Didn't
get
any
of
those
back,
unfortunately,
but
we
had
no
bystander
cpr
in
any
of
those,
and
I
have
the
awards
for
these.
They
were
on
scene,
they
started
the
initial
cpr.
I
think
five
rounds
of
cpr
and
got
a
pulse
back
and
started
rescue
breathing,
and
then
we
had
engine
9
trauma.
6
and
car
33
show
up,
and
I
do
want
to
just
mention
them.
F
You
had
captain
griffin,
joey,
brickner,
dylan
elliott,
on
engine
nine,
the
paramedic
on
trauma,
six
was
chad
hart
and
the
emt
was
john
fondren
and
car
33
was
ems
supervisor
jimmy
mcgee
that
all
showed
up
and
helped
out.
I
think
josh
even
rode
to
the
hospital
with
the
unit,
but
the
outcome
was
excellent
right
there
you
can
see
and.
G
I
I
J
J
You
know
it's
our
hope
that
this
doesn't
happen
to
any
more
little
ones,
but
we
want
to
do
everything
we
can
obviously
to
raise
awareness
about,
pool
safety
and
and
the
importance
of
cpr
and
things
like
that
too.
So
you
can't
talk
to
them.
But
again
we
appreciate
we
appreciate
you
all
having
us.
We
appreciate
y'all
giving
them
the
awards.
They
absolutely
deserve
it.
So
thank
y'all.
We
love
y'all,
appreciate
it
tell
them.
Thank
you

Appreciate
that
grocery

answered
the
call
to
serve
their
community
during
these
unprecedented
times
commends
the
grocery
store
workers
who
risk
their
own
health
and
safety,
as
well
as
the
health
and
safety
of
their
loved
ones.
To
continue
their
work
during
the
coven
19
pandemic
recognizes
that
some
grocery
store
workers
have
been
lost
to
covet
19
as
a

of
their
service
and
offers
their
loved

Our

M

My
name
is
jay
holmes,
I'm
the
district
manager
for
berkshires
in
the
shreveport
bozier
area.
I
want
to
first
show
appreciation
for
the
council
for
recognizing
our
company
and
our
partners,
we're
so
grateful
for
our
partners
and
our
store
managers
for
all.
They
did
the
long
hours
the
additional
safety
safety
measures,
the
additional
cleaning,
the
numerous
policy
changes,
I'm
sure
you'll
attest
to
it,
seemed
like
there
was
three
or
four
per
day
that
came
out
for
us,
so
just
on
behalf
of
berkshire
grocery
company
and
all
of
our
store
employees
and
partners.
O
According
to
mr
pipe's
statement,
he
his
son
and
granddaughter
were
walking
the
three
dogs,
while
approaching
the
intersection
of
middle
creek
and
alcrest
at
pitbull
charged
across
the
street,
went
behind
his
husky
and
bit
her
tail.
They
tried
to
grab
the
dog's
collar
but
weren't
able
to
restrain
it.
O
O
O
P
M
M
After
a
long
night
out,
let
my
dogs,
out,
like
usual,
was
gonna,
go
to
my
wife's
parents
house
to
spend
fourth
of
july
night
there,
and
whenever
I
let
my
dogs
out
about
20
minutes
after
that,
I
opened
the
door
to
let
them
back.
In
called
for
my
female
and
she
didn't
answer,
my
female
is
her
name's
sasha.
She
is
a
according
to
the
vet.
A
lab
boxer
mix.
M
Whenever
I
called
for
her,
she
didn't
come,
which
is
very
strange:
she's
been
trained
for
the
past
three
years
professionally.
Whenever
she
hears
my
command,
she
comes
all
the
time.
So
I
went
into
my
backyard
just
whenever
I
saw
mr
pipes
across
the
street
and
he
yelled
at
me
saying:
hey
your
dog
just
attacked
my
dog,
so
I
went
inside
put
my
shoes
on
went
around
to
where
my
gate
is,
and
I
noticed
my
gate
was
opened
at
that
point
in
time.
It
struck
my
mind.
M
M
He
also
had
two
other
dogs
with
him.
They
were
all
standing
up.
Whenever
I
asked
him
where
my
dog
was,
he
pointed
towards
my
house,
went
over
there,
his
son
was
there
had
my
dog
up
against
the
door
like
this.
She
was
waiting
for
me
to
go.
Let
her
inside
I
let
her
inside
put
her
in
her
kennel
went
back
outside,
nobody
was
outside,
I
assume
they
kept
walking
the
dog
I
assumed
everything
was
okay.
M
M
M
M
M
M
They
came
to
my
house
and
I
was
I
was
awake
and
see
I
work
nights
on
patrol
for
budget
sheriff's
office
so
whenever
they
come
in
the
morning
at
8,
30
9
o'clock
in
the
morning,
I'm
asleep
and
I
didn't
answer
the
door
so
the
six
that
came
by
they
came
by
later
in
the
afternoon.
They
finally
got
a
statement
from
me
and.
M
M
Their
dog's
combined
weight
is
probably
around
160
170
pounds.
I
don't
believe
one
human
being
can
control
that
much
animal
at
a
fence
whenever
he
walks
his
dogs
or
she
walks
their
dogs.
Next
to
my
fence,
they
fight
at
my
fence,
my
fence.
If
you
have
seen
my
my
yard,
it's
not
a
completely
enclosed
privacy
fence.
M
It's
I
don't
know,
maybe
an
inch
inch
and
a
half
gap
between
each
each
board.
You
got
a
picture
of
it:
okay,
okay,
so
whenever
they
walk
the
dogs
by
my
fence,
they
fight,
maybe
a
minute.
At
a
time
thanksgiving.
Last
year,
2020
his
dogs
got
loose
from
his
yard,
fought
my
dogs
at
my
fence,
for,
I
would
say
more
than
a
minute.
E
M
This
is
my
wife's
uncle,
troy
phillips.
He
owns
all
dogs
unleashed
in
shreveport.
He
was
at
my
house
at
the
time
on
thanksgiving
him
and
my
wife
had
to
go
outside,
get
his
dogs
taken
back
to
his
house.
They
were
not
a
threat
towards
them
by
any
means,
they
won't
want
to
call
her.
They
were
just
fighting
at
my.
R
Q
Sorry
about
that,
the
name's,
troy
phillips,
the
business
is
all
dogs
unleashed.
The
address
is
1240
shreveport
barksdale
highway,
suite
102..
Thank
you,
okay,
but
on
thanksgiving,
yes,
we
myself
and
haley
his
wife
took
their
dogs
over
to
them.
The
wife
answered
the
phone
and
their
gate
was
open
as
well.
I
have
been
over
at
the
property
several
different
times
and
she
does
walk
the
dogs
along
the
fence
line
and
they
fight
as
well.
So
if
she
feels
there's
a
threat,
why
walk
on
that
side
of
the
fence?
Q
M
My
dog
started
training
with
troy
he
actually
before
he
started.
His
business
took
my
dog
to
dallas,
where
the
main
business
is
for
all
dogs
unleashed,
and
he
used
her
as
a
as
a
training
partner
to
learn
how
to
train
the
dogs
over
there.
Since
then,
she's
been
trained
professionally
every
day
she
uses
an
e-collar,
she
listens
to
commands,
she
sits,
she
listens,
she
obeys.
She
waits
she's,
a
ideal,
perfect
individual
dog
and
mom.
In
my
opinion,
I'm
sorry
I'm
trying
to
find
the
narrative.
K
M
M
M
I
wrote
my
statement
down
on
the
6th
and
provided
animal
control.
With
my
statement
on
the
8th
mr
pipes,
emailed
jennifer
westerfield
with
the
bossier
city,
animal
control,
he
said
jennifer.
Could
you
call
me-
and
let
me
know
what
is
happening
with
my
problem?
Please
thanks
mike
it's
two
days
after
I
gave
my
statement
the
next
day,
jennifer
emailed
him
back,
said
hi
mr
pipes,
we're
currently
going
forward
with
deeming
the
dog
dangerous.
I
need
your
formal
statement
on
what
happened.
M
M
Also,
on
the
day
of
the
attack,
whenever
I
came
back,
I
did
not
notice
it
at
the
time
until
I
put
my
dog
away
and
then
got
her
back
out
later
on
that
night,
sasha
did
not
have
any
blood
on
her
chest.
She
has
a
white
chest.
She
has
a
tan
dog
white
chest
and
white
feet.
Okay,
just
like
a
boxer,
there
was
no
blood
on
her
chest.
There
was
no
blood
on
her
mouth.
There
was
nothing
hanging
from
her
teeth.
Her
teeth
were
completely
clean.
M
Only
other
thing
I
can
and
I'm
not
trying
to
make
any
assumptions.
The
only
other
thing
I
can
think
of
is
the
other
dog
that
had
a
muzzle
on
while
he
was
walking.
I
don't
understand
why
you
would
have
a
muzzle
on
your
dog
unless
it's
a
dangerous
dog.
Also
the
attack
happened
supposedly
the
attack
happened.
M
P
K
M
M
Pm
at
1,
28
p.m.
I'd
already
went
to
the
neighbor's
house
with
the
kids,
and
he
had
come
back
to
my
house
to
address
the
situation
that
his
friend
that
his
kid's
friend
had
went
to
my
backyard
at
1.
28
p.m.
If
you
all
want
to
see
this,
I
can
I
have.
I
could
I
could
hand
this
down
if
y'all
want
to
see
this.
A
E
Q
I
wasn't
there,
obviously,
either
the
only
ones
that
were
were
himself.
She
wasn't
with
from
my
understanding,
but
I
have
seen
fights
I've
known
dogs,
known
dogs
that
have
been
quarantined
when
they
don't
know
which
dog
did
it.
There
was
more
than
one
dog
on
that
walk.
They
had
two
others
with
them,
and
the
one
with
the.
R
Q
Q
You
know
I
mean
I've
been
bit
by
dogs
and
I
didn't
know
which
one
it
was
and
they've
quarantined
both
dogs.
Nobody
can
really
say
which
one
did
it
at
that
time.
Dogs
react
when
they
react
as
a
dog
trainer
and
since
I'm
here,
real
quick
I'll
just
mention
it
while
I'm
at
the
mic,
since
this
has
happened,
we've
had
sasha
at
my
facility
several
times
with
other
dogs.
Q
There's
been
no
issues
with
any.
Mr
greenwald
has
video
on
camera
as
well.
I
do
at
the
office,
but
we
haven't
seen
anything
toward
people
or
other
dogs,
not
saying
it
can't
happen.
It
can
obviously
happen
with
any
dog
at
any
time,
but
the
proof
to
say
which
dog
did
it
when
you
have
four
dogs
involved
is
hard
to
say:
that's,
that's
how
I
just
feel
it,
but
I've
used
sasha
for
demos
to
like
show
customers
and
stuff
how
she
is
and
all
that
there
hasn't
been
an
issue.
Q
Okay,
three
years
of
working
with
her
and
she
still
comes
to
our
facility.
Okay,
she
is
a
good
dog.
It's
an
unfortunate
circumstance.
Somebody
opened
the
gate.
The
green
waltz
are
responsible
dog
owners.
They
volunteered
to
pay
for
the
vet
bill.
The
vet
bill
was
supposedly
750
dollars.
Now
it's
800
and
something
dollars.
Each
price
is
different.
You
know,
I'm
sorry,
mr,
what's
your
last
name,
I'm
sorry
pie,
mr
pipes.
Thank
you.
Mr
pipes
did
mention
that
he
wasn't
worried
about
he's,
just
worried
about
the
safety
of
people
and
stuff
correct.
C
O
B
S
There's
a
lot
of
variables
here,
a
lot
of
vague
information,
but
I
have
a
a
dog
with
the
dna
test.
75
lab
25
boxing
strong
as
an
ox
okay.
I
love
that
dog.
You
know,
like
you,
look
like
you
love
your
dog
things
happen.
You
know,
and-
and
I
know
that
if
my
dog
got
out-
and
there
was
an
incident
I
if
I,
if
I
were
in
that
situation,
I
I
my
son-
loves
a
dog.
He
lives
in
south
louisiana.
S
S
O
S
S
P
D
A
D
A
D
S
R
Yeah,
this
was
going
forward
with
the
new
contractor
jb
james
on
the
walter
o
bigby
carriageway
phase
two
north.
We
will
continue
to
require
the
services
of
ntb
for
ongoing
construction
issues
with
the
contractor.
So
this
is
basically
what
I
would
consider
a
deposit
and
we
will
draw
against
that
as
needed
for
ntb
to
provide
clarification
to
the
contractor
jb
james.
A
D
A
U
V
E
U
D
R
A
A
D
D
Motion
carries
and
council
that
one
will
not
come
back
before
you
till
august
the
3rd,
due
to
a
longer
advertising
requirement
for
those
introduce
an
ordinance
to
appropriate
400
000
to
come
from
the
riverboat
gaming
capital
project
fund
to
be
used
towards
expanding
the
parking
lot
at
the
boeser
city,
medical.
I
mean
municipal,
complex
first
reading,.
R
U
So,
even
today,
when
I
came
to
park,
it's
for
the
main
parking
lot
right
here
directly
across
the
street
and
it's
you
know
we
got
people
parking
in
the
grass
before
council
meetings
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
preliminary
that
cost
estimate.
We
were
a
bit
conservative
with
those
numbers.
We
think
once
we
get
an
engineering
design
on
that
and
get
everything
out
to
bid
we'll
get
we'll
get
more
refined
numbers
on
that
parking
lot.
Is
it
going
just
straight
back
to
where.
U
A
D
W
Brian
hammond's
100
rosemont,
bossier
city-
I
just
have
a
question:
is
this
going
to
fix
the
problem
that
we're
having
in
south
bossier
with
the
lift
stations,
specifically
in
shady
grove,
with
all
the
torn
up
yards?
I
know
you're
having
to
reroute
water
sewer
down
through
ditches
everything
like
that
in
this
area.
Is
this
this
going
to
fix
the
problem.
E
A
U
Council,
this
particular
project
is
not
designed
to
specifically
address
every
issue.
We've
got
in
south
bossier.
There
is
an
active
project,
several
million
dollar
project,
going
on
down
around
normand
and
shady
grove.
We
call
it
basin
25
bc25,
so
there's
been
a
lot
of
sewer
rehabilitative
work
going
on
that's
going
to
help.
U
U
So
we've
got
contracts
on
that
are
actively
researching
that
it's
a
problem.
It's
been
a
problem
for
a
while.
It
exacerbates
itself
when
we
have
all
of
this
rain
the
rain
just
filters
into
the
ground
and
begins
inundating
that
sewer
system.
So,
instead
of
just
conveying
sewer
we're
conveying
a
lot
of
stormwater.
U
A
S
U
U
A
C
U
Would
say
we're
in
the
home
stretch,
you
know,
mother
nature's
just
I
can't
right,
I'm
not
going
to
put
on
record
what
I
think
that
would
be,
because
I
can't
predict
what
the
weather's
like,
but
you
know
when
we
get
torrential
downpours,
just
know
that
a
project
every
project
in
the
city
when
that
happens
is
delayed
gotcha,
but
they
are
making
hay
there.
You
know
lawler
constructions.
The
contractor
there
they're
a
very
reputable
firm
doing
a
lot
of
good
work.
U
A
V
I'm
sorry,
mr
president,
kalisman
mr
mayor
diversity,
police
department
has
applied
for
this
federal
grant
since
2010
in
2010,
our
agency
received
161
thousand
dollars.
However,
the
award
for
2021
is
43
483
dollars,
which
will
be
split
between
us
and
the
boeser
parish
sheriff's
office.
The
birch
city
police
department
will
receive
21
741.50
to
be
used
for
our
annual
armed
robbery
task
force,
as
well
as
funding
our
additional
legal
update
and
extra
patrol
at
the
louisiana
boardwalk,
as
well
as
conduct
and
follow-up
investigations
with
sex
offenders.
V
This
additional
funding
does
not
cost
our
taxpayers
a
dime,
it's
a
federal
grant
which
may
be
used
for
local
initiatives,
technical
assistance,
training,
personnel
equipment
supplies
and
contractual
support,
as
well
as
information
systems
for
law
enforcement.
We
feel
this
grant
is
served
better
by
placing
additional
officers
on
the
street
during
the
holiday
season
to
augment
our
patrol
divisions
as
well
as
act
as
a
deterrent
to
those
who
wish
to
prey
on
our
local
businesses,
as
well
as
our
citizens
during
the
holidays.
A
C
V
A
A
D
Adopt
a
resolution
repealing
resolution
number
57
of
2021
and
re-enacting
a
resolution
declare
in
a
moratorium
on
any
purchases
of
city
vehicles,
whether
budgeted
or
not,
with
the
exception
of
vehicles,
to
maintain
fire,
police
and
ems
operations.
Until
legislation
can
be
adopted
to
allow
for
a
policy
for
said
purchases.
A
R
C
C
A
C
A
T
A
That's
when
we
did
initially
we
just
we
didn't.
I
didn't
think
about
adding
an
emergency
exception
for
the
fire
employees
for
emergency
stuff.
Only
you
know
everything
else
will
still
come
to
us
for
be
approved
if
they
need
something,
an
emergency,
whether
it's
a
truck
or
or
whatever
they
can
go
ahead
and
buy.
The
two
chiefs.
D
A
E
L
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
mayor
chandler
and
thank
the
city
council,
looking
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you
and
everyone
here
at
the
city
of
asia.
I
know
everyone
here
wants
what's
best
for
the
city
and
is
dedicated
to
ensuring
the
city
continues
to
grow
and
prosper,
and
I'm
honored
to
have
the
opportunity
to
contribute
to
those
goals.
Thank
you.
Well,.

