I
want

presentations,
5A
certificates

for
the
Dutchtown,
High,
School,
gymnastics
team
or
state
champs
and
Mr
Lawler

Ask
you
to
please
do
the
honor
yeah?
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
podium
and
use
it
that
might.
D
Okay,
first
of
all,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
coming
tonight.
We
don't
have
many
gymnasts
here
tonight,
but
that's
that's
for
a
good
reason.
We
have
several
of
our
gymnasts
are
taking
AP
testing,
which
is
an
honor
in
and
of
itself,
which
is
you
know,
excellent
academics,
which
is
conducive
to
everybody
at
Dutchtown
right
now.
So
that's
really
fantastic.
Several
of
them
are
also
involved
in
cheer
and
they're
practicing
tonight.
D
E
Thank
you
so
much
for
recognizing
these,
ladies
and
the
rest
of
their
teammates.
It's
been
a
stellar
season.
Last
season
we
were
the
state
runner-up
by
.10,
with
over
230
points
scored.
So
we
had
a
goal
this
year
and
they
practiced
and
they
did
whatever
we
needed
to
do
to
attain
that
gold
and
they've
been
an
incredible
group.
They
helped
lead
each
other.
They
lead
the
team.
E
A
lot
of
it
is:
we've
had
gymnasts
that
have
been
trained
for
years
and
at
some
point,
they've,
usually
given
up
the
sport
and
then
coming
to
high
school,
and
they
get
to
do
what
they
love
again
and
the
parents
get
to
see
them
compete
again,
and
it's
a
lot
of
times
that
you
miss.
You
know
the
joy
of
gymnastics
without
as
much
time
as
you
have
to
put
to
do
competitive
gymnasts.
You
know
gymnastics
at
a
higher
level,
so
we
really
appreciate
it.
E
B
I'd
love
to
congratulate
the
young
men's
for
the
national
championship
run
up
last
meeting
we
had,
they
didn't
get
a
certificate
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
each
of
them
get
their
certificate.
So
we
are
very
proud
of
what
they
accomplished
throughout
the
year.
I
want
to
thank
the
coach
coach
Jupiter.
Thank
our
parents.
That's
he
also
and
again,
thank
you
all
for
bringing
them
out
the
kids.
That's
not
here
tonight,
I
think
most
of
them
are
in
AAA
ball
or
are
they
playing
the
some
type
of
some
type
of
sports
they're?
F
I'm
very
proud
of
the
guys.
You
know
they
they
work
hard.
We
work
real
hard.
This
year
last
year
came
out
second
in
regionals,
so
this
year
we
got
to
go
winning
regionals
and
it
was
a
hard
fight
fight,
but
we
pulled
it
off
Nationals
we
played
good.
We
just
gave
up
not
gave
up,
we
lost
at
the
end,
I
heard
a
feeling.
Coach
was
hurt,
but
you
know
we
got
goals,
he
set
goals,
we
set
goals
so
next
year
we
looking
to
win
it
all
okay.
F
F
Tyrone
and
Tyrone
Richard,
III,
Richard,
sorry,
Tyler,
Richard,
III,
Carson,
Finley
and
Courtney
Landry,
Jr
and
I
did
that
too
I
had
two
assistant
coaches.
They
had
one
had
to
work,
the
other
one
had
something
that
was
going
on,
so
they
couldn't
make
it
today.
Neither
and
I
thank
them
guys
for
helping
me.
They
did
a
lot
this
year
too,
with
the
kids.
D
D
B
G
Good
evening,
Council
and
chair,
with
your
permission,
we'd
like
to
kind
of
keep
it
short
due
to
some
scheduled
conflicts.
We
have
no
one
here
to
accept
this
Proclamation,
so
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
do
the
proclamation,
the
short
version
and
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
have
the
official
have
some
people
come
in
for
the
next
meeting
and
kind
of
take
some
pictures
and
and
let
them
speak
on
mental
health.
So
so
we'll
just
do
the
real
quick.
Now,
therefore,
I
click.
What
my
Proclaim
May
2023rd
is
the
mental
health
awareness
month.
G
A
G
All
right,
first
I'd
like
to
start
off
with
an
update
of
our
annual
trash
bash
that
was
held
at
the
end
of
the
love
the
boot
week
at
four
locations
throughout
the
parish.
We
had
a
total
of
134
volunteers.
We
collected
114
bags,
which
is
over
2
000
pounds
of
trash,
and
we
covered
3.65
miles.
We
also
refurbished
four
Gardens
in
the
areas
of
Veterans
Park.
G
We
want
to
thank
everyone
who
came
out
to
help
us
and
we
look
forward
to
next
year's
event,
and
let
me
in
my
report,
by
wishing
all
of
our
graduates
at
all
levels,
a
huge
congratulations
on
their
upcoming
graduations
and
events
and
future
success
for
all
of
them.
That
concludes
my
report.
Chair.
Thank
you.
B
I,
just
I'd
like
to
thank
the
group
that
we
have
at
DPW
dpws
for
the
trash
bash
that
came
out
and
picked.
They
did
a
super
job,
also
combining
joining
hands
with
the
city
of
Donaldsonville.
Also,
we
did
a
tremendous
job
and
it
went
real
well,
so
thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
have
it
and
we
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.

