An attempt to stop the $5 million Pacific Airshow settlement between the city of Huntington Beach and air show operator Code Four was dismissed by a judge July 26.
Former Huntington Beach Mayor Connie Boardman and former Planning Commissioner Mark Bixby filed a lawsuit against the city June 29, arguing that the settlement is an “unlawful gift of public funds,” and that the city’s first payment—due July 31—should be stopped immediately.
