Lake Charles, Louisiana

The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, said meeting having originally been scheduled for October 6, 2005, in the Police Jury Meeting Room of the Parish Government Building, 1015 Pithon Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, with The Honorable Hal McMillin, President, presiding, and the following members present:

Mesdames Elizabeth Conway Griffin, and Sandra J. Treme; and Messrs. Francis Andrepont, Brent Clement, Calvin Collins, Mike Danahay, Kevin Guidry, Tony Guillory, Chris Landry, Charles S. Mackey, D.D.S., Don Manuel, Cornie Moon, and Tony Stelly

Absent: Mrs. Mary Kaye Eason (out of town)

Also present were Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Parish Administrator; Mr. Bryan Beam, Assistant Parish Administrator; Mrs. Coleen Clark, Executive Secretary; Mr. Richard Gremillion, Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security; Mrs. Cheryl Heisser, Director of Human Resources; Mr. Jerry Milner, Director of Finance; Mr. Claude D. Smart, Parish Engineer; Mr. Allen L. Smith, Jr. of the firm of Plauche, Smith and Nieset, General Counsel; Ms. Kathy P. Smith, Recording Secretary; Mr. Jim Vickers, Director of Planning and Development; Mr. Gerry Trahan, Director of Facilities Management; and Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Engineer.

President McMillin called the meeting to order. The invocation was pronounced by Mr. Collins which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The roll was called with the result being as outlined above.

President McMillin 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.

President McMillin expressed his appreciation to everyone in Calcasieu Parish and the entire United States for cooperation and assistance during the recent time of peril caused by Hurricane Rita which hit Calcasieu Parish in the early morning hours of September 24, 2005. He stated that it had been an opportunity for growth, and he felt the area would be even stronger and better than before, once it recovered from the storm.

President McMillin then asked for an update on the status of household garbage collection from Mr. Frank LaBarbera, Regional Director for Waste Management of Lake Charles.

Mr. LaBarbera appeared before the Police Jury and expressed his appreciation for the patience of the Police Jury and public during the aftermath of the hurricane. Mr. LaBarbera explained that Waste Management, unlike Entergy or the other utility companies, was not able to get on the roads the day after the storm and had to wait for approval to do so which had occurred approximately three weeks later; therefore, during this interim period, Waste Management placed dumpsters in strategic locations where people could dispose of their waste from refrigerators and freezers.

Mr. LaBarbera stated that as was true with other businesses, many employees of his company had not yet returned to work. He pointed out that Waste Management had moved trailers onto their property to house employees, and they were supposed to have 13 more employees back in the coming week.

Mr. LaBarbera reported that Waste Management had started its pickup routes in Calcasieu Parish on Monday, October 10, 2005, picking up household waste only. As an example of the volume being picked up, he advised that on a Monday, Waste Management normally averaged 425 tons of waste hauled to the landfill; however, on October 10^th, they had picked up 1,175 tons, or about triple their normal amount which meant it was taking them approximately two days to pick up a route that normally took one day. Mr. LaBarbera further explained that there was a lot of liquid and water in refrigerated waste, and his company was required to abide by local and state laws governing load limits.

Mr. LaBarbera further reported that contrary to their normal schedule, Waste Management would be working on Saturdays until the crisis situation was over and the normal daily schedule could be resumed which he anticipated would take approximately three weeks to accomplish. Mr. LaBarbera pointed out that it could happen sooner if his company could get more employees.

Mr. Clement asked if there was a contingency plan, pointing out that some people would not want to wait two weeks to get their trash picked up and would dump it along the road sides.

Mr. McMurry pointed out that he did not think people would have to wait two weeks, that Waste Management was a few days behind their normal schedule. He stated that it could be one and one-half weeks between pickups (instead of the normal week), and that the biggest loads would be during the current week and the following week.

Mr. Clement asked if Waste Management could get extra trucks into the area to help out, and Mr. LaBarbera advised that he had done that, but Hurricane Katrina (which hit New Orleans, Mississippi, and Alabama approximately three weeks prior to Hurricane Rita) had taken a lot of Waste Management’s resources. Mr. LaBarbera pointed out that Waste Management was very active in Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana, and their resources had been “squeezed”. He assured the jurors that his company was doing everything it possibly could and pointed out that hiring extra trucks created all kinds of safety issues that were not worth getting in harm’s way over. Mr. LaBarbera also assured the jurors that every community which went through a storm such as Hurricane Rita had the same kinds of problems, and all he could do was ask for the public’s patience.

In answer to a question by Mrs. Treme, Ms. Beverly Gilchrist of Waste Management advised that a roll-off container (dumpster) was located in Vinton, and the residents of Starks were welcome to use that one or the one located at the Vinton City Hall for household waste only.

