He then indicated that to collect the $703.00 <br />from Mayor Sonterre the City had spent $852.00 in legal fees. He further commented he is glad <br />to hear it has been paid tonight and he is glad that it is over with but it should never have come to <br />this as it should have been paid right away. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre commented it should never have happened in the first place. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre reported he had attended a meeting concerning the potential use of the TCAAP <br />property. He then commented the list of attendees was impressive but said he felt more of the <br />citizenry should be invited. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that the LaPort Meadows legislative bill had been held up in committee <br />but had been moved to the calendar and should be approved in the coming weeks.
