The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 16, 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:

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

Also present were Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Parish Administrator; Mr. Bryan Beam, Assistant Parish Administrator; Mrs. Coleen Clark, Executive Secretary; Mr. Dick 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. Allen Smith of the firm of Plauche, Smith and Nieset, General Counsel; Ms. Kathy P. Smith, Recording Secretary; Mr. Claude Smart, Parish Engineer; Mr. Gerry Trahan, Director of Facilities Management; and Mr. Jim Vickers, Director of Planning and Development.

President Landry called the meeting to order. The invocation was pronounced by Mr. Collins which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. 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 silenced so they would not interrupt the meeting.

President Landry advised that sealed bids would be received and opened at this time, as advertised in accordance with law for action to be taken at 5:30 p.m. for office renovations to existing building (former Mire Building) located at the corner of Ryan and Gill Streets, and appropriate action would be taken thereon.

There being no other bids, motion was made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Brame and carried unanimously that the bids be referred to the Project Architect for final tabulation, with further action thereon to be taken by the Police Jury at its Regular Meeting on September 6, 2007.

It was moved by Mr. Manuel, seconded by Dr. Mackey and carried unanimously to suspend the rules by a two-thirds majority vote to receive a report from staff for the purpose of clarifying intent of action taken by the Police Jury on July 5, 2007, authorizing a Joint Services Agreement with the City of Lake Charles which provided for the use by the City of the Parish’s “quick-take” authority for the acquisition of right-of-way for a City sewer effluent line in the vicinity of the Alcoa Plant in south Ward Three.

Mr. McMurry explained that the resolution adopted by the Police Jury on July 5^th took care of the issue he wanted to discuss with the jurors but since it was not talked about at that meeting, he felt it was important for them to hear “the rest of the story”. Mr. McMurry advised that subsequent to adoption of the resolution, discussions had taken place regarding a better route which would be more environmentally friendly and that this route would cross other property in addition to that owned by Alcoa.

Motion was made by Dr. Mackey and seconded by Danahay that the Police Jury’s action on July 5, 2007, with regard to this matter be affirmed, with the understanding that other property in addition to that owned by Alcoa would be involved.

In answer to a question by Mr. Clement, Mr. McMurry advised that the City was just “borrowing” the Parish’s quick take authority in this one instance.

President Landry stated that an update would be received at this time from the staff on activities related to the Parish’s efforts in the operation of Gravity Drainage District No. Eight of Ward One.

Mr. McMurry thanked Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Operations Manager, for the report he had compiled, copies of which were distributed to the Jury, and he asked Mr. Wainwright to give an executive summary of the report.

Mr. Wainwright began by thanking the board members and employees of the District, as well as the Public Works employees who had helped compile the report. Mr. Wainwright explained that the report was broken into six sections: (1) Human Resources, Training and Safety, (2) Daily Operations, (3) Accounting and Finance, (4) Best Management Practices, (5) Fleet Management, and (6) Vegetation and Herbicide Program. He further explained that each of these six sections had three sub-sections: (1) findings, (2) immediate actions, and (3) recommendations. Mr. Wainwright advised that the last section of the report was entitled “Summary and Observation,” and he pointed out that many of the problems currently facing the District were systemic in that they were attributable more to the system (of governance of drainage) than the individual district. Mr. Wainwright stated that the key to improving drainage in the District was for the citizens to come together to provide adequate rights-of-way. Mr. Wainwright recommended that the Board of Commissioners needed to resume operation of the District by picking up the pieces, starting the healing process and more importantly, regaining the confidence of the citizens. Mr. Wainwright also recommended that the District take better advantage of doing business with some of the departments in the Parish Government Building so that those resources could be utilized for the District’s benefit.

Mr. Wainwright further recommended that efforts should start, now that the report was completed, on hiring a new superintendent for the District. He stated that one of the toughest recommendations was that the Board needed to meet more often than once a month in a District as big as the Ward One district and that some sort of plan should be devised so that the Board could be better in touch with daily operations. Mr. Wainwright closed by saying that the task assigned to his department was complete, however, he felt it would be worthwhile for the staff to periodically check to ensure that recommendations contained in the report were being followed in order to “keep the train moving in the right direction.”

Mr. George Wilkinson, President of the Board of Commissioners of the District, appeared before the Police Jury and expressed his appreciation for Mr. Wainwright’s assistance, pointing out that they had both learned from each other during the process.

Motion was made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously that the report as presented by staff be received.

Upon motion made by Mr. Moon, which was duly seconded by Mr. McMillin and carried unanimously, the following applications for liquor and beer permits were approved, and the issuance of the Special Events Permit as listed was ratified:

It was moved by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mr. Guidry and carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Police Jury dated July 19, 2007.

President Landry advised that action was needed on a revision to RZ01-025-05 which was a request by David Reeves to amend Ordinance No. 4959, Stipulation No. 3, to read that “the use be limited to a storage yard and hair salon only”, said property located at 954 White Road in Ward One, Police Jury District 2 (Mr. Collins’ district). President Landry also advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, and voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted. [On August 18, 2005, the Police Jury approved the petitioner’s request to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to I-1 (Light Industrial) to allow a sewer installation business and at that time, it was stipulated that “the use be limited to a storage yard only.” The petitioner was requesting on this date that the hair shop also be added to the stipulation.]

Upon motion made by Mr. Andrepont, which was duly seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously, the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board was upheld with respect to a request for revision of RZ01-025-05, and the request was granted; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:
