Good
afternoon
council
president
council
members,
mr
mayor
lee,
jeter
senior
400
columbia,
circle,
bossier
city,
louisiana,
I'm
going
to
read
all
of
my
questions
because
I
have
several
with
regards
to
the
proposed
map,
and
then
I
will
give
each
of
the
council
members
and
to
mayor
a
copy
of
my
questions
under
the
new
proposed
plan.
Three,
it
appears
that
three
of
the
five
districts
will
decrease
in
minority
flag
population
that
delusive
voting
strength
of
the
minority
black
population
in
those
three
districts.
F
Have
you
prepared
a
plan
that
does
not
decrease
the
percentage
of
minority
or
black
voters
population
in
the
three
districts?
And
if
so,
when
can
the
public
view
the
plan
in
that
proposed
map?
What
is
your
retrogressive
plan
since
the
minority
black
population
will
decrease
in
the
proposed
plan
in
most
of
the
new
districts?
F
Will
that
open
would
that
plan
open
up
the
questions
by
the
justice
department
as
a
regressive
plan
under
the
old
plan
in
the
new
proposed
plan?
District
1,
where
I
live,
has
considerably
more
population
than
any
other
district.
This
dilute
the
votes
of
all
of
the
population
of
district
1,
not
just
a
minority
population.
F
Can
we
see
an
interactive
plan
and
when
I
said
interactive
plan,
what
I'm
saying
a
map
side
by
side
of
the
current
proposal
and
the
other
proposed
plan,
and
can
we
move
the
district's
line
to
for
district
3
to
include
all
of
sun
city
and
savannah
place?
And
what
would
that
look
like
if
we
move
those
lines
and
what
chance
would
that
make
to
the
overall
population
and
would
that
make
district,
1
and
district
3
more
in
balance?
F
For
their
review,
if
we're
able
to
have
it
in
hypothetically
and
we're
able
to
look
at
a
map
or
interactive
map
and
move
lines,
say
from
this
street
to
that
street
and
to
be
able
to
see
in
real
time
side
by
side
what
that
would
look
like.
I
think
the
public
would
have
a
better
idea
of
how
their
voting
strength
is
going
to
change
as
well
as
how
their
district
is
going
to
change,
because
we
know
some
voters
are
going
to
be
in
a
different
district.
A
H
A
D
H
H
You
can't
use
the
current
plan
to
show
how
the
changes
are,
because
the
population
variation
is
so
huge
in
part
of
the
city.
So
the
the
plan
that
submitted
the
plan
2
is
an
attempt
to
bring
all
of
those
populations
into
sync
and
also
to
address
not
only
total
population
but
18
plus.
So
you,
as
I've,
said
before.
It's
not
registered
voters,
but
it
is
voter
age
population
that.
H
You
do
have
something
talking
about
putting
sun
city
and
savannah
place
in
I'll
need
to
get
engineering
data
from
the
city
and
look
at
the
boundaries
of
what
those
neighborhoods
are,
because
if
you
don't
have
defined
neighborhoods,
you
can't
find
the
edges
to
them.
So
I
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
simply
look
at.
H
There's
two
ways
to
do
it:
one
is
what
the
city
says
the
edges
are,
and
the
other
is
to
look
at
what
people
believe
to
be
their
edges
and
in
exposure.
We
do
that
by
subdivisions
typically,
but
if
you've
got
something
that
you
want
to
show
me
where
you
know,
you
used
to
think
that
the
sun
city
boundaries
in
savannah
place
I'd
like
to
see
them.
We
could
simply
come
here
and
and
draw
the
edges
in
then
I'll.
Do
the
demographics
on
them
and
see
how
that
works.
F
F
But
also
when
we're
looking
at
the
numbers,
it
just
appears
that
if
we
simplify
this
for
the
voters
and
just
look
at
the
majority
white
population
and
just
group
all
of
the
other
minorities,
when
you're,
looking
at
the
maps
and
you're
trying
to
go
through
all
of
this
data
that
you're
giving
us
it
can
be
confusing
and
and
you've
got
to
kind
of
decipher
it.
We
need
to
kind
of
put
this
in
a
position
for
the
average
voter,
in
my
opinion,
that
the
average
voter
can
understand.
F
It
says:
let's
look
at
the
minority
population
and
group
all
of
the
other
minority
population
together
and
just
have
those
two
sets
of
statistical
data
instead
of
having
all
these
breakdown,
because
it's
confusion
and
and
when
you're
trying
to
make
sure
the
numbers
are
accurate.
It's
very
very
confusing.
F
The
only
other
thing
I
would
ask
for
the
benefit
of
the
voters,
if,
if
we
could
put
the
current
maps
side
by
side,
the
current
map
in
the
proposed
map,
so
the
voters
would
be
able
to
see,
because
obviously
some
voters
that
may
be
in
one
district
are
going
to
be
in
a
completely
different
district.
And
it's
very
difficult.
Even
when
I
printed
out
an
11
by
19
sheet
to
see
where
the
boundary
lines
are
drawing.
But
I
believe
the
voters
should
need
that.
I
would
appreciate
having
that
information.
D
H
I
A
I
D
J
I
Good
afternoon,
mayor
chandler,
it's
good
to
see
all
of
you.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
today.
I
saw
many
of
you
in
february
at
the
february
city
council
meeting,
where
we
shared
information
about
the
project
that
we're
working
on
over
on
hamilton
road
and
I'm
going
to
ask
for
mrs
miss
mcgraw's
assistance
pulling
up
our
slide.
So
I
can
walk
you
through
a
few
updates
about
the
construction
project.
I
This
relates
to
the
former
tronix
car
mcgee
wood,
treating
facility
which
is
on
either
side
of
hamilton,
road
on
the
west
side
bordering
green
street
and
on
the
east
side,
and
so,
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
we're
gonna.
I'm
just
gonna
give
a
quick
site
overview
talk
about
the
ongoing
work.
That's
that's
going
on
near
the
site,
talk
about
our
community
engagement
efforts
and
then
we
can
leave
a
few
minutes
for
some
discussion
next
slide,
please
so
the
site
location.
I
You
can
see
here
that
the
formertronics
kermigee
site
is
outlined
in
yellow,
there's
a
west
property
and
a
east
property,
and
then
there
are
two
other
superfund
sites
in
bozier
city
that
are
important
to
know
about
in
the
north,
the
lincoln
creosote
superfund
site
and
then
down
below
in
pink
the
highway
7172
superfund
site
next
slide.
Please
so
I'll
give
a
little
background
about
the
wood
treating
operations
the
the
facility
operated
from
1930
to
1987..
I
The,
like,
I
said,
there's
a
main
property:
that's
about
26
acres
and
a
west
property.
That's
about
six
acres.
The
west
property
is
the
property,
that's
on
the
west
side
of
hamilton
road
and
it's
being
remediated
or
cleaned
up
under
recap,
which
is
the
louisiana
state
environmental
regulation
that
sets
the
cleanup
standards
for
our
work.
I
There
are
different
contaminants
of
concern
here.
The
on-site
contaminants
are
creosote,
benzene,
polycyclic
aromatic
hydrocarbons
off-site.
We
have
contamination
as
well
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that
got.
There,
but
it's
doesn't
include
creosote,
so
the
more
concentrated
contamination
is
on
site
and
offsite.
We
have
polycyclic
aromatic
hydrocarbons.
I
So
you
can
see
them.
This
is
a
historical
area
ariel
of
the
operations
of
the
site,
and
you
can
see
the
west
property
on
the
left
side
of
the
screen.
It
was
understood
that
the
west
property
was
mainly
used
for
storage
of
clean
wood.
Later
we
we
we
had
that
understanding
from
chromage's
historical
documents,
but
we
later
discovered
based
on
some
sampling
data,
that,
in
fact
there
is
contamination
on
the
west
property
as
well.
I
On
the
east
property.
You
can
see
the
area
on
the
right
side
of
the
image
where
there's
kind
of
a
concentration
of
orange
lines.
Those
were
the
drip
tracks,
so
they
would
treat
wood
in
that
area
and
allow
the
the
process
waste
water
to
you
know
the
process.
Waste
water
would
drip
off
of
the
treated
wood
and
you
can
see
if
you
can
scroll
down
a
little
bit,
miss
mcgraw,
no
sorry
up
yeah!
You
can
see
a
little
bit
further.
I
That
was
a
storm
water,
ditch
and
the
operators
of
this
facility
used
that
ditch
an
unlined
ditch
to
allow
their
processed
wastewater
contaminated
processed
wastewater
to
flow
off-site
in
unlined,
ditches,
north
and
then
to
the
east
to
where
the
railroad
tracks
are
now.
There's
that
green
dotted
line-
and
there
were
also
a
couple
of
other
ditches,
there's
a
purple
line
and
some
blue
lines.
Those
are
all
representative
of
historical
ditches
that
were
used
to
offload
processed
wastewater.
I
They
filled
the
ditches
and
graded
the
area
and
built
public
housing
on
top
of
the
contaminated
property,
and
you
can
see
here
from
1961
the
aerial,
with
no
housing
in
the
yellow
circle
and
in
1969
you
can
see
scott
dickerson
homes,
which
is
currently
operated
owned
and
operated
by
the
beaujolais.
