Morning
to
everyone,
let
me
go
over
some
items
that
are
involved
right
here.
The
first
is
the
status
of
an
intergovernmental
agreement
with
cpra,
dotd
and
pld
to
use
Consultants
I
have
been
working
with
Mr
Peterson.
He
wanted
first
to
work
and
finish
the
the
intergovernmental
agreement
with
cpra,
so
we
are
waiting
for
drafts
back.
As
you
recall,
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
use
the
already
contractual
agreements
that
may
have
been
in
place
by
any
of
these
entities
in
order
to
make
things
move
faster.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
a
intergovernmental
agreement.
F
F
Several
of
the
items
that
I
was
interested
in
making
sure
got
changed
was
to
make
it
clear
that
if
staff
and
new
executive
director
once
selected
and
the
Antoni
or
in
fact
anybody
who's
doing
work,
that
is
for
the
eight
million
dollars
that
we're
to
receive
that
those.
If
people
keep
their
time
that
those
things
could
be
potentially
reimbursable.
F
So
those
particular
items
we've
got
that
down
to
the
last
few
items
and,
as
you
recall,
the
status
of
that
was
that
once
John
had
a
chance
to
finally
look
at
it
and
we
got
that
back
from
him
on
Monday,
with
some
additional
comments.
I
I
think
Mr
chairman
that
you
could
maybe
comment
as
to
whether
or
not
you
think
it's
in
a
position
now
the
way
the
cpra
wants.
F
About
something
indifferent:
okay,
the
intergovernmental
agreement
is
still
eight
million
dollars.
Okay
and
and
we
we
in
but
actions,
were
taken
to
change
our
8
million
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
supplemental
appropriation
bill.
That
bill
is
now
been
past,
the
Full
House
and
is
over
in
the
Senate.
F
It
is
pending
right
now
in
Senate
Appropriations,
us
Lieutenant
Finance
excuse
me
and
that
will
be
considered
as
a
result
of
that
I've
reached
out
and
spoken
to
Senator
White's
staff,
and
he
indicated
that
he
was
going
to
see
about
putting
that
money
back
into
the
bill.
But
right
now
it
is
only
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
master
plan,
which
part
of
is
already
eaten
up.
F
F
G
A
F
F
G
H
F
They
I,
don't
think
the
house,
members
and
representative
bakala
tried
to
explain
it
very
clearly
to
the
people
in
the
committee.
If
you
look
and
you
can
go
back
in
archives
and
see,
he
made
a
a
pretty
Valiant
effort
to
try
to
convince
the
chairman,
Mr
zarang,
that
that
money
needed
to
be
back
in
the.
A
E
It
was
my
understanding
that
the
money
that's
appropriated
on
the
annual
budget,
like
that,
it's
use
it
or
lose
it.
So
if
you
don't
use
it
during
that
time
period,
you
give
it
back.
So
it's
the
same
thing
with
the.
If
they
put
it
back
in
is
good
for
one
year,
just
like
the
hundred
thousand,
they
put
in
that's
good
for
a
year.
It's
use
it
or
lose
it
so
that
eight
million
was
actually
appropriated
last
year.
E
So
when
it
came
to
this
year
we
didn't
use
it,
so
they
used
cpra
I
think
used
some
of
it,
but
we
didn't
get
any
of
it
so
that
money's
gone
and
now
they've
replaced
it
with
a
hundred
thousand
out
of
the
house
and,
like
you
said
it's
up
to
the
Senate
to,
but
whatever
they
give
us
in
a
bill
like
this,
it's
use
it
or
loses.
The
ideal
situation
is
to
get
some
Bank
of
money
that
is
distributed
over
a
period
of
time.
E
F
I
Yes,
that's
correct.
I
do
think
it's
important
to
note
that
the
money
is
not
gone.
Is
there
is
a
proposal
to
remove
that
that
came
out
of
the
house
that
would
have
to
pass
the
senate
for
that
to
be
the
case,
so
there's
an
opportunity
here,
I
think
for
us
all
to
to
speak
with
our
legislators
and
make
sure
they're
aware
of
the
importance
of
keeping
that
money
where
it
is
so
I
don't
want
to
overreact.
I
F
J
F
B
F
D
F
As
commissioner
Harris
kind
of
described
it,
this
is
a
supplemental
appropriation
bill,
so
it
is
a
little
bit
like
next
year.
You
need
to
use
it
or
it's
rolled
over
to
the
next
year,
in
other
words,
you're
only
going
to
get
what
you
use,
you
see
what
I'm
saying
so
High
likelihood
in
my
opinion,
based
upon
knowing
what's
going
on
down
there,
that
that
will
be
put
back
in.
K
K
I
The
the
the
agreement
creates
that
bona
fide
obligation
of
the
funds,
and
so
we're
ready
to
go
we're
good
to
sign
that.
We
have
to
clean
up
a
few
of
the
comments
that
Mr
Manson
was
mentioned
a
minute
ago
and
we're
ready
to
ready
to
get
that
signed.
But
it
had
no
bearing
on
what
happened
in
the
legislature.
L
A
L
E
F
Same
all,
right,
the
next
next
item,
if
you
recall
in
your
packet,
there
is
a
memorandum,
it's
this
document
here
you
see
this.
If
you
recall
representative
Carter
asked
that
we
provide
the
commission
members
a
memo
about
the
natural
and
Scenic
river
system
and
the
process
of
it.
This
was
as
a
result
of
Representative
Hodges
Bill.
Six
excuse
me
465.,
it's
a
lot
of
material,
but
it
it
describes
the
process
and
recommendations
of
how
you
get
in
and
how
you
get
out.
F
I
will
tell
you
that
house
bill
465
remained
in
natural
resource
committee
and
it
will.
There
will
not
be
probably
enough
time
for
that
bill
to
get
through
the
entire
process,
but
this
is
the
requested
report
from
representative
Carter
in
our
last
meeting
to
provide
an
update
about
how
the
process
works.
J
J
However,
after
a
two-hour
meeting
the
other
day,
we've
got
a
a
different
understanding
of
the
rules,
so
now
their
interpretation
is
you
remove
50
percent
of
the
debris
that
was
in
there
prior
to
our
storm
and
100
percent
of
the
strawberry
debris.
So
we
it's
that's
a
huge
difference.
Difference
there.
We
can
move
forward
with
that
and
I.
Don't
think
I
would
ever
ask
to
remove
the
scenic
rivers
from
the
parish.
As
long
as
we
could
remove
that
much
debris,
it's
all
about
protecting
the
public.
J
A
F
I
know
all
about
it.
The
next
item
I'm
gonna,
skip
over
the
resolutions
for
a
second.
The
next
item
is
the
legislative
report.
That's
this
document
here,
I'll
briefly
go
over
kind
of
what
the
status
of
legislation
that
I
saw.
That
was
this
house
bill.
406
by
representative
Mincey
involves
the
I-12
Corridor
in
that
particular
issue.
The
bill
is
presently
pending
in
the
Senate
House
Bill
514
by
mensy,
that
particular
bill,
which
involves
the
issue
of
the
proposition
involving
the
tax
money.
That
bill
has
not
gotten
out
of
the
house.
F
F
If
you
recall,
last
year,
representative
zarang
passed
a
bill
that
created
the
storm
water
utility
system,
which
would
allow
municipalities
and
parishes
to
pass
by
a
vote
in
the
councils
of
a
stormwater
utility
like
in
Baton
Rouge,
we
have
a
sewer
fee.
This
would
be
a
storm
water
fee.
The
bill
by
representative
Edmonds
requires
now
that
this
would
require
a
vote
of
the
people.
It
has
some
certain
mandates
as
to
the
length
and
term
of
it
that
bill
passed
out
of
the
house
and
is
currently
pending
in
in
the
senate
committee.
F
The
next
bill
which
I
really
went
over
is
House
Bill
465
by
Hodges.
That
bill
remains
in
committee
and
finally
is
Senate.
Bill
42,
which
is
the
statutory
creation
of
the
Louisiana
watershed
management
Council
to
statutes,
as
you
recall,
we
have
been,
we
have
been
designated
arbc
has
been
designated
as
now
region
9,
and
we
are
in
fact
the
steering
committee
for
that
committee.
That
bill
is
presently
pending
in
on
the
house
floor.
That
bill
is
I
would
expect
getting
ready
to
pass
I'll
answer
any
questions
you'll
have
on
legislation.
F
I'm
sorry
514.,
okay,
5
14..
If
you
recall
this
was
the
bill
in
which
the
remaining
funds
that
we
have
for
the
Comey
diversion
Canal
project,
which
is
a
dedicated
source
of
funds.
This
was
an
attempt
to,
in
effect,
allow
for
this
commission
to
place
on
the
ballot,
a
vote
to
quote
undedicate
and
allow
the
funds
to
be
used
for
other
purposes.
F
This
is
a
issue
in
which
there
is
basically
a
contract
between
the
public
and
the
commission
that
dedicated
these
funds
and
limited
the
source
of
them
only
to
the
Comey
diversion
Canal.
This
was
an
attempt
to
allow
a
greater
flexibility
in
reference
to
that.
The
bill
was
brought
up
initially
in
the
house.
F
There
was
a
vote
for
an
admit
some
amendments
and
those
amendments
failed
and
it
has
been
placed
on
what
they
call
subject
to
call
each
day
and
in
fact
it
is
listed
for
the
16th
I
think
actually
today
for
a
potential
vote.
But
it's
been
that's
been
being
done
every
day
right
now,
I,
don't
know
what
this
I
don't
know,
whether
or
not
that
bill
will
would
or
would
not
get
out
of
the
out
of
the
house,
but
we
we
only
have
two
weeks
left
so
to
get
that
passed
and
done.
A
So
the
the
last
amendment
to
this
bill
is
to
not
just
rededicate
the
money
to
be
used
for
to
take
it
from
to
put
up
to
the
voters
to
take
it
from
the
Comey
River
diversion
project
which
is
not
complete
and
the
prices
just
got
doubled,
but
and
to
use
that
abroad
to
use
that
leftover
money
abroad.
Now.
But
now
it's
been
amended
to
give
it
back
to
the
taxpayers
as
a
rebate,
so
to
speak.
F
That
Amendment
failed,
so
I
don't
know
at
that
Amendment.
It
was
a
detailed
Amendment.
It
failed
on
committee,
but
so
the
bill
is
in
the
same
posture.
It
was
as
it
was
introduced
and
if
you
go
on
what
I
sent
you
these
links,
it'll
show
you
what
the
in
Gross
bill
was.
So
that's
the
status
of
the
bill
as
a
past
committee.
It
did
not
have
a
lot
of
debate
in
the
house
committee.
It
has
been
on
the
floor.
E
E
Just
like
we've
talked
about
round
two:
a
hundred
million
dollars
out
of
1.2
billion,
they're
metering
out
a
hundred
million
dollars
Statewide
and
meantime
their
the
bureaucracy
that
goes
on
and
all
of
these
things
and
any
of
y'all
that
served
on
region.
Seven
that
we
were
in
before
we
got
carved
out
realizes
that
they're
that
they're
bringing
in
bringing
Consultants
from
Washington
D.C.
That's
how
they're
spending
the
money
and
talking
to
our
local
coordinator.
E
What
what
is
your
plan?
It
was
nothing
to
do
with
water
retention,
flood
control,
flooding.
It's
we're
here
to
help
the
people
and
to
give
people
that
have
the
exact
words
people
that
haven't
had
a
voice
at
the
table.
We
want
them
to
come
and
participate
that
money
was
put
here
to
keep
people
from
flooding,
and
this
is
a
bureaucracy
that
just
doesn't
get
it,
and
what
this
is
going
to
do
is
make
it
a
permanent
structure.
As
soon
as
we
get
a
new
governor,
the
new
governor
can
reorganize
that
disadvantage.
E
F
L
Clark,
if
I
could
ask
Mr
Banks
in
a
question
about
sb42.
If
that
bill
goes
through,
it
would
push
lwi
region
9,
which
is
actually
aim
at
River
Basin
commission,
underneath
the
division
of
administration
I
know
we've
had
some
conversations
about
it.
Can
you
speak
to
whether
that
would
dilute
our
control
at
our
level
of
power?
We
currently
have,
as
a
commission.
F
F
F
L
L
I'll
I'll
point
out
talking
to
Paul
Sawyer
last
week.
This
thing
flew
through
the
Senate,
where
it
was
originally
came
from
no
comments
reported
out
of
the
committee.
Favorably
went
through
the
the
house.
I,
don't
think
it
had
a
single
comment
against
it.
Either
Paul
used
a
phrase,
I
won't
repeat
here,
but
he's
like
if
I'll
just
say
it
flew
through.
So
he
was
definitely
encouraging
us
if
we
had
any
kind
of
issues
with
it
to
be
paying
attention
to
it
so
and.
F
The
final
item
that
I
have
is
I
was
directed
to,
and
this
is
this
document
here.
It's
referred
to
as
public
notice.
This
is,
we
must
have
a
Auditor
in
place
before
the
end
of
August,
and
this
I've
been
working
with
Louisiana
legislative
auditor's
office
on
the
specific
language
that
needs
to
be
included.
We
can
select
an
auditor,
but
the
auditor
must
come
off
a
list
that
is
provided
by
the
Legislative
auditor's
office
who
have
been
certified
they're,
approximately
30
different
entities
or
companies
or
businesses
in
Baton
Rouge.
F
They
are
four
or
five
in
Ascension
Parish
and
there
is
one
in
Livingston
Parish
that
would
all
basically
potentially
qualify,
but
we
need
to
consider
moving
on
this
particular
action
here.
It
has
some
criteria,
it
would
need
a
committee
for
us
to
evaluate
any
proposals
and
we
would
need
a
deadline
to
for
them
to
present
to
us.
So
I
hope
I
asked
the
president
to
open
that
up
for
discussion,
because
we
do
need
to
move
on
this
particular
item.
G
F
A
F
Right,
the
only
thing
I
do
need
from
the
commission
is.
We
need
to
put
a
deadline
of
when
this
submission,
so,
if
we'll
get,
we
can
get
these
out
to
all
the
different
you
want
to
say,
June,
June
30th
is
that
something
was
that
okay
to
work
with
that
everybody,
okay,
I'll,
we'll
fill
that
in
and
get
this.
F
This
notice
out
and
I've
skipped
over
I
have
prepared
a
number
of
resolutions
and
that
y'all
can
pick
that
up,
which
is
the
arbc
resolutions
in
support
of
the
number
one
priority:
flood
projects
I've
given
a
set
of
potential
resolutions
to
Tony,
but
that's
an
item
that's
showing
up
at
the
end.
We
really
don't
need
to
take
any
action
on
the
legislative
report
just
to
accept
it
and
we've
already
taken
action
on
the
advertising
for
the
auditor's
position.
So
that
being
said,
that's
yeah
I'll
answer
any
questions.
F
As
you
know,
we
were
attempting
to
use
the
process
that
is
in
place
with
cpra
pld,
as
well
as
dotd
I
have
a
framework
of
using
the
information,
actually
that
you
gave
me
on
on
those
steps
which
I
think
gives
all
the
details
on
how
we
should
proceed.
So
we
have
in
place
right
now,
A
procurement
code
about
by
rule
but
which
we've
used
in
the
past,
but
I
think
it
needs
to
be
modified,
and
maybe
we
can
work
to
resolve
that.
A
L
Going
to
leave
this
mic
on
for
a
while
I
guess
so
our
committee
met.
Initially
we
got
projects
from
I
believe
all
parishes,
except
for
Saint
Helena
I
do
want
to
point
out.
We've
got
to
call
in
to
Roderick
who's,
their
osep
director
in
Saint,
Helena
Parish
asking
them.
If
there's
planning
to
submit
anything
for
lwi,
we
don't
have
anything
from
them
yet,
but
we're
pending
a
response
from
Saint
Helena
I
did
want
to
go
around
and
just
make
sure
there's
a
spreadsheet
on
everybody's
desk.
This
spreadsheet's
not
finalized.
L
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
list
of
just
number
ones,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
that,
after
conferring
with
several
members,
represent
several
parishes
here
on
the
commission,
which
you
would
almost
call
the
number
one
of
number
ones
here
is
missing.
It
has
actually
already
been
updated
on
the
spreadsheet
on
our
SharePoint
site
it'll
be
distributed
after
adjournment.
L
It's
the
manchac
project,
I
believe
it
was
colloquially
being
called
it'll,
be
submitted
with
the
rest
of
these
projects.
But
what
I
thought
we
would
do
is
we'd
go
around
to
each
Parish.
Let
them
mention
their
number
one
priority,
and
then
we
would
take
an
action
as
we
as
we
went
on
a
perish
basis
on
which
ones
to
actually
issue
a
take
official
action.
As
a
commissioner's
on,
if
anybody's
got
any
objection
to
that,
I
believe
that'll
be
enough.
Mr
Bankston!
L
If
we
go
around
the
room
sort
of
around
Robin
per
Parish,
you
can
then
use
those
actions
to
issue
those
letters
of
support
and
then
Mr
Mr
Haas
with
cpra.
We
can
issue.
We
can
give
you
guys
those
letters
once
they're
printed
along
with
the
packets
of
information
that
we've
been
submitted
and
if
y'all
see
any
holes
or
anything
that's
in
there.
Any
additional
information,
please
communicate
with
our
committee,
we'll
be
sure
to
get
it
to
you
so
much
without
any
further
Ado.
L
A
I
can
start
with
Iberville.
Our
number
one
project
is
going
to
be
the
Bayou
manchac
Regional
project.
That's
fine!
This
Regional
flood
risk
reduction.
It's
going
to
entail
a
couple
of
different
phases,
but
primarily
it's
been
identified
that
by
you,
man,
Shack
drains
is
draining
poorly
there's
a
lot
of
debris.
It's
hadn't
been
maintained,
it's
a
Scenic,
historic
stream
and
so
that's
been
lifted
to
allow
for
maintenance
of
the
stream
limited
to
just
that
so
for
Iberville
Parish,
all
of
East
Iberville,
which
includes
Sunshine
Carville,
St
Gabriel.
A
Those
whole
two
points
all
has
to
drain
into
by
your
man
check
by
way
of
allocated
by
you,
so
we're
dependent
on
Bayou
manchac
to
as
an
outfall
to
float
our
Waters
to
give
relief
to
the
city
of
Saint,
Gabriel
and
Carville
Gillis
long.
All
of
those
a
lot
of
petrochemical
facilities,
we're
subject
to
flooding
there
we're
challenged
and
if
Bobby
manchac
is
high
and
it
won't
flow
out,
we
we're
subject,
I
mean
it's
we're
faced
with
flood
challenges
and
a
lot
of
times.
A
What
we've
noticed
is
by
looking
at
the
USGS
gauges
up
and
down
by
uman
Shack
and
on
the
Amy
River
Amy
River
can
be
as
low
as
has
fallen
to
its
natural
levels,
say
seven
foot
lower
than
by
you
manchac,
and
we
can't
figure
out
why
Bayou
manchac
is
perched
in
the
air.
So
to
speak,
it's
just
not
draining
so
there's
been.
Surveys
done.
That's
identified
a
lot
of
debris
on
the
bottom
of
the
channel.
The
channel
is
half
full
even
before
it
starts
raining
so
to
us.
That
means
a
lot
I
think.
A
Another
part
of
the
project
is
to
look
at
Ward's
Creek
Wards
Creek
is
known
to
drain
up
to
75
percent
of
Metropolitan
Baton
Rouge.
It
starts
at
the
state,
capitol
and
picks
up
all
of
the
water
from
there
to
Government,
Street
to
Corporate
Boulevard
to
Essen,
Lane
bluebonnets,
all
the
way
down
and
it
empties
into
Bayou
manchac.
So
it
too
has
to
drain
through
by
your
manchac
and
the
alignment
where
warts
Creek
enters
into
By
Your,
Man
Shack,
it's
pointing
Upstream,
so
to
speak.
A
Downstream
would
be
towards
the
Amy
river
which,
by
mancheck
empties
into
so
part
of
the
project,
is
to
realign
it
to
where
the
the
mouth
points
Downstream,
where
it
can
flow
out
a
lot
more
easily
and
there's
some
other
obstructions.
Part
of
this
project
is
also
to
look
at
the
la-427
bridge.
Y'all
might
know
it
is
old,
Perkins
Road
in
front
of
Santa
Maria.
A
L
So
president
Clark
well
actually
I
should
probably
direct
that
for
thurso
first
off.
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
for
describing
the
project.
Mr,
Bankston
I
think
there
are
several
parishes
here
that
would
probably
consider
that
their
number
one
also
would
those
parishes
want
to
just
say
we
want
to
Second
this
as
they're
number
one
and
then
just
take
action
at
each
on
that
project.
Then
we'll
just
move
to
the
parishes
that
that
don't
consider
that
they're
number
one
and
move
forward.
That's.
A
L
A
A
A
L
B
I
want
to
state
that
pneumonia
I
totally
support
the
manchac
project.
I
know
when
we
had
our
meetings.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussions
about
a
lot
of
projects
and,
quite
frankly,
I
was
pretty
much
assured
that
we
were
already
going
to
be
entitled
to
I
mean
it's
laid
out
to
do
due
to
manchac
project,
but
I
wanted
to
be
sure.
Everybody
from
the
commission
knows.
That
is
our
number
one
project.
B
That
certainly
is
our
number
one
project
clearing
it.
We've
done
that,
but
there's
some
more
work
that
needs
to
be
done,
particularly
from
Bayou
Fountain,
back
West,
to
pick
up
a
lot
of
the
area
for
Iberville,
parish
and
also
EBR.
So
certainly
our
number
one
project
from
East
Baton
Rouge
Parish,
is
the
Manchaca.
L
K
L
L
K
So
manshack
is
my
number
two.
My
number
one
is
the
New
River
storm
water
management,
Pump
Station
project
manchac
cannot
be
the
only
solution
anytime,
the
Amy,
River
or
the
Basin
itself
is
inundated
with
flood
waters.
You
have
a
bike
water
event,
possibly,
and
so
you
have
to
have
another
Outlet
of
or
another
way
to
get
that
water
out
of
manchac
and
or
at
least
not
to
contribute
to
it.
K
What
that
allows
that
to
do
is
it
allows
us
to
pump
New
River
down
and
then
accept
water
from
Spanish
Lake,
which
ultimately
ends
up
in
manchac,
as
well
as
summer
Bluff
swamp,
reducing
those
elevations
and
providing
an
alternative
sending
that
water
into
the
Mississippi
River.
This
is
the
only
project
listed
that
removes
water
from
the
Amy
River
Basin,
completely
and
in
doing
so
is
has
the
benefit
to
each
of
those
parishes
Downstream,
and
so
when
we
have
a
high
water
event,
such
we
had
in
May
2021
the
flooding
area.
K
With
with
the
aqua
dams
and-
and
all
that
goes
along
with
the
legalities
of
that,
this
provides
an
opportunity
to
not
have
the
Spanish,
Lake
water
or
the
bluff
swamp,
contribute
to
manchac,
allowing
it
to
recede
quicker,
faster
and
then
hopefully
not
having
to
to
employ
different
tactics
or
or
structures
such
as
the
aqua
dams.
So
when
we're
not
taking
water
from
Spanish,
Lake
or
Bluff
swamp,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
split
the
Marvin
bro
Basin
in
half
and
then
all
the
water
in
the
geismarck
Dutch
town
west
of
Gonzales.
K
That
water
would
then
also
be
put
into
the
Mississippi
River,
therefore
not
contributing
that
water
to
the
Amy
River
Basin,
which
would
possibly
affect
St,
James
and
Livingston.
So
at
any
given
time
that
this
is
utilized,
it
has
benefit
from
a
regional
standpoint,
and
so
this
has
been
looked
at
from
the
Corps
of
Engineers,
probably
two
decades
ago.
K
We
just
need
the
upfront
funding
to
go
ahead
and
start
the
project.
This
would
also
protect
the
highway
30
Corridor,
which
creates
jobs
throughout
the
region,
not
just
for
Ascension
Parish,
but
every
surrounding
Parish.
So
in
addition,
there
is
an
economics
to
this
project
as
well.
It
even
has
the
ability
to
affect
the
Women's
Correctional
Facility
other
other
governmental
buildings
such
as
that,
and
so
overall,
it's
just
a
a
huge
project.
J
Absolutely
I
do,
as
you
can
see,
I
have
something
on
there
to
remove
sediment
from
basically
manshack
or
Port
Vincent
area
to
the
lake.
That
is,
in
fact
our
number
one
project.
Please
understand
that
by
you,
man,
Shack
is
a
good
project.
I
do
support
it,
however
you're
dumping
water
on
us
so
help
us
help
the
other
parishes.
J
We
will
take
the
extra
water,
but
give
us
a
way
to
get
it
on
out
to
the
lake
and
like
Fred,
brought
up
he's
got
other
waterways
he's
working
on.
They
also
like
he
said:
dump
into
man
Shack,
which
dumps
into
Livingston
Parish
and
Ascension,
we
border
each
other.
So
that
is
my
number
one
project.
By
far.
A
Can
you
so,
can
you
tell
us,
commissioner,
Harold
a
little
bit
about
so
you're
talking
about
the
Amite
River
from
Port
Vincent,
just
south
of
where
Bobby
manchac
empties
into
the
Amite
River
to
remove
the
sediment?
So
there's
apparently
there's
a
sediment
problem
in
the
channel
from
that
point,
south.
A
J
B
Since
the
the
dredging
issue
came
up,
I
just
want
to
also
explicitly
dictate
or
indicate
that
number
one
that
the
manchac
project
we
don't
need
to
dredge
the
entire
manchac
project,
either
they're
hot
spots
in
Low
Places
in
there
that
have
to
work
it
out
and
get
the
drainage
through.
The
system
and
I
just
want
for
clarification
purposes
to
understand,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
when
you
use
the
word
dredge
and
they
go,
they.
B
A
A
G
A
G
A
L
L
That's
a
hydraulic
control
structure
and
pumping
station
in
St
James
with
the
interconnected,
Levee
believe
Mr
Weber
presented
this
project
that
continues
to
bl's
number
one
priority:
correct,
correct:
okay,
there's
any
questions
about
any
of
these
projects
we'll
share
the
project
inventory
committee
has
summaries
on
all
of
these
and
they're
on
a
OneDrive
which
anybody
has
access
to
on
the
committee
after
this
we're
happy
to
share
those
summaries
with
anybody.
If
you
have,
if
you've
got
any
curiosity
about
them,
but
last
but
not
least,
I
wanted
to
mention.
L
L
We
did
not
hear
back
from
representative
Carter
he's
not
here
today,
but
I
did
reach
out
to
Saint
Helena
and
I'll
make
a
couple
of
other
attempts
to
continue
to
to
contact
them
about
potential
projects
as
well,
but
for
the
most
part,
those
projects
list-
I,
don't
know
if
we
just
want
to
take
an
action
as
a
whole
to
support
those
number
ones
and
then
have
Mr
Bankston
go
ahead
and
work
with
Miss
Tony
to
issue
those
letters
of
support
from
this
organization.
Unless
anybody
has
any
other
questions
or
comments.
J
J
Yes,
they
had
just
get
it
out
in
the
open,
they
had
nrcs
funding.
They
recently
lost
it
about
two
weeks
ago
and
if
due
to
the
fact
they
didn't
have
the
cost
share
to
cover
it.
