A
D
We're
doing
finally
well
rotation,
we're
cutting
it
right
now.
You
know
we.
We
have
to
stay
on
the
road,
because
it's
too
wet
to
get
offroad
and
cut
the
bank,
the
buy
banks
and
everything,
but
other
than
that.
You
know
we're
doing
pretty
good
as
far
as
staying
on
top
of
the
roads,
the
spraying
helps,
if
it
don't
rain.
You
know.
A
D
B
A
B
A
D
D
A
A
D
D
D
A
A
He's
a
real
good
operator,
he
made
it
look
real
good
and
see
him
as
though
I
went
back
there
a
couple
of
days
ago.
It
looks
good.
The
water
is
draining
pretty
good,
only
veins
in
the
back,
also
on
st
patrick
and
near
the
little
ditch
on
st
patrick
did
a
super
job
on
that
one
too
y'all
did
a
good
job.
B
D
B
B
B
D
D
C
I
think
we're
pretty
close
to
them
finishing
their
their
analysis
of
what
dean
thomas
has
put
in
and
I'm
hoping
we
can
get
that
thing
started
before
the
end
of
the
year,
the
stuff
that
dpw
is
doing
in
that
area
on
some
of
the
main
ditches
where
that
water
discharges
out
they've
done
a
real
good
job
in
opening
that
up.
So
once
we
get
to
this
project
and
increase
the
culverts
in
that
area,
I
think
that'll
handle
all
any
any
flooding
that
that
may
happen
in
that
area.
C
So
we've
had
some,
but
this
should
this
should
put
a
stop
to
it,
so
that
project
is
not
not
not
far
down
the
road
to
happening
the
body
of
the
fuchsia
wet,
well
project.
I
think
the
president
signed
off
on
the
cea
with
ocd
and
I
think,
there's
another
document
between
ascension
parish
and
and
body
of
the
food
fresh
water
district.
That
needs
to
happen
and
and
then
that
project
may
get
started.
B
B
C
C
And
I
I
think
that's
right
around
the
corner
being
resolved
too,
so
so
those
those
two
projects
are
well
in
the
room
of
being
resolved,
so
we
can
push
them
forward
to
try
to
get
those
projects
started
on
b
by
your
napoleon
project.
That's
the
food's
based
on
levity
board.
That's
been
working
on
that
project
for
quite
some
time
right.
They
got
about
a
hundred
yards
left
to
do.
I
went
ride
out
there
a
week
before
last
and
just
visited
that
area
they're
doing
a
fantastic
job.
C
C
C
So
and
as
soon
as
you
know,
that's
that
project,
joel
and-
and
I
think
albert
might
have
went
on
that
one
also
so
as
soon
as
they
finish
that
other
100
yards,
I
think
they'll
do
a
public
announcement
of
that
and
have
you
guys
go
back
out
there
and
view
that
project
and
see
exactly
what
they
accomplished
over?
There
really
did
a
fantastic
job
on
that
project.
E
C
C
B
B
C
B
C
B
C
B
C
Project
yeah
we're
good
in
the
actual
budget
yeah,
so
we
yeah
we,
we
got
some
funds
that
we
can.
You
know
we
need.
We
need
you
guys
to
prove
it,
and-
and
I
didn't
put
a
specific
amount
on
here,
so
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
to
increase
this
to
a
50
50
000,
because
I
need
some
funds
to
continue
to
work
on
the
louisiana
watershed
initiative
with
mckim
and
creed
too
I'll
make
a
motion
to
increase
it
to
50
000.
E
Good
evening,
so
this
is
the
dotd
statewide
flood
control
program.
It
happens
every
year
and
they
use
surplus
state
funds
to
fund
selective
flooding
problems
throughout
the
state.
I
think
the
budget
this
year
is
around
25
million
throughout
the
whole
state
to
spend
towards
flood
protection
projects.
We
did
submit
three
projects
this
one
which
is
going
to
be
by
you.
