East Ascension Drainage Board - November 14, 2022
A
All
right
everyone
we
will
call
to
order
on
November,
14,
2022,
East,
Ascension
drainage,
meeting.
Let's
see
road
called
Miss
secretary,
we
were
missing:
Mr
Turner,
Mr,
ogeron,
Mr,
Lambert
and
Mr
Mason.
We
have
six
of
us
present
at
this
point.
We,
oh
I'm,
sorry
public
comments
for
anyone
who
wants
to
speak
on
any
agenda
item.
Please
come
see.
Miss
Daigle
over
here
she'll
get
you
a
rate
of
green
card.
You
can
talk
on
the
agenda
item.
You
wish
to
oh
I'll.
A
B
B
We
pray
that
you
will
heal
the
physical,
spiritual
and
psychological
wounds.
Some
of
our
veterans
have
suffered,
bringing,
alas,
lasting
peace
to
those
who
mourn
the
Lost
of
Conrad
to
comrades.
Please
help
them
Define
your
love
and
mercy
and
therefore
Holy
Father.
We
ask
you
to
bless
all
of
our
military
veterans
in
Jesus
name.
We
pray,
amen.
A
Tonight
we
will
move
straight
into
General
business
item,
6A
approval
letter,
approval
of
waiver
requests
from
Conway
Development
LLC
of
the
Ascension
Parish
land
developmental
code
to
allow
for
permitting
and
construction
of
a
mechanical
stormwater
pulping
system
for
the
purpose
of
maintaining
the
design
of
static
water,
surface
elevation
and
resulting
required
detention
volume
in
the
existing
and
proposed
detention.
Pond
stormwater
detention,
design
requirements
or
as
follows:
the
out
file,
the
outfall
storm
water
retention
facilities
shall
be
gravity
driven.
A
D
A
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
chair
I,
think
it's
important
to
know
who
a
quick
small
explanation
on
who's
going
to
be
in
responsible
for
the
pumps
there's
going
to
be
a
possible
for
maintaining
them
operating
them.
I
think
that
the
board
should
have
some
clarification
on
that.
So
if
we
could
have
somebody
I'll
come
up
and
talk
about
that
part
of
it.
D
Sure
I
should
mention
that
Mr
Alvin's
here
tonight
with
the
city,
you
know
and
they're
here
at
a
sign
of
support
for
us.
So
so
the
maintenance
has,
you
know,
for
the
last
six
months
been
established.
It's
going
to
be
on
the
homeowners
association.
More
specifically
I
think
it
will
not
be
the
responsibility
of
the
drainage
District
nor
the
Parish
of
Ascension.
F
F
F
Okay,
so
whenever
y'all
built,
apparently
there
is
a
fault
or
there
was
a
mistake
in
either
the
engineering
or
the
drainage
engineering
or
something
to
where
that
outfall
does
not
out
fall
off
of
his
property.
That's
something
that
I
would
like
to
address
in
the
very
near
future.
However,
we
can
does
this
particular
situation
apply
to
that.
So.
D
F
D
G
D
D
D
D
We
have
a
Backwater
condition
so
when,
when
Conway
was
originally
built
and
the
original
drainage
impact
study
was
approved,
the
receiving
streams
without
an
elevation
below
two
and
that
receiving
stream
now
was
up
over
four
and
that's
a
whole.
We've
done
a
complete
study
on
it,
your
staff's
aware
of
it,
but
you
know
it's
something
that
we
can't
control,
because
it
goes
well
off
site,
so
we're
controlling
what
we
can.
H
If
you
don't
mind,
I'll
give
you
a
little
background
and
explanation
from
what
we
found
back
when
this
first
came
up
to
life
of
the
back
water
being
an
issue
Conway
had
already
built
out.
What's
out
there
now
and
we
started
getting
City
complaints
from
residents
within
there.
Hey,
we
got
water
flooding
in
the
streets.
What's
going
on,
came
to
us
to
look
into
that
as
what's
going
on
with
the
downfall,
the
channel
leaving
out
of
the
development.
H
What
we
found
was
there's
five
pipes
that
drain
out
of
Conway
development
that
bring
their
water
from
their
ponds
to
the
so-called
Downstream
outfall.
Those
pipes
are
95
percent
full
of
water.
Today
you
can
go
to
the
catch
basins
in
the
street
and
look
in
them
on
the
side
of
the
road
and
they're
full
of
water.
So
there's
no
storage
right
now
in
the
development.
Therefore,
rainfall
comes,
it
pulls
out
in
the
streets
and
it
floods
the
streets.
H
So
we
went
downstream
and
looked
further
into
it
and
it
crosses
I-10,
and
it
goes
into
some
private
property
that
private
property
is
a
200
plus
acre
mitigation.
Bank
that's
been
established
and
permitted
by
the
Corps
of
Engineers
that
was
all
set
up
in
2011
and
approved
by
the
core
that
water
then
goes
through
that
mitigation
banking
on
the
Bayou
Conway.
H
So
we
reached
out
to
elos
and
asked
them
about
the
channels
in
the
mitigation
bank
and
to
do
some
research
on
it.
They
found
that
all
the
mitigation
credits
in
that
bank
have
been
sold,
and
so
you
can't
go
in
and
create
impact
in
that
Wetland
mitigation
Bank
to
do
any
work,
you'd
have
to
pay
for
the
impacts
of
that
that
property.
So
that
being
said,
we
actually
had
Hartman
engineering
when
he
first
came
on.
Take
a
look
at
the
original
drainage
impact
study.
That's
where
we
found
there
was.
H
There
was
a
number
in
that
original
drainage
impact
study.
That
said,
the
downstream
water
surface
elevation
was
between
a
1.5
or
a
two
foot,
whereas
in
reality
it
was
verified
it's
at
a
four,
so
there's
no
storage
capacity
within
the
ponds.
So
all
the
factors
that
we
found
it
wasn't
like
our
operations
guys
could
go
out
and
dig
a
ditch
and
fix
the
problem.
One.
We
don't
have
any
right-of-ways
through
that
mitigation
bank
and
two
if
we
did
we'd
have
to
pay
mitigation
at
60
to
70
thousand
dollars
an
acre.
H
So
we
have
that's,
basically
was
validated
by
Hartman's
investigation.
We
then
got
with
the
era
of
csrs,
turned
over
that
information
to
them
and
at
that
point
we're
at
a
situation
where
gravity
is
only
going
to
do
so
much
and
unfortunately
in
the
Conway
and
Panama
Basin.
It's
still
a
100
percent
gravity
flow
system
and
when
you
get
a
Backwater
event
and
rainfall
happening
at
the
same
time,
in
that
Basin
Conway
is
not
the
only
area
that
has
problems.
Look
at
Southwood
subdivision
on
Highway
30..
H
E
Yeah
so
forward,
looking
because
this
this
will
help
mitigate
the
storage
issue
inside
the
subdivision
with
the
pumps,
but
one
of
the
60
projects
was
Hackett
canal
in
that
area.
There's
a
school
board
property
within
Conway
on
the
back
side
of
that
piece
that
we're
going
to
have
a
future
school
there.
Obviously-
and
so
it
is
one
of
the
areas
that
we're
looking
at
I'm,
not
sure
Daniel,
where
that
Hackett
Canal
project
fell
out,
did
it
make
the
30.
I'm
trying
to
remember
it?
It
did
30.
E
yeah
due
to
the
amount
of
development
in
the
area.
It's
we
need
to
take
a
hard
look
at
what
the
solutions
may
be
in
the
near
future
due
to
the
fact
of
a
school
coming,
an
additional
expansion
of
subdivisions
and
growth
in
that
area.
So
that's
one
of
the
things.
The
second
thing,
the
further
down
the
line
that
we're
current,
which
is
a
current
project,
is
the
Sorrento
surge
protection.
E
G
E
We
had
a
change
in
developer
in
this
process
of
some
of
the
early
engineering
that
took
place
I'd.
Imagine
that
would
have
been
in
somewhere
in
there.
I
would
have
to
get
Hartman
to
to
talk
about
maybe
what
they
saw
in
their
study,
but
I
know
that
that
this
was
once
owned
by
a
different
developer
and
engineering
company
they
left
and
then
somebody
else
has
picked
it
up
to
to
move
it
forward
from
there.
So
probably
happened
in
the
original
stages,
original
design
and
I.
Think
that's
probably
where
the
problem
occurred.
Yeah.
E
You
want
you
want
to
ensure
that
you
have
a
natural,
natural,
hydrology
and
topographic
features
that
allow
the
subdivision,
regardless
of
mechanical
or
not
because
a
mechanical
failure
on
such
a
small
project.
It
is
the
solution
here.
It
doesn't
cost
to
perish
anything.
This
is
a
city
project,
so
the
developer
is
willing
to
fund
the
pumps
and
then
the
HOA
picks
it
up.
E
Obviously,
I
would
wouldn't
mind
a
backup
plan
to
what
happens
if
if
the
HOA
becomes
defunct
or
fails
well,
the
city
of
Gonzales
picked
that
up
I,
don't
know
that
that
may
be
something
that
amazed
to
be
clarified,
I'm,
not
sure,
but
but
the
developer
is
going
to
front
the
cost
and
they're
going
to
pay
for
it.
This
is
just
our
approval
for
to
get
around
all
rules
and
regulations
in
the
city,
but
this
is
obviously
something
plastic
past
the
City
Planning
Commission
and
they're.
F
F
Is
that
going
to
be
an
issue?
I,
don't
know,
I
feel
like
that's
something.
We
definitely
need
to
look
at,
because
I
know
that
Hackett
Canal
project,
that's
somewhere
that
myself
and
President
Clinton
were
scheduled
to
go
last
month,
and
you
know
some
things
came
up
because
we
have
some
things
going
all
the
way.
We
have
some
issues
going
all
the
way
down
from
Brittany
Tower,
where
Hackett
Canal
goes,
which
is
connected
to
the
development
down.
F
Earnest
Floyd
a
lot
of
those
issues
and
we
we
still
have
some
more
engineering
to
be
done,
but
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
the
issues
can
be
solved
with
closing
off
the
spoil
Bank
in
some
different
spots
of
the
Panama
Canal,
where
currently,
when
the
the
water
level
gets
so
high
water
just
flows
in,
and
it
would
make
a
huge
difference.
So
I'd
like
to
see
the
reality
of
us
doing
that
project
and
in
Ron's
opinion
and
your
opinion.
F
E
Yeah
I
don't
mean
to
belabor
any
point.
I
do
want
to
congratulate
the
Council
on
adopting
regulations
and
the
parish
that
require
developer,
to
dig
out
to
the
nearest
outfall.
That
would
have
helped
this
particular
situation
or
it
wouldn't
be
developed
so
kudos
to
the
council
for
adopting
those
stricter,
Parish
regulations.
E
So
is
definitely
an
area
we're
looking
at
because
of
the
immense
development
there
in
the
past
few
years,
so
we're
going
to
find
some
solutions
that
don't
don't
necessarily
have
them
today.
I
do
want
to
point
out.
If,
if
you
know
ponds
are
such
a
parish
issue,
if
we
ever
decide
to
do
mechanical
pumps
or
allow
something
like
this,
my
suggestion
to
the
board
would
be
to
apply
a
tax
to
the
subdivision,
to
pay
for
the
maintenance
of
the
pumps
I'm
doing
a
tip
like
we
do
for
roads.
E
A
I
E
It
would
be
from
any
subdivision
that
we
have
to
do
the
drainage
study
for
and
or
csrs
era
has
to
do
that
then
so
we're
over
that
part,
because
city
of
Gonzalez
pays
for
the
drainage
tax.