Carrie

I'm
dealing
with
the
property
standards
office
about
a
piece
of
property.
That's
on
it's
not
on
my
street.
My
street
is
a
little
dead
end
street,
but
on
clover
cloverdale
and
it's
a
it's
a
real
eyesore,
because
I
have
to
look
at
it
going
in
to
my
neighborhood
and
coming
out
of
my
neighborhood
and
that
dress
is
3101
cloverdale
place
and
I've
talked
with
mr
smith.
E
T
T
Know
so
I,
if,
if,
if
the
council
could
look
into
this
a
little
more
deeply
and
maybe
allocate
some
more
money
and
be
be
proactive
with
with
this?
With
these
issues,
I
would
appreciate
from
a
from
a
property
owner
because
it
detracts
no
matter
what
I
do
to
my
property,
no
matter
how
many
dollars
I
spend
on
it.
The
first
thing
you
see
is
grass
waist
high
limbs
down
hedges
25
feet
up
in
the
air.
It
doesn't
do
any
good.
You
know
I
seem
like
I'm
just
wasting
my
money.
R
A
A
U
A
U
U
A
C
E
C
N
E
E
U
B
U
We've
been
issuing
letters
emails
we
meet
every
week
every
other
week
on
the
project
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
things
moving
on
on
task
and
on
schedule.
We
don't
do
that
on
any
other
project
in
the
city,
so
it's
very
intense
a
lot
of
moving
parts.
It's
a
big
project
so
from
from
my
vantage
point
as
much
pressure
as
the
city
can
put
on
the
contractor,
we've
been
pressing
and
they
are
responding.
You
know
the
project
moving
along
it.
It's
starting
to
take
shape
some
of
the
more
larger,
visible
aesthetic
you
know,
milestone.
U
Pieces
of
the
puzzle
are
coming
together
out
there,
but
there's
just
a
lot
of
little
items.
You
know
it's
quite
a
number
of
ball
fields,
it's
a
very
sophisticated,
intense
project
and
we
want
to
make
sure,
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
bossier,
that
when
the
contract
is
complete
and
they
bequeath
that
park
over
to
the
city-
that
you
know,
parks
and
rec
is
proud
of
of
what
they've
got
out
there
and
that
everything
functions
in
accordance
with
its
intended
purpose.
U
B
U
A
R
B
U
U
I
did
get
confirmation
chris
on
the
bc25
and
shady
grove
they're,
doing
a
final
walk
through
on
july,
27th,
okay,
so
pending
punchless
items
and
things
like
that,
the
project
will
be
substantially
complete
shortly
thereafter,
so
they're
closer
than
I
thought.
Okay,
very
good.
So
you
know
just
don't
really
want
to
bore
you,
but
I
felt
like
it
was
important
to
put
some
context
to
the
particular
underground
issue
we're
having
here
at
airline
and
murphy
street.
U
One
thing
we've
noticed
that
you
know
the
red
river
is
now
in
in
a
pretty
steady
decline.
It's
been
doing
that
since
early
june
and
coincidentally
as
the
river
elevations
have
started
to
decline,
this
particular
area
and
other
areas
we've
seen
some
shifting
of
the
soil.
You
know
pavements
and
things
subsiding.
Along
with
that.
You
know,
there's
a
technical
term
for
that.
I'm
not
a
geotechnical
engineer,
but
around
these
parts
we
call
it
running
sand.
U
So,
on
june
5th,
we
were
notified
by
dotd
that
they
observed
a
void
underneath
airline
drive
near
murphy
street.
Originally
we
believe
this
to
be
due
to
a
failure
in
the
storm
drain,
pipe
that
was
in
that
location
because
it
had
sunk
and
a
lot
of
sand
and
debris
had
gotten
into
that
line.
Contractor
came
out
under
warranty
that
was
wicker
construction
and
repaired,
the
storm
drain
line
and
less
than
a
couple
weeks
later,
we
got
another
call
from
dotd
indicating
that
they
were
observing
continued
settlement
in
that
area.
So
we
pressed
the
pause.
U
So,
on
july,
12th
after
meeting
with
the
geotechnical
engineer
and
in
coordination
with
dotd,
we
had
wicket
construction
come
back
and
place
sand
back
fill.
So
we
took
out
the
concrete
panels,
filled
that
hole
in
with
sand,
and
that
was
for
two
purposes:
one
to
make
it
safe.
A
car
can't
fall
off
into
the
hole,
nor
can
a
pedestrian,
but
the
other
was
to
prematurely
load
that
area
with
a
heavy
fill
material.
U
So
we
put
that
load
on.
We've
got
monitoring
points
in
there
and
we're
going
out
with
gps
equipment
regularly
and
determining
if
we're
getting
any
subsidence,
and
I
wasn't
able
to
collect
you
know
any
any
detailed
information
on
that
prior
to
this
meeting
but
visually.
We
have
not
observed
any
additional
settlement
out
there,
so
I
can
provide
more
information
once
I
have
that
in
hand,
the
geotext
will
be
out
on
the
27th
you'll,
see
some
large
soil
boring
rigs.
We're
going
to
take
three
borings
one
there
at
that
location
and
two.
U
U
U
They
have
a
standard
detail
and
I
just
put
it
in
that
packet.
We've
been
working
with
them
to
you
know,
get
some
some
ideas
as
to
how
to
address
this.
We're
not
saying
that's
going
to
be
the
end-all
be-all
way.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
it
properly,
but
the
parish
is
taking
examples
from
south
louisiana
where
they
have
more
perched
water.
You
know
uglier
soils,
you
know
swelling
fat
clays
and
things
like
that
and
they
actually
put
in
a
subsurface
piling
system
to
support
those
structures.
U
So
it's
ongoing
you've,
probably
seen
all
of
the
enhanced
traffic
control
measures
and
things
like
that.
So
we're
pushing
that
to
get
some
get
some
closure
and
and
get
some
good
information
in
so
that
we
can
correct
the
problem,
not
see
that
happen
anymore
in
the
future.
I
hope
so.
Yeah
no
hope
hope
is
not,
of
course,.
U
U
Pilings,
like
this
know,
one
of
bossier
city's
standard
details
we
put
pilings
under
manholes.
You
know
it's
it's
uncommon,
but
it
happens
where
we
have
poor
soils
and
we
don't
want
those
manholes
to
sink
we'll
drill,
piles
and
set
the
manholes
on
top
of
those
piles.
We
have.
I
say
the
city
has
a
standard
detail
for
poor
soils
where
we
build
up
a
pretty
thick
aggregate
foundation
that
that's
underneath
the
pipe
and
then
we
go
from
there
and
matter
of
fact.
That's
what
we
used
in
this
particular
instance.
U
So
there's
theories
out
of
there
well,
if
we
used
all
of
that,
why
is
it
happening?
The
best
synopsis
that
that
I've
gotten
now
that
hasn't
been
supported
by
any
data
from
the
soil
borings
is
the
old
line
when
we
excavated
everything
out
to
make
this
repair
back
in
you
know,
before
february,
it
was
complete
in
february,
had
sunk,
so
deep
that
it
was
the
top
of
the
pipe
was
below
the
required
invert
to
connect
those
manholes
together.
U
It
was
encased
in
concrete
and
possible
to
get
out
of
the
ground,
so
we
shored
everything
up
benched.
On
top
of
that,
set
our
new
pipe
in
and
and
compacted
everything
back
and
there's
some
concern
that
that
action
led
to
you
know
exacerbating
those
those
pumping
soils
and
it
didn't
rear
its
head
until
we
started
getting.
You
know
the
water
in
and
out
of
that
location.
So
it's
just
the
theory
that
hasn't
been
proved,
but
those
heavier
loads.
You
know
when
you
get
into
a
weak
soil
is
are
potentially
what
caused
a
problem.
U
We
went
back.
We
took
sore
borings
when
that
project
was
done
and
there
was
a
fine
strata.
Small
strata
in
there
was
pretty
weak,
but
the
remaining
soils
above
and
below
that
pretty
strong,
but
we
didn't
go.
You
know
70
feet
deep
for
that
that
bore
so
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
what's
happening
deep
in
that
area
that
may
be
causing
this
problem,
because
that
main
air
is
almost
18
feet
deep
in
the
ground.
So
it's
it's
complicated.
G
Good
afternoon
council
you
have
before
you
the
financials
for
the
month
ended
june,
30th
2021.
The
first
page
is
the
revenue
report.
We
are
currently
running
119
percent
to
budget
gaming.
Revenue
is
still
doing
extremely
well
and
is
holding
steady
for
the
third
month
in
a
row.
Sales
tax
is
also
doing
well
up
19.9
percent
compared
to
june
of
2020..
G
The
month-to-month
comparison
is
still
reflecting
covid
from
last
year,
so
the
2021
figures
are
still
significantly
higher.
Page
two
is
the
expense
report.
We
are
currently
running
nine
percent
under
budget.
The
alternative
fuel
stations
are
notably
over
budget,
but
so
is
the
revenue
at
127
percent.
