Please
bow
your
hands
heavenly
father.
We
thank
you
for
this
beautiful
day
that
you've
given
us
and
for
all
the
blessings
that
we
have
here
in
bossier
city.
Lord.
We
pray
for
a
quick
and
successful
vaccine
and
treatment
of
the
virus.
Lord
well,
we
pray
for
those
who
are
affected
by
the
virus
for
those
who've
lost
jobs.

Thank
you,
members
and
mayor
for
allowing
me
a
few
minutes
to
make
a
brief
brief
comments
about.
The
recently
ended,
regular
and
special
sessions
strange
times
right
now,
but
we
did
start
session
on
march.
The
9th
worked
for
seven
days
and
we
adjourned
for
six
weeks
under
the
stay-at-home
order
and
came
back
on,
may
the
4th
to
take
up
the
remaining
legislation
that
could
be
done.
Approximately
half
of
the
bills
that
were
filed
made
it
through
the
process
a
lot
of
it.
H
The
focus
became
the
cares
act,
funding
from
the
federal
government
limitation
of
liability,
immunity
for
cities
for
restaurants,
for
any
type
of
business,
dealing
with
ppe
in
in
the
co-fit
situation,
we
had
some
local
bills,
some
local
issues.
We
were
tackling
as
well,
and
then
we
came
back
in
a
special
session.
It
was
only
second
time
in
history
that
the
legislature
called
themselves
back
into
session
with
the
agenda
primarily
focused
on
revitalizing
the
economy
and
a
focus
on
small
business.
H
Some
of
the
highlights
from
the
regular
session
that
affect
us
directly
normally
house
bill
1
on
the
state's
budget
in
house,
bill,
2
and
3
the
state's
capital
outlay
budget
or
passed
in
the
regular
session.
We
didn't
have
enough
time
to
do
that,
so
our
efforts
shifted
to
the
special
session
where
our
capital
outlay
discussions
took
place
I'll
get
to
that
in
the
special
session
discussion.
H
H
It
could
have
cost
the
system
money.
Fortunately,
senator
peacock
and
senator
mills
from
appear
on
the
retirement
committee
and
amended
the
bill,
so
it
wouldn't
affect
us,
along
with
several
other
cities
who
are
in
the
merge
system
for
all
the
lafayette
employees
that
were
left
ended,
so
that
was
that
was
a
successful
bill
for
us.
During
the
regular
session
representative
daugherty
w
horton
filed
a
bill
to
redo
the
authority
of
cyprus,
black
bayou.
She
had
not
spoken
to
me.
H
I
requested
that
she
not
advance
the
bill
until
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
city
officials,
the
council,
parish,
parish
officials,
school
board
and
whomever
else
was
involved
in
this,
and
she
did
so.
The
bill
did
not
advance.
She
did
not
get
it
into
the
special
session
in
june.
We're
talking
about
a
special
session
in
october.
H
I
don't
know
what
the
legislature
is
going
to
do
as
far
as
content
matter
for
that
session,
but
this
is
something
we're
going
to
have
to
keep
on
our
radar
for
a
discussion
on
what
position
we
will
take
when
that
bill
comes
back,
there
were
a
number
of
cyber
related
bills.
I
think
that
bodes
well
for
us.
The
legislature
realized
there
was
a
disconnect
through
the
state
and
the
legislature
on
communication
on
all
cyber
activity
in
the
state,
as
it
relates
to
curriculum
and
programs.
H
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
the
cyber
innovation
center
for
the
city
and
for
the
parish
to
participate
at
a
different
level
level
to
identify
opportunities
for
us
with
the
state.
You
know
lsu
is
competing
as
well
on
that
subject
matter
and
I
think
obviously
we
have
a
better
story
to
tell
so
I'll
continue
monitoring
this
new
committee
that
will
meet
in
the
interim.
H
H
I
think
this
is
also
going
to
be
helpful
for
the
city
sports
wagering,
our
casino
industry
here
and
and
statewide
was
successful
in
getting
the
sports
wagering
ballot
initiative
on
the
november
3rd
ballot,
so
each
parish
will
decide
if
they
want
to
have
that
or
not
so
you'll
see
that
also
covet
again
was
the
focus
they
allowed
for
a
legislation
passed
to
allow
for
you
to
tell
a
conference
in
certain
instances,
because,
obviously,
a
lot
of
local
governments
could
not
meet
states.
