City of Glendale Council Meeting May Signal Coyote Sale Nearing Finalization

We have been friends of the Coyote fans and the Coyote Coalition in their fight to save their team and have supported them throughout their entire ordeal. late notice went out last night about a City of Glendale City Council meeting that may signal the sale is nearing completion.

This should be the final step needed before the bonds needed to finance the City's part of the bid are put on the market to be sold.

Attached please find the latest release from Heather McWhorter regarding today's meeting...

Greetings Everyone!

I apologize for the short notice - but we just received word at the game last night that there will be a Glendale City Council meeting today at 1:00pm regarding an update on the Coyotes sale to Matthew Hulsizer. The meeting is open to the public and could very well be one of the final steps in finalizing the sale of the team to Mr. Hulsizer!

We're certain those in opposition will be present so we need as many Coyotes supporters out there in Coyotes gear as possible! I know the 1:00pm start time and short notice will make it hard on people to be present, but if you are able we'd really appreciate you being there, in Coyotes gear, to show your support. Here's more information on the meeting:

Where: Glendale City Council Chambers
5850 W. Glendale Ave.
Glendale, AZ 85301
When: 1:00pm Tuesday February 15, 2010

Meeting Agenda

The meeting will begin promptly at 1:00pm so please be on time. I will be there in my Kyle Turris jersey - so please stop and say hello if you spot me. I know this is short notice - but it would be great to see as many people as possible there! I know the team would appreciate our support, as always!

City Counsel Vote On Coyote Lease in Glendale Tonight

After almost two years of turmoil in Phoenix with the ongoing Coyote ownership saga, it appears that tonight's Glendale City Counsel vote will give approval to the lease arrangement with Matthew Hulsizer. Here are the main points of the negotiated lease from the Arizona Republic.

POTG has been a supporter of fans and friends in Phoenix to hold on to their team since the first brutal attacks by common enemy Jim Ballsille in the spring of 2009 so it is particularly fulfilling to see the matter coming to a positive conclusion.

With only a couple of games around the NHL tonight, you may want to tune in to the online feed of the City Counsel Meeting after the Pittsburgh at Philadelphia game is over. Here is the link to the feed. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. MST and there are a few preliminary items on the agenda so the timing should be about right.

Congrats to all the Phoenix faithful and good luck to Matthew Hulsizer in trying to bring the same success to the Coyotes that the Nashville ownership group has to the Predators.

The only fly in the ointment at this point is breaking news from @brahmresnik: BREAKING #Coyotes: Goldwater Institute says lease 'appears to grant unconstitutional subsidy' that violates #AZ gift clause. Goldwater has thrown cold water on every move that has been made so this should not come as a surprise. Here is a copy of their letter to the City of Glendale.

Here is more news on the lease from Rebekah Sanders.
