Good
afternoon,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
give
honor
to
our
mayor
mayor,
Chandler
and
I.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
want
to
also
acknowledge
our
CIO
Mr
Nottingham
and
our
administrative
staff
and
greetings
to
each
of
you.
Council,
members,
councilmember,
Montgomery,
councilman,
remember,
Williams,
councilman,
free
Council,
Maggio,
councilman,
Smith,
individually
and
collectively
I
want
to
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
let
you
know
it's
an
honor
to
meet
you
and
I'm.
G
Looking
forward
to
working
with
you,
it's
really
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
work
in
this
capacity
and
To
Be
A
Champion
with
you,
as
we
communicate
through
many
great
things
that
are
happening
in
Bossier
City,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
communicating
and
working
on
both
our
external
and
internal
Communications
within
the
city.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
thank
you
once
again.
G
Mr
Mayor
and
I
promised
myself
that
when
I
stood
before
you,
that
I
would
honor
God
for
it's
because
of
the
Lord
that
I'm
here
on
this
morning.
So
I
give
the
God
praise
and
glory
and
I'd
like
to
quote
the
scripture
that
says
that
I
will
trust
in
the
Lord,
with
with
all
my
heart,
in
all
my
ways
acknowledge,
Him
and
He
will
direct
my
past.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
and
I'm
honored
to
introduce
myself
to
you
and
today
do
you
have
any
questions
for
me
at
all.
C
H
And
settled
I'm
so
proud
and
happily
surprised
that
my
friend
Louis
has
been
appointed
his
position.
I
met
Lewis
when
he
was
appointed.
The
Caddo
commission
and
I
went
to
all
the
meetings
and
he
was
one
of
the
very
diligent
Commissioners.
So
many
of
them
don't
read
the
package,
don't
understand,
and
he
talked
to
all
sides
and
and
oftentimes
he
made
votes.
That
I
know
were
difficult
boats,
because
too
often
that
group
splits
on
party
lines
and
I
was
just
real,
proud
to
meet
him.
H
Then,
and
I
watched
him
in
action
and
he
was
a
true
servant
and
then
I
learned
more
about
his
experience
in
the
fire
department.
And
all
of
that-
and
my
only
regret
is
that
I've
been
pushing
a
mayor
across
the
river
to
hire
a
Pio,
and
this
is
the
guy.
We
should
have
gotten.
Y'all
got
a
real
Trenton.
That
has
is
a
hard
worker,
very
knowledgeable
and
having
worked
with
fire
department
and
the
commission
really
understands
government,
which
I
think
is
important
for
y'all.
G
G
G
Have
my
sisters,
my
nieces,
my
family
they're,
all
here
I
have
mine
also
a
constable
I'm,
the
chief
Deputy
Constable
or
I
was,
and
the
Constable
is
here
Constable
Tony
Hunter.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
My
neighbor
is
here
who
lives
directly
across
the
street.
I
think
I
have
his
weed
eater
right
now
and.
J
G
A

K

A
L
Good
afternoon
Council
mayor
Chandler,
first,
let
me
apologize
for
not
pre-filling
in
the
names
of
the
bidders
on
your
sheets
today.
I
know
right.
There
are
two.
This
is
for
the
on-demand
concrete
repairs.
There
were
four
addendums,
the
first
two
regarding
the
opening
date
and
the
last
two
were
quantities
and
pricing.
We
were
going
to
include
the
utilities
in
that,
but
the
the
structure,
the
way
they're
handled
is
so
differently
that
we
decided
it'd
be
better
to
separate
that
okay,
so
the
first
bid
is
from
Dale's
Paving
d-a-l-e
apostrophe
s,
Paving.
L
L
D
D
B
A
A
A
C
A
C
D
Motion
carries
new
business,
adopt
an
ordinance
amending
ordinance
number
133
of
2018
by
changing
the
zoning
classification
of
a
certain
tract
of
land
from
rld
residential,
low
density
to
B3,
General
business
being
1.028
Acres,
more
or
less
located
at
2722
Barksdale
Boulevard,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana
for
our
parking
lot.
