* * * * * * * * * * * *

Motion was made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Breaux and carried unanimously that Recommendation No. 1 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore be approved.

With respect to said recommendation, Mr. Andrepont pointed out that while he did not have a problem when appropriate in listening to persons who appeared before the Police Jury with a complaint, the Police Jury was a policymaking body and did not enforce laws that they adopted. He further pointed out that enforcement was law enforcement's responsibility, and if there was a problem with the noise ordinance, it was the responsibility of the appropriate law enforcement agency to make recommendations to the Police Jury concerning same.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont and seconded by Mrs. August that persons with these types of complaints be discouraged from appearing before the Police Jury in circumstances when the Police Jury was not in a position to do anything about their complaints, and further, if the Sheriff's Department or appropriate law enforcement agency could provide no relief, then those persons would then be allowed to appear before the Police Jury.

Mr. Breaux suggested that persons with complaints contact the staff after contacting law enforcement and prior to appearing before the Police Jury. Ms. Mailhes explained that Mr. Lowe had done that, and the staff had measured the distance between his residence and Granger's Restaurant, as per the requirements of the Parish noise ordinance, and had determined that he did not live within 200' of the restaurant and was, therefore, not covered by said ordinance.

Mr. Vickers stated that Mr. Lowe had initially contacted the Sheriff's Department, and he was told that his property was outside the limits of the ordinance; then Mr. Lowe contacted the staff, and the distance was measured. Mr. Vickers also stated that the staff had gone even further and had notified the owner of Granger's Restaurant and asked them to lower the volume of the music, but Mr. Lowe still complained. He stated that the staff met personally with the restaurant owners, and Mr. Collins had been out to the location as well. Mr. Vickers advised that the reason Mr. Lowe had not appeared at the Public Works Committee meeting, after having made the request to do so, was because he did not want the owners of the restaurant to be present when the matter was discussed, and Mr. Lowe was told that was not the way the Parish conducted its business. Mr. Vickers emphasized the fact that the staff did try to administratively resolve the problem, but Mr. Lowe felt the only way to get his point across was to appear before the Police Jury.

Mr. Clement questioned how persons with complaints could be discouraged from appearing before the Police Jury, and Mr. McMurry stated that it would help to have formal action of the Police Jury in this regard although the staff did automatically attempt to discourage them if they had not gone through the proper procedures to resolve their complaint.

A vote on the motion on the floor carried unanimously.

It was moved by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. McMillin and carried unanimously to approve Recommendation Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore; whereupon, the following resolutions and ordinances be adopted:

President Mackey advised that a presentation would be given at this time by Ms. Laura Lanza, Director of the Parish's Animal Control Department, with regard to the possible development of a dog park at the site of the Calcasieu Animal Control facility.

Ms. Lanza stated that her proposal would be to use part of the land at the very front of the new animal control facility to address suggestions made to her for the past 15 to 20 years by citizens and dog enthusiasts relative to a need for a safe and specialized park for dogs and their owners to exercise and socialize. Ms. Lanza stated that dog parks were a fast growing form of recreation especially because of limited access to public parks. She further stated that in addition to grants from the Association for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Pets Mart, the Animal Concern and Education Corps had agreed to donate approximately $8-12,000 for the dog park, on top of the $55,000 already donated for the Adoption Garden at the Animal Control Facility.

Mr. McMillin asked about signage for the Animal Control Facility, and Ms. Lanza stated that while some of the citizens had asked for a larger sign out front, the public was finding its way to the facility. Mr. McMurry stated that the staff was looking at some different designs for signage of various parish installations and was in the process of trying to decide on the best design.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. Treme and carried unanimously that the development of a dog park at the site of the Calcasieu Animal Control Facility be approved and that the staff be authorized to solicit bids for fencing of the park.

