(13.2) Received report from Planning and Development staff with reference to the enforcement requirements of recently adopted state statutes regarding emergency wind and flood mitigation standards and confusion over what was required by Act 12 of the 2005 First Extraordinary Session of the Legislature, as well as implementation of the 2006 version of the International Building Code in 11 parishes including Calcasieu effective January 1, 2007, subject to legislative oversight prior to implementation thereof, and more stringent elevation criteria set by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Mr. Curt McCardy, Administrator of the Louisiana Code Council, appeared before the Committee in support of the Parish’s efforts thus far and advised that possible funding through the Louisiana Recovery Authority for implementation of the Code was currently being discussed, as well as development of training opportunities for building contractors. Mr. McCardy further advised that Calcasieu Parish should enforce the provisions of the 2003 International Residential Code and the 2003 International Building Code in all areas located north of the one hundred ten (110) miles per hour windspeed line.  Senator Willie Mount and Representatives Brett Geymann and Ronnie Johns also appeared before the Committee regarding this matter, and Representative Johns advised that based on Florida’s experience, the implementation of building codes had lessened the devastation of homes due to hurricanes. He also advised that the implementation in Louisiana was being driven by the biggest issue in the State at the present time which was availability – not affordability – of insurance coverage. Mr. Chad Deshotel, 1640 Highway 384, Lake Charles, a member of the Louisiana Code Council, also appeared before the Committee and advised that based on personal experience, there had been an increase of approximately 15% in construction costs to build a house to meet the requirements of the 110-mph wind load.

 

(13.3) Received report from staff with reference to the Highway 108 at-grade crossing and the Packinghouse Road crossing signal and gate installation.

An estimated 5,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris and 10,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition debris remain and will be picked up by Parish Public Works crews beginning on September 8, 2006, following which Waste Management will be requested to assess remaining residential debris for eligibility and removal within their contract. Any debris deemed ineligible under said contract would be removed by Public Works which will complete the storm debris removal mission. A flyer will be distributed to residents concerning completion of the mission along with a pamphlet setting forth the guidelines of pickup under the Parish’s contract with Waste Management. Brian Street in District 14, “leaners and hangers” in the City of Lake Charles, Rhett Drive in District 1, Salter Bluff Road in District 11, and debris on State rights-of-way were cited by the jurors as still being problem areas.

(13.6) Received a presentation by Mr. Lucas Terracina, Mosquito Control Director, with reference to the status of the Parish’s efforts toward the control of mosquitoes wherein he reported that Hurricane Rita’s storm surge had opened up many more breeding areas and killed a lot of mosquito predators. He also reported that increased costs for insecticides, fuel, personnel, and repairs to equipment had caused operational costs for January – May, 2006, to double, and the West Nile Virus was currently extremely active in the Parish and in the State.

 

(13.7) Received a presentation from Ms. Wanda Clark of Capital One Bank regarding its Community Renewal Fund involving a $100 million allocation of new markets tax credit for use in recovery and redevelopment of the Hurricane Katrina Gulf Opportunity (GO) Zone by assisting businesses in revitalizing low-income communities with investments in both new development and rehabilitation to encourage job creation and job stabilization.
