Description
East Ascension Drainage Board - July 11, 2023
A
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
this
July
11
2023
meeting
of
the
East
Ascension
drainage,
District
number
one
Board
of
Commissioners
I,
appreciate
everyone
being
here
tonight
and
I
would
like
to
ask
councilman
Dempsey,
Lambert
or
commissioner
Lambert
to
lead
us
in
the
invocation
and
pledge.
Please.
B
B
A
Certainly,
there's
a
public
comment
time
available
affiliated
with
each
agenda
items.
If
you
are
here
to
speak
on
a
particular
item,
please
come
up
grab
a
red
or
a
green
card.
Put
your
name
on
that
and
I
will
call
on
you
to
speak
at
the
appropriate
time
and
look
forward
to
hearing
from
any
member
of
the
public.
That
has
a
comment
to
make
about
a
particular
agenda.
Item.
A
A
Any
questions,
any
objections,
hearing
none
that
motion
passes:
Item
B
approval
to
correct
a
typographical
error
to
amendment
number,
seven
to
the
master
contract
with
infinity
engineering,
Conway,
Bayou,
Pump,
Station,
otherwise
known
as
the
Sorrento
Palm
Station.
Thank
you
for
making
that
available
to
us.
That's
an
upgrade
on
May
9
2023
amendment
number
seven
was
approved
by
this
body.
It
was
discovered
afterwards
that
there
was
in
fact
no
amendment
number
six
in
place
and
that
the
amendment
approved
should
have
been
number
six,
not
number
seven.
C
A
A
That's
that's
an
inside!
Joke
item
number.
Are
there
any
objections
to
this
motion?
Any
questions
hearing
none
that
motion
passes
item
five
I
do
not
have
any
reports
or
announcements;
I,
look
forward
to
and
I'm
happy
to
be

see
everybody
and
let's
move
along
General
business
item.
A
Thank
you,
Amanda.
Are
there
any
objections?
Hearing
none
that
motion
passes
item
C
an
update
of
the
drainage,
ordinance
and
requirements
of
Ascension
Parish
relative
to
those
of
Gonzalez
I'm.
Sorry,
Item.
B
excuse
me
approval
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
Triton,
Controls
and
Engineering
for
an
amount
not
to
exceed
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
Ascension
Parish
government
scada
system.
Well,
Mr
Dawson
I
would
not
want
to
skip
you.
Thank
you.
I
apologize
for
that.
E
So
when,
if
you
remember
when
we,
when
we
started
this,
we
outlined
phase
one
and
phase
two
which
is
completed
phase
one
phase,
two
got
a
proposal
from
Triton
or
and
we're
ready
to
execute
that
it's
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
proposal
and
people
had
to
go
over
that
with.
F
So
the
stage
that
I'm
in
right
now
is
I'm
completing
an
evaluation.
We've
recommended
one
scada
software
and
I'm
actually
going
through
building
a
skeleton
application
for
that
software
to
actually
test
on
the
system
and
just
getting
thoroughly
into
into
that
testing.
So
I'm
still
involved
in
that,
then
the
next,
the
next
part
would
be
creating
a
system
block
diagram.
We
need
something
the
overall
view
of
all
the
connectivity
of
each
site,
the
all
the
hmis
that
we
will
be
installed
in
the
future,
all
the
plcs
or
the
IP
addresses.
F
F
You
just
said:
PLC,
PLC,
programmable
logic,
controller,
it's
the
brain
that
that
talks
to
the
field
equipment,
HMI,
human
machine
interface.
So
that's
a
computer
screen
with
a
with
an
actual
PC
that
the
operator
can
monitor
indications
from
the
field
and
make
changes
to
the
start.
Stop
pumps,
monitor
levels
and.
D
F
F
Oh,
not
not
a
historian
person,
it's
another
computer,
so
and
as
as
large
as
as
the
computer,
the
memory
in
the
computer
is,
you
can
keep
data,
you
know
just
keep
increasing
the
size
of
your
PC
or
the
size
of
the
memory
in
your
PC
and
and
that
will
you
can
we'll
be
able
to
look
customized
trends
of
levels
and
rain
rain
totals
and
that
that
nature,
so
that
will
be
part
of
the
scada
system
as
well.
F
Bros
right
so
Marvin,
bro
and
Henderson
Bayou.
Let
me
back
up
on
plc's.
You
have
all
kinds
of
different
flavors
model:
flavors
like
manufacturers
of
plc's,
Marvin,
bro
and
Henderson.
Bayou
are
Siemens
Siemens
plc's
they're.
They
have
their
own
stand
alone,
little
Network,
so
the
PLC
is
talking
to
the
it's
a
local
HMI.
That's
in
the
in
the
panel
that
the
operator
can
and
look
at
values
and
adjust
start
to
stop
the
engines
from
there.
F
So
we'll
part
of
this
will
be.
This
is
specifying
a
network
to
connect
those
those
plc's
to
the
overall
scada
Network
and
in
the
interim
we
will
be
able
to
access
the
data
out
of
those
Siemens
plcs
to
be
able
to
get
them
into
the
scada
system
until
we
upgrade
those
those
seamless
plcs
to
an
Allen
Bradley
in
the
future.
The
goal
is
to
get
Ascension
Parish
standardized
with
one
family
of
plc's
in
one
family
of
the
hmis
that
helps
with
spare
parts
and
troubleshooting
everybody.
F
You
know
you
don't
have
10
different
systems
to
be
familiar
with.
Also,
standardization
in
this
I've
actually
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
drawings
for
the
new
Weir
New
River,
where
and
just
going
through
the
drawings.
F
The
drawings
had
a
few
issues
with
them,
but
part
of
the
specification
I
believe
in
the
future
would
be
to
standardize
how
what
types
of
drawings
we
want
and
how
they're
laid
out
it
would
as
much
as
we
could
standardize
on
that
it'll
be
easier
for
troubleshooting
in
the
field
and
easier
to
for
anybody
to
look
at
the
drawings
and
understand.
What's
what
information
is
on
the
drawing,
including
billing
materials
that
these
drawings
have
a
bill
of
materials
with
a
different
way
to
show
that
information
to
understand
what
is
where
on
the
drawing?
F
So
those
are
the
things
that
that
we
would
help
to.
You
know
the
power
to
standardize
on.
F
So
at
the
East
worthy
site,
we're
going
to
have
an
HMI
there
with
a
developmental
development
software,
so
development
software.
So
you
make
the
changes
to
the
the
HMI.
The
the
program
historian
will
be
at
at
he's,
he's
worthy
on
a
on
another
server
and
we'll
have
a
second
another.
What
engineering
Workstation
PC
that
would
have
all
of
your
programming
software.
F
So
all
the
software
that's
required
to
program
the
Allen
Bradley
plc's
and
the
rain
gauge
plcs
in
whatever
is
going
to
end
up
being
installed
at
Sorrento
and
the
different
pumping
stations.
So
I
would
envision
the
engineer
working
on
that
or
whoever
troubleshooting
can
either
be
at
that
PC,
troubleshooting
or
jump
in
on
a
local
network
at
at
the
at
the
sites.
But
you
will
have
they
could
also
even
remote
into
that
into
that
PC.
F
So
so
that's
where
that
that's
that,
so
that's
what
you
would
have
the
East
worthy
then
starting
at
Sorrento
you'd
have
a
runtime
HMI
it'd
have
the
same.
We
have
one
HMI
application
duplicated
at
each
site,
so
at
Sorrento,
Marvin.
E
F
F
F
So
the
I've
already
successfully
into
the
the
application
that
I'm
working
on
now
was
able
to
bring
in
the
USGS
data
into
that
application.
Display
it
on
a
on
a
map
still
evaluating
that
to
make
sure
there's
you
know
no
bugs
or
whatnot
in
there,
but
and
also
we
have
rain
gauge
information
on
on
either
that
map
or
a
different
map
we
could
switch
between
Maps,
even
and
on
the
map.
F
We'll
have
a
basic
information
on
each
pumping
station
on
that
map
and
then
you'll
be
able
to
click
on
each
pumping
station
to
bring
in
details
of
those
pumping
sites.
The
one
thing
I
didn't
mention
is
the
five
older
generators
at
Marvin.
Bro
would
be
one
of
the
last
things
that
we
would
get
into
is.
The
instrumentation
will
probably
need
to
be,
or
there's
no
instrumentation
installed
right
now
that
would
interface
with
an
HMR
a
PLC,
so
that
would
need
to
be
specified
installed.
E
So
I
thank
the
summer
I'm
very,
very
close
at
the
end
of
this
phase,
two
of
where
you
guys
wanted
us
to
be
in
the
beginning
will
be
there
where
we
can
automatically
the
pumps
can
start
and
stop
based
on
rainfall
the
you
know
we
can
start
and
stop
the
pumps
and
look
at
them
from
the
offices
over
here
from
dpws,
right
and
local
stations.
So
you
know
I,
think
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
more
like
what
you
guys
were
looking
for
at
the
end
of
this
round.
H
Yeah-
and
this
may
be
as
much
of
a
question
for
Bill
how
many
USGS
gauges
do
we
currently
pay
for.
H
F
H
I
H
H
H
I
I
It
gives
us
our
original
12
that
that
we
own
with
their
22.
now
we've
got
a
good
Network
that
we're
working
off
of
even
though
some
are
delay.
It's
just
it's
just
important
to
point
out
there
so
phase
one
was
to
go
in
and
assess
all
the
different
equipment,
all
the
different
Electronics
from
the
fuel
stations
to
the
pump
stations
you
had
Henderson
on
one
thing
you
had
Sorrento
on
another,
and
so
that's
what
Travis's
original
thing
is
now
that
we
have
that
full
assessment
of
phase
one.
I
That's
what
it
is,
we're
getting
these
stations
online,
so
everything
can
be
in
one
place
and
or
instead
of
how
we've
installed
it
in
hodgepodge
kind
of
little
stages
with
different
equipment,
different
softwares
he's
putting
it
all
together
and
he's
also
our
owner's
rep.
So
anything
we
need
to
go
out
for
a
bid
that
is
associated
with
scada.
I
He
helps
us
write
the
deliverables,
the
plans,
the
specs,
because
we
don't
have
anybody
on
staff
with
that
knowledge,
so
he's
also
serving
that
role
as
well,
and
so
when
Marvin
bro
comes
up,
he
will
be
assisting
in
writing
all
those.
So
we
can
go
out
to
bid
the
Tilt.
We
are
currently
he's.
Given
us
those
comments.
Look,
this
is
what
I'm
looking
for
this
is
what
I'm
seeing
he's
going
to
test
those
making
sure
it
works
into
the
system,
so
that
eventually
we
can
have
one
system
all
talking
all
the
same.
H
F
Wouldn't
say
unlimited,
but
well
you
well,
you
could
buy
a
system
that
is
unlimited,
300,
000
tags.
I.
Think
is
the
number.
Don't
quote
me
on
that,
but
that's.
H
I
appreciate
everything,
I
mean
it
all
makes
sense,
it's
definitely
necessary
and
that's
just
one
more
thing
and
I,
don't
even
know.
If
you
deal
with
the
aspect
of
locating
and
finding
out
where
we
put
more
of
these
types
of
gauges,
but
I
would
love.
I
would
like
to
have
more
to
help,
and
you
know,
obviously,
this
helps
the
system
from
working
against
itself
also
against
all
internet
network.
But
thank
you
sure.
B
B
You
know
I,
don't
want
this
Parish
held
hostage.
You
know
we
get
halfway
through
this
and
we're
looking
for
passwords
and
we're
looking
for
all
kind
of
other
ways
to
get
a
pump
on
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
all
know
what's
going
on,
because
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
I've
pushed
for
over
20
years
and-
and
we
are
finally
now
getting
to
the
place
where
we're
going
to
have
everything
on
one
one
page.
But
you
know
it's
too
many
other
government
you
hear
and
they
taking
over
different
parts
of
it.
I
Is
an
important
component
in
the
contract,
so,
yes
he's
looking
to
ensure
that
we're
protected
from
hackers
coming
in
and
doing
anything,
but
we
can
also
start
each
of
these
machines
manually
at
the
stations
as
well.
It
just
doesn't
lock
us
into
one
one
particular
mythology.
It
allows
us
to
do
either
or
but
but
each
person
at
each
station
will
have
that
display,
and
so
they
can
see
what's
going
on
at
Sorrento,
we
can
see
what's
going
on.
That's
that's
Marvin
bro,
whatever
vice
versa,
so
they
they.
All.
I
F
Yeah
we
will
review
the
security
with
your
I.T
department
and
make
sure
that
it
is
secure
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
places,
air
gap,
these
systems,
but
I,
don't
with
connectivity
to
USGS
that
that
precludes
air
gapping,
so
you
are
going
to
be
connected
to
that
is
connected
to
the
internet.
That's.
K
A
Are
there
questions
Mr,
Lawler.
A
It
was
I,
think
Joel
Robert
made
the
motion
and
Mr
Malone
song
made
the
second.
Are
there
any
questions?
Further
questions,
any
objections:
hearing
none
that
motion
passes
item
C,
update
of
the
drainage,
ordinance
and
requirements
of
Ascension
Parish
relative
to
those
of
Gonzales
and
Sorrento
Mr
Compton
and
Mr
Sharon.
H
L
Right
just
to
remind
everyone,
this
is
a
task
that
we
were
asked
by
this
board
as
a
CSR
sort
of
just
comb
through
submittee
that
the
drainage
order
says
that's
particularly
over
the
East
Bank.
That's
an
uncorporators
of
Ascension
Parish,
City,
Gonzalez
Sorrento
and
just
come
back
to
this
board
and
sort
of
just
communicate.
Just
what
were
the
findings
worth
and
you
know
the
different
drainages
or
instant
codes
that
we
may
have
so
tonight.
This
is
sort
of
you
know.
L
You
know
I
assume
that
everyone
in
your
own
packets,
you
have
sort
of
it's
a
summary
table
that
you'll
see
here
that
says
csrs
on
it.
As
many
of
you
all
are
aware:
the
drainage
ordinances
and
Municipal
codes.
It's
it's!
It's
daunting
how
everything's
tied
together
it's
very
complicated,
so
I
did
my
best
here
to
try
to
break
it
down.
L
What
I
call
is
the
big
major
buckets
of
every
single
drainage
ordinance,
try
to
compare
apples
to
apples
across
the
board
and
if
for
y'all,
if
y'all
wanted
to
come
through
ordinances,
that's
you'll
see
some
of
the
same
parentheses
sort
of
let
you
know
if
you
had
to
go
back
to
somebody
oranges,
how
do
you
go
and
tie
this
stuff
to
it?
So
all
right
so
I'll
know
it's
the
best
way
to
go
about
it.
L
D
C
Foot
line
by
line
yeah,
but
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
doing
this,
because
I
did
know
that
there
are
some
changes
in
there
not
see
changes.
There
are
differences
between
General
generally,
let's
say
Gonzalez.
Pretty
much
does
everything
we
do.
Yes,
yeah
almost
exactly
there's
some
differences
between
the
town
of
Sorrento
and
Ascension
Parish.
It
looks
like
some
of
the
differences
benefit,
the
town
of
Sorrento
from
a
drainage
perspective.
Some
the
differences
benefit
that
the
unincorporated
portions
of
Ascension
Parish
and
the
trainers
perspective
really
Ron
is
the
President
coming
back.
M
I
mean
we
've
looked
at
it
and
we
and
we
had
Mr
Compton,
sit
on
and
as
well
there's
a
few
things
that,
like
you
said
that
are
a
little
bit
different,
but
overall
they're
pretty
similar,
but
there
were
a
few
things
would
feel
that
are
a
little
bit
different
yeah,
so
I
would
suggest
we
take
a
look
at
that.
A
M
A
Have
the
expectation
that
we
will
take
a
look
at
that
we
will
get
with
Sorrento
and
and
have
some
discussion
about
whether
these
are
things
we
could
could
make
more
similar,
rather
than
less
am
I
right.
C
Can
we
put
a
timetable
on
that
that
we
have
that,
maybe
not
by
the
next
meeting
or
the
next
one,
maybe
the
third
meeting
from
now?
So
we
are
in
what
July
is
August
or
October?
The
administration
could
come
back
to
us
with
recommendations
based
on
this,
how
we
can
either
work
with
Sorrento
that
they
would
change,
possibly
their
ordinances,
or
we
would
change
hours
to
get
more
in
line
and
make
sure
we're.
L
Yes
say:
there's
some
recent
edits
from
the
town
of
Sorrento
I'd,
say
in
the
past
couple
of
months,
and
their
effort
was
to
get
match
their
original
intent.
As
my
understanding,
their
tent
is
all
the
ways
to
be
matched
in
Ascension
Parish,
at
least
that's
the
minimal.
It
may
be
considered
what's
more
unique
in
their
area
and
then,
through
that
review,
there's
little
stuff
periods
intentions.
What
the
intent
was
got
some
things
real
on
this.
What
this
reflects
the
latest
revisions
by
the
town
of
Sorrento.
A
C
I
A
I
Yeah
I'm
not
sure,
but
the
city
of
Gonzales
as
well
is
plus
one
not
plus
two.
So
establishmento
is
not
the
only
one
it's
what
they
passed
for
their
residents.
I
know
when
the
firms
got
redone
at
Sorrento,
they
went
a
foot
higher,
so
actually
it
got
adjusted
by
two
feet.
So
their
lower
is
is
I,
guess
somewhat
I,
guess
beneficial
I.
I
Think
there's
no
excuse
me,
I,
think
there's
got
lowered
and
so
that
extra
foot
gave
them
a
two
foot
on
the
adjustment
of
the
firm
because
I
always
tell
them
how
how
odd
that
was.
But
nonetheless,
that's
also
the
city
of
Gonzales
requirement.
I,
don't
know
of
any
negative
impact,
but
I
will
ask
Marcy
and
and
to
see,
if
that's
the
case,
I
don't
know
of
one.
It's
never
been
mentioned
to
me.
Okay,.
C
C
And
I
don't
know
whether
it's
good
or
bad
I
notice,
offside
field
mitigation
options
that
you
know
Ascension
Parish
in
unincorporated
we
have.
We
have
requirements
that
minor
and
major
subdivisions.
Large
developments
Townhomes
that
they're
not
allowed
to
mitigate
off-site
Sorrento
allows
them
to
mitigate
off-site.
Is
there
a
benefit
to
one
of
the
other,
which
is
an
educational
thing?
For
me,.
D
L
That's
a
tough
one,
I
would
say
this
is
one
of
those
rules
to
where,
if
you
just
say
how
all
minor
major
subdivisions
can't
think
of
major
subdivisions
any
recently
in
the
town
of
Sorrento
yeah.
So
we
gather
these
differences,
but
how
is
that
really
actually
going
to
apply
I?
Don't
think
it's
in
the
reality.
It's
going
to
impact
anything
any
differently.
Okay,
I'm,
just
curious,
yeah,.
L
No
I
did
like
I
said:
I
did
my
best
to
summarize
on
this
table.
Of
course,
if
you've
got
any
questions
on
you,
but
all
in
all
you
look
at
it.
You
know
the
if
you
ordinances
or
you
know,
across
the
board,
they're
extremely
consistent,
one
may
have
a
little
uptick.
That
implies
is
more
astringent.
Would
you
like
the
example
I
just
gave
there,
for
you
know
for
the
one,
but
how
many
large
subdivisions
do
you
see
in
the
town
of
Sorrento?
L
You
lean
towards
the
other
one
one
says,
plus
two
but
town
of
Sorrento
considers
recommendation.
They
don't
allow
film
mitigation
on
others,
but
they've
required
to
mitigate
the
500
years.
You
started
watching
between
the
give
and
takes.
Essentially
the
good
thing
is
across
the
board.
I
would
say:
they're
all
can
consistent
and
and
why
I
say
consistent
they're
up
to
par
or
greater
than
many
of
the
drainage
ordinances
you'll
see
across
Louisiana
and
I.
Look
at
many
places:
calcium
Parish,
Lafayette,
Saint,
Tammany,
Terrebonne
Parish.
A
Thank
you.
A
lot
of
work
is
going
into
all
of
that
over
the
years.
No
doubt,
and
we
appreciate
your
guidance
almost
every
step
of
the
way
on
that,
certainly
at
to
not
at
the
risk
of
being
redundant,
appreciate
the
two
cities
in
our
on
the
East
Bank
being
as
close
as
possible
to
us
and
where,
where
they
are
not
equal,
they
are
they
offset
with
each
other.
Thank
you
any
other
questions.
Gentlemen.
A
J
J
Okay
recap:
Shadows
of
manchac
phase
one.
Essentially,
we
were
increasing
hydraulic
capacity
in
the
front
of
the
subdivision
due
to
flooding
issues.
That's
basically
what
this
project
was
I,
don't
know.
If
y'all
remember
discussing
the
phase
one
and
phase
two
phase
two
was
the
was
the
retention
Pond
and
we
were
going
to
see
if
this
was
going
to
resolve
all
the
issues
and
I
think
it
will
here's
just
some.
You
know
progress
picks
and
let's
catch
basins,
concrete
pipe.
J
J
D
J
A
we
have
a
an
aerial
view
of
the
whole
project
coming
up
in
the
the
center
picture
is
some
trench
grains
that
we
put
right
on
the
edge
of
the
property
line,
because
there's
water
that
comes
from
the
neighbors
and
was
contributing
to
the
issue.
So
this
is
going
to
catch
some
of
it,
not
all
of
it,
but.
J
J
D
J
There's
your
first
Inlet
from
the
outfall.
This
is
looking
at
the
sidewalk
that
were
replaced
continuing
on
that
was
it.
J
J
J
J
final
engineering
costs
102
756,
so
you
get
another
credit
on
the
Mountain.
Construction
costs
are
budgeted.
Our
estimated
costs
going
into
the
bid
process
was
470
500..
The
low
bid
was
358
129
dollars.
Final
construction
was
347
and
change
so
we're
under
budget
11,
11
000
on
the
construction.
A
J
Total
project
savings
you're
right
at
you,
know
35
and
a
half,
so
you
know
I
feel
it
was
a
good
project.
Overall
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
gonna.
It's
gonna
help
the
the
subdivision.
So
you
know
we're
on
time
we're
on
the
budget
on
all
aspects.
Both
construction
and
Engineering,
so
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
win-win
for
the
pairs.
Great.
J
Was
Industrial
Enterprises,
yeah,
they're
they're,
actually
an
older
contracting
company,
but
they
don't.
They
do
a
lot
of
sub
work.
You
know
they're,
they
don't
do
a
lot
of
prime
work,
so
they're
Subs
to
a
lot
of
people
but
yeah.
They
were
good
excellent
to.
A
Have
a
motion
and
a
second:
are
there
any
objections?
Hearing
none
that
motion
passes
Mr
Jared
I,
thank
you
for
coming
and
that
Aerial
Work
was
beautiful
as
well.
Thanks
for
the
birds
item
F
approval.
Well,
let's
see
we
got
to
go
to
E
approval
of
a
substantial
completion
of
the
Shadows
of
manchac
phase.
One
sub-service
drainage
have
a
motion
by
Mr
Lawler
second,
by
Mr
Lambert.
Are
there
any
questions,
any
objections?
A
Hearing
none
that
motion
passes
item
F
approval
of
amendment
one
to
the
master
task
order,
contract
for
flood
control,
support
with
delcon
LLC
to
increase
the
total
contract
amount
by
an
additional
million
dollars
for
a
new
contract
total
not
to
exceed
two
million
dollars.
Mr
Robin
tell
us
why
you
need
this.
N
Good
evening,
so,
as
we
know
over
the
last
year,
dalecon
is
our
secret.
Our
support
group
for
pumping
stations
at
our
flood
infrastructures,
so
through
the
the
incident,
the
maintenance,
the
repairs,
the
contract
that
we
had
in
the
mornings
that
was
set
aside
to
sustain
us
through
the
hurricane
Seasons.
We
spent
a
considerable
amount
of
give
y'all
just
a
little
little
brief
update
of
understanding
of
where
we
spent
that
money.
N
So
we
spent
about
10
grand
on
safety
engine
number
one
repairs
which
is
the
gearbox,
the
engine,
the
pump
neighborhood
of
675
thousand
the
actual
clutch
incident
with
the
air
leak,
268
000
to
put
a
very
good
heirloom
back
in
there
15
000,
and
we
repaired
and
upgraded
the
air
system
minus
dual
compressors
at
21
000..
That's
a
million
dollars
right
there.
So
that
shot
my
budget
clean
out
the
banks
for
maintenance.
N
So
it
left
me
with
with
just
enough
money
out
of
my
23
budget
here
to
work
on
number
one's
pump,
so
we're
down
to
right
around
500
000
to
operate
off
of
we're
coming
up
we're
in
July
August
September
is
the
Heat
of
the
Moment
for
hurricanes.
So
we
felt
like
it's
very
important,
maybe
at
least
get
this
budget
picked
back
up
to
where
we
were
on
a
normal
maintenance.
N
If
we
didn't
have
these
issues-
and
we
were
where
we're
at
now,
we
feel
like
we're
at
a
very
good
Baseline
once
engine
once
number
one
is
put
back
together,
we're
at
a
very
good
Baseline.
The
maintenance
is
up,
the
safety's
up
stations
are
beautiful,
they're
operating
great,
and
we,
we
believe
with
this
additional
money
that
you
know
put
us
in
a
good
position.
If
we
were
to
have
to
do
any
of
the
maintenance
and
remember
that
this
doesn't
just
serve
more
than
bro.
N
A
So
I
want
to
add
at
this
point
that
Jaden
and
Ron
have
been
very
closely
in
touch
with
me
as
we
discuss
the
need
for
this
additional
funds.
I'm
going
to
encourage
my
fellow
Commissioners
to
support
this
effort,
especially
going
into
hurricane
season,
we
need
to.
We
need
to
be
able
to
operate
fully.
We
need
to
be
able
to
breathe
comfortably
that
if
we
have
a
maintenance
issue
we
can
we
can
afford
to
fix
it.
A
G
N
It
there
no
sir
wear
and
tear
that
that
station
is
over
30
years
old.
Look
look.
We
got
a
listening
tour
coming
up,
I'd
like
to
invite
y'all
to
look
at
some
of
the
videos
we
made
of
that
pump
coming
out
the
bottom
end.
It's
a
bushing
you're,
putting
you're
lubing
that
thing
underwater.
It
was
ate
up
to
the
point
where
you
could
just
see
through
the
metal.
It
was
time
to
come
out
the
engine
during
the
incident.
As
we
checked
these
items
and
second
checked
them.
N
It
was
noticed
that
the
engine
had
a
misfire
of
it's
very
hard
to
tell
on
2000
horsepower
six
liter
engine
so,
but
we
did
notice
it.
We
found
that
the
exhaust
valve
was
broken
half
on
one
of
the
cylinders
it
sent
that
fragment
into
the
turbo
damage
defends,
Into
Turbo,
the
turbo
along
was
100
Grand,
so
that
was
heads
turbo.
In
the
midst
of
that
you
had
a
vibration,
so
we
pulled
the
gearbox.
That's
when
we
found
these
slop
in
the
actual
pump
itself.
N
So,
as
y'all
know,
y'all
have
proved
in
the
past.
Y'all
have
had
several
gearboxes
that
were
updated,
I
think
there
was
some
Flex
in
them,
some
different
things
that
would
eat
the
gears
up.
So
we
took
the
opportunity
to
have
that
gearbox
checked.
We
had
it
updated,
had
all
these
gussets
put
in
it,
so
that
when
all
this
goes
back
up,
hopefully
we
can
get
another
30
years
out
of
this
thing
for
the
community,
so
it's
very
expensive
on
the
end,
but
look
at
it
right
right.
There
I
want
to
remind
y'all.
N
G
Absolutely
and-
and
you
said
so
from
the
culture
incident
did
I
hear
you
write
about
250.
G
N
Would
have
thought
this
was
very
catastrophic.
It
wasn't
this
was
this
was
no
morning
when
I
spent
on
maintenance
on
a
given
day
with
just
an
item
to
have
that
kind
of
money,
but
I
want
to
remind
y'all,
as
of
today,
I'm
in
touch
with
working
with
James
LeBlanc
Brett
Hughes,
on
getting
our
money
back
Professor
we're
insured
for
it.
We've
gotten
all
the
information
to
them,
I'm
in
the
middle
of
maybe
breaking
down
what
would
be
mechanical
or
fire
related,
so
we're
their
bread
is
very
close.
N
He's
been
working
with
us
every
day
on
this,
so
we
we
should
at
least
recoup
this
end
of
the
deal.
Okay,.
G
And
my
last
question
is
this:
gonna:
is
this
gonna
need
any
kind
of
budget
amendment
or
anything
like
that?
I
mean
we
had.
We.
N
Had
so
this
went
to
Finance
already
and
it's
a
it
was
introduced
at
the
last
council
meeting,
so
just
kind
of
seeking
a
pre-approval
to
once
it
is
once
it
has
been
accepted
as
an
ordinance
that
we
can
move
forward
with
it
and
a
thought
pattern
on
its
own
that
we're
in
July
I
don't
need
anything
to
kind
of
hold
us
up.
That
would
we
would
have
to
reach
out
for
for
money
in
another
pocket.
We
definitely
these.
We
we
don't
ask
we
respond.
Okay,
so
that's
very
important.
Thank.
G
A
N
A
A
K
So
I'll
get
right
to
it.
Last
month,
I
was
here
and
I
discussed
some
of
the
projects
that
were
tracking
today
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
top
five
number
one
being
the
Marvin
broad,
Pump
Station
the
levy
Improvement
project.
We
requested
additional
federal
funds
to
increase
in
construction
costs.
We've
been
going,
we've
have
some
meetings
and
calls
with
FEMA.
The
latest
proposal
is
to
get
some
phase.
Two
funds
moved
over
to
phase
one
to
cover
that
and
then
seek
additional
fund
phase
two
funds.
K
Once
we
know
what
the
project
is
actually
going
to
cost
once
design
is
done,
so
we
expect
to
hear
from
FEMA
back
this
week,
no
later
than
next
week,
buy
a
Conway
Center
at
the
pump
station
expansion.
The
for
the
amendment
was
approved
in
May
for
the
scada
Affinity
has
completed
100
draft
set
of
plans.
Hatb
has
reviewed
the
plans
and
turned
their
comments
for
Infinity
to
make
Corrections
and
they're
also
working
on
the
revised
BCA.
This
is
due
to
this
additional
scanner
that
was
requested
during
phase
one.
K
The
Sorrento
storm
surge
protection,
pld
bki,
are
working
through
design
on
the
central
parishes
having
monthly
progress
meetings
with
them.
The
Highway
22
gapping
project
is
still
in
the
conceptual
stage.
Latd
dotd
has
approved
all
setting
we're
number
one
about
60
feet
to
the
South.
There
were
two
options
for
that.
This
one's.
This
is
the
one
that
the
otd
chose
and
then
they're
also
performance
survey
in
order
to
produce
right
away
drawings
and
permits
for
the
bridge.
Only
there's,
there's
two
portions
to
this
project.
K
One
is
the
actual
Gap
in
on
22.
The
other
one
is
the
drainage
aspect
of
it
and
then
New
River
dredging,
bulkhead
repair
schedules.
That's
actually
done.
It
was
came
out
pretty
good,
then
moving
towards
close
out
of
construction,
some
of
the
grant
project
tracking.
K
You
also
saw
the
slot
last
month
the
three
projects
that
there
has
a
mitigation
grant
program
they're
in
we
haven't
heard
back
from
them,
yet
they're
still
being
processed
under
the
brick,
though
we
did
receive
some
good
news
there,
The
Bert,
Allen,
ditch
Improvement
and
detention
project.
We
did
receive
an
RFI.
We
have
a
deadline
to
reply
by
July
25th.
K
It
has
moved
on
to
the
next
round,
so
if
we
did
worried
that
that
one's
moving
along
so
hopefully
we
can
keep
moving
down
along
and
get
funded
the
lwl
Watershed
initiative
round
two
pre-ops.
Those
were
also
submitted:
they're
they're
in
a
the
folks
with
lwi
for
for
analysis
and
then
Statewide
flow
control
pre-apps.
We
would
return
those
in
on
May
the
next
they're
being
reviewed.
K
The
full
apps
will
be
due
on
October
1st,
so
we're
expected
to
hear
back
from
them
next
month
as
well
on
whether
or
not
they
need
some
additional
information
to
move
to
a
free,
a
full
pre,
full
app,
sorry
and
then
some
additional
opportunities
here,
there's
a
protect
Grant,
which
is
sort
of
promoting
resilient
operations
for
transformative,
efficient
and
cost
saving
Transportation
it's
a
mouthful,
but
that
one
is
a
geared
mostly
towards
resiliency,
on
Transportation
projects.
K
Although
there
are
some
synergies
with
drainage
projects,
we're
working
with
Jeff
I'll
move
a
session
to
see.
If
there's
anything,
we
can
do
there
and
then
what
that
recently
came
to
light
continuing
authorities.
Programs
cap
this
was
funded
under
the
world
of
2020
program
and
what
this
does
is
it
allows
the
course
to
plan
design
and
Implement
certain
types
of
Water
Resources
projects
with
without
additional
Project
Specific
Congressional
authorization
and
disadvantaged
areas
currently
assess
your
Parish
on
the
East
bank
has
been
that
has
one
area.
K
That's
been
this
designated
it's
a
disadvantaged
area
and
that's
all
in
the
Sorrento
area.
We've
identified
two
projects
so
far:
Felipe
lateral
or
Hackett
canal
and
we're
looking
at
others
as
well,
and
then
the
grant
timelines
as
we
notice
these
things
do
take
time.
So
you
know
some
depending
on
when
they
get
funded,
we
could
be
seeing
some
projects
and
construction
as
early
as
2027.
Hopefully
it's
sooner
than
that,
and
that
is
my
report.
G
Look
I
think
this
is
a
good
time
to
kind
of
mention
this
and
put
some
odds
on.
You
might
be
able
to
provide
a
little
insight,
but
in
the
last
few
weeks
you
know
a
lot
of
discussion
around
lwi
and
funding
and
whatnot.
G
So
I
had
like
a
little
red
flag
reads:
whenever
I
was
reading
the
article
last
week-
and
you
know
it
said,
Ascension
Parish
had
received
the
second
most
lwi
money
in
the
state
of
Louisiana
at
82
million
dollars
and
numbers
just
kind
of
popped
up
out
my
head,
because
I
couldn't
remember
receiving
82
million
dollars.
I,
remember
the
42
million
for
the
Howie
Gavin
project.
Well,
I
was
forwarded
the
information
on
Parish.
G
I
So
so
what
happened?
Was
we
had
received
that
from
a
different
FEMA
funding
source?
So
we
still
had
to
owe
a
match
on
that.
So
there
is
a
match
assistance
program
in
lwi,
so
in
2021
we
voted
to
shift
that
over
so
that
our
match
would
be
paid
on
100
percent
through
lwi
money.
So
they
moved
the
whole
Grant
that
we
had
gotten
from
another
FEMA
source
into
lwi,
and
that's
why
it
says
we
have
37
million
for
that
project
because
they
moved
the
whole
Grant
so
that
our
match
could
be
matched.
I
So
that's
why
it
shows
up
as
lwi
I
had
to
do
the
research
same
research
and
same
questions
you
had
so
I
had
to
go
back
in
time,
because
the
numbers
wasn't
working
out,
I
couldn't
figure
it
out,
and
so
finally,
we
got
her
Mina
to
nail
it
down
and
track
it
through
a
timeline
to
discover
that
they
moved
the
whole
Grant.
Now
what
we
should
have
done
is
when
they
moved
the
grant
lwi.
I
G
I
Percent,
the
reason
we
owe
is
because
our
cost
of
our
projects
is
be
of
above
that
amount,
and
so
our
match
is
what
is
above
and
beyond,
but
the
match
and
the
grant
are
being
funded,
100
percent
because
it
did
move
over
and
that
was
the
difficult
part
to
understand.
I
couldn't
get
the
math
to
work,
but
it
it
tracked.
I'm
gonna
have
to
send
you
all
the
documentation,
I'm.
G
D
M
I
H
I
Me
get
her
Mina
and
all
the
documentation
and
the
timeline
and
I'll
I'll
send
that
to
the
whole
board
so
that
you
can
see
that
transaction,
because
you
had
it's
very
difficult,
I
couldn't
get
it
I
kept
going
circles.
I
said
I,
don't
understand
where
there's
missing
money
they
should
be
paying
if
they're
paying
100.
Well,
then,
why
are
we
owing
anything?
I
I
need
to
send
you
the
whole
documentation
of
all
the
different
events
that
happened
and
you'll
see
it.
The
math
will
work
out
and
I'll
get
to
put
it
in
a
spreadsheet
I'll
get
pasture
to
put
it
in
a
spreadsheet.
So
you
see
what
we
owe
and
what
is
funded
and
where
it
was
before
and
then
when
they
moved
it,
the
dates
they
moved
it
and
what
what
got
paid
additional,
which
is
the
25?
What's.
G
K
Can
I
can
explain
that?
Okay,
the
75
25
was
for
phase
one
okay,
so
the
parish
is
only
on
the
hook
for
about
two
and
a
half
million
for
phase
one,
and
then
the
federal
government
was
going
to
pay
the
other
75.
Now
the
total
57
million
dollars
once
you've
got
Phase
One
Design.
What
was
left
of
it
was
for
construction,
but
because
of
the
global
match
issues
when
the
when
the
entire
Grant
got
moved
you
you
were
capped
at
that
57
million
dollars.
K
So
once
you
went
to
construction,
it
wasn't
a
75-25.
It
was
like
you
know:
the
parish
was
on
the
hook
for
like
19
million
dollars
total
and
then
whatever
was
left
was
going
to
be
picked
up
by
by
the
by
the
grant.
But
you
got
to
realize
when
we
put
that
together,
that
was
using
2017
estimates
and
things
have
escalated
since
that
time,
and
so
it
was
a
57
million
dollar
project,
but
we're
estimating
now
there's
probably
going
to
be
more
like
77
million
dollars
for
76
million
dollars.
K
But
my
proposal
is:
let's
get
the
design
done.
A
lot
of
that
money
is
going
to
be
attributed
to
mitigation,
which
we
don't
really
know
of
exactly
exactly
what
we're
going
to
have
to
mitigate.
Until
we
have
a
complete
set
of
plans
in
front
of
us,
a
construction
costs
could
fluctuate,
they
could
go
down,
they
could
you
know,
stabilize
I,
think
we
just
need
to
get
to
phase
one
and
then
go
on
and
to
phase
two.
B
I
Waiting
to
hear
back
from
them
if
they
will
come
up
with
some
more
money
for
the
cost
of
inflation
from
2017
to
2023,
and
we
have
already
made
that
request-
we're
just
waiting
to
hear,
and
so
that's
what
he
means.
We
should
hopefully
hear
something:
that's
weak
which
I
understand
you
know
I'll
take
a
week
to
be
two
weeks
when
we
talk
about
grants
so.
K
Amount
of
material
dirt
and
Hauling,
so
that's
where
that's,
where
the
most
of
the
escalation!
What
moves
in
Needle
is?
You
know
the.
I
Cost
of
all
the
air
structure
too
yeah,
so
we
got
the
Morgan
bro
upgrade
surge
protection
around
the
station,
so
we've
got
to
extend
them.
Walls
out
we've
got
to
raise
up
around
the
station
because
that's
where
you
saw
most
of
them,
even
though
we
had
breaks
in
the
Levee
or
topping
of
the
Levee
most
of
the
water
was
going
around
the
station.
We
were
pumping
a
lot
of
the
same
water,
so,
in
addition
to
the
levees
is
we're
coming
in
with
those
levees
into
the
station.
You
have
surge
protection
at
the
station
itself.
I
That's
the
reason
for
the
gates
being
lowered,
so
that
doesn't
flow
through
the
station.
My
pump's
not
on
as
well
as
outside
the
station
on
both
sides
to
tie
in
and
have
those
surge
protections
there
as
well.
So
this
truck
is
some
structural
in
that
Grant
as
well,
including
the
Conway
Pump
Station
editions,
which
is
all
structural.
I
So
you
remember
us:
both
those
grants
are
57.,
the
station
upgrade
and
the
levees,
not
just
one.
So
it's
it's
a
it's
a
lot
of
moving
Parts.
