Consideration of approval of the Public Works Committee
Report dated August 28, 2003. Said Committee:
(12.1) Received report from Mr. Allen Smith,
General Counsel, as to the authority of the Parish to address complaints
relative to an overgrown lot located on Fontenot Road. Mr. Smith advised that there were no other
parishes that had the authority to go on private property to clear such
property, and he was concerned about the potential for exposure to a lawsuit or
damages if the Police Jury was given the authority to do so. He further advised
that the Health Department was charged with the responsibility for making sure
there were no health problems associated with overgrown lots, and the Sheriff’s
Department was charged with the responsibility for not allowing criminal
behavior on such lots. Following a lengthy discussion, the Committee
recommended that a resolution be adopted requesting the Calcasieu Legislative
Delegation to consider the enactment of legislation to extend the authority
currently granted under LSA¾R.S. 33:4754 to allow the Parish to clear
property for the purpose of alleviating health and safety problems associated
with overgrown lots, and further, to grant the Parish immunity from liability
in this regard. Voting in opposition to this recommendation were: Mr. Clement,
Mr. Danahay, and Mr. Kleckley. Mr. Rex Dansby, 317 Fontenot Road, Lake Charles,
who originally asked for assistance in this matter, appeared before the
Committee. (Police Jury District 9)
AGENDA NOTE: on July 31, 2003, the Police Jury received a
report from Mr. Allen Smith, General Counsel, as to the authority of the Parish
to address complaints relative to an overgrown lot located on Fontenot
Road. Mr. Smith advised that the
current Parish ordinance pertaining to this issue provided authority for the
cutting of overgrown grass and weeds, not the clearing of lots which would be
required in this particular case. The Committee recommended that language be
drafted by the staff, for presentation at the next Public Works Committee
meeting, to amend the grass cutting ordinance, or to introduce legislation
allowing the Parish to amend said ordinance, to give the Police Jury and staff
the authority to alleviate the health and safety problems associated with
overgrown lots throughout the Parish.
(12.2) Recommended
that an ordinance be adopted to amend Ordinance No. 4443 and to accept the
offer of Gillard Enterprises in the amount of $8,000 for the purchase of
adjudicated property located at 2709 General Travis Street in Lake
Charles. (Police Jury District 10)
AGENDA NOTE: on November 7, 2002, the Police Jury adopted
Parish Ordinance No. 4443 (AP03-031-02) which authorized the sale of this
property to Malcolm J. Boatner for $12,000.
Mr. Boatner has failed to meet the requirements in order to complete the
sale of this property. Gillard
Enterprises was the second highest bidder and previously bid $11,200 for this
property. The staff recommends that,
due to deterioration of the subject property since the initial bids were
received, the offer of Mr. Gillard be accepted.
(12.3) Recommended
that existing ordinances be adopted and/or ordinances be adopted with reference
to the following:
(12.3.1)
