EAA is trying to get the ordinance changed, but they can't directly
help me with my upcoming court case.

No doubt.

Recinding or amending the ordinance is a legislative matter
requiring the cooperation of the city council members, in particular
the sponsoring councilman. Nothing about defending you in court will
assist that effort. Quite the contrary. As long as you remain (to
paraphrase your own words) a thorn in the side of the city, you make
the EAA's job harder.

In our society we honor those who accept personal sacrifice for the
greater good of their peers. Please, consider clearing the field and
allowing the EAA to work for all.