Three
is
the
sales
tax
comparative
report.
As
previously
stated,
sales
tax
revenue
is
up
19.9
percent
compared
to
this
time
last
year.
This
comparison
is
the
tail
end
of
the
cova's
shutdown
in
2020,
so
the
2021
numbers
are
still
higher.
G
G
U
E
U
Currently,
we've
got
137
million
dollars
in
ongoing
design
and
construction
projects.
128
million
of
that
is
currently
under
construction.
Six
projects
in
the
design
are
bit
phased.
20
projects
under
construction
and
seven
subdivisions
enter
nearing
the
construction
phase,
so
walter
o
bigby
carriageway
is
complete
last
one
particular
item,
and
that
is
a
gate
and
everybody
talks
about
covid
and
blah
blah.
Once
we
get
the
gate,
that's
for
edwards
street
installed,
we
will
close
that
project
out
swan
lake
road.
U
They
are
currently
86
percent,
complete
based
on
the
pay
apps
that
have
been
submitted.
If
you've
been
out
there,
they
look
and
for
all
intensive
purposes
complete
less.
Some
final
cleanup
we're
working
on
some
striping
challenges.
Shall
I
say
at
the
intersection
of
mataka
lot
and
swan
lake.
I've
got
some
feedback
from
the
design
professional
of
record
this
evening,
working
with
the
construction
management
firm,
beast
engineering
to
render
a
final
decision
on
what
we
need
to
do
at
that
intersection.
Complete
that
work
and
close
this
project
out
melrose
drive
extension.
That
project
is
complete.
U
Coleman
street
they
have
geared
up
and
are
blowing
and
going
now
on
what
we
would
call
the
second
phase
of
that
work.
Some
of
that
being
storm
related.
We
were
also
working
with
utility
companies
still
working
with
the
utility
companies
to
get
some
of
the
older
power
and
telephone
and
cable
lines
out
of
the
way.
The
only
thing
we
have
left
there,
mr
president,
is
the
removal
of
a
guy
wire.
Everything
else
has
been
pulled
and
they.
U
U
A
S
U
U
Finsley
athletic
ball
fields.
We've
talked
about
this.
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
rehash,
but
73
complete,
88
time
elapsed.
95
days
behind
that
gives
you
a
good
picture
there,
though,
of
the
new
concession
building
kind
of
the
gateway
sign
going
into
the
facility.
You
can
see.
You
know
the
new
backstop
and
dugouts,
and
things
like
that
behind
that
picture.
So
it
is
starting
to
look
good
out
there.
They're
making
progress,
clifford
allman
park
restrooms
a
little
behind,
but
taking
shape
it
got
blocked
coming
up.
U
Public
service
commission
lighting
project,
specifically
berkshire
grocery
arena,
is
really
the
only
component
of
that
project.
That's
left
to
complete
we've
been
working
with
the
public
service
commission
to
recoup
their
portion
that
350
000
portion
of
the
grant
funds
that
the
city
received
we're
going
you'll,
be
seeing
next
council
meeting
a
change
order,
request
to
extend
and
do
a
little
more
lighting
improvement
out
there.
So
we've
been
able
to
stretch
those
dollars
a
long
way.
If
you
haven't
been
out
there,
it
looks,
looks
really
good.
U
Citywide
street
improvement
projects-
this
is
you
know,
one
of
the
major
focuses
of
the
engineering
department
right
now.
All
phases
of
construction
of
this
project
are
under
construction.
That's
including
the
city
citywide
sidewalks,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
of,
I
want
to
say
windfall,
but,
as
we've
been
in
those
projects,
we're
learning
that
the
sub
surface
conditions
aren't
as
bad
as
we
had
planned,
for
we
were
pretty
conservative
with
our
plan.
So
therefore
the
pricing
is
coming
back
to
the
city
and
allowing
us
to
do
more
work
in
these
districts.
U
We
were
out
in
stone
bridge
last
week
and
this
week,
looking
at
some
additional
work
out
there
that
subdivision's
over
20
years
old
we've
been
doing
the
same
in
some
of
the
other
districts.
So
as
we
get
requests
that
come
into
the
engineering
department
for
various
areas,
we
include
those
prioritize
those
and
try
to
get
that
work
completed
on
the
streets.
A
U
U
We've
got
a
what
we
believe
to
be
a
excellent
number
from
the
contractor
out
there
working
to
improve
that
it
will
take
your
district
a
little
bit
more
money
out
of
your
district
to
complete
that,
but
we
believe
just
to
go
in
and
do
the
pavement
only
and
not
address
the
drainage.
