Mounds View City Council February 12, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 10 he does not understand why the City would look into building another nine holes if it cannot make the first nine work. Dan Lamb of 2305 Sherwood Road stated he had attended the Rice Creek Watershed meeting on the Greenfield ponding issue. Again, in his opinion, it lacked the information residents had requested. Last September Mayor Sonterre’s e-mail stated he had compiled a list of questions and forwarded them to Rice Creek. These questions were not answered and residents still have not received the information. In essence, in his opinion, Rice Creek was not prepared to answer the questions previously asked of them. Residents did have a list at the meeting aside from the list the mayor had said he would provide. He then asked if the City could pull this together somehow. Mayor Sonterre stated he took issue with the comments of Mr. Lamb. He indicted everything sent to him as liaison on the ponding issue was forwarded on to Rice Creek which he can prove by providing information on all e-mails sent to him. All e-mails concerning the ponding issue were forwarded to Rice Creek and Mike Ulrich. So, the statement Mr. Lamb made indicating the questions were not forwarded to Rice Creek is false. Mayor Sonterre then noted Mr. Lamb was on public record as saying he was opposed to the pond in every way, shape and form. Mayor Sonterre also noted he has heard Mr. Lamb say that anything he could use to derail the project he would so any comments made by Mr. Lamb to him are viewed in that light. Mr. Lamb stated Rice Creek had told him they had not received a list of questions. Mayor Sonterre clarified everything sent to him on the ponding issue was forwarded on to Rice Creek. Mr. Lamb referred to a letter with highlighted items the City needed to provide before the project could proceed. He then asked if the City had provided any of those items. Council Member Marty stated the City has not provided any of that information. Council Member Stigney noted it was mentioned at the meeting but council did not provide the information. Mr. Lamb asked if the City provided direction on any of the items in the letter. Council Member Marty explained the City has not provided direction. The issue is merely in the discussion stages at this point. Mr. Lamb asked if the City has provided a rough estimate of spoils as requested in the letter. Council Member Marty stated the City has taken no further action at all.
