The Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against the City Council's decision to reject a proposal submitted by the Chair of the City Council. The court found that the Chair failed to formally present the proposal to the council members for consideration and did not verify which original proposals should be voted upon. Consequently, the decision was invalid because it omitted a proposal that had been part of the council's deliberation process.

Kaupunginvaltuuston puheenjohtajan kaupunginhallituksen esityksestä poikkeavaa esitystä ei voitu pitää kaupunginhallituksen esityksenä. Valtuuston puheenjohtaja ei ollut myöskään tiedustellut nimenomaan kannattiko joku valtuutetuista alkuperäistä kaupunginhallituksen esitystä. Puheenjohtaja ei ollut niin ikään todennut niitä esityksiä, joita ei oteta äänestykseen. Tähän nähden valtuuston päätös asiassa oli tehty ottamatta kaupunginhallituksen valtuustokäsittelyn pohjana ollutta esitystä äänestykseen.