Mccall
was
selected
just
because
we
didn't
have
enough
proof
of
existing
problem
for
the
other
two
projects.
E
We
had
to
have
documentation
to
prove
that
there
is
an
existing
flood
problem
which
the
parish
just
didn't
have
record
of,
mostly
because
we're
on
the
west
bank,
not
a
lot
of
people
have
flood
insurance,
so
they
don't
really
necessarily
report
when
they
flood
so
david's,
going
to
be
working
with
the
public
to
assist
us
to
try
and
get
as
many
people
to
come
forward
as
possible.
So
we
can
up
our
numbers
on
existing
problem
for
bayou
mccall,
and
it's
due
october
1st.
E
I
can't
answer
that,
but
I
have
had
discussions
with
dotd
and
the
people
who
are
responsible
for
the
program
and
they
are
excited
for
this
project,
but
that's
pretty
much
all
I've
gotten
about
it.
So
I
I
can't
answer
that
question.
I
don't
know
how
many
applicants
there
are,
but
it's
two
and
a
half
million
of
potentially
25
million
dollars
in
funding.
So.
A
A
G
I
got
an
issue
with
with
some
flooding
causing
damage
to
my
house
in
modest
there
at
7449,
highway
405
and
I
had
been
in
communication
with
mr
wire
and
miss
miss
regina
and
the
state,
and
they
came
out
and
addressed
the
issue.
But
what
they've
done?
They
don't
dug
a
portion
of
the
ditch
and
it
didn't
do.
No,
it
didn't
do
no
good
because
it
there's
no
way
for
the
water
to
get
out.
C
C
Well,
here's
the
problem,
joel
is
that
I
went
out
there
with
dotd
and
we
we
looked
at
it.
You
know
because
they
he's
been
calling
them
several
times,
so
they
contacted
me
and
I
went
out
there
and
look
at
it
and
the
outfall
ditch
is
so
far
away
from
where
he's
at,
in
both
directions
and
and
on
the
south
side
of
him,
the
the
alpha
ditch
out.
There
is
in
bad
shape
also,
but
it
has
nowhere
to
go
so
I
I
got
in
touch.
B
C
F
C
Well,
looking
at
it,
you
know,
I,
I
brought
one
of
the
guys
that
come
over
here
and
look
at
our
ditches
whenever
they
have
a
job
or
I
brought
him
out
there
and
we
walked
that
whole
thing
down,
and
you
know
we
talked
about
reversing
that
ditching,
where
it
goes
out
into
the
fields.
It
has
a
way
to
go,
but
there's
more
slope
towards
the
highway,
but
it
doesn't
have
anywhere
to
go
from
there.
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
ride,
man
be
glad.
C
D
Okay,
pretty
much
gave
y'all
what
we
was
doing
and
everything
the
grass
cutters
are
cutting
where
we
just
finished.
We
just
left
brulee
mccall
heading
north
toward
the
parish
line,
and
after
that
we
go
on
the
moodies
and
we're
cutting
everything
we
can
cut
in
the
area
but,
like
I
said,
wet
so
it's
kind
of
hard
to
cut
the
off-road
drainage
ditches.
We
have
to
wait
till
they
dry
up
some
more
during
drainage.
D
We
have
completed
digging
the
irish
canal
from
the
loop
to
back
of
vatican,
we're
currently
digging
out
the
hot
spots
on
the
other
side
of
the
canal
and
we're
still
digging
on
evangeline
drive
and
completed
jewels
drive.
And
then
I
gave
y'all
a
report
on
the
tires,
and
so
that's
basically
all
we
have.
D
A
Had
a
map
drew
out
on
what
projects
that
we'll
be
going
to
next
moving
forward
into
the
next
phase
of
of
our
digging
that
we're
doing
with
evangelion
and
saint
patrick
and
some
other
ditches
that
we
have
the
pedigree
ditch
going
toward
the
back
back
end
of
it.
We
need
to
get
a
a
layout
so
to
speak
on.
What's
next,
what
we're
looking
at
doing
going
forward.
