Glendale City Council members emerged from a four-hour private session Tuesday saying they were still unable to settle on an arena deal worthy of bringing to a vote.

Council members are seeking more assurances from the prospective owners of the Phoenix Coyotes that hockey will be a money-making venture.

Councilwoman Norma Alvarez, a vocal opponent of spending for professional sports, called her colleges knuckleheads for continuing negotiations with Renaissance.

When asked to clarify her statement, Alvarez replied, “I called them knuckleheads, because they don’t get it. They don’t get it. They don’t get it. They’re going to continue discussions. Discussions of what? We’re selling City Hall because of paying $50 million. C’mon. C’mon.”
