MNDOT Revolving Loan Fund/Highway 10 Soundwall Funding <br /> <br />Public Works Director Ulrich reported he had received a call from MNDOT this afternoon <br />indicating the bill to fund the soundwall was defeated. He told Council that he was asked to <br />notify them of a source for funding for the soundwall loan. He told Council he was told there is a <br />meeting scheduled for April 25, 2001 to discuss the matter. He then asked Council for direction <br />as to how to proceed. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre explained that he had indicated to the Senator that a transportation loan would be <br />a last resort for the City as the City feels it was entitled to the soundwall and did not receive it. <br />He explained that the City has asked MNDOT to research the definition of the implementation of <br />the original project and report back. He then noted until other avenues are explored the City does <br />not want to invest any money. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas noted it would be several months before the City has an idea where <br />MNDOT stands on the issue. She then stated she did not feel the City needed to consider a <br />transportation loan unless it is the only option.
