How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- reasoning that negotiation of leases and amendments thereto between the city and bridge operators were administrative acts not subject to referendum
- explaining that a party’s failure to challenge evidence presented in support of a motion for summary judgment in the district court waives any such challenge on appeal
- refusing to read into a city charter an extension of the referendum power to matters purely administrative in character, given the burden that such an extension would place on the operation of local government
- city's amendment to lease with private company in which city agreed to reduce share of bridge tolls served a valid public purpose
- a party’s failure to challenge evidence submitted in support of summary judgment in the district court waives any such challenge on appeal
- authorization of improvements to Royal Gorge Bridge served a valid public purpose of improving and extending life of valuable source of municipal revenue
