Oro Valley Council To Discuss Ramifications Of Az Supreme Court Ruling On CityNorth
As a result of today's Supreme Court ruling on Turken vs. Gordon (the CityNorth subsidy) the Oro Valley Town Council will discuss the ramifications on previous subsidies given out here.
The discussion will be held in Executive Session Jan. 27 @ 5:00PM.
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING PAYMENTS UNDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS FOLLOWING THE ARIZONA SUPREME COURT TURKEN V. GORDON DECISION.
In light of the court's decision that the ruling applies going forward and will not affect previous agreements that public entities have signed with developers, it seems that Oro Valley must give the funds held in escrow to the appropriate developers.
Let's not forget one thing. It was under the inept leadership of Mayor Loomis that these agreements were made that were so one sided in favor of the developers----especially Vestar and its Marketplace anchored by Walmart.

Az Supreme Court Vacats Appeals Court Decision On CityNorth Subsidy
The Supreme Court of Arizona basically upheld the Superior Court's ruling on the Turken. vs. Gordon subsidy case, and vacated the Appeal's Court ruling.
The ramifications of the decision are still to be determined, by suffice to say, it was a loss for the small business owners and the people of Arizona, including, of course, those of us in Oro Valley.
In any case, in its 29 page decision, the court made it clear that their decision would only be applicable to transactions made after this ruling.
Please stay tuned to see a soon to be released press release from The Goldwater Institute.