The
housing
authority
of
berger
city
was
being
constructed
next
slide,
please.
I
We
actually
had
a
site
tour
this
morning,
a
site
visit
this
morning
where
we
walked
around
with
residents
and
looked
at
the
excavation
process
and
talked
about
the
steps
that
we're
taking
to
mitigate
the
impacts
on
residents,
and
I
want
to
be
clear.
This
is
a
massive
project.
There's
a
lot
of
workers
out
there
and
residents
are
impacted,
we're
doing
our
best
to
minimize
those
impacts.
I
We
have
a
number
of
precautions
in
place,
but
this
is
affecting
people's
lives
and
we're
moving
as
quickly
and
as
safely
as
we
can
to
continue
the
progress
here,
we're
going
down
to
two
feet
below
ground
surface
in
some
areas
and
five
feet
below
ground
surface
in
other
areas,
and
that's
all
dependent
on
the
sampling
data
that
we
have
from
the
site.
Investigation.
I
A
health
and
safety
plan,
an
excavation
plan,
a
utilities,
identification
plan,
dust
and
odor
control,
air
monitoring
all
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
this
work
safely
and
that
residents
are
protected
during
the
course
of
the
work.
All
the
plans
are
based
on
industry
standards
and,
like
I
said,
and
not
just
industry
standards
but
feedback
from
residents
and
the
specific
circumstances
of
the
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
at
this
at
this
property.
I
I
The
purpose
of
the
health
and
safety
plan
is
to
protect
the
residents
during
the
course
of
the
work
and
identify
potential
risks.
We
communicate
with
residents
as
much
as
we
can.
We
have
three
message
boards
on
site
and
we're
constantly
updating
the
message
boards
with
information
about
what's
happening.
I
I
I
I
This
is
some
information
about
the
air
monitoring.
Like
I
said,
we
have
seven
air
monitoring
stations
around
the
work
area.
We
do
offer
a
one-on-one
one-on-one
review
of
air
monitoring
data
with
residents
if
they're
requested,
if
they
requested-
and
we
have
had
residents-
request
that
type
of
engagement,
let's
and
for
the
worker
safety.
In
the
beginning
of
the
work
for
the
first
few
weeks,
the
workers
wore
personal
air
monitoring
equipment
to
make
sure
that
the
levels
were
safe.
I
Next
slide,
please
so
just
a
little
bit
more
about
air
monitoring,
you
can
see
the
red
locations
on
the
map
are
the
fixed
locations
for
the
squares?
Are
real-time
air
monitoring,
so
those
that's
data
that
comes
in
immediately,
the
the
blue
triangles
are
adjustable
locations,
so
we
move
those
locations
depending
on
where
the
excavation
work
is
ongoing.
So
this
map
that
you're
seeing
right
here
is
from
friday.
I
I
We're
also
spraying
odor
control
on
areas
that
where
we
are
observing
odors
and
we
take
our
contractors,
take
copious
notes
about
observance
of
odors
and
that
that
information
actually
accompanies
the
air
monitoring
data
that
the
residents
receive
next
slide.
Please,
so
you
can
see
the
work
here
is
in
the
photo.
You
can
see
an
example
of
the
trucking
operation.
I
We
use
smaller
hauling
vehicles
on
site,
just
because
there
are
families.
There
are
kids
in
the
area.
We
we
don't
want
to
have
those
big
trucks
in
there
the
area
is
really
tight
for
working,
so
we
use
the
smaller
trucks.
Take
the
material
that
we're
excavating,
bring
it
to
the
site,
which
is
just
down
dickerson
street
offload
it
there
and
put
it
into
bigger
trucks.
All
of
our
trucks
are
tarped
all
the
trucks
with
with
contaminated
material.
I
I
I
We
do
newspaper
advertisements,
we
have
a
community
survey,
we
maintain
a
website
and
we
usually
do
press
releases
for
our
move
for
our
meetings
to
get
residents
to
come
out
with
all
this.
It's
really
difficult
to
engage
the
people
who
are
directly
impacted
by
this
work.
We
do
do
door-to-door
canvassing,
but
it's
difficult.
People
have
really
busy
lives
and
dealing
with
this
type
of
issue
isn't
front
of
mind
for
anyone.
We
are
at
the
suggestion
of
members
of
naacp
beaujoir
city
and
paris
chapter.
I
I
Let's
see,
I
think,
that's
what
I
had
to
share
with
you
all
today.
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
information,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
I'm
so
glad
to
be
here
today
and
share
information
with
you.
We
want
to
engage
all
of
you
as
much
as
possible.
If
any
of
you
want
to
come
out
to
the
site
and
come
look
at
the
work,
that's
being
done
or
meet
with
residents,
we
would
be
happy
to
facilitate
those
types
of
meetings
or
events.
