today
in
the
talents
that
you
have
given
her

talents.
As

Members
are

observe

quietly.
City
council
has
appointed
the
city
Marshals
as
a
sergeant
of
arms,
and
they
have
been
instructed
to
maintain
a
quorum

ask
anyone
in

in
Council
under
announcements.
The
mayor
has
a
presentation
that
he
would
like
to
make
at
this
time.
D
F
Or
should
she
followed
her
dream
to
become
a
part
of
the
LSU
basketball
program,
even
though
no
scholarship
was
offered,
she
followed
her
dream
and
joined
the
LSU
basketball
program
as
preferred
walk-on
and
never
look
back
and
whereas
Emily
worked
hard
after
two
years
earned
a
scholarship
with
the
LG
program.
However,
right
after
earning
the
scholarship,
there
was
a
change
of
coaches
and
the
politics
outstanding
Talent
surrounded
her.
She
once
again
found
herself
with
no
scholarship
to
get
photos
kept
working
hard
and
kept
dreaming,
and
her
fourth
year
earned
scholarship
status
with
the
new
coach.
F
This
same
year,
her
energy
and
Leadership
were
noticed
by
her
new
teammates
and
she
was
voted
team
captain
of
the
team
who
would
become
national
championship
and
whereas
Pierce
is
a
true
champion
in
the
story,
inspires
us
to
follow
dreams,
even
women
still,
and
your
success
reminds
us
that
the
victories
that
followed
the
determination
and
hard
work
changed
through
life.
Your
future
is
right
and.
G
F
C
My
opinion
and
Miss
Bells
do
not
differ
greatly.
There
are
a
few
issues.
I
think
that
we
that
we,
that
don't
coincide
but
we're
up
Miss,
Bell
and
I
are
pretty
much
on
the
same
page
of
this.
There
is
the
two
problems
that
are
presented
with
this
effort
to
force
an
amendment
to
the
Charter
or
to
invoke
an
amendment
to
the
Charter
by
use
of
referendum.
C
There
is
a
petition
process
that
is
outlined
in
chapter
21
of
the
charter.
That
would
allows
the
city
council
to
proceed
properly,
receive
a
referendum
or
not
a
referendum,
but
a
petition
that's
properly
certified
by
the
register
of
Voters,
with
the
requisite
number
of
signatures,
as
required
by
section
5.01
of
the
chart.
C
The
problem,
the
first
major
problem
and
I,
think
there
are
two
major
problems.
The
first
major
problem
is
the
petition
which
has
been
presented
to
the
city
council,
which
was
in
fact
certified
by
the
register
of
Voters,
is,
in
my
opinion,
improperly
certified
Miss
Bell's
opinion
is
improperly
certified
in
the
fact
that
it
does
not
contain
the
year
of
birth,
of
the
signatories,
Louisiana
revised
Statute
18
colon
3.,
basically
says,
notwithstanding
any
other
provision
of
the
law.
C
To
the
contrary,
every
petition
submitted
to
a
Registrar
of
Voters
for
certification
shall
contain
the
following
information,
and
if
you
go
to
sub
paragraph
three,
it
says
the
signers
Ward
Precinct
in
year
of
birth.
After
examining
the
petition,
the
year
of
birth
is
not
present
for
any
of
the
signatories
who
affixed
their
signature
to
this
petition.
C
Therefore,
the
the
language
in
1803
appears
to
be
mandatory,
so
my
first
advice
to
the
city
is:
we've
gotten
my
opinion,
we've
gotten
Miss,
Bell's
opinion
and
I
think
it
needs.
You
know
to
be
presented
to
the
attorney
general
in
an
expedited
fashion.
If
the
city
council
so
chooses
to
get
the
the
last
and
final
opinion
of
the
Attorney
General.
C
The
second
question:
should
the
petition
survive
the
election
code
requirements
is
the
the
language
that
was
presented
to
the
signatories
in
the
petition
was
not
required
in
the
required
form
of
an
ordinance
in
order
to
amend
the
charter
pursuant
to
section
21
through
the
petition
process
and
referendum.
The
language
presented
to
the
voters
has
to
be
presented
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance
I
feel
that
the
the
language
prepared
was
lacking.
