Okay,
Council

item
number,
eight
ceremony

matters
and
recognition
of
guests.
Do
we
have
students
or
are
you
here,
your
students?
Thank
you
for
being
here.
We
welcome
you
to
the
city
council.
This
is
the
city
council.
That's
the
mayor!
On
that
end,
that's
the
city
clerk,
that's
the
City
attorney.
Would
you
like
to
stand
and
give
your

hiding
over

Our
next
item
is
new
business,
adopt
a
zoning
ordinance
first
and
final
reading,
favorable
by
NPC
with
conditions
petitioner,
Eddie
Hackleman,
total
general
contract
in
LLC
location,
1054,
Beverly,
Street,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana
request
a
zoning
amendment
to
change
zoning
from
rld

low
density
to
B3
for
a

Expansion
for
Good
Times
Billiards.
B
A
Motion
made
by
Mr
Hammond
II
Mr
Smith
discussion,
Council.
E
Motion
carries
introduce
an
ordinance,
allocating
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
for
construction
of
a
new
sanitary,
sanitary
sewer,
Force
main
along
Viva
drive
and
Shed
Road
to
provide
Sewer
Service
to
customers
within
this
area.
Using
this
sewer,
Capital
contingency
fund
to
cover
all
project
costs
first
reading,
so.
M
N
This
is
a
good
value
added
option.
I
mean
the
the
ideal
solution
would
be
to
place
the
gravity
sewer
main
all
the
way
down
that
road,
but
you're
talking
seven
plus
figures
for
that.
So
much
like
we
have
a
force
main
up
north
of
town,
where
we
allowed
commercial
customers
to
tie
into
that
Forest
Main
and
get
to
bossier's
infrastructure.
This
will
be
very
similar
to
that
we're
putting
in
the
line
and
providing
a
mechanism
for
these
businesses
to
connect
to
that
Main
and
and
get
City
service.
This.
N
E
M
O
And
it
seems
this
was
just
an
oversight
in
between
the
transition
of
the
former
Administration
in
current,
the
agreement
never
got
executed
with
the
former
Administration
and
so
I've
been
working
with
them
to
get
it
updated
to
reflect
mayor
Chandler's
name.
So
we
can
get
that
taken
care
of.
A
Very
good
anyone
like
that.
Thank
you.
Okay,
we
had
a
motion
and
a
second
on
this
one.
The
mic
is
open
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
on
this
item.
Please
got
your
vote.
A
Emotionally
by
Mr
Montgomery,
second
and
Mr,
Hammond
and
Mr
free
any
discussion.
E
B
M
P
I
N
As
well
they're
not
generally
favorable
to
the
city,
those
are
old
agreements.
At
the
time
I
mean
we
we
serve
as
how
many
signals,
83
83
signals
and
the
contract
amount
that
we
get
the
amount
we
get
from
dotd
on.
That's
about
170,
some
odd
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
you
can
do
the
math,
not
much
money.
N
We're
working
with
dotd,
currently
on
a
communication
upgrade
to
those
signals
and
there's
significant
costs
associated
with
that
and
on
and
on
it
goes
so
it's
timely,
councilman
Montgomery.
We
we
have
a
meeting
with
the
parish
to
review
their
agreement
and,
at
the
same
time,
because
they're
bringing
on
new
signals
within
the
parish
and
wanting
to
make
sure
that
they
get
that
documented,
properly
and
and
we'll
be
doing
the
same
with
dotd
as
it
relates
to
those
signals
so
we'll
be
getting
with
the
city
attorney.
Once
we
have
some
something
put
together
on
it.
I
N
F
I
N
Yes,
sir,
and
on
the
street
lighting,
it
is
bizarre,
but
yes,
any
Lighting
on
the
dotd
routes
are
the
responsibility
in
general
of
that
entity.
So
we
pay
the
power
bills.
We
pay
to
maintain
them.
Bossier
does
an
excellent
job
in
keeping
those
up,
but
the
ones
along
I-20
are
complicated,
to
say
the
least,
to
work
on.
We
have
to
have
a
traffic
control
plan
permits
from
dotd
and
on
and
on.
N
M
I
mean
I
agree
that
they
need
to
have
lights
there,
so
people
can
see
what
they're
about
to
hit
yes,
sir,
so
we
definitely
need
lights.
N
M
P
If
we,
this
is
using
some
of
the
additional
funds
that
was
used
in
I
think
it
was
ordinance
77
to
22,
and
it
includes
changing
out
a
lot
of
some
of
the
windows
along
the
existing
the
two
buildings.
While
the
contractor
got
in
doing
a
lot
of
the
waterproofing
measures,
they
realized
that
the
windows
were
a
source,
so
we're
going
to
replace,
remove
the
Windows,
replace
windows
caulk
it
seal.
It
repaint
it
and
try
to
get
that
building
water
tight.
D
B
Think
she
said
the
roof
above
the
office.
She
said
the
roof
above
the
office.
P
M
F
E
D
I
I
believe
there
was
two
or
several
hundred
people
here
when
there
was
a
question
as
DeForest
the
contract
for
Mr
Killen,
and
at
that
time
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
regarding
expanding
the
courts
and
I
believe
Mr
rosenbach's
been
working
with
Todd
I
think
Ben
can
probably
bring
well
and
Coach
as
well.
That.
N
So
the
Genesis
of
this
to
councilman
Montgomery's
Point
did
center
around
the
perceptive
need
to
expand.
The
number
of
Courts
we
have
out
at
that
facility
took
a
look
at
really
in
visiting
with
Mr
kilen
on
what
that
would
take,
how
much
money
that
would
be.
We
put
together
a
plan,
Soup
To,
Nuts
parking,
other
infrastructure
and
things
like
that.
I
met
with
Parks
and
Rec.
N
We
only
had
a
week
from
the
last
council
meeting
to
this,
so
it
does
seem
hurried,
that's
not
our
intent,
but
the
intent
was
to
get
this
measure
before
the
council.
I
don't
want
to
put
a
bunch
of
energy
into
design,
and
things
like
that
until
we
feel
like
we've,
got
a
comfortable
appropriation
of
funding
to
pursue
that
project.
So
they're
and
these
gentlemen
can
speak
to
the
need
better
than
I
can
but
there's,
in
my
opinion,
a
need.
Otherwise
we
wouldn't
be
recommending
this
project
for
y'all's
consideration.
M
N
M
D
Let
me
have
to
kill
anybody
yeah.
If
you
don't
mind,
Ben
is
this:
well,
is
this
just
for
we
expanded
for
tournaments?
Are
we
expanding
for
because
we
don't
have
enough
people
to
play
on
both?
Is
it
going
to
be
clay,
courts,
concrete
cords.
H
I'm
sorry,
my
name
is
Todd
Killen
I
live
at
8310,
New
Sensation
Court
in
Shreveport
Louisiana
the
need
for
this
for
our
six
clay,
quartz
Hydro,
quartz,
specifically,
meaning
that
the
clay
courts
are
sub-irrigated
where
most
of
the
clay
courts
that
you
build
are
like
your
lawn,
where
the
water
will
be
above
ground.
H
We're
asking
for
six
clay,
because
one
our
demographic
is
asking
for
a
lot
of
our
players
are
55
and
over
and
salt
clay
courts
are
also
known
as
soft
quartz,
so
they're
easier
on
your
body.
So
my
dad,
for
example,
in
his
70s
he's,
got
arthritis
in
his
knees.
H
He
can
play
on
a
hard
court
one
day
a
week,
but
on
a
clay
Court
he
can
play
five
or
six
days
a
week,
so
that
allows
us
to
Corner
the
market
on
Clay
courts
where
we
can
host
55
and
over
65
and
over
7
over
tournaments.
We
already
host
a
70
and
overtime
at
65,
but
we're
hoping
to
get
more
of
those
with
the
addition
of
these
courts.
It
would
make
us
the
second
largest
facility
in
Louisiana
and
according
to
the
executive
director
of
the
LTA,
the
Louisiana
tennis
Association,
it
would
be.
H
It
would
make
us
a
the
premier
public
facility
in
Louisiana.
What
it
means
for
a
lot
of
the
city
of
Bossier
is
when
bids
go
out
for
state
and
sectional
tournaments.
They
look
at
one.
How
many
courts
do
you
have
what's
the
quality
of
the
facility,
how
many
sites
are
being
used
so
a
lot
of
times
when
we
host
state
tournaments?
We
are
using
our
facility
and
some
facilities
in
Shreveport.
H
If
we
have
more
courts
we
will.
It
will
increase
the
odds
greatly,
that
we
can
host
alone
state
tournaments
and
sectional
terms,
which
means
people
are
staying
in
our
hotels
or
in
our
restaurants.
They're
gambling,
our
casinos,
so
that's
a
big
benefit.
A
lot
of
our
programming
is
limited
to
72
players
because
the
amount
of
Courts
we
have
so
we
have
to
cut
that
off.
So
a
lot
of
our
programs,
like
tennis
Apprentice,
where
we
start
new
players,
we
can
expand
that
24.
H
So
we're
meeting
more
of
the
demands
for
Bossier
citizens
for
health
activity,
quality
of
life,
so
I
think
it's
an
important
deal
for
us.
It
was
one
of
the
things
that
was
initially
built.
There
was
a
demand
for
clay
courts
and
we
keep
filling
it
so
people
I
would
say
30
to
40
percent
of
the
time
we
have
our
courts
full
and
so
we're
turning
down
people.
You
know
I,
would
say
half
the
time
at
least
so.
D
I
Again,
there's
a
reason
to
introduce
things,
and
if
you
can't
get
comfortable
in
two
weeks,
then
I
would
continue
at
that
point.
I,
don't
see
a
reason
to
continue
this
at
this
point
when,
as
you
well
know
times
of
the
essence
when
it
comes
to
building
and
construction,
so
I
would
certainly
hope,
after
the
amount
of
support
that
was
shown.
I
The
last
time
that
this
came
up
would
have
enough
impact
on
this
city
council
to
say
that
we
ought
to
introduce
this
and
if
it
takes
longer
than
two
weeks,
I'm
certainly
agreeable
to
that
to
go
another
two
weeks
a
month
for
studies,
but
I
think
that
the
support
from
the
community
is
certainly
by
far
overwhelmingly
in
favor,
of
something
like
this.
I
was
reminding
people
today
and
the
council
in
the
year
and
a
half
of
the
new
Council
and
new
people
and
new
mayor
has
been
here.
What
have
we
done
for
recreation.
I
F
I
I
It
hadn't
been
touched
since
I
was
a
kid
playing
when
I
was
nine
years
old
I
mean
you
all
remember
this,
and
Swan
Lake,
where
Little
League
is
was
played,
was
absolutely
horrendous.
We
have
made
such
strides
with
our
Recreation
and
I
think
it
shows
you
know
from
Tinsley
to
the
soccer
fields,
to
everything.
I
It's
just
been
a
commitment
that
we
have
to
give
back
to
this
community
and
I
mean
tennis
is
I
think
it
was
very
well
explained
at
that
last
meeting
hits
all
ages,
multiple
generations
and
in
the
exercise
it
provides
and
here's
the
gentleman
telling
us
that
we
can
be
the
place
in
the
state
of
Louisiana
to
host
tournaments
I
mean
that's
what
we're
about
that's.
What
we've
always
been
about
here
in
Bossier
City
is
returning
those
dividends
to
the
taxpayers
and
that's
the
way.
I.
Look
at
it
I
mean
the
money's
been
there
since
2018.
I
I
D
I
Mean
like
like
this
man,
Mr
Juno,
and
that
we
just
voted
on
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
in
sewer
I.
Don't
that
one
on
a
capital
project
list
things
needs
arise
and
that's
what
we're
about
the
way
I
see
it.
That's
why
we
stay
ahead
of
other
municipalities
in
the
state
of
Louisiana,
because.
D
D
I
So
I
mean
it
just
it's
to
me
it
that
it's
either
you're
for
continuing
growth
in
in
the
quality
of
life
in
Bossier
you're.
Not
you
just
want
to
pull
back
and
stop
and
let
things
remain
the
same.
I
don't
believe
that
I
have
a
difference
in
philosophy.
I
believe
that
that's
what
makes
Bossier
City
different
is
the
fact
that
we
are
able
to
react
upon
the
needs
of
the
citizens
and
I
believe
that
time
is
here.
I
F
I
Don't
I
don't
think
you
penalize
Recreation
for
a
road
project.
You
know
we're
starting
to
get
back
to
that
old.
Viewpoint
of
you
know,
let's,
like
I
just
said,
pull
back,
and
we
can't
do
these
things
because
we're
doing
this
over
here
there's
plenty
of
money
in
that
bond
fund.
If
you
recall
the
reason,
the
original
reason
for
the
20
is
it
20
million
I
think
something
like
that.
20
or
25
million
dollar
original
issue
was
for
the
recreational
facility
which
the
YMCA
was
going
to
arrive,
which
never
happened.
I
D
Will
vote
for
today
to
get
forward?
Let's
just
have
to
think
about
the
next
two
weeks.
M
N
M
Just
got
it:
I
just
got
my
my
personal
business
increased
cost
on
concrete,
going
up
almost
seven
dollars
a
yard,
so.
N
Just
for
that,
so
we
know
that
there's
going
to
be
Preparatory
work
and
some
design
work
and-
and
there
are
fun
things
that
we
can
get
into,
but
it
didn't
make
sense
to
start
getting
in
the
weeds
right
now
until
the
council's
comfortable
and
moving
the
project
forward.
N
But,
yes
to
answer
your
question,
I
think
one
and
a
half
million
is
enough.
We
were
hoping
it
would
be
less
than
that.