A
A
I
I
K
K
I
I
So,
and
originally
we
planned
for
february
through
august
and
we're
still
in
the
august
time
frame,
we're
running
about
two
to
three
weeks
behind,
but
we're
still
hoping
to
get
it
done
in
august
we
were
there
some
areas
on
the
property
that
are
now
completely
back
filled
and
we're
now
just
waiting
for
the
topsoil
to
come
in.
There
are
two
basketball
courts
on
the
property
and
one
of
them
we're
completely
rebuilding
and
we're
expecting
that
to
be
done
in
early
july.
We're
hoping
that
it'll
be
finished.
K
I
I
K
A
D
E
A
K
L
We
believe
the
roof
really
needs
to
be
looked
at
and
rehabbed
in
order
to
prevent
the
work,
that's
being
done
now
having
to
redo
it
in
the
future
and
that
was
developed
and
discovered
during
the
bidding
process.
With
some
of
the
with
some
of
the
contractors
that
were
bidding,
that
we
found
some
of
these
additional
areas,
and
that
was
why
we're
asking
for
the
additional
funds.
L
This
will
be
an
additional
it's
not
gone
yet
we
have
not
entered
into
a
contract
with
the
contractor,
yet
we
were
trying
to
get
the
additional
funds,
so
we
can
get
the
full
amount.
I
believe
that
500
000
was
for
design.
Construction
testing
whole
whole
nine
yards,
and
this
would
be
so.
We
can
do
the
original
waterproofing
efforts
which
were
around
the
original
building
and
then
to
do
any
additional
waterproofing
efforts
on
the
north
near
the
roof
lines.
K
L
D
Motion
carries
adopt
an
ordinance
authorizing
mayor,
thomas
h,
chandler,
to
execute
the
attached
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
state
of
louisiana,
louisiana
department
of
transportation
and
development,
louisiana,
department
of
culture,
recreation
and
tourism,
the
bozier
parish,
police
jury,
the
caddo
parish,
commission,
the
city
of
shreveport
and
the
city
of
bossier
city
final.
Reading.
B
C
I
think
that
language
would
have
to
be
added
to
the
document
itself
to
to
the
memorandum
of
understanding
to
the
actual
contract.
Okay,
that
if
any
entity
which
has
executed
the
agreement
either
fails
to
execute
the
agreement
or
in
the
future,
fails
to
live
up
to
their
responsibilities
or
breaches
their
obligations.
C
I
think
it
I
think
the
ordinance,
as
is
it's
fine.
I
think
that
what
we
would
have
to
do
would
be
just
to,
let
me
add
the
language
to
the
to
the
to
the
contract
or
the
document
itself,
and
then,
if
it's
time
sensitive,
we
can
put
it
on
the
agenda
for
thursday.
If
we
have
a
quorum
present
and
vote
on
it,
then-
or
we
can
just
wait
to
the
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting.
C
B
A
G
C
C
K
I
mean,
as
as
written
in
this
mou,
I
mean
we're
talking
about
providing
adequate
number
of
trash,
can
receptacles
liners
emptying
some
garbage
and
other
little
maintenance
around
there.
I
would.
I
would
ask
that
this
council
that
this
project,
this
new
four-lane
bridge
that
is
in
such
dire
need
for
everybody
in
caddo,
parish,
shreveport,
beasure,
parish,
beasure
city,
that
we
get
a
new
four-lane
bridge
that
will
help
drastically
both
parishes
in
both
cities-
growth.
K
It
does
not
seem
like
a
a
big
undertaking
for
the
city
for
us
to
do
that
if
it
means
getting
a
new
150
million
dollar
four-lane
bridge
and
if,
if
I'm
wrong,
correct
me,
but
I
really
think
the
longer
that
we
hold
up
signing
this
is
the
money.
Is
there
right
now,
but
the
money
can
be
gone
in
the
blink
of
an
eye
and
we've
worked.
You
know
years
12
years.
K
E
Mr
mr
jacobs,
by
passing
this
today,
we're
not
actually
signing
a
contract
or
an
agreement
or
we're
just
saying
this
is
our
understanding
of
what
it's
going
to
be
like
moving
forward.
If
you
take
it
into
the
state
park
system.
This
is
what
we're
willing
to
do
correct,
and
this
isn't
the
formal
contract
that
we're
binding
the
city.
C
A
E
A
D
B
So
this
city
council
cannot
afford
to
go
by
what?
If
we
need
to
have
it
in
writing
that
their
obligation
is
locked
in
as
well
as
our
obligation
going
forward
things
change,
the
administration
might
change,
the
elected
officials
might
change.
We
have
to
cover
the
citizens
that
we
represent
by
making
sure
that
we
don't
obligate
ourselves
to
something
that
we're
the
only
one
on
the
hook.
B
Everybody
needs
to
have
a
dog
in
the
hunt.
So
that's
why
it's
so
important
to
make
sure
we
have
it
in
writing
and
to
the
lead
to
the
fifth.
Is
I
mean
that's
just
a
few
days
from
here
and
I
just
think
that's
real
critical
going
forward.
The
city
has
never
owned
a
bridge,
and
here
we
are
becoming
a
custodian
of
a
bridge
eventually,
because
we
are
we're
on
the
line
here,
not
that
I
have
anything
against
that.
It's
just
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
reliability,
it's
not
the
only
liability,
that's
covered.
B
K
Are
we
still
in
discussion
on
this
yeah?
I
mean,
I
don't
think
it's
to
my
understanding
that
we're
going
to
own
the
jimmy
davis
bridge,
if
this
is
there,
that
is
still
in
the
consideration
after
the
bill
that
was
just
passed.
I
think
by
senator
peacock
that
the
state
park
can
take
something
can
make
something
a
state
park
that
is
less
than
250.1
acres,
I
believe,
is
what
they
require
for
a
state
park.
K
That
she's
got
some
more
info
on
this,
but
I
think
that's
that
is
basically
just
from
the
the
discussions
that
I've
been
in
on
and
the
phone
calls
that
that
this
is
just
a
you
know:
it's
good
business
on
our
end,
moving
forward,
showing
that
we
will,
if
it
comes
down
to
it,
empty
some
garbage
cans
and
stuff
like
that
for
what
they
what
they
were
asking
for.
But
I
do
understand
what
what
mr
darby
is
saying.
K
Yeah
I
mean
that
that
is
all
that
is
all
still,
that
is
all
still
moving
forward,
and
I'm
not
going
to
speak
on
that.
I
think
when,
when
we
let
audience
talk
about
this,
I
think
that
is
that
is
all
still
moving
forward.
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
whole
reasons
that
senator
peacock
did
his
bill
and
it
was
passed
so
that
the
lieutenant
governor
could
take
that
in
as
a
as
a
state
as
a
state
park.
E
C
M
M
If
we
get
to
that
point,
so
we're
waiting
on
the
governor's
signature
for
that
I
spoke
to
lieutenant
governor
billy
nungesser
last
week
face
to
face
because
it
was
our
final
meeting
of
our
little
task
force
that
I
was
a
member
of
and
went
and
spoke
to
him
about
this
and
told
him
where
we
were
on
getting
the
signatures
from
all
four
municipalities
and
that
we're
waiting
for
today's
ordinance
and-
and
he
said,
I'm
ready
to
accept
it.
I'm
ready
to
sign
it
and
move
forward.
M
So
this
is,
this
request
came
from
the
lieutenant
governor
saying
that
if
he
took
the
bridge
on
as
a
state
park
that
the
municipalities
would
work
together
to
pick
up
trash,
I'm
the
one
that
spoke
to
him
directly
on
the
telephone.
When
he
told
me
that
I
would
assume
all
liabilities
and
everything
and
can
the
local
folks
help
pick
up
trash,
we
can't
pick
up
trash
for
a
half
bridge
and
a
half
bridge.
My
understood,
that's
that's
work
because
we
don't
want
a
half
trashy
bridge
and
a
half
clean.
F
M
I
think
my
understanding
is
that
what
we
were
looking
at
is
that
one
quarter
would
be
a
year.
One
municipality.
The
second
quarter
would
be
another
one
etcetera
we're
still
several
years
away
from
that
point,
as
I
have
said
repeatedly
when
I
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
about
this,
the
eye
on
the
prize
has
been
the
terminology.
I've
used
is
a
four-lane
bridge
and
to
get
that
four-lane
bridge
built.
M
We
know
what
the
secretary
secretary
wilson
has
said
to
us
that
the
bridge
is
not
going
to
be
torn
down
and
because
they
have
shared
with
the
federal
government
that
it
is,
a
usable
bridge
can
be
refurbished,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
that
was
several
years
ago.
We
can
have
a
two-lane
refurbished
and
a
two-lane
brand
new
bridge,
or
we
can
have
a
four-lane
and
a
pedestrian
and
so
bringing
on,
and
so
then
I
heard
the
rumors
lieutenant
governor
said
that
he
would
take
it
on
a
state
park.
M
So
I
asked
do
you
want
me
to
call,
or
do
you
want
to
call
when
I
was
told
about
the
rumor?
They
said
you
call.
I
said:
okay
I'll
call
him,
so
I
did
and
been
talking
to
him
about
it
ever
since,
and
I
have
had
conversations
directly
with
mayor
chandler
with
butch
ford,
mayor
perkins,
dr
wilson,
at
the
cadre
parish
and
all
thus
far,
everyone
has
committed
verbally
and
most
all
have
signed
saying
that
they
would
move
forward
with
this.
M
What
it
takes
to
for
us
to
move
forward
to
getting
that
four
lane
bridge.
Obviously,
mr
darby
you're,
absolutely
correct.
We've
got
a
few
more
steps
that
we
have
to
move
forward
with,
but
this
is
one
of
the
first
things
that
has
been
asked
for
by
the
lieutenant
governor
to
assume
full
liability
of
that
jimmy
davis
bridge
and
when
the
refurbishment
of
that
bridge
starts
for
a
linear
bridge
linear
park
state
park,
our
four
lane
bridge
will
be
built,
and
I
can't
tell
you
what
conversations
will
be
had
then.
M
I
would
assume
that
additional
more
detail
as
we
get
closer
to
that
part,
additional
more
detailed
conversations
will
be
had
today,
they're.
Just
looking
for
the
partnership.
Will
you
assist
in
this
capacity?
They
didn't
ask
for
liability
issues.
They
asked
for
trash
pickup,
and
I
am
mr
darby.
I
completely
concur
with
you.
M
I
do
a
lot
of
partnerships
myself
within
the
community,
amongst
chambers
and
economic
development
agencies
and
all,
and
we
we
know
that
sometimes
there
can
be
some
challenges
in
those
areas,
but
we
continue
to
work
forward
for
our
community,
and
I
know
that
our
south
boston
residents
have
been
looking
for
this
for
a
long
time.
Our
goal
is
not
at
all
to
put
any
more
additional
dollar
burden
on
the
city
or
the
parish,
and
I
understand
that
there's
some
some
things
that
are
going
to
have
to
change
around
our
brookshire's
grocery
arena.
M
For
these
things
to
happen,
and
and
that's
and
I
am
making
the
assumption
because
I've
not
everybody,
tells
me-
I
have
a
copy
of
it,
but
I'll
send
it
to
you.
But
I've
still
not
seen
it,
but
on
that,
if
it's
a
two
lane
and
a
two
lane,
there's
still
going
to
be
some
appropriations
and
some
things
that
are
going
to
have
to
happen
either
way
again.
M
A
A
E
E
That
was
the
first
roadblock
is.
Can
we
get
it
to
that
point
because
it
because
he
did
not
seem
convinced
that
that
bill
would
pass
the
the
legislature?
And
so
I
think,
that's
where
he
was
speaking
from?
Is
this
bill
is
not
going
to
pass.
So
we
need
to
focus
on
the
cities
having
the
liability,
which,
I
think
we
all
agree
was
was
not
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city,
but
now
that
now
that
that
bill
has
passed
again,
we're
waiting
for
it
to
become
law.
M
If
this
does,
because,
if
it
does,
because
we
who
knows
this,
is
one
step
to
continue
the
conversations
to
get
a
four
lane
and
in
the
meeting
that
we
had
with
the
lieutenant
governor,
he
was
like
dude,
and
I
think
some
of
you
were
there.
Do
you
want
a
four
lane?
Is
that
what
you
want?
And
the
answer
was
yes,
so
we
all
know,
I
think,
we're
all
in
agreement
that
the
four
lane
bridge
is
what
we
want.
M
So
this
is
just
one
step
to
get
there
if
we,
if
and
when
we
get
to
a
state
park
linear
park,
that
brings
in
other
entities
as
well.
The
convention
and
tourist
bureau
is
because
it's
a
tourism
attraction
so
there's
there
can
be
other
players
that
we
can
work
towards
in
the
future.
We
just
have
to
get
these
first
steps
started,
and
I
know
with
secretary
wilson,
giving
us
deadlines
and
all
we're
fighting
against
inflation
prices
going
up.
We
know
how
that's
all
just
hurting
us
in
in
those
costs.
So
we're
that's.
A
We
can
pass
it
today.
We
can
wait
till
thursday.
The
question
hasn't
been
answered,
yet
that's
why
I
think
this
is
ridiculous
to
today
that
we
have
to
do
it
because
there's
not
even
been
a
decision,
there's
so
many
decisions
yet
to
be
made
again,
I'm
okay
to
pass
it
today.
Mr
darby
wants
to
put
a
yes.
M
A
C
Would
say
we
could
technically?
No,
it
would
be
an
amended
contract
legally
speaking,
that
would
have
different
language
in
it,
which,
according
to
the
city
charter,
a
contract
has
to
be
passed
by
or
by
ordinance,
and
therefore
that
requires
a
first
reading
and
a
second
reading.
And
if
you
amend
the
contract.
M
C
It's
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
it's
basically
a
pledge
to
commit
to
a
more
binding
agreement,
more
detailed
agreement
in
the
future.
That's
what
a
memorandum
of
understanding
is
so
again,
I
would
defer
you
know
to
their
legal
counsel,
patrick
jackson,
at
the
police,
jury
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
My
opinion
on
that
would
be
no.
This
is
this:
is
our
memorandum
of
understanding
with
these
various
entities
and
we're
going
to
add
some
language
in
there?
C
M
B
A
C
M
Yes,
caddo
parish
commission
has
signed
when
I
spoke
to
mayor
perkins
last
week,
while
I
was
at
baton
rouge,
I
spoke
to
him
on
the
phone.
He
indicated
that
he
thought
he
had
already
signed
it,
so
I
communicated
with
butch
and
he
was
going
to
confirm
and
get
all
of
that.
So
it's
really
it's
down
to
the
the
two
cities
is
what
we're
we're
waiting
on,
but
mayor
perkins
had
thought
he
had
already.
He
was
like.
M
I
know
I've
seen
it
and
I
signed
it,
but
I
I'm
not
in
the
offices
I
have
to
I'm
just
trying
to
put
it
together
so
that
then
the
lieutenant
governor's
office
and
the
governor's
office
I
mean
the
secretary
wilson
and
lieutenant
governor
billy,
nunn,
guest
or
secretary
wilson,
can
go
okay.
This
is
your
state
park
bridge
after
we
get
this
four
lane
bridge
and
here's
our
agreement
just
trying
to
move
the
steps
forward.
Thank
you.
G
G
C
Well,
if
I
will
say
this
that
if
the
bill
passes
the
governor
signs
it,
it
does
not
veto
it
and
if
the
lieutenant
governor
takes
it
takes
the
legal
requirements
to
take
it
into
the
state
park
system
once
it,
which
is
that's
the
condition
in
the
memorandum
of
understanding,
then
once
that
occurs,
then
the
state
of
louisiana
through
the

we
we
are
talking
about
the

Nothing
will
be
start
construction
on
that
until
after
the
four-lane
bridge
is
constructed,
the
jimmy
davis
bridge
correct,
with
all
the
meetings
that
we
have
been
in,
and
the
question
has
been
asked
by
me
every
single
time
the
jimmy
davis
bridge
will
remain
open
and
operational
during
the
whole
construction
of
the
four-lane
bridge
until
they
get
to
a
certain
point
that
the
jimmy
davis
bridge
traffic
will
have
to
be.
You
know
diverted
around
or
something
like
that
at
that.
That's
something.

I
I
understand,
mr
williams,
but
with
that
for
today
would
that
suffice
and
take
care
of
your
concerns
for
the
future.
Again,
I
understand
that
what
it
means
to
partnership
with
other
folks.
I
do
it
all
the
time
and
it's
sometimes.

Nope,
the
fire
station
was
just
a
fire
station.
Ems
supplies.
We
decided
to
add
a.
I
don't
want
to
say
golf
car,
because
it
may
not
be
a
golf
cart,
but
we
put
it
in
the
capitol
to
respond
in
the
east
bank
district.
If
I
run
a
fire
truck
through
there,
I
shut
the
whole
east
bank
district
down
for
an
ems
call.
The
ambulance
can
still
respond.
N
The
problem
is,
if
I
don't
forget,
to
take
the
aed,
the
lucas
device,
the
heads
up,
cpr
the
rescue
pod,
any
of
that
equipment
needed
to
work
a
cardiac
arrest,
because
my
guys
forgot
to
take
it
off
one
truck
to
the
other.
I
think
it's
a
liability
issue,
so
you
equip
that
golf
cart.
The
same
way
you
equip
that
fire
truck.
We
do
the
same
thing
here.
We
have
a
ladder
truck,
but
we
put
our
equipment
on
a
sprint
car.
A
N
We
had
some
issues
with
the
towers
they
put
the
power
lines
up
when
they
expanded
coleman.
We
weren't
prepared
for
that.
So
we're
working
through
that
right
now
getting
faa
approval
to
get
up
over
the
power
lines
to
shoot
to
the
tower
at
the
parking
garage
to
get
back
to
city
hall.
So
it's
just
some
little
things.

Can
we
delay
this
to
get
the

information
that
that
I
brought
forth
earlier?
I
don't
believe
we're
in
a
time
situation,
like
some
other
parishes,
where
we
have
to
make
a
decision
on
this
map
today
or
this
week
or
this
month
we
don't
have
a
upcoming

I
just
think
to
give
us
time
to
give
the
public
time
to
review.
Some
of
the
additional

would
be
appropriate,

when
we're
looking
at

Good
afternoon
council
mayor
chandler,
you
have
before
you
the
financials
for
the
month
ended.
May
thirty
first,
twenty
twenty
two
page
one
is
the
revenue
by
fund
report.
The
city
is
currently
running
twenty
nine
percent
over
budget,
the
emergency
medical
service
fund
revenue
increased
compared
to
may
2021
due
to
a
larger
ambulance
alliance
payment
in
the
current
year.
J
J
Page
two
is
the
expenses
by
fund
report.
The
city
is
currently
10
under
budget
ems
fund
expenses
increase
compared
to
may
2021
due
to
the
larger
ambulance
alliance,
payment
and
transfer
to
the
ems
capital
projects
fund.
The
alternative
fuel
stations
are
over
budget,
but
that
revenue
is
as
well
at
189.

Is
the

utility
report
net
operating
income
after
debt
service
for
may
2022
has
decreased
15
percent
compared
to
may
2021
current
year.
To
date,
income
has
increased
34
over
prior
year
and
is
49
under
budget
on
a
rolling
12-month
basis.
Current
net
operating
income
is
down
14
percent.
L
L
I
had
about
140
day
ad
to
that
project,
along
with
that
technology
and
communications
package
through
louisiana
tech
to
help
them
get
under
wraps
each
way.
Phase
two
we've
got
some
concrete
being
poured
there,
they're
right
on
schedule,
showing
them
slightly
behind,
but
pretty
much
on
schedule.
Getting
ready
to,
I
believe,
shed
road
on
the
east
side
has
been
reopened
up
to
the
tracks,
they're
still
working
on
the
cro
on
the
west
side
of
the
tracks.
L
L
Some
of
the
bigger
items
left
is
basically
site.
Paving
everything
else
is
just
minor
in
comparison:
east
bank
fire
station,
it's
really
shaping
up
nice
out
there,
they're
working
on
finishes
inside
and,
as
chief
mentioned
working
on
some
additional
conflicts,
but
shouldn't
take
too
long.
I
think
we
right
currently
we're
sitting
at
an
august
13th
completion
date
ltri,
as
stated
earlier
added
about
140
days
to
their
contract,
which
now
puts
them
about
27
days
ahead
of
schedule.
L
It's
if
you
haven't
been
inside
the
building.
It's
really
really
nice.
It's
something
to
see
something
that
we
should
be
very
proud
to
have
inside
bozo
city.
The
parking
lot
outside.
We
issued
a
substantial
completion
last
thursday
had
the
barricades
moved
this
week.
So
this
is
now
open.
It
connects
all
the
way
back
out
to
benton
road.
So
if
anybody
wants
to
take
the
new
route
out
or
in
whichever
way,
you're
coming
feel
free,
I've
got
a
couple
of
punch
list
items
to
go
some
trees
to
be
planted.
But
we
are
complete
with
this
project.
L
Private
development
going
on.
We
still
got
as
mentioned
earlier,
11
subdivisions
turning
dirt
pouring
concrete
asphalt,
water
sewer
storm
drains.
A
lot
of
contractors
are
moving,
taking
advantage
of
the
dry
weather
that
we
have,
and
then
our
list
of
projects
in
design
are
out
to
bid
some
of
the
most
notable
ones
being
highway.
L
Lighting
phase
2
on
71
south
should
be
having
a
pre-construction
meeting
set
up
sometime
next
week
with
the
contractor,
as
well
as
we're
going
to
put
give
some
invites
to
dotd
make
sure
everything's
taken
care
of.
On
that
end,
we
also
had
a
pre-construction
meeting
on
the
tinsley
drainage
basin
improvements
last
week,
contractors
getting
ready
to
move
in
on
that
as
well
and
another
one
that
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
traffic
signal
at
innovation
in
swann
lake.
We
have
that
getting
ready
to
send
out
to
for
proposals,
so
we
can
get
that
under
construction.
A
B
L
I'm
going
to
say
it
depends
on
the
situation
and
how
the
project
was
bid
out.
Typically,
there
are
with
the
way
the
contracts
are
done,
especially
through
the
city.
Is
they
have
a
time
frame?
They
have
a
window
of
and
items
that
they're
supposed
to
complete
inside
that
window
and
that
locks
them
into
that.
L
If
additional
work
is
added
or
time
is
increased,
based
on
the
client's
request
that
a
client
be
in
the
city,
they
can
include
that
in
that
change
order
request,
but
to
just
arbitrarily
come
back
and
request
increasing
fuel,
I'm
going
to
also
defer
to
the
city
attorney.
I
do
not
believe
they
can
just
come
back
and
ask
for
the
increase
in
fuel.