C
Ms
Bell
feels
that,
but
we
don't
even
reach
that
issue
until
such
a
time
as
we
can
solve
the
the
very
first
issue:
18
colon
3..
You
have
two
ways
to
amend
the
charter.
You
have
the
referee,
the
petition
and
referendum,
and
then
you
have
this,
the
the
city
council
action.
If
the
city
council
so
desires.
If
the
city
council
were
to
prepare
their
own
ordinance,
then
that
would
have
to
be
subject
to
the
Charter
commission
process.
C
Given
my
opinion,
this
Bell's,
given
her
opinion,
is
this
election
code
problem,
because
if
the
petition
does
not
survive
the
election
code
problem,
then
it's
a
nullity
and
a
week
from
now
a
year
from
now
12
years
from
now
somebody
you
know,
after
serving
three
times
can
challenge.
You
know
the
term
limit
provision
the
proposed
term
limit
provision,
if,
in
fact
it
reached
the
city
council
through
an
improper
process.
E
A
D
Russian
carries
all
right.
Council
I
had
a
request
for
an
addition,
be
new
business
number
16,
adopt
a
resolution
authorized
in
the
Bossier
City
Council
to
request
an
opinion
from
Louisiana
attorney
general
regarding
the
validity
of
the
petition
delivered
on
July
10
2023
by
the
Bossier
term
limits
Coalition,
first
and
final
reading,
and
this
item
is
requested
to
be
added
on
following
the
receipt
of
attorney
recommendations
and
time
sensitivity.
Second,.
H
H
C
To
answer
it:
yes,
sir:
well,
the
again
I
gave
my
opinion
Miss
Bell's,
given
her
opinion
and
the
resolution
before
the
council
is
to
request
an
opinion,
an
expedited
opinion
on
this
matter,
and
this
matter
only
and
again,
I
understand
the
mayor
is
in
favor
of
term
limits.
You're
in
favor
of
term
limits,
Mr
Hammonds,
Mr
Smith
has
made
known
he's
in
favor
of
term
limits.
But
if
we
do
not
act
properly
and
solve
this
issue,
then
we're
not
going
to
get
term
limits.
C
We
we
were
going
to
get
litigation
and
that's
what
I
think
that
would
be
my
advice
for
the
both
the
mayor
and
the
council.
We
need
to
avoid,
and
so
this
is
not
an
opinion
on
the
entire
scope
of
the
term
limits,
but
it
is
an
opinion.
It
does.
The
petition
that
has
been
presented
to
the
council
was
it
properly
certified
due
to
the
lack
of
year
of
birth,
information
of
the
signatories,
so.
H
I
got
one
more
I,
I
agree
with
all
of
that,
I,
don't
think
the
question
comes
into
who
is
for
term
limits
and
who
is
against
it.
I
guess
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
make
if
three
weeks
ago,
my
motion
to
send
this
to
the
attorney
general
from
the
get-go.
Instead
of
wasting
taxpayers
money
on
an
outside
attorney,
then
we
would
already
have
the
Attorney
General's
opinion
and
I
mean
I,
don't
know
what
this
outside
attorney
cost
I
still
haven't
seen
a
bill
on
it.
H
That's
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
make
that
we
should
have
gone
to
the
attorney
general.
That
is
what
he
is
here
for
in
the
state
of
Louisiana
is
for
stuff.
Just
like
this
for
public
entities.
They
have
a
whole
department
for
that,
so
that
that
is
my
point
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this,
so
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
it
to
the
attorney
general.
I
If
I
could,
yes
or
yes,
I
believe
the
the
question
was,
what
actually
was
faulting
in
the
petition
and
I?
Think
for
clarity
that
we
wanted
outside
counsel
to
specifically
Define
what
they
perceived
as
the
fault
or
false
and
or
false
in
the
petition,
and
to
go
to
the
attorney
general
to
get
an
expedited
opinion
you
need
very
defined
parameters,
am
I
correct
so
that
they
can
say
yay
or
nay
to
the
questions
that
you
have
as
to
fault
in
the
petition.
I
I
In
the
past,
when
we
have
gone
to
the
attorney
general,
what
normally
happens
is
they
come
back
and
it
could
be
Weeks
Later.
Well,
exactly.
Where
do
you
find
fault?
You
can't
ask
them
to
examine
the
whole
petition,
asking
them
where
the
fault
lies.
