30. ADVISE
that a response has been received from Congressman Richard H. Baker in regard
to the Police Jury’s resolution of April 3, 2003, which requested the Louisiana
Legislative Delegation to support U. S. Senate Bill 170 and U. S. House of
Representatives Bill 20 to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to
authorize appropriations for state water pollution control revolving
funds. Congressman Baker expressed his
support of H.R. 1560, the “Water Quality Financing Act,” the provisions of
which he felt would help address the wastewater infrastructure funding
shortfall and which he believed to be the most efficient means by which to
extend federal assistance to local communities. Also, Congressman Baker expressed his opposition to H.R. 20, the
“Clean Water Infrastructure Financing Act” because he felt the requirements
pertaining to the award of contracts for architectural and engineering services
would artificially inflate the cost of infrastructure projects, thereby
offsetting the value of the funds original intent.
