meeting.
A
D
E
A
A
J
For
being
here,
it's
good
to
be
here,
I
wanted
to
come
and
give
you
an
update
on
some
potential
refinancing.
J
H
J
So
we
actually
were
in
the
process
of
reaching
out
to
some
had
left
the
message
actually
with
a
couple
council
folks
and
got
an
email
from
phyllis
saying
mr
darby
had
actually
come
to
the
meeting,
so
it
worked
out
perfect
because
we
wanted
to
come
anyway
but
wanted
to
update
you
a
little
bit.
You
may
recall
I'll.
Take
you
back
a
little
bit
about
a
year
ago
we
presented
to
you
the
opportunity
to
refinance
some
of
your
bonds.
J
I
think
it
was
four
issues:
your
14s
a
couple
of
15s
in
the
15a
there
was
some
significant
savings.
There
rates
were
real,
good
and
part
of
the
reason
we
do
it
is
to
get
through
the
approval
process,
because
it
takes
time,
as
we
always
mentioned
by
the
time
we
got
through
the
bond
commission
process
and
we
came
back
and
gave
you
an
update
in
december
rates
had
moved
against
us
significantly,
so
the
savings
weren't
there.
So
we
said
look.
J
J
Just
as
a
kind
of
a
I
guess,
a
measure.
The
bond
commission
has
some
certain
levels
they
like
to
see
they
generally
with
a
refunding
like
this
like
to
see
a
three
percent
present
value
savings.
We
think
today
we're
probably
around
four
percent,
which
is
pretty
good.
We've
got
some
indications
from
some
banks
what
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
now
and
why
we
wanted
to
update
you
as
we're
going
back
to
those
banks
and
saying
look,
I
don't
want
an
indication.
J
I
want
a
firm
rate
from
you,
so
they've
got
to
do
their
underwriting
exposure.
It
doesn't
cost
you
anything
to
do
that,
but
we're
hoping
in
the
not
too
distant
future
they'll
come
back
to
us
with
some
rates
where
we
can
look
at
it
and
see
what
the
savings
are
and
maybe,
as
early
as
next
month,
be
back
to
you
with
hey
here's,
some
real
savings.
J
You
guys
want
to
move
forward
and
take
advantage
of
it
we'll
keep
the
administration
and
finance
updated
as
to
how
those
things
proceed.
So
we
can
so
we
can
back
be
back
to
you.
I
did
want
to
note
important
in
talking
to
some
of
you
before
that
when
we
talk
about
refinancing,
it's
not
like
refinancing
your
home,
where,
if
you
got
20
years
left
and
you
refinance
for
30
years,
we're
refinancing
term
to
term
which
means
we're
not
extending
your
debt,
we're
simply
lowering
the
payments.
J
So
the
savings
we
talk
about
is
true
savings.
It's
not
you
know
we're
not
not,
because
we're
extending
the
debt
and
lowering
the
payment
we're
leaving
the
debt
the
same,
but
again
we're
glad
that
rates
have
finally
started
to
come
back
down
a
little
bit.
J
You
know
wish
we
could
say
we're
certain
they're
going
to
stay
there.
They
could
move
the
other
way
against
us
again
and
if
they
do
we'll
be
back
to
you,
saying,
hey
we're
still
monitoring
and
we're
watching,
but
we're
hoping
in
the
next
month
or
so
we'll
get
some
good.
Some
good
rates
back
from
some
banks
and
some
can
create
some
savings
for
the
city
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
J
A
J
K
L
L
E
L
E
A
Thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
approve
the
reading
of
the
bid
of
any
discussion
public
input.
I
K
C
D
B
B
N
M
B
N
Yes,
sir,
they
weren't
haven't
been
fully
staffed
the
full
year,
so
they
have
excess
that
can
be
transferred.
N
Well,
yes,
they
have
their
haven't
fully
utilized
all
their
budgeted
positions
for
the
full
year.
So
there
were
some
budgeted
salaries
that
didn't
get
paid
because
those
positions
weren't
filled
and
it
kind
of
created
an.
C
G
It's
not
going
to
have
an
effect.
We've
been
through
this
before
back
10
12
years
ago,
where
we
went
down
this
road,
but
in
other
words
in
that
position
it
continued.
And
then
you
were
in
the
deficit
spending
into
your
point.
It
started
affecting
the
actual
force
of
policemen
and
fire
and
so
forth.
So
this
is
a
one-time
expense
against
a
one-time
savings
of
being
down
how
many
officers
for
that
period
of
time
so
anyway,.
B
M
That's
up
to
the
council,
I
mean
if
we
come
back
and
if
the
council
wants
to
approve
it.
If
the
mayor
is
on
board
with
it,
if
we
feel
that
we
still
need
the
liaison
for
2023,
then
it
would
have
to
be
approved
by
the
council,
but
there's
nothing
for
2023
in
this
21
000..
This
simply
takes
us
to
december
31
of
2022.
D
It's
going
to
be,
the
second
reading
will
be
on
august
30th
and
it
will
advertise.
Let's
see.
D
I
I've
got
one
question,
mr
president,
so
in
in
this
21
000
sorry,
let
me
get
back
up
to
it.
Twenty
one
thousand
dollar,
twenty
things,
there's
no,
no
benefits
anything
like
that
included
in
this
21
000,
not
at
all.
N
D
Introduce
an
ordinance
appropriating
twenty
four
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
from
the
general
fund
fund
balance
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
cg6
technology,
consulting
for
a
complete
assessment
of
the
capability
and
vulnerability
of
information,
services
and
systems
of
the
city
of
bossier
city
and
authorized
city
attorney
charles
jacobs
to
sign
any
and
all
documents
necessary
for
this
contract.
First
reading.
C
A
Question
by
mr
montgomery
second
by
mr
williams,
discussion
debate
is.
I
E
I
G
I
would
liken
it
to
a
financial
audit
all
right,
so
we
hire
cpas
to
come
in
and
do
an
independent
audit
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
accounting
and
our
systems
and
all
in
our
numbers
are
good
and
we
don't
have
any
internal
control
weaknesses
I
mean
so.
The
same
is
true
for
it.
Now,
especially-
and
I
call
this
a
large
corporation,
the
city
which
it
is
800
employees
in
multiple
facets,
so
he
comes
in
and
checks
to
your
point
vulnerability.
G
G
Two
or
three
years
ago-
and
it
was
incredible
if,
if
we
had
pictures
to
show
you
what
our
id
looked
like
before
and
after
you
wouldn't
believe
it,
but-
and
we
just
felt
it
was
time
just
to
make
sure,
especially
given
the
threats
that
exist
out
there
and
and
just
make
sure
that
you
know,
we've
gotten
everything
buttoned
down
and
he
gives
us
a
clean
opinion.
G
D
K
G
E
M
I
E
G
A
G
A
And
that
that's
going
to
be
my
expectation-
and
I
think
that
would
help
with
other
council
members
who
has
not
experienced
his
forensic
approach
to
things.
D
C
A
D
Introduce
an
ordinance
to
approve
change
order;
number
four
for
the
walter
o
bigby
carriageway
phase,
two
project
with
james
j
b,
james
construction
llc
in
the
amount
of
one
million
four
hundred
three
thousand
four
hundred
sixty
seven
dollars
and
ninety
one
cents
for
the
addition
of
street
lighting
using
the
2018
lcda
bond
fund.
First
reading.
C
A
Marshall
made
by
mr
montgomery
second
by
mr
williams,
discussion
debate,
council.
I
Yeah,
mr
president,
I
do-
and
this
is
an
astronomical
amount
for
a
change
order.
1.4
million
dollars
was
street.
Did
we
not
know
what
he
did
street
lighting
when
this
originally
went
out
for
bid
roads
and
everything
you
build?
I
mean
it's
got
to
have
lights.
I
P
Yeah
yeah,
so
when
the
project
was
passed
over
to
us,
there
was
not
street
lighting
included
in
the
plans
that
were
nearly
complete.
So
we
worked
with
the
city
to
commission
a
design
to
continue
the
lighting
similar
to
what
we
did
on
phase
one
throughout
this
project.
There
is
lighting
on
this
project.
The
bridge
has
lighting,
but
the
you
know
the
either
end
of
the
bridge
does
not
include
lighting.
So
we're
bringing
this
measure
before
the
council.
We
we
feel
lighting,
is
appropriate
and
we're
putting
that
in
your
hands
to
make
make
the
decision.
A
P
Man
shot,
there
wasn't
lighting
included
in
the
in
the
in
the
design,
and
there
was
debate
as
to
whether
or
not
do
we
incorporate
that
into
the
project.
Do
we
bid
it
separately?
How
do
you
want
to
handle
it,
and
we
feel
as
though
this
is
a
reasonable
approach
to
putting
lighting
out
there
on
the
carriageway
costs,
are
going
up?
It's
not
going
to
get
any
cheaper.
G
So
go
ahead,
I
wanted
to
tell
you
too
down
the
road.
There
was
another
exclusion
from
the
design
plans
were
no
sound
barriers,
so
at
this
point
we're
looking
to
have
design
changes
on
the
overpass
and
then
the
cost
associated
with
installing
the
sound
panels.
You
know
on
the
side.
Q
I
Left
out
correct
one
other
question:
ben
for
you
is
this:
is
this
an
estimate
by
jb
james,
or
is
this
an
estimate
by
y'all?
Is
this
going
to
go?
Are
they.
I
P
We
feel
like
it's
a
good
plan
and
now's
the
time
and
and
doing
it
through
jb
james.
You
don't
get
a
lot
of.
He
said
she
said,
coordination
problems
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
it's
our
opinion
that
this
is
the
the
most
advantageous
path
forward
for
lighting,
that
for
the
city,
we've
worked
with
the
city,
administration
and
city
attorney
on
that
feel
like
we
have
a
good
measure
and
it's
a
surprise.
I
get
it,
but
I
feel
like
it's
something
that
needs
to
to
be
incorporated
into
the
project.
B
B
Mr
mr
montgomery
is
saying
that
there's
more
that's
going
to
be
coming
in
the
future,
and
so
to
me,
it
just
seems
like
this
project
is
going
to
end
up
being
very
over
budget.
Is
that
is
that
accurate?
Or
how
would
you
characterize
where
we're
going
to
be
when
it's
all
said
and
done
as
far
as
I'm
not.
B
Well,
we
we,
we
just
had
a
a
ordinance
a
couple
weeks
ago,
where
we
settled
a
property
acquisition
property
acquisition,
so
that
was
3
million.
This
is
1.4
and
then,
of
course,
we're
going
to
have
some
additional
cost.
So
that's
that's.
My
concern
is
that
this
is
going
to
end
up
being
way
over
budget
than
what
we
had
originally
planned.
Well,
as.
P
Far
as
the
construction
councilman
smith,
it's
on
track,
you
know
this
is
in
addition
to
that
contract
of
1.4
million
and
it's
y'all's
pleasure
to
award
it
or
not
right.
B
E
G
G
Your
concern-
and
I
think
mr
easterly's
here
as
well
that
in
this
size
and
magnitude
of
con
this
contract,
you
know
you
come
out
with
a
budgeted
number
and
I
can't
remember
the
right
way:
was
it
six
million
that
we
budgeted?
Maybe
angela
knows,
but
I
this
should
use
that
number.
Well,
I
mean
you
get
to
the
point
where
you
got
to
do
the
project.
G
G
Cost,
but
I
think
that
we're
and
tell
me
if
I'm
speaking,
you
know
how
to
turn,
but
it
it.
It
appears
to
me
that
we've
identified
those
significant
material
numbers
as
far
as
future
change
orders,
and
that's
why
I
was
bringing
up
sound
barriers
because
that
came
up.
You
don't
want
to
build
something
like
that.
I
mean
our
office.
Sits
there.
You.
G
B
G
G
We
know
that
we've
got
the
additional
storm
water
pump
station
that
we
have
to
do
the
dlt
put
on
us,
the
sound
the
lighting
we're
through
with
the
right
of
way
am
I
correct.
We
are,
and
we.
G
Acquisition,
okay,
we're
finished,
but
we're
actually
going
to
sell
the
oil
change
company
or
put
it
out
potentially
as
surplus
and
take
bids.
So,
let's
just
say
we
get
a
million
back
from
that
right.
You
know
that
that's
money
that
comes
back
to
us
to
help
offset
some
of
these
costs,
but
I
think
to
councilman
smith's
concern
would
is
that
a
fair
assessment
that
we
have
identified,
what
we
see
as
significant
additional
costs?
Yes,
at
this
point,
we.
P
Are
in
a
project
in
our
office
with
our
crystal
ball,
trying
to
find
every
little
thing
that
we,
we
believe
is
there
part
of
the
the
difficulty
with
with
us,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
funding
of
the
project,
is
that
this
project
dates
back
to
like
2001
right
and
so
we've
been
working
with
finance
to
understand
better
how
to
reconcile
those
accounts.
We
in
the
engineering
department
have
a
real,
clear
understanding
of
the
infrastructure,
cost
construction
costs.
P
There's
costs
associated
with
that
lighting.
You
know
this
is
a
you
know,
a
big
cost,
but
we
we
think
you
know
on
the
flip
side.
Part
of
the
energy
invested
in
getting
this
project
to
market
has
probably
saved
you
untold
millions
and
getting
this
project
constructed
when
we
did
getting
it
out
on
the
street.
Things
like
that,
I'm
seeing
numbers
right
now
that
are
like
astronomical
we're,
not
talking
double
triple
quadruple
what
we
could
put
pipe
in
the
ground
for
less
than
a
year
ago.
You
can't
buy
the
pipe
for
you
know.
P
So
all
of
that,
when
you
look
at
it
yeah
it's
a
big
number,
but
I
think
bossier's
done
a
great
job
at
trying
to
get
projects
to
market,
get
good
competition
on
those
and
give
the
community
a
lot
of
value
for
the
money
that's
being
spent.
So
it's
a
lot
of
money.
I
understand
that
it's
a
big
ask
and
that's
why
we're
putting
it
into
y'all's
hands
to
make
that
decision.
We
think
it's
the
right
path
forward.
I
P
I
Yeah
is
that
was
that
number
set
forth
by
dotd?
No,
that's
just
what
we
came.
P
Up
with
that
is
we
had
it
designed
we
had
an
electrical
engineer,
put
together
a
set
of
plans
and
they
used
their
industry
standards
for
ensuring
that
the
appropriate
spacing
for
lighting
and
things
like
that.
So
much
like
what
you
see
on
phase
one
if
you've
been
through
there
at
night,
it
looks
really
good
it'll
have
that
same,
look
and
feel
so
from
traffic
street
all
the
way
to
benton
road
and
the
signals
it'll
be
on
benton
road
it'll
have
that
same
flavor
going
through
there
all
right.
P
A
G
E
G
P
63
million
and
some
change-
that's
not
the
balance,
but
that's
what's
in
there
currently
for
that
to
get
these
projects.
G
A
G
We
needed
additional
money,
so
we
we
have
this
2018
lcd
egg
bond.
It
was,
I
think
it
was
20
million.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
that's
out
there
that
we're
utilizing
to
subsidize
the
carriageway
to
complete
the
project
and
going
forward
whenever
we
get
the
price
on
the
sound
barriers
and
so
forth.
I
would
suggest
that
we
take
the
money
out
of
the
lcda,
so
you'll
need
to
add
that
I
think
to
what
your
question
is.
Mr
darby.
E
Okay,
I
got
the
it
was
a
2018
lcd
bond
with
60
million.
Remaining
balance
is
until
55
billion.
K
B
And
how
much
when
can
we
expect
the
rest
of
these
big
ticket
items
that
are
going
to
be
coming
to
be
calculated
and
money
appropriated.
P
Soon,
we're
working
right
now
we
have
finally
gotten
perm.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
the
administration
ahead
of
me,
we've
been
working
with
the
corps
and
the
levy
board
on
permits
for
citizens.
Bank
drive
part
of
the
issue.
There
is
that
the
drive
is
going
to
have
a
little
depression
and
go
underneath
the
overpass
and
it's
abutting
the
levee,
so
we
needed
a
permit
for
that,
and
then
we
have
a
storm
water
pump
station
that
will
be
going
in
to
take
all
the
drainage
around
there.
P
That
pump
station
will
pump
over
the
levy
both
of
those
measures
required
levy
and
core
approval.
We
got
those
like
wednesday
last
week,
working
through
the
formalities,
so
we
will
be
bringing
those
projects
to
the
council
want
to
tie
a
bow
around
everything
at
that
time,
so
that
we
know
we've
got.
You
know
flush
accounts
to
take
care
of
everything.
P
So
that's
our
intent
to
do
it
we're
working
now
but
like
I'm,
not
an
accountant
like
this
gentleman
is
when
you
start
looking
at
20
years
of
of
ordinances
and
figures,
it's
difficult
and
you
know,
even
with
the
finance
department,
we're
we
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
come
to
the
council,
it's
crystal
clear.
That's
our
objective!
D
C
I
P
F
D
E
A
D
Introduce
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
reclassification
of
an
electrician
to
electrician
three
to
a
control
panel
technician
and
a
reclassification
of
a
utility
worker.
One
position
to
a
form
in
one
position
in
the
public
utilities
department
resulting
in
a
net
neutral
change
to
the
operating
budget.
First
reading.
E
C
D
B
P
Yes,
so
what
we're
primarily
upgrading,
not
primarily
what
we're
upgrading
with
the
ozone
system
is
the
computer
equipment.
We
do
have
an
older
ozone
system.
We
take
very
good
care
of
it.
We
we,
through
the
council,
invest
quite
a
bit
of
money,
making
sure
that
that
system
is
fully
functional.
What
we
were
running
into
is
we're
having
control
boards
that
are
failing
and
our
ability
to
get
our
hands
on
that
equipment
is,
is
fading
because
they're,
older
and
so
working
with
our
I.t
professionals
out
at
the
plant.
P
We
we
considered
sort
of
piece
mailing
this
together,
but
the
system
is
too
important
to
the
quality
of
water
and
bozier,
and
we
felt
like
getting
that
completely
functional.
You
know
we
were
talking
about
I.t
security
and
things
like
this.
It's
important
to
have
all
those
firewalls
and
everything
there,
so
this
will
completely
overhaul
all
of
the
electrical
components
on
that
system
and
it'll
last
I
mean
it's
lasted
over
a
decade,
the
the
old
system
that
we've
had
out
there.
D
E
A
H
A
A
All
right,
good,
good
job,
david,
all
right.
Let's
vote,
please.
F
D
Carries
introduce
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
reclassification
of
an
assistant
superintendent
position
to
operations
and
public
programs
manager
and
a
promotion
of
a
clerk
typist
operations
and
public
programs
manager
in
the
animal
control,
division
of
public
works
and
backfill
and
backfill
any
position
left
vacant
due
to
promotion
and
resulting
in
a
net
neutral
change
to
the
operating
budget.
First
reading.
C
A
P
The
plan
is
currently
you
have
two
mobile
home
parks
in
this
location.
If
you're
familiar
with
our
big
water
tower
down
on
71
south
you
have.
This
is
just
one
of
those
two
parks
they
reached
out
to
the
city,
had
some
interest
in
the
city,
consolidating
their
water
and
sewer
systems
into
the
cities
and
we're
familiar
with
the
water
sector
program
grant
which
awards
money
to
water
and
sewer
systems
that
consolidate
with
other
systems.
P
Given
it
a
lot
of
consideration,
the
particular
project,
the
water
in
particular
that
we
applied
for
in
the
first
round
of
funding,
was
only
short
of
getting
awarded
by
five
points
and
so
having
the
the
consolidation
component
as
part
of
our
application
to
ldh
is
advantageous
to
the
city
for
getting
points,
and
we
can
get
up
to
five
million
dollars
from
that
program.
So
we
feel
like
it.
It's
a
mutually
beneficial
thing
for
us,
as
well
as
them,
and
getting
a
very
good
application
in
front
of
the
water
sector
program.
P
So
just
sort
of
interesting
timing,
they
came
to
us,
you
know
and-
and
I
think
it
was
a
blessing
really
because
I
think
it
could
be
good
for
the
city
in
getting
those
applications.
Consolidation
is
that's
the
word
that
they
use
down
in
baton
rouge.
The
ldh
and
deq
really
want
to
reduce
the
number
of
water
and
sewer
systems
they
have
within
the
state,
so
they're
providing
a
lot
of
grant
dollars
and
infrastructure
dollars
to
making
that
happen.
P
P
We're
creating
a
whole
new
application,
so
we're
not
re
we're
using
what
we've
provided
in
round
one
as
a
you
know,
foundation
and
then
we're
working
off
of
that
to
augment
there's
a
lot
of
things.
The
city's
done
since
that
first
application.
The
the
water
project
in
particular,
is
a
hundred
percent
designed.
So
we
have
plans
and
specs.
P
So
you
get
points
for
project
readiness,
but
the
if
you
go
if
you're
involved
in
any
water
sector
program,
stuff
or
any
conferences
with
ldh,
you
will
hear
the
word
consolidation
in
every
other
sentence,
so
it's
very
important
to
them
and
I
think
that
will
bode
well
for
the
city.
So.
P
And
if
we
get
it
that
will
provide
money,
they'll
need
infrastructure,
water
and
sewer
to
service
that
that
park
there,
and
that
this
grant
will
provide
funds
for
that.
They've
agreed
to
put
in
a
25
match
to
that
city
will
have
to
put
up
at
least
a
25
match
on
top
of
the
5
million.
P
So
I
think
it's
you
know
it
makes
for
a
more
complicated
grant
to
write,
but
I
think
at
the
end
I
think
it's
going
to
give
the
city
a
much
better
chance
at
getting
those
funds,
and
there
wasn't
one
community
in
north,
maybe
one
community
in
northwest
louisiana
outside
of
shreveport
that
got
money
last
round.
So
we'd
like
to
see
some
up
here.
E
M
Understanding
will
be
working
from
the
mayor's
office,
miss
ponder
officer,
ponder
and
her
situation,
and
so
basically
we're
taking
the
remaining
money
from
her
salary
and
we're
transferring
it
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
to
the
mayor's
office
and
then,
and
it
will
work
from
the
whoever
is
hired.
As
the
public
information
officer
will
work
in
the
mayor's
administration.
M
We're
removing
a
civil
service
position
from
the
police
station
and
moving
that
position
into
the
mayor's
office,
so
they
will
not
have
to
be
a
post-certified
police
officer,
civil
service
requirements,
things
of
that
nature.
C
E
M
No,
that
is
not
correct.
It's
the
21.9
funds
it
through
the
december
31st
of
2022.
E
M
Well,
assuming
that
the
second
reading,
the
the
21
000
in
in
change,
passes,
then
this
resolution
would
allow
the
immediate
hiring
of
dell
touch,
so
he
can
actually
go
to
work,
but
the
money
to
pay
him
through
the
end
of
december.
31
of
2022
won't
be
available
until
that
second
reading,
plus
the
10-day
advertisement
period.
L
E
G
G
So
we're
going
to
be
pretty
close.
I
don't
think
we
have
to
spend
the
money
correct.
It's
allocated
through
the
ordinance,
but
roughly
his
salary
is
going
to
be
4,
500
and,
and
it
ceases
on
1231.
I
was
going
to
propose
also
that
this
resolution
we
can,
we
correct
it
and
put
it
on
for
august
30th,
so
that
after,
if
the
vote
passes
for
the
salary
of
21
000,
then
we'll
pass
the
resolution
so
that
it
all
happens
at
the
same
time.
G
But
it's
been
about,
and
I
think
and
if
I'm
not
answering
question
tell
me,
but
I
think
what
you're
saying
is:
why
are
we
appropriating
21
000?
What
doesn't
mean
we
gotta
spend
it
because
he
he
ceases
his
services,
twelve
thirty
one.
So
there
may
be
a
little
money
left
over
and
we
can
transfer
it
back
to
the
police
department.
C
C
Q
Mr
williams,
if
I
can
clarify,
I
think
I
can
clear
it
up.
The
ordinances
are
the
two
readings
for
the
ordinances
are
just
to
move
the
money,
the
21
000..
We
got
the
numbers
from
miss
williamson,
where
we
were
anticipating
when
this
would
come
before
the
council.
Frankly,
the
21
000
is
going
to
be
more
than
enough
to
get
to
the
end
of
the
year.
That's
just
21
000
to
fund
mr
touch's
2022
salary.
Q
The
resolution
that
you're
on
now
is
just
the
resolution
that
we
bring
just
like
we
did
with
the
with
the
to
hire
a
public
information
officer
or
anybody.
It's
the
normal
ordinance.
We
were
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
it
was
clear
that
if
he
on
an
annualized
basis,
the
salary
is
55
000.,
that's
just
the
salary
he'll
be
paid
21,
000
or
something
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
but
it
ends
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Q
Q
K
A
A
D
B
A
Promotion,
mr
montgomery,
second,
mr
smith,
is
there
in
the
discussion
on
this
item.
D
Motion
carries
adopt
a
resolution
to
amend
resolution
55
of
2022
authorizing
the
hiring
of
an
office
manager
in
the
public
utilities
department
as
a
result
of
a
retirement
and
adjusting
salaries
for

First
and
final
reading.

It
doesn't
not
anymore,
where
is
it?

it
just
goes
around

Okay,
anyone
from
the
public
would
like
to
come
in
on
this.
N
Good
afternoon
council
mayor
chandler,
you
have
before
you
the
financials
for
the
month
ended
july,
31st
2022

report.
The
city
is
currently
20
percent.
Over

due
to
the

report.
The
city
is
currently
77
under
budget
civic
center
fund
expenditures
increased
for
july
compared
to
prior
year,
due
to
the
restroom
renovation,
public

to
a
timing
difference
in
the
payment
of
the

O
O
We
moved
about
four
projects
from
the
designer
bid
phase
into
construction
for
around
12
and
still
11
subdivisions
in
or
nearing
the
construction
phase
carriageway
phase
two
where
they
are
now
31
days
ahead
of
schedule.
They
are
blowing
and
going
out
there
doing
really
good,
taking
advantage
of
all
the
dry
weather.
O
We
had.
Somebody
go
take
some
aerial
photographs
of
the
project
as
it's
coming
on
we'll
be
doing
this
throughout
the
duration
of
the
project.
This
right
here
is
one
of
the
roundabouts
being
constructed,
and
then
this
right
here
is
the
end
of
phase
one.
You
can
see
as
they
go
all
the
way
up
through
phase
two.
O
We
will
be
working
with
it
to
get
a
lot
of
the
photos
and
videos
that
we
took
uploaded
to
the
city's
website,
hopefully
later
this
week,
so
people
can
go
and
take
a
look
at
it
carriageway
pump
station.
This
is
substantially
complete.
You
saw
today
we
had
the
closeout
close
out
change
order,
we'll
get
that
project
marked
off
east
bank
fire
station.
They're.
Now
saying
about
eight
days
ahead
of
schedule,
we'll
be
wrapping
that
one
up
interior
finish
is
getting
ready
to
move
forward
currently
working
on
getting
some
preliminary
punchless
going
ltri.
O
They
are
27
days
ahead.
Currently
they're
working
with
louisiana
tech
trying
to
get
all
the
interior
finishes
done,
working
closely
with
adam
mcgirt
over
there,
as
well
as
facility
planning
control
to
get
this
project
wrapped
up
highway.
71
lighting
improvements.
This
one
is
ongoing,
we're
just
waiting
on
stockpile
materials
to
get
them
in
once
we
get
those
in
they'll
be
starting
to
do
foundations
like
conduit
stuff,
like
that.
O
Until
that
time,
though,
we'll
just
let
them
hold
for
now,
beasure
arts,
council
improvements
ntp
has
been
issued
again
waiting
on
a
lot
of
the
materials
to
come
in,
so
we
can
get
started
on
it.
O
O
Some
of
our
projects
entering
the
are
out
for
bid
one
big
one
that
changed
was
the
full
load
range
improvements.
We
took
bids
on
that
friday
issuing
contracts
this
week
and
hopefully
get
some
pipe
ordered
and
we'll
be
seeing
some
dirt
tone
turned
over
down
there
still
working
on
barlow
lane,
montgomery
drainage
improvements.
O
Reviewing
the
preliminary
plans
with
the
designer
should
have
a
set
of
plans
on
the
city-wide
street
improvements.
In
two
weeks
we
got
those
about
90
percent,
complete
trying
to
coordinate
with
the
levy
board
