They were saying on Twitter that the City council was delaying discussing the Arena MOU until after a recess period. They are expecting to pick this up @Aug 24th.
Our own Seatown81 is a good twitter follow for all the latest details. @EJJ206
EDIT: King5 thinks a vote will not occur until September.

Same here. He got re-tweeted by Rotak (I believe) and when I saw that banana head, knew it was Seatown.
No problem Lt Dan.

Seattle City Council stalling out again, watch them drag this past the election date so they can play safe and campaign on what their district yells the loudest.
I hope Hansen can pull some magic off but this city council would rather spray perfume all over themselves while standing in crap and say they are green and helping the enviroment then simply flushing a toilet and cleaning up problems.
With all the mud slinging going on I beleive they are hoping to turn up a skelton to throw a wrench in the mix.

Don't get too discouraged, guys. It's not happening as quickly as we all would like. But it's better for the council to get it right, than it is to do it fast. There are likely a couple council members still on the fence that need a little bit more to get fully on board. People in the know are all saying that word is Tim Burgess, who leads the committee overseeing the proposal, is doing a good job trying to make this work for everyone. We don't want the council voting this out of committee and to a vote if it won't pass. That's why waiting a couple more weeks to get a deal that everyone is happy with is important.
Here's an update from Chris Hansen from yesterday:

And some positive news today. Local Seattle politicians telling the city council that they support the arena:

Keep on fighting. We've had a really productive day mass tweeting the city council. Send a message or two to @SeattleCouncil, telling them you want this passed. There's been a big push of fans tweeting the following:
@SeattleCouncil: As a registered voter, I ask that you approve the SoDo arena MOU. Thank you. #SeattleArena
Keep up the faith!

I like that Seattle Legislators are coming to our aide, like we needed it anyway we already had facts on our side. But this is like a whipped cream topping, all we need is that cherry (whats up seattle city council?!)

Citing e-mail documentation, arena proponents contend the #Mariners hired Pacific Public Affairs to wage PR war against the proposed arena
Jason Puckett @JasonPuckettKJR
#Mariners paid, in part, for anti-arena poll that appeared last Friday that said the public is against arena, @SportsRadioKJR has learned.
I'm so sick of the @#$% Mariners at this point.
I actually sent them an email telling them how disappointed I am in them, and how they've betrayed the people of Seattle. And at this point wont be attending any more games or buying any more merchandise.
Never heard back....

I sent them something along the same lines. And as long as the ownership that doesn't give a damn is there, and the two clowns in Howie and Chuckie continue to run that organization, I won't be spending a dime. On top of that, I would be rooting for every team they play until they change their stance/ownership. They sent me a "Thank you for your input" spiel. Go figure. I just cannot fathom how they thought this was a good idea.

They're so stupid, this is going to be a PR nightmare for them.
Seahawks took the right approach, "We want the Sonics back!" Then they silently went away and never said another word.

Bahahaha, not only did they pay for it, they are owning up to it as if it's some sort of badge of honor. Screw that franchise, they are dead to me.

The little respect I had for the M's has just gone out the window.......screw ownership, get someone else to run them!

I told them I'd be rooting for any team they play to beat them, and my fandom would not return until an owner who cared actually came in (cares enough to actually attend a game for once in his ownership) and the two clowns (Howie and Chuckie) running the team are gone.

I think Picketing Safeco Field and having signs that ask if the Mariners are going to pay for the Arena if the don't want Hansen to.
Or
The Mariners are so bad and afraid of competition that there afraid of a basketball team.