So
if
we
could
submit
I'll
help
them
put
a
package
together
and
you
can
help
and
let's
get
it-
those
waterways
submitted,
so
they
can
get
100
funding.
Saint.
M
J
A
A
A
A
C
L
L
F
A
H
I
L
Was
a
request
I
believe
that
was
part
of
Chip's
original
request,
but
I
would
also
point
out.
An
astute
commissioner
may
have
whispered
under
his
breath
here
that,
just
because
there's
a
diverse
set
of
funding
options
out
there
I
think
an
individual
letter
of
support
for
each
one
of
these
projects
might
benefit
just
for
some
reason.
L
If
something
falls
through
the
cracks
later
on,
we
can
submit
that
letter
as
some
type
of
supporting
documentation
for
a
different
funding
source,
so
another
bite
at
the
Apple,
so
Mr
Larry
I,
know
it
might
be
a
little
more
difficult
to
write
six
or
seven
of
these
letters.
But
if
you
could
write
them
individually,
I
think
it
would
probably
be.
F
F
A
Is
you
know
it's
obvious
that
the
sand
and
gravel
mines
operations
on
the
upper
Amy
river
is
and
has
been
a
problem
for
a
long
time
at
some
point,
we're
going
to
need
to
figure
out
what
to
do
to
address
that
and
commissioner
Harris
head
he's
been
looking
at
this.
He
was
on
the
former
RBC
board
and
they
they
were
aware
of
this
problem
and
but
I
think
under
the
situation
that
it
was
operated,
the
cost
and
the
funds
The
Limited
funds
restrictiveness.
A
E
E
One
of
the
things
that
again
with
some
of
these
others
down
the
road
we
do
need
to
look
at
like
Mark's
talking
about
dredging
the
lower
a
meat
we
need
to
address
where
that's
coming
from
and
plus
there's
some
some
major
opportunities
for
retention,
just
like
Fred's
doing
in
EBR.
No,
it's
not
a
Darlington
Reservoir,
but
Dewberry
has
already
done
some
studies
on
retention
in
the
abandoned,
gravel
pits,
and
that
is
there's
some
real
benefit
for
everybody,
south
of
that.
So
that
was
that
was
something
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
E
J
So
I
think
the
project
you're
speaking
of
if
nothing
else
apply
for
a
study,
scoping
project
or
something.
Let's
do
some
engineering
to
see
what
can
be
done
up
there
and
then
maybe
come
back
and
do
phase
two
on
the
construction
later.
But
I
think
this
would
be
an
excellent
project
for
arbc
to
take
on
and
put
as
their
number
one
project
exactly.
E
E
Don't
understand
why
I
could
not
get
any
information
on
what
they
were
working
on
for
over
a
year,
I
tried
to
I
talked
to
Monica,
I
talked
to
Glenn,
couldn't
get
any
information
back
and
forth
on
that,
and
now
some
of
this
that
came
in
was
was
almost
ludicrous,
where
472
million
dollars
to
take
silt
and
go
put
it
back
where
it
came
from.
We
have
a
potential
for
retention
in
that
area.
E
L
K
L
Can
ease
I
can
easily
work
with
you
to
develop
a
scope
and
fill
out
the
information
we're
request
in
here
and
to
get
it
in
under
the
gun.
We
just
want
to
add
that
as
a
go
ahead
and
have
Mr
Banks
and
also
write
a
letter
of
support
for
that,
I
can
work
something
up
with
you.
If
you
have
an
idea
of
the
scope
that
you're
looking
for
to
get
it
submitted
on
behalf
of
arbc,
so
I
think
Mr
Harrell,
commissioner
Harrell
is
actually
speaking
about
yeah.
F
L
Mr
Banks
and
what
I'll
do
is
if
I
can
square
some
time
away
tomorrow
with
Mr
Harrison.
The
pm
I'll
work
something
up
and
then
I'll
immediately
get
it
over
to
you,
a
high
level
scope
document
and
then
I'll
finish
fleshing
out
the
rest
of
it,
so
that
we
can
get
it
to
Mr,
Haas
and
cpri.
With
the
rest
of
this
stuff,
perfect.
A
You
know
just
from
my
my
past
experience.
I
believe
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
looking
at
ways
to
repurpose
these
abandoned
gravel
mines.
There's
a
lot
of
benefit
for
retention,
perhaps
down
the
road.
Recreation,
there's
multiple
benefits
and
you
know
a
river,
the
Amy
River
as
it
comes
from
high
to
low
Downstream.
You
know
from
north
to
south,
and
it
goes
through
a
section.
A
So
it
makes
the
channel
unstable
and,
as
it
becomes
more
unstable,
there's
more
and
more
bank
erosion
and
as
the
Banky
roads.
All
of
that
sediment
fills
the
channel
that
that
sediment
moves
Downstream
and
creates
problems
that
Livingston
Parish
Mr.
Commissioner
Harold's
going
to
try
to
address
on
the
lower
a
meet,
so
I
believe
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
repurpose.
This
abandoned
lunar
looks
like
a
lunar
landscape
so
for
multiple
uses
and
benefits,
and
maybe
flood
reduction
sorry
to
have
to
throw
that
out.
There.
A
A
A
We
got
responsibilities,
we
have
preferred
qualifications,
we've
listed
our
benefits
package
and
so
forth,
and
there's
been
several
versions
that
we
work
through
I.
Think
everybody's
commented
on
it
and
I
think
we're
at
a
point
now
where
this
is
about
as
good
as
we
get.
Commissioner
quintmon,
do
you
have
a
comment?
Well.
K
I
was
head
of
the
committee.
Unfortunately,
due
to
the
time
constraints,
commissioner
O'neill
worked
a
lot
on
this
I
want
to
thank
him
for
all
this
hard
work,
because
I
don't
think
we
could
have
gotten
to
this
point
without
his
dedication.
With
that
being
said,
this
is
such
a
high
profile
job
and
when
you
look
and
review
the
duties,
I
guess
what
concerns
me
is
eventually
we're
going
to
need
to
have
a
company
come
in
and
be
our
program
manager
for
our
projects
or
engineering
or
scoping
grants.
K
If,
if
Tony
would
like
to
take
those
and
be
compensated
for
for
those
that
we
would
need
to
fill
130
000
to
150
000
position
that
actually
we
would
rely
on
a
company
and
if
at
any
time
that
would
be
an
annual
contract
at
any
time
that
we
felt
that
this
company
wasn't
serving
serving
us
that
we
could
actually
choose
another
company
to
to
step
in
and
play
that
role.
I
just
want
to
look
at
this
description.
A
lot
of
companies
do
this.
They
certainly
do
it
for
us.
K
I
know
they
do
it
for
other
parishes.
You
know
we
have
an
adapt
program
to
where
this
company
comes
in.
They
do.
They
have
created
30
projects.
For
us
it
is
the
next
10
years
they
scope
the
financing
for
us.
They
apply
for
our
grants.
They
do
the
engineering
when
we
request
it
per
task
order
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
set
up
very
similar.
We
would.
K
I
know
other
parishes.
Do
it
so
I
just
liked
for
us
to
get
together,
as
a
committee
discuss
that
option
look
at
who
would
do
what
and
possibly
not
hire
this
particular
position
but
hire
a
company
to
fill
those
duties
instead.
So
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
before
we
pull
the
trigger,
because
once
we
do
we're,
probably
on
that
path
for
a
while
and
I
mean
it
would
be
on.
It
would
be
just
for
us
to
hire
someone
and
then
change.
K
Of
course,
months
after
deciding
to
go
a
different
route
so
before
we
pull
that
trigger
and
actually
go
out,
I
would
look
at
I'd
like
to
look
at
that
option,
because
I
think
there's
there's
plenty
of
companies
here
locally
that
have
those
abilities
they
do
it
already,
and
so
I
just
want
to
look
at
those
options
before
we.
We
move
too
far
ahead.
L
F
F
D
Clement
the
thing
that
you're
talking
about
I've
taught
about
that
seriously
because
when
you
consultant
for
the
consultant
firm
had
many
Engineers
working
and
then
the
venue
and
some
of
these
projects,
gonna
need
different
type
of
Engineers
to
work
on,
as
opposed
to
just
one
person
trying
to
tackle
all
these
issues,
and
some
some
things
on
this
thing
can
be
done
again
by
Tony.
So
we
can
save
a
lot
of
money
by
hiring
a
consultant
for
him,
because
you're
only
going
to
use
them
as
you
need
them.
D
H
F
A
E
H
K
There,
that's
that
is
correct.
They
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
the
project,
but
they
will
use
their
Engineers
to
check
it.
They
will.
They
will
make
sure
that
the
Project's
staying
on
budget
they
will
check
and
Screen
change
orders.
They
will
help
assist
with
contracts
to
make
sure
that
our
interests
are,
you
know,
put
to
the
Forefront
also
in
developing
projects.
They
will
keep
up
with
that.
Give
us
a
10
to
15
year
outlook
on
projects
keep
up
with
that
consider
BCAAs.
They
will
create
BCAAs
course.
K
K
B
B
Well
come
on,
but
you
know
again
I'm
more
about
having
one
individual
me
to
have
week
that
answers
to
us,
you
know
and
that
we
could,
you
know,
have
a
little
more
Direction
and,
quite
frankly,
looking
at
our
budget
situation.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
we
can
make
it
fit
within.
The
dollar
amounts
that
we're
going
to
need
to
make
do
with.
K
It
yeah
as
long
as
that
one
individual,
so
we
did
a
search
for
a
drainage
director
and
it
was
like
searching
for
a
unicorn
and
we
couldn't
find
it
right.
We
couldn't
find
it
so
I
think
the
companies
have
the
ability
to
give
us
the
full
array
of
services
for
which
one
individual
may
not
be
able
to
provide
I
mean
you're.
K
If
we
had
to
check
something
I
mean
so,
let's,
let's
say
a
BCA
or
or
let's
say
we
go
out
for
a
project
and
some
company
submits
modeling
and
this,
and
that
who
up
here
is
going
to
review
all
that
who
has
the
expertise
to
review
at
all
other
than
Mark
so
not
to
Overlord,
overload
Mark
and
John's
plate.
We
need
somebody
to
be
able
to
handle
the
tech,
the
technical
part
of
these
projects
and
and
not
only
in
their
creation,
but
also
in
their
management.
K
I
I,
even
with
an
executive
director
I,
think
we're
going
to
eventually
move
to
hiring
a
company
too
I.
Don't
think
that
we
can
do
it
with
just
an
executive
director,
so
I
just
want
to
look
at
the
option
of
not
hiring
one
and
having
those
duties
of
the
executive
director
put
towards
the
company.
The
company
does
not
have
our
best
interest.
Guess
what
canceled
our
contract
we'll
get
another
one,
that's
the
beauty
of
it
and
it's
an
annual
contract.
It's
no
one
to
have
to
fire.
K
It's
none
of
these
personal
things
that
we
got
into
just
a
couple
months
ago.
This
is
just
this.
Is
business
and
I
love
just
doing
business?
It's
not
personal!
You
got
a
job
to
perform
and
here's
your
duties
and
I
suggests
to
check
here.
It
is
I'm
gonna
give
it
to
you
company
you're,
going
to
perform
these
for
us.
If
you
can't
we're
going
to
find
somebody
else
that
can-
and
that's
that's
just
it's
a
lot.
It's
a
lot
easier.
K
It's
a
lot
more
professional
and
we're
going
to
need
that
expertise
as
we're
going
to
handle
projects
on
our
own,
which
is
what
I
think
the
intention
of
we're
going
to
have
to
have
that
expertise
on
our
side
and
no
one
on
this
commission
I
believe
has
the
time
to
sit
there
and
go
over
all
these
projects
and
do
all
of
that
and
so
having
a
company.
I.
Think
we're
going
to
have
to
be
required
to
have
that
anyway.
J
Yeah
I'm
gonna
have
to
lean
with
Fred's
answer
on
that.
Unfortunately,
I
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis
about
250
million
dollars
a
day,
I'm
dealing
with
in
Livingston
and
if
I
need
help.
I
have
Consultants
that
I
hire
or
engineering
firms
matter
of
fact,
Mr
O'neill
has
done
work
for
us
and
we
use
them,
and
then
we
move
on
to
the
next
project,
but
I
feel
I
manage
everything
in
Livingston.
L
This
I
want
to
say
it's
an
Innovative
idea,
it's
very
Innovative
idea
and
there's
there
are
more
than
just
Ascension
Parish.
That
does
this
kind
of
thing.
I
would
say
that
I
think
several
of
us
between
the
executive
committee
and
folks
that
have
led
these
committees
have
understood
the
strain
of
doing
work
for
arbc,
since
one
one
of
23
and
I
would
suggest
or
I
would
I
would
posit
the
theory
that
most
of
the
projects
we
would
engage
in
would
include
funding
for
engineering
and
design
where
those
folks
would
have
to
answer
to.
L
Somebody
would
have
to
demonstrate
the
proof
and
provide
supporting
documentation.
They
would
have
to
be
out
for
our
best
interest
or
those
contracts
would
allow
for
us
to
move
on
and
potentially
penalize
them
if
they
didn't
do
a
good
job.
I
would
also
say
that
I
like
the
idea
of
a
centralized
face
and
voice
that
represents
this
entity.
That
is
not
up
and
I,
don't
want
to
say
this
in
a
pejorative
way.
I
hired
gun,
because
I
am
a
bit
of
I,
am
an
engineering
consultant.
So
I
don't
want
to
think
of
myself.
L
That
well
I
would
also
say,
commissioner
quaintmont.
We
could
go
ahead
and
move
to
advertise
for
this
and
based
on
the
applicants
that
we
receive,
we
decide
not
to
move
forward
and
say
the
Unicorn
is
too
difficult
to
find
we're
going
to
explore
another
way
to
have
arbc
managed
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
So
I
think
we
could
ride
two
horses
with
one
rear
end.
If
you
know
what
I
mean
at
least
initially
go
ahead
and
see
what
what
we
bring
back
when
we
cast
our
net,
you
know
net
out
there
and
then
from
there.
L
If
we
find
out
this
is
just
a
little
too
difficult
or
we
can
can't
find
that,
like
you
said
unicorn,
then
perhaps
we
revisit
that,
but
I
would
also
say
that
quote
unquote
putting
the
brakes
on
things
at
this
point.
Just
from
a
personal
perspective,
the
work
that
I've
put
in
and
it's
unpaid
I
know
we
get
100
a
month
as
an
appointment,
but
I've
forgotten
that
payment
I
would
love
to
get
somebody
in
here.
That
has
responsibility
for
it
and
would
assume
control
of
it
on
a
day-to-day
basis
that
we
could
then
answer.
L
K
Yeah
I
don't
mind
at
all:
listen
I'm,
throwing
this
out
for
discussion
so,
but
I
would
like
to
to
move
and
parallel.
So
we
can
compare
the
two:
let's
look
at
what
it
would
cost
for
a
company.
Let's
get
some
general
ideas.
Let's
take
some
of
these
executive
director
duties
and
see
what
that
looks
like
as
we're
looking
for
the
Unicorn
just
in
case.
We
can't
find
the
Unicorn,
because
this
is
this
is
a.
K
This-
is
a
specialty
in
my
opinion
and
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
that
do
it
and
if
they
and
with
the
chart
the
tight
labor
market,
people
with
specific
skills
or
gobbled
up
quickly
and
they
get
paid
a
tremendous
amount
of
money,
and
so
I
would
just
like
to
work
in
parallel
to
see
what
that
may
look
like
just
in
case
just
in
case.
We
don't
find
that
unicorn.
E
Commissioner
Harris,
the
number
that
I
heard
discussed
was
130
to
180.
in
the
private
sector
180
in
the
public
sector.
That
may
be
good
pay
because
of
the
benefit,
the
retirement
package.
That
comes
with
that,
and
that's
that's
the
reason
all
your
work
for
government
is
because
of
that
retirement
package.
You
get
half
your
money
after
you
retire,
but
180
in
the
private
sector
is
pretty
skimpy,
so
I
would
think
130
to
180.
K
L
Was
going
to
say,
Mr
Bankston
I
believe
helped
us
initially
with
wide
range
numbers
based
on
previous
executive
directors
and
some
other
examples
I
think
he
pulled
from
some
some
publicly
available.
There's
a
website
I'm,
not
sure.
If
any
of
you
guys
are
familiar
or
any
of
you.
Commissioners
are
familiar
with
it,
but
you
can
actually
punch
in
a
salary
range
and
it'll
show
you
state
employees
because
of
sunshine
laws,
or
not
the
actual
names
of
the
employees,
but
the
positions
that
they
hold.
F
Yeah,
the
Levee
districts
as
well
as,
if
you
go
to
the
Civil
Service
website
site
you
can
put
in
categorical
areas
and
it'll,
give
you
and
you
kind
of
look
at
what's
going
on
at
dotd
as
well
as
cpra,
and
some
of
those
you
can
get
some
salary
ranges
from
that.
So
it's
it!
You
may
find
this
to
be
an
adequate
number.
L
And
and
again
this
is
this:
isn't
a
this
is
a
negotiation
point
in
terms
of
the
advertisement,
I,
don't
think
it'd
be
hard
and
fast
I
believe
that
would
be
part
of
the
negotiation
based
on
the
unicorns
that
flew
into
our
net,
so
to
speak,
but
does
anybody
have
any
issues
with
that
range?
That's
as
as
discussed
everybody,
okay,.
F
A
A
H
K
J
K
C
C
H
C
A
F
It
correct
Tony
that
if
you
took
the
amendment
number
two
from
2022
to
2023
and
just
adopted
that
that
would
be
sufficient.
Yes,
so
what
she's
saying
is
this
particular
amendment
that
we
looked
at,
which
was
amendment
number
two?
If,
if
the
board
adopts
that
particular
Amendment
for
next
year's
23
24
budget,
at
least
you'll,
have
a
budget
in
place
prior
to
June
30th
should.
F
C
F
Right
right
so
I
mean
if
you
took
these
numbers
and
it
has
salaries
and
because
of
the
fact,
even
though
we're
going
to
have
a
potential
increase,
because
that's
was
not
the
amount
that
was
being
paid.
It
was
only
a
hundred
and
three
thousand,
but
the
fact
that
we
have
a
number
of
months
that
we
may
not
have
any
income
any
executive
director
I
think
for
the
purposes
of
what
she
needs
to
have
done
before.
F
A
C
A
M
A
Moving
on
to
new
business,
okay
under
new
business
first
item
is
to
renew
the
geoquery
arbc
website.
Email,
contract-
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that.
I
emailed
that
to
you
all,
it's
pretty
straightforward,
Tony
works
with
them
more
directly.
It's
just
keeping
our
website
updated.
It's
not
any
fancy
creating
creating
or
redesigning
anything,
but
from
time
to
time.
You
do
need
it
and
they've
been
doing
it
for
a
while.
A
C
David's
been
working
for
the
commission
longer
than
I
have
and
we
work
well
together.
I
put
everything
in
Quicken
reconcile
and
then
I
send
everything
to
him.
He
re-enters
it
into
QuickBooks
and
produces
the
financial
statements
that
you
see
and
it's
a
it
protects.
The
commission
say
if
you
ever
get
an
executive
secretary,
someone
that's
doing
something
wrong,
he
would
catch
it.
So
it's
always
been
great
to
have
an
outside
person
handling
our
financial
information
beside
me.
So.
A
A
F
In
the
previous
contract,
it
had
an
issue
as
it
relates
to
me,
serving
as
an
alternate
on
the
lwi
that
needs
to
be
taken
out.
I
have
that
we
don't
have
an
lwi
alternate
situation
anymore
and
the
other
aspect
of
it.
Someone
suggested
it'd,
be
a
yearly
contract,
as
opposed
to
three
years.
I
have
no
opposition
to,
or
complain
about
that,
and
the
other
issue
is
some
language
change.
There's
a
statement
concerning
commissioner's
statement
that
really
is
applicable
for
more
more
K,
more
contracts
involving
the
division
Administration.
A
Yeah
I
would
just
like
to
make
a
personal
comment.
You
know
it's
going
to
be
hard
to
replace
the
institutional
knowledge
and
knowledge
of
the
Amite
River
Basin
commission,
any
more
than
Mr
Bankston
has
you
could
get
an
you
could
get
another
attorney,
but
they're
not
going
to
know,
have
the
historical
knowledge
and
never
miss
a
Beat
during
the
whole
process.
Thank
you
appreciate
that.
So
all
right.
Moving
on
to
our
next
item.
A
E
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
chip
described
whenever
he
had
had
several
comments
about
people
flying
into
Baton
Rouge,
whenever
you're
coming
in
on
the
North
Runway
into
EB
into
the
to
the
airport.