I
mean
that's
as
far
as
our
past.
They
want
you
to
Define
as
to
what
you
think
is
right
or
wrong.
C
C
I
C
E
E
E
E
B
You
know
and
I
kind
of
I
kind
of
came
prepared
today
to
kind
of
give
my
take
on
what
I
think
this
is
good
policy
and
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
Miss
Bell
and
Mr
Jacobs
and
Mr
Ray,
and
you
know
my
mind.
My
mind
is
kind
of
altered,
because
today's
vote
in
today's
action
wasn't
necessarily
about
term
limits.
There's
actually
much
more
than
that
to
today's
potential
action
in
number.
B
Six
and
eleven
was
telling
the
voters
of
Bossier
who
signed
a
petition
that
you
know
we
hear
you
and
we're
and
we're
taking
you
up
and
I.
Think.
In
my
humble
opinion,
we
can
get
outside
opinions
from
different
attorneys.
We
can
get
attorney
general's
opinions,
you
know
we
can.
We
can
get
opinions
and
we
can
just
continue
to
to
to
Kick
the
Can
or
we
can
just
take
action,
and
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
the
council
just
take
action.
B
You
know
there's
two
ways
that
a
charter
can
be
amended
and
I
think
that
you
know.
Abraham
Lincoln
once
said
that
this
was
a
nation
of
the
People
by
the
people
and
for
the
people
and
I.
Don't
know
that
our
founding
fathers,
when
they
went
on
this
experiment
of
America,
that
they
that
they
expected
the
very
complex
laws
that
we
have
now
and
you
know,
laws
are
needed
for
sure.
B
It
maintains
Law
and
Order
and
and
make
sure
that
there's
a
proper
way
but
I
don't
think
the
the
idea
was
for
the
Layman
to
have
to
navigate
complex
code
to
help
make
change
and
let
their
voice
be
heard
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
remember
that.
You
know
the
the
principles
that
are
our
our
country
was
founded
on
and
maybe
there's
flaws
with
the
petition.
B
B
You
know,
so
we
will
pick
up
the
Baton
and
we
will
do
it.
We
will
do
it
the
the
alternate
way
and
at
least
give
them
the
vote.
Look
I'm,
I'm
a
pretty
sensible
guy
I'm,
not
here
to
cause
controversy
I'm
here
to
just
do
what
I
think
is
right
and
you
know
I
I
will
admit
that
all
65
000
people
that
live
in
Bossier
City,
not
all
of
them,
agree
with
this
policy.
B
I
think
a
vast
majority
do
and
I
do
think
it's
good
policy,
but
the
3000
at
least
they
weren't
trying
to
make
the
minds
up
for
all
65
000.
They
just
were
asking
for
a
chance
to
let
the
voters
decide
on
it
and
I
think
that
is
the
important
thing
that
we
need
to
remember
is
that
the
the
voters
deserve
to
at
least
have
their
vote
cast
and
their
voice
heard
on
this
matter.
So
I
hope
that
we
will
not.
B
You
know,
because
it's
been
a
month
and
a
half
we've
talked
about
this
at
ad
nauseam
and
I.
I
would
like
us
to
at
least
just
move
forward
and
kind
of
put
this
behind
us
and
get
to
a
resolution,
because
I
don't
think
the
petitioners
care
if
we
have
to
pick
up
the
ball
and
do
it
the
alternate
way
as
long
as
they
get
their
voice
heard
so
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
I
Sir
Mr
Smith
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
in
a
conversation,
Mr
Darby
had
asked
me
to
reach
out
regarding
the
issue
of
Charter
commissions
and
so
forth.
We've
done
that
in
the
past
it
appears
as
though
things
could
have
been
done
differently,
so
I
reached
out
to
Mr,
Jacobs
and
Miss
Bell
to
ensure
going
forward
that
we
do
this
by
the
book
since
we're
doing
this
by
the
book.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
charter
Commission
am
I,
correct,
Mr,
Jacobs
and
Mr
Darby
that
it's
done
by
the
book.
I
We
to
your
point,
you
hear
the
people,
it
is
their
right
to
have
this
referendum
put
forth
and
voted
on.
That's
what
America
and
democracy
is
all
about,
but
we
want
to
ensure
to
Mr
Jacob's
point
that
this
is
done
correctly
and
it
cannot
be
challenged
in
the
future.
