He then noted that MNDOT rejected the application for permits for those billboards 33 <br />and chose to fight the City in Court where the City was successful in the first two phases and the 34 <br />supreme court phase is pending. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Mr. Sonterre indicated that for the last six months or so he has been attempting to find out how 37 <br />much taxpayer money MNDOT has spent attempting to stop the City from erecting the billboards 38 <br />the purpose of which was to generate revenue from the golf course in an attempt to save the 39 <br />City’s taxpayers money. He then indicated that, with the help of Representative Bernardy, he 40 <br />was finally able to determine that MNDOT has spent 735.4 hours of staff time at a cost to the 41 <br />taxpayers of $64,930 in its fight to prevent Mounds View from earning revenue from the 42 <br />billboards at the golf course. 43 <br /> 44
