Bossier City Council Meeting September 19, 2023
B
Let
us
pray
father
God.
Thank
you
for
this
time
that
you
allowed
us
to
come
to
this
place
for
this
business
meeting.
Lord,
we
are
reminded
of
your
word,
says
in
Titus
2
14.
He
gave
himself
for
us
to
redeem
us
from
all
wickedness
and
to
purify
for
himself
and
people
that
are
his
very
own
eager
to
do.
What
is
good
Lord
teach
us
to
do
those
things
that
are
good
for
those
we
serve.
We
thank
you
Lord
God,
for
those
who
are
humble
servants.

good
afternoon
Mr
President,
a
motion
needs
to
be
made
to
amend
the
minutes
of
the
September
5th
meeting
on
September
5th.
This
Council
voted
5-2
to
give
Charles
Jacobs
the
authority
to
pursue
legal
action
against
the
Registrar
of
Voters
I
made.
The
case
of
this
action
was
a
waste
of
time
and
I
reiterated
instead
of
taking
action,
this
Council
was
again
doing
everything
but
its
obligation
under
the
city
Charter
for
the
third
time
in
four
meetings.
I
was
interrupted
during
my
comments.
E
At
no
point
did
I
shout
or
use
obscene
language.
However,
in
the
minutes
recorded
for
the
September
5th
meeting,
my
comments
were
deemed
disruptive.
The
use
of
this
language
causes
me
to
pause
and
question
if
this
body
understands
the
definition
of
the
word
disruptive
as
defined
by
the
Oxford
dictionary
disruption,
is
a
disturbance
or
a
problem
which
interrupts
an
event,
activity
or
process
on
August,
1st
August
15th
and,
most
recently
on
September
5th
I
have
been
interrupted.
While
reading
my
prepared
comments,
these
comments
were
not
boisterous
Slanders
from
pertinent.
E
However,
they
were
criticisms
of
council
practices
and
proposed
courses
of
actions.
The
only
disruptive
actions
on
September
5th,
whereby
the
repeated
interruptions
by
Mr,
Montgomery
and
Mr
free
had
these
council
members
held
their
tongue
and
accepted
the
public
criticism
offered
by
the
speaker,
then
I
would
have
finished
my
comments
and
departed
in
about
three
minutes.
However,
having
to
stop
and
address
interruptions
and
defend
my
constitutional
right
to
question
petition
and
comment
on
government
Affairs
repeatedly
caused
a
disturbance
which
interrupted
my
planned
activity.
Again.
E
By
definition,
the
only
disruption
on
September
5th
was
caused
by
Mr
Montgomery
and
Mr,
free
and
I
demand.
The
minutes
be
amended
to
reflect
that.
It's
not
disruptive
to
calmly,
speak
and
challenge
the
actions
of
this
Council
I
find
the
repeated
and
flagrant
violations
of
the
city
Charter,
the
back
room
meetings
caught
on
tape
and
the
complete
disregard
for
the
public
certified
petition
to
be
far
more
disruptive
than
the
statements
that
I
made.
Lastly,
I
would
like
to
close
with
the
final
clarification
on
the
subject
matter.
E
That
seems
to
be
the
fulcrum
on
which
Free
Speech
hinges
in
these
Chambers.
Every
time
I
mention
this
fact.
I
am
interrupted
by
this
Council
and
called
a
liar
by
Mr
Jacobs
thanks,
it's
time
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
for
everyone
in
this
room
and
everyone
watching
these
proceedings
in
posterity.
One
thing
on
July,
18th,
Mr
Jacobs
stated
that
his
opinion
on
term
limits
would
be
recommend
a
second
opinion
from
an
outside
Council
who
is
out
of
town
and
unconnected
to
anyone
in
the
city.
E
That
attorney
was
Katie
Bell
and
she
is
in
fact
heavily
connected
to
the
city
of
Bossier.
That
statement
by
Mr
Jacobs
was
100
false
when
he
said
it.
Katie
Bell
has
previously
represented
the
city
and
the
MPC.
11
years
ago,
personally,
billing
Bossier
City
684
865
dollars
her
Law
Firm
Keane
Miller,
is
still
regularly
contracted
by
the
city
and
has
been
paid
thousands
of
dollars
even
into
2023..
