However,

So

D
I
D
K
A
J
Yes,
so
I'll
take
up
the
questions
that
I've
had
in
the
past.
The
you
know
this
innovation
drive
and
the
extension
of
it
is
the
first
phase
of
it
is
the
part
that
we
bond
and
have
a
good
partnership
with
the
automobile
dealership.
There
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
there's
a
second
part
of
this,
that
we
are
budgeting.
J
A
16
million
dollar
roadway
to
connect
this
first
phase
across
a
lengthy
piece
of
land
to
the
end
of
green
acres,
Boulevard
and
showed
a
lane,
and
so
the
ordinance
here
I've
had
I
haven't,
got
to
the
point
where
I
checked
to
the
roadway.
What
I
object
to
is
the
process
that
were
that
we're
going
about
doing
it
in,
and
so
what
I'll
say
is
that
this
ordinance,
as
it
reads
one
today
as
as
things
are,
will
we
would
be
then
designing
the
roadway
that
would
be
in
the
parish
and
not
in
the
city.
J
J
All
in
this
Basin
and
and
I
do
know
that
the
development
in
this
Basin
has
been
has
taken
place
with
the
with
the
with
the
relying
on
the
the
floodplain
area,
a
lot
of
this,
of
which
this
is
in
being
a
buffer
to
the
to
the
inundation
of
houses
and
businesses
all
in
this
area.
So
to
that
end,
I
went
to
the
trouble
of
putting
together
a
fact
sheet
because
I
wanted
anyone
that
wanted
to
take
exception
to
these
facts.
J
If
they
weren't
fact
so
have
it
and
then
and
then
the
second
thing
I
did
is
I
met
with
our
city
engineer
and
and
so
to
be
very
fair
about
it.
You
know
in
that
meeting
he
expressed
to
me
that
that
he
felt
like
that
it
was
they
could,
they
could
do
a
study
and
they
could
at
the
same
time
we
could
go
ahead
and
just
just
say:
well,
let's
proceed
with
this,
and
and
and
on
that
I
respectfully,
disagree
and.
J
And
only
to
that
end,
I
think
he
is.
He
is
the
Primo
engineer
knows
exactly
what
he's
doing
I.
Don't
think
this
is
engineering
I
think
this.
A
lot
of
this
is
getting
first
things
first
and
and
and
not
approving
something
that
may,
in
fact,
after
after
a
study
is
produced,
be
something
completely
different.
J
J
Maintain
that
position
and
I
want
to
reinforce
this
number
one
I
think
what
we're
doing
with
the
automobile
dealership
and
the
first
phase
of
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense
I'm
in
total
support
of
it
and
I'm
glad
that
we
brought
it
into
the
city
limits.
Did
that
right
and
I
just
believe
that
that
this
part
here
does
not
make
sense,
and
so
perhaps
there'll
be
some
discussion
on
it,
but
but
it
would
be.
J
B
D
E
A
Before
we
proceed
that
there
is
another
side
of
this
story,
I
was
in
the
meeting
and
I
spoken
with
mr.
Larkin
for
several
hours
on
you
know
in
cumulative
time,
and
I'll
certainly
get
mr.
Hudson
if
he
would
like
to
join
in
on
this
conversation
at
the
podium,
please,
the
the
whole
purpose
into
the
point.
J
A
What
we're
doing
is
we're
going
to
do
this
study
so
that
we
can
determine
the
best
route
to
go
through
the
the
property
correct
threat
and
the
environmental
study
will
be
done.
Mr.
Larkins
recommended,
through
the
levy
board
that
another
engineer
work
in
conjunction
with
our
engineer,
ralien
associates.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
and
can
you
explain
what
that
process
is
for.
M
M
Our
engineers
raylene
associates
were
going
to
provide
some
study
and
it
makes
sense
that
these
two
engineers
work
together
and
I
know
that
they've
had
a
conversation
amongst
themselves
and
they're
looking
forward
to
working
together
and
any
design
process
will
involve
a
study
and
evaluation
of
exactly
what
needs
to
be
designed
before
they
haul
off
and
start
designing
things.
So,
first.
A
We'll
answer
the
question
first
and
foremost
of
mr.
Larkins
concern
as
to
the
feasibility
from
a
flooding
standpoint.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
so
we
will
know
20%
25%
through
this
process,
whether
the
road
is
actually
feasible
or
not
from
causing
additional
flooding
and,
as
he
pointed
out,
race
actually
raised
in
the
floodplain
potentially
which
we
would
never
do
nor
want
to
do,
but
we
have
to
go
through
this
product.
A
A
So
we
have
to
go
through
this
process
to
get
an
answer
to
yes,
so
that
mr.
Larkins
concerns
yes,
our
answer
and
that's
what
I
want
the
council
to
understand
that
tabling
this
is
it's
doing
nothing.
We
we're
going
through
the
process
that
you
have
to
go
through
to
get
the
answer
to
the
question:
is
it
a
feasible,
Road
or
not
and
correct
me
if.
A
In
that
process,
if
it's
deemed-
and
this
is
a
conversation
we
had
upstairs-
if
it's
deemed-
that
it's
not
feasible
and
there'll-
be
a
negative
effect
and
impact
on
the
binoy
basin
in
all
of
the
houses
that
we
will
not
proceed.
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct
and
we
would
have
only
spent
the
money
necessary
to
reach
that
point
to
get
the
answer
to
our
question.
That's
correct.
E
A
E
You
just
said:
we've
got
to
go
through
this
process
and
get
graylien
Societas
to
do
this
environments
they're
going
to
do
it
that
let's
talk
about
last
week,
it
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
nobody
say
anything
about
it,
though
I'm
just
saying
you
know
it's
like
pulling
teeth
sometime
to
get
all
the
answers
that
you've
been
asking
for.
That's
all
I'm
saying
please.
A
Because
the
question
one
brought
up
told
mr.
Larkin
brought
it
up
in
the
office
about
an
hour
ago.
I
did
not
know
all
of
his
specific
questions.
He
laid
out
everything
in
his
concerns
and
we
went
through
all
those
all
I'm
trying
to
do
is
present
the
other
side
of
that.
From
my
perspective
that
we're
trying
to
ensure
and
do
everything
that
we're
supposed
to
do
to
get
the
questions
answered
before
we
perceive
what's.
J
The
only
proposition
that
Mark
had
prior
to
this
was
to
do
what
they
call
a
no
rise
study
and,
and
that
you
know
there
are
lots
of
studies
in
the
world.
But
that
doesn't
happen
to
be
something
that
would
be
appropriate
or
excuse
me
that
that
doesn't
that
doesn't
tell
you
whether
or
not
you
should
build
a
16
million
dollar
road
across
a
piece
of
land.
N
A
J
That
would
be
inappropriate
to
allocate
for
the
the
thing
that
we
first
need
to
know
here
is
is
one:
what
kind
of
a
road
should
be
there
where
it
should
go
and
what
are
the
obstacles
and
and
and
since
we're
building
it
into
parish?
What
what
standards
will
we
build
it?
By?
Will
we
build
it
by
the
parish
standard?
Let.
A
A
Regarding
this,
as
well
as
Mr
Hudson,
you
have
to
design
the
road
or
know
where
the
roads
going
to
go
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
in
a
negotiation
process
and
sit
down,
then
with
the
landowners
and
say,
look
before
we
proceed
with
this
road
and
spend
the
money.
These
are
the
things
that
we're
gonna
have
all
of
the
property
is
going
to
be
annexed,
you're
going
to
give
us
the
right
away
and
so
forth.
That's
that,
how
do
we
get
a
negotiation
in
process?
We
don't
even
know
where
the
roads
gonna
go.
A
G
I
L
The
city
so
somebody's
got
to
identify
the
the
dimensions
of
the
road
they've
got
to
donate,
that
to
the
city,
for
the
purposes
of
that,
and
they've
also
got
agreed
upon
the
city
agreeing
to
build
it
that
they'll
annex
the
remainder
of
the
property
into
the
city
I
mean
that
it's
that
way,
when
we
get
into
a
commercial
film
it's
the
way
it
happened
on
sterling.
Its
way
it
happened
on
Kroger
I
mean
you've
got
to
get
an
identification
of
the
locations
of
who's,
gonna
donate
what
who's
gonna
build.
L
What,
but
at
this
point
you
don't
even
know
if
the
road
a
can't
go
in
a
certain
location,
or
maybe
it
can,
but
it's
got
to
be
turned
a
certain
way.
So
there
is,
you
know,
there's
wetlands
through
there,
so
there's
there's
beneficial
ways
to
take
it
through
there.
So
we
won't
be
able
to
identify
that
until
they
complete
the
analysis
of
the
a
whether
it
can
go
there,
whether
it
impacts,
drainage
or
anywhere,
it
will
go
to
be
the
most
efficient
and
in.
A
Discussions
and
debates
with
mr.
Larkin
regarding
this
road
I
have
pointed
out
countless
times
that
we're
doing
it
because
that's
what
we
do.
We
build
roads
to
generate
more
sales
tax
and
create
more
business.
