President Clement called the meeting to order. The invocation was pronounced by Pastor Norman Thomas of New Life Family Worship Center in Lake Charles, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mr. Guidry. The roll was called with the result being as outlined above.

President Clement welcomed everyone in attendance and asked those who would like to address the Police Jury to fill out a “Request to Appear” form and submit it to the staff. He also asked that all cellular telephones and pagers be turned off or set on a suitable mode so they would not interrupt the meeting.

Louisiana Senator Don Cravins, appeared before the Police Jury with reference to his candidacy for the U. S. Congress, 7^th District. He was introduced by Mr. Guillory who pointed out that Senator Cravins was related to both he and Louisiana Representative Elcie Guillory.

Senator Cravins applauded the Police Jury for its beautifully-renovated facility which he had toured prior to the meeting. He stated he had served in the Senate for the past 13 years and that what Louisiana needed was effective leadership in Washington – someone who would fight for Louisiana and give it the resources to meet the infrastructure demands it had.

Senator Cravins stated when he was first elected to represent St. Landry Parish, it was one of the poorest parishes in the State but now it was one of the fastest growing. He further stated that education, economic development and health care all needed to be addressed, and he pointed out that he had helped establish a program to provide free medication to persons needing affordable pharmaceutical care in St. Landry and Evangeline parishes.

Senator Cravins closed by saying he hoped everyone would take a look at his record, his past accomplishments, leadership, and what he stood for, and vote for him in the upcoming election.

President Clement stated that Louisiana Senator Willie Mount would at this time address the Police Jury with regard to her candidacy for the U. S. Congress, 7^th District. She appeared before the Police Jury and offered effective leadership and new energy, as well as the ability to bring people together to get things done.

Senator Mount advised that she had served six years as Mayor of the City of Lake Charles and during that time had dealt with unfunded mandates, EPA issues concerning federal highway infrastructure, water and sewer systems, dogs howling in the middle of the night, and she understood the needs of real people and local government.

Senator Mount also advised that she was serving her fifth year as a Louisiana Senator and was Chairman of the Revenue and Affairs Committee, working together with 38 other senators across the State with different views in order to reach a consensus for what was best for this area and the State.

Senator Mount offered a willingness to fight for the area and to work hard and stated she was very committed to southwest Louisiana and loved public service. She commended the Police Jury for an excellent job in promoting the diversity of the area’s economic base and stated that was why the Parish was successful in its endeavors, because it knew how to work together in efforts of which she had been part of the team. Senator Mount closed by saying there were issues to be addressed such as health care and education, and she asked for the jurors’ vote in the upcoming election.

With reference to an item on the agenda to present a plaque to Mr. Ray McClelland in recognition and appreciation of approximately 25 years of service as Fire Chief of Ward Seven Fire Protection District No. One, President Clement advised that Mr. McClelland was unable to attend the meeting on this date but that a function was being planned for him later in the month which he would attend and would present the plaque to Mr. McClelland at that time.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mr. McMillin and carried unanimously that the rules be suspended by a two-thirds majority vote to present a plaque to Mr. George Tuttle in recognition and appreciation of 32 years of service as a member of the Board of Commissioners of West Calcasieu Port, Harbor and Terminal District.

Mr. Andrepont asked Mrs. Griffin, Mr. McMillin, President Clement, and Mr. Danahay to join him in presenting the plaque to Mr. Tuttle. Mr. Andrepont stated that Mr. Tuttle had served unselfishly and that he had the privilege of working with Mr. Tuttle as liaison to the West Calcasieu Port, Harbor and Terminal District. Mrs. Griffin, Mr. McMillin, Mr. Danahay, and President Clement also expressed their appreciation for his years of service.

Mr. Tuttle stated that he had enjoyed his service on the Board of Commissioners and offered his assistance in the future should the Police Jury need it.

President Clement advised that presentation of the following 2005 Trust Fund Awards from the Calcasieu Parish Road and Drainage Trust Fund would be made at this time, and he recognized Mayor Randy Roach of the City of Lake Charles, Mayor Ron Leleux of the City of Sulphur, and Mayor Dudley Dixon of the City of Westlake, all of whom would be accepting the awards on behalf of their municipalities:

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 by Westport Oil & Gas Company, L.P. to modify Department of the Army Permit 23437 by adding additional fill and structures to the original authorization in order to drill two additional wells from the previously authorized slip location. The original permit authorized one 10-foot by 20-foot wellhead protector for the E.W. Brown, Jr. No. 1 Well and 1,011 cubic yards of shell material to construct a 200-foot by 60-foot shell pad for the marine drilling barge. The applicant proposes an additional two 10-foot by 20-foot wellhead protectors for the E.W. Brown, Jr. Nos. 2 & 3 Wells. Said project is located in a borrow ditch off the Sabine River, in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana; and

WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal of Westport Oil & Gas Company, L.P. 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 all necessary permits are 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 21^st day of October, 2004, that it does hereby indicate no objection to the proposal of Westport Oil & Gas Company, L.P. to modify Department of the Army Permit 23437 by adding additional fill and structures to the original authorization in order to drill two additional wells from the previously authorized slip location. The original permit authorized one 10-foot by 20-foot wellhead protector for the E.W. Brown, Jr. No. 1 Well and 1,011 cubic yards of shell material to construct a 200-foot by 60-foot shell pad for the marine drilling barge. The applicant proposes an additional two 10-foot by 20-foot wellhead protectors for the E.W. Brown, Jr. Nos. 2 & 3 Wells. Said project is located in a borrow ditch off the Sabine River, in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.

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, provided said work meets with the rules and regulations of the Corps of Engineers and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, subject to Best Management Practices during the course of construction as set forth by EPA guidelines, and approvals are received from all appropriate state and federal agencies, and further, that all necessary development permits are obtained from the Calcasieu Parish Division of Planning and Development prior to commencement of the project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a study on the environmental impact of the aforementioned project has not been made due to 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.