You'd
fly
over
the
canal
and
it
is
impressive.
I
flew
over
that
Sunday
and
there
are
so
many
people
that
feel
like
if
you're
on
any
of
these
feeds,
like
I
know
several
of
y'all
are
from
the
public.
E
So
what
I
was
proposing
is
that
we
do
it's
almost
a
public
service,
but
it's
a
it's
public
awareness
awareness
where
we
would
do
a
five
to
ten
minute
video,
where
we
would
a
very
brief
history
and
here's
where
it
was-
and
you
know
just
90
seconds
of
here's
where
it
started.
Here's
where
we
are
today
and
then
a
detail
of
a
flyover.
Here's
where
we're
at
on
this
we're
75
percent.
E
Here
the
contract's
been
let
on
this
bridge,
it's
the
same
thing
that
we
always
got
every
month
from
dotd
on
their
update,
but
this
would
be
something
that
we
would
put
on
our
website.
If
it's
only
I,
don't
know
how
long
it
would
be.
But
if
it's
only
five
minutes
we
could
get
on
some
of
the
morning
shows
that
played
the
whole
thing
and
it's
something
that
arbc
is
doing
and
we're
informing
the
public.
We
can
have
a
disclaimer
on
there,
hey
it's,
not
our
fault,
but
I.
E
The
so
I
did
some
just
preliminary
checking
High
number
you're.
Looking
at
30
grand
I
talked
to
Mark.
He
said
we
can
do
it
a
lot
cheaper
than
that,
but
I
know
30
would
I've
already
done
some
preliminary
numbers
30
would
cover
it.
So
I'd
ask
that
we
would
authorize
budget
up
to
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
produce
that
educational,
video.
F
K
Like
I
think
you
could
do
it
pretty
easily,
but
a
prefer
drone,
just
just
flying
it
over
with
a
drone
and
doing
some
video
and
then
manipulating
that
video
to
shorten
it
up
for
the
time
frame
for
which
we
need
I
do
think
it
would
be.
A
great
I
was
had
the
ability
to
go
down
and
actually
walk
down
into
the
Comey
diversion
project.
And
it's
it's
something:
it's
something
to
see
it
from
the
sky.
But
it's
something
to
walk
down
into
it.
To
understand
that
how
massive
it
actually
is
so
I.
F
A
D
L
So
I
I
can
tell
y'all
my
engineering
firm
actually
has
a
corporate
Communications,
Department
and
all
of
our
Municipal
clients
for
all
their
projects.
We
don't
even
charge
them.
We
literally
just
do
these
videos.
We
always
have
our
drone
folks
go
and
I'm
not
trying
to
advertise
phones
to
make
I'm
just
trying
to
say
it
does
not
cost.
Thirty
thousand
dollars
is
probably
way
more
than
what
you
need
to
have
a
drone
go
out
there
get
somebody
in
front
of
a
camera,
make
some
comments
and
do
some
montages.
J
A
J
A
J
A
C
K
Can
do
an
intergovernmental
agreement
with
Ascension
I
got
all
the
capabilities
of
doing
this,
but
but
let's,
let's
see
what
our
capabilities
are
and
let's
let's
we
may
not
have
to
spend
anything
here.
So
if
we
can,
just
you
know,
send
us
the
committee,
we
can
just
discuss
it.
We
can
look
at
our
options.
Maybe
we
could
possibly
do
an
integrable
agreement
to
where
I
can
get
approval
exactly
to
do
that
for
hardly
anything.
Consider
options.
Okay,.
A
Sounds
good
so
we'll
put
it
to
the
executive
committee
to
look
at
these
options
and
before
we
sit
a
price
and
go
out
looking
abroad
for
this,
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
it
among
ourselves,
another
positivity
of
having
a
parish
just
sitting
together
at
on
one
one
thing.
Thank
you,
commissioner,
equipment
Ascension
Parish
for
suggesting
that,
and
maybe
we'll
make
that
happen.
So
he
did.
A
A
E
Okay,
well,
the
and
you
can
tell
by
the
number
of
emails
you've
got
she
stays
at
it
continuously
and
what
we're
asking
in
this,
especially
in
this
interim
time,
but
even
going
forward
the
role
that
she's
playing
she
plays
in
our
success,
can't
be
overemphasized.
So
I
would
recommend
a
seven
and
a
half
percent
increase
in
salary,
at
least
as
a
minimum.
My.
E
H
A
K
Square
Mall
I
think
we
need
to
evaluate
it
and
look
at
the
duties
and
and
kind
of
do
an
evaluation.
Therefore,
we
can
come
up
with
Acura,
just
I,
don't
know
just
throwing
out
some
numbers
with
with
no
I
think
we
should
send
it
to
the
committee,
so
we
can
evaluate
her
duties
in
time,
so
we
can
appropriately
compensate
her
for
her
her
actions
instead
of
just
coming
up
with
random
numbers.
K
L
L
Today,
we've
been
talking
about,
like
you
said
earlier,
the
money
that
we
don't
have
this
would
be
Costless
to
us,
and
all
we
have
to
do
is
say
yes,
Dewberry
can
provide
you
this
data
and
then
they'll
provide
the
maps
to
us
on
the
back
end.
It's
for
MBS,
MBS,
related
Maps
or
a
natural
beneficial
solution
which
Jack
was
talking
about
earlier.
L
What
to
do
with
potential
gravel
pits
up
there
I
think
if
we
talk
to
them
about
that
and
we
told
Dewberry
to
communicate
with
them
and
focus
on
something
like
that,
I
mean
to
get
it
for
free
with
everything
else.
We're
going
to
have
to
pay
I
think
it
would
be
great
and
I
think
all
it
takes
is
for
somebody
like
us
to
say
somebody
at
the
executive,
Community
level
say
yes
Dewberry.
L
B
M
I
was
just
about
to
say,
depending
on
what
that
data
is,
it
could
be
easily
enabled,
with
a
public
records
request
very
simply
put
now
the
new
model
that
they're
developing
for
the
Watershed
initiative.
That's
not
going
to
be
available
public
request
or
not
it's
not
a
completed
product,
so
we
can't
give
that
out,
but
the
previous
model
has
plenty
of
data
in
there.
That
I
think
the
nature
conservancy
can
use.
J
L
A
So
is
that
clear
Gary
does
that?
Does
that
help
us
achieve
what
you're
suggesting,
because
what
you
suggested
you
know
using
that
for
the
the
abandoned
gravel
pits
that
does
sound
sound
good.
You
know
making
that
connection
utilizing
that
resource.
But
do
we
have
to
do
anything
formal
here
in
order
to
achieve
that
Mr,
commissioner
sheets.
M
L
L
L
I
still
want
to
miss
an
opportunity
to
create
something
that
could
be
helpful
down
the
road,
especially
something
didn't,
cost
us
anything,
and
we
could
show
the
public
hey
at
least
we're
producing
something
that
that
you
know
is.
You
can
look
and
touch
and
feel
and
see
it
so
anyway.
Thank
you
all
I
appreciate
it.
