Statement
from City Attorney, Sylvia Firth
"The
City’s legal team is still evaluating the full effect of Judge Sulak’s
ruling. However, it is safe to say the judge has cleared the way for the
City to issue bonds and execute the venue project as approved by the voters.
All requests for injunctive relief to stop the project were
denied. Additionally, Judge Sulak did impose a requirement for a $1M bond,
in the event the interveners appealed his ruling.
"From
the bench, the judge stated his reluctance to direct City Council’s actions and
did not want to interfere with the legislative branch of government on
how to act with regard to the petitions and the ballot. The final action with
regard to the petition will be considered by City Council on Tuesday, February
26, 2013."