There
wouldn't
be
the
right
decision,
so
we've
got
some
ideas,
we'll
we'll
get
with
y'all.
I
can
visit
with
y'all
after
the
meeting.
If
you'd
like.
U
U
So
just
kind
of
a
snapshot
of
work
being
done
there
private
development.
I
got
a
lot
of
that
going
on
st
charles
court
unit,
nine
duckwater
landing
unit,
one
that
particular
project
duckwater
landing,
is
in
an
unusual
lack
of
electricity
mode
there,
so
they've
got
a
lift
station
there.
A
lot
of
the
infrastructure
has
been
put
in
we've
been
working
with
the
developer
on
that
to
come
up
with
some
alternative
solutions
until
the
power
company
can
come
in,
but
you
know
when
they
need
to
issue
certificate
of
occupancies
for
those
homes.
U
I'm
sure
that
that
doesn't
even
scratch
the
surface
for
the
need
for
residential
in
our
area,
project
out
to
bid
or
in
design
highway.
71
lighting
phase
two
working
with
the
engineer
right
now
to
make
sure
we
get
the
right
fixture
selection,
the
south
bossier
miscellaneous
capital
improvements,
those
are
in
design
highway.
71
left
turn
lane
at
golden
meadows
subdivision
we'll
be
getting
an
engineer
to
work
on
the
stages
of
studying
design.
El
pronto
same
with
the
tinsley
drainage,
basin's
improvements.
U
U
Looking
at
left
turn
lane
extensions
for
access
to
I-220
at
benton
road
working
on
the
traffic
signalization
software
upgrades
we've
got
kansas
city
southern.
I
think
that's
an
important.
I
know
that's
created
a
lot
of
log
jams
there
on
hamilton
road.
They
are
to
be
complete
and
open
that
road
by
august,
2nd
so
get
them
out
of
there
and
get
that
north-south
route
opened
up.
U
And
then
we
had
gotten
approval
for
the
installation
of
the
left,
turn
signal
at
airline
drive
and
green
acres
boulevard
going
on
to
innovation
drive.
There
were
some
issues
there.
That
signal
is
installed
and
working.
So
thank
you
all
for
that
and
property
standards.
I
did
take
that
note
I'll
be
getting
with
him
later
on
that
particular
address,
but
they're
blowing
and
going
you
know.
A
R
U
Yes,
sir,
so
some
of
the
areas
where
we're
doing
pavement
improvements,
the
city's
been
back
there
multiple
times
and
we
would
contend
that
those
pavements
never
really
reach
their
their
intended
service
life.
Suppose
your
city
has
a
standard
pavement,
design
kind
of
a
one
size
fits
all
and
in
most
cases
that
works
fine.
But
when
you
get
into
areas
where
we've
got
boulevards,
you
got
heavy
cement
trucks
and
trash
trucks
and
things
rolling
through
there.
U
U
You
know
the
test
of
time,
and
so
we
are
working
to
implement
a
more
conservative
design
in
those
heavier
traffic
areas
based
on
good
geotechnical
engineering
work
and
in
concert
with
the
engineers
developing
those
subdivisions
to
make
sure
that
we
get
pavements
that
won't
need
to
be
repaired.
Once
the
city
takes
ownership
of
those
which
is
you
know
they
go
in
and
after
two
years
they
become
the
cities.
Well,
they
look
brand
new
after
two
years
and
then
by
some
of
these
places
at
the
five-year
mark,
we're
performing
pretty
expensive
repairs.
U
So
one
place
we
we
put
in
particular
just
as
a
matter
of
note,
was
down
on
the
preserve
there,
the
parkway
entrance
we
we
didn't
feel
as
though
that
entrance
got
the
analysis
it
really
needed.
We
worked
with
the
developers
contributed.
The
city
did
50
percent
of
the
differential
and
cost
to
beef
up
that
pavement,
which
equated
to
less
than
four
grand,
but
we
think
over
time
that
probably
will
recoup
itself
to
the
tune
of
400
grand
you
know.
So
it's
a
good
thing
for
both.
You
know
the
citizens
and
the
city's
being.
U
You
know
friendly,
if
you
will
to
the
development
community
that
you
know
they've
planned
these
developments
and
their
capital
resources
based
on
that
typical
standard,
so
the
city
saying
well
maybe
to
stave
off
some
increased
expense
way
down
the
line.
What
would
it
take
to
get
these
pavements
a
little
bit
more
thicker
for
that?
Particular
company
participate,
yes,
sir,
so
I
don't
know
if
any
community
does
that.
