PUBLIC INPUT <br />Richard Sonterre of 5060 Red Oak Drive indicated that previous Council had taken a positive <br />step to solve the finances of the golf course by entering into an agreement to erect billboards at <br />the course. He then noted that MNDOT rejected the application for permits for those billboards <br />and chose to fight the City in Court where the City was successful in the first two phases and the <br />supreme court phase is pending. <br />Mr. Sonterre indicated that for the last six months or so he has been attempting to find out how <br />much taxpayer money MNDOT has spent attempting to stop the City from erecting the billboards <br />the purpose of which was to generate revenue from the golf course in an attempt to save the <br />City's taxpayers money. He then indicated that, with the help of Representative Bernardy, he <br />was finally able to determine that MNDOT has spent 735.4 hours of staff time at a cost to the <br />taxpayers of $64,930 in its fight to prevent Mounds View from earning revenue from the <br />billboards at the golf course. <br />
