East Ascension Drainage Board - March 7, 2023
A
B
A
A
Time.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much
item
number:
six
General
business:
a
approval
of
an
amendment
number
five
for
Lifehouse
to
extend
the
contract
term
one
additional
year
through
July
14
2024
and
increase
the
amount
by
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
bring
the
new
contract
total
to
a
not
to
exceed
one
million
99
500
for
labor
purposes.
I
have
a
motion
and
a
second
Mr
Samuel.
E
All
right
there
we
go
so
from
the
last
meeting.
I
did
some
homework
and
digging
on
an
overview
to
give
y'all
a
quick
summary
of
this.
A
E
All
right,
so
we
entered
into
the
contract
July
15
2001,
with
the
original
of
49
500..
We
amended
it
on
the
25th
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
300,
000.
and
February
17th.
We
all
voted
to
accept
a
new
rate
increase
to
1892
on
July
14th.
We
renewed
it
for
another
year
on
the
18th.
Is
our
last
contract
amount
increase
of
350
000.?
E
Our
current
contract
amount
is
currently
at
69.
699
500.,
we're
here
to
seek
to
renew
for
an
additional
year
and
to
amend
the
contract
for
an
additional
400
000
for
223
wanting
to
get
the
renewal
up
in
step
for
our
growing
season,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we
know
what
we
have
going
into
our
grilling
season.
E
So
what
we're
currently
doing
right
now
vegetation
is
currently
using
a
maximum
of
16
laborers.
We've
got
12
split
into
two
independent
Crews
for
hand,
cleaning
conservitudes
and
our
adopted
laterals.
Where
needed.
We
have
four
that
supplement
our
litter
and
debris
Cruise
in
major
duranians.
Our
boat
crews
are
using
four
to
supplement
Parish
labor
for
tree
removal
in
Spring
and
also
in
major
drainage.
E
We
have
the
excavator
on
the
excavator
Cruise,
we're
using
three
for
equipment
spotting
and
general
hand
labor
for
of
the
entirety
of
the
contract
over
500
551
work
orders
have
been
completed
under
this
contract
since
August
of
2021,
either
with
a
partial
labor
supplement
to
our
existing
Parish
Personnel
or
the
entirety
of
the
crews
being
contract
labor
the
biggest
two
which
I've
been
consistently
showing
y'all
in
these
reports.
355
of
them
were
for
cleaning
the
servitude
and
148
trash
and
debris
on
our
Parish
in
State
Highway
contract.
E
What
we've
done
and
completed
each
year
in
the
cost
associated
with
it
61
in
2021,
at
a
cost
of
seventy
six
thousand
five
hundred
and
eight
dollars
and
65
cents
414
completed
in
2022,
at
a
cost
of
479
478.79
and
for
2023
up
until
I
ran.
This
report
was
I
think
about
a
week
after
our
last
meeting
53
completed
so
far
at
in
2023,
at
a
cost
of
72,
635
and
86
cents.
The
graph
displays
a
quick
overview
showing
the
production
specifically
for
this
contract.
E
E
The
graph
that
y'all
are
seeing
is
what
I
showed
y'all
back
in
October
that
our
production
was
being
outweighed
by
incoming
calls
by
about
two
to
one.
So
it
took
us
up
until
February
to
totally
clear
out
that
backlog
specifically
for
this
crew,
our
hand,
labor
Crews,
okay,
I,
just
I
got
ahead
of
myself.
I'll
finish
our
last
outstanding
work
from
2022
and
I
predict
that
vegetations
expense
for
the
same
level
of
service
in
through
the
next
cutting
season
is
forecasted
to
be
around
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
E
Oh
so
quick
contrast,
I'm
sorry,
a
quick
comparison
with
our
current
contract,
labor
rate
being
an
1892
per
hour
that
does
include
the
two
vehicles
that
they
use
and
the
operating
expenses
of
them
for
two
independent
Crews
for
hand,
cleaning
the
comparable
position
for
a
parish
worker
is
a
maintenance
tech,
one
and
the
total
overhead
cost
that
I
got
from
Finance,
including
retirement
insurance
and
all
the
other
things
with
that
comes
to
about
22.22,
22
cents
per
hour.
Of
course,
that
does
not
include
the
vehicles
and
operating
expense.
That's
just
the
cost.
E
A
Hearing
none?
Are
there
any
objections?
Mr,
I'm,
sorry,
I,
didn't
see
you
come
up
there
down.
That's
okay,
go
ahead,
Dan
Mr.
F
Johan
good
presentation,
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
so
I
guess
I
would
just
say
this
is
just
general
questions,
I'm,
certainly
not
against
this
contract
or
anything
just
making
sure
to
cover
all
bases.
Okay
is
this:
you
know
I
know
when
we
started
this.
It
kind
of
replaced.
The
sheriff's
contract
was
like
187
000
a
year,
so
now
we're
up
to
I'm
assuming
annual.
E
See
I
knew
we
were
about
how
much
do
we
have
left
Todd.
You
remember.
F
H
So
down
how
you
doing
bud
good
man
that
is
figured
on
what
we're
figuring
about
seven
hundred
thousand
per
year.
If
we
was
doing
a
complete.
H
Calendar
year
this,
this
400
000
would
be
figured
on
for
about
six
months
or
right
at
the
end
of
the
growing
season.
So.
I
H
J
H
F
I
H
Not
against
it
just
asking
right
right,
okay,
so
the
answer
would
be
to
to
do
a
hand
cleaning
for
Lifehouse
contract,
we're
looking
at
about
350
000
a
year,
all
right
a
six
months.
Excuse
me:
okay,
as
this
evolves.
It's
it's.
It's
becoming
a
great
asset
for
us
in
all
departments,
and
so
as
as
Johan
mentioned,
the
savings
of
a
Lifehouse
member
versus
a
a
parish
employee,
the
savings
on
it,
it's
it's
quite
substantial
and
and
the
work
we're
getting
out
of
them
is-
is
quite
substantial.
H
H
F
Actually,
moving
into
you
know
we're
replacing
we're
not
replacing,
but
it's
it's
taking
a
place
of
jobs
that
we
would
otherwise
hire
and
I
understand
the
savings,
but
would
it
make
sense
and
Clint
that
you
can
answer
this
certainly
I
mean?
Would
it
make
sense
to
you
know
part
of
the
budgetary
process
right,
so
this
money
that
started
off
one
place?
Now
it's
it's
growing
quite
a
bit
to
the
tune
of
seven
hundred
thousand.
Do
we
need
to
structure
this
differently
to
properly
capture
it
out
of
the
right
buckets?
Or
is
this
just
you.
D
It's
it's
in
it's
under
drainage,
so
it's
in
the
same
Department,
although
drainage
is
split
up
between
vegetation
and
major
drainage
and
minor
drainage.
So
you
know
it's
such
a
labor-intensive
field
of
work
that
we
utilize
these
guys
in
the
boat
cruise.
We
utilize
them
and
and
regular
drainage,
major
drainage
just
because
of
the
labor
market.
So
intense
and
they've
really
sent
us
a
lot
of
great
workers,
so
you
know
and
I've
said
it
before.
D
Sometimes
they
they
do
some
of
the
labor
that
our
employees
don't
want
to
do
and
they
do
a
great
job
at
it
and
then
that's
getting
down
in
those
ditches
and-
and
you
know,
obviously
you
know
we
don't
have
a
regional
sewer,
and
so
you
know
what
that
means.
So
they're
doing
some
of
that
nasty
work
for
us
and
and
they're
getting
it
done,
and
it's
about
level
of
service
is
what
it's
about
and
we're
getting
a
savings
from
that.
D
Well,
then,
can
we
supplement
with
Lifehouse
because
the
savings
we
get
on
not
having
to
have
additional
benefits
vehicles
and
all
the
other
things
that
our
regular
Parish
employees
have
it's
a
tremendous
savings
for
us
just
to
to
better
utilize,
Lifehouse
and
but
it's
all
under
the
drainage
umbrella,
so
there's
no
separation
of
having
to
separate
funds.
It's
all
coming
from
under
this
board
here
and
it's
inside
of
that
umbrella.
I'd.
L
L
You
just
can't
get
equipment
in
right
and
then
not
only
that
you
had
hurricane
Ida
hit
us
last
year
and
there
was
a
lot
of
just
chainsaw
work
and
non-stop
hard,
intense
labor,
but
on
top
of
that,
the
Labor
Field
this
day
and
time
to
fill
these
positions
that
we
do
have
vacant.
We
can't
get
people
to
come
to
the
interviews
right
now,
so
so
you
know
that's
kind
of
that
struggle,
so
I
can
see
where
we
make.
L
We
may
try
to
offset
this
and
cut
some
back
from
the
back
if
we
do
start
filling
in
some
of
those
open
vacant
positions
with
some
people
and
get
them
on
board,
but
we're
having
trouble
filling
those
lower
end,
labor
grade
positions.
You
know
with
staff
that
want
to
come
on
permanent
and
we
would
love
to
do
so,
but
we're
just
having
those
challenges
so
I
think
that's
some
explanations.
F
I'm,
not
questioning
any
of
that
certainly
understand
it.
Just
you
know
as
we
grow
this
contract,
are
we
bypassing
some
kind
of
bid
law
or
anything
like
that?
That's
what
I'm
asking
I,
don't
I
mean
I'm,
just
I'm,
not
against
it.
If
it's
producing
good
work,
it's
savings,
let's
keep
doing
it,
but
you
know
I,
just
think
these
questions
arise
in
my
head
or
are
we
bypassing
something
where
we're
just
adding
and
giving
work
away?
Are
we
supposed
to
be
bidding
out
some
of
this
like
temporary
staffing
and
things.
D
Like
it
wouldn't
be
in
a
bid
like
we're
building
a
project
which
has
you
know,
obviously
state
regulations
against
this
is
more
about
employment.
We
use
other
employment
agencies,
there's
no
limits
to
that.
There's
no
state
law
that
regulates
that,
but
legal's
welcome
to
chime
in
here
at
any
any
point.
If
you
want
to
save
for
breaking
any
laws
or
anything
like
that,.
K
No
we're
we
are
doing.
Contract
labor
and
I
talked
with
Finance
about
this
this
this
morning
and
we're
we
have
a
huge
savings
that
we're
getting
going
through
this
process,
so
it
all
checks
out
from
our
standpoint.
I
C
C
H
Are
some
rotation
in,
but
it's
it's
a
matter
of
of
Life
houses
schedules
for
the
most
part.
Obviously,
once
one
of
the
gentlemen
go
through
the
program
and
graduate
which
is
a
12-month
program,
will
roll
one
in
in
his
place,
but
for
the
most
part
Aaron
it's
it's
the
same,
24
and
I
say
24..
That
number
difference
is
a
different
the
weeks,
depending
on
how
many
we
need.
But
yes,
it's
the
same
group
of
guys
that
come
daily
unless
there's
a
change
over
on
the
lighthouses
in
gotcha.
B
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
points
with
using
the
contract
labor,
you
know
we're
not
even
necessarily
taken
jobs
that
we
would
give
to
people.
Otherwise,
if
you
look
at
the
nature
of
the
work
that
they're
dealing
with
because
I
mean
kind
of
as
Ron
was
talking
about
when
we're
dealing
with
nature,
you
know
sometimes
of
the
Year.
Even
without
a
disaster,
even
without
storms,
I
mean
Nebraska
is
way
way
more
seven
months
out
of
the
year
four
months
out
of
the
year
than
it
does
the
rest
of
the
year.
B
I
mean
things
happen
and
our
ability
is
to
perish
to
have
the
resources
to
get
more
employees
in
these
times,
and
these
in
these
even
Seasons.
It's
not
it's
not
what
Lifehouse
has
to
offer
and
in
the
same
token,
it's
given
these
guys
a
Lifehouse,
an
opportunity
to
come
in
here
and
to
work
and
to
get
back
on
their
feet
and
to
get
get.
You
know,
get
a
taste
of
the
workforce
and
that
sets
an
opportunity
for
the
future.
B
For
both
of
us
I
mean
not
I
know
we
have
hired
some
people
out
in
Lifehouse
and
hopefully
we'll
continue
to
hire
some
people
after
graduation
in
the
future.
So
I
don't
really
want
to
look
at
it,
necessarily
as
denying
people
and
I'm
not
saying
you're,
saying
we're
denying
people,
employees
or
you
know
not
giving
people
jobs.
B
That
should
have
jobs,
but
you
know
more
so
is
more
flexibility
in
how
many
people
we
use
at
different
times
of
the
year
I
mean
I,
do
appreciate
what
they
do
and
I
mean
I've
worked
with
with
them
in
some
different
things
here
and
there,
and
you
know
it's
always
good
to
work
with
a
group
of
guys
that
want
to
be
there
and,
and
you
know,
enjoy
what
they're
doing.
Thank
you.
A
L
Absolutely
yeah
matter
of
fact:
we
have
a
superior
leader
and
I
feel
is
been
great
to
our
team
and
has
helped
vegetation.
You
see
some
of
the
documentation
that
these
guys
are
producing
they're,
hiring
people
from
this
program
and
others,
and
our
own
staff
I
think
that
whole
department
has
really
come
a
long
way,
and
this
program
is
just
another.
L
Another
tool
in
their
Arsenal
that
I
feel
like
is
is
very
important
to
what
we
do,
and
the
level
of
service
that
we've
now
created
that
we're
hitting
a
certain
level
there
so
sort
of
sustained.
It
I
think
we're
absolutely
going
to
need
to
keep
this
in
place.
A
One
more
question:
if
I
may
Mr,
President
and
I'll
recognize
you
so
when
we
hire
these
people
from
Lifehouse
we're
hiring
them
as
not
not
in
under
this
contract.
But
when
we
take
one
and
said
look,
you
have
done
a
great
job.
We
want
you
to
work
for
the
parish,
so
that
person
comes
in
as
a
parish
employee
at
the
rate
that
any
other
employee
would
be
hired
at
and
all
of
the
benefits
that
are
a
part
of
that
package
am.
L
E
Well,
we
actually
just
finished
a
run
of
interviewing
for
maintenance
tech,
two
spot
for
a
tractor
sprayer
driver
and
our
selected
candidate
was
one
of
their
recent
graduates.
A
E
We
also
have
another
supervisor
that
was
came
from
the
lighthouse
Mr
Wayland
Walden.
It's.
A
Awesome
so
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
I
mean
people
who
are
at
the
Lifehouse
are
in
unfortunate
situations.
There's
no
doubt
that
I
do
not
want
Parish
government
to
take
advantage
of
those
people.
We
want
them
to
be
cared
for
and
give
an
opportunity-
and
that
was
the
purpose
of
entering
into
this
program
not
to
just
put
people
in
hard
places
into
hard
places.
D
Sorry,
that's
okay,
yeah,
so
you
know
as
a
parish
we
are,
we
are
blessed,
we
are
creating
more
jobs
and
we
are
creating
a
very
competitive
standpoint
with
our
job
Credit
in
a
private
sector,
and
so
therefore,
it's
difficult
to
find
these
type
of
positions
at
these
levels,
and
so
Lifehouse
is
providing
that
service
through
their
program,
which
is
benefiting
these
men
and
women
because
there's
there's
both
men
and
women,
and
so
it's
really
just
a
great
partnership,
because
I
anticipate,
as
you
all
know,
because
y'all
approve
some
items
today,
as
well
as
many
in
the
past
and
more
to
come
that
this
labor
market
is
going
to
get
even
Tighter
and
we're
that's
a
blessing.
D
I
mean
that's.
It
is
a
true
blessing
for
this
Parish.
You
know
we
were
currently
rated.
The
number
one
place
to
live
and
employment
was
a
big
part
of
that
and
and
we
have
the
highest
medium
income
in
the
state,
and
so
you
know
we
are
blessed
here,
but
this
program
allows
us
to
provide
a
service
for
our
our
citizens.
That
I
don't
know
I
think
we
would
have
trouble
I
think
we
couldn't,
but
we
would
have
difficulties
in
providing
that
service
without
this
program.
F
F
And
things
like
that
things
I,
don't
know
about
so
yeah,
but
guys
I
know
you
do
guys,
do
good
work,
I'm,
just
asking
questions
about
budgetary
and
just
the
the
overall
arching
sense
of
this
contract,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
covering
all
our
bases
so
I'm,
certainly
not
against
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
Mr
President
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
were
right
at
the
number
one
place
to
live:
Statewide
worldwide,
University
Statewide
looking
at
Statewide,
yes,
very
good.
B
A
A
Item
B
and
approval
of
amendment
7
to
the
master
contract
between
H
Davis,
Cole
and
East
Ascension
drainage
to
increase
the
contract
amount
of
fifty
two
thousand
dollars
for
additional
resident
inspection
funds
for
the
New
River
dredging
project
from
November
from
December
2022
to
March
2033
for
a
total
contract
amount
of
six
hundred
thirteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
nineteen
dollars.
So
I
have
a
question
right
off
the
bat.
What
what
is
a
resident
inspection
fund
and
so
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you,
sir,
absolutely
identify.
M
M
A
D
M
Do
you
want
me
to
just
roll
right
on
into
the
tiltware
too
sure?
Okay,
so
I'm
Davis
Cole,
where
we've
been
working
on
the
New,
River
Channel
Improvement
project?
This
is
the
I
guess
the
first
phase
of
it,
which
is
dredging
for
lack
of
a
better
term
but
Canal
shaping
installation
of
rip
rap
things
like
that.
M
So
you
know
you
never
can
do
this
right,
okay,
so
this
is
just
an
update,
we're
40
about
95,
complete
with
the
entire
project
and
that's
wrong
drainage,
excavation
and
Bank
Midfield
they're
around
95,
or
so
we
actually
came
in
under
on
the
embankment
so
far
and
a
little
bit
over
on
the
excavation,
which
kind
of
balance
out
those
things
happen
we
had
to
over
excavate
in
some
areas
where
the
the
the
channel
was
really
really
soft.
It
really
wasn't
a
bottom
there.
O
M
The
Kansas
City,
Southern,
Railroad
and
along
their
track,
is
the
last
little
bit
that
is
remaining.
We
have
we've
had
it
have
a
permit,
I
guess
for
work
under
the
bridge,
we're
starting
to
coordinate
with
the
railroad
to
make
that
work
happen,
there's
been
a
little
less
in
responsive
but
myself
with
Ron
and
with
the
contractor,
we're
on
top
of
it
and
trying
to
get
that
last
little
bit
finished.
M
So
to
date,
approximately
62
000
cubic
yards
have
been
taken
out
of
the
channel
and
approximately
1700
yards
of
embankment
fill
have
been
placed,
so
the
the
dirt
we're
bringing
in
is
to
make
the
slopes.
Like
you
see
now,
they're
nice,
gentle
slaves
that
can
be
maintained
with
the
parish,
mowers
and
whatnot.
M
Photographs,
the
first
one
here
is
a
they
used
an
amphibious
excavator
to
actually
get
into
the
channel
to
dredge
out
to
a
bottom
depth
of
negative
two
and
the
side
slopes.
As
you
see,
there
are
starting
to
be
formed
up
in
a
nice
uniform
manner
to
the
right.
There
I
believe
this
is
under
the
us-61
blur
Bridge,
so
it
deploys
some
geotextile
fabric
and
these
they're
actually
hand
placing
the
rip
wrap
under
there,
because
that
was
really
the
most
cost
effective,
Believe,
It
or
Not
way
of
deploying
the
rip
rap.
M
Here's
some
more
rip
wrap
on
the
left.
That's
on
sure,
which
was
that
Brian
Road
Maybe
Marshawn.
I
Okay,
you.
M
Can
see
kind
of
what
the
rip
rap
is
going
to
look
like
on
the
edges
of
the
bank
of
the
bridge
itself
or
taking
and
protecting
all
those
pilings
with
the
red
rat
material?
You
can
also
see
where
the
drain
lines
enter:
New,
River,
they're,
getting
a
treatment
where,
where
they've
been
extended
further
into
the
bank,
we're
deploying
rip
raft
there
to
prevent
erosion
and
whatnot
going
into
the
future.
I
A
K
A
Second,
by
Mr
Lambert
to
approve
Item
B.
Are
there
any
questions?
Further
questions,
any
objections:
hearing
none
that
motion
passes
item
C
approval
of
amendment
number,
eight
to
the
master
contract
between
H
Davis
Cole
and
each
essential
drainage
to
amend
the
scope
of
work
to
include
Technical
Services
for
New
River,
Canal
project
control
structure
at
New,
River
and
us-61,
the
tilting
Weir
concept,
construction
management
and
Resident
inspection
services
for
additional
amount
of
hundred
and
sixty
four
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
six
dollars
for
a
new
Total
contract
amount
of
777
255
dollars.
Excuse
me:
255..
A
I
I
M
This
Project's
on
schedule,
I,
believe
the
contract
ends
and
sometime
in
May
and
what
we
should
be
done
in
the
next.
My
guess
is
two
three
weeks,
depending
on
the
railroad
cooperation.
M
Okay,
this
is
the
next
one,
the
New
River
tilting
wear
project.
This
is
going
to
install
a
new
tilting
wear.
If
you
look
in
the
picture
here,
that's
the
existing
sheep
haul,
we're
at
New
River,
that's
going
to
be
replaced
with
a
concrete
structure
with
a
a
weird
that
will
be
adjustable
from
a
low
level
of
negative
two
to
a
high
level
of
plus
two
I
believe
or
plus
three
I.
Think
it's
a
plus
three
so
allowing
flexibility
in
the
operation
of
the
the
canal
system.
M
M
J
M
M
They
were
the
the
lowest
at
2.2
million,
which
was
right
right
in
line
with
what
we
had
estimated.
The
notice
to
proceed
has
been
issued,
it's
effective
on
March,
the
13th,
which
I
believe
is
Monday
construction.
H
M
I
suspect,
you'll
see
actual
activity
out
there.
Adele
will
be
Monday,
but
they
said
they
were
going
to
bring
some
equipment
out,
but
in
within
the
next
several
weeks.
M
So
given
the
365,
the
project
scheduled
to
be
substantially
complete
on
March,
the
12th
2024
and
something
that
was
added
during
kind
of
during
the
bid
phase.
Is
we've
integrated
this
project
in
with
the
parish
wad
scada
system,
which
the
Administration
has
been
constructing
and
integrating
into
all
projects
moving
forward.
So
that's
why
you
see
the
the
scale
design
in
here.
This
is
something
that
was
added
only
later
and
I.
Believe
that's
it
for
that.
One.
A
N
Was
I
was
just
wondering
I
know,
we've
been
checking
gauges
and
doing
different
things,
and
this
this
amount
removed
in
so
many
districts
that
involve
with
it.
How
are
we
looking
have
y'all
seen
any
change
or
the
production
of
water
levels
and
in
the
New
River.
D
So
we
will
have
two
structures
being
able
to
manipulate
New
River,
which
therefore
reduces
and
create
and
creates
capacity
and
Grand
Garden
in
the
three
branches
which
branches
out
into
Geismar
Dutchtown,
as
well
as
South
Prairieville,
and
so
that
will
help
reduce
those
levels
as
well.
Creating
additional
capacities
throughout
the
entire
system
through
the
eastern
part.
No
excuse
me
to
the
western
part
of
Marvin
Pro
basin.
N
D
No,
no
just
excited
to
see
the
project
getting
started.
It's
going
to
be
a
new
type
structure.
These
are
tilting
downward
instead
of
lifting
upward
and
so
provides
us
a
little
bit
ability
to
go
from
three
to
two
or
you
know
three
to
one
or
three
to
zero.
So
we
have
some
flexibility
in
a
lot
of
these
Gates.
D
We
could
open
one
rather
than
or
open
all
of
them,
so
it
provides
us
a
lot
of
flexibility
with
this
particular
structure,
so
excited
to
see
it
constructed,
as
well
as
the
camera
system
and
the
scada.
So
we
can
monitor
all
those
water
levels
through
our
Central
Command
Center
and
it's
just
a
it'll,
be
a
great
project
at
the
end
and
excited
to
show
the
public.
What
we're
creating
here.
L
No
I
mean
I
just
second,
what
the
President
says:
I'm
excited
to
be
part
of
this
I
think
this
actually
closes
the
door
to
why
we
did
the
dredging
in
the
whole.
First
phase
of
this
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
time
and
we're
already
utilizing
I
think
the
the
gate
valves
calibrated
everything
invalidated
a
lot
of
things
for
us
and
I'm
just
excited
to
see
this
come
to
fruition.
So
thank
you
guys
for
the
support.
F
I'm
not
so
I
was
just
going
to
make
a
point
out.
I
would
like
to
see
a
presentation
on
that,
because
I
think
that
all
ties
into
I
was
thinking
about
this.
Last
time
we
were
talking
about
operating
free
procedures
for
the
pump
station
capacity,
I
mean
we've
done
all
the
you
know.
Hntv's
done
all
this
surveying,
you
should
be
able
to
tie
the
volumes
and
the
rainfall
all
that
should
be
able
to
be
tied
together,
not
not
tomorrow,
but
we
should
be
working
towards
that
because
to
me
all
this
money
we're
spending
on
scada.
F
The
tilting
Weir
should
tie
back
into
pump
pumping
Pump
Station
operation
I
mean
yes,
all
these
volumes
rates
flows.
All
that
should
be
so
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
waxback
any
objections
hearing
none
that
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir
item
D
acceptance
of
a
lowest
responsive
bid
with
ERS
Incorporated
and
to
approve
the
parish
president
to
enter
into
any
applicable
agreement
or
contract
in
reference
to
the
channel
improvements
at
sides
by
you,
the
courthouse,
lateral
and
by
you
Francois
Devin.
Thank
you.
Welcome.
A
C
A
A
A
L
We
didn't
really
have
an
agenda
item
for
this,
but
I
thought
it
was
relevant
to
bring
up.
We
did
have
the
pre-construction
last
week
for
the
the
Shadows
at
manchac
subdivision
drainage
repairs.
So
that's
that's
moving
forward
as
well.
You
know
Jared
and
I
met
with
the
HOA
the
contractor
and
noticed
a
proceed
to
be
issued
on
that
next
week
as
well.
A
P
P
So
the
goal
is
Project
is
to
increase
the
pumping
capacity
at
the
station.
Infinity
is
the
prime
engineer
on
this.
We
also
had
subconsultants
in
the
beginning
of
the
project.
Quality
did
survey,
H
study
and
the
benefit
cost
analysis.
Gulf
South
did
Geotech
elos
helped
with
permitting
and
environmental
analysis.
All
those
steps
are
done.
We
are
in
the
end
stages
of
the
design
so
that
they
were
on
the
team
and
are
on
the
scene,
but
they
are
not
active
at
this
point.
P
P
Currently
it
is
pumping
down
to
negative
three:
the
expansion
we're
going
to
extend
the
building
and
install
two
75
000
diesel
driven
right
angle,
gear
pumps.
So
we
are
doubling
the
capacity
of
the
station
to
300,
300,
000
gallons
per
minute.
P
P
P
The
Palm
train,
like
I,
said
we're
doing
two
additional
25
up:
sorry,
75,
000
gallons
per
minute
pumps,
which
are
very
they're
similar
to
the
existing.
They
just
have
a
little
bit
more
capacity
and
then
at
the
bottom
of
the
train
is
the
form
suction
intake
which
is
going
to
help
with
the
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
going
to
help
with
the
intake
of
the
water.
It
also
is
going
to
provide
the
opportunity
to
pump
down
to
negative
six,
but
the
canal
surrounding
the
existing
station
currently
are
too
high
for
that
they
need
to
be
dredged.
P
P
The
new
building's
going
adjacent
to
the
existing
building
two
pumps
housed
in
it
we're
going
to
relocate
the
office
building,
relocate
the
sewage
treatment
plant
I
mean
I'm,
sorry,
the
sewage
treatment
unit.
So
where
are
we
now?
We
in
the
middle
of
February
submitted
a
revised
90
submittal,
the
parish
and
HTTP
have
reviewed
it.
We
received
comments
at
the
end
of
February.
P
We
are
in
the
process
of
responding
to
those
comments,
I'm
hoping
to
respond
to
those
comments
this
week,
at
the
same
time
we're
working
towards
a
100
set
of
documents,
we're
also
going
to
be
coordinating
with
representatives
from
the
parish
and
each
and
to
be,
and
the
scada
system
contractor
to
discuss
opportunities
to
add
to
the
design
to
prevent
any
failures
that
happened
at
Marvin
bro.
So
that
is
why
it's
going
to
take
from
February
to
April
to
do
100
construction
documents.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
if
we
want
to
add
anything.
O
P
So
I'm,
actually
not
the
original
project
manager.
I
can't
tell
you
the
exact
date.
It
is
a
20
number
for
us,
so
sometime
in
2020.,
it
was
put
on
hold
last
year,
while
the
parish
considered
potentially
doing
an
electric
pumping
station.
P
There
we
go
so
we
we
visited
some
existing
pump
stations
considered
maybe
going
to
electric
pumps
instead
of
diesel
that
took
a
little
bit.
We
ended
up
staying
with
diesel
at
the
direction
of
Asian
TV,
so
we
picked
back
up.
90
agent
TB
also
came
into
this
I
believe
as
program
managers
for
the
parish
for
the
drainage
system.
So
we
received
additional
comments
when
they
joined
the
team.
Our
revised
90
in
February
in
February
address
their
comments.
I'm.
C
A
And
I
do
hope.
I
heard
you
correctly
that
you're
going
to
make
sure
that
whatever's
there
does
not
allow
for
a
similar
kind
of
disaster
that
happened
at
Marvin
Pro.
Yes,.
P
P
N
The
increase
on
the
diesel
have,
we
ever
exceeded
on
what
we
would
have
been
had
in
the
past
or
why
we
need
so
much
capacity
on
this
because
of
the
extra
General
pumps
or
what.
L
No
I
think
we
were
fine
with
the
existing
station
and
there's
a
requirement
that
you
have
a
reserve
to
run.
If
you
can't
get
fuel
of
that
station
for
x,
amount
of
period
of
time,
I
think
there's
an
engineering
formula
for
that
and
it
warranted
the
increase
for
the
capacity
there.
You
think
you're
supposed
to
be
able
to
run
for
a
week
without
Supply
somewhere's
around
that
timeline.
P
A
I
R
Q
Right
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
get
going
on
the
Grant
status.
I
mentioned
this.
Last
month
we
have
submitted
three
grants
on
their
hmgp
program:
the
Savoy
Arena
retrofit
the
listed
here,
lateral
attention
and
black
body
detention.
We
just
passed
a
month.
We
submitted
an
RFI
on
the
Savoy
Arena
went
retrofit
to
go
so
have
to
ask
for
for
additional
information,
and
we
got
that
done.
Two
brick
applications
Bird
Island,
this
Improvement
and
detention
at
the
Mario
Bureau
at
lateral,
but
continue
to
monitor
upcoming
2023,
no
folks
notice
of
funding
opportunities.
Q
There
was
an
lwi
around
two
application
webinar
today
at
one
o'clock
we
got
some
additional
guidance
on
the
pre-application
survey,
which
opens
on
March,
13th
and
pre-applications
are
due
on
May
1st.
So
we
intend
to
meet
with
Ron
and
staff
at
Ascension
Parish
and
get
some
of
those
grants
going.
Q
Marvin
broke
competition,
Levy
expansion,
the
pseudo
Hartman,
was
the
winning
team.
On
that
effort,
we
held
a
kickoff
meeting
on
February,
the
9th
we're
coordinating
with
McKenna
Creek
for
the
tie-in
at
the
LA
22,
which
is
on
Northern
end
to
ensure
that
the
roadway
is
at
the
at
the
very
least
at
the
height
of
the
Levee
Crossing
that
feature
right.
There,
we've
had
received
Sam
and
Louisiana
Secretary
of
State
certifications
from
the
Hartman
team,
so
they're
in
order
they're
preparing
them
an
hour
and
fee
estimate
for
review.
Q
We
expect
to
get
that
in
the
next
couple
couple
of
days
and
then
we're
scheduling.
Finally,
with
a
schedule
of
meeting
with,
goes
up
in
the
office
of
Community
Development
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
correct
guidance
from
them
as
far
as
invoicing
and
any
other
documentation,
they
may
need
we're.
Also,
we
have
been
working
with
Iran.
This
is
something
that
you
know
very
near
and
dear
to
Ron.
This
is
a
capital
projects,
tracking
Tool.
Q
What
you
see
there
says
as
an
example
on
the
far
left,
we'll
have
all
the
projects
listed
and
you
will
have
drop
down
dialog
boxes
with
individual
tasks
that
are
attached
to
the
major
test.
What
you're?
Looking
at
here
is
just
major
tasks
for
all
of
these
projects.
Q
You
know
we'll
track
them
all
we're
taking
action
items
for
each
Capital
project
for
project
history
and
documentation,
Gathering
critical
project
files
at
one
central
location
and
eventually
organize
this
with
the
ability
to
create
an
outward
facing
database,
slash
dashboard
that
Ron
and
staff
can
use
to
go,
look
and
track
the
pro
the
progress
on
any
project
at
any
given
time
on
a
capital
project
side.
So.
I
Q
D
So
we'll
be
moving
with
adapt
to
go
for
round
two
of
lwi,
so
we're
going
to
be
getting
together
and
hustling
up
some
some
projects
to
submit.
We
would
like
to
take
the
opportunity
of
this
particular
governors
last
year
in
office,
and
hopefully
he
will
be
looking
to
support
a
lot
of
these
drainage
projects
in
the
region,
especially
due
to
2016
and
lwi
1.2
billion
dollars.
That
was
given
and
then
spread
across
the
state
through
the
regions,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
get
those
projects
in
and
those
deadlines
are
coming
up.
D
A
D
I
think
so,
with
with
the
degree
of
some
of
these
projects,
that
are
that
the
impact
is
felt
certainly
in
multiple
parishes
that
that
that
that
criteria
may
be
met,
we're
going
to
submit
as
much
as
we
can
and
and
take
a
shot
and
make
sure
that
at
least
that
you
know
we're
on
the
list
and
so
we'll
obviously
be
focused
on
some
West
Bank
projects
as
well
certainly
fits
that
criteria
and
so,
but
we'll
be
pushing
as
many
projects
as
we
possibly
can
that
we
believe
fit
that
criteria
or
closely
fit
that
criteria.
D
Q
Yeah
there
will
be
some
opportunities,
also
there's
a
stipulation
that
if
you
have
a
regional
project
and
that
that
project
impacts
or
benefits
low
to
moderate
income
areas
in
the
surrounding
areas
that
it
would
probably
qualify
as
well.
So
there's
some
greedy
criteria
that
they're
going
to
use
so
I'm
hopeful
that
yeah
we'll
get
something
that
will.
A
Q
If
I
stand,
if
I
understand
the
process
a
little
bit
better,
this
time
around
they've
streamlined
the
process
to
have
something
called
a
survey.
It's
not
really
a
survey.
It's
such
a
pre-application
screening
where
they
will
help
the
municipalities
along
the
way
and
give
you
additional
guns,
they're,
trying
to
short
that
time.
Q
So,
like
the
the
deadline
is
May
1st,
but
then
they
have
some
additional
Milestones
along
the
way
they're
going
to
match.
So,
hopefully,
they'll
stick
to
their
guidance
that
we
could
probably
I
believe
the
intent
is
to
shorten
that
duration.
A
So
my
other
question
would
be
along
the
same
lines.
Our
governor
has
only
one
year
remaining
if
he
makes
all
those
decisions
or
is
in
the
process
of
making
those
decisions,
and
then
it's
no
longer
in
office
and
a
new
Administration
comes
in
is
there?
Is
there
anything
that
ties
those
funds
up
and
we
don't
see
a
change
when
there's
a
new
governor,
a
new
Administration.
D
I
I
would
be
very
surprised
if
these
projects,
on
whatever
criteria,
fit
that
a
new
governor
would
pull
funding
from
any
Parish
or
municipality
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
devastating
political
move.
So
once
these
are
awarded
and
announced,
I
would
think
they're
I'm,
not
going
to
say
100
solid,
but
I
would
think
they're
pretty
solid,
I
I,
wouldn't
I
would
anticipate.
We
should
get
an
announcement
before
the
end
of
the
year
of
of
projects
being
funded.
D
I
I
feel
that
several
departments,
dotd
cpra
and
others-
are
all
jointly
working
in
that
direction,
and
so
I
would
anticipate
that
this.
This
Administration
under
John,
Bel
Edwards,
is,
is
working
diligently
and
will
be
over
the
next
few
months
to
start
lining
out
and
and
hopefully
making
those
announcements
and
hopefully
having
Ascension
perish
in
in
those
announcements
but
I
sense.
The
people
I
talk
to
that
that
that
is
the
case
that
they
are
all
Gathering
working
together.
Coordinating
for
that
for
that
to
happen,
that
seems
to
be
the
word.
D
That's
out
there
so
I'm
going
to
reach
out
to
pld
and
make
those
suggestions
to
them
too,
as
well
to
make
sure
that
that
their
their
projects
for
Ascension
Parish
or
on
whatever
list
they
can
put
them
on
over
the
next
nine
ten
months.
Here.
A
A
G
We
bring
you
to
February
23
report,
a
short
report
kept
the
picks
out
for
you
try
to
move
the
night
on
for
us,
so
we're
maintaining
about
53
percent.
G
It's
been
a
trend
for
a
year
now,
I,
don't
see
us
moving
really
too
much
ahead,
we're
working
on
our
work
order
system
to
maybe
identify
where
we
have
multiple
work
orders
in
certain
areas
that
could
certainly
change
those
numbers
just
due
to
it's
a
bigger
project,
not
just
an
individual
complaint
and
I-
think
that's
what
our
our
customers
out
there
deserve
as
to
to
get
these
projects,
not
these
individuals.
G
J
G
We're
just
we're
maintaining
a
stable
area
at
the
moment.
Work
orders
by
Department,
we
see
most
of
ours
in
minor
drainage,
which
is
roadside
ditches
culverts.
Oh
all
of
these
deservatives
Behind
these
homes
we
do
most
of
our
major
drainage
is,
is
done
by
by
y'all
or
by
Administration.
G
So
we
don't
see
that
come
in
the
work
order
system,
so
you're
gonna
see
very
low
numbers
there,
but
minor
drainage
of
we
have
six
Crews,
two
managers
so
they're
doing
very
well,
but
right
now
our
focus
is,
is
trying
to
combine
and
see
where
we
can
move
to
projects
on
these
things
to
really
push
our
our
department
at
a
new
level
and
and
a
new
level
of
service.
G
I
G
It
probably
has
60
different
activities
in
it,
so
it's
very
hard
to
give
it
in
a
presentation,
but
for
the
most
part,
digging
roadside
ditches
and
these.
These
smaller
off-road
ditches
in
that
minor
drainage
is
the
majority
of
we.
What
we
get
complaints
about,
along
with
culvert's
in
between
work,
orders,
new
work
orders
in
the
month
where
70,
136
I'm
sorry
went
72
being
completed
in
February,
and
we
move
on
to
our
projects,
major
drainage,
a
complete
we
finished.
G
Reading
Highway
936
is
split
log
completed
upper
Gooding,
past
Calico,
Road
and
shredding
from
Highway
936
to
Heath
Bayou
in
progress
right
now,
we're
still
working
on
Gooding
laterals,
but
the
upper
Gooding,
lateral
tier
three
were
finished
from
Ferdinand
Road,
Dallas
Kling
and
it
from
Alice
cleaning
we're
going
on
going
to
Old
Mill
shredding
behind
Central
High
School,
beginning
The,
Shred
Smith
buy
you
at
I-10
and
they're
digging
plug
bro,
ditch
at
Kling
Road.
At
the
moment.
G
G
We're
able
to
take
some
of
our
other
Crews
move
them,
spread
three
or
four
machines
out
and
have
four
jobs
going
at
one
time,
bringing
a
life
House
member
in
and
taking
our
guys
where
we
get
the.
D
Orders
put
in,
we
have
a
hundred
dollars,
so
we
will
always
see
a
spike
in
spring
and
summer
and
usually
we
try
to
catch
up
after
so
you're
you're,
not
you're,
going
to
see
more
come
in
and
as
as
the
growing
season
gets
more
intense
and
the
work
orders
come
in
quicker
and
faster.
So
we're
going
to
see
a
spike.
D
Going
to
be
able
to
keep
up,
it
always
goes
beyond
what
we
can
do
and
we
just
get
as
many
as
we
can
and
efficiently
as
we
can
to
get
them
done,
but
they
will
come
in
the
summer
months
more
than
we
can
handle
them.
P
C
Yeah,
thank
you
just
it
all
looked
good.
So
far,
I'm
still
getting
a
lot
of
calls
from
individuals
that
said,
they've
submitted
work
orders
and
they
don't
hear
anything
I'd
really
like
to
see
his
work
on
Communications.
It's
not
just
this
department,
I
mean
it's
code
enforcement
I
get
a
lot
of
calls
on
that
I
think.
C
Sometimes
these
are
closed
and
they're
not
made
aware
of
why
and
a
lot
of
times
it's
legitimate
reasons
either
it's
something
that
we
can't
handle
or
it's
something
that's
outside
of
the
realm
of
our
responsibility,
but
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
these
people
are
advised
as
to
what's
going
on
when
they
call
in
because
what
I
hear
is
well
I
submitted
a
work
order
and
nothing.
Nobody
ever
contacted
me.
I
looked
it
up
and
it's
it's
closed
now,
so
we
can
work
on
the
communication
side
of
that
that'd
be
good.
Yes,.
E
I'll,
take
that
as
a
compliment,
I,
guess
all
right,
so
moving
on,
we
were
actually
able
to.
We
spent
three
weeks
in
February
on
our
second
annual
cross
training
event.
E
We
set
up
our
mowing
Crews
along
the
Laurel
Ridge
Levee,
and
actually
gave
some
real
world
a
real
world
training
area.
Last
year
we
were
able
to
do
it
at
Lamar
Dixon.
This
time
we
actually
were
able
to
put
a
little
bit
more
planning
and
thought
process
into
this
to
get
them
out
on
actual
areas
that
they
would
be
cutting
on.
E
Some
of
our
outcomes
on
this
we
did
identifying
new
employees.
We
hired
in
2022
that
are
now
have
learned
the
skills
and
they're
going
to
be
our
new
Trainers
for
next
year's
event.
We
are
able
to
solidify
our
method
for
training
our
methane
and
training
materials,
to
train
and
evaluate
all
new
hires
correctly
within
our
probationary
period,
and
also
reinforced
our
mission
to
be
safe,
effective
and
efficient.
E
An
update
on
our
state
highway
contract
on
our
first
spring
cycle,
cutting
we're
at
25
percent
herbicide
application.
We
just
finished
a
few
weeks
ago,
we're
at
a
hundred
percent
litter
is
currently
at
31.
E
Some
work
order,
metrics
from
the
call
center.
On
the
month
of
February,
we
received
27
New
requests,
that's
a
very
low
number
we're
in
the
lull
of
the
early
spring
hand.
Cleaning
and
servitude
is
out
in
front
is
normal
and
you
can
see
what
are
all
the
other
stuff
that's
come
in.
E
Some
data
Trend,
since
we
started
this
program
in
April
of
last
year,
you
can
see
how
much
we're
able
to
complete
we're
now
approaching
on
our
one
year
mark
and
then
can
actually
show
the
entire
year.
Year's
work
call
center
overall
status.
This
is
a
department
wine,
we're
at
72
percent
completion
on
everything
that
comes
in
from
the
Public's
request
around
I
think
it
was
December.
We
were
looking
at
around
50
or
so
percent.
We're
actually
able
to
close
the
gap
pretty
good
before
our
next
growing
season.
E
Work
orders:
this
is
stuff
that
my
supervisors
see
that's
not
particularly
addressed
or
requested
by
residents,
spraying
Paris
roads
tree
to
be
removal
and
other
hand,
cleaning
stuff
that
Mr
ellerslard
and
his
guys
see
it's
out
in
front
of
data
trend
on
that
as
we're
becoming
more
productive.
R
All
right,
thank
you,
chairwoman.
Thank
you,
sir
I'd,
like
to
tonight
ask
James
to
come
up
too,
and
and
Ron
and
and
Jade
are
going
to
also
participate.
So
we
have
a
slideshow
here
and
walk
me
through
it.
Jared
I
have
it
yeah
yeah.
R
We're
going
to
use
a
format
that
you
guys
presented
to
us,
which
is
a
safety
update
on.
What's
been
done,
there,
employees
they've
been
trying
to
respond
or
properly
equipped
to
do
an
emergency
standard
operating
procedure,
defining
a
plan
of
action
to
ensure
the
employees
have
a
written
operating
procedure
for
pumping
station
and
clear
chain
of
command
and
Equipment
safety.
What
has
been
done
to
ensure
that
all
Pumps
and
Equipment
are
protected
from
failure?
S
S
So
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
what
has
been
done:
safety
wise
at
Marvin
bro
since
you
met
last
one
of
the
biggest
things
that
you
see.
First,
is
hats
off
to
our
Parish
president:
hats
off
to
the
administration
for
saying
we
got,
we
got
to
build
a
baseline.
We
got
to
know
where
we
are
where,
where
we're
gonna,
we
don't
know
where
we're
gonna
go
unless
we
know
where
we've
been
or
what
the
Baseline
of
Marvin
bro
is.
So
what
they
asked
me
to
do
was
hey.
S
Who
can
we
bring
in
that?
Can
do
a
full
assessment
of
Marvin
broad
pumping
stations,
so
we
would
know
where
we
need
to
go
so
we
brought
in
the
Louisiana
State
Fire,
Marshal's,
Office
people
y'all,
know
I
come
from
a
30-year
career
in
Industry
people.
Don't
invite
these
people
into
their
house,
our
Administration
said
we
want
them
into
our
house
and
we
want
them
to
do
a
full
assessment
of
Marvin
bro.
So
on
February
27th
we
brought
him
in
and
they
they
sent
two
guys
I.
S
Think
what
I
think
what
was
impressive
to
me
is
the
State
Fire
Marshal's
Office.
Didn't
even
know
where
the
Baldwin
bro
pumper
station
was
I,
don't
know
it
was
the
last
time
they
ever
even
made
it
there
we
had
to.
We
had
to
meet
him
in
Sorrento
and
escort
him.
There.
I
didn't
even
know
where
it
was
so
they
sent
two
guys
to
us
on
February
27th.
S
They
got
to
the
Marvin
bro
pumper
station
at
8
30
in
the
morning,
and
they
stayed
there
till
noon
and
they
went
through
every
aspect
of
the
Marvin
broad
pumping
station.
Every
fuel
line,
every
emergency
response
equipment
that
we
had
there
and
I
was
very
impressed
with
their
findings
and
and
I
can
definitely
fall
with
y'all
the
full
report,
but
basically
what
the
fire
marshal
said
was
because
before
we
brought
the
fire
marshal
in,
we
had
brought
another
company
in
to
do
a
full
assessment
on
the
fire
alarm
system
and
the
vertical
alarm
system.
I.
S
Think
Jay
brought
you
all
up
to
date
on
that
at
the
last
meeting.
So
basically,
what
the
fire
marshal
said
is
hey.
We
we
want
to
make
sure
that
before
you
make
any
improvements
to
this
fire
alarm
system
or
this
burglar
alarm
system
at
Morgan
bro
that
we
have
a
full
schematic
of
what
y'all
going
to
do.
We
want
to
see
these
schematic
before
you
do
it
and
then
we
want
to
come
back
and
look
at
it.
When
you
finish
so
we
were
impressed
with
that.
S
One
of
the
things
that
they
did
say
was
that
they
and
and
the
sprinkler
system
what
one
of
the
things
they
said
was
hey.
We
we
see
it
at
your
sprinkler
system,
maybe
being
inspected
by
a
company,
but
we
don't
see
the
proper
tags
on
it.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
work
we're
working
on,
so
we
we
we're
working
on
trying
to
figure
out
why
these
sprinkler
system
at
Marvin,
bro
wasn't
properly
Tagged.
S
So,
and
you
don't
find
these
things
until
you
until
you
bring
the
company
in
to
to
to
find
it
to
help
us
with
that.
So
I
was
impressed
with
that.
I
was
even
more
impressed
that
that
our
Administration
said
hey
bring
them
in.
Let's
let
them
go
through
the
whole
thing
and
there
wasn't
any
Stones
unturned
when
the
Fire
Marshal's
Office
came
in
now.
One
of
the
things
they
did
put
on
the
report
was
that
they
in
the
future.
S
They
want
to
look
at
the
firewall
system
between
the
the
room
that
the
people
sit
in
versus.
You
know
the
actual
engine
room
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
proper
firewall
between
our
employees
and
and
the
equipment.
So
they
didn't
write
us
up
for
that
or
they
didn't
gig
us
for
it,
but
they
said
it's
something
they
definitely
want
to
look
at
in
the
future.
So
again,
that's
all
for
for
for
that.
So
let
me
make
sure
I'm
doing
this
right
Jarius.
S
So,
since
y'all
met
last,
we
have
done
some
field
assessments
at
Marvin
bro.
We
done
them
on
a
February
23rd.
We
did
them
again
on
February
25th
and
we
did
them
again
on
March
2nd
when
I
say
field
assessments,
we
we
went
to
Morgan
bro
and
we
spent
several
hours
over
there
making
sure
that
we
went
through
the
whole
entire
process
when
it
comes
to
safety,
not
leaving
anything
unturned
and
again,
the
Louisiana
State
Fire
Marshal's
Office
came
in
on
February
27th.
I
S
Are
some
of
the
things
that's
been
done?
I
don't
know
when's
the
last
time
all
of
y'all
I
know
y'all
made
some
trips
out
there
when
y'all
was
first
elected,
but
fuel
lines
were
rerouted
from
the
new
catwalk
area.
So
when
you
would
go
up
to
these
big
fuel
tanks,
you
had
to
you
had
to
go
up
and
buy
a
ladder.
S
Now
the
the
the
administration
and
the
leadership
team
has
built
a
catwalk
where
you
can
actually
walk
on
top
of
these
fuel
tanks
on
top
of
a
catwalk
and
not
have
to
climb
a
ladder
very,
very
impressive.
So
we
had
to
in
order
to
do
that,
we
had
to
reroute
some
fuel
lines
to
make
sure
that
the
fuel
lines
were
out
the
way,
so
they
could
build
a
catwalk.
S
So
now,
when
you
go
to
Marvin
Pro,
you
can
go
right
up
the
stairs
and
go
right
up
to
the
top
of
the
tanks
and
not
have
to
climb
a
ladder.
Fuel
storages
are
now
properly
marked
within
MPA
labels.
Well,
Council
I
was
embarrassed
that,
just
like
you
were
that
these
fuel
storages
were
out
there
for
as
long
as
they
were,
and
it
wasn't
even
marked
they
didn't
have
NFPA
labels.
They
didn't
have
the
proper
placards.
They
are
now
properly
placard,
they
are
properly
labeled
and
the
Fire
Marshal's
Office
could
not
start
praised.
S
Could
not
stop
praising
enough
for
that
emergency
lights.
On
top,
the
fuel
storage
is
now
work.
S
New
lockout
tag
out
boxes
were
installed,
so
now
we
can
actually
lock
equipment
out,
and
then
we
can
lock
the
the
keys
in
the
proper
lock
boxes,
so
somebody
doesn't
go
start
up
a
pump
or
go
start
something
up
when
somebody's
working
on
it.
New
Iowa
stations
have
now
been
installed.
Never
in
the
history
of
Marvin
broad
pumping
station
have
we
had
hot
water
stations.
Now
we
have
our
war
stations.
S
All
leaders,
employees
involved
in
these
in
what's
been
done
since
the
December
incident
need
to
be
commended.
It's
been
a
lot
of
work.
A
lot
of
work
done
here,
proper
signage.
Now,
when
you
go
to
the
Marvin
bro
pumping
station,
there's
proper
signs-
and
it
tells
you
where
your
eye
protection
is
tells
you
where
your
hearing
protection
is
there's
also
a
sign
now
that,
if
you're
a
visitor,
it
tells
you
exactly
who
to
contact
before
you
even
enter
the
facility.
S
New
new
hearing,
protection
signs
and
PPE
signs
are
now
installed
at
the
facility.
This
is
one
of
my
number
one
pet
peeves
fuel
valves
are
now
fuel
bottles.
Not
in
operation
are
now
locked
out.
I
was
always
concerned
about
somebody
going
to
Marvin
bro
at
night
time
when
somebody
wasn't
there
jumping
over
the
fence,
opening
up
fuel,
Valves
and
letting
diesel
go
to
the
Waterway.
Now.
J
S
All
valves
that
are
not
being
that
are
not
in
operation
are
all
locked
out.
New
water
rescue
equipment's
been
bought.
So
now
we
have
new
ropes
new
rafts.
So
if
anybody
falls
in
the
water,
we
got
them
all
at
all
at
the
facility
to
be
able
to
get
people
out
the
water
if
they
should
fall
in
the
water.
S
S
I
think
one
of
the
things
I
was
very
impressed
with
when
I
made
my
assessments,
because
now
we
have
startup
and
shutdown
procedures,
laminated
procedures
at
every
single
pump.
So
when
a
guy
goes
to
that
pump,
he's
got
a
laminated
procedure
sitting
in
front
of
him
and
it
tells
him
how
to
start
that
pump
and
it
tells
him
how
to
shut
that
pump
down,
and
it's
sitting
right
there
at
the
pump
because,
as
you
know,
because
you've
been
there
one
two
three
four
and
five
are
the
same.
But
six
and
seven
are
different.
S
Now
we
have
procedures
at
the
pump,
so
they
don't
even
have
to
go.
Look
for
the
procedure.
It's
sitting
right
there
at
the
pump.
We
now
have
all
the
new
proper
safety
data
sheets
on
hand.
So
when
our
Regulatory
Agencies
come
to
us
and
they
want
to
know
what
kind
of
chemicals
we
have
at
Marvin
Pro,
the
SDS
sheets
are
waiting
for
them
all.
55
gallon
drums
and
you'll
see
a
picture
here
shortly
because
there's
about
15
or
20
of
them
all
of
them
are
in
over
packed
drums.
What
does
that
mean?
S
That
means
if
a
drum
starts
leaking,
it
doesn't
get
to
all
water
weight,
because
it's
inside
of
an
overpacked
drum
every
one
of
our
overpacked
drums
are
now
properly
labeled.
That
way,
you
can
walk
right
up
to
an
over
packed
drum
and
know
exactly
what's
in
that
drum
all
out
ladders
or
in
the
facility
are
now
in
one
location
they
all
tied
off
so
they're,
not
in
a
location
where
they
can
fall
bump
a
valve
open
or
something
out
like
that.
S
S
Anybody
can
bump
an
air
valve
with
a
ladder
or
anything
like
that
and
shut
the
valve
off
and
and
we
have
the
same
issue,
we
had
on
December
30th
with
a
losing
air
pressure,
because
somebody
was
walking
through
an
Alleyway
with
a
ladder
and
bumped
a
valve
and
shut
the
valve
off,
and
then
we
have
low
air
pressure
and
then,
of
course,
all
the
proper
signage
there
I
think
the
next
slide
slide
might
be.
Some
pictures
and
those
pictures
roll
real,
quick.
They
don't
stop
and
you'll
see.
S
Some
of
the
pictures
of
that
we
took
while
we
were
doing
these
assessments
am
I
right
on
that
I'm
gonna.
Try
it
again,
I'm
gonna
go
I'm.
Gonna,
go
back
this
one
right
here,
all
right,
so
new
for
the
facility
now
has
extra
booms,
all
paths
and
absorbent
paths
throughout
the
whole
entire
facility.
S
So
when
you
walk
through
the
Marvin
Pro
pumping
station
every
so
many
feet,
you
got
me
every
so
many
feet
is
an
absorbent
pad
and
a
boom
in
case
anything
gets
in
the
water
you'll
see
through
these
pictures
that
the
housekeeping
is
one
that
I've
never
seen
before.
It's
outstanding
and
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
see
how
we
always
tell
each
other.
S
Tell
our
people,
you
know
a
clean
environment
is
a
safe
environment
or
you'll,
see
cautions
signs
up,
you'll,
see
chains
across
all
of
our
doorways,
where
people
cannot
fall
out
of
an
open.
Doorway
you'll,
see
all
kind
of
new
machine
guarding
on
all
of
our
shafts.
If
you've
ever
worked
in
the
industrial
facility
before
you
know
that
walking
by
a
piece
of
equipment
with
a
moving
shaft,
it's
got
to
have
the
proper
machine.
Garden
emergency,
evacuation
lights
are
all
working
every
single
place
that
we
have
high
voltage.
S
We
play
Signs,
letting
our
employees
know
that
there's
high
voltage
there
and,
like
I
said
pumps
not
being
used,
are
now
properly
locked
out
at
the
control
panel.
So
if
we're
working
on
a
pump
or
something
like
that,
there's
no
chance
of
getting
an
employee
hurt
because
it's
properly
locked
out
I
think
the
next
one
might
be
pitchers
and
the
pictures
just
roll
safety
gates.
So
when
we
first
started
doing
these
assessments,
they
have
some
some
openings
in
the
floor
way
where
an
employee
could
actually
fall
through
and
go
to
the
water.
S
So
we
actually
had
our
maintenance
Crews
come
in
and
build
gates
to
where
all
those
openings
were
all
closed
up
to
where
people
could
not
follow
through
and
go
straight
to
the
water
proper
barricade.
Tabs
tags
are
now
installed
excellent
job
clearing
all
the
walking
and
working
surfaces.
S
Also
we
after
the
December
30th
issue.
We
we
ordered
all
new
20-pound
fire
extinguishers
and
we
had
them
all
hung
up
throughout
the
whole
entire
facility.
If
you
remember,
when
the
the
pictures
were
coming
through
from
the
December
30th
incident,
we
had
five
pound
extinguishers.
We
had
two
pound
extinguishers.
We
had
10
pounds,
we
had
20
pounds,
we
took
every
one
of
those
out
and
we
we
filled
the
whole
entire
facility
up
with
20
pound
fire
extinguishers.
S
So
now,
when
you
fight
in
this
fire,
along
with
the
300
pound
of
wheel
units,
we
have
enough
on
site
for
that
now
and
currently
working
right
now,
we're
seriously
spending
a
lot
of
time
working
on
evacuation
plans
to
evacuate
the
facility.
If
we
have
to
I
keep
telling
you
all
about
these
pictures,
I.
O
S
There's
your
procedures,
your
laminated
procedures,
there's
your
high
voltage!
There's
your
lockouts!
There's
your
new
wheeled
units!
S
There's
your
housekeeping!
There's
your
emergency
lights!
There's
your
absorbent
pads!
There's
your
drum
labels!
There's
your
lockout
tag!
Outs!
There's
your
new
signs!
There's
your
new
chains!
So
I'll
end
by
saying
this.
We
all
know
that
this
pumping
station
has
been
in
operation
for
32
years,
since
1991.
S
I
can
tell
you
what
I
have
seen
over
the
last
30
to
40
days
has
been
very
impressive
as
far
as
getting
safety.
This
is
the
first
time
since
I've
been
hired
here
for
two
years.
That
I
can
honestly
say
this
facility
finally
looks
like
what
an
industrial
facility
should
look
like
when
it
comes
to
safety.
S
I
also
encourage
this
I
encourage
any
council
member
that
wants
to
make
a
ride
out
there
and
make
a
walk
through
that
my
door
is
always
open
and
I'll
meet
you
out
there.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
all
at
one
time.
I'll
meet
you
out
there
11
different
times.
If
you
want
but
I
think
if
you
walk
out
there
and
remember
what
you
saw
the
last
time,
you
was
there
and
see
what
you
see
now.
I
think
you
could
be
very,
very
impressed
at
what's
been
done
over
the
last
30
to
45
days.
I'll.
A
Be
taking
you
up
on
that
James
because
I
was
there
right
after
this
incident,
and
I
certainly
need
to
see
this
Improvement
if
I
may
take
the
opportunity
right
now,
I
want
to
thank
this
Commission
early
on
in
your
production.
Here
the
administration
was
acknowledged,
but
it
was
this
Commission
that
directed
that
these
assessments
be
done.
Yes,.
O
O
O
S
Yes,
so
I
would
like
I
said:
Miss
councilwoman,
Castle
I
would
really
really
love
to
take
all
of
you
on
a
walk
through
of
this
facility.
So
you
can
remember
what
you
saw
the
last
time
and
see
what
you
see
now
be.
R
Okay,
thank
you,
James.
You
know
really
and
James
he's
he's
good
at
at
making
things
that
are
good.
Look
better,
but
I
honestly
did
he
did
a
great
job
or
two
months
worth
of
work
there.
You
know
a
tremendous
amount
of
improvements
were
made.
Those
of
us
that
that
came
out
of
the
industry
I
mean
you
can
see.
You
wonder
why
you
know
things
weren't
there
all
the
all
along,
but
you
can't
go
back
and
look
at
that.
We
have
to
look
at
tomorrow.
What
what?
What
do
we
need
to
do
for
tomorrow?
R
So
next
we're
gonna
go
again.
I
have
to
I
have
to
press
this
thing,
so
the
first
part
we're
gonna.
The
next
part
we're
gonna
go
through
is
standard
operating
procedure,
defining
a
plant
action
to
ensure
the
employees
have
a
written
operating
procedure
for
pumping
station,
clear
chain
of
command.
So
again
that
was
the
second
bullet.
R
Oh
this
you
know
I
also,
you
know
we'll
double
up
on
James,
that
we
have
the
startup
procedures
and
that's
what
you're.
Looking
at
now
as
a
startup
procedures
and
as
James
said,
you
have
one
startup
procedure
for
pumps,
one
through
five
and
Marvin
bro
and
another
one
four
or
six
and
seven.
So
this
is
what
they
did
laminated,
that's
there
when
the
operator
goes
by
there
to
start
up,
shut
it
down,
it's
just
reached
down
there
and
read
that
and
make
sure
he
does
it.
R
Also
and
Jade
has
been
a
big
part
of
this,
which
is
checklist,
so
we
instituted
he
instituted
these
checklists.
So
you
have
pumping
and
non-pumping
checklist.
You
have
hourly
and
you
have
weekly
and
and
inspection
lists
they
bring.
These
These
are
scanned
in
they
go
into
a
database,
and
so
you
know
they'll
be
available
for
a
long
time.
