A
A
A
H
Good
afternoon,
I'm,
Sarah,
Rhodes
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
being
the
president
of
the
commission
for
women
of
Bossier
City
this
year.
I
wanted
to
thank
you
guys
for
your
continued
support
in
many
different
ways
of
the
commission
and
of
our
mission
for
those
of
you
that
aren't
familiar
with
that.
What
we
do
is
we
continue
to
try
to
to
do
things
and
provide
resources
and
and
Outreach
events
to
further
the
opportunities
for
Women
and
Children
and
Families
within
our
Bossier
Community.
H
One
of
the
big
events
we
do
every
year
that
I
think
you
guys
are
familiar
with
is
our
inspiring
women's
week,
luncheon
that
we
host
every
year
here
at
the
city
complex,
but
aside
from
that,
our
heart
and
soul
of
the
program
and
what
we
really
put
our
efforts
into
is
our
mentoring
program,
and
we
have
just
started
the
program
this
year
today.
Actually
is
the
first
day
of
the
program,
so
we
have
the
mentees
that
have
been
selected.
H
It's
two
girls
from
each
of
the
Bossier
Parish
High,
Schools,
they're
seniors,
and
so
what
we've
done
is
we've
selected
them.
They've
started
through
the
program
there's
about
12
events
that
they
get
to
participate
throughout
the
year.
So
if
it's,
okay
with
you,
guys
I'd
love
to
introduce
those
girls
to
you
right
now,
so
from
Airline
high
school
with
us
today
we
have
Madison
Scott
Madison,
stand
up,
we
from
Benton
high
school.
We
have
Cami
desidere
and
Caitlin
Stevens
from
Bossier
high
school.
We
have
Ashley
Castro,
Rivera
and
Juliana
Gomez
from
Haughton
High
School.
H
We
have
Keely
Martin
and
Carly
maxi
from
Parkway
High
School
with
us.
Today
we
have
Zara
Khan
and
from
plain
dealing
high
school
we
have
Riley
Russo
and
Jamiah
Thompson
and
those
are
our
mentees
for
the
year.
I
would
also
like
to
take
just
a
second
to
recognize
our
commissioners,
the
women
that
serve
on
the
commission
for
women.
If
you
guys
are
here
and
can
stand
for
me,
thank
you
very
much
for
for
what
you
do
for
the
city.
I
appreciate
you
and
that's
all
I
have
so.
Thank
you
guys
very,
very
much.
A
I
A
A
J
K
J
J
J
A
A
B
President
I
first
want
to
say
that
I
think
comments
that
I
made
at
the
last
council
meeting
have
been
taken
out
of
context,
I,
don't
think,
and
I
I
I
would
encourage
everyone
to
listen
to
the
last
meeting.
I,
don't
think
I
ever
made
the
comment
that
we
should
close
the
center
down
or
not
renew
Mr
Killen's
contract
with
the
city.
What
I've
brought
up
and
I
think
is
Jermaine
to
the
conversation
is
what
we
do
about
maintenance
and
improvements
to
the
facility
moving
forward.
B
I've
looked
at
contracts
done.
Some
research
on
this
looked
at
this
type
of
contract
is
very
common
throughout
our
region.
However,
the
one
thing
that
will
change
between
municipality
to
municipality
is
how
we
handle
improvements
and
maintenance
to
the
facility.
Some
some
cities
just
take
that
burden.
B
Others
have
a
put
it
all
on
the
pro
and
others
have
some
type
of
call
sharing
with
the
probe,
and
so
it
was
mentioned
at
the
last
meeting,
I
Believe
by
Mr
Bohannon,
that
the
contract
that
we
use
was
the
one
formerly
used
by
the
city
of
Shreveport
and
I
believe
that
Mr
Killen
said
that
the
the
closest
comparison
in
our
area
to
this
to
the
North
Bossier
Tennis
Center,
is
corby's.
