Description
Bossier City Council Meeting March 17, 2020
A
Wow,
while
we
get
our
technology
running
I,
do
want
to
thank
anyone
that
is
watching
for
streaming
for
tuning
in
today,
you're
part
of
the
largest
crowd
ever
to
watch
a
Bossier
City
Council
meeting
either
on
the
air
or
streaming
I
would
like
to
just.
Let
folks
know
that,
for
those
are
physically
into
in
attendance
today
that
we
have
put
safety
measures
in
place,
everybody
has
a
little
towel.
A
If
you
need
to
call
for
sneeze,
please
coughing
or
sneezing
your
towel,
we've
increased
the
distance
that
is
between
us,
we've,
sanitized,
the
council
chambers
and
we're
limiting
attendees
to
ten
people.
Phyllis
our
city
clerk
is
doing
a
tremendous
job,
ensuring
that
we
can
conduct
our
job
safely,
and
for
that
we
thank
you.
C
A
B
A
Me,
let
me
finish
my
little
comments
here:
Phyllis
is
working
to
to
have
a
ability
for
us
to
have
video
conferencing
in
the
future,
so
any
council,
member
or
Jimmy
or
the
mayor
or
affiliates
that
would
like
to
attend
remotely
in
the
future
they'll,
be
it
you'll,
be
able
to
do
that,
but
I'll
still
be
here.
Phyllis
is
still
planning
of
being
here.
So
we'll
still
have
a
physical
presence
here.
A
C
A
Okay,
so
everyone
set
I'm
going
to
give
the
invocation
and
then
we'll
have
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
by
council
members
Don
witness
Heavenly
Father.
We
thank
you
for
being
our
God
Lord.
Well,
we're
just
trusting
you
during
these
uncertain
times.
We
put
our
faith
in
you
Lord.
Well,
we
just
pray
for
our
nation.
We
pray
for
the
world
tour.
We
pray
for
leaders
to
make
the
correct
decisions
at
the
right
time
Lord
and
for
people
to
to
follow
those
appropriately
Lord
Lord.
A
Okay,
now
les
is
going
to
go
over
some
protocol
issues
to
ensure
that
this
meeting
complies
with
all
public
meeting
of
laws.
I
will
ask
for
the
audience's
patience
as
we
go
through
this
agenda.
We're
going
to
have
some
rather
long
pauses
between
the
reading
of
the
agenda
items
to
give
time
for
responses
felis.
If
you
would
make
your
comments
and
then
yes.
C
Sir,
the
Bossier
City
Council
will
do
its
best
to
allow
for
public
participation
during
today's
meeting
and
at
all
future
meetings
until
the
governor's
order
has
been
rescinded,
since
we
could
only
have
ten
people
in
the
chambers
for
the
meeting.
The
public
comments
can
also
be
made
via
electronic
devices.

Public

slowly
so
that

understand
you,
please
no
foul

forfeit

are
allowing

public
comment
period.
Agenda
items
will
take
longer
than

because
we

item
and

vote
being
taking
for
any
public
comment.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
and
understanding.
A
A
A
A
A
A
E
A
E
Since
our
last
meeting,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
look
over
the
plans
and
to
look
at
the
entire
proposition
and
I
really
came
to
the
conclusion.
This
is
a
wonderful
idea
to
have
a
oversight
over
not
only
this
project,
but
the
other
part
of
it
that
constitutes
the
whole
put
together
on
wov
Parkway,
so
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
E
B
I
just
like
to
add
that
I've
also
looked
at
the
plans
and
met
the
company.
That's
involved,
you
know
been
impressed
with
it
and
I
think
this
is
a
way
for
us
to
go.
That
Manchaca
would
be
the
process
firm
or
individuals
to
make
certain.
We
got
a
good,
timely
process
and
bring
it
to
fruition
early.
The
construction
plans
about
99%,
complete
so
I
really
do
believe.
This
is
the
way
to
go.
Thank.
C
D
B
C
It
was
a
timer
adopt
an
order
to
declare
that
an
emergency
did
exist
in
the
city
of
Bossier
City,
which
affects
property,
public
health
and
safety
due
to
the
requirement
to
repair
a
ruptured
water
main
with
in
the
southbound
travel
lane
of
Barksdale
Boulevard
at
a
cost
of
thirty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
thirty
four
dollars
and
sixty
eight
cents
to
come
from
the
water
capital.
Contingency
funds.
A
C
C
C
A
resolution
of
compliance
healing
in
prayer
in
response
to
the
Cova
denied
teen
pandemic,
whereas
the
good
citizens
of
the
city
of
buzzer
city,
state
of
Louisiana
and
the
citizens
of
the
world
are
all
encouraged
to
support
and
adhere
to
Public
instruction's
of
the
Honorable
governor
of
the
state
of
Louisiana
and
the
President
of
the
United
States,
as
it
relates
to
the
Cova
19
pandemic.
We
therefore
affirm
and
expect
jehova
sholom
to
give
us
peace
in
this
time
of
national
crisis.
C
Let
all
citizens
of
Bossier,
City,
Louisiana,
United,
States
and
all
nations
small
and
great
be
reminded
that
our
trust
in
the
is
in
the
true
and
living
God.
It
is
our
prayer
that
people
who
are
sick
receive
care
and
that
our
Jehovah
Rapha
releases
healing
across
the
world
as
a
spring
showers
from
heaven.
May
it
be
resolved
that
all
who
humble
himself
who
pray,
who
seek
and
turned
from
their
wicked
ways,
hear
from
heaven
and
be
forgiven
of
sin
and
may
the
loving
and
love
Living
God
heal
our
neighbors
and
nation
of
koban

C
May
it
be
resolved
that
all
citizens
be
encouraged
to
pray
for,
but
not
limited
to
the
following
and
pray
that
each
one
is
protected
from
Co
bid
19,
while
selflessly
rendering
essential
care
to
our
citizens.

and

A
A
In
the
Lord
I
do
want
to
make
a
couple
of
comments.
I
know
people
heard
a
lot
from
the
President
of
the
United
States
they've
heard
a
lot
from
our
governor,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
bring
all
of
this
home
there's
some
things
that
every
citizen
can
do
to
help
prevent
a
health
crisis
in
Bossier
City.
A
This
revolves
around
love.
If
we
love
our
neighbor,
if
we
love
our
parents
and
if
we
love
our
grandparents,
if
we
love
those
battling
pre-existing
conditions
and
if
we
love
our
community,
then
we
all
need
to
heed
this
advice,
and
that
is
take
the
stay
home
orders
very
seriously.
So
what
do
stay
home
orders
mean
just
that
for
the
most
part
do
not
leave
your
house
sure
you
can
go
to
the
grocery
store
to
the
doctor.
Take
care
of
a
loved
one.
If
you're
an
essential
employee,
you
could
go
to
work.
A
You
can
walk
your
dog
around
the
block,
but
for
the
most
part
that's
it.
The
message
is
simple:
stay
at
home,
I
attended
a
state
of
the
coronavirus
in
Bossier
Parish
conference
call.
Yesterday,
I
wish
that
the
news
was
good,
but,
quite
frankly
it
was
not.
This
call
was
attended
by
medical
professionals,
the
sheriff
the
mayor
and
other
leaders.
The
main
message
was
that
our
numbers
of
cases
are
still
going
up.
Someone
commented
they
appeared
that
the
cases
were
going
down
made
seen
a
bar
graph
on
a
website.
A
The
authorities
on
the
phone
said
that
one
or
two
days
do
not
make
a
trend
that
there
are
fluctuations
in
the
rate
at
which
people
are
tested
that
can
affect
those
daily
graphs
and
numbers.
The
numbers
of
people
needing
advanced
medical
care
continue
to
rise.
They
stated
that
we
have
approximately
a
two-week
supply
of
advanced
medical
care
capacity.
A
A
The
authorities
on
the
call
said
we're
you're,
basically
about
two
weeks
behind
what
is
happening
in
New
Orleans
I
want
to
thank
those
of
you
who
have
paid
who
have
paid
attention
to
the
orders
to
stay
home.
You
are
making
a
difference,
but
to
those
of
you
who
continue
to
move
about,
please
change
your
behavior
and
stay
home
now
watch
the
citizens
of
Bossier
City
to
know
that
they
can
keep
up
with
news
that
affects
Bossier
City.
By
going
to
our
website
Bossier
City
org.
A
If
you
don't
have
a
computer,
the
city
has
a
mobile
app
for
your
phone.
If
you
get
a
pen
or
pencil
ready,
I'll
tell
you
how
to
do
that.
You
can
download
this
mobile
app
by
searching
for
a
civic
mobile
through
your
App
Store
so
and
they
just
follow
the
online
instructions.
It's
easy
at
that
point
again
to
download
the
Bossier
City