Well,
if
we
never
had
the
intention
of
this
being
in
the
city
limits,
why
in
the
world
would
I
make
this
statement
that
it
would
benefit
the
city
through
sales
tax,
so
it
always
has
been
absolute
that
that
would
be
in
the
city
limits,
because
that's
how
we
get
our
money
back
so
I'm
trying
to
explain.
A
You
know
where
I'm
coming
from
the
benefit
of
the
road-
and
this
is
what
Bossier
City
does
I
mean.
That's
how
we
exist.
We
have
to
grow
the
revenue
stream
and
Stacey
certainly
has
been
around
here
long
enough
by
at
least
close
to
a
million
dollars
a
year
to
cover,
raises
and
potential
healthcare
cost,
and
you
know
that
councilman
Williams
I
mean
you've
worked
with
me
on
the
budget
for
16
years.
We've
got
to
constantly
be
innovative
in
thinking
of
what
of
ways.
How
do
we
bring
more
business
here?
A
Am
I
leaving
something
out
on
the
factsheet
I,
don't
think
so?
Okay,
one
other
thing
I'd
like
to
bring
Chiefs
are
going
up
and,
of
course,
we've
discussed
the
economic
benefit,
we're
addressing
the
issues.
I
think
that
mr.
Larkin
is
raised
both
here
at
the
meeting
and
the
previous
meeting,
but
one
of
the
biggest
assets
to
this
road
as
well.
That
I
think
everybody
needs
to
understand
is
human
life
in
chief,
if
you
could
help
us
out
on
that,
I
greatly
appreciate
it.
I
think.
O
Sitting
there
waiting
to
get
there
with
every
day
through
that
intersection
right
now,
giving
us
different
options
as
to
avoiding
that
area
would
be
huge
for
us
taking
a
run
to
Stonebridge
or
Tiburon
on
a
structure.
Fire
I
can
get
a
ladder
truck
from
engine
9
cutting
through
that
road.
You
are
talking
about
versus
waiting
on
engine,
seven
that
come
from
Stockwell
up
to
20
trauma
5,
responding
north
of
220.
My
response
time
would
be
cut
down
by
probably
10
minutes
not
having
to
fight
that
intersection
at
220
and
air
line
and
being
Boulevard.
O
But
the
main
thing
is
every
time
we
transport
majority
of
our
patients
go
to
Willis
time
Bossier.
So
an
alternate
route
as
to
coming
through
that
intersection
anywhere
east
of
town
would
probably
respond
up.
Swan
Lake
cut
through
right
there
and
then
come
back
south
on
airline
to
take
a
right
on
beam
Boulevard
depending
on
the
time
of
day,
and
it
just
gives
you
different
options
in
us
different
response
routes.
I
think
he
would
say
the
same
thing
if
he
has
a
police,
car
and
Brownlee
and
needs
it.
C
O
Plantation
we
to
avoid
that
traffic
in
that
area
we're
engine
3.
We
can
take
it
right
now
and
be
right
on
biking
driving
right
up
in
that
area
and
avoid
the
congestion
that
we
get
in
that
area
and
with
that
road.
How
much
relief
would
that
give
that
congestion
of
that
area?
I
think
you
have
to
take
into
account
of
all
that,
but
I
think.
As
far
as
Public
Safety
goes,
we
would
be
a
huge
advocate
of
having
a
road
that
gave
us
a
different
option
to
avoid
that
area.
F
Not
necessarily
much
I
can
add
to
what
chief
Jones
there's
other
than
I
can
concur
with
it,
but
it
it
does
give
us
other
haven't
used
to
respond
to
emergency
situations.
As
I
said,
those
intersections
are
up
around
220
or
a
whole
brigade
through
their
dangers
to
get
through.
You
know,
I've
weighed
through
the
bike
to
get
there
would
be
very
beneficial,
I.
Think.
O
O
A
J
The
count
yes
so
so
in
just
in
summary,
what
makes
a
lot
of
sense
I
think
to
everyone
is
that
connecting
airline
drive
and
Swan
Lake
Road,
with
a
reliable
roadway
that
you
can
operate
and
connect
up
with
emergency
vehicles
and
that
we
can
use
when
when
emergencies
occur,
it
is
a
is
a
great
idea
to
whatever
end
this
would
serve
that
purpose.
This
is
a
good
idea.
E
A
F
E
A
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
councilman
Larkins,
that
what
you're
gonna
say
actually
made
a
motion
to
the
table
and
I
want
to
remind
the
council
that
if
it
was
truly
intended
just
to
examine
it
for
two
more
weeks
or
whatever
you
would
want
to
say,
the
motion
to
continue
table
gives
him.
The
authority
he's
the
only
one
that
can
bring
it
back
for
a
vote.
So
I.
A
E
J
J
C
J
Ahead:
here's
here's
again,
not
the
lack
of
clarity.
Here's
the
thing
that
I
object
to
and
I
cannot
believe
that
we
could.
We
could
create
an
ordinance
that
makes
more
sense
than
this
one,
but
just
to
speak
to
a
couple
of
things.
The
the
I
know
of
no
better
example
of
what
I'm
talking
about
here
than
just
what
those
two
gentlemen
spoke
about:
the
emergency
quality
of
the
roadway
and
so
right
now.
J
The
roadway
that
is
proposed
right
here
goes
across
between
Swan
Lake
Road
and
air
line
drive
through
a
wetlands
and
through
a
lowlands
and
a
floodplain
areas
of
that
are
again.
I
want
to
be
very
don't
try
to
say,
facts
and
not
exaggerate,
but
I
think
it
is
approximately
four
feet
lower
than
the
flood
in
that
area.
J
A
J
So
so,
if
you're
going
to
do
that
correctly,
that's
not
what
Mark
is
is
proposing
to
design
here,
but
we
certainly
could
evaluate
whether
or
not
that
makes
sense.
We
also
might
evaluate
that
the
cost
of
the
roadway
in
the
end,
the
alignment
that
we're
proposing
to
do
here
doesn't
make
sense.
It
doesn't
make
economic
sense
if
that
needs
to
be
evaluated.
J
The
we've
all
talked
of
things
that
we
speculate
and
we
think
are
good
ideas,
but
we
have
not
evaluated
this.
The
same
study
would
at
least
determine
if
the
landowners
under
what
conditions
the
landowners
will
bring
the
roadway
in
they
they
may
want
to
charge
for
the
land
they
may
want
to
do
some
kind
of
an
exchange
with
the
city
they
they
may
not
want
to
bring
all
of
their
land
into
the
city
and
and
I
I.
J
Don't
particularly
agree
that
you
design
a
roadway,
you
design
a
roadway
and
then
after
you've
designed
the
roadway,
and
you
know
where
it's
going
to
go.
Then
you
go
to
the
landowner.
You
say
at
that
time.
Can
we
put
the
roadway
in
there
that
that
that
is
not
a
sensible
process
to
be,
and
so
that
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
makes
sense
to
me.
Go
to
the
landowner.
You
said:
look,
we've
got
a
proposition
here
and
we'll
you.
If
we
do
this,
will
you
do
that
in
and
that
is
established?
J
So
when
we
decide
to
spend
the
money
here
to
design
the
roadway,
we
know
that
we're
agreeing
to
design
a
roadway-
and
we
know
the
ramifications
of
of
what
we're
doing,
and
this
doesn't
do
that
and
it,
and
so
it's
so
so.
I
only
look
at
it
as
being
unclear
and
premature
and
incomplete,
and
but
I
do
not
object
to
the
goals
that
are
that
are
espoused
here.
But
I
do
believe.
I
know
enough
about
that.
J
A
Out
and
I
don't
mean
to
put
you
I'm,
not
trying
to
put
you
in
but
I
I,
don't
know
enough
about
engineering.
You
know,
I
was
a
certified
public
accounting,
so
I
have
to
rely
on
you.
Our
engineer
to
tell
me,
are
we
going
about
this
in
the
right
process
and
have
we
taken
the
due
diligence
in
the
right
amount
of
time.
M
We're
gonna
have
to
venture
some
money
and
spend
some
money
to
do
these
studies
to
learn.
What's
what
and
this
ordinance
will
initiate
that
process
and
with
the
addition
of
Kirk
Nixon
his
expertise
being
involved,
it's
that's
a
good
thing.
So
if
this
ordinance
sort
of
passed
a
day
we
this
will
set
us
on
the
road
to
getting
the
answers
to
these
good
concerns.
That
tim
has
write.
C
M
A
Mr.
Hall,
which
is
something
in
Pam
Jimmy's,
going
to
help
a
state
right,
they
they're
involved
in
that
negotiation
process
and
I
know
that
I
differ
but
I'm
trying
to
mate.
Let
everyone
see
the
other
side
of
this
that
we
are
going
about
it
the
proper
way,
and
it's
all
open
and
clear
and
we're.
We
have
the
utmost
concern
for
any
type
of
potential
additional
flooding.
A
A
N
We
need
to
rewrite
the
the
ordinance
to
state
what
that
money's
gonna
be
used
for.
Are
you
doing,
is
appropriating
funds
and
saying
we're
going
to
eat.
It
says
we're
gonna
use
it
this
way,
but
we
can
actually
use
it
this
way,
don't
we
need
to
say
this
is
how
we're
going
to
use
up
those
funds
they
shouldn't
be
used
to
design
the
road.
They
should
be
used
to
do
a
feasibility
study
on
the
flooding
I'm.
All
for
the
road
you
can.
N
A
Saying
that
he
went
over
that
contract
up
when
we
were
having
the
meeting
and
I
wanted
you
to
see
that
he
has
the
ability.
Is
that
correct
to
do
all
of
these?
Various
studies
I
think
we're
getting
caught
up
in
semantics
here
and
we
need
to
understand
the
goal
is
to
start.
We
have
the
contract
in
place.
We
we
certainly
want
him
to
have
the
authority
to
do
what
he
thinks
is
necessary.
A
A
N
J
M
A
Want
to
say,
but
my
position
is
my
city
engineers
telling
me
that
he
has
the
tools
to
go
forward
and
and
do
what
he
has
to
do
to
make
sure
that
this
roadway
is
feasible
and
it's
put
in
the
right
place.
Is
that
correct
and
at
any
point
during
the
contract
he
can
stop
and
say
timeout?
Is
that
the
word
you
use?
Yes,
sir?.
C
E
J
Met
with
the
levee
district,
they
issued
a
letter.
The
area
long
annoyed
by
you,
lateral
one
has
not
been
studied
for
floodway
protection
to
help
expedite
any
development
permits
along
a
channel
and
to
protect
the
major
thoroughfares
through
Bossier
City
dotd
is
requesting
a
flood
study
be
conducted
in
cooperation
with
the
parish.
The
levee
district
in
the
city,
that'll,
be
it
that'll,
be
an
expensive
study
and,
and
what
in
the
information
that
that
study
produces,
will
influence
the
practicality
of
the
proposition
that
we
have
before
us
in
this
ordinance.
J
But
if
you,
if
you
plan
a
roadway
and
you're
done
with
it
and
then
and
then
you
conduct
a
a
study
of
the
floodway
protection,
then
then
then
so
what
happens?
If
the
roadway
turns
out
to
be
the
very
thing
that
keeps
the
flood
protection
from
being
effective?
That
is.
That
is
why
you
study
you
do
a
plan,
you
get
a
budget
and
then
you
build
it
and
this.
M
M
We
were
to
build
this
street.
There's
gonna
be
a
bridge
over
binoy,
lateral
one.
It's
either
a
bridge
or
a
big
culvert.
Some
way
to
get
from
one
side
of
the
creek
to
the
other,
and
the
no
rise
study
determines
how
big
the
opening
underneath
the
bridge
needs
to
be
so
that
when
water
flows
down
this
channel,
the
bridge
doesn't
back.
The
water
up,
doesn't
block
the
water
so
much
that
it
causes
the
water
to
rise
at
all.
Okay,.
B
M
B
M
Three
landowners,
there's
the
most
out
of
family
I,
believe
there's
Haynesville,
mercantil
and
and
there's
a
third
landowner.
Stewart
Oden
I've
I've
had
emails
with
Stewart.
Oh
he's
would
like
to
see
the
road
built
and
has
indicated
that
he
is
open
minded
to
donating
the
right-of-way.
He
understands
the
benefit
of
getting
a
free
road
across
this
property.
I
know
Jimmy's
had
more
than
one
conversation
with
the
Mashhad
us
and
I've
never
had
a
conversation
with
the
Haynesville
mercantile
group
on
this
particular
project.
M
L
Just
it's
impossible
to
get
an
agreement,
because
I'm
not
gonna,
agree
to
give
you
property
unless
I
know
where
it's
gonna
be
I
can't
go
get
him.
I
mean
every
landowner.
I've
ever
talked
to
says:
I
want
to
know
what
property
you're
gonna
take
and
what
I'm
agreeing
to
give
you
before
I'm
gonna,
give
it
to
you.
I
can't
give
him
that,
because
I
say
somewhere
out
here
somewhere
we're
gonna,
maybe
touch
your
property
and
I.
Want
you
to
agree
in
an
abstract.
Just
to
give
me
your
property
and
they're
gonna
say
bring
me.
L
L
Had
an
expert
in
wetlands.
Look
at
it
and
said:
there's
some
high-grade
wetlands
that
we
have
to
cross,
and
so
there's
got
to
be
some
selectivity
on
how
the
the
crossing
of
the
of
the
area
goes.
So
bottom
line
is
to
infect
an
agreement.
We
need
at
least
some
information
to
show
what
we're
gonna
ask
him
to
done
it.
Okay,.
J
Is
that
when
we
spend
that
16
million
dollars
we're
gonna
have
all
this
land
on
either
side
of
the
road
and
in
the
area
of
that
road,
it's
gonna
produce
taxes,
and
it's
going
to
make
sense
for
us
to
spend
this
money.
Well,
then,
there
isn't
anything
to
discuss
with
the
landowner,
because
we
don't
want
them
to
just
donate
the
little
piece
of
the
road
we
want
them
to
bring
their
entire
tract
into
the
city.
So
we
can
be
sure
that
we're
going
to
get
the
money
to
pay
back
to
16
million
dollars.
J
J
J
What
makes
sense
is
for
us
to
to
fund
the
planning
and
the
decision-making
part
of
this
and
then
for
us
to
evaluate
the
the
fruits
of
that
planning
and
then
based
on
that
hire
somebody
to
carry
it
out
or
or
look
for
a
better
plan
if
it
turns
out
that
it
doesn't
make
any
sense.
We
can't
know
that
now.
P
E
B
L
Every
Georgia
Boulevard,
you
know
we
we
had
a.
We
had
a
layout
of
what
the
plat
was
going
to
look
like
where
stores
we're
gonna
go
those
types
of
things,
and
so,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
this
is
a
typical
way,
you
developed
with
anybody.
Listen,
let's
take
the
first
part
of
this
stretch.
Honda
shows
up
we'd
like
to
come.
Maybe
they
were
interested
in
coming
to
this
location?
How
to
meet
they
talk
about
it.
They
send
the
the
site
to
Honda
hunter.
Doesn't
like
it.
They
don't
know
where
it's
at
so
mr.
L
hudson
provides
information
about
traffic
counts.
The
mayor
writes
a
letter.
We
I
write
a
letter
about
prognostication
about
future
development
along
that
that
corridor
and
old,
by
the
way
hon
to
all
of
a
sudden,
starts
looking
at
it
a
little
harder.
They
then
approve,
then
without
any
agreement.
We
agree
that
they're
gonna,
annex
the
property,
then
they're
gonna
purchase
the
property
and
then
oh
by
the
way,
as
soon
as
the
annexation
and
purchase
are
complete,
we
trigger
the
the
building
of
the
road,
no
agreement.
L
We
don't
have
ten
agreements,
we
don't
have
all
this
other
stuff.
We've
gone
forward
with
phase
one,
but
all
of
a
sudden
with
Phase
two
we're
gonna
take
a
different
approach.
Different
approach,
we're
gonna
have
to
have
all
this
detail
bound
all
the
layouts
exactly
done.
I
can't
negotiate
with
with
a
person
to
enter
into
a
contract
unless
they
know
what
I'm
doing
just
like
mr.
OH,
he
wants
to
kind
of
see
how
the
road
is
gonna
go
massaged,
it
is,
it
goes
across
his
plate.
L
So
so
what
I'm
saying
is
on
this
very
Road
on
Phase
one?
We
never
had
the
first
agreement.
We
had
a
handshake.
The
handshake
was
that
that,
if
Honda's
coming,
we're
gonna
buy
the
property.
If
you
we
do
the
deal
we'll
do
phase
one
of
this,
so
we've
done
phase
one.
All
of
a
sudden.
We
got
a
different
program
with
phase
two.
C
J
They
are
on
phase
one.
We
we
evaluated
all
the
sales
that
the
Honda
dealership
would
bring.
It
was
all
very
obvious
how
that
would
pay
back.
You
could
see
that
you're
extending
a
road,
so
we
spend
a
million
bucks
on
it.
It's
very
easy
to
see
all
that
every
everyone
in
that's
involved
in
the
deal,
it's
very
easy
to
see
what
happens
when
you
spend
a
million
dollars.
They
put
a
center
there,
nothing
to
it
that
that
was
one
thing.
This
is.
J
A
A
A
We
could
sit
here
and
nitpick
this
and
then
change
it
again.
We
can
keep
continuing
it
because
there's
always
going
to
be
something
to
add
I
mean
this
is
a
is
a
moving
document.
It
there's
no
way
you
can
encompass
or
incorporate
everything
that
might
happen.
Otherwise
you
would
never
initiate
anything
and
that's
the
whole
problem
with
government.
This
is
how
government
starts
stalling
capitalism
and
democracy.
You
can
look
at
it.
You
know.
A
B
My
thought
is
that
not
only
could
he
have
added
a
word,
but
also
he
could
have
given
more
clarity
to
what
we
were
going
to
do
in
the
way
of
design
and
and
what
that
was
going
to
entail.
