Brandi Swindell and Bryan Fischer said they will hand-deliver a check for $10,702.55 to city officials Tuesday at Boise City Hall to pay for legal fees associated with a court case about the removal of the Ten Commandments monument from Julia Davis Park.
Swindell said the money came primarily from private donations.
In June, Boise city officials sent Swindell and Fischer a letter saying they owed the city more than $10,000 in legal fees the city incurred in the lawsuit.
Fischer and Swindell led the Keep the Commandments Coalition, which fought unsuccessfully to keep the monument in the park. A judge had ordered the group to pay the legal fees.
The city had placed a lien on the property and assets of Swindell and Fischer and gave them a July 15 deadline to contact the city regarding the amount.