E
Miss
Bell
personally
appeared
with
councilman
Montgomery
in
a
deposition,
defending
him
and
making
objections
on
his
behalf
to
say
that
Katie
Bell
is
unconnected
to
the
city
or
anyone
in
the
city
is
an
outright
lie
and,
unlike
Mr
Jacobs
I
can
prove
everything.
I
just
said
if
the
City
attorney
has
lied
to
the
Council
and
to
the
public
about
the
conflict
of
interest
with
Miss
Bell
and
Katie
and
I'll
finish
this
momentarily.
E
If
he's
lied
about
Katie
Bell
and
her
opinion
formed
the
basis
for
the
action
of
this
Council
pertaining
to
term
limits,
how
can
we
trust
anything
that
is
produced
by
this
body?
Dissent
is
not
disruption
and
disagreement
is
not
a
disturbance.
Mr
President,
please
reign
in
your
colleagues
and
amend
the
minutes.
Do
not
approve
these
minutes
as
written.
A
A
F

K
Davy
Crockett
David
Crockett,
653,
dumaine,
Drive,
Bossier,
City,
Louisiana,
Mr
President.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
speak
last
council
meeting
was
about
change
through
term
limits.
It's
about
what
what
the
whole
meeting
encompassed
the
events
before
during
and
after
the
meeting
are
the
exact
reason
that
Bossier
City
is
waking
up
to
the
need
for
term
limits.
K
Bossier
City
Council
is
now
alleged
to
have
committed
up
to
three
open
meeting
violations
and
I
have
a
copy
for
anybody
who
wants
it.
Those
are
related
to
public
interest
in
this
event
and
an
attempt
possibly
to
dampen
that
interest
I
have
great
respect
for
the
councilman
who
are
joining
our
efforts
and
mayor.
Thank
you
for
putting
this
on
the
agenda,
but
also
for
the
person
who
recorded
the
meeting
that
went
and
count
went
on
in
council
chambers
and
then
shared
it
because
that's
what's
necessary
to
hold
democracy
to
the
test.
K
K
Mr
President
I
served
in
the
Air
Force
for
30
years,
because
I
believe
in
free
speech,
I
carried
my
pocket
constitution
on
each
and
every
combat
Mission
I
read
it
during
the
arduous
19
to
20
hour,
combat
missions,
I
believe
in
democracy.
But
what
you're
seeing
is
that
the
voters
that
don't
fly,
combat
missions
that
they
see
now,
and
you
should
see
that
your
citizens
want
free
and
open
debate.
K
Any
attempt
to
restrict
our
comment
periods
by
elected
and
unelected
officials
will
be
opposed
by
the
public.
This
community
and
its
this
entire
Parish
wants
term
limits.
Now,
since
the
last
meeting
the
Attorney
General
agreed
with
our
position
in
a
September
8th
letter,
he
said
once
a
petition
is
tendered
by
the
registrar.
K
She
is
required
to
certify
the
petition
petitions
pursuant
to
Lars
18
3-D,
which
involves
ensuring
that
the
person
who
signed
the
petition
or
registered
electors
in
the
jurisdiction,
her
three
criteria
to
certify
their
signature
was
one
a
fixture
signature
and
address
in
which
they
are
registered,
registered,
verify
the
signature
and
that
the
name
appears
on
the
registrar's
role
of
Voters
a
very
simple
process.
It
seems
like,
though,
that
this
Council
wants
to
impose
limits
that
are
not
in
a
very
clear
clearly
represented
in
the
city
Charter,
what
the
petition
requires.
K
What
is
sad
to
say
is
that
the
petition,
or
whether
we
didn't
even
do
a
petition.
You
could
vote
today
to
put
the
two
propositions
on
the
ballot,
but
you
continue
to
oppose
it.
It
warrants
repeating
Bossier
City
is
continuing
to
put
robots
in
our
in
front
of
our
petition.
I
have
updates
on
the
petition.
I'll
cut
it
off
now,
because
I
don't
want
to
be
accused
of
going
over.
My
time.