State
committees
could
not
wait
me.
The
bond
commission
is
actually
piloting
a
program.
H
H
Broadband
was
also
another
big
issue,
and
I
just
I
saw
an
article
where
we
actually
got
accolades
on
our
coverage
in
this
area,
but
the
rural
parish
is
statewide
virtual
learning
telemedicine
we
lacks.
We
lack
that
in
the
rural
areas
in
our
state,
so
there
was
a
broadband
bill
that
passed
that
allows
any
electric
cooperative
to
use
their
existing
systems
to
commute
to
partner
with
the
communications
company
to
expand
it.
That
may
help
in
some
of
the
rural
areas,
and
we
have
two
study
resolutions
that
will
also
make
sure
this
goes
forward.
H
Tort
reform
was
a
big
issue.
I
know
a
lot
of
you
heard
this
was
championed
by
the
business
community,
a
bill
passed,
it
was
vetoed
and
it
ultimately
passed
in
a
special
session,
so
they
were
able
to
tweak.
The
chairman
was
talking
to
me
about
the
president
council.
I'm
sorry
was
talking
to
me
about
that
before
they
were
able
to
get
a
comprehensive
bill
passed
in
the
special
session
that
did
address
some
of
the
tort
reform
issues
in
our
state.
H
We
adjourned
on
june
1st
at
6
00
6
pm,
and
we
went
back
in
at
601
for
30
days
and
I
failed
to
mention
it
was
similar
to
what
you
deal
with
here.
We
had
every
other
row
every
two
chairs.
We
were
screened
every
day,
so
they
did
take
precautions
and
we
went
for
30
more
days
to
finish
the
response
from
the
recovery,
federal
dollars
and
capital
outlay.
Among
other
things,
the
governor
named
the
louisiana
restore
commission
to
kind
of
tackle
the
economic
fallout
as
a
result
of
pandemic.
H
The
legislature
had
its
own
committee
louisiana
economic
recovery
task
force,
so
the
two
were
competing
in
some
senses,
but
also
working
together
on
what
legislation
to
pass
that
would
help
cities.
You
know
parishes
businesses
to
recover.
I
guess
the
biggest
dispute
between
the
governor
and
the
legislature
was
congress
sent
louisiana
1.8
billion
dollars.
The
state
used
900
million
to
plug
their
budget
and
allocated
810
to
local
government.
H
The
legislature
passed
a
bill
to
take
300
of
that
300
million
to
give
to
small
business
and
businesses
in
the
form
of
grants.
Fortunately,
with
talking
to
the
cfo
and
the
mayor
and
others
just
now,
we
have
gotten
our
money
coming
in
from
the
state
from
the
karazak
dollars
and
we
will
continue
to
get
that.
Originally
there
was
some
concern
they
were
going
to
run
out.
H
The
next
batch
is
first,
come
first
serve,
and
I
know
your
administrative
staff
is
ready
to
hit
the
send
button,
so
the
sooner
we
get
it
in
the
better
off,
we
will
be
on
reimbursements
for
costs
that
we've
incurred
as
a
result
of
covid.
I
mentioned
these
study
resolutions
when
a
legislator
doesn't
get
their
bill
through.
They
introduce
the
study
resolution
to
keep
the
discussion
gone
going
on
in
the
interim,
so
I'll
be
monitoring.
Several
there's.
There's
one,
the
speaker
of
the
house
filed
the
bill
to
centralize
sales
tax
collection.
H
We
got
back
into
capital
outlay,
our
louisiana
technology
research
institute,
funding
we
got
the
jimmy
davis
bridge
is
back
in
a
new
item
which
has
been
vetoed
a
couple
times,
unfortunately,
is
not
vetoed
this
year,
because
we
did
it
a
different
way.
We
were
able
to
get
the
street
lighting
project.
Senator
peacock
helped
me
with
this,
and
we
used
surplus
funds,
so
the
highway
71
street
lighting
project
is
going
to
be
a
reality
since
it'll
be
cash
coming
from
the
state,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
I
went
to
bond
commission
via
zoom
on
in
july.
H
H
Both
the
jimmy
davis
bridge
and
ltri
have
a
bond
portion
there's
a
little
bit
of
gamesmanships
going
on
there,
because
the
legislature
held
back
some
money
this
year
and
created
a
surplus
fund.
In
case
we
have
budget
cuts
mid-year,
so
I
think
the
governor's
holding
back
a
little
bit
too
until
he
recommends
the
remainders
of
mainer
projects
to
be
funded.
I'm
not
worried
about
it
right
now.
I
know
the
administration
is
going
to
proceed
with
the
paperwork
and
our
amended
cooperative
endeavor
agreements.
H
I
think
I
hit
all
the
highlights.
There
was
also
the
front
line
worker
bill.
I
thought
that
was
a
significant
one
for
our
police
and
fire
and
ems
workers.
Representative
sam
jenkins
took
a
portion
of
the
karazak
funding
and
made
that
available
as
a
stipend
to
two
employees
who
qualify
for
that,
so
that
program
is
being
administered
and
us.
Hopefully,
some
of
our
employees
are
going
to
be
able
to
benefit
from
that.
We'll
have
seven
constitutional
amendments
on
the
ballot.
H
As
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
see
on
every
parish
ballot,
the
sports
wagering
among
several
others-
I
hope
this
was
shared
with
you
over
the
last
several
months.
I
submit
these
reports
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
attorney.
I
know
you
all
get
them,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and,
like
I
said
we're
going
to
have
revenue
estimating
conference
again
in
september.
H
This
is
the
body
to
tell
us
how
much
money
the
state
has
or
doesn't
have
that
will
determine
if
we
go
back
into
an
october
session
and
I
think
that
agenda
will
be
dictated
by
congress
on
any
additional
funding
they
may
send
back
to
local
governments.
Senator
cassidy
has
a
bill
that
has
a
500
million
price
tag.
I
know
to
allow
us
to
recoup
lost
revenue
if
that,
in
fact
has
happened.
H
I
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
pass
or
not,
but
I
know
the
governor
house
and
senate
are
waiting
to
see
what
happens
up
in
d.c
before
we
set
an
agenda
for
october
and
I'm
sorry
for
being
along
with
it.
It
was
a
long
couple
of
sessions,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
on
any
subject
matter.
You
may
have
about
the
session.
G
J
I
G
H
No-
and
I
definitely
could
use
some
help
on
that
she
caught
me
off
guard.
I
told
the
city
attorney
normally,
she
would
ask
me
or
discuss
something
before
all
of
our
members
have
never
done
that
she
apologized
profusely,
and
I
do
want
all
of
you
to
know
that
she
pulled
the
bill
immediately
at
my
request
and
has
had
a
meeting
with
some
of
the
impacted
parties,
since
she
has
requested
one
with
the
city.
So
any
conversations
you
can
have
with
her
I've
shared
the
tax
assessor's
revenue
david.
H
I'm
sorry
so
I
think
I
brought
to
light
that
81
percent
of
our
tax
base
is,
is,
you
know,
supports
the
district,
so
certainly
one
representative
is
is
necessary
from
us.
You
know,
I
don't
have
a
relationship
with
the
school
board.
I
don't
know
how
they
felt,
but
I
do
know
the
parish
was
opposed
to
this
as
well,
which
they're
going
to
meet
with
her
on
this
too
yeah.
G
C
C
K
H
C
K
Well,
thank
you.
There's
a
lot
of
people
involved.
Brad
sent
me
an
email
from
congress
congressman
mike
johnson
that
had
a
phone
number
on
it
and
I
just
picked
up
the
phone
and
called
and
that
started
the
whole
thing
and
pam
is
the
one
who
uploads
all
the
documents.
My
staff
all
works
hard
to
get
the
documents
ready.
K
C
C
C
L
L
So
we
also
want
to
place
a
few
signs
along
the
way
that
says
a
future
corridor
of
walter
o'bigby
carriageway,
if
that's
all
right
with
the
city
ben's
having
the
signs
made
and
we'll
go
and
put
them
out
along
the
way.
I
don't
think
all
of
the
stakes
are
gonna
survive
until
we
start
construction,
but
we'll
try
to
keep
most
of
them
out
there.
Citizens
bank
drive.
I
have
some
sketches
that
I'd
like
to
use
to
facilitate
the
conversa
the
conversation.
L
The
first
is
an
aerial
of
what
I
call
the
the
field
and
it
shows
bingham
dentistry
and
the
green
acres
office
park.
That's
where
the
the
bridge
actually
lands
and
the
connection
is
made
to
benton
road
and
then
citizens
bank
drive,
which
I
have
a
sketch.
That
shows
the
proposed
layout
of
citizens
bank
drive,
which
reduces
the
the
area
encroaching
upon
the
levee.
So
it
keeps
the
road
away
from
the
levy
to
the
maximum
extent
practical.
L
Then
you
have
the
issue
with
how
you're
going
to
get
underneath
the
bridge
right
now,
the
design
of
the
bridge
allows
for
nine
feet
of
clearance.
It's
our
recommendation
that
the
city
take
measures
to
allow
more
than
nine
feet
of
clearance,
because,
inevitably,
trucks
are
going
to
hit.
The
bridge
then
put
the
bridge
out
of
commission.
You've
got
to
spend
money
to
fix
it,
a
bunch
of
lawsuits,
so
we're
recommending
a
minimum
of
15
feet
of
clearance
and
one
of
the
options
to
do
that
is
to
build
an
underpass
like
you
have
on
hamilton
road.
L
L
We
resubmitted
the
documents
which
they
call
the
30,
that's
just
their
their
lingo
on
july
14th,
their
only
issue
that
we
got
from
them
before
the
that
submittal
was
the
drainage
from
what
I
called
the
field
they
didn't
want
us
draining
any
of
the
water
into
their
railroad
ditch.
So
we
simply
resubmitted
and
told
them
we're
not
going
to
so.
L
The
issue
still
remains
of
how
we're
going
to
drain
the
water
from
that
field,
and
I've
engaged
alderman
and
associates
of
geotechnical
engineering
firm
to
do
an
infiltration
test
because
everybody
that's
been
out
there
when
you
get
a
big
rain,
the
water
just
kind
of
disappears,
none
of
it
really
overflows
onto
benton
road.
So
it's
infiltrating
into
the
ground,
so
we're
doing
a
test
to
see
how
fast
the
water
infiltrates
into
the
ground
and
if
it
can
handle
the
design
storm.
That
dotd
requires,
which
is
a
10-yard
10-year
storm
event,.
L
I
think
it's
worthy
to
note
at
this
point
that
the
city
council
and
gordon
mosley
gave
me
this
passed
a
resolution
number
15
of
2020
regarding
the
exchange
of
the
property
green
acres
office
park
and
and
all
of
that,
and
it
says
that
the
construction
on
the
citizens
bank
drive
extension
does
not
have
to
begin
or
will
begin
no
later
than
90
days
after
the
substantial
completion
of
the
bridge.
So
that's
a
long
time.
L
L
You
can
look
at
the
schedule
and
see
you
know
what
I've
got
there
several
of
the
utilities
and
we
brought
it
to
the
attention
of
the
city,
the
mayor,
the
city
attorney,
and
I
know
pam's
involved
in
it
I'll
try
to
get
the
attention
of
a
couple
of
the
utilities.
I
won't.
I
won't
mention
them
here,
but
I
think
mr
hall
wanted
us
to
prepare
a
letter
for
him
to
send
to
them
under
franchise
agreements.
L
The
last
time
I
was
up
here,
we
talked
about
the
dotd
permits
and
how
there's
a
bunch
of
those
that
we
need.
We
need
some
information
to
submit
with
the
permit
applications.
We've
got
some
of
it,
but
not
all
of
it.
But
I've
been
told
by
the
engineers
that
we
should
have
everything
by
the
end
of
this
month,
which
will
enable
us
to
submit
the
permit
applications.
L
L
So
we're
going
to
have
to
do
three
more
soul,
borings
between
station
63
and
100,
which
is
back
up
towards
the
police
training
center.
I
believe
back
up
that
way
and
they'll
be
out
there
doing
that.
Hopefully,
we'll
get
the
information,
so
we
can
complete
the
seepage
analysis
and
give
the
corps
what
they
need.
You've
got
an
item
on
the
agenda
today
for
to
approve
purlin
associates
to
design
the
lighting
for
these
roadway
portion
of
citizens.
L
Bank,
dr
of
walter
o'bigby,
and
just
wanted
to
point
out
you're
also
going
to
need
lighting
for
citizens
bank
drive
and
we're
going
to
try
to
make
it
all
match
the
bridge
the
roadway
citizens
bank
drive
whatever
lighting
is
needed,
but
again
we're
not
in
any
rush
on
citizens.