Upon motion made by Mr. Andrepont, which was duly seconded by Mr. Breaux and carried unanimously, the following resolutions were adopted:

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, notification has been received that application for a Department of the Army Permit has been made to the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and application for a Water Quality Certification (WQC) has been made to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality by Calcasieu Parish Gravity Drainage District No. Five of Ward Four to fill an existing ditch and install a 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe to improve drainage and safety and to reduce erosion and maintenance in a portion of the Sumpter Ditch Drainage Channel east of Saunier Street in Sulphur, Louisiana, which is located within Section 3, Township 10 South, Range 10 West of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana; and

WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal of Gravity Drainage District No. Five of Ward Four relative to its compliance with current parish ordinances and provisions, such as zoning classification, flood zone regulations, coastal zone regulations, and required development permits, as well as its impact on the Parish Transportation System; and

WHEREAS, upon completion of evaluation, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development concluded there is no cause for objection to the permit application based on parish ordinances and provisions, provided a development permit is obtained from the Parish Division of Planning and Development prior to commencement of the project.

NOW THEREFORE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, convened in regular session on the 1^st day of June, 2000, that it does hereby indicate no objection to the proposal of Calcasieu Parish Gravity Drainage District No. Five of Ward Four to fill an existing ditch and install a 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe to improve drainage and safety and to reduce erosion and maintenance in a portion of the Sumpter Ditch Drainage Channel east of Saunier Street in Sulphur, Louisiana, which is located within Section 3, Township 10 South, Range 10 West of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, provided said work meets with the rules and regulations of the Corps of Engineers and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, and approvals are received from all appropriate state and federal agencies, and further, that a development permit is obtained from the Parish Division of Planning and Development prior to commencement of the project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the no objection position of the Police Jury in this permit application is based solely on the evaluation of the parish staff of the project's effect on current parish ordinances and provisions.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a study on the environmental impact of the aforementioned project has not been made due to the lack of expertise of the parish staff to accomplish such a study, and the Police Jury requests that agencies and/or individuals with such expertise make an environmental review of said project and forward their findings to the U.S. Corps of Engineers.

President Mackey advised that a report would be received at this time from the Parish Administrator on the status of activities of the Calcasieu Estuary Community Task Force. Mr. McMurry advised that said Task Force had met twice thus far, once in January and once in March of 2000. He further advised that EPA had just received the last package of sampling data from the laboratory in Houston, Texas, and was in the process of validating the samples with a report on same anticipated by the end of June. Mr. McMurry pointed out that one of the questions raised by the legislators was the reasoning behind releasing raw data to the public which had not been assessed or interpreted, and EPA had said that their rules and regulations require release of the data; therefore, a sub-committee of the Task Force had been appointed to meet with EPA to work out a mechanism for dissemination of same.

Mr. McMurry stated that the next step, after release of the data, was to hold a meeting of the Task Force in early to mid-July which would be geared toward a training session of the Task Force members on the whole issue of risk assessment which was one of the most important facets of the study, because sometimes the risks of complete cleanup were greater than managing the contamination that existed, and the Task Force members wanted someone from a scientific point of view to teach them as laymen what the whole process of risk assessment was all about and what purpose it served.

Mr. McMurry further advised that in August, the EPA expected to have a document dealing with project formulation, sampling and analysis for Phase II, which would begin in late Summer or Fall with the objective being to try to fill in the gaps between complete final analysis of the Calcasieu Estuary and its contamination, as well as corrective action needed.

Mr. McMurry closed by saying that he felt a report to the Police Jury on the activities of the Task Force was needed at this time, because nothing had been reported in the media recently about it, and he assured the jurors that the Task Force had not "died on the vine," but the gathering of data had been a slow process.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously that the report given by Mr. McMurry as outlined heretofore be received.

Upon motion made by Mr. Manuel, which was duly seconded by Mr. Andrepont and carried unanimously, the following resolution was adopted:

RESOLUTION

Motion was made by Mr. Breaux, seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously that the following resolution be adopted:
