Bossier City Council Regular Meeting May 4, 2021
A
Grace
that
is
sufficient
yesterday
today
and
forever.
Thank
you
for
those
who
have
interest
in
the
city
business.
We
pray
for
their
families,
we
pray
for
their
loved
ones.
We
pray
lord
for
this
city.
We
pray
for
this
state.
We
pray
for
this
nation.
We
pray
o
father
god
that
you
teach
us
to
walk
before
you
in
obedience.

I
have
on
several
occasions,
probably
at
least
three
times
or
four
called
the
police
to
assist
with
loud
music
in
my
neighborhood,
and
I
just
don't
know
how
many
more
times
you
know
I
can
do
that.
You
know
that
I
won't
become
a
nuisance
to
the
bosu
parish
police
department.
So
I
thought
this
was
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
with
me
living
on
douglas
drive.
I
live
between
benton
road
and
airline,
which
are
two
you
know
main
highways
there
main
roads.
H
So
there's
a
lot
of
cut
through
one
problem
that
I'm
seeing
is
excessive.
Speeding
and
the
music,
also
with
the
cars
that
are
coming
through
cutting
through
the
music,
is
extremely
loud
and
a
really
big
problem
is
the
music
behind
my
house.
My
backyard
backs
up
to
there's
like
an
empty
field
and
on
the
other
side
of
that
is
riverwood
drive.
I
think
so.
It's
probably
riverwood
apartments
and
maybe
some
duplexes
back
there.

Been
deleted?
Okay!
Well,
I
I
just
to
know
for
sure
I
didn't
I
didn't
read
the
new
revision
until
miss
all
brought
it
to
my
attention.
Okay.
Well,
I
appreciate
that
and
my
last
comment
has
to
do
with
the
judgment
of
the
taxpayers.
If
we
were
to
continue
with
an
extension,
maybe
this
hasn't
been
revised.
Will
the
seal
be
6
million.
M
Yeah,
the
last
number
was
different
because
we
were
including
enhancements
within
the
engineering
department.
Okay,
the
city
is
currently
managing
150
million
dollars
of
capital
improvements
with
three
people,
and
we
just
did
not
see
that
that
was
sufficient
enough
to
get
the
products
the
city
deserves
and
demands.
So
we
were
requesting
more
personnel
to
ensure
that
the
money
that
citizens
are
paying
for
is
being
spent
appropriately.
M
A
A
I
would
prefer
one
year
and
I
would
prefer
having
rfps
going
forward
for
for
this.
If
menshak
is,
is
the
company
that
would
be
the
company
that
provide
continuation
of
service?
I
would
be
pleased
with
that,
but
I
think
competition
is
good
for
the
city
and
taxpayers
that
we
do
our
due
diligence
to
make
sure
they
get
the
best
money
for
their
services.
N
So
the
reason
public
law
provides
for
the
absence
of
competition
is
because
it's
something
that's
put
together
as
a
it's
assimilated
with
the
city,
and
it's
unique
in
that.
It
incorporates
a
wide
variety
of
disciplines
that
as
a
whole,
become
described
as
a
as
a
3p
and
so
sure
it
would
be
possible
if
you
could
somehow
take
exactly
what
what
justin
and
his
group
have
done
and
built
over
a
25-year
period
and
and
just
replicated
exactly
and
get
another
one
over.
N
N
I,
I
can't
think
of
a
reason
why
we
wouldn't
you
know
if
somebody
comes
up
and
you
ask
them
to
do
a
job
and
they
do
it
and
they
do
it
extraordinary
and
they
save
you
money
and
they
have
all
of
the
talent
and
everything
that
is
that
you
want.
Why
would
your
first
inclination
to
be
well?
You
know,
I
think,
let's,
let's
look
again,
let's
look
at
something
else
that
that
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
and
doesn't
doesn't
answer
to
others
who
might
be
interested
in
doing
such
a
thing.
N
M
E
M
C
A
I
think
you
know
I
don't
disagree
with
my
co-council
member
regarding
your
unique
professionalism
that
you
bring
to
the
city
as
management
of
the
utilities,
but
I
think
when
you
have
professional
in
your
field,
just
like
we
took
a
risk
on
you,
there
are
others
out
there.
We
could
take
a
risk
on
if
they
were
to
propose
what
you
guys
propose
and
that's
what
I've
been
saying
all
along
when
we
chose
your
company,
mr
haydell,
it
was
based
on
a
risk
it
we
never
had
a
company
do
privatization
before.
A
E
E
We
were
looking
at
having
to
raise
water
rates
again,
which
we
certainly
want
to
stay
away
from
that
at
all
costs.
We
had
already
raised
it
several
times
through
the
years
and
we
were
able
to
sit
down
brainstorm
with
mr
haydel
and
manshack
and
come
up
with
something
that
is
very
unique
and
that
we've
worked
on
through
the
years
to
become
more
and
more
efficient.
E
E
Everyone
on
this
council
is
aware
that
this
was
something
that
I
sat
down
with
them
and
we
brainstormed
and
we
came
up
and
we
visited
with
the
the
council
and
the
administration
and
it
was
born
and
and
it
has
truly
been
a
game
changer
for
the
taxpayers
of
bossier
city.
So
with
that
said,
I'll
yield
the
floor.
I
I
I
We
have
to
spend
money,
yes,
but
it
saves
us
money
in
a
long
time
in
the
long
term.
So
that's
why
I'll
be
voting
for
this,
because
it's
the
best
thing
for
the
taxpayers
and
I
think
they're
going
to
get
a
better
product
and
and
we'll
be
able
to
keep
our
our
water
rates
as
they
are
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
So.
E
K
Three
fires
of
that
year,
the
fire
hydrants,
didn't
work.
They
were
reported
by
utiliser
in
october
the
year
prior
and
they
still
weren't
fixed
the
last
fire
was
in
march
of
that
year.
When
we
responded
to
it
called
the
hydrant.
The
stem
was
not
working,
the
hydrant
didn't
work,
so
we
had
to
call
another
truck
in
and
lay
a
supply
line.
Once
we
lay
400
foot
of
five
inch.
We
can't
just
pick
it
up
that
truck's
out
of
surface,
so
we
had
to
call
in
another
truck
to
come,
lay
the
line
for
us.
E
So
and
but
we
were
being
assured
that
they
all
were,
you
know,
being
repaired
and
they
were
functional
and
so
forth.
I
recall
the
meetings
that
we
had
here
with
our
then
utility
department
and
since
that
time
we
won't
belabor
that
point.
But
I
just
wanted
for
the
record
to
show
that
in
specific
instances,
and
now
we
can
say
that
under
the
contract
with
manshack,
the
fire
hydrants
for
the
most
part,
all
work
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
we
went
from
a
class
two
to
a
class.
One
is.
K
Would
always
go
down
to?
They
would
test
the
same
hydrants,
one
off
of
scott
or
green
street
in
front
of
that
school.
That
one
was
always
just
dribbling
out
and
we
went
to
the
same
ones.
Every
time
you
can
look
back
every
five
years
where
we
got
our
pill
inspection
they
go
to
the
same
one.
We
go
in
front
of
the
church
on
john
wesley.
That
was
another
bad
hydrant.
He
knew
exactly
where
to
go,
but
now
we
don't
have
those.
So
we
got
a
class
one.
E
Which
means
for
everyone-
that's
here
today
and
all
the
taxpayers
in
bossier
city,
that
your
insurance
rates
are
lower
for
your
homeowners.
Businesses
pay
lower
insurance
rates
when
you
go
from
a
class
two
to
a
class
one
and
it
cost
the
taxpayers
nothing.
All
we
did
was
put
in
the
service
all
of
the
hydrants
and
brought
up
to
pressure
what
we
should
have
been
doing
all
along,
and
we
attribute
that
to
the
manshack
public,
private
partnership
and
the
team
that
they
put
together.
C
K
Us
that
there's
a
hydrant
they
bag
it.
So
we
know
going
in
that
the
hydrant
doesn't
work
and
then
within
20
there's
about
a
24-hour
turnaround.
They'll
get
another
email,
letting
us
know
the
hydrants
back
up
and
running
so
we'll
mark
it
in
the
alarm.
Room
dispatch
won't
tell
us
about
it.
They'll
tell
us,
that's
a
bagged
hydrant,
but
the
most
important
part
is
we'll
know
going
in
when
it
has
a
bag
on
it.
We
know
what
that
means,
not
bagging
them
and
they
being
broken
is
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen
for
us.