Therefore
we're
over
drainage
in
the
area
to
ensure
that
it
works
properly
or
consultant
reviews
that
drainage
component
instead
of
someone
for
the
city
of
Gonzales
and
he's
set
to
follow
all
regulations,
and
so
we
have.
I
C
I
E
Yeah
I
don't
see
this
happening
in
the
parish
in
our
because
of
our
stricter
regulations.
I,
don't
think
that
we
would
have
approved
the
first
one
without
due
diligence
of
checking
it
somehow
it
got
by
and
I
went
out
and
laid
eyes
on
it
myself,
those
covert
to
75
percent
full
on
regular
day
and
there's
just
no
capacity,
and
so
somehow
some
way
it
my
opinion
it
was
engineered
incorrectly.
H
Sir
chairman
can
I
make
one
point
of
clarification
in
regards
to
engineering
and
the
developer
here.
They
have
submitted
the
downstream
modeling
to
csrs,
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
and
state
that
they're
not
done
with
the
review
process
of
this
engineering
proposed
pumping
station.
They
still
have
to
get
Corps
of
engineer,
determination
on
permitting
the
O
M
manuals
and
and
operations
that
has
a
big
play
in
how
these
things
discharge
Downstream.
So
we
would
hope
that
they
would
utilize
them
to
create
capacity.
H
In
other
words,
the
pumping
is
similar
to
how
we
run
our
pumping
stations.
They
pump
the
ponds
down
prior
to
events
happening.
Therefore,
they
don't
have
to
have
the
pumps
running
in
the
heat
of
a
a
flood
event
at
a
certain
rate,
but
they've
modeled
that
they
submitted
it
to
csrs,
and
this
is
a
The,
Next,
Step,
so
to
say
in
the
review
process.
This
is
not
final
approval
to
go
build
the
pump
station.
This
is
to
continue
the
review
process
for
the
next
Milestone.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
H
And
believe
they
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
the
pumps
are
needed
for
the
drainage
to
function,
but
there
are
parameters
around
the
operations
and
means
and
methods
of
how
to
incorporate
that
through
the
HOA
that
are
still
in
the
process
and
we're
we
have
all
that
at
the
table,
but
we
needed
to
know
from
the
board.
Was
it
okay
to
waive
this
mechanical
requirement?
We
don't
have
all
that,
though,.
G
The
original
concern
is
that
we're
proving
a
waiver
for
the
construction
and
permitting
and
I
think
it's
kind
of
contrary
to
saying,
hey,
we're
going
to
wait
and
see,
looks
like
we're
just
waving
this
right
now
and
we
really
don't
have
any
information
yet
from
what
you're.
From
your
perspective,
at
least
right,
whether
or
not
this
works,
whether
it
doesn't
work,
whether
it's
actually
needed,
whether
it's
not
needed.
J
So
you
can
imagine
I
find
this
very
similar
to
a
primary
plaid
process
to
where
it's
a
preliminary
step,
a
degree
in
principle.
What
we're
going
to
do
a
lot
of
times,
it's
condition
of
or
knowing
you
have
checks
and
balance
like
you
can't
a
lot
of
times
our
drained
studies
in
a
traditional
subdivision.
It's
you
read
the
fine
print
we're
saying
we're
approving
this
in
concept.
J
Subject
to
detailed
construction
plan
review.
You
already
have
built
through
process.
Your
ordinance
says
you
can't
request
a
final
inspection,
so
you
got
approved
plans
approved
plans.
You
got
to
be
expected
by
The,
Testing
Lab.
You've
got
to
do
this,
you
got
to
close
out
process
and
all
of
those
those
things
are
built
in
place.
So
this
is
very
similar
to
where
we
didn't
want
their
Engineers
US
city
Gonzalez.
We
spin
our
Wheels
anymore
around
this
pump
concept.
Unless
we
went
we
did
enough,
we
did
a
lot
of
due
diligence.
J
There
was
we,
you
know
we
had
Hartman
and
csrs
and
qvs
qvs
was
we're
not
the
original
engineer,
so
they
had
a
fresh
take
at
it
fresh
look
at
it.
They
had
no
scanning
game
become
themselves
from
the
previous
design.
Apartment
was
done
with
the
previous
reviews
for
the
previous
reviewers.
We
all
had
a
fresh.
Take.
We
have
an
existing
subdivision
has
existing
problems.
J
J
They
have
ability
to
do
it.
They
just
they're
using
this
as
a
as
a
checkpoint
to
help
them
go
fix
and
the
developer
of
this
newer
file,
not
the
original
developers
are
coming
in
and
saying
yes
to
be
good
stewards
and
move
forward
with
this.
Let's
come
with
a
pump
station
for
the
existing
filings
and
and
by
the
way,
we're
at
it,
it
will
benefit.
J
You
know
the
next
file.
The
next
file
will
be
built
up
a
little
bit
higher
just
to
take
care
of
it.
Take
care
of
all
this
so
I
think
this
is
the
appropriate
Step
A
lot
of
times
you'll
see
an
employment
plan
process.
You
could
go
the
direction.
We
approve
of
the
drainage
waiver
subject
to
staff
approval
of
detailed
construction
plans
that
there
is
a
written
agreement
subject
to
the
approval
at
some
point
from
possibly
attorney
about.
J
If
the
backup
plan
the
HOA
doesn't
work
out
who's,
the
next
person
in
line
is
it
Gonzalez
is
he's
Ascension.
We
all
could
have
made
a
decision.
You
would
want
the
pope,
we
didn't
know
yet
we
don't
go
too
far,
so
to
get
all
the
details
and
then
say
no,
so
it's
you
my
opinion.
You
can
be
approving
this
contingent
upon
a
couple
of
things
like
we
would
have
in
a
normal
project.
J
You
know,
as
you
go
on
this
process,
but
we've
looked
at
it
qes
and
Hardman
and
I,
don't
speak
too
much
on
Hartman,
but
we've
seen
his
analysis.
I
think.
The
only
way
we've
seen
it
to
solve
the
existing
problems
is
a
drainage
pump
situation.
There's
really
no
way
around
it,
so
we're
at
that
point.
We
just
want
to
go
too
much
further
to
realize
wait
a
minute.
This
is
technically
a
waiver
and
mechanical
pump
station
is
a
there,
are
existing
subdivisions
and
well
no
new
orleansville
places.
It's
not
that
it
doesn't
work.
J
Ascension
Parish
way
back
in
the
day
wrote
an
ornus.
This
don't
be
so
dependent
upon
East,
essential
drainage
works
or
a
DPW
to
be
in
charge
of
pump
maintenance
systems
as
your
first
option
to
design
a
project.
So
we
did
that
that
eliminated
your
footprint
of
your
Pawns
just
make
it
sort
of
you're
not
allowed
to
do
it
unless
you
get
into
a
unique
situation.
It's
basically
where
we
are.
This
has
the
proper
checks
and
balance
if
you're
going
to
do
a
waiver,
let's
talk
in
a
public
forum.
That's
what
we're
doing
here.
J
B
I
I
J
Of
the
conditions
are
would
be
subject
to
approval
of
detailed
construction
plans
rather
than
starting
construction,
if
y'all
needed
to
maintain
the
necessary
permanence
or
proper
notification
of
the
Corps
of
Engineers,
stating
that
no
permit
is
necessary,
be
to
my
opinion,
the
two
big
ones.
Now
the
details
that
is
probably
not
to
do
with
engineering
about
the
ownership,
then,
if
the
HOA
doesn't
fall
through,
is
it
the
city
of
Gonzalez?
Are
they
willing
to
sign
an
agreement
certified
that
they
would
be
the
ones
that
comes
in
you
know?
J
G
To
repeat
it,
I
don't
know
I'd
like
to
see
more
information
too.
Just
on
the
the
numbers.
You
know.
What
is
this
going
to
cost
for
maintenance
over
that
15
year
period?
What
is
it
going
to
cost
at
the
end
of
the
lifespan
of
these
pumps
to
replace
them
at
15
years,
plus
this
wonderful
inflation
that
we're
going
through
right
now,
but
in
all
seriousness
I
mean
the
cost
is
going
to
rise
dramatically.
We
have
to
make
sure
that,
at
the
end
of
that
15
years,
there's
enough
money
there
to
handle
those
costs.
G
Otherwise,
we'll
be
revisiting
this
again
and
I.
Look
I
I
applaud
you
all
for
coming
telling
me
you
know
3
600
000
a
year
but
I'd
like
to
see
some
numbers
behind
that
and
what
the
cost
of
the
pumps
are,
what
the
cost
of
the
pumps
are
to
put
them
in
now,
because
I
don't
give
us
a
good
idea
of
of
what
it's
going
to
cost.
We
don't
have
any
of
that
information,
and
that's
that's.
G
Sorry
but
and
it's
I'm
not
saying
it's
a
bad
idea,
guys
I
just
I-
think
we
need
more
information
on
it
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
finances,
and
is
it
actually
going
to
work
and
is
there
some
kind
of
is
this?
Is
this
backup
plan
that's
going
to
cost
three
thousand
or
thirty
six
thousand
a
year?
Is
that
based
on
100
payment
by
the
HOA,
because
that's
not
reasonable
or
reliable
or
even
likely.
D
Not
the
prolonged
things,
I
just
heard
a
number
of
things
over
the
last
10
minutes,
I
think
I
could
clarify
and
would
help
out
the
group.
The
first
is:
the
project
has
not
changed:
hands
I
want
that
to
be
known,
certainly
important
for
the
city,
Southern,
lifestyle
Remains,
the
owner
of
the
project.
Some
of
the
faces
have
changed.
D
I
think
there
is
maybe
a
more
ambiguity
related
to
how
we
got
here
than
was
conveyed
earlier.
I'm,
not
sure
that
the
water
level
was
not
at
1.9
or
1.5
in
2016.
I've,
not
seen
any.
You
know,
information
that
suggests
that
those
outfall
pipes
were
put
in
and
already
half
full
with
the
day
they
went
in.
My
understanding
is
they
were
dry
and
the
Basin
has
had
a
Backwater
condition.
D
That's
created
where
we
are
today
and
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
I
ran
Oak
Lake
across
the
street,
and
Oak
Lake
is
also
has
about
a
two
foot,
Backwater
condition
in
it
right
now
so
conceivably.
That
would
be
another
engineer.
Making
a
mistake
early
on
I.
Just
don't
think.
That's
the
likely
scenario
of
how
we
got
here.
I
think
the
Basin
is
rising.
It's
got
challenges
related
to
Conway
Bayou,
all
the
way
to
marpal
I
mean
their
diversion.
D
So
the
construction
plans,
a
memo
of
understanding
that
clearly
clarifies
the
maintenance
and
obligation,
maintenance
and
operations
obligations,
a
drainage
impact
study,
an
off-site
drainage
study
and
there's,
probably
another
technical
document
or
two
that
I'm
not
thinking
of
have
been
completed
and
in
the
era's
review
for
at
least
six
months,
I'd
say
most
of
those
documents
were
created
over
a
year
ago.
So
there
are
some.
You
know
perception,
I,
think
from
the
council,
that
this
is
brand
new,
and
this
is
our
first
step.
D
This
is
we've
been
at
this
for
a
long
time
and
every
question
that
you
could
conceivably
come
up
with
from
a
technical
standpoint.
There's
an
answer
to
it
already.
You
know
whether
it's
quality
they
mentioned
the
other
firm
reason
with
the
drainage
board
and
then
Sean's
group
with
csrs.
So
we've
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
here,
and
you
know,
our
thought
is
as
the
applicant
as
is.
This
was
a
like.
D
A
housekeeping
exercise
like
I
suggested
to
you,
because
the
city
of
Gonzales
wants
the
pumps,
they
need
the
pumps,
the
constituency
of
Gonzalez
needs
them
and
it's
only
the
parish's
ordinance
other
than
their.
You
know
objective
review
of
the
drainage
impact
study
that
which
is
the
parish's
role
so
and
then
on
the
the
same,
goes
to
Mr
Lawler
for
the
o
m
expenses.
I
have
all
the
backup
you
have
all
of
it.
I
have
a
contract
with
a
subconsultant
that'll
play
point
on
it,
and
we
are
certainly
going
to
manage
it
responsibly.
D
We're
going
to
be
there
frankly
for
probably
another,
eight
or
ten
years
right,
because
we've
got
another
three
or
four
hundred
lots
to
go.
I
also
think
it's
good
to
note
and
president
equipment
made
point
of
this,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we
all
understand
it.
You
know
if
or
when
the
full
Panama
Basin
Pump
Station
comes
into
play.
This
system
we're
talking
about
tonight,
is
obsolete.
It's
no
longer
needed
because
that
entire
Basin
will
be
held
down
at
like
elevation
one
or
zero.
D
So
Conway
at
that
point
would
have
plenty
of
room
to
drain.
You
know
and
then
also
just
remember.
This
is
not
a
system
that
it's
not
a
pump
system
that
that
the
community
is
dependent
upon
draining
because
it
drains
today
it's
it's
an
enhancement.
It's
a
supplemental
drainage
station
is
how
it
refer
to
it.
It's
going
to
supplement
the
existing
drainage.
It
is
not
going
to
accommodate.
You
know
it's
not
critical
for
the
drainage.
E
A
First
name
for
the
HOA,
so
we're
talking
about
the
HOA
had
there
been
oh,
has
it
been
like
an
open
house
or
or
any
communication
with
HOA
a
board
or
directors
or
the
president?
Anything
like
that
I
think
it's
prudent
that
we
involve
the
citizens.
You
know
if,
if
we're
going
to
put
o
m
of
a
of
a
maintenance
pump
on
them,
financially,
I
think
it's
important
that
they
know
for
the
existing
residents
and
the
future
homeowners
that
that's
going
to
be
their
responsibility
for
the
foreseeable
future.
A
So
I
would
strongly
urge
you
know
y'all
to
make
contact
with
them
and
and
have
a
have
a
formal
sit
down
with
them
and
look
as
long
as
I'm
I'm
serving
I
will
always
be
of
the
mindset,
so
it
if
you'd
like
to
install
your
pump.
You
know
internally
and
it's
going
to
help,
but
me
personally,
I'll
always
be
against
this
commission
at
some
point
in
time,
inheriting
that
you
know
that
palm
and
so
them
in
the
conversations
with
the
hoe,
it's
important
to
know
that
that
there's
a
good
chance.
A
This
could
be
their
issue
forever.
You
know
15
20
years
down
the
road,
oh
and-
and
my
last
thing
is,
is
I
know
they
got
a
few
more
phases.
You
know
to
Conway,
you
know,
I've
been
in
there
a
few
times
and
you
know,
and
all
that
stuff
so
I
would
really
urge.
I
would
really
urge
Parish
staff
or
or
era
and
the
City
of
Gonzales
to
really
really
really
dissect
the
future
phases
before
they
get
approved.
A
F
F
The
level
of
the
basin
I've
lived
there
for
42
years
of
my
life
within
half
a
mile
has
not
changed.
What
has
changed
and
I
also
know
this,
because
I've
written
throughout
Conway
on
my
dirt
bike
behind
it
pipelines
throughout
from
beginning
of
the
development
throughout
it.
Conway
has
made
some
changes
if
there
is
any
changes
to
the
outfalls,
because
Conway
development
a
place
to
do
it
there
to
change
it.
I
know
for
a
fact
that
the
Basin
has
not
changed
in
any
way
that
dramatically.
F
As
far
as
the
level
and
honestly,
the
one
main
thing
that
I
want
to
address
and
make
sure
and
I
wouldn't
have
an
issue
approving
this
tonight
is.
This
is
really
just
to
pump
whenever
you're
saying,
there's
not
an
event
going
on
you're
keeping
these
ponds
pumped
down
and
you're
not
going
to
pump
during
an
event.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing.
D
F
1.2,
if,
for
whatever
reason,
we
can
actually
put
that
in
language
tonight,
I
have
no
issue
with
the
rest
of
these
wrinkles
and
the
rest
of
these
details
getting
ironed
out
through
the
process.
That's
just
one
thing
that
I
feel
would
protect
the
other
side
of
it
in
the
sense
of
I.
Don't
want
to
put
more
of
a
burden
on
people
outside
of
the
development
with
this,
and
that,
in
my
mind,
would.
D
F
D
E
E
E
A
person
is
this:
a
problem
with
Panama
can't
wait
today,
I
think
I
think
they
they
drain.
They
drain
adequate
from
what
they
have
for
decades,
probably
even
better,
since
we've
got
chem
spray
in
there
to
remove
other
debris
and
the
regular
maintenance
we've
done,
it
probably
drains
even
better
today
than
it
has
in
the
past.
E
It
is
a
great
subdivision,
these
beautiful
homes
and
beautiful
residents,
but
there
is
a
drainage
issue
on
the
existing
part.
This
is
the
solution
to
help
solve
some
of
that
that
has
already
existed
or
or
obligation.
Responsibility
is
to
ensure
all
future
filings,
as
chair
of
melonso
is
not
to
have
this
problem,
exacerbated
or
and
making
sure
that
it
doesn't
cause
additional
problems
as
they
continue
to
grow
the
subdivision
out.
So
that's
my
take,
but
I
have
not
seen
any
data,
nor
has
any
been
presented
to
me
or
talked
about
that.
E
A
E
J
My
my
suggestions
was
when
I'm
seeing
staff
because
we're
reviewing
the
era
on
behalf
of
the
Ascension
gravity,
training,
District,
so
I,
would
say:
I
would
say,
staff
approval,
construction
plans,
engineering,
improve,
which
allowed
to
proceed
with
construction.
Two
is
confirmation
receive
necessary
permits
from
Corps
of
Engineers
and
I.
Believe
y'all
had
a.
F
Third,
one
to
where
they
are
only
set
to
come
on
at
an
elevation
of
two,
you
said
it's
going
to
pump
out
to
keep
you
that
elevation
of
two-
don't
quote
me
here
tonight,
well,
I'd
like
to
have
it
to
where
it
it's
pumped
out
before
that,
it's
not
being
pumps
aren't
starting
at
the
chance
of
an
event.
Now,
if
you
have
an
elevation
for
me
like
we're
talking
about
elevation,
two
I
would
go
with
something
like
that,
because
you
have
so
many
feet
during
that
event.
C
A
A
J
I
J
Great
Apartments
provide
a
lot
of
great
input
on
what's
a
reasonable
plan
for
you,
like
don't
just
say
that
I
know
that
the
developer
was
going
to
do
this,
but
just
say:
hey
it's
going
to
be
on
the
HOA
and
you
look
at
it.
This
is
not
even
a
sustainable
Financial
thing
in
somebody.
Even
it's
not
you.
J
J
So
right
now
the
plans
that
they
have
submitted,
which
I
think
we've
got
from
off
from
the
your
recommendation
there,
but
right
now
what
they
have
submitted
is
they
are
greatly
discharging
than
that
of
the
pre-developed
flow
rate.
So
normally
in
our
subdivision
is
like
what
are
the
10
flow
rate
because
of
the
pumping
mechanism
for
this
to
work?
Basically,
they're
resetting
the
pawn
to
wait
for
a
storm
event.
If
you
go
out
there
now
after
a
storm,
you
can
see
the
water
in
the
inlets.
It's
just
sitting
there,
two
inches
of
rain.
J
H
I
think
that
they'll
work
with
us
showing
through
that
that
proposed
operations
plan
I'm,
confident
that
between
the
city
and
us
and
and
you
guys
we'll
we'll
get
that
plan
all
vetted
and
agreed
to
with
your
what
you're
talking
about
within
that
plant.
We
can
even
send
it
out
to
you
guys
in
the
review
process.
If
we
need
to
so.
F
H
This
work
and
I
think
what
Mr
Valley's
saying
is:
they'll.
Have
that
ability
to
scada
through
automation,
to
be
able
to
dial
that
in
automate
automatically
hitting
those
water
levels
to
turn
the
pumps
on
and
I'm
sure
that
their
Engineers
are
going
to
hit
that
Prime
level?
Where
that,
where
that
is
and
they'll
propose
that
to
us,
I
haven't
seen
the
actual
plan.
H
F
A
F
F
You
have
these
pumps
not
running
during
an
event
or
even,
if
you
have
the
capacity
of
these
ponds
at
a
certain
percentage
pump
down
beforehand.
That
would
be
something
I
could
assure
hey,
I'm
approving
someone
tonight.
That
I
know
will
never
come
back
to
me
after
this
approval.
But
it's
going
to
be
okay
for
my
constituents
because.
D
F
G
J
J
So
what
they're
always
seeking
is
a
letter
of
approval
from
the
governing
drainage
District
as
a
condition
of
them
a
proven
a
project
we're
in
a
position.
You
can't
give
that
it's.
You
know
for
20
pick.
No
one
is
there.
Is
a
waiver
that's
necessary
to
accommodate
this
design,
so
we're
really
trying
to
get
a
position
of
writing
a
letter
of
approval
to
Cindy
Gonzalez
and
that
letter
of
approval?
That's
where
it
includes
some
of
these
conditions
that
if
it
were
about
the
checks
and
balances
like
City,
Gonzalez,
I'm.
C
F
C
J
Not
for
these
plans,
we
don't
have
the
answers
to
them,
that's
yeah!
So
that's
that's
your
obviously
in
the
position
that
you're
in
do
we
keep
going
to
try
to
answer
a
whole.
You
know
some
more
questions
and
your
conditions
go
down
to
I.
Think
you're
at
least
going
to
have
a
one
or
two.
You
know,
or
do
you
open
up
the
couple
conditions
tonight
with
those
and
then
rely
on
your
staff
with
Parish
president
and
Ron
and.
F
A
I
A
A
A
All
right
so
I
am
going
to
ask
everyone
so
Mr
Lawler
has
it
has
something
going
on
with
his
son.
He
really
needs
to
go
so
I'm
I'm
gonna
try
my
best
I'm
gonna.
Try
my
best
to
go
through
here.
Of
course,
I
don't
want
to
neglect
any
one
of
their
questions
and
comments,
but
I
just
want
to
give
y'all
a
heads
up
all
right
item:
6B
approval
of
change
order,
number
one
to
the
contract
with
Boone
Services
LLC
for
New
River
drainage.
A
A
We
have
a
motion
by
Miss
casso,
a
second
by
Mr
wagenspack,
any
questions,
any
objection,
hearing,
none
item,
6D
acceptance
of
load,
all
right,
acceptance
of
low
responsibility
with
Industrial
Enterprises
I,
always
like
to
get
the
first
yeah;
okay,
all
right:
oh
yeah.
Okay,
all
right!
So
item
60
we
have
a
motion
by
Mr
Lawler,
a
second
by
Mr
cagnolotti,
any
question
any
objection.
A
Hearing
none
so
move
item,
6E
approval
of
a
selection
committee
recommendation
on
the
following
five
ranked
firms
shut,
surveying,
sjb
group,
Crescent
engineering
and
mapping
Earls
and
Associates
and
quality
engineering
and
approving
enter
into
a
contract
for
professional
surveying
and
subservice
utility.
Second
I
have
a
motion
by
Ms
Caso,
a
second
by
Mr
Lawler,
any
questions,
any
objection,
hearing,
none
so
move
item,
6f
approval
of
resolution,
granting
or
authority
to
the
parish
president
to
accept
and
allocate
Federal
funding
to
two
projects.
A
All
right
and
we
have
a
motion
by
Miss
Caso,
a
second
by
Mr
Robert
I,
would
like
to
comment
just
I'm
gonna
make
it
very
brief.
So
this
is
federal
money
we
got
due
to
the
horrific
flooding
from
me
of
21
and
at
bucks
swamp
area.
Miss
casser
has
led
to
charge
and
Parish
president
and
has
been
by
our
side
the
whole
time.
We
want
to
allocate
this
1.65
million
dollars
to
stay
in
that
area.
A
H
Because
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
yeah
Robin
is
out
on
vacation
and
he
and
I
and
Johan
and
Davin
really
worked
together
on
this
video
with
technology.
Thought
it'd
be
good
to
put
a
kind
of
a
recap
of
the
last
year
and
a
half
kind
of
going
along
with
the
resolution
of
the
struggles
over
the
last
couple
years
and
what
we've,
what
we've
accomplished
as
a
team
and
you
all
as
the
district
in
the
administration.
So
hats
off
to
all
of
you.
No,
we
can
do.
H
H
H
H
A
A
A
A
A
A
C
F
I
Yeah
I
just
I,
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
their
work.
It's
you
know
finally,
to
get
that
fraud
by
you
project
done
after
all
of
these
years
is
just
was
Monument.
It
was
Monumental,
it
was
a
pleasure
to
be
there.
It
was
a
great
ribbon
cutting
it
was
fun.
We
really
had
a
good
time
and
it
was
great
to
be
there
with
everybody
and
I
I.
Just
cannot
thank
you
all
enough
for
getting
that
project
done.
Thank
you.
So
much.
E
E
I'm
gonna
thank
the
board
when
you
look
and
you
kind
of
grasp
how
much
was
done.
Not
one
entity
was
responsible
for
it
we're
all
responsible
and
it
takes
all
of
us
to
get
to
this
degree
of
performance,
and
so
you
know
or
hard-working
men
and
women
out
there.
They
can't
do
it
without
our
support.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
board
and
you
know,
Ron
and
and
Jade
and
Dav
and
Johan
and
the
rest
of
the
staff,
all
those
supervisors
for
pushing
their
guys
every
day.
But
it's
it's.
E
When
you
look
at
back
at
that
video,
you
really
seeing
some
true
progress
and
what
we
have
on
the
horizon,
with
with
the
lawridge
levy
starting
construction
first
quarter
next
year.
Currently
the
tiltware
system
I'll
forbid
right
now,
the
finishing
up
with
the
New
River
dredging
they're
about
to
hit
Highway
44.
we're
seeing
some
real
progress
there.
So
huge
I
can
tell
you
that
the
cleanup
from
Ida
we
were
one
of
the
first
parishes
to
get
that
much
work
done
that
quickly.
When
we
finished
other
parishes
were
just
getting
started.
E
B
Yeah
Echo
wood,
councilwoman
casual
said
the
progress
has
been
phenomenal,
I
mean
we,
we
approve
the
dollars,
but
you
got
boots
on
the
ground
and
those
are
the
people
getting
the
work
done
and
we
can't
thank
you
guys
enough.
I
know
the
New
River
Project
got
delayed
had
some
issues,
some
hiccups,
but
I
look
forward
to
the
day
next
year.
I
think
it
extended
it
to
May
or
April
of
23,
and
we
can
go
out
there
and
and
do
a
ribbon,
cutting
and
I.
B
E
So
we
don't
have
to
have
to
wait
for
them,
but
super
excited
to
see
that
one
finish
up
and
the
other
one
get
started
almost
in
in
timing
wise
in
that
in
that
segment
of
time,
so
yeah
super
excited
they
did
get
delayed
for
a
little
bit,
but
they're
really
making
some
true
progress
now,
so
we're
super
excited
to
see
it,
so
they
are
performing
a
lot
better.
H
Davis,
Co.
E
E
Once
we
get
into
the
the
housing
and
the
structures
and
Gonzales
there,
it's
going
to
get
tight
so
we're,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
those
challenges
and
assisting
them
Moon
services
with
with
the
necessary
Logistics
to
get
it
done
and
then
once
they
get
through
Gonzales
and
it's
on
to
the
Weir
and
then
hopefully
that
we're
a
project
will
be
kicking
off
relatively
soon.
That.
C
B
I
I,
don't
have
to
have
an
answer
tonight:
Mr
President,
but
I
would
like
to
talk
with
you
in
the
next
few
days
about
the
highway
74
project
and
where
we
are
with
that.
No,
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
so
it's
certainly
no
need
to
discuss
it
now,
but
anxious
to
hear
about
it
in
the
next
few
days.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
I'll,
just
piggy
back
real
quick
one
thing,
I'm
really
excited
about
that
and
we
haven't
really.
You
know
seen
I
got
a
little
sample
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
oh,
what
Brian,
Martinez
and
his
group
are
working
on
right.
You
know,
sort
of
projects
are,
are
awesome.
You
know
we're
seeing
these
phenomenal
projects
that
you
know
they've
been
in
the
works
for
years,
but
we
all
know
we
all
know
the
struggles.
Our
system
has
internally
right.
We
with
the
elevations
and
everything.
A
Well,
you
know
to
to
map
every
foot
of
you
know
level,
one
two
three
and
four
tributaries
and
put
a
a
dollar
amount.
How
much
does
it
cost
to
cut?
You
know
this
ditch?
How
much
does
it
cost
to
dig
this
ditch
and
buy
you
a
canal?
And
so,
whenever
his
group
is
done
with
that
GIS
mapping
and
we
can
really
really
put
a
budget
to
a
map
and
put
those
visuals
together
and
show
the
public.