Bank
drive
at
this
point,
then
one
more
item
that
I've
brought
for
your
consideration
and
you
know
you
got
time
to
think
about
it,
but
I
think
it's
a
good
deal.
L
L
The
contractor
is
permitted
to
submit
to
the
engineer,
written
proposals
for
modifying
the
plan,
specs
or
other
requirements
of
the
contract
for
the
purpose
of
total,
of
reducing
the
total
construction
cost.
You
know
a
lot
of
times.
Contractors
know
how
to
build
things
better
than
engineers
can
design
them.
So
you
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
let
a
contractor
tell
us.
He
may
have
a
better
way
to
do
it
if
it's
less
expensive,
it'll
save
you
money.
L
So
there's
a
cost-sharing
clause
that
we'd
like
to
put
into
the
contract
documents
that
any
money
saved
is
a
result
of
an
approved
ve
proposal.
50
of
the
savings,
the
contractor
can't
keep
it
all.
You
know.
If
it's
a
million
dollars,
you
get
a
half
a
million
and
he
he
he
has
a
half
of
me.
It's
a
million
dollar
savings,
so
you
get
half
and
he
gets
half
of
the
savings.
L
What
is
the
most
economical
way
to
do
it
and
provide
the
clearance
that
you
need,
and
it
may
be,
that
a
contractor
proposes
to
actually
raise
the
bridge.
There's
there's
different
ways
that
he
may
be
able
to
accomplish
that.
So
we
want
to
leave
all
the
options
open
for
dealing
with
the
citizens
bank
drive
issue.
So
with
that
any
questions.
C
D
B
C
D
L
L
L
L
That's
totally
the
city
council's
decisions,
the
city's
decision
as
to
whether
you
want
to
allow
that
kind
of
clearance.
My
understanding
is
18,
wheelers
do
use
citizens,
bank
drive
and
you're
just
giving
them,
and
they
got
to
turn
in
there
back
up
and
turn
around.
This
just
gives
them
another
way.
It's
also
ups
trucks,
fedex
truck
that
you're
limiting
access
with
the
nine
feet.
So
that's
just
the
thought.
Yeah.
D
A

A
M
A

K
K
A
Vote
motion
carries
adopt
an
ordinance
to
declare
that
an
emergency
did
exist
in
the
city
of
bossier
city,
which
affected
property,
public
health
and
safety
due
to
the
requirement
to
repair
a
sewer
main
located
on
stewart
avenue
at
a
cost
of
140

to
come
from
the
sewer
capital
contingency

and
authorizes
the
city

completion
of
work.
First

final
reading.
C
E
G
G
C
I
Propose
ordinance,
yeah
somebody's
gonna
have
to
propose
an
ordinance
to
expand
it
to
whatever
extent
it
is.
You
know
when
I
first
proposed
it.
I
proposed
it
for
the
whole
district
and
the
council
didn't
like
that.
So
I'll
wait
for
one
of
y'all
to
propose
it
to
the
next
block
or
half
block
or
six
feet
or
or.
L
C
C
I
C
Something
I
mean
in
all
seriousness:
we
laugh,
but
obviously
that
has
taken
off
down
there
and
is
growing,
and
it
would
be
better
to
pass
something
with
the
anticipation
of
growth
rather
than
dealing
with
this
section
by
section
it
might
even
encourage
more
growth.
So
I
would
ask
the
council
to
strongly
look
at
that
and
think
about
our
future,
because
that's
what
we
invested-
15
million
once
for
the
expansion
of
the
downtown,
so.

First

G
A
G
Ben
I
just
like
to
you:
ain't
got
to
come
up.
You
know
my
power
has
been
going
on
a
lot
three
times
last
week
and
it
was
a
you
had
a
I
can't
think
of
the
guy's
name,
but
he
was
our
meeting
me
and
david
attended
with
mark
and
them,
and
I
got
he's
a
he's,
a
good
person
good
person
to
have-
and
I
think
we'll
try
to
get
upgraded
that
intersection
right
there
by
my
house
at
central
park
and
highway
71.,
so
berkshire
boulevard,
so
work
with
him
on
I
mean
he's.
