And
then,
with
the
sales
tax
increase,
I
mean,
obviously
I
think
a
lot
of
that
will
have
to
do
with
increasing
prices
and
increasing
material
and
stuff,
especially
off
the
hurricane,
but
as
far
as
the
trending
that
we
were
looking
at
previous
to
that
with
the
online
sales
and
the
amazon
and
all
that
type
of
stuff
is
that
I
guess
is
that
tr
are
people
going
back
to
stores,
or
is
it
just
the
difference
in
price?
That's
making
us
still
look
good.
D
E
D
D
D
C
A
A
So
what
I
have
on
the
screen
now
is
just
to
kind
of
give
you
some
idea
of
the
the
extent
of
the
audit
and
kind
of
the
things
that
we
do.
I
won't
read
all
these
word
for
word,
but
you
know
verify
balances
in
reviewing
account
reconciliations,
also
from
an
expenditure
side
of
things.
We
we
do
look
at
some
randomized
selections
of
expenditures,
some
targeted
expenditures,
as
well
as
credit
card
utilization,
travel,
travel,
reimbursements
and
things
of
that
nature,
personnel
wise.
A
We
do
review
documentation
in
their
file,
verifying
wage
rates
and
things
of
that
things
in
in
that
capacity
again,
we
do
look
at
internal
controls
throughout
the
parish.
We
do
not
look
at
each
department
every
year,
but
it's
on
more
of
a
random
basis,
just
to
kind
of
keep
up
with,
what's
going
on
and
how
you're
how
you're
operating
additionally
there's
a
number
of
compliance
aspects
that
that
we
do
look
at
during
the
audit.
They
go
from
local
ordinances,
all
the
way
to
federal
regulations.
A
We
we
named
a
few
here,
but
you
know
the
list.
The
list
goes
on
quite
honestly,
but
in
in
this
capacity
you
know
some
of
the
bigger
ones
are
the
single
audit
requirements
for
federal
grants.
We
do
a
single
audit,
basically
each
year,
that
that
that's
determined
by
the
amount
of
federal
funding.
You
get
I'm
happy
to
be
happy
to
report
here
that
we
did
have
not.
A
A
A
Secondly,
past
transportation,
act
that
is
a
state
related
item
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
the
internal
controls
over
major
grant
programs.
All
three
of
those
were
additionally
unmodified
opinions.
So
we
have
all
clean
opinions.
The
best
opinions
that
you're
gonna
get
under
any
in
the
audit
that
that
you
will
receive
yeah.
A
A
We
did
not
have
any
issues
in
the
period
of
time
that
from
when
we
alerted
management
to
the
problems
to
to
when
we
tested.
So
we
looked
at
random
adjustment
on
accounts,
random
billings
things
of
that
nature.
Everything
everything
check
the
box
that
we
thought
needed
to
check
the
box,
so
things
have
been
cleaned
up
over
there
and
then
last
year
we
did
have
a
ethics
matter.
A
A
Travel
policy
has
been
working
on,
so
we
were
happy
what
we
were
seeing
there
multi-year
budgeting.
Your
finance
department
did
start
to
multi-year
budget
with
the
capital
project
funds.
So
that's
the
first
step
as
we
recommended
to
go
in
that
direction
and
also
hr
hr
has
probably
been
in
the
best
shape
that
I've
seen
it.
You
know
in
the
last
five
or
ten
years,
so
they've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
the
human
resources
department
to
get
things
straightened
out
on
that
side.
A
On
the
other
side
of
things,
we
do
have
a
couple
of
our
portable
items
that
are
more
probably
technical
in
nature,
but
they
are
what
we
would
consider
non-compliance
with
state
law.
The
first
one
is
a
violation
of
local
government
budget
act.
Basically,
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
look
for
is
at
the
end
of
the
year,
your
revenues
versus
your
revenue
budget.
If
it's
in
an
unfavorable,
unfavorable
variance
of
five
percent
or
if
your
spending
is
an
unfavorable
variance
of
five
percent,
it's
considered
a
non-compliance.
A
A
The
investments
didn't
quite
perform,
as
they
were
expected
to
basically
market
fluctuations.
In
that
case,
it
did
cause
some
variances
that
were
outside
of
the
five
percent
scope
there.
So
that
was
one
reason.
Secondarily,
there
were
some
capital
projects
spending
that
was
actually
accelerated,
so
you're
spending
it
faster
than
you
thought,
you're
going
to
spend
it,
which
is
probably
a
good
thing
in
your
situation,
with
the
funding
that
you
have
so
they're,
very
technical
in
nature,
but
unfortunately
it's
a
black
and
white
line
here
and
we're
required
under
state
law
to
report.
A
This
second
item
is
public
lease
law.
Basically,
here,
when
a
government
enters
into
a
lease,
there
is
some
requirements
to
go
out
and
obtain
quotes
to
to
rent
that
space
if
it's
on
a
long
term
basis
again
some
technical
technical
items
here.
But
there
was
one
instance
of
this
that
we
came
across
so
that
that's
the
two
reportable
items
that
that
we
had
have
reported
this
year.
D
The
only
thing
I
want
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
add
jacob
sort
of
touched
on
this,
but
yeah
one
of
the
things
you
look
at
this
report.
It's
400
pages.
You
got
a
lot
of
activity
going
on,
it's
really
a
big
business.
You
know
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
and
yeah,
so
there's
a
lot
going
on
behind
the
scenes
that
really
people
don't
see
and
and
so
from
our
point
of
view,
you
know
what
jacob
was
getting
across
with
you
know
the
slide
before
this.
D
You
know
those
are
some
high-level
things
we
look
at,
but
there's
more,
but
from
a
financial
and
accounting
point
of
view,
there's
a
lot
that
can
go
wrong
and
and
to
have
two
really
non-systemic
technical
type
of
matters.
I
mean
you
got
a
lot
more
going
right
than
you
got
wrong
from
from
those
two
vantage
points,
so.
B
G
So
we
typically
during
the
budget
cycle,
start
looking
at
these
and
so
last
year
we
did.
We
did
amendments
in
november
and
in
this
situation
the
market
went
down
kind
of
in
november
and
december.
So
we
didn't
predict
that
and
we
had
already
done
our
amendments
so
as
part
of
this
process
we're
going
to
try
to
do
as
maybe
a
better
job
of
predicting
if
we
can
but
we're
trying
to
look
at
these,
but
we
were
going
to
wait
until
july.
There
is
so
much
volatility
right
now
and
that's
one
thing:
we've
discussed
this.
G
This
historic
volatility
has
not
not
been
in
place
as
long
as
we
can
remember,
and
so,
if
you
look
today,
it
might
be
totally
different.
