So

served
the
people
I
mean
he's
an
honorable
man,
I've
known
him
for
a
very
long
time.
I've
known
his
family
and
they're
great
people,
and
you
know
jeff
kind
of
he
kind
of
calms
me
down.
Sometimes
I
get
excited,
but
I
want
to
just
appreciate
you
for
all
the
work
you
do.
G
Brother,
you
know
what
I
mean:

jeff,
darby,
eight-term,
bossier
city,
council,
member

always
the
calm

storm,
a
man

moral
conviction
who
strives
to
do
the
best
for
the
citizens
of
bossier
city.
You
are
the
epitome
of
leadership
and
congratulations.
My
friend
thank
you.
H
Good
afternoon
good
afternoon,
council,
president
williams
and
good
afternoon,
everybody,
my
name
is
claire
woods.
I
work
for
the
multi-state
trust,
which
is
an
environmental
response,
trust
that
was
created
out
of
the
tronix
carr
mcgee
bankruptcy
in
2011
to
manage
all
of
tronox
kermikee's
former
legacy
sites.
H
H
Our
we
are
a
private
entity,
but
we
have
a
public
purpose.
Our
goal
is
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment
to
engage
stakeholders.
One
of
the
reasons
why
I'm
here
today
and
residents
and
to
contribute
to
the
community
by
striving
for
community
supported
site
reuses
that
can
contribute
to
jobs
and
taxes,
other
public
assets
and
also
to
support
local
contracting,
where
we
can
in
pursuing
this
work,
we
take
title
to
many
former
carmegee
tronic
sites.
H
We
work
to
cost
effectively
and
efficiently
clean
up
sites
under
epa
or
state
approved
cleanup
plans.
This
site
in
bozier
city
is
managed
or
supervised
under
the
louisiana
department
of
environmental
quality,
and
we
also
have
fiduciary
duties
to
the
benef
to
the
trust
beneficiaries,
which
in
this
case
include
the
louisiana
department
of
environmental
quality
and
eventually,
once
the
sites
are
remediated
in
accordance
with
federal
and
state
laws.
We
work
to
sell
the
sites
to
end
user
or
developer
who's
interested
in
pursuing
reuse.
H
There
are
two
other
sites
that
residents
or
folks
may
know
of
in
berger
city.
One
is
also
a
former
wood,
treating
facility,
the
lincoln
creosote
site
and
then
there's
another
former
superfund
site,
the
highway
7172
superfund
site,
so
just
wanted
to
mention.
So
you
see
on
the
screen
that
there
are
three
different
sites,
the
site
that
I'm
here
to
talk
about
today
and
where
the
work
is
going
to
be
happening
close
to
is
the
site
in
and
highlighted
in,
yellow
along
hamilton
street
by
green
street.
H
So
there's
two
properties
there's
the
main
property
which
is
on
the
the
west
side
and
it's
the
larger
property
and
then
there's
also
the
the
west
property,
which
is
on
the
west
side.
They
straddle
hamilton
road-
and
this,
like
I
said
these,
this
site
is
being
cleaned
up
under
louisiana's
regulatory
program,
which
is
the
recap
program.
H
H
It's
a
little
bit
diff,
so
you
can
see
the
west
property
on
the
left
side
of
the
screen
and
the
main
property
on
the
right
side,
and
the
main
property
was
really
where
they
had
the
main
process
areas
where
all
the
processing
would
happen
and
that's
the
more
contaminated
area
you
can
see
up
to
the
north
of
the
site.
There
are
a
series
of
dotted
lines
and
those
were
ditches
that
the
former
operators
used
to
convey
their
waste
from
the
process
area.
H
So
you
can
see
here,
these
are
the
so
carmigee
began
the
investigation
when
it
became
clear
that
there
was
a
problem
and
then
kermiggie
filed
for
bankruptcy,
so
we
were
appointed
in
2011
and
then
funded
in
2016
to
take
over
the
investigation
from
carmigee.
So
part
of
our
investigation
results
are
based
on
kermiggi's
original
data
and
part
of
a
lot
of
it
has
been
developed
since
2015
when
we
were
funded
to
do
this
work.
H
So
you
can
see
here
that
these
are
the
results
from
zero
to
five
feet,
on
the
property
and
in
the
area
around
the
property.
The
areas
that
are
marked
in
red
are,
above
the
recap,
the
louisiana
department
of
environmental
quality
standards
and
the
areas
in
green.
The
green
dots
are
below.
So
you
can
see
that
the
contamination
is
fairly
widespread
here.
H
These
are
results
from
zero
to
five
feet
below
surface
and
then
what
we're
really
going
to
be
addressing
here
in
the
next
few
months
is
this
area
north
of
the
site,
we're
focusing
on
the
residential
area,
because
that's
where
the
risk
lies?
That's
where
there's
potential
for
interaction
with
with
people.
H
So
you
can
see
the
results
in
this
area,
which
is
now
scott
diggers
and
homes,
so
we're
actually
mobilizing
this
week.
We're
going
to
be
doing
a
six
to
eight
month.
Construction
project
we'll
be
excavating
soil
at
the
surface,
down
to
either
two
feet
or
five
feet,
and
you
can
see
that
excavation
will
go
down
to
two
feet
in
the
orange
in
the
areas
that
are
demarcated
with
orange
and
five
feet
in
areas
that
are
marked
green.
H
So
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
right
now
to
make
sure
that
this
to
minimize
the
impact
of
this
work
on
residents,
we
have,
I
won't,
go
through
each
one
of
these
plans,
but
the
purpose
of
these
plans
is
to
make
sure
that
we
identify
what
the
risks
are
and
take
steps
to
prevent
them.
So
we
go
through
a
really
as
part
of
the,
for
example,
the
utility
identification
plan.
We
go
through
a
multi-state
step
process
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
cause
a
utility
strike.
H
We
also
have
an
air
monitoring
plan,
there's
going
to
be
continuous
air
monitoring
for
residents
and
the
results
are
going
to
be
posted
on
a
message
board
for
residents
in
the
area.
We
have
a
health
and
safety
plan
also
have
a
noise
control
plan.
That's
consistent
with
the
parish
ordinance
on
noise
control.
H
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
to
minimize
the
impact
on
residents
is
sequencing
the
work
so
rather
than
go
in
and
dig
up
randomly
we're,
starting
at
the
top
right
corner
corner
where
it
says,
anticipate
beginning
here
and
we're
going
to
start
along
the
back
side
of
the
residences
in
the
in
the
backyards.
And
then
we're
going
to
the
goal
is
to
truck
the
soil.
That's
going
to
be
removed
along
the
railroad
rather
than
starting
in
the
middle.
Where
the
parking
lot
is.
You
can
see
that
blue
hashed
area.
H
H
We
meet
with
stakeholders,
community
members,
we'll
do
workshops,
sometimes
we'll
bring
in
planners
to
help
us
memorialize
communities,
members,
community
members,
vision
for
what
this
area
could
be
in
the
future,
and
so,
as
part
of
that
you
know,
our
goal
is
to
really
seek
reuses
that
are
consistent
with
what
community
members
want.
What
the
city
of
boston
city
wants.
H
The
other
thing
to
note
on
reuse
is
that
the
reuse,
the
the
options
for
reuse,
will
be
based
on
the
level
of
cleanup
that
we
can
achieve.
So
you
know
to
have,
for
example,
a
residential
development
would
need
to
have
a
higher
level
of
environmental
cleanup
than
you
know,
a
shopping
center,
and
so
that's
all
going
to
be
dependent
on
once
we
get
to
the
site.
H
What
what
the
level
of
cleanup
will
be
that
we
can
achieve,
and
then
one
thing
that
we're
really
looking
for
for
right
now
is
to
engage
residents
and
you
all
on
what
can
happen
in
the
future.
So
we
have
a
community
survey
that
we
share
with
residents.
We've
had
a
series
of
community
meetings
over
the
last
few
months,
august
october
and
then,
as
recently
as
january,
and
it's
helpful
to
hear
from
residents
and
stakeholders
about
what
they
want
from
the
future
through
our
community
survey.
H
It's
also
we're
planning
redevelopment
workshops
for
later
this
year
and
we
would
really
love
to
have
engagement
from
the
city
of
bossier
city
and
city
council
members.
I
know
I've
communicated
with
some
of
you
individually
and
that's
been
very
helpful,
so
we'd
like
to
continue
those
lines
of
communication
and
hear
what
the
city
and
residents
want
for
this
area.
H
And
then,
if
you
have
questions
this
is
my
information.
I'm
claire
woods,
my
number
and
email
are
there
on
the
screen
and
then
our
wework,
under
the
oversight
of
louisiana
department
of
environmental
quality
and
polissen,
is
the
contact
there,
and
I
should
just
mention
before
I
close
that
we
maintain
a
website
for
this
site
where
we
keep
all
of
the
site
documents.
A
lot
of
the
information
that
you
saw
on
the
screen
today
is
on
our
website
all
of
the
presentations
that
we
share
with
the
public
plans
that
we
have
for
the
future.
A
A
H
Yeah,
so
one
of
the
basketball
courts
is
going
to
come
out
we're
going
to
put
another
one
back
in
there
we're
going
to
try
to
upgrade
it.
We've
been
trying
to
solicit
feedback
from
community
members
about
what
they
want.
Do
they
want
a
shaded
area.
Do
they
want
lighting
we've
also
heard
from
folks
they
might
be
interested
in
a
playground
for
younger
children
and
potentially,
instead
of
a
basketball
court.
H
So
that's
something
that
we're
thinking
about
too
there's
also
a
basketball
court
on
the
north
side
of
the
property,
that's
in
really
poor
condition.
So,
while
we're
taking
out
and
doing
the
remediation
work
at
the
south
basketball
court,
we're
going
to
repave
the
north
basketball
court,
so
kids
can
play
there.
While
the
work
is
ongoing.
A
Think
you
asked
him,
you
know
what
about
a
playground,
and
I
thought
that'd
be
a
great
idea,
but
it
was
you
know
I
guess
kind
of
shot
down
because
of
the
maintenance
it
could
be
in
in
the
years.
You
know,
so
anything,
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
stress
anything
that
the
people
that
live
down
there,
what
they
can
come
up
with
you
know,
notify
claire
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
they
can
do,
and
I
know
I
went.
I
thought
it
was
my
district,
but
we
finally
got
that
straight.
I
know.
I
H
There
are
a
lot
of
options
for
you
know,
even
if
the
play,
even
if
we
can't
create
a
playground
on
the
housing
authority
property
potentially
because
of
maintenance,
long-term
maintenance,
there
might
be
other

One
of
the
things
one
of
the
things
that
we
get
from
the

is
residents
ideas,
so
people
have
suggested
so
far,
there's
a
diverse

of

Mr

I
actually
talked
to
the

that
he
firmly
believes
that
we'll
be

that
we
you'll
see
in
our

later
that
we
are
showing
them
slightly
behind,
but
he
has
been
keeping
the

on
the

and
he
firmly
believes
that
this
this

done.
Okay,

J
O
B
O
To
be
honest,
craig
kennedy,
our
chaplain
for
fire
and
police
retired
the
31st
of
last
year,
and
now,
with
the
we
were
ourselves,
the
fire
department
over
2200
calls
for
service
in
2021
and
with
the
death
notifications
and
all
that
with
them
having
over
200
employees
and
us
having
200
employees.
One
chaplain
just
wasn't
sufficient.
O
B
D
L
B
D
A
M
Well,
I
I
do
believe
I
understand
mr
darby's
point,
but
on
behalf
of
the
contract
and
mr
briggs,
I
think,
with
pastor
mark
it's
more
endearing
term
that
we
could
call
him
it's
more
personal,
a
person
that's
boots
on
the
ground
inside
the
station,
more
personal
and
private
contact
with
someone,
a
spiritual
leader
that
he
has
trained
according
to
his
contract
and
his
history.
I
I
think
it
better
serves
us
takes
nothing
away
from
mr
kennedy.
He
was
awesome.
M
B
Yeah,
I
don't,
I
don't
have
any
true
concerns
or
reservations
about
his
intent
as
to
serve
as
chaplain.
I
it
just
seems.
I
don't
know
a
little
odd
that
he
would
use
his
incorporation
to
enter
into
a
contract
as
a
professional
service
as
a
chaplain.
That's
the
only
thing
I
was
bringing
to
light,
but
I'm
not
you
know
anti-pastor
at
all.
B
B
C
P
Good
afternoon
council
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
randy
hollis
he's
the
president
of
owen
and
white.
Public
utilities
has
been
looking
to
get
the
bossier
city
water
model,
updated
for
quite
some
time,
reached
out
to
owen
and
white
to
actually
have
a
presence
here
in
bozier
parish
and
I've
been
very
pleased
with
our
engagement
he's.
P
Q
Q
Q
We
specialize
in
water
and
wastewater
work
and
one
of
the
niches
we
have
is
water
modeling,
and
so
what
we'll
do
is
we
take
water
models
and
we
simulate
existing
conditions?
We
look
at
future
conditions.
We
look
at
extra
demands
that
are
added
onto
the
system
and
we'll
tell
you
if
your
system
can
handle
it
or
not,
or
what
do
you
need
to
do
to
improve
your
system,
and
the
best
analogy
I
can
give
to
give
to
you
is.
Q
We'll
hope
that
we
get
there
we're
going
to
cross
some
obstacles,
we'll
cross
bridges.
I
mean
rivers
will
cross.
The
desert
will
hopefully
avoid
major
cities,
but
is
it
the
most
economical
road
to
build
is?
Was
it
the
best
road
to
build?
The
only
way
I
can
do
that
is
to
do
some
analysis.
Work,
the
same
analogy
holds
true
for
a
water
model.
Q
Q
To
give
you
an
idea,
you
don't
know
much
about
me,
but
I'll.
Tell
you
some
of
the
cities
where
we
work
in
currently
currently
give
you
an
idea.
We
do
the
entire
city
of
baton
rouge.
We
do
all
of
east
baton
rouge
parish.
We
do
ascension
parish.
We
do
everyville
parish
on
the
west
side.
On
the
east
side.
Excuse
me
for
louisiana
water
company.
We
do
new
iberia,
crowley,
eunice
de
quincey,
mansura
and
lecount
as
small
as
it
is
west
feliciana,
parish,
district
13,
the
entire
parish.
Q
Q
Q
I
can
go
on
and
on
one
that
I'm
I
hate
to
tell
you
this.
I
did
mississippi
state
university.
We
did
some
major
24-inch
pipelines
there
and
I
have
a
unique
connection
to
mississippi
state.
I
haven't
been
able
to
work
in
virginia
tech
yet,
but
if
they'll,
let
me
I'm
going
to
go
up
there
to
tell
you
what
what's
our
goal?
Our
goal
is
to
give
you
a
road
map.
Q
G
Q
The
port,
what
can
you
to
get?
What
can
you
do
to
get
water
to
them
immediately?
But
yet
what
about
future
plans
and
there's
some
significant
increases
to
the
port,
and
so,
as
we
look
at
your
model
and
we've
looked
at
it,
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
to
get
the
model
up
to
speed.
It
has
not
been
touched
since
2011.,
that's
10
years,
actually,
11
years,
you've
had
a
lot
of
growth
since
then,
so
we've
got
to
go
in
and
update
that
model,
but,
most
importantly,
we
have
to
calibrate
the
model.
Q
A
lot
of
people
have
models,
but
you
need
to
calibrate
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
it's
no
better
than
what's
on
a
piece
of
paper.
Unless
you
go
in
the
field
and
you
actually
test
the
system
now
zach
reilly
up
here,
has
a
company
he's
been
testing
your
fire
hydrants
does
a
really
good
job
of
it.
I've
seen
some
of
his
information,
I'm
very
impressed
with
it.
We've
got
our
own
cruise.
Q
Q
Calibrating
the
model
using
information
in
the
field
helps
you
find
those
deficiencies
in
the
system,
and
so
it's
a
real
integral
thing
of
us
working
with
zac
to
find
those
things
demands
we'll
have
to
look
at
demands
in
the
system.
What's
happened
in
the
past
number
of
years,
where
the,
where
the
demands,
change
and
model
and
update
that,
and
so
when
we
get
through,
we
hope
we
have
a
calibrated
model
for
the
pial
and,
what's
pial,
I'm
sure,
you're,
all
aware
of
that,
that's
property
insurance
association
with
louisiana.
Q
Q
Q
If
you
have
a
calibrated
computer
model,
you
only
have
to
test
appropriately
between
14
and
42
hydrants,
so
you've
reduced
down
to
about
a
tenth
of
those
that
you
have
to
properly
test
with
upstream
and
downstream
hydrants
that
doesn't
mean
go
out
and
check
the
hydrants.
You
still
need
to
check
the
hydrants.
This
is
just
calibrating
them,
so
it
reduces
that
effort
significantly
if
you
have
a
calibrated
model,
so
I
I
could
I
love
I'm
I
hate
to
I'm
like
ben.
I
love
what
I
do.
I
love
computer
models.
I
love
all
this.
Q
G
G
Q
Their
operators-
and
you
name
it
everything
and
say
when
you
close
a
valve,
I
know
you're
in
an
emergency.
I
know
the
water's
blowing
out
here.
I
know
the
tanks
are
dropping,
but
would
you
please
take
out
your
ipad
and
put
down
in
there
exactly
which
valve
you
closed
and
then
drive
to
the
next
one
and
these
guys
in
the
field
they're
in
an
emergency
they're
trying
to
keep
from
losing
the
water
system?
Q
And
so
what
we
came
up
with
is
a
clothespin
idea,
and
that
is
you
keep
a
bag
of
clothespins
when
you
close
a
valve
write
the
number
the
cloak
of
the
valve
on
the
clothespin
and
put
it
on
the
visor,
and
you
do
that
now
it
sounds
stupid.
I
know
it,
but
it's
simple
and
when
you
get
through,
you've
got
10
clothespins
when
the
event
is
over
and
everything's,
okay
and
you're,
not
freezing
and
it's
february
and
ice
is
all
over
the
place
and
you
can
warm
up.
Q
You've
got
every
one
of
those
valves
closed
right
there.
All
you
have
to
do
is:
go
back
and
grab
the
clothespin
say.
Okay,
third
and
fourth,
I
closed
about.
Let's
go
back
and
open
it
back
up
again.
You've
got
the
exact
list
right
there.
When
you
get
through,
throw
the
clothespin
away,
don't
try
and
reuse
it
they're
too
cheap,
but
that's
that's
the
clothespin
and
we've
got
several
parishes
now
that
do
that
and
it's
it's
so
simple,
but
yet
it
really
is
effective.
Well,.
B
Q
Okay,
that
that's
a
great
question
for
most
of
our
systems
whenever,
whenever
a
new
develop
is
put
in,
we
immediately
put
it
in
the
model,
so
most
of
the
systems
we're
under
contract.
We
keep
going
after
the
fact
to
keep
the
model
up
to
date,
as
you
go
the
same
thing
for
demands.
If
you
have
a
new
business
that
goes
in,
we
need
to
be
up
to
you
know
up
to
date
on
those
businesses,
some
of
them
don't
use
water.
Q
Q
We've
seen
it
from
exxon,
people
have
moved
away
to
the
southeast
and
you
can
see
that
in
the
model.
So
we
recommend
that
you
continue
to
do
that.
You
don't
just
put
it
on
the
shelf
and
wait
that
doesn't
have
to
be
us.
It
can
be
someone
else
we'll
get
the
model
up
to
date,
but
we
recommend
that
you
continue
to
keep
it
up
to
date.
Otherwise,
you'll
be
back
in
the
same
situation
10
years
from
now.
P
Just
to
kind
of
dovetail
into
what
councilman
darby
mentioned,
our
intent
would
be
to
keep
it
live
moving
forward.
We
had
a
previous
company
engaged
to
do
some
of
that
work,
but
it
wasn't
based
on
exacting
calibrated
field
conditions,
so
this
is
an
effort
we
envision
being
something
that
we'll
do
as
an
ongoing
effort.
So
the
hope
is
that
the
money,
if
the
council
so
chooses
to
authorize,
will
get
us
into
this
thing
for
a
couple
of
years,
with
the
main
impetus
being
focused
on
getting
it
all
revised.
P
Looking
at
some
of
our
current
demands
and
getting
everything
calibrated
and
whatever
delta
we
have
left
will
carry
us
into
the
future
a
little
ways
and
then,
when,
when
that
pot
runs
dry,
we'll
come
back
to
the
council
and
look
to
to
up
that,
probably
through
capital
on
an
annual
basis.
But
we
we
really
need
it.
P
Q
Q
Fema
came
down
after
katrina
offered
a
lot
of
money
because
of
transient
surge,
a
water
hammer.
They
believed
that
damaged
a
lot
of
the
pipes,
because
when
they
lost
power
they
said
well,
everything
must
have
just
exploded.
We
did
the
transient
surge
model
in
new
orleans,
which
is
taking
the
hydraulic
model
to
a
totally
different
level.
Looking
for
water
hammer,
we
did
not
discover
the
high
pressure
wave
that
fema
thought,
but
yet
we
discovered
a
low
pressure
wave.
In
other
words,
it
went
to
vapor
and
could
collapse
pipes.
Q
For
that
reason,
fema
funded
new
orleans
to
the
tune
of
about
40
million
dollars
for
two
two
million
gallon
elevated
tanks,
and
so
the
skyline
of
new
orleans
has
been
changed
with
two
large
elevated
tanks
out
by
carrollton,
and
that
was
an
exciting
great
job
for
us.
We
really
enjoyed
working
on
that
one.
A
C
P
Great
question:
councilman
smith,
so
that's
a
big
reason
why
we're
bringing
them
on
board.
So
in
the
last
you
know,
probably
the
last
two
years
the
port
has
been
very
interested
in
having
water
down
south
towards
the
end
of
the
year.
That
seems
to
have
gotten
tuned
up
aggressively
on
on
the
various
demands.
Q
If
you
want,
you
can
put
in
a
48
inch
pipe
but
we're
under
new
regulations
with
dhh
maintaining
a
minimum
of
0.5
chlorine
residual
throughout
your
entire
system.
The
problem
you
can
run
into
is
water
age.
Once
the
water
gets
in
the
pipes,
if
it
stays
there
too
long,
it
can
actually
you
lose
the
chlorine
residual.
So
vigorous
is
great
for
fire
protection,
but
not
good
for
water
quality.
Q
So
we
have
to
balance
both
of
those,
which
is
why
you
really
have
to
look
at
these
models
carefully
to
make
sure
you
can
provide
the
water
demanded,
but
then
we
can
also
run
water
age
calculations
to
see
how
old
the
water
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
in
the
proper
size
pipe.
So
we
need
bigger
for
future,
but
we
can't
get
too
big.
So
that's
that's!
Where
we'll
come
into
play
with
cost
effectiveness
and
also
water
quality.
P
E
L
B
A
O
O
To
the
swat
team,
so
what
this
optic
the
optics
actually
more
expensive
than
the
gun,
it's
a
red
dot
optic,
but
what
I've
seen
out
there
at
the
range
is
so
much
more
accurate.
We're
hitting
steel
plates
at
100
yards
with
a
9
millimeter,
but
the
most
biggest
advantage
to
it
is
I'm
not
focused
on
the
sight
so
much
because
I'm
left
eye
dominant,
but
I'm
right-handed.
So
when
I
shoot
I
have
to
close
one
eye
with
this,
I
don't.
O
That's
not
for
the
swat
team
and
they
can
speak
to
that
as
to
if
one
goes
down,
they
need
to
both
have
the
same
weapon
know
how
to
use
everything
and
all
that,
so
the
cost
of
the
weapon
is
one
thing
and
they're
on
state
contract.
Then
you
got
the
cost
of
the
optic,
then
you
got,
the
swat
team
carries
green
holsters.
I
think
they
look
like
bart
and
then
then,
when
they
work
on
the
regular
shift,
they
look
like
chief
mcgee,
so
they
gotta
have
two
different
holsters.
O
I
think
they're
180
something
dollars
a
piece
and
then
I
don't
know
what
other
things
have
to
do
with
it.
So
when
I
picked
the
amount
we
were
thinking,
it
was
somewhere
around
35
to
40
000,
because
originally
they
were
going
to
take
their
existing
guns
and
get
the
slide
cut.
But
then
we
found
out
it
wasn't
that
much
more
less
than
I
think
a
hundred
dollars
more
just
to
buy
the
new
gun
from
glock,
with
the
slide
already
cut
for
the
optic.
O
And
so
then
we
looked
at
the
boom
town
call
because
when
it
says
other
accessories,
we
had
to
show
up
at
boomtown
and
bring
what
we
have
on
our
rescue
truck
called
a
strong
arm,
and
so
this
is
a
tool
to
open
doors.
It
has
a
lot
of
accessories
with
it.
We
use
it
all
the
time,
but
we're
the
only
ones
that
have
it.
O
A
O
The
ram
is
battery
yeah,
it's
the
e-tool,
that's
all
we
run
now.
It's
e-tools
not
hooked
to
hydraulics
anymore,
but
they
spread
and
cut
it
to
over
220
000
pounds
per
square
inch,
so
there's
no
door
that
could
stop
and
beat
the
door
with
a
ram.
It's
kind
of
old-school.
Now,
when
you
have
this,
it's
not
as
dynamic
and
all
that,
but
there's
no
door
going
to
stop
it.
O
K
M
Yes,
sir,
that's
that's
accurate
and
we're
going
to
with
this
help,
we'll
we'll
introduce
it
first
with
our
tactical
guys
on
our
tactical
team
and
the
rest
of
the
team
will
probably
transition
at
some
point.
The
local
agencies
around
us,
both
sheriff's
offices,
have
all
already
gone
to
it.
Louisiana
state
police
has
gone
to
it.
It's
kind
of
like
an
interesting
industry
standard
at
this
point,
so.
O
M
Right,
you
know
it
lessens
the
liability
of
someone's
swinging,
a
big
piece
of
iron.
You
know
with
the
structure
of
the
back
and
all
the
weight
of
the
equipment
that
they're
wearing
and
then
you
got
a
guy
standing
behind
you
and
then,
after
you
do
get
the
door
open.
You
got
to
figure
out
what
you're
going
to
do
with
this
thing,
so
this
this
too.
We
can
actually
take
it
with
us,
especially
through
commercial
structures,
but.
O
O
K
O
A
K
O
O
A
A
E
A
R
R
R
R
D
K
L
Soon,
as
we
can
get
additional
funding,
we
can
turn
this
loose
to
advertise
for
bids.
So
when
we
got
the
updated
cost
estimate
by
law,
we
didn't
have
enough
money
to
bid
the
project.
So
that's
why
we're
here
asking
for
the
additional
funding?
This
does
have
a
match
for
from
capital
outlay
fbnc,
but
this
will
allow
us
to
get
the
project
out
to
bid
as
soon
as
this
is
a
proof.
K
L
Mean
yeah
we've
seen
some
delays
on
the
light
poles,
but
we'll
probably
have
a
little
bit
more
once
we
get
into
advertisements
and
at
the
pre-bid
a
lot
of
times.
The
contractors
will
tell
us
then,
if,
if
they're,
seeing
any
material
delays,
but
we
have
seen
in
previous
projects
some
material
delays.

E
C
O
O
E
Okay,
I
have
on
the
agenda
executive
session
to
discuss
litigation
issues
concerning
the
city
of
bossier
city
versus
nichols,
lube
center
inc,
it's
case,
number
c
c-162-613
in
the
26th
judicial
district
court,
bossier
parish,
louisiana
council.
If
you
choose
to
go
into
executive
session
in
a
motion,
a
second
and
who's
who
you're
going
to
bring
into
the
executive
session
with
you
and
then
your
vote
I'll.
D
Before
you
make
that
motion,
mr
montgomery,
I
just
want
to
caution
the
council
so
that
the
record
is
straight
and
clear,
and
the
minutes
are
clear
that
it's
going
to
take
a
vote
of
at
least
five
councilmen.
It
has
to
be
a
two-thirds
majority
and
you
have
to
state
the
reason
that
you're
going
into
executive
session
to
discuss
the
pending
litigation
would
be
sufficient
plus.
I
would
respectfully
recommend
myself
mr
neil
irwin,
who
was
also
present,
who
was
working
on
this
matter
and
mr
richard
ray.
A
B
A
To
read
the
names
first
yeah
I'm
going
to,
I
need
reading
names
first,
okay.