G
G
E
J
G
G
There's
something
else
in
there.
You
know
they.
They
started
this
project
over
a
year
ago
that
was
pulled
off
for
about
a
year,
of
course,
as
they
laid
the
asphalt.
The
manholes
were
sticking
up
by
the
ground
about
that
far
and
then,
while
they're,
while
they
pull
it
off,
of
course,
that
road
was
getting
tore
up.
You
know
I
mean
it's
just
deteriorating
before,
because
I
take
kids
home
from
football
baseball
over
there
and
it
was
horrible.
But
looking
at
that,
looking
I
had
there
was
another
slip
on
my
computer.
G
I
can't
I
can't
seem
to
find
it
here.
They
come
back.
I
had
to
we
had
they
charged
us
for
patching
the
road
that
they
already
laid
it
didn't.
Last
after
a
year
I
mean,
I
know
you
weren't
there
doing
your
job
at
this
time,
but
you
know
I
just
138
000,
that's
like
a
third
of
the
project
for
patching
and
just
fixing
some.
I
think
we
talked
to
you
about
that
over
was
it.
G
O
O
I
went
out
down
full
of
love
friday
at
the
request
of
councilman
darby
and
noticed
you
know.
Nice,
fresh,
clean
asphalt
looked
good
and
I
was
out
really
speaking
with
keda
out
there
at
the
at
the
end
of
full
of
love
and
what
you're
communicating
to
me
is
interesting,
because
that's
exactly
what
the
director
of
cada
was
saying,
I
don't
know
what
happened
or
what
was
going
on
with
asphalt,
but
it
laid
bare
and
wasn't
any
good
for
a
long
long
time.
So
well,.
G
G
B
G
C
A
C
G
O
Don't
know
it,
it
almost
sounds
to
me
like
there
was
a
like
a
a
base
course
put
down
like
they
milled
up
the
street
and
laid
maybe
an
inch
and
a
half
or
so
of
asphalt
down
left
all
the
you
know,
manhole
lids
and
everything
proud,
and
something
happened
before
they
put
the
wearing
course
down.
They
usually
roll
that
in
a
couple
of
lifts,
so
it
sounds
like
between
the
time
they
got
the
first
layer
down
and
then
came
back
once
all
this
g-whiz
stuff
was
done.
O
G
C
A
A
B
O
O
O
Yeah
believe
it
or
not,
I
mean
it's
a
big
number,
but
all
of
the
water
unknowns
ran
around
150
180
000.
To
get
that,
you
know
that's
old
old
infrastructure,
there
was
a.
I
guess
that
used
to
be
where
public
works
had
their
operation
in
and
around,
where
police,
seven
and
storage
building
is
now,
so
they
encountered
a
lot
of
debris
and
junk
that
had
to
be
pulled
out
of
the
ground.
Just
a
lot
of
stuff.
O
I've
got
fortin
dublada
involved.
Now,
with
some
of
these
things,
I
want
to
make
sure
they're
well
aware
of
the
decisions
that
were
made
past
present
and
going
into
the
future
that
they'll
be
engaged
on
that
because
they're,
the
design
professional
record
on
the
project
need
to
be
involved
in
that,
so
I've
met
with
best
jet
construction,
several
times
projects
a
little
behind
schedule.
You
know
trying
to
get
all
of
that
moved
and
pressed,
and
they
seem
to
be
turning
a
corner.
O
O
M
G
H
O
M
O
Want
to
make
know
on
those
days,
because
I'm
negotiating
now
with
several
contractors
on
more
time
due
to
weather
delays.
Those
72
days
were
related
to
those
three
change
order,
items
that
accounted
to
91
000
plus
covid,
where
they
didn't
work.
So
they're,
I'm
looking
at
several
projects
where
contractors
are
behind.
O
You
can't
argue:
it's
been
raining
rain
and
raining
up
until
this
month.
So
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
the
gospel
on
how
many
rain
days
occurred,
because
every
contractor
seems
to
have
a
different
accounting
of
when
it
rained
and
when
it
didn't
and
then
I'll
be
back
before
the
council
to
get
all
of
that
fleshed
out.
G
C
J
A
Motion

approved

Time.
O
Real
quick,
just
update
on
this
just
so
y'all
are
aware.
I
don't
know
how
much
detail
you
looked
at
that,
but
the
lion's
share
of
that
change
order
is
for
the
lighting.
