PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, Mr. Steve Rinard, Meteorologist in Charge of the National Weather Service in Lake
Charles, has announced his retirement effective January 3, 2007; and
WHEREAS, during his lengthy tenure with the National Weather Service, Mr. Rinard’s
accomplishments included, but were not limited to, leading one of the first tsunami workshops on the
west coast, being instrumental in commissioning the new NWS radars that were deployed across the
United States in the early 1990's, and serving as Meteorologist in Charge of the Savannah, Georgia,
office for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games; and
WHEREAS, in 1997, Mr. Rinard became the new Meteorologist in Charge of the National
Weather Service office in Lake Charles and since that time, has seen the office through several major
upgrades, set up a program providing site specific forecasts for local hazardous material emergencies
and before Amber Alerts were implemented nationwide, helped to develop an abducted child warning
system called Save our Kids (SOK); and
WHEREAS, after Hurricane Rita in 2005, only one fatality was attributed to the storm, a
testimony to Mr. Rinard’s leadership in warning the public and leaders of the communities to take
protective actions before Rita’s storm surge and deadly winds occurred.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH,
LOUISIANA, in Regular Session convened on the 21st day of December, 2006, that Wednesday, January

Mr. Rinard credited the citizenry for the successful evacuation and minimal loss of life as a
result of Hurricane Rita, pointing out that if nobody had responded to the warnings issued by the
National Weather Service, the whole program would have been useless. Mr. Rinard also credited the
diverse and dedicated group of elected officials, OHSEP personnel, emergency responders, etc., and
stated that it had taken years of training to develop a successful response. In closing, Mr. Rinard stated
that the decision made “early on” by the public officials to start closing schools and canceling Friday
night football games, etc., had set the tone for a very successful evacuation.
Motion was made by Mr. Moon, seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously that the

14,000 cubic yards limestone aggregate and 3,000 cubic yards of soil cement as required to construct
access roads and expand a work/staging area for the storage of aggregate material, recycled asphalt

implementation would impact approximately 4.0 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Said project is located
approximately 12 acres on the north side of Haffer Road, near Lake Charles, in Calcasieu Parish,
Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal
of James 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

application is based solely on the evaluation of the parish staff of the project’s effect on current parish

Practices during the course of construction as set forth by EPA guidelines, and approvals are received

are obtained from the Calcasieu Parish Division of Planning and Development prior to commencement of
the project.

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.

President Danahay advised that a report would be received at this time from staff on efforts
to evaluate validity of issues and costs cited by the Lake Charles Regional Airport Authority and
Chennault International Airport Authority relative to consolidation of airport operations. Mr. McMurry
stated that both Lake Charles Regional and Chennault were separately working on reports that would
highlight and set forth the issues that would be involved if consolidation of those facilities was
considered, and to put some cost estimates on same. Mr. McMurry also stated that as a result of a
meeting put together by State Representative Chuck Kleckley, the reports had been submitted to his
(Mr. McMurry’s) office.
Mr. McMurry advised that he had then contacted officials with Wilbur Smith Associates, an
aviation consulting firm, and the firm had agreed to review those to determine whether the issues cited
in the reports were valid, and whether the associated estimates of cost were accurate and valid. He
pointed out that the firm had indicated that it should be able to produce a report thereon by mid-January, 2007.
Regarding discussions concerning consolidation of governance of the two boards, Mr. McMurry
recommended that a couple of members of each Authority, together with key staff, meet together with
him to look at the pros and cons of consolidated governance and to categorize those so that a report
could be prepared for the Police Jury to see if that was the avenue it wanted to pursue.
Mrs. Griffin asked how long the process described by Mr. McMurry would take, and he stated
that the first report could be ready by the Police Jury’s Committee Night in January of 2007, and the
second would take several months. He pointed out that some of the issues might be legislative in nature.
Upon motion made by Mr. Clement, which was duly seconded by Mr. McMillin and carried
unanimously, the following resolution was adopted:
