What the Doan camp hopes to learn Monday is whether enough signatures were gathered and if July 9 will be considered the final deadline for them.

Arizona law says referendum organizers typically have 30 days after an ordinance is passed to turn in signatures, which, in this case, would be Monday. But organizers say because paperwork was unavailable until June 15, they should have until July 16 to turn in signatures.

It's unclear whether the required number of signatures has been reached or if organizers will even submit them Monday to the city.

Bross plans to check in with General Manager Don Maloney this morning to check in on those factors and learn the status of Jamison's bid to purchase the team.

"Pending the outcome of that conversation, it could go one of two ways," Bross said. "I would think if they don't have the signatures and it looks like the Jamison thing is going to go (through), then Don and I would get a little more serious in our dialogue about a new contract.

"If they do have the signatures or something throws a wrench in it and they say we're looking at two months before we can make a decision, I think we have to listen to some other offers."