E
Good
afternoon
Mr
President
West
Marriott
4330
Panther
Drive,
our
Junior,
our
journey
for
term
limits
in
Bossier
City
has
been
long
and
arduous,
but
it's
a
journey
fueled
by
the
unwavering
belief
that
the
power
in
our
democracy,
democracy
should
ultimately
rest
with
the
people.
The
attorney
general
has
spoken
just
like
Mr
Crockett
just
said
the
registrar
voters
held
their
ground
and
it's
time
for
this
Council
to
heed
the
call
of
the
law
and
the
will
of
the
people
on
September
5th.
E
This
Council
made
a
decision
that
sought
to
delay
the
inevitable
a
decision
that
attempted
to
circumvent
the
Democratic
process
by
asking
the
Registrar
of
Voters
to
decertify
the
term
limits
petition.
We
all
know
this
was
nothing
but
a
stall
tactic.
An
attempt
to
avoid
taking
action
on
an
issue
that
has
gained
overwhelming
support
from
the
citizens
of
Bossier
City.
Today,
Bossier
City
requires
this
of
you,
no
more
delay
no
more
stalling.
We
have
a
clear
path
forward,
one
that
aligns
with
the
principles
of
democracy
and
respects
the
voices
of
your
constituents.
E
Mayor
Tommy
Chandler
has
once
again
placed
the
term
limits
item
on
the
agenda,
calling
for
a
rep
referendum
to
let
the
people
decide.
This
is
not
a
request.
It's
a
demand
from
the
people,
a
demand
that
can
no
longer
be
ignored.
The
citizens
of
Bossier
City
spoke
loudly
and
clearly
2977.
Certified
signatures
sent
a
resounding
message:
they
want
term
limits
and
they
want
them
now.
It's
not
a
political
Ploy.
It's
a
call
for
accountability,
transparency
and
a
chance
to
Breathe
new
life
into
our
local
government.
E
We
see
the
same
mistakes
over
and
over
again
and
the
citizens
are
demanding
change.
The
attorney
general
made
it
abundantly
clear
that
you
cannot
rely
on
the
Registrar
of
Voters
decertifying
the
petition
as
an
excuse
to
take
no
action.
The
law
is
clear
and
our
Democratic
principles
are
unwavering.
The
term
limits
petition
is
valid.
It's
certified
and
it's
ready
for
action.
Last
month,
I
affirm
to
this
Council,
there's
no
possible
future
with
your
registrar
would
decertify
her
petition
and
moments
ago.
E
I
laid
out
the
case
that
the
legal
guidance
of
Mr
Jacobs
was
untrustworthy
at
best
and
blatantly
dishonest
at
worst.
Stop
relying
on
bad
legal
advice
to
stall
the
will
of
the
voters,
Mr
President
members
of
a
city
council,
it's
time
to
act,
it's
time
to
put
terminal
limits
to
the
ballots
and
it's
time
to
let
the
people
have
their
say.
Any
further
delay
will
be
seen
as
a
front
to
democracy
itself
and
it's
unlike
it
is
likely
to
invite
more
unwanted
attention
to
Bossier
City.
E
Instead
of
the
positive
press
that
a
community
as
great
as
ours
deserves,
please
stop
making
a
mockery
of
the
legal
process
and
insulting
the
intelligence
of
your
constituents.
Will
you
stand
on
the
side
of
democracy,
transparency
or
accountability?
Or
will
you
now
continue
on
the
current
course
of
delay
and
illegal
obstruction?
Thank
you.
L
Hi,
my
name
is
Alice
Boyer
I
live
at
5041,
Highway
80
in
Haughton
I
started
observing
this
Council
about
two
plus
years
ago,
and
it
piqued
my
interest.
When
I
sat
there
and
heard
someone
in
this
Council
actually
threatened
someone's
life.
Basically,
you
know
one
of
the
citizens
and
since
then,
there's
been
a
lot
of
you
know,
grandstanding
and
unethical
Behavior
simply
violate
you
know.
A
simply
worded
Charter
has
been
violated
by
y'all
and
the
appointed
Council
there's
open.
