Lake Charles, Louisiana

The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 1, 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, Cornelius “Cornie” Moon, and Tony Stelly

Absent: None

Also present were Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Parish Administrator; Mr. Bryan Beam, Assistant Parish Administrator; Mrs. Coleen Clark, Executive Secretary; 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 Pastor Freddie Brown of Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mr. Guillory. The roll was called with the result being as outlined above.

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 plaque had been received from the American Arbitration Association on January 30, 2007, in appreciation of the Police Jury having allowed said organization, on behalf of the Louisiana Department of Insurance, to temporarily use office space in the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse for the Department’s Hurricane Mediation Program for mediation/hearing sites. President Landry pointed out that the Police Jury was the fourth recipient of this award, previous awards having been given to former President Jimmy Carter, former Attorney General Janet Reno, etc.

President Landry recognized Mayor Randy Roach as being present at the meeting on this date. Mayor Roach reported on, and invited participation in, an upcoming project being sponsored by a national non-profit organization called KABOOM which built playgrounds throughout the country, and the organization had made it available across the Gulf Coast region for those areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Mayor Roach further advised that this was a partnership with Home Depot which provided equipment, and the entity selected to participate provided volunteer labor. He stated that Lake Charles had been selected for a project at Lloyd Oaks Housing Development off of 18^th Street on Dixie Drive, and February 19^th would be a preparation day for volunteers, with the actual building day to be held February 22^nd. Mayor Roach encouraged anyone who was interested in volunteering to do so.

President Landry advised that a report would be received at this time from staff with reference to a review performed by Wilbur Smith Associates related to the feasibility of consolidating the facilities of Lake Charles Regional Airport and Chennault International Airport.

Mr. McMurry presented copies of a report by Ms. Pamela Keidel-Adams, Vice-President of Wilbur Smith Associates, the firm which had taken the reports done by the airports to determine (1) if the issues cited in the reports were valid, and if so, (2) what the costs of consolidation were. Mr. McMurry stated that the report done by Wilbur Smith Associates indicated that the issues were valid and that the costs associated therewith were estimated by her firm to be approximately $115 - $125 million (Lake Charles Regional had estimated $200 million, and Chennault had estimated $100 million).

Mr. McMurry stated that the report also indicated that consolidating the two airports was not financially feasible and cited a review of facilities across the United States where facilities were being replaced, not relocated. He pointed out that a board was in place to study the feasibility of developing an airport similar to Dallas/Fort Worth that would serve the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area, which would be big enough to attract flights like Houston or Atlanta might.

Mr. McMurry drew attention to a paragraph in the report by Wilbur Smith Associates which stated that:

“It is important to note that changing the community’s location of where the commercial airline service is provided (at LCH or at CWF) would not alter the type of service provided to the community. The type and level of service provided in the Lake Charles/Calcasieu Parish region is based on the existing characteristics of the community including population, employment, the demand for scheduled airline service, and the region’s location relative to other commercial service airports. The airlines would not look at the Lake Charles/Calcasieu Parish region differently if service were provided at another location.”

Mr. McMurry pointed out that in a lot of the discussions about consolidating the facilities, there had been a myth that consolidation would equate to obtaining another airline to service the area, however, the report indicated that this was not supported by evidence and that several comments had previously been made by different airlines to that effect.

Mr. Manuel asked what the status of discussions was pertaining to consolidation of the boards, to which Mr. McMurry responded that at the Regular Meeting on December 21, it was agreed that a committee would be formed comprised of representatives of each airport authority, and key staff members, to develop a list of pros and cons which could be presented to the Police Jury to see if that was the avenue they wished to pursue. Mr. McMurry stated that perhaps Wilbur Smith and Associates could take a look at that list to compare it with what other airports are doing around the country.

Mr. McMurry explained that letters had been sent on December 29, 2006, to the President of each board asking them to designate two of their members, and key staff, and responses had been received that Glen James, Jane Dufrene (board members) and Charles Harvey (staff) would represent Chennault, and Dr. John Moffett, Allen Smith (board members) and Heath Allen (staff) would represent Lake Charles Regional. Mr. McMurry further explained that over the next 60 to 90 days, the group would be meeting and developing a report which in addition to pros and cons of consolidating the boards, would also include whatever legal or legislative matters would be necessitated by consolidation, i.e., the Chennault board was a State-created board with representation from the City of Lake Charles, the Police Jury, the Calcasieu Parish School Board, etc.

Mr. Moon stated that the concern of the traveling public was the number of airlines serving the area, not the governance of the boards, and he suggested that a quarterly report be given to the Police Jury so that the public could be kept informed. He asked about the status of general aviation at Lake Charles Regional, and Mr. Smith stated that general aviation was very important in supporting any facility and was part of a “three-legged stool.” Mr. Smith pointed out that there were several aircraft-related businesses at the airport and that getting an additional carrier was as much a financial decision as anything.

Mr. Smith advised that the airport was currently negotiating with an airline to come into the area, hopefully in the second quarter of 2007. He stated that the proposal was for the airline to provide an airplane and two pilots, and the airport would provide all support services, i.e., ticket sales and baggage handling, etc. Mrs. Griffin asked that local companies and businesses be used as much as possible if the negotiations referred to by Mr. Smith came to fruition.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. Griffin and carried unanimously that the report as presented by staff on this date be received.

Motion was made by Mrs. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Guidry and carried unanimously that issuance of the following applications for liquor and beer permits be approved:
