Lake Charles, Louisiana

July 5, 2001

The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in regular session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 5, 2001, in Courtroom A of the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse, 1000 Ryan Street, with the Honorable Elizabeth Conway Griffin, President, presiding, and the following members present:

Mesdames Luvertha August and Sandra Treme; and Messrs. Francis Andrepont, Algie Breaux, Brent Clement, Calvin Collins, Mike Danahay, Enos Derbonne, Chuck Kleckley, Chris Landry, Charles S. Mackey, D.D.S., and Don Manuel.

Absent: Hal McMillin and Cornelius "Cornie" Moon (vacation)

Also present were Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Parish Administrator; Mr. Bryan Beam, Assistant to the Administrator; Mrs. Coleen Clark, Executive Secretary; Ms. Kathy P. Criglow, Recording Secretary; Mr. Richard Gremillion, Director of Emergency Preparedness; Mrs. Cheryl Heisser, Director of Human Resources; Mr. Jerry Milner, Director of Finance; Mr. Claude Smart, Parish Engineer; Mr. Allen Smith of Plauche, Smith, and Nieset, Legal Counsel; Mr. Gerry Trahan, Director of Facilities Management; and Mr. Jim Vickers, Director of Planning and Development.

President Griffin called the meeting to order, and the invocation was pronounced by Reverend Dr. Ralph Milligan, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Dr. Mackey. The roll was called with the result being as outlined above.

President Griffin announced that a recent article in the "Southwest Daily News" had incorrectly stated that the Police Jury would on this date take action on a variance that had been approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on June 19, 2001, relative to property on Beglis Parkway in Ward Four being developed by Peppermill Apartments. She stated that if anyone was present for discussion on this item, the Police Jury would not be taking action on it since action by the Police Jury was not necessary on these types of variances.

President Griffin also announced that some adjustments had been made to the sound system in the courtroom so that everyone present could better hear and be heard. She asked that everyone speak directly into the microphones from a comfortable distance and that anyone in the audience who wished to address the Police Jury fill out a request form and present it to a staff member.

President Griffin advised that bids would be received and opened at this time, as advertised in accordance with law for action to be taken at 5:30 p.m., for an oil, gas, and mineral lease on certain roads in Section 27, Township 8 South, Range 9 West, in Ward One of Calcasieu Parish.

Mr. McMurry then proceeded to open the only bid received of Angelle & Donohue Oil & Gas Properties, Inc. and publicly read the details of said bid which are incorporated in the resolution set forth below which was adopted upon motion made by Dr. Mackey, duly seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously:

A report was received at this time from Dr. Charles S. Mackey, Police Juror-District Five, with reference to on-going activities within his Police Jury district and liaison affiliations. Dr. Mackey stated that the campaign to display the national motto "In God We Trust" in public buildings throughout the nation had been very successful, a campaign which he had implemented on a local government level in 2000. He pointed out that the goal of the American Family Association was to have a copy in each school room in the United States.

Dr. Mackey also reported on his liaison affiliations with The Chamber Southwest Louisiana, the Education and Treatment Council (ETC), the Calcasieu Parish Communications District, and the Office of Juvenile Justice Services, giving statistics and related information concerning each and the various programs available, such as Harbor House through ETC which provided a home bound school program of teachers and tutors, substance abuse group counseling, individual and family counseling, psychiatric consultations, etc.

Dr. Mackey stated that the Calcasieu Parish Communications District was the hub of emergency communications in Calcasieu Parish and currently handled more than 120,000 emergency calls per year, as well as computer-aided dispatching of eleven of the Parish's 13 fire departments, Southwest Louisiana Mutual Aid, and the West-Calcasieu Cameron Hospital ambulance service. Dr. Mackey further stated that the Calcasieu Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) was also being temporarily housed in the 911 Center while renovations to the Parish Government Building were being done. He pointed out that some of the projects being planned for implementation by the Communications District included the coordination with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's radio system to enhance it and to accommodate all parish and municipal public safety emergency communications needs; a parish paging system with the goal of decreasing response time; replacement/upgrade of the 911 telephone system to meet the demands of increased usage of cellular phones and in order to better locate wireless calls to 911; and renovations to OEP's mobile command center to make it a 911 back-up center.