That's
I
think
that's
why
we're
talking
about
this,
because
at
this
panel
we
talked
about
what
you're
going
to
do
and
since
no,
why
no
one
really
knew
exactly
what
was
going
to
happen
until
today.
B
You
know,
regarding
studies,
that's
why
we
talked
about
it
and
and
that's
something
you've
done
better
today
than
you
did
last
week,
I'm
not
to
be
critic
of
you,
but
it's
more
clear
today
than
it
was
last
week
and
I
think
we
should
always
do
due
diligence
to
get
information.
That's
not
against
the
rule,
that's
not
against
the
law!
That's
the
American
Way
and
that's
what
we
should
always
do.
B
A
E
G
E
C
E
Could
either
vote
or
wait
till
we
don't
meet
next
week?
We
could
do.
E
A
A
Could
get
started
and
get
rayleigh
and
what
was
it
Curt
Nixon
yeah
that
ferb
get
the
process
started.
I,
don't
we're
not
handcuffing
ourselves
to
work?
We've
got
to
spend
16
million.
We've
got
to
spend
four
hundred
five
thousand.
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct
and
you
can
change
the
contract
and
come
back
to
the
council
as
he
sees
fit
throughout
the
process,
whatever
needs
to
be
added
or
taken
away
or
stopped
correct,
correct.
M
J
A
J
C
M
A
M
M
That's
the:
if
that's
what
gets
everybody
in
their
comfort
zone
I
mean
that's
up
to
the
City
Council
I.
Think
if
you
were
to
pass
this
today,
I'll
go
I'll
hook
up
with
Jeff
Riley
tomorrow,
I'll
tell
him
about
all
of
this
and
we
will
initiate
the
study
and
the
survey
is
required
for
us
to
make
a
smart
decision
and.
E
E
A
L
K
The
partnership
between
Bossier,
City
utility
department
and
Manchac
has
established
an
operational
rhythm.
Is
it
successfully
optimizing
operations
and
meeting
and
exceeding
savings
targets?
You'll
see
that
here
just
a
moment,
so
the
main
objective
was
to
look
primarily
at
the
past
operating
budgets
and
in
the
course
there
and
and
really
inject
a
primarily
primary
focus
in
the
operational
savings
to
the
department.
K
So
you
can
see
here
the
various
divisions
within
the
department,
all
of
which
show
significant
savings
over
prior
years.
Actually,
that's
that's
the
total
amount
of
savings
since
we
started
so
nine
months
since
we've
started
in
July
from
July
through
March,
the
negatives
you
see
in
water
administration
and
Sewer
administration,
there's
an
uptick
there
to
cover
the
Manchac
contract.
So
to
date,
we're
looking
at
1.6
million
and
some
change
just
in
operating
savings.
K
K
What
we've
done
is
figured
in
approximately
15%
savings
related
to
that
bid
process
and,
of
course,
we've
performed
all
of
the
engineering
associated
with
those
four
total
savings
of
two
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
roughly,
for
that,
we
also
have
coined
or
put
together
of
a
list
of
items
that
we're
calling
cost
avoidance.
These
are
things
that
we
have
done
internally
to
prevent
the
city
from
paying
significant
out-of-pocket
expenses.
K
If
you
look
at
where
we
had
projected
just
in
the
operating
budget,
we
had
target
monthly
operational
savings
in
the
in
2017.
We
were
targeting
175,000
dollars
in
savings
month-to-month
and
we're
actually
beating
that
we're
almost
at
180
thousand
dollars
a
month
in
savings
and
if
you
lump
in
the
emergency
savings
and
the
cost
avoidance
savings
you're,
looking
at
almost
two
hundred
eighty
thousand
dollars
a
month,
okay
in
savings,
as
we
progressed
throughout
the
last
nine
months.
K
The
rest
of
this
presentation
is
primarily
just
some
basic
statistics
within
each
division
that
we
currently
manage.
So
in
the
administration
division.
You
know
just
to
give
you
a
quick
overview.
We
conduct
staff
meetings
weekly,
we
review
the
department
and
division
budget
monthly,
we've
developed
records,
inventory
and
retrieval
systems.
K
We
do
a
weekly
action
item
list
and
we
review
that
every
week
to
make
sure
that
all
the
divisions
are
meeting
their
goals.
We
also
conduct
weekly
safety
meetings.
You
can
see
in
that
picture
it's
a
couple
of
city
of
bossier
city
employees
with
the
hard
hats
and
their
safety
vests
on
ladder
in
the
hole.