That's
why
it's
been
plused
up
a
little
bit
just
to
make
sure
we
can
include
parking
and
sidewalks
and
other
amenities
out
there
that
that
are
important
to
that
facility
to
making
those
course
successful.
M
N
M
I
You
know
it
may
be
too
that
we
can
reach
out
to
our
Parish
government
and
friends,
because
we
have,
in
the
past,
as
Mr,
Williams
and
I
were
instrumental
in
originally
this
whole
concept
of
this
part
being
put
together
between
the
school
board
to
parish
and
the
city
correct.
I
D
F
N
I
did
talk
to
the
parish
engineer
and
one
of
the
police
jurors
of
that
area,
and
let
them
know
that
this
project
was
was
being
presented
to
the
council
and
that
if
the
council
moved
this
thing
forward,
that
we
would
be
looking
to
partner
with
them
to
do
other
things
out
there.
While
the
while
the
iron's
hot.
I
B
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial
for
the
council
if,
sometime
between
the
next
two
weeks,
we
could
get
maybe
at
a
daily
activity
report
of
how
many
people
are
out
there
playing
tennis
because
I
I've,
driven
by
it
a
few
times
since
this
agenda
came
out,
and
you
know
one
day
it
was
relatively
packed.
You
know
busy
yesterday
morning
it
was
maybe
six
cars
in
the
parking
lot.
So
it
varies
a
lot.
B
So
I
think
if
we
could
have
been
accurate
depiction
of
what
the
attendance
is
out
there,
it
might
be
some
something
that
could
help
us
make
a
a
better
decision,
because
we
can't
all
just
drop
by
24
hours
a
day
to
kind
of
see
the
activity
to
Mr
Montgomery's
point
I
I
do
agree,
investing
in
Athletics
and
parks
and
recs
is
is
good
for
the
community
I'd
like
to
see
Bossier
have
a
state-of-the-art
basketball
facility
of
all
the
major
sports.
That's
something
we
don't
quite
have
yet
and
I
would
I
would
say.
B
It's
a
big
investment
for
the
city
to
invest,
and
there
are
lots
of
capital
projects
that
we
need
to
do.
There's
plenty
of
streets
and
sidewalks
that
need
to
be
repaired,
and
you
know
we
we're
getting
ready
to
have
discussions
on
baseball
facilities
as
it
relates
to
practice
fields.
So
you
know,
there's.
B
There's
a
lot
that
we
need
to
do
a
lot
that
we're
thinking
about
doing
that
would
make
me
feel
more
comfortable
if
this,
if
this
matter
was,
was
delayed
and-
and
we
didn't
vote
on
it
today,
so
we
could
have
some
time
to
think
about
it
and
do
some
homework.
So
I
would
agree
with
Mr
Williams
on
continuing
this
Mr.
D
I
And
I
don't
think
two
weeks
is
a
fair
assessment
of
attendance,
given
its
winter
time,
rain,
cold
weather
changing.
Certainly,
you
have
historical
results
of
the
utilization
of
this
place
because
you
quoted
several
percentages
when
it's
maxed
out
occupied,
so
I
think
that
would
be
a
much
more
applicable
set
of
statistics
if
you
could
provide
that
to
the
council
over
the
past
few
years.
Okay,.
N
N
C
Everybody
gets
off
work,
then
that's
when
they
come
and
do
their
league
play
and
other
things
and
they're
calling
up
there
trying
to
reserve
a
court.
None
are
available
and
this
is
a
lifetime
sport.
Once
you
play
it,
you
can
continue
on.
You
don't
have
to
gather
up
a
whole
bunch
of
people
to
play.
It's
just
one
other
person
or
if
you
play
doubles,
you
know
yeah
partners.
C
H
We
just
got
back
from
Mobile
Alabama
held
a
sectionals
and
three
of
our
teams.
I
know,
I,
don't
understand
the
ratings,
but
our
two
five,
five
five
and
eight
five
teams
won
representing
Louisiana
against
the
South.
So.
C
They
care
of
the
torch
from
Bossier
City
all
over
the
South
is
what
I'm
saying
and
people
come
here
from
all
over
to
come
play
and
he
has
one
of
the
few
facilities
that
uses
the
underground
irrigation.
The
hydrocorts
that
we're
talking
about
the
other,
like
he
said,
are
watered
from
the
top
you
water
them.
You
have
to
stay
off
of
them.
Then
you
come
back
and
play
on
them.
These
he
keeps
it
maintained.
He
does
all
the
maintenance
on
the
Courts
city
does
not
maintain
courts.
C
He
does
that
with
his
crew
and
so
forth.
So
to
me,
and
this
we
don't
have
to
shift
when
we
do
the
Katie
home
build.