You
spoke
of
a
rule
of
law
in
America.
I
Unfortunately,
we're
governed
by
a
lot
of
lawyers
and
a
lot
of
business
people
might
find
fault
in
how
many
we
have
I've
seen
my
cousin,
no
he's
already
left,
judge
Stinson,
but
I
mean
we
all
laugh
about
that,
but
it
you
know
we
are
in
the
position.
We
are
today
that
you
know
courts
and
laws
and
judges
and
lawyers.
It's
just
the
nature
of
the
Beast,
so
to
speak.
A
K
K
K
Yes
and
I
want
to
talk
to
I,
want
to
talk
to
you
about
the
fact
that
too,
that
we're
overlooking
2977
people,
I
unders
I'd,
like
a
copy
of
the
charter
as
written
so
I,
can
seek
counsel,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
it
never
happens
again
and
we
come
back
and
we're
going
to
come
back.
We
will
have
everything
dotted
and
cross
Chris
if
you
could
get
that
for
me.
I'd
much
appreciate
it
speak
to
me,
sir.
K
L
L
M
M
These
are
certainly
closer
based
on
the
documents
that
we've
got
I
believe
it's
a
little
bit
more
money
than
what
we
have
appropriated
for
that
I'll
need
to
just
look
over
these
bids
and
then
come
back
before
the
council
I
believe
strongly.
This
needs
to
be
done
and
done
properly
so
that
we
don't
have
continuing
issues
out
there.
I.
B

A
B
A

Good
evening
Council
Mr
Mayor,
what
this
is
we
apply
for
a
Federal
grant.
Every
year
we
split
it
with
the
sheriff's
department.
50
50
will
receive
half
they
receive.
Half
a
part
of
the
criteria
is,
is
that
we
do
ask
for
a
resolution,
public
hearing
and
then
submit
that
back
to
them,
stating
that
we've
done
so
before
they
award
the
grant.
N
That's
what
it's
here
for
we'll
use
the
funds
we
get
it
every
year.
We've
done
it
for
I
want
to
say
right
at
17
years
it
funds
extra
patrols
towards
the
end
of
the
year
whenever
we
get
into
Christmas
season.
One
of
the
things
that
it
does
is
the
armed
robbery
task
force.
We've
done
that
every
year
and
it'll
fund
all
the
overtime
for
stuff
like
that.
O
A
G
E
D
J
Yes,
I
will
state
that
the
MPC
saw
fit
to
limit
the
amount
of
space
growth
space
that
the
alcohol
sales
could
take
place.
It's
one
and
a
half
percent
at
a
couple
of
locations
also
will
state
that
the
alcohol
request
is
for
beer
that
will
be
along
the
lines
of
five
percent.
There
will
be
no
liquor
sales,
there
will
be
some
wine
cells
upwards
of
12
percent
and
there
won't
be
any
singles
sold
at
these
locations,
so
they
did
make
those
conditions
for
a
couple
of
the
locations.
So.
E
E
J
B
J
E
D
I
B
You
know,
I
have
a
I,
have
I,
took
a
a
red
line
stance
on
this
issue
several
weeks
ago,
when
the
mayor
first
brought
it
up.
However,
with
with
that
additional
oversight
in
the
ordinances
later
on
in
the
agenda,
I
could
be
persuaded
to
support
this.
Since
you
know
there
will
be
a
monthly
report
provided
allow
showing
us
changes
in
pay
and
and
and
changes
in
employment
that
we
haven't
always
been
privy
to
to
receive
from
the
administration
in
the
past.
I
It
just
starts
growing
and
before
you
know
it,
it's
grown
into
a
deficit
that
you
can't
handle
once
they
hire
and
once
they
do
this,
the
only
control
that
you
have
the
next
year
is
through
the
budget
and
if
it
grows
to
that
point
because
you
can't
undo
even
though
you
get
this
report,
all
they're
doing
is
telling
you
what
we
did
and
if
a
mistake's
made
or
you've
overspent
money
that
you
don't
have
revenues
went
down,
then
it's
done.
You
cannot
reverse
it
just
because
you
have
a
report
and
I'm.
I
From
you
know,
historically,
it
becomes
an
issue
and
you
can't
address
it
for
potentially
over
a
year.
