Judge to hear Phoenix Coyotes' lease case GLENDALE, Ariz., June 18 (UPI) -- A watchdog group's effort to head off the Phoenix Coyotes' arena lease agreement with the city of Glendale, Ariz., will come before a judge this week. The Goldwater Institute alleges improprieties concerning the $324 million deal with Coyotes suitor Greg Jamison the Glendale City Council approved June 8, The (Phoenix) Arizona Republic reported. Goldwater, which sued the city on behalf of two residents, contends there weren't enough votes for an emergency measure to approve the 20-year lease, which passed on a 4-2 council vote with one member absent. Five "yes" votes were required, Goldwater maintains. Goldwater also says the city should have allowed others to bid on a contract to manage the city-owned Jobing.com Arena. Glendale officials say the deal actually won't go into effect immediately and the city's rules allow certain exceptions not mentioned by the Goldwater group. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Dean Fink will take up the matter Tuesday. It's not known when he will reach a decision, though Goldwater has asked he rule the same day, the Republic said.