But,
yes,
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
all
that
together.
Certainly,
the
timeline
certainly
the
event,
certainly
the
money
and
then
tell
you
all
what's
under
it,
because
it
is
it's
extremely
complicated
once
you
start
digging
into
the
FEMA
documentation
and
the
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
hundreds
of
pages
associated
with
it.
So.
I
K
G
I
Yeah
and
that's
where
I
need
to
get
you
the
numbers,
because
I
don't
want
to
get
up
here
and
quote
without
the
documentation
in
front
of
me.
Let
me
get
you
all
of
those
when
it
was
originally
granted,
because
it
it
gets
difficult.
I'm
telling
you
I
had
the
same
issue
you
had
I
could
not
make
it
work
in
my
head.
Let
me
get
you
that
documentary.
I
G
G
A
We
look
forward
to
your
the
product
that
you'll
get
to
us.
Mr
President
will
do
Mr
Lawler.
I
I
mean
I
might
have
Armenia.
She
was
putting
it
together
for
me
and
Patrick,
so
we
could
understand
it
so
I'm
going
to
just
take
that
information
and
get
it
to
Patrick,
get
him
to
put
it
in
a
spreadsheet,
as
well
as
the
back
documentation
for
that
spreadsheet.
So
y'all
can
see
the
simple
version,
and
then,
if
y'all
want
to
dig
into
the
grants
and
all
the
paperwork
you
have
that
access
to
as
well,
we
may
have
to
put
that
in
a
Dropbox
but
we'll
determine
the
email
size
at
that
point
in
time.
K
No
we've
got:
we've
got
extensions
from
FEMA
to
keep
moving
forward,
so
I
think
it's
a
great
project.
There.
K
K
I
In
addition,
we
put
five
million
away
for
Capital
expenditures
and
adapt
a
year.
So
in
four
years
we
would
have
that
paid.
So
in
six
we
tend
to
spread
that
out
a
little
bit
more
and
you
know
any
additional
money
here
or
there
that
we
can
save
or
a
good
tax
increase
or
an
expansion
from
a
plant
where
we
get
20.
I
You
know
you
choose
to
split
that
up
between
roads
and
drainage
and
get
some
of
these
things
paid
for,
but
what
the
Battle
of
those
decisions
when
we
get
to
them,
but
with
all
the
expansions
we
have
coming
the
money's
coming,
they
hadn't
started
yet.
But
when
you
talk
about
billions
upon
billions
of
dollars
and
we're
going
to
get
some
of
the
money
20
up
front,
it's
a
ton
of
money,
it
just
hasn't
started
yet,
and
so
the
money's
coming
it's
just
it's
going
to
take
time.
It
takes
time
it's.
B
B
If
we
get
this
in
place
and
the
cost
of
it
is
it's
only
going
to
continue
to
rise,
if
we,
if
things
just
keep
pushing
down
I'm
pushing
away,
so
it's
it's
a
little
more
to
it
than
a
lot
of
folks
that
thanked
him,
but
this
is
going
to
protect
a
lot
of
jewels
in
this
Parish
watch.
This
thing
is
complete,
understood.
A
N
All
right
before
we
start
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
crews
out
there
working
in
the
fields.
It's
been
really
hot,
you'll
see
in
this
report.
We've
really
made
some
good
Headway
and
we've
got
a
good
good
head
of
steam,
rolling
we're
tying
in
some
jobs,
doing
things
that
hasn't
been
done
before
and
if
any
of
y'all
have
really
ridden
these
major
canals.
N
I
know
we've
been
in
somewhat
of
a
drought,
but
you'll
really
see
where
water
on
the
upper
end
is
not
there
anymore,
where
it
would
hold
in
the
in
the
past.
But
these
guys
are
sticking
it
out
and
I.
Tell
you
I'm
very,
very
proud
of
them.
I
know
Ron
is
we
we
sit
in
office
and
just
look
at
these
statistics
daily,
but
they
deserve
to
hear
this
and
be
recognized
so
shout
out
to
them
for
the
hard
work
and
efforts
that
they
make
in
them.
N
That's
our
success,
but
so
work
order
status
and
going
back
to
their
success.
When
we
started
this
guys,
we
were,
we
were
at
a
47
ratio.
N
Time
flies
by
pretty
quickly,
but
not
a
lot
has
really
passed,
we're
at
60
percent
and
I'm
very
proud
of
the
staff
for
that
we
drunk
we
jumped
10
just
within
the
last
four
months.
So
it's
a
huge
success
for
us
work:
orders
by
Department,
minor,
East,
876
191..
Now
that
project
is
just
kind
of
a
different
code
within
this
system,
so
it
kind
of
really
ties
into
the
minor
East,
Culvert
maintenance,
121,
waterways,
65
major
41
projects
bear
in
mind
401's
a
low
number,
but
remember
the
word.
Major.
N
Some
of
these
projects
are
months
long
41's,
a
a
that
is
a
lot
of
digging
a
total
Walker
orders
by
activity.
So
far,
roadside
ditches,
192
and
it
goes
on,
but
I
want
to
kind
of
focus
on
something.
On
this
report
a
little
bit,
we
don't
notice
some
of
the
little
things
that
happen.
Some
things
that
benefit
us
in
the
smaller
range
pump
truck
blowouts
right
now
we're
132.
These
are
projects.
N
These
are
not
individual
culverts,
so
these
these
guys
might
go
out
with
a
work
order
and
they
might
serve
us
seven
or
eight
culverts
per
that
work
order
and
you
go
into
raking
those
culverts.
So
what
I'm
getting
at
is
you
look
at
an
individual
number?
You
really
combine
two
or
three
of
these
activities
is
one
group
and
it's
a
it's
a
huge
process
to
keep
this
and
you'll
see
it
a
little
further
in
the
report,
how
it
kind
of
ties
in
work
orders
completed
our
Trends
are
looking
really
good.
N
You
can
see
our
work
order.
Level
of
new
work.
Orders
is
decreasing
slightly,
which
tells
me
that
our
maintenance
program
is
is
starting
to
work
and
we
hope
to
Trend
it
lower
and
really
get
on
top
of
Maintenance
and
not
have
the
request
and
aggravation
to
the
community
to
have
to
do
that.
But
we
are
there
if
they
need
us,
so
we
want
them
reaching
out
we've
completed
116
in
the
month
of
June,
like
I,
said
very
hot
month.
N
That's
a
lot
of
work
orders
complete
in
a
in
that
type
of
temperature
monitoring
these
projects.
That's
where
I'm
really
proud,
91
completed
projects
in
June,
that
is
a
ton
of
small
projects.
Digging
roadside
ditches
off-road
sinkholes
there
again
pump
trucks
blowing
out.
We've
really
had
these
Crews
moving.
N
This
is
where
I
kind
of
wanted
to
highlight
This
Crew
this
month,
this
this
Culvert
crew,
a
lot
of
guys,
don't
see
them.
We
don't
only
dig
ditches,
but
we
have
some
of
these
areas.
This
is
some
off
of
Kling
road.
You
can
see
the
dishes
don't
really
need
need
to
be
dug.
This
was
where
I
was
talking
about
tying
in
work,
something
I'm
really
focusing
on
with
joining
our
major
and
minor
Crews
and
getting
them
to
kind
of
think
similar
together.
N
We
just
dug
some
major
drainage
right
in
that
area,
so
we
wanted
to
go
in
and
hit
these
neighborhoods
and
improve
their
drainage
through
their
culverts,
get
them
blown
out
and
actually
utilize
that
major,
ditch
that
we
dug
so
very,
very
proud
of
them
to
to
move
forward.
This
a
little
bit
on
Sandstone
drive
here
same
deal,
we're
going
in
we're
not
looking
at
one
Culvert
we're
doing
the
whole
Loop
so,
but
those
guys
are
doing
an
exceptional
job,
so
they
said
sometimes
they
go
unseen.
This.
N
This
is
something
huge,
we're
working
on
a
letter,
also
the
the
recycled
material.
This
is
something
we
do,
every
Monday,
the
same
crew
blocks
out,
Monday
and
then
every
other
Tuesday
and
they
go
out
and
they
unrestrict
culverts.
This
is
a
type
of
debris
that
you're
seeing
when
they
go
out
and
unrestrict
these
culverts.
One
of
the
things
we
do
also
is
when
we
call
for
rain,
we
get
that
70
80
90
percent,
and
these
guys
can't
go
in
the
field
they
get
in
these
trucks
and
they
go
start
running
blockages.
N
Removing
this
debris,
everything
from
sofas
to
beds,
to
recliners
broken
down
garbage
cans,
I
mean
you
can
see
it's
huge
and
these.
This
is
every
week
in
the
week
of
in
the
month
of
June.
Here,
as
you
can
see
throughout
all
the
way
to
18
wheeler
tires,
so
makes
a
huge
difference
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
it
is
it's
sometimes
small
to
those
to
those
guys.
But
it
is
a
huge
cost
to
the
parish
to
keep
this,
but
it
keeps
these
drains
open.
N
So
major
drainage
projects
completed
in
the
month
of
June
and
plug
bro,
ditch
she
used
to
buy
10
Smith
Bayou
Reese
Lane
Highway
929
box
covered
upgrades
completed
shredding
at
Smith
Bayou
from
Robert
Wilson
to
Ashland
has
been
completed
and
upper
section
of
lower
goudin
has
been
completed
in
progress,
major
drainage
easily
below
some
of
I-10
Crossing
behind
wood,
Gate,
Town
Homes
digging
on
that
shredding,
Panama
Canal
that
Shredder
of
has
just
been
put
in
place
over
the
last
couple
days,
so
that
project
is
getting
started
underway.
N
Ditch
off
of
the
lower
good
Dean
who
repaired
The
Crossing.
That
de
Plus's
Primary
School.
N
So
this
just
kind
of
go
back
to
my
maps
and
give
you
all
that
little
visual,
this
little
area,
I-10
behind
wood
gate,
these
guys
at
Woodgate,
will
suffered
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
water.
We
were
able
to
go
in
and
get
in
between
worked
with
Aaron
ellisr
with
the
state,
a
big
fan
of
that
guy.
He
helps
us
out
a
lot.
N
We
were
able
to
get
in
there
and
clean
out
in
between
that
interstate
and
we're
going.
You
know
going
to
the
other
side
towards
the
bluff
to
allow
that
water
to
to
drain
where
it
needs
to
go.
Also,
just
just
north
of
that
on
the
I-10
at
Miller
Road,
we
were
able
to
dig
that
Crossing
same
effects
there
at
Miller
Road
get
that
water
off
those
guys
and
just
a
idea,
map
map
location
of
that
shredding.
That
was
done
at
Smith
Bayou
in
progress.
N
This
is
a
location
here
where
we're
on
the
Panama
doing
our
shredding,
like
I,
said
we're
about
two
days
into
that
more
or
less
getting
set
up
to
start-
and
this
is
our
bigger
picture
of
where
major
drainage
has
been
y'all,
been
seeing.
This
little
update
for
three
or
four
months,
really
big
Focus
right
now,
is
getting
up
into
that
industrial
area.
N
A
lot
of
movement
movements
going
to
be
made
there
because
it's
a
lot
of
material,
those
coverts
are
probably
50
percent,
are
better
blocked,
and
so
that's
where,
where
we're
heading
in
that
area
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
this
over,
we
got
a
few
little
capital
projects.
Mr
Ron
will
follow
up.
M
Thank
you
board.
Just
kind
of
figured
we'd
incorporate
a
little
bit
more
of
the
other
projects
that
the
drainage
district
has
voted
on
and
and
are
moving.
So
you
guys
have
voted
on
some
concrete
lining
projects,
a
bundled
package
with
Hartman
engineering,
designing
them
and
bidding
them
so
currently,
they're
on
the
Francois,
lateral
in
Gonzales,
they're
just
getting
started
there.
They
have
a
little
bit
of
covert
work
where
that
dirt's
Disturbed
and
you
can
see
in
the
lower
part
of
the
photo
the
existing,
concrete
liner.
M
This
area
makes
a
very
hard
turn
right
there
and
it's
it's
really
eroding
out
that
curve.
So
they're
they're
getting
started
on
that
section
and
once
they
wrap
that
up
they're
scheduled
to
move
to
the
courthouse
lateral
next
and
then
they
will
be
moving
to
the
Assad's
Bayou
in
Villa
Galvez
subdivision.
M
Then
we
move
on
to
the
tilting
Weir.
This
is
their
construction
schedule.
If
you
look
down
towards
the
June
and
July
timeline
towards
the
second
column,
to
the
right,
you'll
see
that
the
the
driving
into
the
piles
and
they're
starting
to
construct
the
foundation
of
the
project-
and
you
can
see
the
timeline
is
projected
to
get
into
2024.
However,
the
weather's
been
cooperating
and
we
feel
like
once
they
get
this
foundation
in
place,
we're
going
to
start
seeing
a
lot
of
movement
on
the
project.
M
So,
as
you
see
in
this
photo,
you
see
the
crane
and
the
foundation
pile
driving
equipment
on
site
that
was
brought
out
about
a
month
back
and
then
delivery
started
coming
in
with
the
piles.
So
in
this
photo
you
can
see
them
prepping
the
site
here
for
the
tilting
Weir
they've
excavated
that
out
dewatered
it
and
you've
seen
the
the
heads
of
the
concrete
piles
that
they're
driving.
M
There
battling
this
heat
and
fighting
the
elements,
but
the
next
step
is
once
these
piles
are
driven,
there's
going
to
be
some
sheet
piles
coming
in
and
they're
going
to
parallel
the
concrete
piles
with
the
sheet
piles
and
then
they'll
start
the
the
actual
concrete
forming
in
the
middle
of
all
that
and
pour
the
base
for
the
Weir
to
be
constructed.
M
So
that
project
is
moving
along
really
well
and
the
contractor
is
doing
a
good
job
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
very
bottom
of
those
photos,
those
three
piles
have
been
completed,
then
we're
moving
on
to
New
River
dredging,
as
mentioned
in
hntb
kind
of
mentioned
it
a
little
bit.
This
was
the
final
thing
on
that
dredging
project
was
a
bulkhead
failure
on
Main
Street.
We
entered
into
a
Cooperative
Endeavor
with
the
city
of
Gonzales
and
they've
agreed
to
pay.
Half
of
these
repairs,
and
then
the
project
was
repaired.
M
This
is
a
muddy
creek
drainage
improvements,
Grant
project
that
started
several
years
ago.
It's
been
lingering
with
the
FEMA
process
of
closing
it
out.
If
you
look
to
the
right
side
of
that
photo,
it's
where
ladotd
improved,
Highway,
42
and
repaired
that
replaced
that
bridge
with
three
box
covert.
In
conjunction
with
this
project,
we
improved
Muddy
Creek
Downstream
of
that
all
the
way
from
Highway
42
to
Manchester
acres
highway.
M
M
They
can
just
spray
it
with
herbicides
to
keep
it
up
in
that
stretch
now
so
on
this
FEMA
at
the
end
of
the
grant
required
us
to
do
a
letter
of
map
revision
for
the
project
to
incorporate
the
newly
improved
Channel
sections,
CS
engine
csrs
engineering
prepared
that
application
and
had
gone
through
that
process
for
the
Parish
of
submitting
that
to
FEMA
femma
has
accepted
or
submitted,
and
they
approved
the
project
to
go
out
for
public
advertisement
of
that
letter
of
map
revision.
That
process
is
now
complete.
M
The
public
advertisement
went
through
and
there
were
no
comments
made.
Therefore,
a
project
is
well
on
the
way
to
being
closed
out
after
several
years
of
being
on
the
book.
So
we're
very
proud
of
that.
I
thought
it
would
just
be
a
good
idea
to
take
the
time
to
touch
on
a
few
other
projects
that
are
moving,
that
coming
to
you,
guys
for
approval
and
upcoming
meetings.
Ron.
M
Think
that
that
project
has
been
talked
about
and
in
the
work
since
2010,
11-ish
I
believe
it
was
and
then
it
finally
got
awarded
and
I
think
instructions
commit
somewhere
around
20
16
2017
and
it
was
all
the
way
through.
2019
2020
is
around
the
timeline
when
this
all
was
that
those
photos
were
completed.
