There's a late entry in the city of Tempe's calendar this year. A special council meeting on Monday December 20, with an executive workshop prior
Executive session
SIRE Public Access
Agenda item 1b
Discussion with attorney/legal advice and options on city owned land on Rio Salado Pkwy and Priest Drive. This is where the arena complex is I believe
Meeting Agenda
SIRE Public Access
Don't see anything directly referring to the project. It does say they can vote to recess or adjourn to the executive session 38-431.03.
So if there is an vote taking place on Monday. What could it be?
One angle could be the city is going to award the contract to Meruelo/Bluebird. I think that's unlikely since the consultant report is not complete and no public hearings have happened.
Another angle is the city has seen enough, this is an off ramp and reject the proposal. With all that's happened in the past week with the delinquent payments and continued public feud with Glendale, the city may decide they want no part of this.
A middle angle is they 'continue' on the current course with Meruelo but they also re open the RFP for other suitors, possibly those that don't need to be sports and entertainment related. This would be a significant delay
Could be a popcorn session
