I think it is inaccurate to imply that the City Council voted to allow the
Konderator. The City fought the project, losing in court when the business
owners sued the City. After the City lost (I believe both the lawsuit and
the appeal), the attorney's believed that we would lose again and the
potential for damages were large enough that we would have essentially paid
for building the Konderator. It is technically accurate that there was a
vote for the Konderator but only to avoid a huge legal settlement after a
very long fight.
