Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously that action on Recommendation No. 1 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore be deferred until the Regular Meeting on October 17, 2002.

It was moved by Mr. Breaux, seconded by Mr. Kleckley and carried unanimously to approve Recommendation No. 2 of the Public Works Committee.

Motion was made by Mr. Manuel and seconded by Mrs. Griffin to approve Recommendation No. 3 of the Public Works Committee as stated heretofore.

With reference to said recommendation, Mrs. August pointed out that at the Public Works Committee meeting, she had expressed her concern about Calcasieu Parish carrying the "brunt" of the 50% match, and she still felt that way, but that Mr. Smart had suggested that if the Office of Rural Development did award the grant, Jefferson Davis Parish could then be approached about the possibility of contributing a portion of the matching funds. Mrs. August stated, however, that if the grant was forthcoming and Calcasieu Parish paid the entire 50%, she was afraid that it might be perceived that Calcasieu was solely responsible for upkeep and repair of the bridge.

Mrs. August further stated that when the Police Jury was originally approached by the Lorrain Bridge Association to save the bridge, they had said it was for aesthetic reasons, because of the historical value of the bridge, etc. She advised that while she thought those were good incentives, the bridge did not serve a major thoroughfare, it would not be a hardship that would cause drivers to go out of their way, and it was not a major evacuation route, and these were things that would have persuaded her to agree to putting up the 50% matching funds.

Mrs. August pointed out that she was not being "mean-spirited or miserly", but she had a need in her district that had not been addressed, and she viewed the Lorrain Bridge issue as a "wish" and not a "need".

Mr. McMurry explained that at any time after the application process, the Police Jury could ask for participation in funding from the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury, either up-front or in installments, and if they did not choose to participate, the Police Jury could refuse the grant. He further explained that what was actually needed was a ratification of the President's signature on the grant application, since the deadline for turning in the application had been the previous Tuesday, October 8, 2002. Mr. McMurry stated that Jefferson Davis Parish could certainly be asked to participate in the funding of the 50% match, but there had just not been sufficient time to ask them prior to the deadline.

Mr. Manuel amended his original motion, and Mrs. Griffin who seconded the original motion concurred with the amendment, that the President's signature on the grant application, be ratified.

President Derbonne asked what the chances were of getting the funding, to which Mr. McMurry responded that from news accounts about this issue, it was his understanding that the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury did not have the funds to allocate to the Lorrain Bridge, but he did not know whether that situation might be different now when considering a smaller matching amount.

Mr. Breaux stated that he was tired of reading in the newspaper that Calcasieu Parish owned the Lorrain Bridge which he said was not true. He further stated that he had been working with Mr. Smart and Mr. McMurry since 1992 to try and get something done with this bridge, and he did not think it was fair to the taxpayers of Calcasieu Parish to have to bear the entire 50% match. Mr. Breaux also stated that he realized the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury was short of funds, but they should pay 25% of the 50% match because their residents used the bridge too.

In further response to President Derbonne's previous question, Mr. McMurry advised that the chances of obtaining the grant were "pretty slim" because of some of the criteria, but they felt they owed it to the people who wanted the bridge to submit the application.

Mr. Andrepont stated that he was not familiar with where the Parish boundary line was, but that if it ran down the middle of Lorrain Bayou, the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury would own one-half. Mr. Andrepont suggested that if Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury did not want to participate in funding, that the bridge be made into a toll bridge. He stated that he thought the chances of getting the grant funding from the State were "nil" but he felt the Police Jury should cover its bases just in case.

Mr. Manuel suggested that an addendum be added to the resolution on the floor to provide that if Calcasieu was successful in getting the grant, the funds would only be accepted if Jefferson Davis participated.

Mr. McMurry asked that Mr. Manuel's suggestion be a separate resolution so that the original resolution to ratify the President's signature on the grant application could continue through the application process, and the separate resolution would ensure that before the grant was accepted, the participation of the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury would be verified. With regard to Mr. Andrepont's suggestion regarding a toll bridge, Mr. McMurry advised that the Police Jury could probably do that, but there would be insufficient traffic to generate much money.