Dr. Mackey concluded his report with a brief synopsis of the programs offered through the Office of Juvenile Justice Services such as the 38-bed juvenile detention center, FINS (Families in Need of Services) Program, juvenile drug treatment programs, family strengthening and truancy intervention programs, juvenile drug court program, and a truancy assessment center which would be one of ten pilot programs throughout the State. Dr. Mackey advised that the improvements currently underway to provide municipal sewage treatment service to the Office of Juvenile Justice Services would be completed in approximately sixty days, and the groundbreaking for the new Training and Education Center was projected for October.

President Griffin thanked Dr. Mackey for his very thorough report.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously that payment of all current invoices be approved.

It was moved by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of the Police Jury dated June 7, 2001.

Upon motion made by Dr. Mackey, which was duly seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously, the Agenda Committee Report dated June 28, 2001, was approved as follows:

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

It was moved by Dr. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Andrepont and carried unanimously that Recommendation No. 1 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore be approved and that the Parish Engineer's recommendation with respect to said item be approved which was to accept the low bid of R. E. Heidt Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $791,469.49; whereupon, the President of the Police Jury was authorized to execute the contract documents and any amendments or modifications thereto in conjunction with Calcasieu Parish Project No. 2001-04.

Upon motion made by Dr. Mackey, which was duly seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously, Recommendation No. 2 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore was approved, and the Parish Engineer's recommendation with respect to said item was approved which was to accept the low bid of Stars and Stripes Traffic Systems, Inc., in the amount of $120,993.30; whereupon, the President of the Police Jury was authorized to execute the contract documents and any amendments or modifications thereto in conjunction with Calcasieu Parish Project No. 2001-06.

Motion was made by Dr. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Landry and carried unanimously that Recommendation No. 3 of the Public Works Committee be approved.

It was moved by Mr. Kleckley, seconded by Mr. Landry and carried unanimously that Recommendation No. 4 of the Public Works Committee be approved.

With reference to Recommendation No. 5 of the Public Works Committee as listed heretofore, Mr. Smith advised that subsequent to the committee meeting, it had been pointed out to him by Mr. Rod Vincent (who had appeared at the committee meeting with reference to this issue) that a slight amendment to the definition of "vicious animal" was needed to reflect that it meant "any animal having a mean or bad temper or that has demonstrated in overt ways a propensity to endanger the safety of humans or other animals by biting, attacking, or inflicting bodily injury, without provocation, on or off the premises of the owner, whether or not requiring them to seek medical treatment" (the words "whether or not" being an addition to what was approved at the Public Works Committee meeting).

Motion was made by Dr. Mackey and seconded by Mrs. August that Recommendation No. 5 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore be approved, with the inclusion of the amendment outlined by Mr. Smith (in the preceding paragraph).

Mr. Robert Tucker, 3014 Jug Says Road, Moss Bluff, appeared before the Police Jury and spoke in favor of requiring dogs to be restrained on their owners' property, pointing out that until that was done, someone could get bitten by a dog just by walking down the street. He stated that State law required such restraint and that the Police Jury was not following the law.

Mr. Smith advised that the subject matter being addressed by Mr. Tucker was not germane to the current topic of discussion.

In answer to a question by Mr. Manuel, Ms. Morales of the Calcasieu Parish Animal Control Department advised that if a dog was on the property of its owner and not leashed, it would not be considered to be off the property.

Mr. Manuel asked if a dog that came on someone's property could be picked up by Animal Control, and Ms. Morales stated that the Animal Control Department did not just take somebody's word that this was happening, and the person who was having problems in this regard would have to be willing to file a complaint that the animal was off its owner's property and unaccompanied by the owner.

