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. (Police Jury Districts 14 and 15) Representatives of Union Pacific
Railroad were invited to attend the meeting to address this issue but were
unable to attend, and the Committee recommended that said representatives be
requested to attend the Regular Meeting on September 21, 2006, to discuss this
matter.
(13.4)
Received report and recommendations from staff with
reference to the storm debris close-out phase wherein it was reported that
contractors for the Corps of Engineers had completed all demolitions (206
total) and private property debris removal (213 total), as well as removal of
most of the eligible storm debris from public rights-of-way. 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.
(13.5) Received a presentation by representatives of the Coastal
Protection Restoration Authority – Integrated Planning Team with reference to
the feasibility of a levee system throughout the coastal areas of south
Louisiana. Appearing before the Committee with an update to the Louisiana
Comprehensive Coastal Protection Master Plan were Mr. Lucien J. “Lu” Cutrera
and Mr. Oneil Malborough of the Shaw Group.
(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.
(13.8) Recommended that a
resolution be adopted authorizing the Division of Engineering and Public Works

ninety-five percent (95%) of eligible expenses.)

resolution be adopted approving a Contract to Provide Services/Hold Harmless
