Mounds View City Council December 30, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 6 B. Public Hearing to Consider the Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 708, an Ordinance Amending Section 1008 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Pertaining to Billboards Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 7:38 p.m. City Attorney Riggs asked that Mr. Ericson's comments from the previous matter be entered for this item as well. Community Development Director Ericson explained that the City entered into a lease agreement for six billboards at the golf course that have not yet been constructed. He then indicated that, as a result of ongoing appeals and litigation, Clear Channel has requested an extension of the lease agreements in an attempt to recover the costs of litigation. Director Ericson explained that two courses of action need to be taken, the first is an amendment to the City's Code to clarify the lease period of the billboards, and the second would be changing the requirement for the number of feet between signs from 1,000 to 750 to ensure that the signs can be located in areas that do not interfere with the play of golf at the course. Mayor Sonterre closed the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. • MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney.

Resolution 5911 Authorizing the engineering firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik, and Associates (BRAA) to assist in the preparation of the NPDES Phase II Permit Public Works Director Lee explained that Resolution 5911 would authorize BRAA to assist the City in preparing its NPDES Phase II Storm Water Permit. He then indicated that, in his estimation, it would take 800 to 1,000 staff hours to prepare at a cost of $24,000 to $30,000 whereas BRAA has submitted a proposal to charge the City $12,000 to $16,000 to assist the City with the project. Public Works Director Lee indicated that this is a major undertaking and will change the way the City looks at storm water so he felt it would be appropriate to provide a presentation on the storm • water permit issues.
