Although there may be no recognized academic degree in arena management, plainly a wide range of specialized knowledge, predominantly mental or intellectual, is critical to success in the field. The Court finds that the arena management contract calls for the provision of professional services and therefore falls outside the scope of the Purchasing Ordinance.

What happens next?

1) Jamison has 30 days to close deal. The ruling may provide comfort to investors.

2) Taxpayers have until July 8 IIRC, to collect enough signatures for a referendum. The only info I have seen is that "several hundred" have been obtained. They need over 1800 IIRC.

3) GWI could appeal this ruling (unlikely). GWI could still challenge the deal as a violation of the gift clause (more likely).