You
know
until
the
next
budget
is
adopted.
At
that
point
it
is
grown
into
a
monster,
and
this
isn't
saying
anything
against
the
mayor
or
anything
against
the
administration.
We
have
witnessed
this
it
just
whatever
happens
it
happens
and
with
this
budgetary
control
of
getting
approval
for
promotions
for
new
hires,
we
are
able
to
look
at
that
point
in
time.
Can
we
afford
it?
Does.
I
It's
not
in
in
the
12
years
that
it's
been
in
place.
It
has
never
been
an
impedance
to
Public
Safety.
It
has
not
been
an
impedance
to
hire
if,
in
fact
it
is
that
desperate
that
someone
is
needed,
I
believe
there's
four
councilmen
that'll
be
here
in
a
moment's
notice
to
call
a
special
meeting
and
get
that
done,
and
I
I
plead
with
my
fellow
councilman
to
understand
that
this
is
a
a
unique
budgetary
control.
I
I
O
F
No
wait,
no
I'm,
I'm,
saying
something:
okay
right
now,
all
right!
The
people
elected
me
to
be
the
mayor.
I
need
I
need
to
run
the
city
and
if
I
don't
run
the
city
in
the
right,
I
mean
every
month.
Angela
comes
up
here
and
tells
y'all
what
how
the
money
is
and
months
money's
always
right
and
if
I
start
doing
wrong.
That's
when
y'all
can
start
griping
or
something
like
that,
but
I
haven't
had
the
chance
to
see
how
you
know
what
I
can
do
all
right.
F
G
F
E
H
You
know
the
whole
reason
that
we
removed
the
restrictions
on
the
fire
and
police
is
we
had
both
Chiefs,
who
we
you
know.
We
entrust
in
running
both
of
those
departments,
especially
Chief
Haugen,
that
the
time
frame
that
it
takes
to
get
a
policeman
hired
and
the
amount
of
fire
and
police
that
were
coming
upon
that
are
retiring.
A
lot
of
them
are
on
the
drop
everything
like
that.
You
know
when
they
throw
out
that
hey
they'll
give
a
civil
service
test,
then
they
have
to
jump
through.
H
H
D
D
E
O
I
You
Patrick,
yes,
sir,
who
for
the
record,
Mr
Campbell's
office
with
the
Public
Service
Commission,
has
been
very
generous
through
the
years
in
obtaining
I,
want
to
say
over
a
million
dollars
or
more
to
help
us
out
with
updating
our
lighting.
So
we
we
thank
him
and
his
office.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you.
Patrick.
A
B
P
Good
afternoon
Council
and
mayor
Tamara,
crane,
Bossier
Council
on
Aging
on
first
I.
Do.
Thank
you
all
on
behalf
of
our
board,
the
staff
that
work
in
this
facility
and
ultimately,
the
seniors
of
Bossier
City
and
the
whole
Paris
as
this
building
is
actually
the
Hub
that
help
us
serve
over
4,
000,
seniors
and
their
caregivers.
Thank
you
all
for
finally
doing
this
back
in
2018.
P
If
my
memory
serves
me
correctly,
this
Bond
we
had
originally
looked
at
about
six
to
eight
million
and,
of
course,
other
things
kind
of
took
precedence
so
finally,
truly
getting
to
see
this
allocation
to
get
the
wheels
going
on
this
bus
and
this
Center.
We
truly
appreciate
it.
I
do
know
that
we
are
still
looking
for
possibly
some.
Please
jury
money
to
help,
and
also
the
mayor's
office
is
doing
some
Capital
outlay.
P
Requests
to
legislation
that
later
on
in
this
fall,
our
board
and
my
staff
are
very
committed
to,
as
I
have
been
presented
at
the
committee
means
we,
my
staff
will
tell
you
I'm
cheap,
but
I'm
always
trying
to
save
money.
For
things
like
this,
we
have
about
a
million
dollars
of
our
money
because
we
know
wherever
we
get
we're
probably
going
to
have
to
you-
have
some
equipment,
this
kind
of
stuff.
So
we
come
to
the
table
also
vested
in
this
and
the
best
way
that
we
can
serve
our
seniors.
