Mounds View City Council May 28, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that Mr. Werner would be able to speak to the matter during the <br />Consent Agenda portion of the meeting. <br /> <br />David Jahnke 8428 Eastwood Road commented that it was interesting that Council attempted to <br />postpone approval of the minutes because one Council Member was absent. He then said he had <br />never heard of a delay on approving minutes when someone was absent and asked why. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated he had only one hour ago found someone to cover his store for him and <br />had thought he was going to miss the meeting and it concerned him that the minutes would have <br />been approved with only three members and thought, even though he was able to attend the <br />meeting, Council Member Thomas should be able to voice her opinion on the minutes. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke commented he had heard the billboards were to be put up and begin generating <br />revenue. He then asked if that was true. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated Council would be discussing that matter in closed session <br />following the Council Meeting but said MNDOT filed a petition to appeal to the Supreme Court. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke asked why MNDOT is fighting this matter so hard. <br /> <br />City Attorney Riggs indicated he was not sure why MNDOT was fighting the issue and is only <br />privy to what is filed in the petition. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke indicated it concerns him that public works staff had been working up at the golf <br />course and he wondered if there was separate accounting at the course or how the bookkeeping <br />had been done. <br /> <br />Finance Director Hansen indicated the golf course has been set up as a separate fund since the <br />time the course opened with separate profit and loss statements. <br /> <br />Mr. Jahnke asked how the public works salaries were billed when they were working at the golf <br />course. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated she was not sure how it was done in the past but said she <br />could assure Mr. Jahnke that last year the salary for the work done by public works at the golf <br />course was taken out of the golf course fund. <br /> <br />5.
