"I quite frankly don’t know who the people there report to or are accountable to but it fascinates me that whoever is running the Goldwater Institute can substitute their judgment for that of the Glendale city council. In effect, they’re over-turning a duly enacted resolution in the city and one that was enacted in public session.
That's the part of this I dont get at all.

How does a private (non-elected) enterprise with a clear agenda, over-rule (by use of threat) elected officials of the public?

It's assinine and a really frightening precedent IMO.

I don't care one way or the other where the team plays or even if it plays, but seeing this kind of outside interfence happen to a publicly elected board is really bothersome.
