to
come

contingency
fund
final
reading.
J
F
F
A
I
Did
we
seek
out
other
entities,
or
is
this
just?
How
is
this
negotiated.
A
F
B
And
in
this
outline
budget
you
have
20
000,
for
I
think
it's
like
a
job
fair.
B
L
Actually,
the
from
what
I
understand
the
grant
money
had
to
be
specifically
spent
on
the
venue
and
we
it
was
just
to
do
a
job
fair.
B
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
question
is
hr.
Here
is
hr
here.
Hr
is
not
here
yeah.
I
was
thinking
because
we
we
do
have
vacancies
so
city,
a
city
facility
and
therefore
you
could
consider
some
department
heads
to
look
at
their
vacancies
and
maybe
incorporate
trying
to
get
some
new
hires
at
the
same
time,
you're
trying
to
fill
those
staff
slots
at
the
arena,
but
the
hr
person
is
not
here.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
can.
I
L
A
F
Motion
carries
new
business,
adopt
a
zoning
ordinance
first
and
final
reading,
favorable
by
mpc
petitioner,
julie,
sullivan,
jms
bar
llc
location,
2704,
barksdale,
boulevard,
bossier

louisiana,
and
they
requested
to
amend
the
zoning
classification
from
b2
limited
business
to
b3
general
business
for
an
existing
bar
and
that's
deshay's.
Lounge.
A
D
I
A
M
So
when
the
ownership
changed,
we
discovered
that
the
bar
was
in
a
non-conforming.
Zoning
classification
bars
are
only
allowed
in
the
b3
classification.
So
when
she
came
for
the
change
in
ownership,
we
just
asked
her.
Would
you
mind
just
go
ahead
and
up
zoning
like
you
should
so
it
now
makes
her
conforming
with
the
ordinance
okay.
M
E
A

First
and

reading.
I
Second,
I
had
a
question
on
this.
Angela:

F
N
F
A
F
E
F
F
Motion
carries
introduce
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
bossier
city
state
of

With
first
reading.
N
C
Yeah,
I
do
real
quick
excuse
me.
Do
we
so
I've
gone
back
and
looked
in
previous
years.
C
I
I
I
Oh
anyway,
and
ken
schnick
snyder,
with
sith
song,
we
use
them
as
our
underwriters
and
municipal
advisors
to
tell
us
the
best
way
to
go
about
marketing
these
and,
in
this
case,
refunding
as
well.
C
I
I
C
No,
I'm
I'm
just
certainly
in
my
private
business.
I
understand
that
cheap,
isn't
always
the
best
service.
You
have
to
find
quality
people.
I
was
just
curious
since
we
have
been
using
these
this
company
since
roughly
2007,
if
we've
at
least
looked
to
see,
if
there's
another
company
that
could
at
least
offer
the
same
benefits,
maybe
we
could
save
a
little
bit
more
money.
Maybe
we
can't
just
you
know,
think.
I
K
I
C
C
Just
just
if
there,
if,
if
there
is
a
professional
service
that
could
give
us
the
same
quality
that
we're
getting
currently
and
why
would
you
want
to
risk.
C
Oh
I
mean
I,
wouldn't
I
wouldn't
want
to
risk
it
I
would
just
want
to.
I
would
just
want
to
see
you
know
what
what
another
service
has
to
offer.
You
know.
C
Just
because
something
has
has
worked
flawlessly
doesn't
mean
that
there's
not
you
know
a
a
better
alternative,
sometimes,
and
so
I
was
just.
I
was
just
wanting
us
to
see
if
we
could
think
outside
the
box
going
forward
to
make
sure
that
we're
saving
as
much
money
as
we
can
from
a
fee.
I
F
Motion
carries
introduce
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
issuance
of
not
exceeding
15
million
dollars
of
taxable
public
improvement
sales
tax
refunding
bonds
and
not
exceeding
75
million
dollars
of
public
improvement.
Sales,
tax
revenue,
bonds
of
the
city
of
bossier
city,
state
of
louisiana,
providing
for
the
sale
of
such
bonds
and
providing
for
other
matters
in
connection
there.
With
first
reading.
F
I
F
E
F
B
A
B
F
Motion
carries
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
amanda
nottingham
in
her
capacity
as
chief
administrative
officer
to
make
any
and
all
claims
for
any
and
all
unclaimed
property
of
whatsoever,
nature
and
kind
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
bozier
and
or
its
various
divisions
and
departments.
First
and
final
reading.
E
K
The
of
course,
the
secretary
of
state
has
an
unclaimed
property
division
and
apparently
there
there
are
some
funds.
I
believe
that
are
belong
to
various
departments
of
the
city
of
bossier.
I
know
I
believe
we
discussed
the
fire
department.
K
I
think
there
are
some
other
departments
that
have
some
refunds
and
funds
things
of
that
nature.
This
would
just
allow
miss
nottingham
and
her
capacity
to
make
there's
a
process
by
which
you
have
to
make
and
verify
you're
the
the
entity
which
is
do
this
property,
and
this
would
allow
her.
They
require
a
resolution
from
the
entity
claiming
the
property
that
to
basically
designate
a
point
person.
B
B
Mr
president,
what
is
the
specific
change
in
this.
M
There
was
an
amendment
needed
at
the
state
level.
I
think
the
asset
sheet
that
was
submitted
excluded
some
assets
that
were
on
the
map,
so
we
had
to
change
it
so
that
the
maps
actually
match
the
asset
sheet
in
order
for
the
state
to
approve
the
cultural
district,
so
we
included
some
southern
property
all
the
way
to
the
hamilton
road,
marksdale
and
hamilton
were
included
on
the
cultural
district
map.
So
this
will
help.
You
know,
keep
us
in
line
for
the
approval
at
the
state
level.
B
K
It
does
not,
it
does
not
impact
any
sort
of
collection
of
local
sales,
tax
or
local
property
tax
cities,
tax
revenue,
except
for
certain
exemptions,
for
I
believe
they
call
it
locally
created
arts.
Yes,.
A
A
And
thank
mr
chandler
for
his
service
in
the
past.
How
many
years
you've
been
on
that
thing
now.
E
H
A
N
N
B
A
A
F
E
A
Council
any
questions,
any
questions
from
the
audience.
Please
cast
your
vote.
F
Motion
carries
introduce
an
ordinance
authorizing
mayor,
thomas
h,
chandler,
to
execute
the
attached
sponsorship
guide
signed,
permit
with
dotd
listed,
as
exhibit
a
and
appropriating
funds
not
to
exceed
fifteen
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
from
the
hotel,
motel
taxes
fund
for
replacement
of
signs
relating
to
the
brookshire
grocery
arena.
First
reading.
M
E
I
Well
and
there's
something
that
we're
getting
clarification
on.
I've
spoken
to
senator
peacock
and
hadn't
been
able
to
speak
with
the
city
attorney
yet,
but
there's
some
additional
requirements
that
they
have
placed
upon
us
that
I'm
in
not.
I
am
not
in
agreement
with.
I
don't
have
all
the
details,
but
there's
some
very
egregious
insurance
and
bond
requirements,
which
I
you
know
personally
have
not
seen
and
not
sure
that
we
would
want
to
enter
into
something
once
you
know
in
perpetuity.
A
F
A
Mary
everything
wanna
break
up.
E
E
It's
always
good
the
good
group
of
people
that
work
there
at
the
housing
authority,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
the
council
for
us-
and
I
appreciate
all
the
fire
on
the
police
department
that
went
down
there's
one
fireman
too,
that
went
down
for
the
ida
hurricane
and
they
they
took
care
of
a
lot
of
people
and
kept
people
safe,
and
they
did
a
lot
of
work
moving
a
lot
of
the
debris
out
of
the
way
for
people
too.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
them.
B
President
might
want
to
mention
national
night
out.
Yes,
next.
A
Week
tonight,
if
you
don't
know
where.
E
A
Districts
are
I'm
sure
chief
estas
could
see
how
many
things
we
have
and
go
to
him
and
pick
them
up.