That's
going
in
along
innovation.
Drive
about
two
weeks
of
that
time
is
in
addition
to
the
amount
of
time
that
especially
trackhoes
requested
for
covid
weather
delays
and
things
like
that.
O
C
O
I
don't
have
my
master
list
I'll,
be
giving
a
report
to
y'all
next
council
meeting
and
that'll
be
beyond
there
there
that
project's
scheduled
to
be
complete
by
the
end
of
this
year.
It's
a
dotd
project.
It's
set
up
based
on
working
days
so
by
working
days,
they're
wildly
ahead
of
schedule,
but
that's
just
because
the
weather
has
prevented
them
from
working
and
that
doesn't
count
against
them.
F
O
F
O
B
J
Yes,
council,
the
governor
has
gone
to
two
press
conferences
a
week
now
and
he
just
had
one
just
prior
this
council
meeting
and
he
announced
that,
although
there's
been
some
slight
improvement,
we're
not
meeting
the
gating
criteria
to
get
out
of
phase
two
to
go
into
phase
three.
So
he
announced
that
he
will
be
formally
putting
it
out
on
thursday
that
we'll
be
extending
our
stay
in
phase
two
until
for
three
21
days
and
I'm
assuming
that
from
from
the
seventh,
which
would
put
it
to
the
28th
of
august.
J
So
there
are
indications
that
the
curves
begin
to
flatten
and
hospitalizations
are
reducing,
but
we're
not
there
to
meet
the
gating
criteria
from
the
federal
government.
So
the
decision
has
been
made
that
we
cannot
come
out
of
phase
two
until
end
of
august
around
the
28th
august,
and
I
just
want
y'all
to
be
aware
of
that.
C
G
C
Also,
what
I
would
I
would
like
to
address,
since
we
won't
have
a
meeting
prior
to
the
property
tax
renewal,
which
there's
been
obviously
some
misinformation
printed
and
shared,
and
the
mayor
had
a
fantastic
meeting
with
the
two
chiefs.
But
at
this
meeting
I
would
like
to
reiterate
the
facts
of
the
6.19
millage
renewal,
which
has
been
on
the
books
for
two
years
at
6.19.
C
So
in
this
money
does
not
go
for
raises,
it
goes
for
the
ongoing
continuing
salaries
of
our
police
and
fire
departments,
which
we
dearly
depend
on,
given
the
state
of
affairs
that
our
communities
are
having
to
deal
with
today.
So
I
implore
people
to
please
support
this
renewal
so
that
we
can
maintain
the
police
and
fire
force
that
we
have
all
grown
accustomed
to
in
taking
care
of
us
and
for
the
record.
I
would
like
to
remind
people,
mr
hoff,
I'm
incorrect.
C
Please
let
me
know
that
people
fail
to
mention
is
we're
at
a
little
over
23
mills
and
I
don't
believe
that
the
property
taxes
in
bozier
city
have
been
increased
over
over
30
years.
Is
that
correct
right?
I
don't
know
too
many
communities
that
can
relish
in
the
public
safety
that
we
enjoy
and
know
that
we
have
not
raised
property
taxes
in
over
30
years,
and
I
just
would
like
for
the
people
to
know
that
and
know
the
facts.
And
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
call
the
city
council
office,
the
mayor's
office.
C
I
I
That
was
a
job
done
by
both
between
utilities
and
the
fire
department
to
get
us
raised
to
a
class
one,
and
I
think
that's
a
huge
step
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
at
no
expense
when,
before
it
required
a
huge
amount
of
manpower,
it
required
nothing
but
coordination
with
regard
to
the
flow
of
meters
and
the
utility
system
and
and
staying
on
top
of
that.
So
that's
true.
C
Which,
by
the
way
and
we'll
carry
that
a
step
further,
that
means
more
money
in
all
the
businesses
and
the
taxpayers
of
bossier
city's
pocketbook,
because
you
save
on
insurance
rates
and
nobody
likes
insurance,
and
you
know
I'm
the
guy
that
sells
that
stuff.
So
I
know
how
people
feel,
but
anyway,
just
know
that,
because
of
that
and
the
funding
and
the
work
that
our
utilities
department
and
our
public
safety
have
done,
you're
saving
money
back
on
your
insurance
premiums.
