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 Citgo Petroleum Corporation to install 1,180 linear feet of steel sheetpile bulkhead as required to replace an existing deteriorated bulkhead. The new structure shall be located parallel to the existing bulkhead the outer edge to extend 6-feet channelward therefrom. Approximately 2,800 cubic yards of hauled-in earthen material would be placed as fill behind the newly constructed bulkhead followed by a concrete cap. Said project is located on the right descending bank of the Calcasieu River at 1044 Highway 108, Lake Charles, in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana; and

            WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal of Citgo Petroleum Corporation 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 September, 2006, that it does hereby indicate no objection to the proposal of Citgo Petroleum Corporation to install 1,180 linear feet of steel sheetpile bulkhead as required to replace an existing deteriorated bulkhead. The new structure shall be located parallel to the existing bulkhead the outer edge to extend 6-feet channelward therefrom. Approximately 2,800 cubic yards of hauled-in earthen material would be placed as fill behind the newly constructed bulkhead followed by a concrete cap. Said project is located on the right descending bank of the Calcasieu River at 1044 Highway 108, Lake Charles, 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.

            With regard to the foregoing resolution, Mrs. Treme pointed out that the Public Trust Authority’s program was no longer just for first-time home buyers and that the income limits and purchase price amounts had been raised. She stated that this program offered a good interest rate to the home buyer, as well as a grant in the amount of 4% of the purchase price for assistance with down payment and closing costs. Mrs. Treme advised that this was an excellent program for homeowners who had been dislocated because of the hurricane.

            In answer to a question by Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Treme stated that if interested, citizens could contact a participating lender for more details.

            The hour being 6:00, President Danahay stated that the Police Jury would sit as a Board of Review at this time, as advertised in accordance with law for action to be taken at 6:00 p.m., to hear any protests on current tax assessments, and appropriate action would be taken thereon. He further advised that the review period began September 8, 2006, and ended on September 14, 2006, in the Calcasieu Parish Tax Assessor’s Office.

            Mr. McMurry stated that at this time each year, tax rolls were prepared and notices sent out. He advised that State law provided an opportunity for taxpayers to voice protests against their assessments to the Police Jury as the Board of Review. Mr. McMurry stated that a rather extensive protest was received from Tennessee Gas Pipeline (TGP) and that Mr. Richard Cole, Calcasieu Parish Assessor, had done an excellent job in trying to find the “fairness quotient” in this matter.

            Mr. Cole then appeared before the Police Jury and explained that the TGP protest was an ongoing pipeline dispute which started in other parishes in the State in 1994 and in Calcasieu Parish in 2002. Mr. Cole pointed out that the dispute had gone through the 19^th Judicial District Court system, as well as the Court of Appeals, the latter of which had directed that the assessment be recalculated which in turn resulted in a much higher tax assessment for TGP than what they had been charged by the Louisiana Tax Commission.

             Mr. Cole gave a brief explanation of the method for computing assessments which was used by the Louisiana Tax Commission for interstate pipelines (unit method by amount of gas going through the pipeline), as well as the method used by the parish assessors in computing assessments for intrastate pipelines (based on diameter and miles of pipe). He stated that TGP was asking for an assessment in the amount of $900,000 which was much lower than the approximate $1.3 million that was authorized to be assessed.

            Mr. Cole asked that the Police Jury concur with the assessment of the Calcasieu Parish Assessor’s Office with respect to assessment numbers 0947210, 0947164, 0947202, 0947172, 0747688 and 0749486 for tax years 2000 through 2003, both inclusive, as determined by the Parish Assessor, said proposed values being as follows: 2000 – $1,339,655; 2001 – $1,336,299; 2002 – $1,377,829; and 2003 – $1,320,376.

            It was moved by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Landry and carried unanimously to adopt the following resolution:

RESOLUTION

            BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, convened in Regular Session on the 21^st day of September, 2006, that it does hereby acknowledge that sitting as a Board of Review on this 21^st day of September, 2006, at the appointed hour of 6:00 p.m., to receive protests from taxpayers in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, on assessments on the current tax rolls, a written objection was received from Tennessee Gas Pipeline with respect to assessment numbers 0947210, 0947164, 0947202, 0947172, 0747688 and 0749486 for tax years 2000 through 2003, both inclusive, as determined by the Parish Assessor, said proposed values being as follows: 2000 – $1,339,655; 2001 – $1,336,299; 2002 – $1,377,829; and 2003 – $1,320,376.

            BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury, sitting as a Board of Review, did concur with the assessments previously determined by the Parish Assessor with respect to the foregoing objection and does hereby refer said objection to the Louisiana Tax Commission.

            BE IT FURTHER AND FINALLY RESOLVED that the aforementioned objection as outlined heretofore is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

            THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on the date above inscribed.

