The Amador County superior court then found in favor of both organizations, overturning the agreement and the City was ordered to repeal the MSA. City attorney Mike Dean had originally advised the current city council to avoid taking a stance, for or against the casino, until the all appeals over the Amador County court decision were exhausted s to avoid "major legal issues" for the city. Attached to the MSA was a letter from the city supporting the casino; Dean told the council, now that all appeals were exhausted and the MSA was officially dead, the city would be free to withdraw or uphold their letter of support for the Ione Band of Miwok Indian's casino application. There was, however, no policy decision at last week’s city council meeting as the item was on the agenda for discussion or action.
