Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont and seconded by Mrs. Treme to adopt a resolution approving a Joint Services Agreement between the Police Jury, Division of Planning and Development, and the City of DeQuincy to provide inspection services at a cost of $45.00 per inspection for State-mandated building codes, and further, authorizing the President of the Police Jury, or his designee, when appropriate, to execute all documents related thereto.

Mr. Danahay asked if the Parish’s inspectors would be combining some of the inspections, for instance, making one trip and doing the electrical and the plumbing inspections at one time, instead of multiple trips, and whether the inspectors could get additional certifications to aid in that process. Mr. Vickers responded that the municipalities would be encouraged to coordinate the inspections to cut down on the number of call outs and that the Parish would have to charge for each trip. He further stated that the Parish inspectors were being encouraged to get more than one certification to improve efficiency and to make best use of the Parish’s labor, training, and time.

A vote taken on the motion on the floor carried unanimously, and the following resolution was adopted:

Motion was made by Mr. Clement and seconded by Mr. Brame that a new Water Main Cost Assessment Policy be adopted for waterworks districts and systems governed directly by the Police Jury.

Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Engineer, advised that the staff had been working with Mr. Collins, Mr. Guillory, and Mr. Stelly to make improvements in Waterworks District No. Five of Wards Three and Eight and that this item, as well as the next two items on the agenda, were “housekeeping” items related to these efforts. Mr. Wainwright explained that a new system was going in, and the policy as referred to above was in accordance with Louisiana statutes with respect to assessments to be paid by the people who utilize the system. He further explained that the staff had drafted two versions, one in which property owners could sign a petition and with 60% approval could be provided water service right to their area, and the second being a “latecomer’s initiative” whereby the water district would bill the assessment to whoever tied into the system.

Mr. Wainwright stated that the next item on the agenda was consideration of adopting a resolution for the Police Jury, serving as the governing authority for Waterworks District No. Five of Wards Three and Eight, to establish a policy regarding water use rates for out-of-district customers and establish said rate at 1.5 times the standard district rates for residential and commercial customers. Mr. Wainwright explained that this was standard procedure to have an increased rate to recoup ad valorem taxes not being paid by the out-of-district customers and that the Division of Finance had assisted in coming up with some figures that were comparable to other areas of the Parish.

Mr. Wainwright stated that the next item on the agenda was consideration of adopting a resolution for the Police Jury, serving as the governing authority of Waterworks District No. Five of Wards Three and Eight, to enter into a cost share agreement with Clearfield Development, L.L.C. for construction of a 12-inch water main along Highway 397 for a distance of approximately 9,400 feet extending from East Prien Lake Road to south of Lane Road. Mr. Wainwright explained that this item would allow extension of water service to a subdivision located in that area.

Mr. Clement amended his motion, and Mr. Brame accepted said amendment, to approve all three items outlined and explained by Mr. Wainwright. A vote taken thereon carried unanimously, and the following resolutions were adopted:

Mr. McMillin was granted a point of personal privilege to ask for a status report on the railroad crossing at Highway 108. Mr. Smart stated that he had received an e-mail from Union Pacific Railroad Company advising that the crossing would be finished in May (instead of in March as originally scheduled). Mr. McMillin stated that the railroad company was not living up to its end of the bargain. Mr. McMillin further stated that “once again, we’re waiting on trains in Calcasieu Parish” and that he was not happy about this turn of events.

Mr. Brame was granted a point of personal privilege to address a problem in his district, that being a large field of debris in the Deatonville community south of Black Bayou Bridge.

Following a brief discussion, Mr. Gremillion stated that he would do some research on possible funding through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) (formerly known as the Soil Conservation Service), as well as the possibility of reducing the volume of debris via a controlled burn by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), to address this problem, and he would report back to the Police Jury on the outcome of his research. Mr. Gremillion advised that he was currently working on a plan for debris removal on Port of Lake Charles’ property adjacent to Calcasieu Point boat launch and park which involved a controlled burning by DEQ and the Lake Charles Fire Department.

There being no further business, motion was made by Mrs. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Moon and carried unanimously that the meeting be adjourned.