I
Yeah,
obviously,
I
don't
have
anything
against
repairing
the
roof
of
the
Ark,
but
I
would
like
to
consider
looking
at
putting
a
metal
roof
on
there
with
the
pitch
of
that
roof
and
where
it
is
in
the
government,
complex
I
think
it
could
look
a
lot
better
and
the
pricing
wouldn't
be
that
bad,
considering
the
installation
with
standing
same
metal
would
be
less
intense,
so
I'm
not
saying
don't
accept
this,
but
maybe
get
a
price
on
it.
Do
it
also.
I
I
J
A
K
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
at
the
Ascension
Parish
Council
does
hereby
authorized
amendment
of
section
16-1
4L
attached,
as
exhibit
a
proposed
by
the
human
resources
department
and
submitted
by
the
parish
president
to
the
Juneteenth
June
19th.
As
a
recurring
Parish
holiday
and
additional
language
required
for
classification
purposes,
effective
date,
dish,
ownership
being
full
effect,
is
permitted
by
law.
This
artist
hasn't
been
submitted
by
both
their
own
ones
as
follows:.
C
L
D
No
limit
that
I'm
aware
of
no
I
know
but
I'm.
Sorry,
we
get
holidays
almost
three
three
in
addition
to
having
yeah
except
so
almost
15
days.
My
concern
is
that
if
we
just
keep
adding
this,
you
know
there
are
other
holidays
that
other
people
may
want
for
this.
But
we,
you
know
a
lot
of
private
companies.
Don't
also
give
New
Year's
Eve
off
getting
New
Year's
Day
off,
not
New,
Year's
Eve.
G
This
this
was
more
in
relationship
to
all
the
government
agencies
having
Juneteenth
off.
This
is
a
big
big
holiday
over
the
West
Bank
year,
and
so
this
was
just
to
fall
in
Conformity
with
everybody
else,
and
so
that's
that's.
Why
we're
adding
it
just
to
fall
in
in
line
with
everybody
else,
because
they're
all
giving
all
their
all
the
other
government
entities
are
shutting
down
except
us.
So
this
would
just
follow
us
in
place
with
everybody
else.
D
L
We
don't,
but
I
will
tell
you
this,
that
it
is
a
powerful
recruitment
tool
for
us,
because
oftentimes
we
are
not
able
to
pay
some
some
positions
as
Industries,
so
our
benefits
package
to
include
14
paid
holidays
is
is,
is
quite
an
offer
and
we
actually
leverage
that
when
we're
making
those
job
offers
and
we're
unable
to
match
their
current
pay,
you
know
to
say
that
right
off
the
bat
you
have
14
paid
holidays
is
significant
and
you're
right
about
that.
But
it
is
something
that
is
a
part
of
our
benefits
package
and
it
works.
A
So
I
believe
I
figured
who
had
more
Motion
in
a
second
I'm
sorry
Mr
Mason
had
the
motion.
Mr
Turner
wait
a
second
any
objection
hearing,
none
so
move
item
11a
executive
session,
HR,
Solutions,
first
quarter,
review
motion
to
enter
executive
session
by
Mr
Mason,
a
second
by
Mr,
cagnellotti
and
I-
do
want
to
clarify
so
as
far
as
our
procedure
to
enter
executive
session.
