Lake Charles, Louisiana
The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 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, 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: Mr. Brent Clement
Also present were Mr. S. Mark McMurry, Parish Administrator; Mr. Bryan Beam, Assistant Parish Administrator; 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 Management; 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 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.
Grants from the Police Jury’s Gaming Fund to small cities were presented at this time to the following entities representing seven months of grant monies:
City of DeQuincy $123,958.00
Small Cities Grant
Town of Iowa $ 99,167.00
Small Cities Grant
City of Sulphur $148,750.00
Small Cities Grant
Town of Vinton $273,958.00
Small Cities Grant-$123,958, $150,000 Impact Fee
Receiving the grants on behalf of their respective entities, and expressing appreciation therefor, were The Honorable Lawrence Henagan, Mayor of the City of DeQuincy; The Honorable C. J. Scheufens, Mayor of the Town of Iowa; Mr. George Clyde, Director of Finance, City of Sulphur; and The Honorable Kenny Stinson, Mayor of the Town of Vinton.
President Landry advised that a report would be received at this time from Mr. Clyde Mitchell of Entergy with reference to the Police Jury’s request for information regarding underground utilities. Mrs. Griffin stated that she had asked for this report due to questions she was receiving from her constituents for which she did not have answers.
Mr. Mitchell appeared before the Police Jury at this time, and he advised that the estimated cost of converting from overhead to underground utilities in an existing subdivision was $1,000 per lot and that there would still be poles on the street, just none in yards. Mr. Mitchell further advised that if an entire street was converted, the estimated cost was approximately $8,000 - $15,000 per lot in most subdivisions, with an entire system being about $700,000 per mile. He stated that if underground utilities were requested, the developer or lot owner would pay the difference between overhead and underground costs, and this was paid up front.
In answer to a question by Mrs. Griffin, Mr. Mitchell explained that every underground system had to come from an overhead source or transmission lines and that after Hurricane Rita, Entergy’s transmission system was out from north of Houston to Lafayette and once the overhead system went down, there was no electrical power available within that area until it was restored.
President Landry thanked Mr. Mitchell for his report and advised that a presentation would be given at this time by Dr. Pat Robinson, Administrator of Moss Regional Hospital, on a Health Care Improvements Initiative in Calcasieu Parish.
Dr. Robinson explained that part of the State’s duties was to improve community health, pointing out that Moss Regional Hospital had taken over health care at the Calcasieu Correctional Center. He spoke about “Blueprint Louisiana,” a citizen-driven effort to identify and implement essential changes to fundamentally improve Louisiana which had been ranked as the least healthy state in the nation. Dr. Robinson talked about several changes that had been identified which included the need for first-class access to health care, quality of care, and unhealthy habits or conditions such as smoking, physical inactivity, obesity and poverty. Dr. Robinson stated that access to quality health care did not affect the quality of health as much as smoking, physical inactivity, etc.
Dr. Robinson pointed out that the states which had the best access to care were also the most expensive, spending $1,072 per person per year, and that with over four million citizens, this would be very expensive for the State of Louisiana. Dr. Robinson stated that if the community wanted to be healthier, they must move forward with better habits such as increased physical activity, proper diet, smoking cessation, etc. Dr. Robinson recommended taking a look at what other communities around the nation were doing to improve health outcomes.
In closing, Dr. Robinson recommended a website on the internet, statehealthfacts.org, which he said contained a lot of useful data and information regarding these matters.
Motion was made by Mr. McMillin, seconded by Mr. Guidry and carried unanimously that the following applications for liquor and beer permits be approved, and further, that the Special Events Permit as listed be ratified:
