G
B
A
E
I
Foreign
Council
mayor
I'll
be
real,
quick.
This
is
more
about
these
guys
here,
standing
behind
me
than
it
is
me,
but
through
the
years
the
police
department's
had
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
enter
in
into
a
task
force
type
situation
with
the
U.S
Marshal's
office.
That's
who
these
gentlemen
are
here.
The
supervisor
over
that
unit
for
a
lot
of
years
is
now
retired,
Marshall
Turner,
so
without
further
Ado
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
him
and
let
him
go
through
their
deal.
J
Thank
you,
Chief
Howard
I
had
the
distinct
pleasure
of
standing
up
our
violent
offender
task
force
back
in
2006.
Jeremy
was
one
of
the
first
guys
we
brought
over
over
those
years,
I
think
12
years
with
a
task
force
in
in
our
national
Service,
Chief
and
supervisor
gonna
go
into
details
on
that,
but
made
a
tremendous
number
of
violent,
felony
fugitive
arrests
of
that
a
significant
portion
of
them
were
homicides.
J
He
holds
a
unique
distinction
of
the
only
Task
Force
member
I'm,
aware
of
that's
been
shot
at
in
three
different
cities
in
Central
and
North
Louisiana,
Alexandria,
Monroe
and
Shreveport,
some
of
them
multiple
times
what
the
work
that
he
did
to
tip
of
the
spear
work.
We
work
very
closely
with
other
federal
state
and
local
agencies
and
is
a
very
good
wealth
of
information,
an
experience
that
he
brings
back
to
the
Bossier
City
Police
Department
in
his
new
leadership.
J
K
Mayor
councilman,
just
thank
you
all
for
the
partnership
between
the
United
States,
Marshal
Service
and
the
City
of
Bossier.
We
all
know
we
cannot
do
this
job
alone,
so
in
our
efforts,
so
we're
very
appreciative
for
the
equipment.
The
time
the
investigations
just
the
partnership
over
the
years
and
you're
not
going
to
find
a
more
dependable
person,
I
will
tell
you
that
every
time
I
called
him
that
phone
he
picked
it
up.
I,
always
offering
a
good
wealth
of
information
and
resources
to
help,
and
we
were.
K
We
would
can
only
hope
that
we
can
reciprocate
the
same
thing
throughout
our
time.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
ask
the
supervisors
of
the
task
force.
Currently,
we
just
really
appreciate
the
partnership
and
we're
looking
to
continue
to
do
that
and
we're
very
thankful
for
for
the
lieutenant
Kennedy.
You

my
chief

I
will
speak.
H

2011
to
October
2022..
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you.
A
L
Is
not,
this
is
not
me.
This
is
every
one
of
these
guys
back
here
had
a
significant
role
in
every
bit
of
this
six
thousand
arrests,
Chief
I
told
you
we
were
busy,
we
weren't,
we
weren't
messing
around
every
one
of
these
guys
deserved
this.
It's
not
me,
but
I
I
played
a
small
role
and,
and
all
this
and
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
appreciate
you.
A
G
M
My
timer
started
here
good
afternoon,
mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
having
us
back
again
today
have
a
short
update
on
the
formertronics
Carnegie
wood
treating
facility
last
time.
I
was
here.
I
was
sharing
information
about
ongoing
excavation
work
and
we
have
an
update
for
all
of
you
and
for
the
city
as
well.
So
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
get
started.
M
There
we
go
okay,
so
I'm,
going
to
start
with
an
overview
and
some
history
we'll
talk
about
the
excavation
work,
that's
been
ongoing,
then
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
upcoming
work
in
the
parking
lot
over
at
Scott
Dickerson
homes
that
we're
expecting
and
then
I'm,
going
to
finish
with
some
information
about
additional
soil
sampling
that
we'll
be
doing
so.
Here's
a
quick
slide
on
the
overview
of
the
site.
M
I
know
all
of
you
have
heard
about
this
site
before
this
is
there's
two
properties:
the
West
property
and
the
main
property
they
straddle
Hamilton,
Road,
just
south
of
Green
Street
and
just
south
of
Scott
Dickerson
apartment
homes.
The
property
was
used
for
wood,
treating
operations
from
the
1930s
until
the
late
1980s.
M
M
If
we
could
there,
we
go,
we
excavated
soil
to
remove
contamination
near
the
soil's
surface.
In
some
areas
we
went
down
to
two
feet
and
in
some
areas
we
went
down
to
five
feet
depending
on
what
the
sampling,
what
the
data
told
us
on
this
map
you
can
see.
Green
is
five
feet
and
orange
is
two
feet.
We
also
took
confirmation
sampling
when
all
the
sampling,
when
all
the
excavation
was
finished,
to
make
sure
that
we
got
everything
to
the
state
standards.
M
You
can
see
here
some
of
the
images
from
the
work.
This
was
very
intensive
work
that
was
happening
in
a
community
in
a
neighborhood,
and
so
we
went
through
a
lot
of
measures
to
make
sure
that
residents
were
protected
and
that
they
had
access
to
information
during
the
work
in
most
areas.
Now
we're
now
complete,
the
soil
has
been
backfilled.
The
topsoil
has
been
put
in
place
and
we've
resotted
or
in
some
places
reseeded
the
area.
So
you
can
see
here.
M
M
We
haven't
painted
it
yet,
but
it's
going
to
be
painted
with
with
the
usual
things
that
you
would
find
on
a
basketball
court,
there's
one
strip
of
an
area
which
is
areas
one
through
four,
where
the
excavation
work
is
still
underway,
it's
kind
of
on
the
back
side
of
the
property
along
the
railroad.
So
it's
not
as
invasive
not
as
visible
as
some
of
this
other
work
was
right
around
the
main
area
of
the
property.
We're
expecting
that
to
be
complete
very
soon
within
the
next
month.
M
We
ran
into
a
lot
of
challenges
during
the
work,
as
you
do
with
any
major
construction
project.
We
went
through
a
lot
of
effort
to
try
to
identify
the
utilities
beforehand,
but
there
were
no
as
builts
for
this
area,
so
we
had
a
utility
identification
plan.
We
had
a
a
utility
locating
service.
We
also
did
an
independent
field
survey.
M
Eventually
we
did
a
video
survey
after
we
had
an
initial
utility
strike
of
a
clay
pipeline
that
was
not
being
used
and
in
the
end,
for
some
of
the
areas
we
ended
up,
doing
either
manual
excavation
of
utility
lines
or,
in
some
cases,
hydrovacking
along
a
big
portion
of
the
property,
and
that
really
caused
some
delays
that
we
weren't
anticipating.
But
our
main
priority
was
that
residents
are
safe,
we're
not
taking
any
risks
with
things
like
you
know,
utility
strikes
or
gas
strikes.
Things
like
that
that
were
moving
forward
with
the
utmost
protection
for
residents.
M
We
also
were
expecting
and
did
have
some
Odor
Control
issues,
but
we
used
a
foam
suppressant
where
an
odor
suppressant,
wherever
necessary,
to
control
the
odor.
We
also
took
measures
like
covering
up
areas
at
night
to
make
sure
residents
weren't
experiencing
odors
throughout
the
life
of
the
project.
We
did
air
monitoring.
So
whenever
there
was
work
going
on,
we
had
real-time
air
monitors,
we
had
five
fixed
locations
and
two
adjustable
locations
where
which
we
could
move
depending
on
where
the
most
intensive
work
was
happening
and
those
were
real
time
stations.
M
So
the
data
came
in
real
time
as
to
what
we
were
seeing
for
the
contaminants
that
we
were
monitoring.
We
also
had
laboratory
data
that
was
coming
in
those
had
to
be
validated
and
can
take
some
time
to
to
come
to
us,
but
those
laboratory
measurements
were
taken
at
the
five
fixed
locations.
We
reported
all
of
the
real-time
error
monitoring
data
on
a
daily
basis
on
three
of
the
message
boards
that
were
on
site
so
every
day
that
there
was
work
going
on
the
following
day.
M
M
M
The
plan
is
to
replace
the
parking
lot
in
two
phases.
So,
to
start
with
the
north
side
of
the
parking
lot
then
move
to
the
South
we'll
remove
the
soil
down
to
18
inches
below
the
existing
pavement.
We'll
also
be
working
to
replace
the
certain
sidewalks
and
curbs
and
to
remove
some
of
the
grassy
areas
that
are
just
adjacent
to
the
parking
lot.
This
is
going
to
limit
risk
the
risk
that
workers
could
be
exposed
into
in
in
the
future.
M
We
know
it's
really
important
when
proposing
this
type
of
disruption,
to
provide
lighting
and
security
and
meet
all
state
and
local
requirements
for
this
temporary
parking.
So
we'll
be
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
that
happens,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
just
wanted
to
update
the
city
council
on
is
the
additional
sampling
that
we're
doing
so.
There's
three
areas
of
additional
sampling:
we're
doing
we're
doing
this
sampling
based
on
the
residence
Recollections
of
the
history
of
flooding
in
the
area.
M
So
we're
going
to
go
out
there
and
take
some
additional
samples
to
check
what
the
levels
say,
we're
in
the
process
that
what
you
saw
before
was
around
Green
Street
and
Dickerson
and
Scott
Street.
This
area
is
south
of
the
site
on
Carver
Street
and
there's
a
third
area
along
Green
Street
on
the
west
side
of
Hamilton
and
we're
in
the
process
of
seeking
access
from
all
the
property
owners
right
now.
It's
about
I,
think,
60
or
so
property
owners,
and
that
is
underway
and
we
hope
to
be
getting
that
permission
very
soon
and
begin.
M
M
M
N
M
Prioritized
the
residential
area,
because
you
know
we
want
to
minimize
the
risk
of
exposure,
but
we
have
to
study
the
main
plant
area
and
design,
develop
and
design
a
remedy
for
that
area
as
well,
which
will
take
some
time
so
there's
no
right
now.
There
I
don't
have
with
me
an
end
date,
but
there's
still
quite
a
bit
of
work
to
do.
A
M
With
this
temporary
parking
lot,
one
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
is
a
shuttle,
maybe
operating
During
certain
in
hours
operating
in
the
evening,
it's
a
very
short
distance,
but
for
people
with
Mobility
challenges
or
young
children.
We
know
that
it
can
be
very
difficult,
so
we're
interested
in
finding
solutions
that
work
best
for
the
people
who
live
there.
Okay,.

Final
reading.
A
E
A
C
A
A
E
C
C
F
C
C
C
Yeah
well
I'd
like
to
look
into
that
more.
You
know
about
what
you're
saying
come
up
with
something
to
where
we
have
a
material
limit.
I
mean
this.
Doesn't
I,
don't
like
this
I
think
it's
too
much
work
and
going
back
and
forth
and
and
then
Auditors
start
looking.
You
know
and
then
that's
more
time
spent
and
for
not
that
what's
the
overall
budget
of
water
and
sewer
30
plus.
C
Yeah
I
mean
this
I
like
this
word,
sometimes
it's
ridiculous
so
that
that's
my
two
cents
on
it.
You
know
so
I'd
like
for
us
to
come
up
with
a
way
around
the
new
computer
system
to
where
you're
not
coming
before
the
council
for
immaterial
items
relative
to
the
financials
in
the
budget.
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
and
me
and
Ben
talked
about
an
hour
about
it.
I
had
questions
about
it.
The
other
day,
yeah
just.
O
Like
the
HR
stuff,
employee,
System,
Program
and
I
will
Angela
pointed
out
to
me
on
the
Consulting
Services
the
employee
assistance
program.
She
showed
me
where
in
Consulting
Services,
that's
historically
gone
over
a
little
bit.
But
when
you
look
at
the
totality
of
that
budget,
it's
it's
not
significant
and
in
the
past
we
were
able
to
use
funds
from
other
divisions,
whereas
that's
all
seen
now
in
this
system
as
specific
departments.

Hello,

I

O
G
O
O
O
Yes,
sir,
at
Hamilton
there
in
front
of
the
water
plant
entrance
they're
working
on
that
one
as
well.
You
can
kind
of
see
the
one
there
at
Shed
Road
is,
is
getting
close
so
in
conjunction
with
that
roundabout
they're
re,
basically
reconstructing
Hamilton
Road
all
the
way
down
to
Highway
80
as
part
of
that.
So
a
lot
of
work
happening
right
there
right
now,
the
ltri
building
cool
picture
there
it's
coming
along
nicely,
they're
on
schedule:
Louisiana
Highway,
71
lighting
improvements,
phase,
two
I'm
going
to
see
this
one
slow
down
a
little
bit
last.
O
My
my
last
conversations
with
Will
Hyde
who's.
Doing
that
work.
We
don't
expect
to
have
all
the
materials
in
for
that
until
May,
so
we're
pushing
to
look
at
some
various
options
there,
but
that
one's
Dragon
because
of
equipment,
Bossier
Arts,
Council
Project's
moving
along
well,
you
can
see
the
brick
is
starting
to
come
up
there
along
the
new
brick
ledge,
and
it's
on
schedule
been
really
impressed
with
the
work
happening
out
there,
and
this
is
just
the
the
five
subdivisions
we
have
right.
O
There
is
The
Cove
at
Bellagio
they're
having
to
do
a
lot
of
well
pointing
and
things
like
that
out
there,
but
we
can
continue
to
see
a
fair
amount
of
private
development
going
on
within
the
city,
and
this
is
just
an
overall
list
of
current
projects
in
design
or
out
for
bid.
One
project
is
not
on
here.
O
We
we
recently
solicited
bids
for
the
beautification
project
on
the
first
phase
of
the
Carriage
Way
and
that
one
came
in
over
the
250,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
publicly
bid
that
maybe
much
like
today
it'll
come
in
under
250.
When
we
publicly
did
it
I,
don't
know,
but
we
will.
You
will
see
the
opening
of
that
here
pretty
soon,
but
other
than
that
things
are
progressing
well
and
you
know
continue
to
keep
on
keeping
on
any
questions.
Q
Sir
I'd
like
to
tell
you
today,
I
found
out
that
Bossier
Parks
has
851
kids
registered
for
basketball
and
they'll,
be
playing
in
school
gyms
across
the
city
on
Saturdays
and
Bossier.
City
has
been
recommended
to
receive
a
water
sector
Grant
from
the
state
in
the
amount
of
five
million
dollars
and
final
decisions
will
be
made
in
December.
Q
City
Hall
will
celebrate
its
annual
Thanksgiving
tomorrow.
That
is
a
great
time
for
city
employees
to
come
together
for
a
potluck
lunch.
You
know
welcome
up
there
too,
so
it's
going
to
be
great
to
be
a
lot
of
food
and
a
lot
of
employees
and
City
Hall
will
be
closed
on
Thursday
November
24th
and
Friday
November
25th
for
Thanksgiving
and
I
just
want
to
tell
everybody.
Y'all
have
a
Happy
Thanksgiving.
Thank
you.
