It is dying off without a whimper, after DA Matt Powell signed off on a letter to the city council declining to file suit over the matter. Powell cited a prior city attorney's opinion dating from 2008 concerning the city charter "no debts" provision and constitutional problems with enforcing it and that was that.
(Now why weren't the opinion and constitutional problems revealed by the current city attorney, who gets a higher salary than the DA does?)
Unsatisfying, to those of us who like to see final definitive conclusions. But for the political realists on the council and at the DA's office, it is enough.
