Won't the city and developer be able to work out the uncertainties about financial risks and local control?

The initiative and its 280 pages of documents cannot be amended prior to the election.

The city and the developer are currently negotiating the terms of the DDADisposition and Development Agreement, a document not part of the initiative. The DDA is required for development to proceed and contains more specifics than in the initiative. SunCal and its supporters are hoping that negotiations on the DDA will correct imbalances and reduce risks contained in the initiative. Opponents are skeptical about the legal power of a DDA to protect the city from the troubling language in the initiative if it is approved. Additionally, the Interim City Manager and the City Attorney have both issued letters saying that voters cannot rely on these negotiations to remedy the financial concerns and control issues that will become law if approved by voters. The two letters are posted under "Election Reports" on this website.