So
I
took
it
upon
myself
to
reach
out
to
the
city
of
Shreveport
and
get
a
copy
of
corby's
this
contract
in.
B
To
be
fair,
it
is
very,
very
identical
a
little
bit
longer,
but
we
cover
a
lot
of
the
same
topics.
The
biggest
difference
between
the
two
contracts
would
be
on
page
two
section:
2,
subsection
f.
It
is
a
requirement
of
the
tennis
pro
there
to
do
external
fundraising
activities
and
events
for
current
or
future
tennis
facility
renovations.
B
And
if
you
go
down
at
the
very
bottom
of
page,
two
it'll
say
that
the
contractor
shall
pay
50
cents
per
quart
fee
hour
to
be
used
for
maintenance
and
improvements
going
forward
on
the
facility,
and
it
is
my
personal
belief.
This
facility
is
I'm
just
guessing
off
a
memory
here,
roughly
12
to
15
years
old.
B
We
were
eventually
going
to
have
expenses
like
a
new
roof,
an
AC
the
courts
have
to
be
resurfaced,
and
when
some
of
these
expenses
come
they're
going
to
be
costly
and
I
think
it
would
be
advantageous
for
the
city
to
prepare
in
advance.
For
those
expenses,
we
would
be
setting
future
councils
to
Future
mayor
future
tennis
players
up
for
Success.
B
I
mean
50
cents
off
a
of
a
3.50
Court
rental,
which
I
believe
is
the
hourly
rate,
am
I
right.
Mr
Killian
I
mean
that's
one-seventh
of
what
they
bring
in
and
so
just
asking
them
to
set
one
seventh
of
their
profit
aside
for
future
maintenance
and
improvements.
It
sets
the
tennis
center
up
for
Success
the
city
up
for
success,
and
it's
still
it's
still
going
to
be
a
red
line
item
on
our
on
our
budget.
But
it's
then
you
can
have
the
argument
of
quality
of
life
because
we
have
prepared
ourselves
so.
C
Moving
forward,
we
you're
inferring
that
we
do
not
have
financial
success
at
this
time
and
we
don't
prepare
in
future
budgets
five
years
out
what
capital
Ally
is
going
to
be
I'm
I'm
at
a
loss
to
understand
why?
All
of
a
sudden,
you
propose
something
that
we
hadn't
done
before
and
we
don't
do
it
at
other
parks.
C
C
Mr,
we
have
maintained
our
finances.
We
have
balanced
our
budget
since
09,
which
you
weren't
around.
Then
we
had
to
make
the
necessary
Cuts
all
the
fire,
the
police,
all
the
Municipal
Employees.
Everyone
had
to
make
a
sacrifice
from
that
time
forward.
We
ensure
that
we
have
the
capital
needs.
We
have
the
money
for
those
Capital
needs.
C
A
B
To
just
to
follow
up
I'm,
not
saying
that
Bossier
City
currently
is
irresponsible
with
money,
but
there
is.
We
will
not
all
seven
be
sitting
in
these
chairs
forever.
Eventually,
people
are
going
to
come
after
us
and
they're
going
to
make
decisions
that
affect
the
future
of
Bossier.
City
I
am
saying,
let's
think
forward
and
not
just
worry
about
today,
but
what
could
happen
in
the
future
and
prepare
ourselves?
B
It's
the
I,
don't
think
it's
radical
I
think
it's
being
fiscally
conservative
and
saying
that
hey,
there's
going
to
come
a
time
where
a
very
expensive
repair
may
come
and
we
already
have
the
money
to
do
it
and
we
don't
have
to
go
into
the
general
fund
to
get
that
money.
So
that's
my
comments.
Thank.
C
C
We
in
have
set
forth
a
financial
plan
which
has
been
very
successful
for
the
last
13
years,
and
we
and
we
separate
our
funding
for
operational
expenses,
which
is
a
general
fund.
It
nothing
comes
out
of
the
general
fund
that
goes
to
Capital
expenditures,
so
that
everyone
understands
that
we
as
a
council
and
Mr
Williams
and
Mr
Darby,
and
we
have
had
a
budget
committee
annually.
We
look
at
what
our
Capital
needs
are
in
the
future.
C
We
have
certain
funding
set
aside
for
all
of
these
Capital
needs,
whether
it's
roadways,
whether
it's
Parks
and
Recreation,
we're
just
talking
to
coach
and
Louie
a
little
bit
ago
about
the
needs
of
a
parking
lot
at
Tinsley.
We
have
the
funding
available
because
we
do
prepare
for
the
future,
whether
you
want
to
call
it
a
crystal
ball
or
not,
I
call
it
just
common
sense.
B
C
M
A
N
Name
is
Todd
Killen
I
live
at
8310,
New,
Sensation,
Court,
Shreveport,
Louisiana
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
shedding
light
on
the
tennis
center.
A
lot
of
people
don't
know
about
it.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
that
have
lived
on
Benton,
Road
travel
have
been
around
and
don't
even
know
that
it
exists
so
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
talking
about
it
right
now
and
I
appreciate
that
one
of
the
questions
that
I
was
asked
last
time
was
how
many
members
that
we
have-
and
my
answer
was
80.
N
N
I
was
born
in
Shreveport,
but
raised
in
Haughton.
My
dad
has
taught
in
Princeton
middle
and
hot
in
middle
school.
For
over
30
years,
I
graduated
from
Haughton
I
started
playing
tennis
at
the
Bossier
Racquet
Club
Courts
and
sports
over
on
airline,
where
Another
Broken
Egg
is
that's
where
I
grew
up.
When
that
place
was
shut
down,
we
had
to
go
to
Shreveport
to
play
and
I
don't
want
that
to
happen.
I
want
to
be
here.
N
I
hope
that
you
guys
appreciate
what
the
tennis
center
is
right
now,
if
I
can
do
anything
to
answer
any
other
questions.
I
hope
that
the
people
that
are
behind
me,
you
see
that
they
support
me
I,
appreciate
you
guys
being
here
means
a
lot.
Thank
you,
I
couldn't
do
it
without
their
support
and
I
hope.
I
have
y'all
support.
A
N
N
Our
Tennis
Center
is
larger,
requires
more
maintenance
for
sure,
and
it's
a
lot
more
labor
on
us
than
it
is
on
them.
As
far
as
the
fundraising
I
think
that's
great,
we
can
totally
do
that
as
far
as
asking
a
percentage
of
the
fees
where
I
am
right
now,
I,
don't
think
that
the
pro
that
you
would
have
to
work
that
I
don't
think
it
would
be
as
good
as
me
I'm
qualified
to
do
this
job
person
that
would
come
behind
me.
A
O
I
can
draft
the
contract,
as
directed
by
the
city
council,
we'd,
have
to
Mr
Killen
and
I
or
Mr
Killen's
attorney
and
I.
If
he
has
one
or
if
he
feels
that
he
doesn't
need
one
can
get
together
on
the
language.
We
would
have
to
okay,
that
proposed
contract,
of
course,
that
addendum
or
the
amendment
to
the
contract
with
the
city
council,
and
then
we
would
have
to
put
it
to
a
vote.
Okay,.
A
J
N
Glad
you
brought
that
up,
so
we
host
High
School
matches
so
Airline
Benton,
Parkway,
Haughton
and
Providence.
Now
all
host
their
tennis
matches
at
the
facility
they
host
practices
at
the
facility,
we're
actually
hosting
providences
regionals
this
year.
For
the
first
time,
all
that
is
no
fee
to
any
of
the
high
schools.
It's
free
of
charge.
We
don't
charge
Juniors
that
are
coming
up
to
play
that
are
on
the
high
school
team
so
anytime.
They
want
to
come
up
and
play
they're
more
than
welcome
to
Free
of
cost.
A
Q
I
make
quite
an
entrance
yeah.
This
place
hasn't
been
this
busy
since
Larry
Flint
tried
to
buy
a
Carl's
Place
several
years
ago,
just
real
quick,
there's,
three
or
four
of
us
are
going
to
speak
for
all
of
us,
we're
all
here
in
support
of
Killian's
court
and
the
Bossier
Tennis
Center
I'll,
throw
out
a
couple
of
quick
numbers
for
you
to
total
expenditures
for
the
tennis
center
129
thousand
dollars.
Out
of
that,
28
goes
right
back
to
the
city
and
sewer
and
water,
and
not
7.
Q
Q
A
couple
more
quick
numbers
for
you:
the
tennis
center
is
four
percent
of
the
total
Parks
and
Recreation
budget,
and
it's
.0022
of
the
total
Bossier
City
budget.
It's
very
small!
There's
nothing
there
to
gain
I
did
the
quick
math
in
the
bag,
50
cents
per
quart
hour.
You
wouldn't
be
able
to
pay
for
a
new
roof
for
that
place
in
about
20
years,
so
that
has
to
come
out
of
capital
y'all
own.
The
building
y'all
need
to
support
the
building.
Q
I
also
represent
a
tennis
tournament.
That's
held
out
there
every
year
and
it's
been
held
for
seven
years
very,
very
successful
because
of
the
people
behind
me.
We
have
raised
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
through
the
tennis
tournament,
to
build
housing
and
underserved
neighborhoods,
the
Scott
Dickerson
neighborhood
and
old
Bossier,
the
city
of
Bossier,
donated
four
of
the
lots
that
current
homes
sit
on.
Mr
Maggio
donated
one
of
the
lots
that
simple
church
built
the
Molly
Reed
House
zone.
Q
So
it's
been
a
great
partnership
from
the
city
from
the
tennis
center
from
the
tennis
community.
For
this
great
thing,
we've
got
enough
money
to
build
about
three
more
houses
that
are
going
to
be
in
Bossier
they're,
going
to
take
adjudicated
property,
put
them
back
on
the
tax
roll
and
give
a
veteran
a
hand
up
these
aren't
handout.
We
don't
give
the
homes
away.
It's
the
Fuller
Center
of
housing.
Q
They
charge
the
homeowners
exactly
what
it
costs
to
build
over
20
years
with
no
interest,
they
pay
taxes,
they
pay
homeowners
and
insurance,
and
so
it's
a
great
deal.
There's
five
in
the
ground
about
a
four
hundred
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment.
Already
three
more
coming
in
two
thousand
twenty
three
I
would
urge
y'all
to
pass
the
contract
with
Killian's
court
has
presented
and
make
sure
you
pass
the
total
Parks
and
Recreation
budget
as
presented.
Thank
you
thank.

president
and
chair
of
the
Louisiana
tennis
Association
I
chair,
the
group
of
presidents
for
USTA
Southern,
which
represents
27
percent
of
the
country,
serve
on
a
number
of
committees
at
Southern
I'm,
also
in
the
national
awards
committee.
So
I've
got
experience
with
Dennis
from
locally
here
through
the
national
numbers.
R
I
had
a
lot
of
information,
I
was
going
to
go
through,
I
want
to
kind
of
cut
this
down.
Based
upon
what
we've
gone
through.
Here
we
talked
about
the
original
RFP.
Actually
I
brought
the
original
RFP
back
before
Alana
Engelman
was
hired
as
the
original
Pro
from
Shreveport
to
Bossier,
so
I'm
sure
those
are
still
pretty
similar
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
that's
a
model
that
we
have
used
across
the
entire
state
with
rfps.
Now
they
differ
and
we
have
a
different
one.
S
R
Activity
I
was
at
a
meeting
with
Dr
Brian
hayline
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
who
he
is
he's
the
chief
medical
officer
of
the
ncaas
and
Atlanta
about
six
seven
years
ago,
and
he
was
talking
about
health
and
he
said
what
one
activity
will
add
more
years
to
your
life
than
anything
else:
activity,
not
sport.
The
answer.
Anybody
want
to
guess
tennis,
all
right.
How
many
years
do
you
think,
9.7
years
I'm
talking
about
a
recreational
player?
Not
somebody!
That's
out
there
playing
every
day,
but
playing
several
times
a
week.
R
R
It's
a
it's
a
product
that
how
many
sports
have
a
pathway
for
adults
to
get
into
that
have
never
played
not
too
many
I
mean
if
you
want
to
go
out
and
start
learning
to
play
basketball
at
40
years
old,
there's,
not
a
lot
of
places
that
are
going
to
teach
you
from
the
ground.
Up
tennis
has
a
program
called
tennis,
Apprentice
matter
of
fact,
I'd
be
willing
that
there's
probably
a
number
of
people
in
this
audience
that
learn
to
play
tennis
with
that
as
adults
and
it's
this
type
of
programming.
That
really
is
valuable.
R
When
we
go
back
to
the
to
the
RFP
like
I
say
the
needs
in
each
market
differ
and
those
rfps
are
structured
to
each
of
those
markets
and
there
are
different
ones
across
the
across
the
state,
but
it
is
by
far
the
best
way
to
handle
a
tennis
center.
The
old
days
of
having
a
city
employee
go
in
open
the
door,
maybe
they're
an
instructor.
R
R
B
I'll,
keep
it
brief
East,
so
you
say
that
your
organization
handles
a
lot
of
these
different
contracts
and
what
works
for
some
might
not
work
for
all.
Yes,
does
your
organization
have
a
mechanism,
or
is
there
a
particular
person
that
could
look
at
a
city's
contract
and
see
if
it
is
fitting
the
need
of
that
City
if
it
could
be
better
or
make
any
changes
to
it?
Does
that
exist
within
your
organization?
One.
R
Of
the
things
we're
a
non-profit
organization,
one
of
the
things
our
mission
is
to
promote
and
develop
the
growth
of
tennis
everywhere,
and
so
we
try
to
do
that
in
every
method.
We
can
from
offering
advice
on
how
to
situate
your
lights
on
courts,
to
how
to
do
the
rfps
and-
and
we
certainly
matter
of
fact,
specifically
relative
to
the
rfps
there's.
A
gentleman
who's
are
now
executive
director
who
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
experience
in
that?
Yes,
sir.
R
B
Q
B
N
N
G
I
have
a
little
bit
of
experience
with
the
industry,
since
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
Revenue
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
on
the
council
understands
that
the
amount
of
Revenue
that
is
generated
at
that
Tennis
Center
is
directly
related,
a
direct
correlation
between
the
efforts
and
the
expertise
of
Todd
Killen
and
the
team
that
he
has
assembled
to
work
at
that
facility.
There's
no
doubt
about
that
whatsoever.
G
Okay
and
I
would
think
that
any
facility
or
venue
that
a
city
owns
you
would
certainly
want
to
have
as
many
citizens
as
possible
taking
advantage
of
that
facility
and
having
the
opportunity
to
use
such
a
beautiful
facility.
They
keep
talking
about.
Mr
Maggio
mentioned
going
out
there.
How
impressed
he
was
I
can
tell
you
it's
it's
the
nicest
one.
G
It's
the
nicest
public
facility
in
the
state
of
Louisiana,
and
that
was
one
of
the
goals
that
Mr
Bohannon
wanted
to
see
come
to
fruition
when
he
was
involved
in
hiring
a
tennis,
professional
and
and
putting
the
building
in
place
and
the
entire
facility
in
place.
And
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
tournaments
and
Mr.
G
That's
a
direct
result
of
having
that
tournament
and
as
far
as
tournaments
go
the
larger
tournaments.
Sure
Todd
can
can
run
local
tournaments
when
he
wants,
but
the
larger
tournaments
the
state
championships.
Those
type
of
events,
those
are
typically
awarded
to
a
facility
and
a
tennis
director,
based
on
their
expertise
and
the
quality
of
event
that
they
run
in
their
past
history.
G
If
Todd
and
his
team
did
not
put
on
such
fantastic
events,
I
can
tell
you
they
wouldn't
be
awarded
tournaments,
like
the
ones
that
they
have
been
awarded
and
as
far
as
the
the
Katy
Bill
tennis
tournament
goes.
There
is
no
doubt
that
Todd
Bianca
and
the
entire
tennis
professional
team-
that's
assembled
at
the
facility,
has
become
a
true
partner.
In
that
event,
no
doubt
whatsoever,
and
in
fact
you
can
say
indirectly
that
Todd
is
already
fulfilled.
G
I
know
for
a
fact
firsthand,
because
I
work
at
the
event
as
well
Todd
works
all
weekend.
He's
there
I
work
at
the
tournament
desk,
so
I
have
to
get
there
before
the
players.
The
team
that
I
work
with
we
get
there
before
the
players
get
everything
set
up.
I'm
sorry
he's
there
first
one
there
last
one
to
leave:
okay,
all
the
time
and
and
true
consultation,
the
entire
event
I'm,
sorry
Mr
President,
but
also
I-
want
you
to
know
that
in
the
10th
Century
industry
there
is
a
shortage
of
teaching
professionals.
G
T
I
am
Todd
eppler
I
live
at
104
Piccadilly
Circle
in
Bossier,
I,
wasn't
part
of
the
planned
group
I'm.
Just
listening
to
this
conversation
as
the
taxpayer
of
Bossier
City
in
the
first
place,
I
would
say
what
Mr
Smith
is
suggesting
is
what
you
should
be
doing
anyway,
because
I
have
friends
all
over
the
state
that
I
only
see
when
they
come
here
to
play.
Tennis,
those
guys
won't
come
to
play
at
Shreveport.
T
T
Not
doing
that
I
mean
I
literally,
have
people
come
and
say
man
I
hate
it
when
we
have
to
play
a
state
tournament
at
quirobi's
or
at
Piermont,
we
want
to
come
to
Bossier.
These
are
the
best
facilities.
These
are
the
best
courts.
This
is
the
best
facility,
certainly
north
of
Baton
Rouge,
but
including
most
of
Baton
Rouge
in
the
places
where
we
can
play
it's
a
great
facility.
The
one
thing
that
you
guys
are
lacking
is
we
need
more
courts.
T
You
ought
to
be
doing
more
for
us
because
we're
bringing
you
money
so
get
us
more
courts.
Do
better,
don't
try
to
cut
and
squeeze
and
do
things
like
that.
It's
just
it's
frustrating
to
sit
here
and
listen
to
a
thought
that
he
needs
to,
or
the
facility
needs
to
give
more
back
to
the
city.
The
city
will
do
well
to
support
this
facility.
Thank
you.
J
J
Mean
a
lot:
a
lot
of
the
phone
calls
that
I
got
were
people
that
that
travel
from
Shreveport
over
here,
because
they
don't
I'll
just
leave
it.
They
don't
want
to
play
at
quarter
bees,
I'll
I'll
politically
put
it
like
that
on
an
average
night
up
there
do
you
have
all
of
your
courts
full
and
you
have
people
waiting
to
play
so.
N
One
of
the
reasons
when
I
first
started
I
was
keeping
track
with
how
many
people
were
coming
in,
because
the
question
always
came
up
thanks
to
Mr
Epler,
he
was
asking.
Well,
we
need
more
courts,
we
need
more
courts,
so
I
would
keep
track.
Based
on
how
many
people
came
of
how
many
days,
what
percentage
of
days
we
had
in
a
month
that
all
the
courts
were
full
and
it
was
about
30
to
40
percent
of
the
time
where
all
of
our
courts
were
used.
N
So
it's
not
uncommon,
Todd,
Mr,
eppler's
even
said
you
know,
like
I,
can't
go
to
court.
So
if
they
want
a
court-
and
we
have
all
18
of
our
courts
full-
which
is
not
uncommon
in
the
spring
and
during
busy
times
that
they
have
to
go
somewhere
else,
including
Shreveport,
because
it's
usually
the
closest
place
to
go
so
I
would
say
34
of
time.
Our
courts
are
full.

Adopt
an
ordinance
to
declare
that
an
emergency
did
exist
in
the
city
of
Bossier
City,
which
affected
property,
public
health
and
safety
due
to
the
requirement
to
restore
a
24-inch
sewer
main
blowout
along
Meadow
Creek
Drive
at
a
cost
of
nineteen

Capital

funds
first
and
final

Second,.
J
K
Yeah
we
tried
to
look
in
our
crystal
ball
and
figure
out
how
much
we
were
going
to
be
over
at
the
end
of
the
year.
We
know
all
the
funding
that
we
have
currently
budgeted
for
2022
is
exhausted,
so
we're
we're
asking
to
for
a
budget
amendment
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
the
year
and
and
then
we'll
pick
up
in
2023,
where
we've
done
our
best
to
budget
for
for
these
chemical
increases.
K
J
K
Great
questions
we
and
you
you
can
do
a
lot
of
research
and
I
can
go
into
detail.
Chlorine
is
probably
one
of
the
the
more
critical
items
and
we
don't
have
enough
storage
space.
Nor
can
we
store
a
bunch
of
that
on
Prop
premise,
but
EPA
and
the
federal
government
give
the
first
variety
of
refusal.
If
you
will
to
Public
Utilities
to
get
that
now,
we
do
know
other
utilities
that
have
struggled
to
find
it.
K
But
bossier's
been
fortunate
to
have
you
know
the
the
facilities
we
have
to
Warehouse
some
of
that.
But
there
are
chemicals,
other
chemicals
that
we
use
for
cleaning
membrane
and
things
like
that
that
have
become
more
difficult
to
procure.
This
council
is
actually
given
us
some
money
that
once
it
became
available,
go
grab
as
much
of
it
as
you
can
and
put
it
in
your
Storehouse
and
as
as
often
and
as
regular
as
we
can.
We
do
that.
K
A
K
Do
yes,
sir?
The
way
like
chlorine,
for
example,
we
create
our
own
chlorine
Solutions,
so
we're
not
buying
that
in
a
in
a
product
that
has
a
long
shelf
life,
but
we
do
in
some
instances
by
bleach,
which
is
an
aqueous
chlorine
and
that
that
tends
to
lose
its
potency
over
time.
So
yes,
sir,
it's
some
of
those
and,
of
course,
on
those
we
don't,
we
don't
buy
a
bunch
to
let
it
sit
there
and
degrade
seems
to
be
getting
better.
You
know
the
availability
anyway,
but
I've.
You
know
we
were
worried
here
recently.
K
If
you
looked
in
the
news,
I
wasn't
following
it
as
closely
as
the
water
department
was,
but
the
railroad
industry
was
about
to
strike
and
that
was
going
to
whether
people
realize
that
or
not
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
our
ability
to
get
those
resources.
So
we
we
keep
our
thumb
on
it.
You
know
it's
certainly
a
different
world
we're
living
in.
F
W
K
It
starts
next
year,
and
year
is
when
we
have
to
start
that,
and
then
it
has
to
be
refreshed
every
five
years
and
it's
been
a
while
since
bossier's
done
one.
So
it's
part
of
it's
in
the
ordinance
language
there.
But
this
new
act
act
98
of
2021
the
LDH
put
together
they're
requiring
that
for
all
Community

City
properties,
so
that
City