Okay
look,
there's
a
reason.
We
can't
cut
your
ditch
every
six
months
and
here's
why
right?
A
It
would
cost
us
40
million
dollars
a
year.
We
got
25
million.
So
just
the
information
and
the
knowledge
and
all
that
stuff
so
honestly
out
of
everything,
except
for
originally
I'm,
excited
about
that,
probably
more
than
anything
but
I'm
really
excited
for
this
new
mapping.
That
they've
been
working
on
for
the
last
few
months
whenever
that's
ready
to
unveil
because
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
complete
Game
Changer,
something
that
we've
never
had
before.
Yeah.
E
E
We
know
exactly
where
they
are,
but
to
turn
them
off
turn
them
off
in
a
layer
as
well
as
h,
t
b
is
doing
their
delivery
on
the
modeling
and
they
are
doing
lunch
and
learns
with
our
staff,
and
if
you
thought
you
were
blown
away
by
the
first
part,
wait
do
you
see
this
I
would
love
to
make
a
presentation
when
we
learn
the
ins
and
outs
of
this
system?
It's
very
it's
it's
it's
it's
very
complicated,
but
we
got
staff
dedicated
to
learning
it
and
they're
assisting
us
currently.
E
So
wait
till
you
see
that
super
exciting,
where
we're
headed
with
the
technology
but
yeah
kudos
to
H
TV
spending
the
time
with
our
staff
training
them
to
utilize.
A
lot
of
this
modeling
that
they've
been
doing
for
the
you
know
the
certainly
the
past
year,
if
not
longer
year
and
a
half.
Now
we're
going
to
really
start
to
see
the
benefit
of
that
and
start
taking
our
staff
internally.
Utilizing
that
model
to
look
at
different
things
of
different
projects.
E
Instead
of
having
to
wait
so
kudos
to
them
and
I'm
sure
Daniel
may
may
have
some
in
his
report,
not
sure,
but
I
wanted
to
mention
that,
because
it's
exciting
stuff
to
come
and
it's
it's
really
exciting
to
see.
So
as
soon
as
we
learn
it,
we'll
probably
have
y'all
come
in
in
groups
and
and
take
a
look
at
it
because
it's
good
stuff
awesome.
A
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
to
remind
everyone,
the
the
open
houses,
Mr
monzon,
sent
out
an
email
last
week.
So
if
anybody
would
like
to
go
sit
down
with
ancient
TV
on
the
101
for
the
30,
you
know
projects
and
all
that
stuff.
He
emailed
us
last
week
shot
a
few
dates.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
everybody's
radar,
we're
shooting
for
the
week
after
Thanksgiving,
correct.
A
I
K
So
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
I'm
Dan,
Tanner,
John
monzon's
out
today,
so
I'm
filling
in
for
him,
we
got
a
quick
little
update
on
our
adapt
and
FNP.
So
the
first,
this
first
slide
I
mean
we
submitted
our
95
draft
final
draft
for
comments
on
October
31st,
like
Chase
mentioned
we're
looking
to
meet
with
all
y'all,
to
kind
of
go
through
that
and
and
incorporate
y'all's
comments
for
a
final
submittal.
By
the
end
of
this
year,
our
team
gathered
60
plus
concept
level
projects.
K
We
use
this
prioritization
criteria
to
narrow
it
down
to
30
projects
where
we
did
proposed
modeling
and
benefit
cost
ratios.
For
that
this
is
mostly
stuff
that
you
know
of
so
this
is
our
list
of
30
projects
that
we
came
down
to
the
slot.
The
column
on
the
left
is
not
significant.
It
matches
with
the
the
figure
on
the
next
slide
to
give
you
some
locations
of
these
projects,
the
benefit
cost
ratio
rank
column.
K
You
can
see
the
right-of-way
maintenance
permits,
whereas
checks
where,
where
we
have
right,
where
the
parish
owns
right
away,
where
maintenance
permits
are
actually
already
in
hand,
and
then
we
have
an
estimated
project
cost
for
each
project.
This
includes
the
land
costs
when
the
parish
doesn't
own
the
land.
K
This,
the
biggest
Takeaway
on
this
side,
this
this
is
it's
broken
down
by
District.
The
biggest
takeaway
is
that
a
lot
of
these
projects
overlap
districts.
It's
really
hard,
I
mean
there's.
You
know
a
project
made
the
central
location
of
a
detention
Palm,
maybe
in
one
location,
but
it's
going
to
have
benefits
throughout
multiple
districts.
K
With
all
the
FMP
stuff
going
on,
we
still
have
the
current
existing
projects
through
the
adapt
program.
We're
really
getting
involved
with
the
Marvin
bro
Levy
improvements,
the
Bayou
Conway
Pump
Station
expansion
projects
and
then
we're
working
on
grants,
for
you
could
see
them
on
the
top
right
and
a
couple
of
FMP
projects
we're
moving
into
putting
together
grants
for
those.
K
E
If
y'all
can
come
in
in
groups,
we
can
further
discuss
the
financial
part
of
it.
We
were
conservative
with
4
million,
and
the
original
amount
was
five
depending
upon
the
direction
of
the
board.
If
you
choose
to
start
focusing
more
on
these
projects,
instead
of
some
of
the
smaller
projects,
we
can
definitely
meet.
The
five
that'll
make
us
200
million
and
10
instead
of
instead
of
the
number
shown.
E
E
You
know
super
excited
to
see
the
shadows
of
manchac
phase
one
come
under
what
we
had
budgeted
for
it.
So
savings
like
that.
We
can.
We
can
look
to
shifting
to
this
program
to
hopefully
hit
that
5
million
Mark
in
the
future
and
who
knows
in
10
years
what
we'll
be
taking
in
for
Revenue,
so
some
opportunity
there
to
grow
that
number
up
to
around
200
for
sure,
if
not
higher,.