Mr. Derbonne asked how the Parish's ordinance differed from the City's (Lake Charles), and Ms. Morales stated that the City's was very specific and stated that a dog must be completely enclosed within a fence if it was off of a leash. Mr. Smith pointed out that there were probably not as many large tracts of land in the City as were in the Parish where there were farms out in the country which would have to be enclosed with hurricane fencing or something similar in order to keep a dog on the premises.

A vote taken on the motion on the floor carried unanimously; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:

ORDINANCE NO. 4282

AN ORDINANCE amending Article III. Domestic Animals; Division 1. Generally, Sections 5-36 and 5-44, of the Code of Ordinances of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, to provide additions and revisions to the definitions and laws pertaining to vicious animals in said section.

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, in regular session convened on the 5^th day of July, 2001, that it does hereby amend Article III. Domestic Animals; Division 1. Generally, Sections 5-36 and 5-44, of the Code of Ordinances of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.

SECTION I. Article III. Domestic Animals, Division 1. Generally, Section 5-36. Definitions, is amended by revising the definition of vicious animal as follows:

Vicious Animal - shall mean any animal having a mean or bad temper or that has demonstrated in overt ways a propensity to endanger the safety of humans or other animals by biting, attacking, or inflicting bodily injury, without provocation, on or off the premises of the owner, whether or not requiring them to seek medical treatment.

SECTION 2. Article III. Domestic Animals, Division 1. Generally, Section 5-36. Definitions, is amended by adding the following sections thereto:

Confinement Requirements - shall mean a securely enclosed and locked pen or structure suitable to prevent the dog from coming into contact with a human being other than the owner or any other animal and designed to prevent the animal from escaping. The pen shall be constructed of 9gauge material or stronger. The pen shall be no smaller than four (4) foot x ten (10) foot with sides no shorter than six (6) foot for the comfort of the animal. The sides must be imbedded into the ground not less than one foot if the pen is not on a concrete slab. The pen or dog run area must also have a secure top connected to the side as to ensure that the animal cannot climb out. The pen shall provide a humane existence for the dog and protection from the elements.

Animal Control Shelter - shall mean the Calcasieu Parish Animal Control and Protection Department operated by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury.

SECTION 3. Article III. Domestic Animals, Division 1. Generally, Section 5-44. Vicious Animals, is amended and reenacted to read in its entirety as follows:

• Any animal having a mean or bad temper or that has demonstrated in overt ways a propensity to endanger the safety of humans or other animals by threatening, chasing, growling, biting, attacking, or inflicting bodily injury, without provocation, on or off the premises of the owner, whether or not requiring them to seek medical treatment is hereby deemed and declared a vicious animal by the director or his/her designated agent and shall be effectively confined and controlled at all times by its owner.

• The owner of any animal defined as vicious by this article shall be issued a written notice of confinement requirements stating the animal shall not be in violation of said requirements as defined by this article. Any owner seeking to reclaim a vicious animal impounded under the authority of section 5-62 shall also be notified in writing of confinement requirements. The owner of any animal declared vicious shall immediately have the animal micro-chipped for identification and convey the information over to the animal control shelter.

• No person owning/harboring or having the care of a "vicious" dog shall permit such dog to go beyond said confinement unless such dog is securely leashed and muzzled or otherwise securely restrained and muzzled. Said muzzle must be made in a manner that will not cause injury to the dog or interfere with its vision or respiration, but must prevent it from biting any person or animal.

• Any animal found in violation of the confinement requirements after written notice declaring it vicious has been served to the owner, shall constitute a public nuisance and the animal control shelter is authorized to promptly impound said animal.

• Any person found in violation of the confinement requirements shall be given notice and brought into court within five (5) working days to answer to said violations. Failure to appear to answer said charges shall cause said animal to be promptly disposed of by euthanasia by the director or his/her designated agent without further notice to its owner who will be deemed to have abandoned the animal.

BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that this ordinance shall become effective immediately upon adoption.

BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that any ordinance or parts of any ordinance in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the provisions of this ordinance shall be included and incorporated in the Code of Ordinances as an addition or amendment thereto, and shall be appropriately renumbered to conform to the uniform numbering system of the Code.

THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on this, the 5^th day of July, 2001.

With respect to Recommendation No. 8 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore, Mr. Andrepont stated that most of the current jurors were not in office when the 1992 sales tax (for road improvements and solid waste management) was passed. He further stated that while the projects listed under Recommendation No. 8 were worthwhile projects, he felt it important that the source of funding being requested for these projects be looked at prior to voting on the recommendation.

Mr. Andrepont explained that the 1992 sales tax was levied and collected on a parishwide unincorporated area basis (excluding Ward One in which the tax failed) for road improvements. He further explained that the annual $1 million earmarked for the Road and Drainage Trust Fund (funded by revenues from the 1992 tax) was established by virtue of the renewal of the road and bridge ad valorem tax on July 16, 1994, which is levied and collected in and out of municipalities. He further explained that prior to the renewal, these tax revenues had been used only for parish projects, and no funds were distributed to the municipalities. Mr. Andrepont stated that questions had arisen as to why people who resided in the municipalities were paying taxes to the Police Jury for improvements outside of municipalities, so the Trust Fund was created to more fairly distribute a portion of the sales tax revenues for use within incorporated boundaries and to drainage districts which desperately needed additional funding

Mr. Andrepont stated that he could not support "siphoning" any of these funds in light of the original intent of the Trust Fund when it was created which stipulated that applicants for the funding must be a municipality or a political subdivision of the Parish. He further stated that to appropriate funding from the Trust Fund for anything other than the original intent of the program was wrong and while he did not have a problem with the specific projects as set forth in Recommendation No. 8 of the Public Works Committee, he could not support the proposed funding source. Mr. Andrepont pointed out that if the recommendation was approved, he felt it would send a message that the Police Jury could set policy and then violate that trust whenever it chose to do so.

Motion was then made by Mr. Andrepont and seconded by Mr. Breaux that the request be withdrawn and that Mr. Manuel and Mr. Clement (who had requested that the item be placed on the Public Works Committee agenda) meet with the staff and the Budget Committee to see if alternative funding could be found in next year's budget for the funding of the improvements.

Mr. Manuel stated that the citizens of Ward One paid taxes also, and the road he was proposing to pave (Paul Bellon Road) connected two large communities in the Moss Bluff area, but there was no funding available for this purpose. He further stated that in talking about fairness and where the money would come from, he saw nothing wrong with the request and would like to leave it on the agenda for consideration.

Mr. Clement stated that with reference to his portion of the funding requested under Recommendation No. 8 ($250,000 for the Walker Road Extension in Ward Four), he had checked with Mr. Smart to make sure, and it was his understanding that the funding was not guaranteed but each request was judged on its own merits and in relation to its rating on the point system. Mr. Clement further stated that it was his understanding that placing it on the agenda would be an effort to get it "in the hopper" but would not guarantee approval of the funding.

Mr. Andrepont stated that he did not think that either of the requests (included under Recommendation No. 8 of the Public Works Committee) should go before the Trust Fund Committee for approval, and he felt that approval of the requests would violate the trust of the people who voted for the renewal of the 1984 tax which created the Trust Fund.

Following a clarification of the motion on the floor, a roll call vote was taken thereon with the following results:

YEAS: Mr. Andrepont, Mrs. August, Mr. Breaux, Mr. Collins, Mr. Danahay, Mr. Derbonne, Mr. Kleckley, Mr. Landry, and Dr. Mackey

NAYS: Mr. Clement, Mr. Manuel, and Mrs. Treme

ABSENT: Mr. McMillin and Mr. Moon

NOT VOTING: President Griffin

Upon motion made by Mr. Andrepont, which was duly seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously, Recommendation No. 9 of the Public works Committee as outlined heretofore was approved.