L
The
runaround
that
we
get
in
open
meetings
to
allow
us
to
speak
is
just
you
know,
it's
a
disgrace,
and
this
this
petition
was
put
forth.
You
know
with
good
intentions,
you
know
for
the
good
and
the
well-being
of
of
Bossier
City.
It
had
no
ill
intent
whenever
this
was
put
to
y'all
and
y'all
keep
refusing
to
put
the
item
on
the
agenda.
L
L
You
know
if
y'all
have
violated
Title
18,
241,
242,
245
I'm
sure
it's
already
been
brought
up.
I
have
a
copy
here.
If
y'all
need
to
refresh
your
mind,
your
memories
on
this
and
I
happened
to
come
across
this
organization.
Chart
that
heard
McElroy
and
Vestal
put
out
your
certified
public
accountants.
G
Yeah
Mr
President
I
would
just
ask
that
today
we
we
vote
and
move
this
forward
we're
going
on
months
now.
With
this
the
the
citizens
have
spoken,
they
continue
to
speak
we're
sitting
in
the
seats
because
of
the
citizens
that
we
represent
they're
not
going
to
decertify
the
the
petition.
That's
what
everything
was
about.
The
attorney
general
has
given
his
opinion
on
it:
wavered
in
I'm,
just
it's
time
to
move
on.
We've
got
so
much
more
stuff
to
do
in
the
city
of
Bossier.
A
Is
there
any
other
comment?
I
do
have
a
question
for
Mr
Jacobs
I
guess
it
was
two
weeks
ago.
We
voted
five
to
two
for
not
only
asking
Miss
Agy
to
decertify,
but
also
for
a
declaratory
judgment.
Given
the
results
of
her
legal
counsel.
Responding
is
a
city
planning
on
moving
forward
with
that
legal
action.
C
A
M
I
just
think
divorce
of
the
of
the
Citizens
need
to
be
heard
and
I
guess
like
like
Ryan,
said
we're
in
here,
because
they
voted
us
here.
They
could,
they
could
vote
either
way.
We
don't
know
which
way
they're
going
to
vote
I
mean
if
they
can
vote
for
us
not
to
have
term
limits,
and
they
could
vote
for
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
attorney
general
did
be
certified.
Did
you
say
they
committedly
certified
a
petition
and
then
on
a
just
give
to
the
citizen?
Let
them
make
their
mind
up.
C
J
H
G
B
A
H
A
F
Okay,
Brooke
is
going
to
hand
out
the
paperwork,
and
the
explanation
is
the
original
estimate
that
is
on
your
form,
was
pulled
from
the
original
probable
cost,
the
opinion
of
probable
construction
cost,
which
was
before
they
finished
with
the
plans.
So
that
was
on
us
that
was
original
and
it
was
pulled
from
the
bid
request
where
we
make
sure
we
have
enough
in
the
budget
before
we
bring
it
to
you.
The
actual
engineer's
estimate,
as
indicated
in
question
number
four
they're
asking
for
the
date
and
the
price
on
the
addendum.
D
F
F
F
F
G
A
N
Similar
to
last
month,
we
have
73
million
in
ongoing
design
and
construction
projects,
65
million
of
those
currently
under
construction,
nine
projects
in
design
or
bid
phase
five
projects
under
construction
and
then
seven
subdivisions
engineering,
the
construction
phase,
The
Carriage
Way
we
sit
at
around
77
percent,
complete
with
approximately
70
percent
of
the
time,
has
elapsed,
they're
43
days
ahead
of
schedule.
You
know
they're,
probably
seeing
some
of
the
metal
girders
coming
up
there
as
you're
coming
down
Benton
Road
they're,
doing
good
work.
There.
N
Okay,
Highway
71
lighting
improvements,
phase,
two
we're
looking
at
basically
complete
I
got
a
report
right
before
I
came
in
here
that
the
issue
we're
having
right
now
is
Swepco
needs
to
power
them
up.
So
there
was
a
number
of
locations
where
they
had
to
bring
power
and
I
think
there's
several
still
remaining
on
that
list.
N
Once
that's
done,
this
project
will
be
complete,
we're
showing
it
you
know
behind,
but
essentially
the
way
we
work
these
projects
and
indicate
what
the
metric
is
is
based
on
the
amount
of
money
that
the
contractors
are
requesting
from
us.
So
we
think
they're
better
than
95
percent
complete
here
we're
just
waiting
on
finishing
that
part
out
with
the
power
company
yeah.
G
G
N
Brought
service
to
some
of
those
locations
that
we
have
in
general
energized.
Yet
we
want
to
do
that
all
hopefully
in
concert:
Elm
Grove,
ditch
this
Project's
complete
less
some
punchless
items
that
got
some
sidewalk
restoration
and
cleanup
to
do
there.
So
this
will
probably
be
the
last
time.
You'll
see
this
slide.
N
Tinsley
Park
parking
improvements
they're
a
little
behind
based
on
our
metric,
which
again
is
pay
applications,
but
I
haven't
got
another
pay
application
since
our
last
meeting,
so
I
couldn't
log
those
days
in
here,
but
based
on
just
my
observation,
they're
at
least
on
schedule.
I
know
they
had
a
little
bit
of
disruption
this
week
with
some
of
the
electrical
conduit.
N
Things
like
that
slowing
the
earth
work
down,
but
we
still
feel
confident
they're
on
schedule
to
get
this
project
complete
and
it's
much
needed
with
as
many
events
as
that
we
have
going
on
out
in
that
area,
Scott
Street
drainage
improvements.
We
got
the
PO
cut
to
the
contractor
this
week.
They'll
begin
that
work
as
soon
as
materials
arrive
and
are
delivered
and,
as
you
can
tell
that's
a
much
needed
project
there
and
then
private
development.
That
list
is
shrinking
a
little
bit
Rocket.
N
Fast
being
you
know,
small
little
stub,
Road
right
off
Benton
Road,
and
then
you
have
four
subdivisions
right
now:
Canal
Place
unit,
four
The
Preserve,
Redwood,
Place
unit
12
and
then
change
Landing
unit.
Three.
Those
are
the
four
subdivision
projects
that
we
have,
that
we're
monitoring
right
now:
lateral,
B1
drainage
improvements,
we're
still
waiting
on
property
for
that
the
plans
are
essentially
complete.
We're
getting
close
on
having
all
of
the
right-of-way
and
easement
information
documents
in
hand,
Bardo,
Elaine
and
Montgomery
Lane
drainage
improvements.
N
N
In
the
coming
weeks,
the
Citywide
Street
Improvement
projects
that
designs
complete
and
ready
for
me
to
finalize
it
and
get
it
out
to
bid
Golden
Meadows
turn
lane
there
we're
still
working
with
civil
Design
Group
to
get
that
coordinated
through
dotd
to
make
sure
they're
happy
with
what
we're
proposing
down
there
Barksdale
Boulevard
lighting
project.
This
is
one
we're
waiting
on
the
power
company,
for
this
is
between
Airline
and
full
of
love.
Everything's
done
there,
we've
paid
them
the
money.
G
N
It's
it's
a
tough
piece
of
steak,
so
it's
really
it
and
our
our
bigger
concern.
There
is
it's
a
I'm
not
pushing
it,
because
it's
going
to
require
a
fair
amount
of
funding
to
make
those
improvements
there,
given
pedestrian
Crossings
and
some
of
the
other
concerns
that
dotd
has.
We
feel
like
we've,
got
a
green
light
from
dotd
to
move
that
forward.
So
we're
it's
it's
not
in
the
middle
of
my
radar.
But
it's
it's
right.
There
closed.
D
O
Good
afternoon
Council
mayor
Chandler,
you
have
before
you
the
financials

ended
August,
31st
2023

is
revenue
by
fund.
The
city
is
currently
27
over
budget.
The
increase
in
sales
tax
Capital
fund
revenue
is
due
to
an
increase
in
the
sales
tax
revenue
and
distributions
to
Capital.
In
the
current
year,
the
decrease
in
sales
tax,
Capital
fund,
Revenue,
sorry
Parkway
fund
Capital
revenue
is
due
to
a
timing,
difference
between
Collections
and
distributions
in
July
and
August
2022.
O