Talking
to
our
financial
advisor,
I
mean
things
are
going
up.
You
know
40
basis
points
in
a
day
and
then
back
down
exactly
so
it's
hard
to
try
to
look
at
it
exactly
right.
Now,.
G
In
november
you're
going
to
see
an
amendment
that,
as
we
do,
for
the
normal
budget
process
to
try
to
address
wherever
we're
at.
At
that
standpoint,
we've
even
had
some
discussions.
If
things
go
negative,
how
do
you
do
a
budget
amendment
if
you
budget
zero,
when
it's
negative
and
again
this
is
when
they
do
market
to
market?
This
is
an
actual.
This
is
what
the
market
says.
It's
worth
at
that
time,
which
we
hold
on
to
these
and
we
get
a
fixed
rate.
G
D
H
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
jacob.
I
appreciate
your
report.
I
apologize
for
my
being
late
I'll
get
with
you
about
what
all
you
talked
about
earlier.
I
just
want
to
one
thing.
I
heard
that
I
just
have
to
point
out
how
pleased
I
am
to
have
heard
it
when
we
talk
about
our
hr
department
being
in
better
shape
than
it's
been
in
in
a
in
a
decade.
H
I
that's
music
to
my
ears.
I
think
most
people
can
remember
that
for
every
year
of
those
that
decade
I
was
asking
how
do
we
get
hr
up
to
speed?
This
is
a
place
that
we
need
to
be
doing
a
better
job,
and
so
I
want
to
complement
the
administration
and
finance
department
and
the
hr
department,
for
you
know
stepping
up,
and
I
look
forward
to
reviewing
this
and
if
I
have
any
questions
I'll
I'll
get
with
you.
E
I
B
E
I
I
A
G
Okay,
yeah
councilman,
laura,
I
said
on
the
sales
tax
authority
and
we
we
talk
about
this
every
month
and
it's
getting
larger
and
larger
every
month.
There's
about
200,
more
businesses
remitting
to
the
the
state
sales
tax
group,
and
so
it
is
growing
larger.
It's
becoming
more
significant
and
just
to
add
to
the
earlier
conversation
between
the
industry
that
is.
G
Is
we
see
it
coming
back
and
you
all
hear
every
day,
all
of
the
expansions
that
are
going
on
between
that
the
consumer
spending
is
is
still
strong
in
ascension
parish,
we're
about
14
ahead
of
where
we
were
last
year
and
as
jacob
said,
we
were
over
20
last
year,
so
hoping
that
continues
and
again
talking
about
the
economy.
We
don't
know
how
that's
going
to
affect,
but
we're
hoping
that
stays
strong.
But
as
part
of
that
is
the
internet
sales
and
I'll
see.
G
G
I
That's
what
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
actually
recognize
that,
because
I
I
don't
see
any
real
reason
why
we
shouldn't
have
seen
it
and,
if
we're
not
recognizing
it
or
do
we
not
have
companies
that
are
out
there
paying
it
into
us
or
is
there
something
that
we
have
to
do
to
recognize
those
those
incoming
funds?
Yes,.
G
So
to
a
respect,
it's
it's
voluntary
right
now,
but
the
the
the
groups
in
the
state
are
finally
staffing
up,
and
this
is
people
that
have
reported
to
the
state
and
they're
hiring
people
to
actually
go
out
and
try
to
find
everybody
who
is
making
sales
and
meets
the
criteria.
So
it's
only
going
to
go
up.
I
would
say
from
here
on
out
so
hopefully
with
the
additional
compliance
on
the
state
level,
we'll
see
even
more
more
collection.
I
Yeah,
I
just
when
you
say
it's
voluntary,
that's!
What's
so
strange,
it's
voluntary
to
pay
us
taxes,
us
as
consumers,
we're
paying
the
taxes,
but
we
have
companies
that
are
not
voluntarily
remitting
it
to
the
government,
which
that's
not
really
a
voluntary
thing.
In
my
opinion,
it's
something
that
we
need
to
really
look
at,
maybe
at
the
state
level.
G
And
the
state's
been
struggling
with
this
for
years
because
we're
one
of
the
few
states
that
doesn't
have
the
centralized,
collector
and
so
that's
played
into
this
and
the
remote
sellers,
and
so
they
are
working
that
out.
There
was
actually
some
legislation
this
year.
I
don't
think
it
went
through,
but
I'm
hoping
next
year
they
get
it
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
streamlined
and
they
can
hear
about
the
streamlined
sales
tax
collection
and
I
think,
there's
there's
some
things
in
place
to
help
ease
the
businesses
so
they're
not
reporting
to
64
different.
I
G
Well,
I
can.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
had
a
lot
of
discussions
on
this
subject
because
I
think
they
might
have
said
we
don't
do
a
lot
of
leases
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
legal
questions.
We
still
need
to
work
out
because
there's
some
state
laws
that
we
looked
at
even
talking
to
the
auditor
they
said
look.
You
may
even
need
to
get
an
attorney
general
opinion
on
this
part
of
the
land.
The
law
says
that
it
needs
to
be
unused
land.
G
G
This
was
out
of
lamar
dixon,
which
is
a
whole
other
entity
to
itself.
There's
there's
there's
ordinances
related
to
this
issue,
but
it's
one
of
those
things
everything
kind
of
touched
on
this
one
issue,
but
nothing
completely
covered
it.
We
may
even
go
back
to
the
legislature
and
try
to
clean
up
there's
a
statute
related
to
sponsorship
agreements
that
we
would
have
thought
maybe
would
have
covered
this,
but
the
auditors
didn't
feel
that
it
did,
and
so
it's
probably
some
tweaks.
G
We
need
to
do
to
that
and
look
this
wasn't
going
to
be
the
only
one.
I
think
there
were
plans
to
do
others
similar
to
this,
so
that
people
can
use
you
know
part
of
lamar
dixon
as
a
lay
down
yard
or
store
things,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
not
something
that's
going
to
go
away
because
lamar
dixon
is
in
the
business
to
try
to
you
know,
make
revenue,
that's
how
they
they
make
their
money
and
that's
how
they
stay
afloat.
G
So
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna,
keep
looking
at
this
we're
gonna
talk
to
the
attorneys,
see
if
there's
something
we
need
to
do
statutorily,
but
we
know
they
are
a
little
bit
of
a
different
entity.
We
don't
want
to
hamstring
them
with
what
they're
trying
to
do,
but
we
also
want
to
be
in
compliance
with
the
law.
I
J
J
I
J
H
H
J
J
It's
it's
very
complicated.
The
services
that
are
offered
here
that
we
don't
get
from
other
groups
and
we
offer
services
to
other
groups
that
we're
not
offering
here
what's
what's
used.
What's
not
used
is
a
parking
lot
use
because
we
do
that
to
energy
and
we
do
it
to
several.
Other
individuals
is
what's
the
time
frame.
Is
it
short
term?
Is
it
long
term?
Is
it
a
full
year?
Can
it
be
less?
J
Can
it
be
359
days,
so
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
components
here
and
a
lot
of
questions
that
are
not
answered
by
the
law,
and
so
I
think,
that's
digging
in
at
the
state
level
trying
to
find
some
interpretation
on
what
they
mean
is
non-usable,
considering
you
usable
because
we'd
like
to
rent
off
every
square
foot
of
lamar
dixon
like
we
always
had,
and
so
what's
the
parameters
there
is
it
time.
Is
it
money?
Is
it
services?
Is
it
what
you
know?
J
G
G
Maybe
that
covers
this,
but
those
are
the
kind
of
things
we
need
to
look
at
before.
We
really
do
anything
and
that's
why
we're
going
to
go
through
this
process,
and
so
you
answer
your
question.
Yeah
we're
going
to
start
immediately
looking
at
this
to
try
to
get
the
right
answer,
so
we
don't
do
the
wrong
thing.
H
We
would
appreciate
that.
Certainly,
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
consideration.
Auditors
can
probably
speak
to
this
better
than
I
could,
but
it
would
seem
that
any
lease
we
made
with
a
contractor
outside
of
parish
government
would
have
to
have
a
market
rate,
not
not
just
some
something
we
made
up.
We
set
all
the
the
lease
or
we
set
all
the
fees
and
all
of
the
rental
agreements
for
lamar
dixon.
H
J
So,
for
example,
with
as
much
growth
we
see
in
industry
if
we
can
utilize
some
property
to
park
vehicles
that
would
provide
some
revenue
to
buffer
lamar
dixon
for
an
extended
period
of
time
like
the
bp.
All
money
did
yes,
and
so
you
try
to
take
advantage
of
these
things.
So
we'd
like
to
do
that,
but
not
box
ourselves
in,
because
those
rates
are
are
extremely
high
and
only
saying
it
would
be
the
opportunity
for
lamar
dixon
to
get
some
padding
in
revenue
and
build
up
some
cash
flow
for
for
extended
years.
J
Due
to
this
economic
growth,
we
have
coming
so
there's
just
there's
a
ton
of
legal
things
that
we
really
got
to
dig
into
and
is
is
is
that
is
that
short
term?
Is
that
long
term?
What's
the
time
frame?
So
we
got
to
get
into
state
law
about
these
contracts
and
what
goes
on
there
since
that's
a
a
revenue
generating
entity.
H
So
we
can
expect,
sir,
that
you
would
get
to
us
a
fee
schedule
a
what
these
contracts
are.
What
to
look
like,
especially,
I
look.
I
love
the
idea
of
using
lamar
dixon
for
all
the
benefit
that
we
can
achieve
from
it,
but
it
needs
to
be
transparent.
It
needs
to
be
at
market
rates
and
those
rates
need
to
be
approved
by
the
governing
authority.
B
E
A
I
G
And
I
think
this
was
we
talked
about
those
hybrids.
It
was
part
we'll
provide
service
part
we're
going
to
actually
pay
a
a
rental
fee,
and
so
that
was
part
of
what
we
talked
about.
So
if
we
did
bid,
how
do
you?
How
do
you
receive
those
bids
where
somebody
may
say
I'll
do
in
kind,
verse
and
and
plus
I'll
add
a
monthly
rental,
and
so
that's
going
to
have
to
be
part
of
the
discussion
moving
forward,
because
this
was
more
of
a.
K
What
the
with
advertising?
How
would
we
advertise
a
lease
and
take
the
highest
bid
for
at
least
while
we
have
a
rate
schedule
in
place?
I
mean
which
one
would
supersede
the
other
say
if
we
charge
10
000
a
month
for
this
piece
of
land
and
the
highest
bid,
we
got
was
7
500
a
month,
but
we
have
ordinance
in
place
saying
you
know
well
that
doesn't
meet
criteria.
So
what
which.
A
D
B
K
L
L
As
you
see,
we
had
rubicon
and
huntsman
skyfall
biologics
origin
materials
in
westlake,
chemical,
all
announcing
that
they
would
be
investing
in
new
projects
here
and
then,
as
usual.
Our
project
pipeline
has
been
very
active,
so
we
have
43
projects
that
we
are
working,
the
a
projects,
as
always
are
ones
that
are
making
a
decision
within
the
next
12
months.
So
while
these
are
fluid,
these
13
will
either
make
a
yes
or
no
pretty
soon,
and
that
represents
just
over
6
billion
dollars
and
over
700
new
permanent
jobs.
L
L
L
We
have
been
doing
a
lot
in
the
emerging
markets
as
it
comes
to
renewable
energy,
electric
vehicle
components,
specialty
chemicals,
warehouse
and
distribution,
things
that
are
more
diverse
than
our
traditional
chemical
manufacturing,
but
still
are
part
of
really
what
we
we
do
best
here.
So
we
did
convert
28
of
these
leads
into
our
project
chart
with
10
new
projects.
That's
a
really
good
conversion
rate.
L
We
have
had
a
significant
amount
of
companies
come
to
visit.
We
have
had
another
one
that
came
today
since
this
presentation
was
made
and
one
that's
coming
tomorrow,
so
the
majority
of
projects
are
looking
at
geismer,
but
we
have
had
a
significant
amount.
Looking
at
the
riverplex
megapark
on
the
modus
area
of
the
west
bank,
and
then
our
business
retention
and
expansion,
pro
program
is
still
trending
strong.
We
are
on
target
to
meet
our
40
existing
companies
this
year.
L
As
always,
we
ask
them
what
is
the
best
part
of
operating
an
ascension
and
then,
if
there
are
any
challenges
in
operating,
what
would
those
be
so?
The
accomplishments
are
new
locations,
increased
revenue,
always
safety
program
and
awards
that
are
won
and
the
challenges
are
always
traffic,
and
this
year,
more
than
ever
has
been
a
lot
of
workforce
issues,
so
not
only
with
keeping
employees
but
also
with
getting
the
correct
employees
hired.
So
that's
been
an
unusual
standout
from
other
years
and
then
we
continue
to
work
on
site
development.
L
We
did
complete
a
road
study
for
the
donaldsonville
industrial
and
technology
park,
so
we
have
a
good
idea
of
what
it
would
cost
to
build
out
the
remainder
of
that
park
by
having
access
into
the
remaining
acreage,
and
then
we
have
one
site
that
is
finishing
up
certification
now
in
germania,
which
is
in
the
riverplex
mega
park,
and
then
mulberry
grove
is
pending
acceptance
into
the
program,
so
that's
another
site
in
the
riverplex
mega
park,
and
then
we
continue
with
marketing.
We
are
still
working
on
our
videos.
We
have
started
the
second
one.
L
We
finished
one
day
of
the
three
days
of
filming.
We
are
hoping
to
finish
this
up
at
the
end
of
this
month
and
then
have
this
video
out
to
everyone.
In
september
we
are
working
off
of
councilman,
milonson's,
fame
and
celebrity
status
from
dancing
with
the
stars,
and
he
is
starring
in
this
video
as
well.
L
So
hopefully
we
can
get
this
one
done
and
and
out
in
the
public,
and
we
also
are
working
with
our
contract
with
a
lead
generation
firm
that
is
specifically
looking
at
renewables,
food
and
clean
technologies
for
targets
that
want
to
come
to
the
gulf
coast.
So
we've
had
three
meetings
set
up
with
companies
in
those
industries
so
far
this
year,
and
then
we
like
to
always
leave
you
with
this
slide
that
talks
about
how
many
jobs
have
been
created
since
aedc
started
operating
and
how
much
investment
has
come
in.
L
B
L
Industries
is
looking
at
a
approximately
200
million
dollar
investment
that
would
create
10,
new
permanent
jobs
and
a
million
dollars
of
new
annual
payroll
at
their
complex
in
donaldsonville.
This
would
be
a
project
to
support
carbon
sequestration,
which
is
moving
forward
with
their
goals
in
the
cleaner
technologies
world
during
construction
it
would
generate
eight
hundred
and
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
in
sales
tax
revenue
for
the
parish
and
over
the
life
of
this
project.
B
L
Thanks
so
pcs,
nitrogen
fertilizer
operates
as
nutrient
in
geismer
and
they
are
considering
a
two
billion
dollar
expansion
project,
so
their
facility
is
in
both
iberville
and
ascension
parishes.
So
the
majority
of
this
project
would
be
on
the
iberville
side
of
the
parish
line.
With
about
279
million
dollars
of
investment
coming
on
the
ascension
side,
the
project
itself
will
create
35
new
employees,
so
that
is
actually
tied
to
the
iberville
portion
of
the
contract,
but
there
are
new
permanent
jobs
that
are
associated
with
the
overall
two
billion
dollar
spend
for
this
project.
L
This
is
to
put
in
a
world-scale
clean
ammonia
facility,
which
is
part
of
their
feeding
the
future
plan,
as
they
have
a
2030
scope.
One
and
two
emissions
reduction
goal
plan
that
they
are
following
in
the
30-year
life
of
this
project.
They
would
generate
7.9
million
dollars
in
direct
property
taxes
for
the
parish
and
1.1
million
in
estimated
sales
tax
revenue
during
the
construction
period.
L
B
What's
my
cosmic
landing,
I'm
think
about
councilman
castle?
Any
objection,
no
objection
motion
passes
we're
there.
We
go
to
item
5e
presentation
of
conceptual
plan
for
early
childhood
education.
We
have
some
public
speakers,
information,
okay,
I'm
going
to
do
the
presentation.
First
then
do
the
speakers?
Okay,.
M
N
M
N
N
Basically,
a
progressive
community
took
200
kids.
They
divided
them
in
two
groups.
One
group
got
early
childhood
education.
The
other
group
got
access
to
no
early
childhood
education
and
essentially,
what
they've
done
is
they
followed
these
kids
through
life
and
so
right
now,
if
you
google,
the
perry
preschool
study,
it
would
be
the
prairie
preschool
study
at
60,
I
believe,
they're
60
years
old.
In
fact,
they're
now
analyzing
the
impact
of
early
childhood
education
on
their
kids.
So
it's
quite
interesting,
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
run
through
some
of
the
the
findings.
N
If
I
can
get
this
to
work
so
essentially
the
findings
were
were
three-fold.
One,
the
academic
achievement.
It
closed
the
achievement
gap
in
low-income
communities.
You
can
see
the
percentage
of
high
school
graduates
of
those
hundred
kids
who
participated
in
the
early
childhood.
Education
was
70
percent
compared
to
54.
Of
those
who
did
not.
The
other
component
was
an
increase
in
social
economic
status.
So
you
can
see
the
percentage
of
kids
employed
at
19
that
participated
in
a
program
compared
to
those
who
didn't.
N
They
also
made
considerably
more
money
and
worked
more
hours
than
those
who
didn't
so
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they
were
tax
producers
and
not
tax
consumers,
and
I
guess
the
real
reason
we
here
and
the
reason
we're
using
the
juvenile
justice
fund
to
fund
early
childhood
education
is
basically
the
impact
it
has
had
on
the
criminal
justice
system.
So
when
you
look
at
those
who
participated
in
the
early
childhood
education,
you
know
and
you
followed
them
through
age
40,
only
seven
percent
had
been
arrested
five
times
or
more.
N
So
the
cost
of
this
early
childhood
education
program
was
fifteen
thousand
a
little
more
than
fifteen
thousand.
They
actually
go
back
and
they
take
each
one
of
these
these
groups
and
they
look
at
what
they
saved
as
a
result,
and
you
can
see
just
the
the
the
benefits
from
the
education
outcome
was:
seventy
7
300
and
that
was
basically
kids
not
having
to
repeat
multiple
grades.
Once
again,
when
kids
repeat
multiple
grades,
that's
a
cost
to
the
school
system.
N
N
O
O
But
you
know
this
is.
This
is
something
that's
near
and
dear
to
both
of
our
hearts.
I
mean
you
see
what
what
happens
here.
You
see,
kids,
that
if
they
don't
participate
in
this
program
they
get
behind
and
when
they're
three
years
old,
they
they
go
into
the
to
the
school
system
behind
and
they
never
they're,
never
able
to
catch
up,
they
close
the
gap,
but
they
can
never
catch
up.
O
You
know
this
is
something
in
terry
and
john
and
I
think
some
of
the
other
council
members
have
gone
gone
to
nichols
and
and
seen
the
the
program
that
they
have
and
it's
something
that
I
think
we
all
admit
will
will
make
a
difference.
It
will
make
a
difference,
no
matter
where
it
is
happens
to
be
this
is
on
the
west
bank
we're
going
to
build
the
facility
at
the
wag
center.
That's
going
to
be
our
our
the
the
diamond.
O
If
you
will
that's
going
to
be
our
star
we're
going
to
have
a
facility
there
that
you
know
possibly,
you
look
at
300
students
in,
but
we
we
backed
up
and
said
you
know
we
really
need
to
crawl
before
we
walk.
So
we
had
this
facility
and
kevin
kelly,
not
here
tonight.
His
partner
jamie
is
here,
but
they
have
7
500
square
feet
in
that
building
that
they
spent
about
15
million
dollars
on.
I
might
have
missed
that
number,
a
bit
jamie,
but
it's
a
lot
of
money
and
the
facility
was
open.
O
They
were
looking
for
somebody
to
put
that
in
commerce
and
we
got
to
thinking
about
this
and
said:
listen,
you
know
before
we
go
and
try
to
build
a
facility
that
has
that
that's
for
300
students.
I
think
the
thing
is
is
that
we
didn't
know.
Are
there
going
to
be
300
students
with
interest
that
that
come
from
the
west
bank
or
we're
going
to
be
able
to
have
teachers
that
for
these
300
students?
What
what
can
we
do
to
learn
this
before
we
make
that
we
make
any
mistakes
in
that
design?
O
So
we
started
looking
at
that
facility
and,
as
it
turned
out,
lexi
dinko
considered
sorry
if
I'm
butchered
that
lexi,
but
it's
it-
you
know,
took
it
look
at
this
and
said:
listen
this!
We
can
make
this
work.
The
bottom
of
this
is
actually
fits
pretty
well,
and
we
have
some
drawings
that
we're
going
to
show
you
later,
but
we're
looking
at
approximately
two
years
that
we'll
operate
out
of
that
facility
and
and
what
that
does
is
instead
of
waiting
two
years
and
and
probably
making
mistakes
in
the
design.
O
O
So
again-
and
john
I
think
was-
was
very
clear
on
that.
You
know
I
think
the
number
is
you're
five
times
more
likely
to
be
incarcerated
if
you
weren't
in
that
program
than
if
you
were
in
the
pre-school
program.
So
you
know
it's
it's
and
the
amount
of
money
that
was
saved
because
not
incarcerating
people
or
them
not
being
part
of
this
juvenile
system.
Then
it's
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
that
we
spend
every
year.
O
Trying
to
punish
the
kids
that
are
in
that,
so
we
said,
look
you
know
the
best
thing.
The
best
thing
that
we
can
do
is
to
not
need
these
juvenile
facilities
it's
to
have
to
have
our
juveniles
to
where
they're
they're,
they're,
good
citizens
and
they're
they're.
You
know
not
ones
that
we
need
to
be
incarcerated,
so
that's
still,
we
took
the
money,
the
the
money
from
there,
as
as
john
had
noted
and
we're
gonna.
O
Here's
our
schedule
and
you
know-
might
be
a
little
bit
aggressive
in
as
far
as
the
modifications
that
we're
going
to
do
to
the
b
lemon
center.
But
you
know
as
you,
if
you're
familiar
with
commercial
real
estate,
they
you
know
we're
going
to
finish
that
out
to
what
they
call
a
white
box.
So
there's
going
to
be,
you
know
the
necessary
things
that
are
going
to
be
there,
and
then
they
wait
until
they
get
a
tenant
and
the
tenant.
You
you
go
in
and
put
the
things
that
are
specific
for
you.
O
O
So
you
know
a
lot
of
experience
in
that
area
and
and
those
modifications
we
say
will
be
complete
about
september
and
then
we'll
go
in
and
do
the
necessary
alterations
in
the
facility
by
the
end
of
this
year.
We
we
hope
that'll
be
done
and
in
january
of
2023,
then
we
open
the
doors
and
we
bring
in
72
students
or
whatever.
O
So
we
wanted
to
take
a
minute.
I
mean
this
is
actually
part
of.
What's
in
the
package
for
the
third
agenda
item
that
we
have,
which
is,
we
have
a
less
than
a
less
than
50
000
contract
with
multi-studio,
which
is
the
company
that
lexi
that
lexi
works
for
she's,
also
she's
doing
the
design
at
the
library
across
the
river,
her
her
company
specializes
in
not
just
education
but
early
childhood
education.
O
So
and
lexi
did
this
for
us,
you
know
as
a
kind
of
a
gift.
If
you
will-
and
you
know
this
is
the
the
b
lemon
building
that
jamie
and
mr
kelly
are
redoing.
The
15
million
dollar
building.
This
is
about
7
500
square
feet
is
within
the
red
area
and
that's
where
we
wanted
to
look
at
that,
and
let's
just
make
sure
that
the
classrooms
that
we
need
the
spaces
that
they
need
according
to
the
law,
all
these
these
required
things
fit.
O
So
what
she
came
up
with
is
that
we
needed
to
do
these
72
students.
We
need
these
six
classrooms,
we
have
a
couple
of
offices
in
there
we
have
a
reception
area,
we
have
an
indoor
play
area,
we
have
a
cafeteria
and
we
have
an
outdoor
play
area,
and
so
you
know
really
when
you
look
at
the
regulations,
the
outdoor
play.
Rare
area
is
the
restrictor
that
keeps
us
from
having
a
few
more
than
that,
but
this
is
again
looking
at
railroad
and
mississippi
and
in
donelsonville
all
right
back.
N
To
john
yep,
so
if
we
said
it
once,
we
said
it
a
thousand
times
we're
not
interested,
or
at
least
from
this
administration's
standpoint
and
operating
and
maintaining
in
any
way
shape
or
form
being
the
experts
in
early
childhood
education.
We
just
want
to
pay
for
results.
The
same
results
they
got
at
the
perry
preschool
we
reached
out
to
several
universities
even
met
with
several
private
vendors,
and
I
just
I
can't
say
enough
with
the
way
we
were
treated.
N
Obviously
nichols
has
the
academic
credentials,
they
offer
a
master's
and
a
bachelor's
degree
in
early
childhood
education.
They
also
have
an
associate
degree
in
child
development
and
pre-school
management.
Once
again,
we
see
this
as
a
a
pipeline
for
employees
and
not
just
your
regular
employees
but
very
educated
and
knowledgeable
employees
in
addition
to
their
academic
credentials.
Their
business
savvy
is
not
real
bad
either
they
actually
run
and
operate
on
campus,
the
little
kernels
academy.
N
So
we
think
that
they
can
bring
us
a
lot
of
of
not
just
academic
knowledge
but
day-to-day
business
operations.
So
we're
very
excited
about
the
opportunity,
and
it's
also
in
your
packet-
we're
gonna,
enter
into
a
not
to
exceed
forty
nine
thousand
dollar
contract
for
nichols
to
come
in
and
do
a
lot
of
the
just
policies
and
procedures.
N
You
know
helping
us
design
the
building
in
an
ergonomic
way
where
it's
conducive
to
early
childhood,
education,
safety
and
security,
development
policy
and
procedures,
rules
and
regulations.
So
it's
just
going
to
bring
us
at
that
knowledge
base
that
we
don't
have,
and
so
we're
very
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
have
have
them
here.
N
Also
too,
if
y'all
have
technical
questions,
because
because
this
presentation
is
about
as
far
as
me
and
bill's,
knowledge
of
early
childhood
education
goes,
but
we
have
here
in
the
audience,
lexi
tango,
dr
misty
la
sang
with
nicholls
state
university,
dr
cloon,
the
president
of
nicholls
university,
bobby
weber,
our
awesome
sheriff
and
leroy
sullivan
and
ken
brass.
So
if
you
have
any
questions,
this
is
a
team
effort.
This
is
a
group
effort.
We've
met
over
and
over
again,
I
think
we're
all
excited
about
this
opportunity.
P
Committee
members,
thank
you
so
much
once
again
and
by
the
way
jacob
wagga's
pack
is
a
great
auditor,
but
he's
not
easy.
I
know
that
so
to
get
a
good
audit,
you
earned
it.
So
thank
you
and
as
the
citizens,
I'm
very
proud
of
this
council
and
this
administration
and
patrick
goldsmith
and
stacy
all
you
do
with
you
with
the
finances
and
and
miss
leblanc
before
you
for
so
many
years
to
have
a
surplus
of
12
months
surplus.
P
P
It
takes
a
while
to
get
it
back
so
to
be
in
that
kind
of
position.
I'm
a
proud,
I'm
proud.
As
a
citizen
and
I'm
proud
of
you
for
being
so
transparent
and
having
such
a
a
good
financial
outlook.
You
know
I
have
to
worry
about
several
things.
I
have
to
worry
about
juvenile
justice,
so
I
have
to
make
sure
that
what
we
do,
we
also
have
some
funds
to
put
juveniles
in
a
detention
center
when
they
need
to
be
there
and
that's
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
right.
P
I
mean
you
just
looked
at
the
news.
Recently
look
dave,
we
have
juveniles,
that's
being
housed
in
alabama
and
I
think
they're
being
sent
back
to
louisiana
somewhere.
We
are
fortunate
to
where
we
have
beds
that
we
have
in
saint
bernard
parish.
I
wish
we
could
have
them
closer,
but
that's
closer
than
most
sheriffs
around
me,
and
so
we,
when
we
have
the
funds
to
to
house
them
there.
P
P
Nothing
ever
happens
fast
enough
for
me,
you
know
and-
and
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
has
gone
as
far
as
it
has
gone
is
because
this
council
may
have
seen
you
know
what
they're
actually
doing
something
we
always
heard
people
talk,
you
know
it's
like.
We
ought
to
do
this
and
we
ought
to
do
that.
Well,
y'all
said
I
tear
down
the
school.
We
tore
down
the
school
okay,
so
let's,
let's
take
the
little
building
back
there
and
let's,
let's
remodel
it!
P
Well,
it's
in
the
it's
in
the
process
of
being
remodeled
for
a
a
common
study
area
that
we're
going
to
put
on
that
block
between
mcginnis
and
st
patrick.
So
a
lot
of
thing
is
happening
back
there
and
not
just
because
of
the
sheriff's
office,
this
administration
or
this
council.
You
see
the
mayor
behind
us
dead
involved
in
it.
You
see
the
legislative
delegation,
that's
here,
you've
seen
the
library
involved
in
a
big
way.
So
it's
you
know.
We
always
said
it
takes
a
village.
P
Well,
you
see
in
the
villages
coming
together
and
I
will
tell
you
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
meetings
and
we
don't
like
going
to
a
lot
of
meetings,
but
nobody's
nobody's
fell
out
with
each
other.
Yet
nobody's
got
sideways
and
that's
unusual
when
you
have
this
or
this
type
of
collaboration
for
everybody
to
be
on
the
same
page,
but
I
will
tell
you
nobody's
walked
out
and
we
seeing
this
thing
go
forward.
I
I
don't
what
you
said
january
25.
P
I
guess
it
seemed
like
just
too
too
long,
but
I
know
the
reality
is
probably
that's
what
it's
going
to
take
for
us
to
do
that,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
interesting
things
happening
on
that
wax
and
the
site
between
between
now
and
then,
and
I
will
tell
you
when
kevin
kelly
gets
involved
with
something
it
seems
to
happen.
You
know
he
just
does
some
pretty
amazing
things,
so
I
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
that.
Unbelievable
building.
P
I've
been
in
it
many
many
times
in
my
life,
and
some
of
you
have
too,
but
it's
it's
pretty
remarkable,
so
I
know
there
can
be
some
really
great
things
happening
there
and
I
do
support
that
and
I
do
support
using
the
funds
that
we
have
to
support
that
interim
program
right
there
at
the
lemon
building
and
hopefully
that
will
get
us
started
early,
because
why
waste
this
time?
Why
wait
to
2025
we'll
be
doing
we'll
be
doing
some
pretty
interesting
things
at
the
wag
center?
P
But
if
we
can
get
these
great
folks
from
nichols
and
we
get
kelly's
group-
and
we
can
get
this
council
in
this
parish
and
the
rest
of
this
coalition
to
stay
together
and
get
something
going,
we
ought
to
do
it.
We
ought
to
not
wait
because
you've
been
watching
the
and
listening
and
hearing
the
news
like
like
and
we're
having
some
juvenile
problems.
We
really
are.
I
I
hate
to
say
that
we
lost,
maybe
maybe
we
lost
a
generation
of
our
juveniles.
P
B
Q
Good
afternoon
first,
I
want
to
say
when
john
was
talking,
he
said
we
have
bobby
webber
the
sheriff
he's
saying
we
have
leroy
and
ken
all
right.
So
I
guess
we
that's
the
the
tag
along
with
the
sheriff,
but
I'm
the
mayor
for
the
city
of
donaldsonville,
and
I
would
like
to
just
regress
a
little
bit
to
say
when
the
auditors
gave
their
report
when
you
look
at
over
400
plus
pages
of
audit
work,
and
you
had
two
findings.
Q
Q
It
makes
me
very
proud,
as
the
mayor
to
know
that
we're
headed
in
the
right
direction.
I
think
that
when
you
talk
about
having
a
facility
a
smaller
facility
at
the
lemon
building,
I
sort
of
look
at
that,
like
a
business,
that's
getting
ready
to
open
up
and
doing
a
soft
opening
where
they
they
want
to
make
sure
that
they
get
everything
right
before
they
do
the
large
opening
right
and
what
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
is.
Q
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
everything
right
before
we
build
a
facility
and
then
say:
oh,
what
are
we
going
to
do?
How
are
we
going
to
hire
people
get
people
here
to
work?
Will
we
have
enough
input
from
the
community
so
by
doing
this,
the
smaller
one?
It
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
see
where
we're
going
and
making
sure
that
that
we
get
everybody
involved
in
it.
Q
When
you
talk
about
from
six
months
to
three
years
of
age
and
and
that
gap
in
the
city
of
donnersville,
where
we
know
that
the
city
of
donaldsonville,
the
poverty
level
is
higher
than
the
national
average,
it
is
something
that
is
desperately
needed
in
the
city
of
donaldsonville,
so
starting
on
a
smaller
scale.
I
think
it's
good
for
all
of
us
to
see.
You
know
where
we're
going,
how
we're
going
to
get
there
and
what's
the
best
way
to
do
it.
Q
R
R
R
This
is
a
game
changer
not
only
for
the
west
bank
of
ascension,
which
incorporates
johnsonville
it's
going
to
have
a
huge
impact
on
ascension
parish
on
the
river
parishes
and
a
huge
impact
across
this
great
state
of
louisiana
right
now,
the
eyes
on
ascension
parish.
This
is
one
thing,
that's
unique
and
never
has
been
done
before.
R
There's
no
other
time
where
I've
seen
higher
ed
local
government
library,
boards
sheriff
departments.
This
state
come
together
and
be
unified
on
one
effort
that
can
have
impact
on
our
kids
across
this
parish.
As
mr
diaz
mentioned,
this
is
an
investment.
That's
ultimately
going
to
allow
ascension
parish
to
see
a
cost
savings
on
the
back
end.
So
I
just
want
to
stop
by
and
say
thank
you
and
to
note.
R
This
is
only
one
piece
of
the
puzzle:
we're
actually
having
conversations
where
we
have
allocated
funds
that
we're
going
to
start
a
satellite
for
paris
community
college
on
the
west
bank
in
downs
bill.
It's
going
to
be
the
hub
from
st
james
ascension.
It
revealed
an
assumption,
so
our
goal
is
to
teach
our
kids
from
birth
to
three
work
with
the
school
system,
to
get
them
from
k
to
12th
grade
and
then
ultimately
have
some
training
and
job
opportunities
as
they
become
young,
productive
citizens.
S
Thank
you,
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee.
I
just
want
to
speak
because
you
can't
stress
enough
the
importance
of
early
childhood
care
and
education.
I
worked
for
37
years
in
the
ascension
parish
school
system.
For
nine
years
I
was
principal
at
dutchtown,
dutchtown
elementary
school
and
we
were
very,
very
successful
there.
We
had
an
outstanding
faculty,
we
had
great
teachers,
but
we
also
had
children
who
came
to
us
ready
to
learn
and
when
they
do
that
it
it's
a
whole
lot
easier
to
do.
To
get
that
later.
S
They
were
working
as
hard
or
harder
than
anywhere
doing
everything
they
could.
We
tried
to
work
with
facilities
with
materials.
We
did
everything
we
could,
but
the
problem
was
this:
the
children
when
they
started
school
were
two
three
years
behind
and
if
you
work,
if
you
work
as
hard
as
you
can
you
get
a
whole
year's
worth
of
growth
at
the
end
of
the
year,
they're
still
two
or
three
years
behind
and
you
go
year
after
year
after
year,
they
never
catch
up.
So
obviously
the
key
to
that
is
early
care
and
education.
S
So
I
was
just
so
happy
to
see
when,
when
john
brought
this
idea
to
us,
the
fact
that
you
all
are
considering
doing
something
like
that.
It
is
absolutely
going
to
be
the
thing
that
makes
a
difference,
and
unfortunately,
you
won't
see
results
next
year.
You
won't
see
results
immediately,
but
20
years
from
now,
30
years
from
now,
people
will
look
back
on
what
you
did
as
a
council.
What
you
all
did
as
an
administration
and
will
just
just
applaud
you
for
the
vision
that
you
had
in
making
something
like
this
happen.
S
T
U
Sorry,
I'm
kind
of
put
put
on
the
spot,
so
I'm
gonna
try
not
to
trip
over
my
words.
We
are
very
grateful
for
the
opportunity
just
to
speak
with
you
guys.
Early
childhood
is
my
passion.
All
of
my
degrees
are
in
early
childhood
seems
like
50
of
them,
but
it
it
starts
at
birth.
It
starts
at
birth.
For
years
we
hear
that
there's
a
reading
gap
in
in
schools
and
kids
aren't
coming
into
kindergarten,
ready
and
where's.
U
How
do
I
handle
my
two-year-old,
who
just
refuses
to
potty
train?
You
know
speaking
to
those
who
who
have
been
trained
in
that
area
and
giving
them
the
strategies
to
implement
at
home
and
just
in
public
and
and
so
it's
not
only
about
the
children,
it's
about
providing
that
family
support
as
well
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
and
like
multiple
individuals
have
said
previously,
you're
not
going
to
see
results
immediately.
H
I
think
that
we
were
there
on
the
first
day
that
this
was
discussed.
I
can't
remember
when
that
was
frankly,
but
it
it
has
been
an
amazing
process
and
I
thank
everyone
involved.
I
do
have
four
questions.
I'd
like
to
ask
that.
I
hope
that
I
already
know
the
answers
to,
but
that
might
help
us
solve
any.
You
know
answer
any
questions
that
the
public
might
have.
H
H
So
I
also
have
I
obviously,
the
cooperating
entities
are
supportive
and
so
that
that
includes
the
library
board,
the
sheriff's
office,
the
city
of
gonzales.
Excuse
me
steve
donaldsonville,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
So
that's
that
was
my
third
question
already
answered,
and
the
fourth
is
that
it
is
important
I
think,
to
this
program
that
it
be
implemented
as
soon
as
possible
at
the
wag
center
in
the
community,
where
this
need
exists.
H
All
right,
thank
you.
I
I
thought
all
that
was
clarified,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
we
I
understood
it
and
everybody
else
did
too.
Certainly
all
of
this
is
going
to
have
my
support.
I
I
ask
my
fellow
members
this
council
to
support
it
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
them
and
all
of
you
to
to
see
it
come
to
fruition.
V
V
I
know
those
two
was
dearly
in
conversation
in
doing
this
and
john
taking
the
the
spearhead
of
taking
the
head
of
it
moving
it
forward,
along
with
the
administration
looking
to
do
this
on
the
west
bank
of
ascension,
where
it's
badly
badly
needed
and
again
the
the
position
that
we
are
in
and
the
opportunity
that
we
have
and
the
participants
that
will
be
making.
This
thing
happen
with
the
with
the
sheriff's
department,
the
library
and
the
school
board,
the
initiative
and
the
ascension
parish
spearheading
it.
V
And
again
I
I
should
say
the
west
bank
is
in
dire
need
of
so
much
and
at
this
point
in
time
I
should
say
that
we
have
had
have
a
lot
of
things.
That's
going
on
at
this
point
on
the
west
bank,
and
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
person
that's
participating
again
with
the
sheriff
and
the
library
and
the
school
board.
V
It's
it's.
It's
very
exciting
to
to
know
that
we'll
be
having
early
childhood
center
on
the
west
bank,
along
with
some
other
stuff
working
with
the
b
lemon,
mr
kelly
moving
forward.
So
again,
I'm
very
excited
to.
I
appreciate
each
of
you
all.
That's
that
we've
been
working
together
and
making
sure
that
things
are
at
hand,
and
I
would
be
very
permissed
to
leave
my
mayor
out.
V
We
appreciate
him
supporting
and
being
being
on
board
and
working
together
and
my
state
representative,
mr
brass.
We
thank
you
for
your
support
and
all
that
that
goes
on
on
the
west
bank.
So
again,
working
together
doing
things
together.
I
think
we
get
a
lot
done
in
that
direction
again.
Mr
president,
I
salute
you
again,
so
things
are
going
well
on
the
west
bank,
so
we
we
appreciate
it.
It
may
have
taken
a
long
time,
but
again
we
had
a
point
to
where
we
we
doing
things
are
going
well.
V
I
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
actually
commend
representative
brass
because
he
said
something
that
was
really
important,
that
this
is
one
piece.
This
is
one
piece
of
the
puzzle,
because
this
is
going
to
give
a
lot
of
young
parents
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
get
out
the
house
get
some
job
training,
so
they
can
go,
be
productive
members
of
society
and
not
having
to
watch
kids,
which
is
a
very
hard
thing
when
you
also
have
a
family
to
raise.
So
that
was
very
important.
I
Thank
you
for
going
out
there
and
getting
that
you
know
long
term.
Hopefully
this
can
turn
into
something
where
it's
early
childhood
development,
we're
also
combining
with
the
state
to
provide
people
with
training
and
parental
training,
because
I
can
tell
you
you
know
a
lot
of
this.
We
we
heard
it
starts
at
birth.
I
That's
the
parents
right
there.
We
got
two
years
before
they
get
into
this
parental
training
is
so
important,
and
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
young
parents.
Unfortunately,
there
are
a
lot
of
young
single
parents
in
johnsonville
and
it's
too
much
on
them.
Sometimes
you
know
if
this
can
be
used
to
get
out
of
that
cycle.
I
Daniel
patrick
moynihan
had
a
study
a
long
time
ago.
Talking
about
the
importance
of
having
a
father
in
the
in
the
family
and
judge
turner
has
got
a
system
going
on.
I
said:
look
it's
a
son
he's
not
a
judge
not
yet,
but
you
know
he
he's
doing
something
right
now,
where
kids
that
get
into
trouble
he
he
brings
them
into
a
special
program.
A
four-week
program
I
know
sheriff
webber
is
working
on
that.
Also,
all
these
little
things
that
we're
doing
are
really
going
to
help
change
the
tide.
C
M
N
A
daycare
center
in
prairie
ville,
where
everybody
works
eight
to
five.
This
may
be
six
to
ten
at
night.
We,
you
know,
so
that's
part
of
the
reason
we'll
do
the
salt
opening
there
may
be
transportation
involved
and
those
are
the
things
we
want
to
figure
out.
You
know
in
the
next
two
years
as
we
you
know,
on
a
smaller
scale
before
we
scale
up
awesome.
C
C
C
R
Yeah,
those
two
mention
will
be
incorporated
in
college,
actually
doing
some
studying
now
to
see
what
the
need
is.
One
thing
they
will
do
is
start
to
reach
out
to
some
local
industry
to
get
some
of
the
timelines
as
far
as
what
disciplines,
what
what
like
pipe
fillers
electrical
instrumentation
at
what
point
they're
going
to
need
certain
disciplines
to
be
trained
so
that
we
can
ultimately
expand
our
pool
and
they
can
be
hired,
have
a
great
opportunity
to
hire
local
people.
So,
yes,
those
things
will
be
taking
consideration.
One.
R
To
mention,
while
I
was
up
there,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
the
support
of
house
bill
460
that
was
just
recently
signed
by
the
governor.
There
are
some
recently
that
bill
was
was
unfairly
portrayed
on
a
local
site
here,
so
I
just
want
to
ensure
you
guys
and
to
the
public
that
no
way
shape,
form
or
fashion
did
house
bill
460
create
an
additional
taxes,
nor
did
it
expand
in
current
taxes.

W
So
for
the
two
roti
road
improvement
projects,
you'll
see,
they
were
already
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
we're
proposing
to
add
another
million
to
each
of
those.
You
see.
Those
are
pretty
high
construction
estimates
for
those
projects
and
then
the
other
ones
that
you
can
see
highlighted
and
the
amounts
that
are
being
proposed.
I
So,
and
maybe
a
million
more
people
are
watching
nobody
ever
watches,
but
I
wanted
to
show
that
we
are
the
funds
that
we're
getting
from
our
traffic
impact
fees
are
going
directly
into
our
roads
to
the
tune
of
we
have
two
hundred
thousand
left,
which
is
amazing
that
we're
going
to
look
for
uses
of
that
also
as
it
builds
up.
So
that's
really
just
the
point.
I
want
to
make
that
we're
using
this
money.
It's
not
sitting
there,
it's
not
being
wasted.
It's
going
into
projects
that
you
know.
I
As
soon
as
we
can
get
utilities
moved
on
a
lot
of
these.
We
will
be
in
a
position
to
build.
You
know.
Unfortunately,
utilities
are
an
issue
right
now,
but
you're
doing
a
good
job.
The
administration
has
been
able
to
put
together
some
good
plans,
work
with
patrick
here
to
make
sure
that
this
money
goes
into
projects
that
are
going
to
have
results.
I
So
that's
what
we
got
to
work
on
next
is
you
know
getting
some
houses
being
built
over
there
and
I
think,
with
this
early
childhood
development
and
some
of
the
industry
that's
happening
over
there,
it's
going
to
be
a
really
great
place
to
live
where
people
are
going
to
want
to
start
moving
over
to
johnsonville,
that's
going
to
increase
those
funds,
you
can
put
excuse
me
put
more
money
into
those
roads
over
there.
That's
it!
Thank
you,
jeff
good
job,
okay,
yes,.

that's

which
I
just
didn't
take
any.
I
just
didn't
hit

my
button
quick
enough
to
to
talk
about
that,

it's
