SUBJECT OF CLOSED SESSION:
4-A CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL - EXISTING LITIGATION Requests for the City to participate as amicus in pending litigations (Pursuant to Government Code § 54956.9)
Case Name: 303 Creative LLC, et al. v Aubrey Elenis et al.
Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Case Number: 19-1413
POST-MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
Action: The City has been asked to join numerous other local jurisdictions by signing on to an amicus brief to be filed in the above case where the United State Supreme Court will consider whether applying a public accommodations law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent violates the Free Speech Clause. The 11th Circuit concluded that Colorado’s Anti -Discrimination Act (“CADA”) is narrowly tailored to Colorado’s interest in ensuring equal access to publicly available goods and services. Excepting Plaintiffs from CADA would “necessarily relegate LGBT consumers to an inferior market because [Plaintiffs’] unique services are, by definition, unavailable elsewhere.” The amicus brief seeks to support the State of Colorado. The Council has voted to authorize the City Attorney to sign the amicus brief as requested.
