City creating contingency ballot if Apex case is lost
Arguments for or against a private motor facility in Maricopa are due by 5 p.m. tomorrow, pending a judge’s ruling.
In a statement Tuesday, the city said it will refer the Maricopa City Council’s approval of a conditional use permit (CUP 17-01) for Apex Motor Club to the November election. City Clerk Vanessa Bueras said it is only a contingency, and Superior Court Presiding Judge Stephen F. McCarville has not yet ruled. His decision is expected shortly.
However, arguments on the potential ballot issue must be submitted 90 days before the election. That puts the deadline at 5 p.m. Aug. 9.