That's
that's
good
water
treatment
plant
division,
one
of
the
main
things
just
you
guys
are
familiar
with
here.
As
of
late
as
the
chlorine
cleanse.
K
We
will
begin
our
post
flushing
on
that
this
week
and
and
put
that
particular
project
to
bed
towards
the
end
of
next
week.
We're
also
currently
revising
the
risk
management
plan
for
the
water
plant.
We
completed
the
annual
DHH
audit
with
no
findings
and
we
continue
to
implement
ongoing
capital
improvement
plans.
That's
a
picture
of
the
old
water
treatment
plant
clarifier
and
we've
currently
got
that
out
of
service
and
are
doing
some
work
to
restore
and
repair
that
the
maintenance
division
they
have
been
very
busy.
K
They
are
very
busy
do
an
excellent
job.
Lift
stations
also
is
another
division
that
stays
enormous
ly
busy
over
the
last
nine
months,
they've
completed
in
excess,
2,000
preventative
maintenance
tasks.
These
guys
work
very,
very
hard,
I've
been
up
early
early
in
the
morning
dealing
with
god-knows-what,
and
they
do
it
with
excellent
attitudes
and
provide
exceptional
service
to
the
city
of
Bossier
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
division.
We
continue
to
maintain
compliance
with
our
wastewater
discharge,
monic
requirements.
We
are
conducting
ongoing
capital
improvement
efforts
at
both
plants,
two
of
which
you
guys
voted
on
today.
K
K
They
are
continually
inspecting
the
various
industrial
waste
and
stormwater,
and
oil
and
grease
permits
that
we
have
within
the
city
that
collects
permit
fees
and
we've
recently
refined
our
SEP
detailing
requirements
to
include
sampling
as
a
component
of
that
to
ensure
that
what
they're
dumping
in
our
wastewater
plants
is
acceptable.
I
know
it
burned
through
that
pretty
quick,
but.
K
G
K
We
start
Thursday,
we
will
be
flushing,
we
we
turned
the
ammonia
back
on.
We
did
that
Sunday
and
we
will
start
flushing.
The
system
Thursday
will
will
flush.
Thursday,
Friday
Saturday
pick
it
up
again
on
Monday
and
should
be
done
by
the
end
of
next
week
with
that
process
and
the
water
should
go
back
to
normal,
but
it's
been
very
successful.
A
D
D
D
A
A
Again,
to
update
I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
word
that
I've
engaged
mr.
Holt
to
look
at
taking
this
$3
in
bonding
it,
which,
based
on
200,000
tickets
a
year
or
600,000,
which
would
get
us
probably
eight
million,
maybe
eight
to
nine
million
in
the
open
market
so
that
over
the
next
three
years
and
mr.
A
Hudson's
gone
but
Rebekah
and
Sam
they're
gonna
put
together
a
three
year
plan,
three
or
four
year
plan
of
what
things
need
to
be
done,
including
the
roof,
the
bleachers,
the
seating,
the
lighting,
the
concession
stand,
experience,
landscaping
and
my
leaving
anything
out.
You
know
real
needs
that
hadn't
been
touched
in
17
years.
So
if
in
concurrence
with
the
council-
and
they
agree,
that's
how
we're
going
to
proceed
forward
and
they'll
be
an
ordinance
brought
forth.
Once
we
get
all
that
together.
Well,.
J
A
The
patrons
that
attend
the
events
will
see
this
in
the
next
couple
of
years.
No
I
mean
no
good,
the
instant
bang
for
their
buck.
You
know
I
mean
so
anyway.
I
think
it's
gonna
work
and
I'll
certainly
keep
everybody
priced,
and
when
we
get
more
information,
we're
have
mr.
Holt
up
here
and
as
well
as
Rebecca
and
Sam
David
mentioned.
A
There
is
that
that
was
one
of
the
first
things
when
mr.
Williams
and
I
went
out
there
and
I
went
under
the
bleacher.
I
came
out
of
there
as
fast
as
anybody
could
I
didn't
know.
What
was
you
know
what
I
mean?
It
was
scary
down
there.
So
anyway,
it's
yes,
everything's
gonna
be
cleaned
from
top
to
bottom.
So.
I
D
D
Adopt
a
resolution
that
the
city
of
our
city
joins
the
President
of
the
United
States
of
America
in
proclaiming
May
22nd
2017
is
National
Maritime
Day
honoring
the
contribution
of
the
American
Merchant
Marines,
who
have
defended
the
freedom
of
the
United
States
and
join
in
recognition
of
this
important
date
in
maritime
history.
First
and
final
reading.
