The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 18, 2007, in the Police Jury Meeting Room of the Parish Government Building, 1015 Pithon Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, with The Honorable Chris E. Landry, President, presiding, and the following members present:

Mesdames Elizabeth Conway Griffin and Sandra J. “Sandy” Treme; and Messrs. Francis Andrepont, Guy Brame, Brent Clement, Calvin Collins, Michael E. Danahay, Kevin Guidry, Tony Guillory, Charles S. Mackey, D.D.S., Don Manuel, Hal McMillin, and Tony Stelly

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 Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness; Mrs. Cheryl Heisser, Director of Human Resources; Mr. Jerry Milner, Director of Finance; Mr. Claude 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. Gerry Trahan, Director of Facilities Maintenance; and Mr. Jim Vickers, Director of Planning and Development.

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

President Landry advised that the parish employees who had recently retired who were scheduled to be present to receive plaques of presentation had been unable to attend, and those plaques would be mailed to: Mr. Jeffrey Langley, Information Services, 14 years of service; and Ms. Carolyn Thibodeaux, Workforce Investment Center, 26 years of service.

President Landry 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 Landry advised that a presentation would be received at this time from Ms. Catherine Thomas with the United Way of Southwest Louisiana in reference to the work of the Calcasieu Long-Term Recovery Group (CLTRG) and the involvement of Parish departments and agencies in support of this effort.

Mr. Tarek Polite, Director of Federal Program Development, introduced Ms. Thomas, Chairman of the CLTRG, who gave a presentation about the services offered by said group. She stated that the mission was “to maintain a network that will provide coordinated recovery efforts as a result of disasters on behalf, and for the benefit, of the residents of Calcasieu Parish,” and the group consisted of more than 70 representatives from over 40 non-profit, faith-based, and governmental agencies and entities including, but not limited to the Police Jury, FEMA, the Salvation Army, United Way, American Red Cross, City of Lake Charles, etc.

Ms. Thomas advised that since Hurricane Rita hit the area, the Salvation Army had served more than 9,000 families, Volunteers of America/Louisiana Spirit Program had assisted more than 4,800 individuals with mental health needs, F. H. Dunn Resurrection Center had averaged assistance to more than 1,000 recipients per month, United Way’s Hurricane Relief Fund had awarded more than $600,000 in grants to area organizations, coordinated the receipt of distributions of donated items such as computers, living kits, building materials, furniture, and appliances, and had leveraged more than $1 million dollars in cash and in-kind resources.

Ms. Thomas stated that needs assessment volunteers were operating from the United Way’s SWLA Volunteer Housing Center located in Moss Bluff to identify un-met needs in the area and that of 1800 households visited, 1,336 were not at home at the time of visit, 296 indicated no assistance was needed, and 168 reported that they still needed assistance. A breakdown of those needs was as follows: Of a population consisting of 28% disabled and 26.5% elderly, 59.8% were in need of major construction assistance and 15.9% in need of minor assistance, 22% needed beds, 79% needed roof repairs, 87% needed walls and ceilings, 23.5% indicated stress-related needs, and 5.3% needed help with insurance.

Ms. Thomas further stated that the CLTRG’s goals were to repair and rebuild damaged homes, get families out of trailers and into homes, provide services and programs to address job readiness and employment, enhance and expand available resources to speak to the needs of area children, and provide services to support emotional and spiritual needs. She closed by saying that continued support was needed to help the group access and obtain building materials, furniture and appliances, volunteers (skilled and unskilled), supportive services for volunteers (meals, transportation, etc.), and contributions and donations.

Mr. Manuel pointed out that the Police Jury had contributed $50,000 to turn the old Middle School located on Recreation Boulevard in Moss Bluff into the Volunteer Housing Center and that it could house 200 students at one time. Ms. Thomas stated that it was actually being used as a model among other United Way agencies to initiate partnerships.

President Landry thanked Ms. Thomas and her organization for the work they were doing to make life better for the citizens of Southwest Louisiana.

Motion was made by Mr. Collins, seconded by Mrs. Griffin and carried unanimously that the issuance of the following Special Events Permit be ratified:

Upon motion made by Mr. McMillin, which was duly seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously, the minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Police Jury dated December 21, 2006, were approved as written, and the reading of same was dispensed with.

President Landry advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ06-037-06 which was a request by Helen L. Joffrion to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to R-M (Multi Family Residential) to allow multi-family development (six duplexes) at 1249 Penton Road in Ward Six, Police Jury District 11 (Mrs. Treme’s district). President Landry further advised that on Thursday, December 21, 2006, the Police Jury deferred action for thirty (30) days. He also advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, December 19, 2006, and voted eight (for) to three (against) to recommend that the request be granted with the following stipulations: (1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; (2) that the use be limited to duplexes only; (3) that the duplexes must be landscaped and the plan approved by the Division of Planning and Development; and (4) that all drives and parking must be hardsurfaced (concrete or asphalt).

Motion was made by Mrs. Treme and seconded by Mr. Manuel to overturn the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and to deny the request to rezone.

Mrs. Barbara Dawson, daughter of the applicant, 18453 Shadow Creek, Baton Rouge, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that they had talked to several real estate agents in DeQuincy who said there was a need for housing of the elderly and/or young people. Mrs. Dawson explained that a meeting had been held the evening before to explain the proposed development to the opponents, and most of their concerns had been addressed at that time, however, one of the new issues was drainage from the wastewater treatment and lift station.

Mr. Don Dawson, her husband, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that even though the Health Department had indicated a need for a 3500-gallon plant, they had decided to upgrade to a 4000-gallon plant with a back-up system with two pumps, one of which would automatically come on, along with an alarm, if the other pump went down so that the system would never be out of operation. Mr. Dawson stated that one of the concerns voiced by the opposition had been the amount of discharge from the sewer plant but based on calculations done by an engineer and the manufacturer of the plant he planned to use, he estimated a discharge of 4,000 gallons per day which he said equated to the flow of a water hose pipe.

Mr. Dawson stated that he had talked to Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Engineer, about the concerns of the water flow draining east on Penton Road, and he asked about the possibility of boring under the road, to which he said Mr. Wainwright told him that was a possibility but that he would have to look at it and also look at the cost. Mr. Dawson pointed out that the Department of Health and Hospitals would have the final word on the wastewater system.

Mr. Johnny Tolbert, 1400 Penton Road, DeQuincy, appeared before the Police Jury and stated he had lived on Penton Road since 1986. He further stated that wastewater was definitely a concern, pointing out that when it rained hard, Penton Road got 8-10" of water over it and that the Parish had had to repair the road four or five times. Mr. Tolbert also expressed his concern for the safety of children in the area, not knowing who would be renting the duplexes at any given time.

Mrs. Bobbie L. Mericle, 1255 Penton Road, DeQuincy, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that she lived right next door to the proposed duplexes and was not only concerned about drainage issues but also the lack of privacy if the duplexes were built. She asked if the request for rezoning was approved, that a privacy fence be required. Mrs. Mericle also spoke of her concern about a decline in property values, as well as having no control over how many residents would be living in each duplex. She also spoke of the loss of peace and quiet in the neighborhood and possible security and maintenance problems.

Ms. Tina Reeves, 1283 Penton Road, DeQuincy, appeared before the Police Jury and talked about her concerns, many of which had already been addressed, such as drainage, environmental effects, and the health and safety of her children. Ms. Reeves stated that 100% of the residents of Penton Road had signed a petition in opposition to the project.

Mr. Huey Shirley, 1267 Penton Road, DeQuincy, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that he had lived there for 44 years. He agreed with statements made by the other residents and disagreed with the idea of running the sewer line underneath the road, because he said the discharge would end up in a nearby pond.

Ms. Betty Tolbert, 1400 Penton Road, DeQuincy, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that the residents were not against progress, but they felt this project should be located somewhere else. Ms. Tolbert also stated that there was housing in DeQuincy and that the DeQuincy Housing Authority currently had vacancies. She further stated that she did not think very many people could afford to pay the rent for the duplexes.

Mrs. Dawson stated that she had been told that the Chamber of Commerce in DeQuincy received a call once a week inquiring about availability of units like the one she proposed. She also stated that her sister, who lived approximately five minutes away from the location of the duplexes, would manage them.

In answer to a question by Mr. Clement, Mr. Wainwright stated that he had been “caught cold” on the question referred to earlier about running the sewer pipe underneath Penton Road. He explained that someone had contacted him around noon on this date about that proposition, and he told them he would have to research it, pointing out that the Parish did not like to swap one problem for another. Mr. Wainwright stated that under no circumstances was he able to provide an answer to that question at the meeting on this date and would have to check further.

Mr. Guillory asked if the applicants planned to provide low-income housing in the future, and Mrs. Dawson stated that was not their intent, since there was already a lot of low-income housing in the DeQuincy area, and they were looking to provide housing for mid-income citizens such as teachers, railroad employees, etc.

In answer to a question by Mr. McMillin, Mrs. Dawson advised that a six-foot privacy fence would be installed between her property and Mrs. Mericle’s, as well as behind the units, and there would be security lights.

Mr. Vickers stated that there was definitely a need for housing all over the Parish, and there had not been that many housing opportunities in the unincorporated areas of Ward Six of this type and quality. He further stated that he understood the residents’ concerns, but housing was still needed. With regard to questions/concerns related to effluent, Mr. Vickers advised that DHH would have be responsible for reviewing the plans, making the decision on what kind and how big of a system was needed, and permitting the system. Mr. Vickers stated that it seemed the applicant was going above and beyond the call of duty in terms of the kind of sewer plant that would be placed on the property.