M
So
the
closeout
process
of
that
has
even
taken
a
couple
years
to
get
to
this
point,
so
we're
really
glad
to,
and
we
appreciate,
Miss
Hermina
and
her
group
for
the
support
on
walking
us
through
closing
out
this
process.
Thank.
B
A
B
And
Ron
the
with
the
rocklining
of
the
courthouse
here,
how
long
you
think
that's
going
to
take.
M
I,
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
contractor,
but
I
don't
suspect
that
it'll
be
much
more
than
a
few
weeks
to
a
month.
B
B
M
Need
to
that
may
still.
There
is
a
utility
relocation
at
that
Courthouse
site
right.
That
has
to
take
place,
so
you
know
that's
tentative
where
they
were
headed
sure,
but
depending
on
how
that
works
out,
they
may
be
going
to
Villa
Galvez
next,
we'll
see
how
that
how
that
shakes
out
appreciate
it.
O
Good
afternoon,
everyone
good
evening,
okay,
let's
go
ahead
and
get
started
in
my
report
for
last
month
they
gave
you
all
a
quick
update.
This
is
just
for
our
state
highways
that
we
have
a
contract
with
dot
we're
100
complete
on
everything.
The
total
cost
that
we
spent
for
that
contract,
as
of
the
close
of
June,
was
189
000..
O
O
Another
contract
labor
update,
we
were
at
right
under
1.2.
This
is
the
total
of
the
contract.
So
far
up
to
date,
32
000
has
been
spent
on
major
153
000
on
minor
vegetation
right
up
under
700.,
so
total
pay
to
date.
What
we've
spent
is
878
000
and
we
have
220
000
left
on
that
contract.
O
Some
work
order
metrics
this
is
our
call
center
stuff.
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
or
call
the
note.
This
time
last
year
we
were
at
207
last
month
was
85,
so
we
are
only
at
41
of
the
complaints
that
we
were
at
last
year.
As
you
can
see,
the
blue
line
has
definitely
been
keeping
Trend
underneath
this
month
was
the
first
wow
factor
for
me.
O
I
want
to
give
credit
to
you
know
my
guys
are
building
really
good
teams
out
there
in
the
field,
also
supplementing
Lifehouse
for
hand,
cleaning
and
trash
picking
up
or
established
maintenance.
Cycles
we've
been
holding
two
even
doing
proactive
maintenance
of
our
servitudes
and
making
sure
we're
on
par
and
have
our
effective
herbicide
application.
If.
A
I
So,
as
ran
reaching
into
you
know,
I'm
not
sure,
if
we're
in
year,
two
or
three
but
somewhere
in
there,
we
need
to
start
assessing
how
we
manage
those
Crews
throughout
the
year.
So
we're
probably
going
to
start
reducing
that
staff
in
November,
certainly
in
December,
January
February
and
then
start
ramping
back
up
in
March
all
the
way
to
probably
into
September
to
somewhere
in
October.
We
need
to
try
to
get
this
and
keep
this
around
a
million.
So
we
need
to
start
moving
some
some
people
around.
I
That's
just
something
we're
going
to
need
to
kind
of
flex
with
a
little
bit.
We
just
got
to
start
controlling
the
costs
across
the
board,
and
that's
that's
just
in
everything,
the
more
we're
able
to
do
that,
the
more
the
more
big
dollars,
we're
able
to
put
the
capital
projects
so
we're
just
going
to
have
to
manage
that
and
and
they
they
know
that
staff
knows
that
and
yeah.
I
Winter
months
of
reduction
of
of
Lifehouse
so
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
ramping
up
when
we
need
them
but
start
decreasing
them.
When
we
don't
have
that
much,
you
know
grass
to
cut
cleaning
and
things
like
that.
So
we're
just
going
to
manage
that
in
order
to
attempt
to
hold
that
one
million
dollar
number.
O
All
right
some
breakdowns
of
our
work
order,
metrics
of
what
came
in
the
85,
you
can
see
a
quick
breakdown
of
what
came
in
we
completed
50
this
month.
O
Overall,
this
is
as
long
as
we've
been
in
this
immune
system,
we're
at
79
complete,
that's
over
2
000
work
orders
we've
completed,
have
309
still
waiting
to
begin
process.
O
So
numbers
are
definitely
trending
good
consistently.
Some
of
our
own
internal
numbers
we
completed
152
last
month.
This
is
all
of
our
preventative
work
that
we
see
that
we
go
and
do
before
we
get
a
complaint,
what's
set
up
for
our
maintenance
cycles
and
our
mowing
districts
and
also
related
to
our
state
highway
contract.
O
A
I,
don't
see
any.
Thank
you
very
much
all
right.
Thank
you.
We're
making
sure
our
men
are
being
well
hydrated.
Safety
is
a
factor.
Certainly
during
this
time
of
the
year,
I
appreciate
all
those
noddings
of
the
head.
Yes,
because
that
is
important
if
we
don't
want
to
lose
anybody
on
the
job
heat
stroke
is,
can
be
fatal.
I
That
yeah
Mr
Mr
bologna
leblanc's,
on
top
of
that.
Obviously
as
y'all
know
as
he
is
on
time
for
most
things,
we
send
out
regular
emails,
they
do
testing
and
they
they,
you
know
or
talk
to
every
every
week
about
hydration
and
listen.
We've
had
a
that.
Many
employees,
you
just
you,
have
medical
conditions.
It's
something
we've
got
to
keep
a
constant
eye
on.
The
supervisors
are
aware
of
it.
So
if
they
ever
get
somebody
who
gets
dizzy
or
anything
else,
we
start
to
call
we
we
set
into
the
protocol
to
all
right.
I
We
call
safety
come
take.
A
look
is
this
person,
you
know,
need
any
assistance,
medical
assistance
or
whatever
be
the
case,
so
we've
been
on
top
of
it.
It's
just
you
know.
When
you
get
into
heat
index
as
well
over
105,
it
gets
brutal
out
there
and
they'll.
Ask
me:
you
know
why
you're
working
me
so
hard.
I
Well,
we're
going
to
provide
a
service,
so
I
I
appreciate
the
hard
work,
but
that
work
got
to
get
done
and
and
so,
but
we
do
very,
very,
very
close
attention
to
their
health
and
their
hydration
and
things
like
that.
But
yeah,
a
big
shout
out
to
them
for
for
getting
out
in
that
heat
and
doing
what
we
need
him
to
do
for
our
residents.
A
M
Yeah
we
had
talked
to
Mr
Dawson
about
this
Miss
Terry
and
the
next
phase
of
it
is
the
Triton
the
state
of
getting
modernized
right
and,
as
Jay
mentioned
in
his
Amendment
to
the
contract,
we
feel
like
we.
We
have
that
uphill
battle
kind
of
behind
us
and
we're
back
at
Baseline,
okay,
but
the
more
the
updates
will
be
coming
will
be
in
regard
to
scada
and
moving
that
project
to
getting
those
more
modernized,
so
that's
kind
of
where
we
are
at
them
at
the
moment.
On
that.
A
So
I'm
satisfied
I
mean
we're
in
the
month
of
July.
We
started
this
process
in
January
I
mean
you
all
responded
immediately
and
began,
giving
monthly
updates
so
I'm
satisfied
as
your
chairman
that
we
have
had
sufficient
updates
on
this.
If
they're
members
of
the
the
commission
that
think
we
need
to
continue
to
evaluate
Beyond
scada.
If
we
need
to
be
looking
back
more
at
the
safety
of
the
equipment,
the
standing
Opera,
we
need
to
keep
the
standing
the
standard
operating
procedure
piece
on,
because
I
think
the
other
things
have
been
done.
A
I
So
I
mean
getting
a
big.
Getting
back
up
to
seven
pumps
is
what
was
what
is
critical,
because
any
of
those
pumps
can
go
out
at
any
time,
so
we
haven't
had
any
hurricanes
of
tropical
storms
yet,
but
we
gotta
we
got
to
be
prepared
for
that.
So
it's
important.
We
have
all
seven
up
and
all
of
our
pumps
at
all
stations
up
and
running
how.
A
H
N
Eta
was
third
fourth
week
of
July
and
I
should
hear
back
within
the
next
day
or
two
to
verify,
if
we're
still
on
that
course.
But
but
the
last
update
was
the
end
of
July.
Okay,.