You
know:
Katie
Built
Homes
we're
at
the
growth
size
of
having
to
ship
some
of
that
tournament
to
Shreveport.
We
don't
have
enough
courts
that
shouldn't
happen.
We
should
keep
everything
here,
and
this
is
what
we're
looking
to
do.
Q
Believe
that
we
need
the
six
extra
courts.
Yes,
sir
I
do
and
I
believe
that
that
it'll
benefit
Bossier
City
by
having
it
because
I
hate
to
have
us
to
look
for
other
courts
when
we
need
some
courts
and
I
think
that
it
will
do
it'll
bring
business
and
people
and
a
lot
of
tournaments.
Some
out
of
town
people
will
come
too
sure.
A
A
I
think
that
would
be
wise
if
you,
if
you
do
that,
I
wanted
to
ask
on
the
on
the
corner
marketing
part,
you
said
was
killing
a
projection
of
of
the
percentage.
You
think
we
would
corner.
H
So
a
lot
of
from
a
standpoint
of
facilities
in
the
state,
most
of
them
are
private
facilities
that
have
Clay
courts.
So
when
they're
hosting
tournaments
I
would
say
for
us
to
host
there's
a
tournament
called
the
senior
cup
senior
cup
and
then
they're
saying
50
and
over
and
all
those
matches
are
on
Clay.
H
So
that's
one
of
the
my
main
targets
of
trying
to
get
a
bid
out
for
a
tournament
from
the
section
is
to
get
one
of
those
tournaments
that
are
specifically
on
Clay
only
and
so
most
of
the
facilities
have
maybe
six
clay
courts.
Eight
clay
courts,
ten
clay
courts,
something
like
that,
but
to
host
the
tournament
of
that
size.
H
H
We
have
our
facility,
all
12
clay
courts
are
being
used,
but
the
hard
courts
are
not
it's
not
uncommon.
For
people
to
reach
out
and
say:
hey.
We've
got
two
hard
courts.
All
of
our
clay
courts
are
full
and
they'll
go.
No,
that's
okay,
I'll
wait
till
tomorrow
or
another
day,
because
they
would
rather
wait
another
day
because
they
would
be
in
pain
on
a
hard
court.
H
But
to
answer
your
question:
I
mean
I'm,
hoping
to
get
as
many
clay
Court
tournaments
as
possible,
all
of
the
ones
that
are
of
the
older
demographic,
preferably
the
65
and
70,
and
over.
Hopefully
we
get
not
just
State
terms
but
sectionals
as
well.
So
that's
my
goal
is
to
get
as
many
as
we
can.
A
H
So
let's
say
if
there
are
12
tournaments,
that
I
mean
I'd
love
to
get
half
of
those.
H
A
lot
of
those
if
there
are
12
clay
courts,
specifically
in
the
section.
Sometimes
there
are
other
facilities
in
the
section
that
can
get
those,
but
as
far
as
the
state
goes
I
don't
see
why
we
can't
get
all
of
them.
We
got
the
70s
and
overs
and
the
65,
and
over
this
year,
so
I'm
trying
to
get
some
other
tournaments
that
maybe
are
a
little
bit
younger,
maybe
40
and
55,
and
over
maybe
I,
don't
know.
Hopefully
we
have
right.
Now
we
have
three
out
of
the
five
or
six.
H
Hopefully
we
get
one
or
two
more
of
those,
but
I
want
more
than
state
tournaments.
I
want
sectional
tournaments.
I
want
National
tournaments.
We
can't
Corner
the
market
on
a
national
scale
because
they're
much
larger
facilities
where
I
had
this
happen.
We
were
in
Orlando
and
they
have
30
clay,
courts
and
30
hard
courts
and
indoor
courts.
So
we
can't
compete
with
those,
but
we
are
in
a
central
part
of
the
nation,
so
that
helps
us
from
a
national
standpoint
of
getting
bids.
H
So
if
we
have
Clay
courts,
more
clay
courts,
then
we're
more
attractive
to
those
and
so
I
haven't
reached
out
to
the
National
facilities
or
national
USDA,
because
I
don't
know,
I
didn't
think
we
had
enough
courts
to
attract
those,
but
now
well.
If
we
had
six
more
I
would
reach
out
more
to
sectional
and
National
events.
Okay,.
M
Mr
Killen
is
high
school
state
tournament
held
here.
We.
H
The
only
we
have
a
regionals
that's
happening
this
year
for
Providence,
a
lot
of
that
is
based
on
how
the
school
does,
and
so
they
have
to
be
on
hard
courts.
So
we
have
six
hard
Courts
for
the.
H
If
we
were
to
host
head-to-head
matches
our
state
matches
and
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
more
of
those,
but
most
of
that
is
in
the
spring
when
we're
using
all
those
but
we're
using
the
clay
all
year
round
the
demand
for
that
is
high
all
year
round
in
the
spring,
if
y'all
come
in
March
from
probably
two
o'clock
to
seven
o'clock,
you're,
probably
not
even
going
to
find
a
parking
spot,
you
go
out
right
now
at
one
o'clock,
you're
going
to
find
a
lot
of
Open
Spaces.
H
D
H
D
H
A
N
Police
Dairy,
my
intent,
wasn't
to
get
them
to
commit
to
this
project.
My
intent
was
to
tell
them
Bossier
has
an
item
on
the
agenda
and,
if
the,
if
it
gets
approved,
then
we
would
be
looking
to
partner
with
the
police
jury
to
to
cooperate
and
expand
on
that
and
move
that
forward.
I
believe
that
whole
facility
out
there,
you
know
you
got
the
properties,
Parish
or
police,
jury,
property,
City
and
and
School
Board
used.
F
N
Be
yeah
so
it
seemed
to
make
sense.
The
city
has
partnered,
with
the
police
jury,
often
on
their
projects,
to
provide
some
support
to
to
add
some
value
to
those
projects,
and
that
was
my
intent
here
not
to
go.
Ask
them
for
half
or
some
percentage
of
it,
but
to
say:
look
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
potentially
and
if,
if
we
do
we'd
like
to
give
the
police
during
opportunity
to
support
that-
and
you
know
make
it
better.
Okay.
A
C
C
C
This
will
not
impact
that
at
all
and
back
to
the
deal
about
the
public
tennis,
we
do
have
public
tennis,
courts,
All,
Around,
Town,
Mike
Wood,
probably
the
only
one
in
the
area
that
has
windscreens
around
it
for
people
to
play
tennis
and
the
Patricia
Park
has
got
a
the
new
pickleball
phase.
That's
laid
out
on
it.
Meadowview
has
got
to
pickleball,
of
course,
laid
out
on
it,
and
then
we
also
got
the
courts
down
by
Bossier
High
School
Fort
Smith,
and
we
do
maintain
those
we
do.
C
Have
people
come
in
and
resurface
them.
We
do
have
people
come
in
and
put
the
lines
down
and
we
maintain
those
are
where
they're
and
the
best
possible
shape
you
can
have
to
play
on
Sir,
okay,.
D
C
B
A
F
C
That
bars
are
closed
at
night,
so
okay,
gates
are
locked,
I
mean.
A
D
F
A
Okay,
the
mic
is
still
hot
for
someone
else
who
would
like
to
speak.
Give
you
two
minutes
to
address
three
minutes
three
minutes
to
address
this
issue.
That's
before
us!
That's
on
this
item.
Item
number.
G
J
G
I
read
it
David
Crockett
653
dumaine,
Drive,
Bossier,
City,
I
love,
tennis,
I
played
at
your
facilities,
they're
they're,
definitely
Best
in
Class
I've
played
in
South
Shreveport
I
played
in
Lafayette
it's
a
great
facility.
The
real
question
is
this:
is
a
guns
versus
butter
decision
how
you
want
to
spend
1.5
million
dollars
with
Bond
money
that
you're
going
to
pay
for
in
the
out
years?
You
know,
I
just
saw
that
you
are
approved
or
working
on
about
1.8
million
for
roads
and
you're
going
to
spend
1.5
million
on
tennis
courts.
G
You
know
I
think
a
lot
of
Bossier
City
would
like
to
see
money
spent
on
roads.
I
think.
The
other
thing
that
was
talked
about
today
is
the
last
meeting
that
you
had
where
you
talked
about
this
subject.
A
lot
has
changed
in
the
country
over
these
last
several
months.
Rising
interest
rates
fed
just
started.
Quantitative
tightening
money
is
going
to
be
hard
to
come
by.
We've
got
violent
crime
now,
starting
to
show
up
more
in
Bossier
City.
So
we,
you
know
you,
may
you
want
to
discuss.
G
You
know
whether
you
need
to
improve
the
amount
of
security
force
that
you
have
inside
the
city,
so
a
lot
of
things
have
changed
since
the
last
meeting,
and
now
we
have
Biden's
war
on
oil,
which
is
directly
attacking
the
economy
that
we
have
in
this
city,
look
at
the
Bossier
school
budget
and
you
can
see
where
they
attribute
how
much
money
this
economy
is
from
the
from
the
oil
industry.
Those
are
all
things
that
are
questionable.
We
don't
know
how
we're
going
to
be
affected
by
a
possible
research
recession.
G
That's
coming
up,
so
I
think
a
lot
has
changed
and
I
think
you
have
to
think
about.
You
know
if,
if
you
know
we,
we
had
a
situation
in
2008
where
we
had
to
address
the
fact
that
we
had
budget
shortfalls
and
what
did
we
do?
We
reduce
the
security
police
or
the
security
police,
but
the
police
that
we
have
in
the
city,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
to
consider.
I.
Do
you
know
hope
that
we
think
about
how
we
can
serve
the
underserved?
G
How
are
we
going
to
address
crime
in
the
city
instead
of
of
paying
for
something
that
goes
towards
really
an
upper
middle
class?
Sport
I
love
it
you
know
paying
for
these
things,
I'll
get
a
benefit
from
it,
but
what
are
we
doing
with
basketball
courts,
outdoor
basketball,
courts?
How
are
the
Howard?
Can
the
money
that
same
1.5?
This
is
a
guns
versus
butter
decision
and
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
best
discussions
that
I've
I've
heard
from
the
city
council.
I
appreciate
you
guys
for
talking
about
it.
Thank.
A
E
D
Sorry,
second
Council:
this
is
an
ongoing
thing.
I
know
the
fire
department,
donates,
vest
and
all
kind
of
gear,
the
bunker
clothes
whatever
when
they're
outdated
expire.
We
can't
we
can't
use
them.
We
can't
give
no
fire
departments
in
this
in
the
states.
So
simple
shares
goes
down
and
donation
to
to
Mexico
Chief
segone
has
60
I
believe
Fest
that
we
want
to
donate
and
they'll
be
leaving
very
very
shortly.
So
that's
that's
the
chief
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
say,
I
think
that's
about
it.
Thank.
A
J
E
A
Second,
motion:
Mr
Freeze;
second,
it
was
Mr
bazio
and
Mr
Williams.
Can
we
get
a
brief
on
this
one?
Maybe
the
scope
of
what
you're
going
to
to
go
after.
N
N
We
have
been
working
on
behalf
of
the
city
within
the
city,
Engineering
Department
of
Public
Utilities,
recently
we're
able
to
get
recommended
for
5
million,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
federal
dollars
available
and
we
believe
that
we
can
be
of
assistance
to
the
city
and
pursuing
those
aggressively.
Not
when
you
know
we're
not
out
doing
other
Public
Works
activities.
We
would
like
to
dedicate
some
resources
to
doing
that,
so
that
this
is
a
a
grant
that
allows
the
city
to
utilize
our
resources.
This
would
be
me
or
Clinton.
N
These
would
be
other
man,
Shack
employees,
working
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Bossier,
working
with
the
administration
Stephanie's
been
here.
We've
met
with
the
mayor
and
his
team
regarding
this
idea
and
wanted
to
present
that
to
the
council
and-
and
we
we-
we
hope
you
all-
will
agree
to
that
and
we'd
like
to
get
to
work
on
it.
It's
not
going
to
have
any
detriment
to
the
projects.
We
are
currently
working
on
with
the
administration
and
for
some
of
the
council,
it's
going
to
help
us
put
a
lot
of
gasoline
on
them.
M
Where
have
y'all
or
where
have
you
written
grants
for
Baton
Rouge?
What's
the
success
rate
of
those
grants.
L
Yes,
sir
I
I
actually
don't
like
to
talk
about
my
success
rate,
because
I
don't
want
to
like
knock
on
wood,
but
I
I've
been
very
successful
in
several
grant
opportunities,
including
city
of
Lafayette
City
of
Monroe
Baton
Rouge,
Airline,
Highway
I
was
recently
working
on
the
mood
VR
program
and
we
were
able
to
receive
about
172
million
dollars
for
Airline
and
Florida
Boulevard.
So
both
in
the
transit
area,
safety
improvements,
I
mean
just
a
broad
range
of
infrastructure
across
the
state
of
Louisiana,
also
in
other
states
as
well.
So.
K
N
Maybe
I
know
you
asked
her,
but
in
in
the
ordinance
you'll
see
our
rate
structure,
and
so
our
intent
is
to
to
bill
you
based
on
our
billable
rate,
so
like
I'm,
a
senior
project
manager,
you
can
see
on
there
what
my
billable
rate
is,
and
so
her
fee
would
be
based.
Similarly
on
that,
but
if
we
have
CAD
work
to
develop
Maps
or
leg
work,
we
don't
want
you
paying.
You
know
at
the
top
of
the
rate
structure.
N
For
that,
so
our
opinion,
we
were
able
to
give
you
a
lot
of
value
for
for
for
the
work.
It's
not
Grant
based,
you
know,
you're,
not
paying
us
a
big
bunch
of
money
to
go,
pursue
a
grant.
We
just
put
it
in
and
say
up
pay
us,
you
know
and
we'll
hope
for
the
best.
This
is
really
just
a
way
to
bring
some
resources
to
Bossier
City
in
a
time
where
you
know
this
money's
not
going
to
be
here
forever.
So
that
was
our
experiment.
N
A
N
Maybe,
but
that's
not
how
this
is
structured,
so
we
we
have
not
structured
this
in
a
way
that
we
get
a
percentage
of
of
Any
Grant
that
may
come
into
the
to
the
city.
That's
not
our
objective!
Here!
It's
not
it's,
not
our
objective
to
go
and
and
and
make
ourselves
you
know
fatter
because
of
it.
It's
just
there's.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
there's
opportunity.
Bossier
City
is
not
the
only
Community.
That's
sure.
A
N
Here
trying
to
figure
this
out,
so
you
know
when,
when
Stephanie
came
aboard,
we
felt
strongly
that
it
was.
It
was
something
that
we
could
bring
to
the
city,
a
value
client
of
ours,
and
and
it's
really
that's
it.
If
we
get
a
grant,
you
know,
then,
then
that
will
enrich
the
the
local
Contracting
community
and
design
community
and
and
sure,
but.
A
N
We
will
absolutely-
and
you
know
we
meet-
we
try
to
meet
regularly
once
a
month
and
we
can
come
to
the
council
meeting
and
at
least
quarterly
give
you
an
update
on
how
that's
that's
going,
we're
excited
about
it.
It's
you
know,
nothing
ventured
nothing
gained
and,
and
I
would
just
like
to
see
us
put
forth
a
real
professional
effort,
and
you
know,
Bossier
City
has
invested
tons
of
money
into
the
infrastructure.
We
want
to
leverage
that.
D
That's
a
meeting
with
the
mayor
the
other
day.
It's
like
free
money
is
good
money.
M
N
No
I
know
you
think
the
short
answer
is
no,
so
we
don't
know
we
haven't,
got
formal
approval
on
the
five
million,
but
once
we
are
in
the
till
on
that
water
sector
program,
each
water
permittee,
so
that
we
have
a
state
number
for
our
water
system,
you're
allowed
one
of
those
those
grants.
So
in
looking
at
some
of
the
inside
baseball
on
that,
we
did
very
well.
The
city
did
very
well
on
getting
that.
I
know,
there's
some
politics
at
play,
but
we
were
way
up
on
the
list
of
of
projects.
N
So
it's
a
great
project.
It's
for
South,
Bossier
matter
of
fact.
One
of
the
grants
that
we're
working
on
right
now
is
pedestrian.
Expanding
The
Pedestrian
improvements
down
in
South
Bossier
there's
there
seems
to
be
a
big
Push
by
the
federal
government
for
those
alternative
transportation
projects.
So.
N
71,
correct
pedestrian
activity
is
say,
Henry
just
slows
yeah.
It
slows
things
down
close
things
down,
so
all
good,
but
it
it.
You
know
it
just
takes
energy
to
get
into
that
that
game
and
really
using
her
resources
and
references
is
and
contacts
and
things
like
that
I
mean
anybody,
can
write
an
application
on
paper
and
send
it
in,
and
we
can
all
hope,
but
Hope's,
never
a
real
good
course
of
action.
Well,.
M
B
Mr
President,
if
I
may
real
quick,
the
ordinance
says
that
money
is
available
in
the
engineering
budget
and
not
requesting
additional
money
at
this
time.
Do
you
feel
comfortable
for
the
the
whole
year
that
you're
not
going
to
need
the
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
your
Department's
budget?
That's.
N
I
I
don't
know,
my
hope
would
be
that
that
we
can
stretch
that
a
long
time
and
those
are
things
that
we'll
be
regrouping
with
the
the
council,
often
on
those
invoices,
would
would
come
to
the
administration.
They've
got
to
review
that
and
at
such
point
in
time,
as
you
see
that
there's
no
value
in
US
pursuing
that,
then
we
could
stop.
But
there
are.
There
are
funds
for
Professional
Services
available
within
the
engineering
department.
N
B
And
I
was
looking
through
the
contract
and
maybe
I
missed
it,
but
is
this
contract
going
to
run
concurrently
with
the
current
3p
or
the
engineering
contractor?
Is
this
on
its
own?
It's.
N
Just
a
not
to
exceed
so
there's
a
not
to
exceed
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
there
and
and
that's
it
doesn't
have
a
termination
clause
and
there's
just
a
separate
Standalone
agreement
to
answer
your
question
that
has
a
not
to
exceed
amount.