Expansion
for
Good,
Times,
Billiards,
first
and
final
reading,
so.
B
A
D
B
J
A
I
I
Someone
couldn't
be
here
also
on
that
there's
a
lawyer
at
the
church,
but
in
any
event,
I
was
not
at
the
workshop,
but
I
understand
what
was
discussed
in
terms
of
the
distance
from
flying,
Burger
seafood
and
the
church,
and
the
case
from
the
second
circuit
I.
Think
as
I
understand,
the
discussions
was
not
applied
correctly
and
so
I
want
to
show
y'all
in
that
city
of
Ambassador
versus
Johnny's
Pizza.
You
know
the
rule
is
it's.
I
There's
a
statement
in
that
case
that
says:
if
there
are
no
sidewalks,
there
are
no
paved
sidewalks
along
tele
drive
and
Park
Loop
Drive.
Therefore,
measurement
are
to
be
made
along
walkways
on
the
edge
of
the
streets
or
parallel
to
the
sides
of
the
streets.
The
next
statement
is
the
distance
should
be
measured
from
the
nearest
Point,
the
property
line
to
the
playground
to
the
nearest
point
of
the
premises
to
be
licensed,
the
actual
restaurant
building,
and
so,
if
I
might,
please
I
want
to
show
you
all
the
exhibit.
I
The
straight
line
from
asbury's
property
to
Flying
Burger,
to
the
edge
of
that
building
is
less
than
200
feet.
That
intersection
from
Curb
to
curb
is
60
feet
and
if
you
just
extrapolate
that
it's
less
than
200
feet
and
under
that
decision,
when
you
measure
am
I
out
of
time.
Yes,
sir
okay!
Well,
that's
all.
A
I
C
M
Carlotta
here
with
the
Bossier
and
PC
I
can
discuss
what
the
city
ordinance
States
and
how
we've
measured
it
for
the
last
30
years,
and
it's
also
in
accordance
with
the
state
we
confirmed
with
the
ATC
our
measurement.
So
it
reads:
the
300
feet
shall
be
interpreted
to
mean,
as
a
person
walks
using
sidewalks
from
the
nearest
point
of
the
property
line
of
the
public
playground
church
school
to
the
nearest
premise
that
the
alcoholic
beverages
to
be
served.
M
It's
not
as
the
crow
flies
it's
not
as
a
straight
line.
It's
as
someone
would
walk
using
sidewalks.
So
if
there
are
not
sidewalks
there,
we
use
the
street
pavement
as
a
guide
and
that's
what
we've
used
in
the
last
30
years.
I
believe
our
resident
attorney,
Neil
Irwin
is
here
and
he
can
speak
to
those
court
cases,
but
that
is
how
we've
measured
it
historically
over
the
years
and
I
also
want
to
note
that
there's
also
been
alcohol
at
this
location
back
in
1989
when
the
Bossier
racquet
club
was
there.
J
Thank
you,
Neil
Irwin,
representing
the
Metropolitan
Planning
Commission,
and
when
asked
by
the
city
of
Bossier
Ms
Carlotta
Askew
Brown
is
correct
in
terms
of
saying
they
followed
the
traditional
way
in
which
the
city
has
measured
using
the
sidewalks
in
accordance
with
the
city
ordinance
and
with
state
law,
and
it's
not
just
one
case.
It's
two
cases
that
say
that
when
there
are
no
sidewalks
using
another
case
that
was
decided,
we
feel
that
the
legislation
intends
for
the
measurements
to
be
made
along
walkways
on
the
edge
of
streets
or
parallel
to
the
sides
of
streets.
J
So
I
have
concluded,
and
it
is
my
opinion
that
the
Metropolitan
Planning
Commission
correctly
measured
this
by
their
staff
and
then
the
Metropolitan
Planning
Commission.
Using
that
information
made
the
correct
decision
as
to
how
this
ought
to
be
measured
and
granted.
The
conditional
use
permit
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Mr
Jacobs
this
Thursday,
yes,.
N
I
would
just
like
to
add
you
know
when
you
look
at
the
language
of
the
natural
walking
path.
I
think
it
would
be
not
expected
if
somebody
wanted
to
cross
the
street
to
get
from
from
the
Ashbury
Methodist
Church
to
the
Flying
Burger
parking
lot,
that
somebody
would
walk
across.
Basically,
six
Lanes,
you
have
turn
lanes,
and
then
you
have
two
two
lanes
going
north
two
lanes
going
south
on
an
extremely
in
a
turn
lane
into
flying
Burger
into
an
extremely
busy
area.
N
That's
not
the
natural
walking
path
that
somebody
were
to
walk
from
Ashbury
Methodist
Church
to
the
Flying
Burger.
They
would
have
to
walk
either
north
or
south
and
attempt
to
cross.
You
know
at
various
lights
and
things
of
that
nature.
I
do
absolutely
agree
with
Mr
Irwin
that
the
second
circuit
controls
the
law
within
our
jurisdiction
and
I
feel
that
it
it
cannot
be
measured
as
the
crow
flies
in
this
instance.
It
has
to
be
measured
along
the
public
right-of-ways.
The
legal
public
right-of-ways,
so
I
would
concur
with
Mr
Irwin.
K
Brian
Kramer
34,
Fairmont,
Circle,
Bossier
City,
of
course,
I
live
directly
behind
all
this
mess
before
I
get
into.
My
part,
didn't
want
to
comment
on
what
he
was
saying
now
for
15
years.
I
walked
out
my
back
gate
and
walked
straight
across
the
field
to
Red
River
Bank
at
least
twice
a
week
or
whatever
so,
and
that's
the
easiest,
quickest
or
whatever
do
you
get
up
there
and
enter
the
intersection
you'd
never
get
across
your
best
to
be
away
from
the
intersection
and
but
on.
K
My
complaints
here
is
that
it's
been
going
on,
come
August
to
be
four
years
of
nothing
but
racket
of
them
doing
their
cement
work
at
one
two
three
in
the
morning
I
got
tons
of
video.
The
police
would
come
out
and
say:
well
it's
illegal,
but
hey
it's
a
lot
of
money,
we're
going
to
let
them
keep
doing
banging
the
trash
at
three
four
in
the
morning.
I
will
say
this
since
the
last
meeting
with
the
Planning
Commission
or
whatever.
K
We
have
finally
got
the
dumpster
to
quit
emptying
at
four
in
the
morning
or
whatever,
and
we're
very
grateful
for
that.
But
before
we
approve
things
or
whatever,
there
was
a
list
of
things
that
they
need
to
do.
They
have
not
done
them
so
before
we
pass
this,
let's
get
what
needs
to
be
done
and
then
you
can
pass
it
because
we
were
promised
all
this
almost
four
years
ago,
actually
more
than
four
years
ago,
and
we
didn't
get
it
and
then
we're
told.
Well,
it's
not
the
right
time
of
the
year.
It's
too
hot!
K
It's
this!
It's
that
complaints
with
the
old
mayor
new
mayor,
the
NPC
nobody
likes
seeing
me
because
I
get
pretty
agitated,
my
wife
I
told
over
and
over.
She
has
over
30
years
as
an
educator.
She's
never
been
late.
She's,
never
missed
a
day
of
work,
but
it's
awful
hard
on
her.
When
you
get
woke
up
at
three
four
in
the
morning
and
then
the
way
that
they
do
their
property,
they
run
their
lines
up
against
the
wall.
K
They
don't
go
through
the
drive
through
they
actually
block
off
the
drive-through
because
they
don't
have
room
to
have
their
customers
in
the
drive-through.
So
the
cars
line
up
against
the
wall
and
you
get
the
the
base
is
over
and
over
you.
You
could
find
a
couple
of
police
officers.
Just
writing
the
tickets
on
a
nightly
basis
of
this,
and
it
goes
on
for
hours
because
again,
you're
serving
ice
cream
over
there
till
11
o'clock
at
night.
So
again,
that's
my
complaint
before
we
pass.
K
K
B
J
B
You
mind
if
I
asked
Miss
Brown
a
quick
question:
that's
why
I
see
I
see
on
the
agenda.
You
have
the
list
of
the
expectations
of
flying
Burgers.
Should
the
and
the
last
sentence
says
all
conditions
must
be
met
before
the
alcohol
permit
is
issued?
What
is
the
someone
from
your
office
going
to
go
out
and
inspect
to
ensure
that
they
have
complied
with
this
list?
Correct.
B
O
P
And
Kenny
Fox
5910
Pampers,
Lane,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana
I
just
wanted
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
church
and
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
you
guys
took
a
survey
of
the
rising
crime
as
we
add
so
many
alcoholic
venues
to
our
city,
I'm,
proud
to
live
in
Bossier
City,
but
I
see
every
meeting,
we're
always
adding
new
alcoholic
venues.
This
is
another
case
where
we're
going
against
the
church,
their
desire
to
keep
alcoholic
beverages
farther
away
from
the
church
property.
P
P
O
I'll
defer
to
our
City
attorney,
we
have
to
abide
within
the
laws
and
we
cannot
be
prejudiced
from
one
establishment
to
another,
so
we
have
to
apply
the
law
equally,
as
some
people
might
not
agree
with
alcohol,
but
we
can't
say
you
can
have
it
and
you
can't
if
they
qualify,
underneath
what
the
law
says,
then
we
are
obligated
to
pass
that.
Otherwise
we
subject
ourselves
to
potential
litigation
for
discrimination
yeah,
so.
P
I'm,
just
I
wanted
to
ask
you
to
give
you
another
I'm,
just
asking.
If
we
looked
at
the
rise
of
crime
related
to
alcohol,
if
that
would
be
something
that
we
would
look
at,
I
mean
a
church
is
asking
that
we
keep
this
alcoholic
Place
further
away.
But
you
know-
and
if
you
look
at
their
sidewalk
like
they're
talking
about
there's
no
sidewalk
there
and
you
were
saying
you
know
somebody
would
have
to
cross
six
Lanes
of
traffic
turn
Lanes,
but
really,
if
someone's
drunk,
do
you
think
they're
not
going
to
care
about
that?
What.
O
I
would
like
to
offer
at
this
point.
Mr
free
is
that
I've
known
Mr
Kyle
a
long
time,
I've
known
Mr
Irwin
a
long
time.
We
have
legal
opinions
that
differ
I,
think
in
that
case
it
would
be
prudent
for
us
to
continue
this
for
two
weeks
and
at
least
gather
the
facts
so
that
we
can
make
a
more
informed
decision.
I
think
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
information
put
on
us
right
here
and
to
try
to
decide
a
case
in
what
Mr
Kyle's
concerns
have
been
brought
up.
I
think
I'll.
Second,
that.
K
K
Thank
you
frustrated
or
whatever.
During
all
this,
we
added
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
make
the
wall
higher.
Behind
my
house,
we
spent
thirty
thousand
dollars
in
legal
fees.
We
spent
another
ten
thousand,
so
it's
not
just
I'm
complaining
I've
got
a
lot
of
skin
in
the
game,
not
to
mention
the
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
I
had
in
my
house
in
the
first
place,
and
so
that
that's
why
it's
doing
so
yeah
a
lot
of
people,
don't
do
anything
money,
wise
and
then
they
complain.
I
got
a
lot
of
money
into
this.
Thank.