on
your

search
for

mobile
civi
c
m
OB,
IL
e
on
your
phone
through
the
app
store
and
again
I
want
to
thank
Jeff
Darby
for
this
resolution
of
Prayer.
A
B
B
Did
did
want
you
all
to
know
we're
meeting
every
day.
This
group
that
you
listen
to
we've
been
listening.
We've
been
doing
this
for
about
a
week
and
a
half
now
and
we
will
continue
and
we're
covering
a
great
deal,
the
atoms
that
you've
mentioned
briefly
there,
but
we
have
elected
officials,
we
have
medical
people,
we
have
military
people
who
we
got
first
responders
at
all,
participating
this
and
the
community
is
doing
a
great
job
of
coordinating
and
supporting
the
efforts.
B
Here
we
are
having
a
Public
Safety
people
monitor
for
entities
that
are
not
complying
with
the
requirements
of
no
more
than
10
or
50
or
250,
as
a
case
may
be,
if
they
see
something
unusual,
they're
inquiring
and
making
certain
people
what
they
should
be
doing
it.
We
have
no
plans
to
occur
for
you,
that's
been
talked
about,
but
we
don't
believe
that's
necessary
at
this
point.
B
If
things
should
change
will
reconsider
that,
but
we
don't
plan
to
do
it
now,
we're
preparing
to
put
out
a
public
service
announcement,
which
would
probably
include
myself
sheriff
Whittington
representative
from
Police
Jury
medical
representative,
probably
talked
to
white
and
will
be
seeking
the
Medical
Group
commander
out
of
Barksdale
Colonel
Hudson
to
be
a
part
of
this
public
service
announcement.
We
should
be
able
to
get
that
together
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
B
You've
already
covered
the
importance
of
social
distance.
We
just
can't
say
enough
about
that,
but
I'm
so
pleased
that
the
those
in
the
listing
and
seeing
all
these
to
see
what
we're
doing
here
is
an
example
of
how
we
should
do
our
social
distance.
Regardless
of
what
the
reasons
what
the
meaning
is.
B
Our
citizens
can
do
themselves
a
lot
of
good
and
all
of
us
goodbye
just
pure
good
hygiene,
the
washing
the
hands
which
you've
stress
the
sneezing
into
tissue
and
discarding
it
or
tell
and
its
own.
Everybody
should
be
cognizant
of
that
and
should
continue
the
practice.
Good
hygiene
bottom
line,
as
I
said,
if
we're
just
to
recover
from
this
pandemic
with
the
least
amount
of
deaths,
every
one
of
our
citizens
must
be
do
what
the
president
and
the
governor
and
the
Center
for
Disease
Control
has
asked
us
to
do.
B
I
think
what
we
all
should
remember
him.
If
we
do
these
things,
we
will
save
people's
lives
and
one
I'm
gonna
be
our
own.
So
thank
you,
mr.
president,
for
allowing
me
this
time
for
the
brief
comment
that
would
add
the
president's
office
put
out
this
president
Trump's
corner
of
economic
coronavirus
guidelines
for
America.
This
came
in
the
mail.
Hopefully
everybody
got
one
cuz,
there's
some
excellent
guidance
on
the
back
of
it.