P
I
know
that
we
are
still
looking
at
data
and
some
needs
list
from
us,
ideally
the
parking
and
how
much
space
we
truly
need
to
serve
our
seniors.
So
I
am
Gathering
that
and
we'll
be
presenting
that
within
the
committee
meeting.
So
again,
just
want
to
thank
you
all
so
much
for
filing.
Let's
just
getting
this
going,
and
everything
and
I'm
open
for
any
questions,
if
need
be,.
H
Yeah
I
do,
and
but
before
I
start.
Let
me,
let
me
just
say:
I
am
100
for
getting
a
new
Council
on
Aging
the
questions
that
I
have
being
in
the
construction
business.
We're
coming
up
with
a
four
million
dollar
budget
here,
I've
seen
no
plans
on
what
this
building
is
going
to
be.
We
don't
know
where
the
building
is
going
to
go,
I'm,
just
kind
of
wondering
where
we're
coming
up
with
this
four
million
dollar
number.
E
N
H
C
Yes,
and
no,
there
is
the
the
as
I
understand
it.
The
money
is
to
be
committed
or
appropriated
from
the
else
2018
LCPA
Bond
and
the
language
of
that
Bond
calls
into
question
whether
you
can
have
it
talks
about
city-owned
improvements,
structures,
Capital
Improvements
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
it
calls
into
question
as
to
whether,
if
the
police
jury
or
anybody
else
is
going
to
contribute
money,
is
this
building
going
to
be
co-owned
and
in
division?
And
it's
possible
that
the
body
language
would
have
to
be
amended
to
allow
that?
C
If,
if
you're
going
to
have
four
million
dollars
for
a
project
with
a
matching
four
million
dollars,
then
the
ownership
of
that
building
would
necessarily
I
would
assume
be
co-owned
at
in
division
between
the
city
and
the
police,
jury
and
the
language
of
the
bond.
The
original
Bond
calls
that
into
question,
but.
B
H
P
So
Bossier
City
for
a
lot
of
our
stuff
is
our
highest
concentration
of
numbers.
If
you
look
at
other
municipalities,
obviously
bojasu
does
more
than
Benton
Bossier
City
does
more
than
hot,
and
if
you
take
everything
outside
of
Bossier
City
and
add
it
up,
Bossier
City
is
still
slightly
ahead
with
some
Services.
Some
things
is
not.
H
I
would
just
like
I
mean
if,
for
some
reason
we
didn't
get
any
money
from
from
the
parish
on
this,
and
this
was
100
percent
on
the
city.
I
just
want
us
to
make
sure
that
this
project
I
know
you
have
a
million
dollars
and
we're
hoping
for
some
we're
hoping
for
some
more
money.
We
always
hope
for
Capital
outlay
money,
but
it
just
seems
like
we
don't
get
any
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
project
can
be
done
and
stay
in
budget
is
the
main
thing
that
that
wouldn't
address
the.
B
Mr
President,
thank
you
just
to
clear
up
for
councilman
Hammond's.
We
asked
for
the
administration
to
send
a
letter
to
the
police
jury
asking
for
their
for
an
allocation,
and
the
administration
asked
that
we
go
ahead
and
appropriate
our
share
before
we
ask
the
the
parish,
and
so
that's
that's
simply.
What
this
is
is
just
saying:
look.
We
have
four
million
dollars
that
we'll
bring
to
the
table.
B
B
They're
police,
jurors,
that
represent
parts
of
the
city
and
their
constituents
use
this
as
well.
So
that
should
not
be
forgotten
on
them
and
then
I'm
also
hopeful
that
we
will
be
able
to
get
money
from
the
state
and
I
know.
Our
city
engineering
office
in
Mr
rashenbach
are
going
to
make
this
come
in
way
under
budget.
So
I've
got
all
the
faith
in
the
world
that.
H
I
think
that
that
is
all
fantastic,
but
I
think
the
first
step
that
we
need
to
do.
We
may
not
need
all
this
four
million
dollars
that
we
need
to
have
a
set
of
plans.
We
need
to
sit
down.
Mr
ashenbach
needs
to
price
them
out,
not
price
them
out
completely
because,
but
we
need
to
get
some
kind
of
set
budget
when
y'all
price
this
out.
I,
don't
know
how.
Long
ago,
material
and
material
constraints
have
changed
drastically,
so
I
think
that's
where
we
need
to
start
before
we
go
starting
out.
H
H
B
E
B
C
I
was
asked
to
look
at
the
language
in
the
2007,
Bond
and
I
have
just
to
be
honest
with
you
I
needed
time
to
look
at
it.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
not
donated
back
to
the
city
at
some
point
in
time
in
the
future,
but
that
is
on
a
list
of
things
to
do.
I
I
forgot,
who
asked
me
to
compare
2007
that
2007
Bond
versus
the
2018,
Bond
and
I
just
simply
have
not
had
time
to
go
through
that
2007
Bond
language
to
look
at
it.
Yeah.
I
I
The
it
is
run
by
a
non-profit
which
appoints
board
members
from
the
police
jury,
as
well
as
the
city
council,
so
I
in
in
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
compare
this.
This
Bond's
already
been
issued,
so
the
jury
cannot
be
a
part
of
this
Bond
so
that
this
is
done.
So
your
bond
money
would
be
put
up
put
up
from
Strictly
the
city.
If
the
parish
chose
to
be
a
partner,
then
they
would
have
to
come
with
their
outside
money.
So
it
would
not
be
a
part
of
this
bond.
D
I
It's
what
I
would
Mr
Smith
I
would
add.
I
mean
I'm,
not
sure
if
we're
going
to
go
the
other
route.
This
is
somewhat
of
a
duplication
of
report
and
information.
We
received
the
monthly
financials
and
you
have
the
change
in
employment.
You
have
your
Revenue
figures
and
your
expenses
I
would,
before
we
go
down
this
road
I'd
like
to
see
how
the
outcome
is.
I
mean
that
would
be
my
recommendation
if
you
wouldn't
mind
posting
this
for
a
couple
of
years.
I
D
B
A
D
P
Q
We
don't
run
now
we
just
graduated
11
in
July.
We
have
a
high
turnover
due
to
we
have
a
we
hired,
so
many
people
in
93,
94,
95,
so
they're
all
coming
to
retirement.
It's
just
it's
kind
of
Ebbs
and
flows,
and
we
have
a
guy.
That's
about
to
leave
so
I
don't
need
permission
for
the
10
I,
currently
open
position,
but
I'm
asking
their
permission
for
this
one,
because
my
class
will
start
in
mid-september
and
I
will
have
one
over
my
number
but
I
actually
found
out.
Q
I
P
A
D
E
A
D
R
Marriott
4308
Parkway
Drive
I
find
it
very
interesting
that,
throughout
the
course
of
today's
events
and
this
specific
agenda
item
that
we're
willing
to
listen
to
the
people
that
you
get
these
recommendations
from
when
it's
convenient
for
you.
When
the
mayor
comes
before
you
and
says,
I'd
like
to
have
the
ability
and
the
authority
to
manage
my
departments
specific
to
the
agenda,
this
is
specific.
Mr
President.
R
R
R
I
appreciate
that
the
First
Amendment
does
afford
US
the
right
to
seek
redress
from
our
government
when
we
feel
they're,
not
following
the
will
of
the
people.
Now
you've
asked
for
the
chief
of
police
to
give
his
opinion
on
why
he
needs
the
Justice
Grant,
which
we
all
agreed
on,
and
you
voted
the
right
way
on
that.
You've
asked
the
fire
department,
the
chief
zagoni,
why
he
needs
to
add
this
additional
person.
R
However,
we
ignore
Mr
Mayor
when
he
says
he
needs
to
add
people
to
certain
departments
or
remove
people
and
now
we're
stonewalling.
Another
attempt
to
just
keep
the
proper
Personnel
levels,
whether
it's
a
mechanic,
whether
it's
a
firefighter,
allow
the
people
that
you've
appointed
and
that
the
people
of
Bossier
City
have
elected
to
do
their
job.
So
I
would
say:
Do
not
continue.
This
vote
to
put
the
people
in
place,
so
we
can
have
the
services
that
the
city
requires.
Thank.
D

A
F
200
2977
people
sign
a
petition
that
they
wanted
to
play
where
all
the
citizens
can

I
think
the
Citizens
need
to
vote.
They
voted
this
in.
They
need
to
vote
to
see
if,
if
we
have
term

or
not
just
like
Rodney
Orr,
