Spelman was threatening that, which is what brought about the immediate agreement by the promoters to fund all 10 years. At least that's what it seems:

Spelman said that today's latest decision to pay the full 10-year contribution appears to have been triggered by his declaration that he intended to move to postpone council's decision (tentatively scheduled for June 23). "I wanted to allow a full nine days for the public to review the economic study," Spelman told NewsDesk, "as we do in all chapter 380 [incentive] agreements. This is not a chapter 380 agreement – it's with the state's Major Events Trust Fund – but it's close enough that I think we needed to treat it the same way."

So, I think a request for delay might fail now (unless the promoters want it because of the impact study, etc). However, I'm still skeptical until the vote actually happens. You never know what the council could do.