Mr. Smart pointed out that the staff had previously recommended that the old bridge be torn out but that the Police Jury had taken action to not tear the bridge down, after which the staff had then met with the Lorrain Bridge Association which had been formed to try and raise money for Jefferson Davis Parish's share of the costs. Mr. Smart advised that the Association had been told by Mr. Breaux that if they raised the money, the Police Jury would contribute its share, but that if the Police Jury wanted to now ask both the Lorrain Bridge Association and Jefferson Davis Parish to contribute, he would recommend that the jurors at least go ahead with the grant application at this time and then try to make arrangements with the Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury.

Following a brief discussion, a vote was taken on the motion on the floor which was to approve Recommendation No. 3 of the Public Works Committee as outlined heretofore and to adopt a resolution authorizing/ratifying the submittal of an application by the Division of Engineering and Public Works for funding in the amount of $133,760 from the Governor's Officer of Rural Development for the repair of the Lorrain Bridge, and further, to ratify the execution of the grant application by the President of the Police Jury. The vote on the motion carried unanimously, and the following resolution was adopted:

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the Lorrain Bridge spanning Calcasieu Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish dates back to the early part of the Twentieth Century and has been well known as a favored tourist attraction for photography and painting enthusiasts; and

WHEREAS, the Lorrain Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic on March 2, 1998, due to weak pilings and unsafe conditions, and this closure now requires a vehicle to detour 25 miles to get from one side of the bayou to the other; and

WHEREAS, in addition to its historical value, beauty, and peacefulness, many people used the bridge, before it was closed to traffic, to travel to and from the communities of Thornwell, Welsh, Jennings, Lacassine, Hayes, Bell City, Holmwood, and Lake Charles; and

WHEREAS, the Lorrain Bridge is essential to the continued farming interests and economic development in the area of said bridge in both Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis parishes; and

WHEREAS, since its closure, discussions and efforts have been made by the Police Jury, other area political representatives, and the Lorrain Bridge Association, a civic group interested in restoration of the bridge, to rebuild and/or repair the bridge.

NOW, THEREFORE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, in regular session convened on the 10^th day of October, 2002, that it does hereby fully support the submittal of an application for grant funding in the amount of $133,760 from the Governor's Office of Rural Development, Parish Bridge Repair Program, for the repair of the Lorrain Bridge and does hereby ratify the submittal of said application by the Division of Engineering and Public Works.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the execution by the President of the Police Jury of the "Local Agency Assurances" agreement required by the Governor's Office of Rural Development, Parish Bridge Repair Program, as part of the application process is hereby ratified.

THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on the date above inscribed.

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

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

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, an application for grant funding in the amount of $133,760 from the Governor's Office of Rural Development, Parish Bridge Repair Program, for the repair of the Lorrain Bridge has been submitted by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury; and

WHEREAS, it is estimated that the total cost to repair the bridge would be $334,000, with projected funding of the estimated cost to be 40% from the State, 50% from the Parish, and 10% from the Lorrain Bridge Association; and

WHEREAS, since this bridge spans and is the property of both Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis parishes, and because the repair of same would benefit the residents of both parishes, it is the belief of this Police Jury that the responsibility for payment of the 50% local parish match should be borne equally by both parishes.

NOW, THEREFORE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, in regular session convened on the 10^th day of October, 2002, that if the application for grant funding from the Governor's Office of Rural Development, Parish Bridge Repair Program, is approved, the grant will be accepted by the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury only in the event that an arrangement with Jefferson Davis Parish Police Jury is made whereby the 50% match for the grant is shared equally between said parishes.

THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on the date above inscribed.

Upon motion made by Mr. Manuel, which was duly seconded by Mr. McMillin and carried unanimously, Recommendation Nos. 4, 5 and 6 of the Public Works Committee were approved; whereupon, the following resolutions were adopted:

RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, this section of State Highway 378 is regionally significant in that it is part of a north loop around the urbanized areas of the City of Lake Charles and, along with U.S. Highway 171, provides access to the areas north of Lake Charles and Westlake; and

WHEREAS, this north loop also provides a means of evacuation in the event of a natural and/or industrial disaster, particularly in the event the bridge over Interstate 10 is impassable; and
