William Matsikoudis, Jersey City municipal attorney, who estimated the city has spent more than $500,000 in legal fees on the battle said "We're one step away from a settlement that will provide a world-class amenity for the people for Jersey City." Councilman Steve Fulop, a supporter of the plan, said he felt the plan would pass.