* * * * * * * * * * *

            Mr. Cole stated that Calcasieu Parish should be proud of the fact that it would surpass the $1 billion taxable rate this year. He explained that oil inventory and casino business were both at all-time highs which had in large part made this possible. Mr. Cole stated that new building and new home construction were also at a high level and that most taxing districts would receive an increase in tax revenues this year.

            Mr. McMillin commended Mr. Cole not only for doing an exceptional job as Calcasieu Parish Tax Assessor but for his many contributions to the community as well.

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

            A meeting of the Budget Committee was held at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, September 21, 2006, in the Police Jury Meeting Room of the Parish Government Building, 1015 Pithon Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, with Mr. Brent Clement, Chairman, presiding and the following members present:

            Motion was made by Dr. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously that in accordance with the recommendation of the Project Architect, that the low bid, including Alternate Bid Numbers 1 and 2, in the total amount of $267,000.00 of Morgan Roofing Company, Inc. be accepted for 2006 Roofing Replacement at the Calcasieu Judicial Center, the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse, and the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s Office, bids for which were received by the Police Jury on September 7, 2006, and further, that the President of the Police Jury be authorized to execute the contract documents and any amendments or modifications thereto in conjunction with said project.

            It was moved by Mr. McMillin, seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously to accept the low bid, including Alternate Bid Numbers 1, 2 and 3, in the total amount of $259,100.00 of John D. Myers and Associates, Inc., in accordance with the recommendation of the Project Architect, for 2006 Repairs and Upgrades to the Office of Juvenile Justice Services located at 3615 East Prien Lake Road, Lake Charles, bids for which were received by the Police Jury on September 7, 2006, and further, to authorize the President of the Police Jury to execute the contract documents and any amendments or modifications thereto in conjunction with said project.

            Motion was made by Mrs. Treme and seconded by Mr. Brame to defer action until the Police Jury’s regular meeting on October 5, 2006, on proposals received by the Parish Purchasing Agent on September 8, 2006, for shelter management software for use by the Animal Services Department.

            In answer to a question by Mrs. Griffin, Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Operations Director, advised that this software would cost approximately $50,000 which was covered by a grant the Parish had already received and was used to track all animals that came into the Animal Shelter.

            Mrs. Treme asked for a brief report on the process that was used during the hurricane for animal recovery and the difference in how that went with large animals and small animals. Mr. Wainwright explained that during the hurricane, a lot of animals had been left behind for different reasons, and the task at that point became one of reuniting the owner with their animal(s). He pointed out that with most cats and dogs, all they had to work with was a current rabies tag, if the animal had one, however, under State law all horses were required to be micro-chipped. Mr. Wainwright advised that this was not an expensive process and that in the New Orleans area (after Hurricane Katrina), they experienced 100% recovery because of the micro-chips.

            Mr. Wainwright stated that the staff was working with the Animal Services Advisory Committee and one thing that might be presented in the future to the Police Jury was a proposal to require every animal to be micro-chipped. He further stated that at least initially, it appeared that the advantages of this requirement outweighed the disadvantages, particularly in recovery after a storm, and that technology would make it easier to reunite animals with their owners.

            A vote taken on the motion on the floor carried unanimously.

            Upon motion made by Mr. Collins, which was duly seconded by Mrs. Treme and carried unanimously, the bid of Bolton Ford, Inc., in the amount of $21,118.00 was accepted for purchase of one (1) new 2007 one-half ton extended cab pickup truck for use by the Division of Finance, bids for which were received by the Parish Purchasing Agent on September 18, 2006.

            It was moved by Mr. Manuel, seconded by Mr. Brame and carried unanimously to authorize the Parish Administrator to advertise for bids for Calcasieu Parish Project No. 2006-12 (Hardsurfacing of Various Roads in Calcasieu Parish).

            Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously that the Parish Purchasing Agent be authorized to advertise for bids for purchase of one (1) 2007 one-ton single cab, V-8 diesel pick-up truck with a hide-away goose neck hitch, and for one (1) 2007 half-ton, four-door, extended cab pick-up truck with a utility bed, both for use by the Facility Management Department.

            Mr. Moon was granted a point of personal privilege to announce that the Workforce Center on Fifth Avenue in Lake Charles would hold a job fair for military veterans on Thursday, October 5, 2006, from 9:00 a.m. until noon. Mrs. Griffin asked that this be broadcast on C-Gov.

            Upon motion made by Mrs. Griffin, which was duly seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously, the rules were suspended by a two-thirds majority vote to adopt the following resolution:

RESOLUTION

            BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, in Regular Session convened on the 21^st day of September, 2006, that it does hereby waive any and all surface rights held by the Parish of Calcasieu on property owned by CPS Properties, LLC, where the Parish of Calcasieu owns a mineral interest, said property being described as:

            BE IT FURTHER AND FINALLY RESOLVED that the President of the Police Jury, or his designee, when appropriate, is authorized to execute all documents related thereto.

            THUS DONE AND PASSED on the date above inscribed.
