Ruling Confronts Stadium Rent Payment Plan
County Attorney Joe Resweber ruled the Houston Sports Association may delay rent on the county stadium lease until Aug 16 and cannot be forced to pay more than 142,672 this year. The court planned to set next year’s payment around July 15 and sought bond-related credits totaling 557.13, plus accrued interest, while considering escrow deeds for Colt Stadium land. The ruling details rent credits from construction bonds and past payments, with concerns about future tax rates and potential bond issues. The commissioner's court did not act on suspending a pumping contract or awarding drainage work for the stadium site.