Electronically.
R
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
pump
operation
parameters
and
and
Ron's
gonna,
you
know
kind
of
help
me
get
through
this.
So
when
we
looked
at
this
and
and
obviously
what
we're
talking
about
here
is-
is
that
how
low
how
low
a
level
can
you
can
you
still
pump
so
how
lower
level
on
the
suction
side
can
you
still
pump?
R
So
when
we
looked
at
this,
the
things
that
that
through
councilwoman
Castle,
which
is
you
know
what
does
a
core
permit
say,
what
is
the
mechanical
limits
on
what
it
can
do
and
what
are
the
operating
procedures
on
what
on
how
they
should
look?
Who
did
the
document,
search
and
and
Ron
is
a
big
part
of
this,
which,
in
1995
and
I'm,
going
to
show
you
these
documents?
Also
I,
don't
think
we
mentioned
this
in
the
beginning,
but
there's
a
file
folder.
Is
that
not
right
Ron?
L
R
So
if
you
ever,
if
you
know,
go
look
in
that,
if
you
will
first,
if
you're
looking
for
something,
but
you
know
certainly
contact
us
if
you
can't
find
it
so
then
you
have
a
Corps
of
Engineers
1996,
permit
renewal
and
a
2017
document
from
Marvin
bro.
This
is
a
standard
operating
procedure
for
the
pump
station
and
then
there's
an
actually
engineer
recommendation
for
the
mechanical
limitations
of
the
pump.
R
I'm
gonna,
let
Ron
kind
of
take
this,
and
let
him
talk
to
you
about
this,
the
McElroy
the
operational
plan.
This
is
a
as
you
can
see
a
1995
document
and
it
was
done
by
Cheyenne
and
Associates.
But
Ronald
talked
to
you
about
its
relationship
to
the
to
a
core
permit.
L
Sure
the
the
last
drainage
board
meeting
good
evening,
commission
I,
had
mentioned
this
document
to
you
guys
and
and
read
a
couple
Clauses
out
of
it.
I
think
they're
very,
very
important
to
paint
a
true
picture
from
the
time
that
the
pumping
station
came
online
in
1991
and
two
today.
So
the
first
paragraph
it
talks
about
the
McIlroy
Pump
Station
being
operational
for
approximately
four
years
and
the
experience
of
the
station
operators
floor
stage
records
pump
operation
records
the
pumping
schedule
currently
permitted.
L
L
This
is
the
one
I
read
to
you
guys
about
in
review
of
those
historical
tide
levels
we
get
into
determining
that
the
natural
occurrence
are
tied
in
the
zero
foot
to
0.5
foot
range,
approximately
it
happens
approximately
once
every
five
and
a
half
days
or
65
times
a
year,
tides
in
zero
six
rings
to
one
foot
approximately
95
times
a
year
as
such
a
pump
down
elevation
of
zero
foot
for
the
pumping
schedule
would
be
consistent
with
the
natural
fluctuation
of
the
drainage
basin.
L
L
Again,
these
full
permits
are
in
your
your
packets
there's,
a
call
out
about
the
actual
operations
of
the
pumping
station.
I
went
in
and
got
what
our
subject
matter
ELO's
company
to
to
look
into
this
as
well.
As
you
know,
we
did
some
advancement
to
the
pumping
station
in
2013
and
added
to
pump
six
and
seven
I
would
have
thought
then
that
they
may
have
modified
this
operating
criteria,
but
it
didn't
seem
like
there
was
a
need
to
do
so.
L
So
we
reference
back
to
the
most
the
latest
information
on
the
core
permit
and
it's
from
this
document
here
so
we'll
get
into
it
number
one.
You
can
run
the
pumps
for
operational
purposes
or
maintenance
purposes
to
see
and
test
engines
number
two
is
more
of
a
Backwater
event:
flooding
condition
they
reference
a
Floodgate.
It
can
be
closed
for
external
flooding
and
the
internal
levels.
They
reference
elevation
of
one
foot
that
is
more
in
reference
to
the
actual
Bonnet
carry
Spillway
and
the
diversion
Canal
they
meet.
L
River
Basin
save
water
is
backing
up
to
us
on
the
outside
of
that
pumping
station.
They
reference
one
foot
that
is
our
everyday,
safe
tide
elevation,
and
so
they
allow
you
to
maintain
that.
But
then
you
get
into
scenario
number
three,
which
is
in
our
opinion.
Today's
time
we
experienced
this
almost
monthly
at
times
when
a
potential
of
a
five
inch,
rain
or
greater
rainfall
is
forecasted
for
the
area.
The
event
is,
it
is
identified
as
a
tropical
storm
or
a
severe
frontal
passage.
L
Internal
water
elevations
can
be
drawn
down
to
correspond
with
the
severity
of
the
storm.
Once
the
danger
of
flooding
has
passed,
the
exterior
water
level
elevations
have
subsided
to
two
feet.
The
floodgates
shall
be
open
and
water
levels
within
the
outside
systems
can
then
equalize
all
right,
so
it
doesn't
really
specify
a
so-called
standard
or
elevation
to
draw
down
to
it
gives
you
the
authority
to
deem
that
as
the
severity
of
the
event
and
how
aggressive
or
not
aggressive,
you
need
to
add
to
activate
the
pumps
scenario.
L
L
What
what
the
parameters
are,
and
so
we
did
that
in
in
2017,
I
submitted
this
to
Mr
Roo
and
it
kind
of
gives
you
the
factors
of
what
you
look
for
the
requirements,
the
prerequisites,
be
it
a
threat
of
rainfall,
wind
direction,
existing
water
elevations
of
you
know
extended
for
length
of
time,
Horizon,
elevation
of
concerns
or
2.5
at
the
pumping
station
average
elevation
of
the
system
on
a
day
to
day
is
one
foot
to
one
and
a
half
foot
elevations
desired
or
designated
at
the
pumping
station
would
be
around
zero
five
USGS
gauges
at
Marvin,
brocharts
or
a
source
of
information
that
show
these
gauge
Heights
tied
to
elevations
Etc
responsibilities.
L
It
lays
it
out
for
the
staff.
It
shall
be
the
responsibility
of
the
assistant
director
to
monitor
events
that
may
present
a
threat
to
the
residents
of
the
parish
and
notify
the
director.
It
shall
be
the
responsibility
of
the
assistant
director
and
the
director
Asus
engine
drainage
District,
to
make
the
decision
to
activate
the
pumps
shall
be
the
responsibility
of
assistant
director
to
have
a
prepared
emergency
plan
at
all
times.
L
As
far
as
pump
stations
day
and
night
shall
be
responsibility
to
drainage
supervisors
to
activate
the
station
tenant
and
emergency
Personnel
is
needed
shall
be
responsibility
to
the
supervisor.
The
East
Ascension
issue
is
issue
forms
to
the
Personnel
for
documentation
of
standard
pump
and
events,
and
if
it's
a
FEMA
reimbursement,
type
event,
there's
forms
for
that
and
they're
assuming
those
to
them.
The
procedure
it
goes
into
some
important
details
here
is
identify
that
threat
notified
attendant
of
the
station.
Activate
the
emergency
Personnel
ensure
that
equipment
is
needed
as
on-site
issue.
L
A
task
order
for
documentation
of
the
entire
event
document
work
equipment
Etc.
So
this
goes
down
and
gives
them
perimeters
of
every
aspect
and
the
further
you
get
down
it.
References
elevations
about
equalizing
and
coming
out
of
these
pumping
events,
which
coincide
with
the
pumping
permit
from
1996..
L
Again,
this
is
in
the
current
Administration.
This
same
standard
operating
procedure
has
not
changed.
It's
the
staff.
Have
it
the
director
at
the
time,
has
this
on
hand
and
they
reference
it
and
if
they
don't
have
or
they're
in
doubt
they
stay
within
the
parameters
of
this
and
they're.
In
line
in
compliance
with
the
procedure,
you
guys
had
asked
about
the
pumping
capabilities
and
what
depths
we
can
pump
down
to
without
having
any
issues
so
I
reached
out
to
bki
Mr
Henry
Picard,
asking
those
questions,
and
we
thought
it
was
around
negative.
L
Three
I
always
heard
negative.
Two
was
safe.
He
actually
comes
back
and
says
you
can
actually
pump
down
to
a
negative
five
with
the
pumps
at
Marvin,
bro,
negative,
five,
and
so
that
is
or
parameter
of
mechanical
capabilities
and
functions
there
and
I
wanted
to
represent
this
on
a
graph
I
think
I
showed
you
showed
you
guys
this
in
the
first
meeting
after
the
incident.
It's
a
visual
representation
of
the
actual
incident
on
the
30th
of
the
pumping
event.
L
So
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
of
the
graph
December,
the
30th
and
the
arrow
that
points
it
out,
the
black
dot
actually
shows
the
representation
of
the
starting
of
the
pumps
on
the
30th,
and
you
can
see
a
a
brief
decrease
in
elevation
where
the
pumps
were
headed
to
Target
elevations
of
zero
to
zero.
Five.
That
day,
you
see
a
slight
increase
in
elevations
at
the
pumping
station.
L
At
that
point
in
time
is
where
that
represents
that
that
downpour
rain
that
happened
during
this
pumping
event
that
morning,
and
so
we
we
did
give
the
order
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
zero
five
and
then
on
to
zero,
and
they
started
cranking
up
the
engines
to
do
so
and
at
the
bottom
of
that
dip
as
well.
The
failure
occurred,
but
at
no
time
did
we
get
out
of
the
parameters
of
the
permit
or
our
standard
operating
procedure.
And
then,
after
the
event
happens,
you
look
a
little
rise
at
the
pump
station.
L
We
talked
about
that
in
that
meeting
we
had
another
rain
event
come
in
the
the
following
a
few
days
after
the
incident.
If
you
look
from
January
1st
at
the
bottom
of
the
graph
to
January
the
4th,
you
see
those
representations
of
of
triangles
going
up
and
down
that
is
I.
Couldn't
represent
it
better.
The
standard
operating
procedure
being
followed
there,
that
is
our
Target.
We
hold
zero
five.
L
We
hit
zero
to
go
a
little
bit
past
it
and
when
you
kill
an
engine,
you'll
see
a
little
bit
of
rise
over
an
hour
or
two,
and
you
kick
another
engine
on
and
you
hold
that
Baseline
of
a
zero,
and
so
this
is
a
clear
representation
of
what
our
staff
does
in
in
compliance
with
the
permit
and
the
the
procedures
on
hand.
So
I
thought
it'd
be
good
to
show
you
guys,
all
of
that
and
and
how
it
evolved
to
what
we
do
today.
R
So
I
wanted
to
just
take
a
minute
and
and
talk
about
the
graph
for
a
minute,
as
as
Ron
said,
you
know,
if
you
look
to
your
right,
you'll
see
that's
the
normal
operation
and
and
as
Ron
said,
you
know,
this
is
well
within
the
mechanical
limit.
So
you
go
to
minus
five.
What
you
were
going
here
is
between
a
plus
point
five
and
zero,
so
he
averaged
about
plus
0.25
the
the
standard
operating
procedure
on
this.
They
were
well
within
that
I.
R
The
conclusion
that
I
came
to
along
with
a
lot
of
other
people,
was
that
it
was
an
air
leak,
and
you
know
when,
when
would
when
the
people
got
there,
the
air
compressor
wasn't
running
it
had
tripped,
they
had
other
people
and
and
I'm
not
saying
they
weren't
qualified
to
say
that,
but
other
people
saying
that
it
was
because
the
pumps
were
pumping
too
low.
R
R
For
a
minute,
I
know
it's
important
to
everybody.
So
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
maybe
Ron
or
myself
would
be
glad
to
answer
those
relative
to
the
no
yeah.
D
D
So
that's
what
Bill's
kind
of
been
working
on
bringing
together.
So
it's
important
to
know
the
difference
between
the
SOP
versus
the
weather
event
and
how
this
handling
the
stop
versus
just
running
the
station
in
general,
how
it
should
be
run
no.
F
L
C
R
B
R
The
last
leg
of
the
three-legged
table
here
is:
is
that
what's
been
done?
There
sure
is
all
Pumps
and
Equipment
are
protected
from
failure
and
can
include
an
update
on
what's
been
done
in
defining
a
plan
of
action,
and
so
under
this
category
you
know
we're
going
to
give
a
status
of
of
where
we
are
with
the
seven
pumps
and
so
right
now
you
have
two
pumps
that
are
that
are
out
or
two
engines.
R
Really
it's
an
engine
and
the
pump
so
number
one
is
out
because
of
shaft
bearing,
and
this
is
going
to
have
to
be
replaced.
I
think
you
know
you
pick
a
day
to
come
out
there.
You
know
to
me
that'd
be
an
interesting
day
because
you
got
to
pick.
You
got
to
lift
this
pump
up
through
the
roof,
so
pump
number
two,
this
guy
Slinger
is
the
coupling
and
it's
it
that's
a
company
that
went
out
of
business,
and
so
they
don't
produce
it.
R
So
we
have
to
have
that
made
in
a
machine
shop
pump
number
six.
They
have
PLC
replacement,
as,
as
you
guys
are
aware,
we're
looking
at
this
PLC
we're
looking
at
a
contract
to
standardize
those
and
we're
looking
at
a
contract
to
see.
What's
the
best
happens
to
be
that
pump
number
six,
the
PLC
went
out
and
now
they've
replaced
that
and
putting
that
back
in
service.
Also,
the
last
item
here,
the
air
compressor
system
has
as
we're
all
aware,
the
the
what
started
this
is
is
a
leak.
I
R
Air
pressure
system
and
no
notification
that
the
air
pressure
had
gone
down,
so
we
had
a
alarm
that
was
installed
outside
the
normal
pathway.
I'll
put
it
like
that
and
and
that
alarm
was
turned
off,
so
that's
all
been
replaced
and-
and
it's
all
back
in
service.
R
Excuse
me,
so
we
have
a,
and
we
talked
about
this
at
the
last
meeting,
we
have
a
request
out
there
to
have
skated
design,
engineering
and
and
owner's
representative
we've
interviewed
four
companies
that
really
are
a
company
I,
think
that
all
four
of
them,
Brian
Martinez
and
myself
introduced
interviewed
all
of
them.
All
of
them
have
potential
and
all
of
them
have
good
qualifications.
R
So
we,
after
we
completed
that,
then
we
we
came
back
today
and
we
sent
out
letters
of
availability.
So
you
know
we
don't
think
this
is
something
that
we
can
wait
months
and
months
to
get
started
on,
because
this
is
kind
of
the
trigger
of
how
you
bring
the
new
scada
system
in.
So
what
this
contract
does
is
brings
in
someone
and
lets
them
do
an
evaluation
of
what
we
have
and
what
do
we
need
and
then
to
assist
with
the
bid
specification
to
get
that
installed.
R
I
sent
those
out
or
we
sent
those
out
today
and
the
responses
are
due
on
3
16..
We
gave
them
seven
working
days
to
respond
management
of
change.
This
is
something
that
we
talk
about.
I
know
everybody,
that's
in
the
industry.
They
they're
familiar
with
that
I
can
remember
when
it
came
out.
We
cursed
it,
but
you
know
it
it's
it's
something
that
would
have
prevented
what
we
had
happen
here.
So
we're
not
forgetting
about
management
of
change,
but
these
things
that
we're
doing
the
things
that
that
Ron
has
done.
R
Jade
has
done
and
what
James
has
done.
You
know
we're
putting
those
in
a
bucket
we're
saving
that
when
we
bring
in
the
management
of
change
and
get
that
in
place,
then
we'll
run
that
through
the
management
of
change,
I,
think,
as
you
saw
tonight,
tremendous
amount
of
work
has
been
done.
R
You
know
that's
good,
that's
a
good
and
a
bad
thing.
There
was
a
lot
of
work
that
needed
to
be
done,
but
but
we
did
it
and
and
that's
the
important
thing
there
we
commit
that
we'll
continue
to
move
forward
with
these
enhancements
and
improvements
and
and
we'll
continue
to
report
as
long
as
you
guys
want
on
those
three
questions
or
any
other
questions
that
you'd
like
to
add
and
yeah.
That's
all
that
we
have
for
tonight.
T
I
just
have
one
quick
question:
given
the
lead
time
of
that,
coupling
that
we're
waiting
on
it's
like
two
months
I
think
it
was.
Are
we
looking
at
maybe
getting
a
spare,
because
I
worked
seven
days.
T
C
Yeah
did
we
look
at
I?
Guess
yeah
I
forgot
the
word
now
on
a
blank,
but
the
brain
is
gone
Staffing.
Do
it
I
I
didn't
see
that
there's
anything
in
there
about
Staffing
of
the
pumps,
how
many
people
we
should
have
and
qualifications
for
that
sort
of
thing.
R
C
R
L
R
L
A
Know
that
we
ask
a
lot
to
be
done
in
a
short
period
of
time
and
and
I
am
as
impressed
as
anybody
can
be
with
how
quickly
this
work
has
gotten
done.
Applaud
the
administration
managers
doesn't
for
your
outstanding
report
of
how
this
happened
initially
and
then
what
we
have
done
to
make
sure
that
it
never
happens
again.
My
only
question
is:
we
are
taking
what
we've
learned
and
applying
it
at
all
of
our
pumping
stations.
A
R
A
A
Let's
know
that
this
is
happening
at
every
pumping
station,
including
this
one
that
somehow
I
was
trying
to
like
where
in
the
world
did
that
thing
come
from
at
Bayou,
Conway,
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
that
and
so
I
need
a
I
need
a
trip
out
there
on
the
same
day
that
I
go
back
and
see
the
the
pumping
station
at
Marvin,
bro
I'd
like
to
see
that
Conway
pumping
station
as
well,
and
are
we
doing
these
same
things,
put
it
in
writing
for
us
that
these
same
things
are
being
done
at
those
stations
so
that
we
don't
lose
another
one.
R
For
scada-
and
that's
that's
really
what
I
assume
that
that
I
know
we've
talked
to
him
and
said:
listen,
we!
You
know
we're
going
to
have
a
specification
on
how
what
type
of
equipment
and
which
Bender
was
going
to
be
our
preference
and-
and
we
want
you
guys
to
comply
with
that.
R
G
R
A
And
we'll
be
adding
the
Weir
because
that
will
have
scada,
so
we
need
to
have
good
procedures
and
Etc
on
that.
The
tilting,
Weirs
and
then
I
think
that
at
some
point
we
also
need
to
make
sure
everything
is
right
at
fish,
Bayou
T,
all
of
the
places
that
we
send
people
to
operate
this
equipment.
We
need
to
know
that
it's
being
done
with
their
safety
in
mind,
as
well
as
the
safety
of
the
citizens,
that
those
things
are
there
to
protect.
Likewise,
it
at
Henderson
Bayou
sue.
A
N
Yeah
back
to
the
thing
of
the
with
the
fire
marshal
found
with
the
was
it
a
safe
house,
or
was
it
debate
that
there
was.
R
Concerned,
it's
it's
the
upstairs
house
when
you
first
when
you
first
come
in,
would
you
where
the
I
call
it
where
the
deer
heads
are
not?
But
it's
it's.
R
I
R
And
they
can
watch
what's
going
on
yeah
and
the
firewall
is
the
separation
between
that
and
the
pumps?
But
he
didn't
say
it
was,
it
was,
was
not
sufficient.
Only.
What
he
said
is
is
that
we
didn't
look
at
it
and
we
have
to
come
back
and
verify
that
it
is
it's
a
concrete
block
wall,
so
I
mean
I,
I,
don't
know,
but
I
would
assume
that
maybe
you
get
a
two-hour
rating
out
of
that
I
got.
N
R
F
Yeah
just
a
quick
comment:
I
was
going
to
say
just
for
time
and
we
see
we're
very
focused
on
the
pumping
station.
The
standard
operating
procedures
would
it
make
sense,
I
think
Johan
and
Jade
have
both
done
a
good
job
with
the
work
orders.
Would
it
make
sense
to
just
put
that
as
a
report
and
questions
as
needed
just
to
save
time
on
these
nights.
F
For
a
couple
yeah,
it's
actually
yours,
so
just
just
to
you
know,
maybe
for
a
couple
months,
while
we're
focusing
on
this,
maybe
put
those
as
a
report
to
the
board
and
we
do
questions
as
needed
or
post
them
on
the
website.
I
don't
know.
A
F
A
That's
all
I
appreciate
the
suggestion,
but
I'm
I'm
more
about
us
hearing
and
the
public
hearing
what
we
have
done
so
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
continue
to
do
these
reports
exactly
as
they've
been
done
and
then,
if
we
get
a
month
or
so
down
the
road
and
we're
all
caught
up
and
everybody
feels
like
the
questions
have
been
answered,
then
we
can
have
them
as
standard
reports
that
are
just
kind
of
high
high
level
stuff.
If
that's
okay,
with
with
everybody
else,
it's
okay
with
me.