Mr. Stelly asked if Ward Two could get a roll-off container, and Ms. Gilchrist stated that garbage would be picked up in Bell City and LeBleu Settlement the following day (October 12^th) and that Waste Management would finish each area before moving to the next.

President McMillin recognized Mr. Manuel, Chairman of the Communications and Emergency Response Committee, for a point of personal privilege. Mr. Manuel complimented the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Mr. Gremillion, the Director of said office, for the fantastic job they had done during the storm. Mr. Manuel stated that President McMillin had been “in his element”, and he appreciated his many efforts also.

President McMillin stated that the Police Jury would at this time take action on items for the September 22, 2005, Regular Meeting which was cancelled due to the mandatory evacuation order which was issued as a result of the expected landfall of Hurricane Rita.

Motion was made by Mrs. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Moon and carried unanimously that the staff be authorized to readvertise for bids for 2004/2005 CDBG Mossville Sewer Extensions, and to readvertise for Mossville Sewer Pump Stations. (The opening of bids for these two projects was initially postponed until September 29, 2005, due to the fact that an addendum had been issued within 72 hours of the scheduled September 22^nd bid opening, however, the September 29^th meeting had also been cancelled because of Hurricane Rita.)

It was moved by Dr. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously to accept the recommendation of the Project Architect and to authorize the staff to readvertise for bids for the furnishing of all labor and materials for the EIFS and Masonry Cleaning, Repair, Refinishing, and Waterproofing of Central Library located at West Claude and Ernest Streets in Lake Charles. (The bid opening on September 22^nd was cancelled due to the fact that no bid packages were picked up by any prospective contractor/bidder.)

Upon motion made by Mr. Moon, which was duly seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously, action was deferred until the Regular Meeting on November 3, 2005, whereby the Police Jury would sit as a Board of Review at 6:00 p.m. to hear any protests on current tax assessments and take action accordingly. (The review period began on September 9, 2005, and ended on September 15, 2005, in the Calcasieu Parish Tax Assessor’s Office. Because of the cancellation of the September 22, 2005, Regular Meeting of the Police Jury due to Hurricane Rita, the Parish Tax Assessor had to re-advertise to provide notice of the hearing at a later date on November 3, 2005.)

Motion was made by Mr. Stelly, seconded by Dr. Mackey and carried unanimously that presentation of a Resolution in Memoriam to the family of the late Cpl. Richard Schoener, a resident of Bell City who served his country in Afghanistan, be deferred until the Regular Meeting on October 20, 2005.

It was moved by Mr. Manuel, seconded by Mr. Stelly and carried unanimously that presentation of Certificates of Recognition to the members, manager, and coaches of the Moss Bluff American Dixie Youth Team for winning the South Regional Championship and the State Championship, be deferred until the Regular Meeting on October 20, 2005.

President McMillin stated that a report would be received at this time from the staff with reference to litter prevention and education. Mr. David Robinson of the Division of Planning and Development appeared before the Police Jury and announced that Calcasieu Parish had recently been selected by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality as having the top litter abatement program in the State. He showed the plaque that was presented to the Parish in recognition of this honor and expressed his appreciation to Ms. Dana Guidry of the Division of Planning and Development for her assistance in this regard.

Mr. Robinson stated that some of the things the staff had done to earn the award included the following: adopted a new litter slogan, “Take Pride Parishwide”, partnered with the area 4-H Clubs, purchased materials to promote anti-litter campaigns on school campuses, aired public service announcements on C-Gov and other cable networks, placed anti-litter billboards in different areas of the Parish, and distributed boaters’ litter bags in partnership with the Louisiana State University Sea Grant Program. Mr. Robinson stated that he and Ms. Guidry also had a anti-litter booth which focused on construction debris and proper disposal at the recent Louisiana Home Show Exposition at the Lake Charles Civic Center.

Mr. Robinson pointed out that the Police Jury had helped by raising the fines for littering in January of 2005. He advised that he was aware of no other parish in the State which had done more than Calcasieu had as far as litter abatement and prevention. Mr. Robinson further advised that they had seen a decrease in the number of citations issued for littering.

President McMillin advised that a report would be received at this time from Mr. Allen Smith, Jr., General Counsel to the Police Jury, with reference to alcohol sales in Ward One.

Mr. Smith advised that the Louisiana Supreme Court had ruled that because of some 1997 legislation whereby parochial officers in parishes were now being elected from election districts and not from wards, that the election districts were the proper boundaries for calling local option elections – not wards. Mr. Smith pointed out that his legal opinion had addressed the question of what happened to two small pieces of Ward One that were reapportioned into Police Jury election Districts 2 and 11, and his answer was that under the Supreme Court decision which stated that when portions of wards were incorporated into other election districts, they took on the sales characteristics of those election districts, thus the portions of Ward One that were reapportioned into Police Jury Districts 2 and 11 were “wet” (authorized to sell liquor), due to the fact that Districts 2 and 11 were “wet”.

Mr. Smith further advised that as far as the remainder of Ward One, it was very clear from the Supreme Court decision, backed up by an Attorney General’s opinion, that all of Ward One which was currently comprised of Police Jury election Districts 1, 2 and 11, was considered “wet” until such time as a local option election was held.

Mr. Manuel stated that he had known about this before Hurricane Rita struck, and he had met with all the pastors in Ward One, so they were also aware of the situation. Mr. Manuel further stated that he had obtained information on how to call an election and as soon as the residents of Ward One were back from evacuations and things settled down, he would call a meeting and would like Mr. Smith and some of the staff there; however, in the meantime, he would like a moratorium on the sale of alcohol in Ward One until a decision was made as to what the local community wanted to do.

Mr. Smith stated that until a local option election was held, no one could have a moratorium or declare that sales of alcohol would not take place.

Mr. Manuel pointed out that if there was no moratorium, and the sale of alcohol was later denied in a local option election, someone might spend a lot of money to build a lounge or whatever and questioned what would happen in such an instance.

Mr. Smith stated that the sale of alcohol was now legal in Ward One and that there was a provision in the law that any package house in existence and operating as such on August 15, 1995, in an area that was subsequently annexed into an election district that prohibited the sale of alcohol would be allowed to continue operation. Mr. Smith further stated that while this did not address Mr. Manuel’s question completely, he would guess that on the authority of the grandfather clause which was put in when the law was changed, that it would probably be grand fathered if somebody “set up shop” at this time (prior to an election).

President McMillin stated that action was scheduled to be taken at 6:00 p.m. but that the Police Jury would complete its debate on this issue prior to such action being taken.

Mr. Manuel stated that he would need to set up his public meeting a lot sooner than he thought.

Motion was made by Mrs. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously to receive the report given by Mr. Allen L. Smith, Jr., General Counsel to the Police Jury, with reference to alcohol sales in Ward One.

The hour being 6:00 p.m., President McMillin advised that a public hearing would be held at this time, as advertised in accordance with law, in accordance with Article II-Chapter Six of the Code of Ordinances of the Parish of Calcasieu, Louisiana, requesting authorization to immediately condemn the following structures due to said structures being in danger of collapse and constituting a menace to public safety:

Mrs. Treme noted that the pictures of these properties were taken prior to Hurricane Rita and asked if the staff had been back to look at them since the storm. Mr. Crain stated that they had all survived the hurricane.

President McMillin asked if there was anyone present in the audience to discuss the structure located at 541 Apache Road in the Moss Bluff area and hearing no comments, motion was made by Mr. Manuel, seconded by Mrs. Griffin and carried unanimously that the staff’s recommendation be approved and that the following ordinance be adopted:

President McMillin advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ03-026-05 which was a request by Lake Woodland Partners, L.P. to rezone from I-1 (Light Industrial) to R-1 (Single Family Residential) to allow a residential subdivision (houses) off of Goodman Road in Ward Three, Police Jury District 2 (Mr. Collins’ district). President McMillin further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, September 20, 2005, and voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted.

President McMillin advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ04-027-05 which was a request by Darrell L. Jones to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow manufacturing of marble at 1106 Kim Street in Ward Four, Police Jury District 13 (Mr. Andrepont’s district). President McMillin further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, September 20, 2005, and voted ten (against) and one (for) to recommend that the request be denied, and further, that should the Police Jury vote to grant the request, the Board recommended the following stipulations: (1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; (2) that an occupational license must be obtained within five days of zoning approval; and (3) that the dumpster, storage, and drying of materials must be stored in a containment area enclosed with a six-foot (6') wooden fence within fifteen (15) days of zoning approval.

It was moved by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and to deny the request to rezone with respect to RZ04-027-05.

Motion was made by Mr. Landry and seconded by Mrs. Griffin that the Code of Ordinances of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, be amended with reference to the subdivision regulations. (It was noted that the Planning and Zoning Board, at its meeting on September 20, 2005, had voted unanimously to recommend that the Code be amended.)

Mr. Manuel asked if these amendments would provide that a subdivision would consist of two or more structures. Ms. Jennifer Wallace of the Division of Planning and Development stated that the ordinance pertained to divisions of land, not the number of structures. She noted that the amendments provided a revised definition of “subdivision” whereby someone would be allowed to divide one parcel into two lots without having to come before the staff, Planning and Zoning Board, and Police Jury for approval.

Mr. Stelly asked if the amendments changed the width of right-of-way required for roads, and Ms. Wallace answered that the amendments reflected a compromise which had been reached between the developers and the staff for a 60' right-of-way.

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