It was moved by Mrs. August, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously to approve Recommendation No. 10 of the Public Works Committee.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. Treme and carried unanimously to adopt the following resolution:

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, notification has been received that an application for a Department of the Army Permit has been made to the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and an application for a Water Quality Certification (WQC) has been made to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality by Mark Andrepont to clear, grade and fill to develop a single-building commercial site. Approximately 550 cubic yards of onsite material and 1,100 cubic yards of hauled in material will be placed on a 0.66 acre tract. Approximately 0.35 acre of jurisdictional wetland will be impacted by the proposed project. Said project is located within Section 35, Township 9 South, Range 10 West, in Calcasieu Parish, in Sulphur, LA; and

WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal of Mark Andrepont 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, since the project is located within the city limits of the City of Sulphur.

NOW THEREFORE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, convened in regular session on the 5^th day of July, 2001, that it does hereby indicate no objection to the proposal of Mark Andrepont to clear, grade and fill to develop a single-building commercial site. Approximately 550 cubic yards of onsite material and 1,100 cubic yards of hauled in material will be placed on a 0.66 acre tract. Approximately 0.35 acre of jurisdictional wetland will be impacted by the proposed project. Said project is located within Section 35, Township 9 South, Range 10 West, in Calcasieu Parish, in Sulphur, LA.

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.

THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on the date above inscribed.

Prior to going into executive session, Mr. McMurry was asked by Mr. Derbonne to give an update on the status of improvements to Gulf Highway and its condition from the Petro Point entertainment complex to the Lake Charles Regional Airport. Mr. McMurry stated that Mr. Derbonne had voiced many questions and concerns regarding the deplorable condition of the road, and the staff had recently been told that the State was going to place in its next fiscal year's budget beginning July, 2002, funds in the amount of $180,000 to overlay it.

Mr. McMurry stated that many people felt that was entirely too long to wait due to the current condition of the road and the major impact this section of road played with respect to economic development in the Parish, since many people visiting the area travel it on their way from the airport into town. He further stated that while the State had appropriated approximately $3 million to re-route the utilities, it could be several years before the five-laning took place.

Mr. McMurry also stated that the staff's recommendation was to have a delegation from the Parish, which could include staff members and Mr. Derbonne, meet with the local legislative delegation to talk about working out an agreement with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development whereby the Parish could contract for and proceed with the overlaying of Gulf Highway (from the Petro Point entertainment complex to the Lake Charles Regional Airport) with the state reimbursing the Parish from the money that it was hoping to appropriate in 2002 for said purpose.

Mr. McMurry pointed out that the State planned to just overlay the existing road, but Mr. Smart felt that the road needed to be widened to 24 feet and then overlaid which would cost approximately $290,000, and the staff would like to introduce this idea to the State.

Mr. Kleckley stated that he often traveled down Gulf Highway and in no way could the condition of the road be considered a positive impact on the City and the Parish. He further stated that he felt Mr. McMurry's suggestion was a wise move and money well spent.

Motion was then made by Mr. Derbonne, seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously that the rules be suspended by a two-thirds majority vote to approve the staff's recommendation and that a delegation from the Parish, which could include staff members and Mr. Derbonne, meet with the local legislative delegation to talk about working out an agreement with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development whereby the Parish could contract for and proceed with the overlaying of Gulf Highway (from the Petro Point entertainment complex to the Lake Charles Regional Airport) with the state reimbursing the Parish from the money that it was hoping to appropriate in 2002 for said purpose.

It was moved by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Dr. Mackey and carried unanimously to suspend the rules by a two-thirds majority vote to go into executive session to discuss Lawsuit No. 2001-002757 (Chesson vs. Welke et al).

Following the executive session, the Police Jury reconvened in regular session, and motion was made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Landry and carried unanimously to suspend the rules by a two-thirds majority vote to approve the report given by legal counsel during executive session.

There being no further business, motion was made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously that the meeting be adjourned.