Mrs. Treme stated that she had known Mrs. Dawson all of her life but had told her in the beginning that she would have to vote in favor of what the residents on Penton Road wanted, and that she had been completely honest with both the proponents and opponents during the entire process.

President Landry stated that each side would be allowed a three-minute rebuttal at this time.

Ms. Tolbert appeared again before the Police Jury and stated that there was a sawmill across the road. She advised that the noise from it started at 6:00 a.m. and quit around 6:00 p.m. and that trucks traveled in and out of there all day long. Ms. Tolbert also stated that when the weather was dry, dust just “boiled” out of the sawmill and when the weather was wet, the sawdust fermented and stunk. She further stated that she did not think anyone would stay long, and there would be a huge, continuing turnover of renters.

Mr. Stelly asked about the possibility of reducing the number of duplexes instead of scratching the entire project, to which Mr. Dawson explained that the need to generate sufficient income to offset the project would not allow a decrease in the number of units.

President Landry asked for a roll call vote on the motion on the floor which was to overturn the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board with respect to Zoning Request RZ06-037-06 and to deny the request to rezone. The result of the vote thereon was as follows:

YEAS:Mr. Andrepont, Mr. Brame, Mr. Collins, Mr. Danahay, Mr. Guidry, Mr. Manuel, Mr. McMillin, and Mrs. Treme

The vote being eight (for) to five (against), President Landry declared the motion as having carried, and the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board was overturned with respect to Zoning Request RZ06-037-06, and the request to rezone was denied.

President Landry advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ03-001-07 which was a request by Alfred Miller Contracting (Agent) to rezone from R-1 (Single Family Residential) to I-1 (Light Industrial) to allow an expansion of an existing contractor’s shop and laydown yard (Alfred Miller Contracting) on L. Miller Road in Ward Three, Police Jury District 6 (Mr. Moon’s district). President Landry also advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, January 16, 2007, and voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted with the following stipulations: (1) that the use be limited to a contracting business only, and (2) that a six-foot privacy fence must be installed along the west and north property lines within six months of zoning approval.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. Griffin and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board be upheld with respect to Zoning Case RZ03-001-07 and that the request to rezone be granted with the stipulations outlined by said Board; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:

Following a brief report by Mr. Danahay, Chairman of the General Insurance Committee, motion was made by Mr. Brame and seconded by Mr. Danahay to approve the General Insurance Committee Report dated January 18, 2007, and all recommendations contained therein, as follows:

A meeting of the General Insurance Committee was held at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 18, 2007, in the Police Jury Meeting Room of the Parish Government Building, located at 1015 Pithon Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, with Mr. Mike Danahay, Chairman, presiding and the following members present:

Mrs. Sandra J. “Sandy” Treme, Mr. Francis Andrepont, Mrs. Elizabeth Conway Griffin, and Mr. Tony Stelly

Also present were Police Jurors Guy Brame, Brent Clement, Tony Guillory, Don Manuel, Charles S. Mackey, D.D.S., and Hal McMillin, as well as staff members Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Mr. Bryan Beam, Mr. Jerry Milner, Mr. Allen L. Smith, Jr., and Ms. Kathy P. Smith.

(a) Received report from staff as to recommendations regarding general liability coverage and matters related thereto and recommended that the Parish not renew its general liability insurance coverage when it expires on February 1, 2007.

(b) Recommended approval of a contract with the Public Entity and Scholastic Division of Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc., for professional enterprise risk management consulting services related to the Parish’s property, general liability, and workers’ compensation risk plans.

(c) Recommended approval of a contract with Milliman, Inc., for professional actuarial services for computation of post-employment health insurance liability.

With reference to Recommendation (a) as listed heretofore, Mr. McMurry explained that money would be budgeted to handle legitimate claims from funds originally budgeted for paying large insurance premiums. He further explained that Mr. Smith had done extensive research on this matter and that parishes across the State had done this. Mr. McMurry stated that this change would be a fairer approach for those justifiably entitled to compensation as opposed to the current approach that was not fair to the majority of citizens.

In answer to a question by Mr. Stelly, Mr. McMurry explained that a committee of staff members, including legal counsel, and insurance consultants would be formed to handle distribution of claims and that in accordance with Police Jury policy, any claim in excess of $25,000 would require formal action by the Police Jury.

With reference to Recommendation (c) of the General Insurance Committee Report, Mrs. Griffin pointed out that she had requested that Mr. Milner come back with a report on what effect this would have on the Parish’s retirees and whether it would result in an increase in premiums. Mr. Milner assured her he would present this information to the General Insurance Committee upon receipt of same.

A vote taken on the motion on the floor carried unanimously, said motion being to approve the General Insurance Committee Report dated January 18, 2007, and all recommendations contained therein.
