Thank

night.
We
thank

We
pray
for
their

distant.
We

For

us
wisdom
and

That's
in
Christ's,
name,
I
pray,
amen,
amen.
Please.

which
ended
with
the
tigers
being
named
national

whereas
Hayden
is
known
by
his
teammates
to
be
a
leader
and
a
hard
worker
who
has
consistently
improved
both
at
the
plate
and
behind

plate
as
a
catcher.
He
is
tremendous
competitor.
Tremendous
come

I
This
led
his
dad
to
sketch
a
sticky
note.
What
we
now
know
is
the
Hayden

logo
that
has
been
printed
on
countless
shirts
and
hats
in
which
Hayden
uses
to
give
back
to
the
community
for
Charities
such
as
Children's
Miracle,

This
is
what
he's
donating

from,

Well

Therefore,

do
hereby
Proclaim

The

day.
J
A
A
A
I
have
two
add-on
requests.
The
first
one
would
be
new
business
number
11.
interview,
some
ordinance,
proposing
amendments
to
section
3.01
b
in
section
4.01
of
the
city,
Charter
of
the
city
of
Bossier
City.
First
reading
the
reason
for
add-on,
mayor
Chandler,
request,
adding
this
item
to
the
agenda
file
and
receipt
of
ordinance
and
election
timeline.
No
election
timeline
was
submitted
from
mayor's
office.

Parkway
Drive.
Today,
I
stand
before
you
once
more:
a
Resolute
voice
for
the
people
of
Bossier
City.
We
find
ourselves
at
a
pivotal
moment
where
transparency
in
the
true
Spirit
of
democracy
being
put
to
the
test.
Two
weeks
ago,
I
presented
the
irrefutable
truth
that
Bossier
City
Charter
guarantees
a
citizen's
right
to
be
heard
to
express
our
views
freely.
Yet
the
resolution
to
seek
outside
counsel
and
term
limits
passed,
divided
the
council,
5-2
Mr,
Smith
and
Mr
Hammonds.
J
You
stood
firm
with
the
people,
but
others
Mr,
free
Mr,
Williams,
Mr,
Darby,
Mr,
Montgomery
and
Mr
Maggio.
You
chose
a
different
past,
coincidentally,
those
in
favor
of
seeking
outside
counsel
to
delay.
This
effort
would
be
ineligible
to
run
again
if
term
limits
are
implemented.
Is
this
mere
coincidence
or
does
it
reveal
an
attempt
to
cling
to
power
to
silence
the
will
of
the
people?
The
City
attorney
assured
us
that
the
chosen
attorney
would
be
unbiased
and
unaffiliated.
D
I
don't
know
where
these
reports
have
come
from
I,
don't
know
what
reports
that
you
speak
of
Miss
Bell
has
previously,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
represented
the
MPC
in
previous
litigation
that
the
city
has
been
engaged
in.
She
has
never
represented
any
member
of
the
city
council,
let
alone
Mr
Montgomery
and
if
any
kind,
in
its
personal
capacity
in
any
sort
of
lawsuit
whatsoever.
That
statement
right
there,
sir,
is
absolutely
false.
J
Mr
President,
please
I,
would
also
like
to
directly
address
our
mayor,
Mr
Chandler.
No
one
supported
your
candidacy
for
mayor
more
proudly
than
the
people
of
South
Bossier.
However,
you
did
submit
this
term
limit
ordinance
too
late
to
make
the
agenda
and
as
Citizens,
we
demand
professionalism
from
our
leaders,
and
this
oversight
has
shaken
my
confidence
in
the
process
and
the
public
support
of
term
limits.
Mr
free,
Mr
Maggio.
You
spoke
against
terminals,
declaring
your
love
for
Bossier
City,
but
your
words
are
empty.
J
Without
action,
Mr
Maggio
to
suggest
the
mayorship
is
decided
in
your
store,
undermines
the
Democratic
process
and
belittles.
The
voice
of
the
voters
is
this
truly
the
Bossier
City
we
all
envision
Mr
Darby
on
June
15th
of
last
year,
you
Proclaim
to
be
pro-citizen
participation
in
government.
Yet
your
vote
for
the
resolution
contradicted
those
very
words.
The
people
are
watching
Mr
Darby
and
we
will
not
forget
today.
J
I
urge
you,
esteemed
council,
members
to
redeem
yourselves
and
the
commitment
to
the
people
vote
unanimously
to
place
the
mayor's
terminal,
Miss
ordinance
on
the
agenda,
embrace
the
inevitable
future
and
become
a
resource
for
future
leadership
of
this
city,
ensuring
that
your
legacy
remains
untarnished
do
not
become
an
obstacle
crushed
in
the
waves
of
progress.
The
power
lies
in
your
hands
and
the
history
will
remember
your
choice:
will
you
stifle
the
voices
of
the
people
or
let
democracy
flourish,
Stand
United
with
the
citizens
and
let
the
mayor's
terminal?
J
M
David
Crockett

Drive
Bossier
City
Louisiana,
so
here
we
are
two
weeks
later,
no
opinion.
We
know
we
can
get
an
opinion.
This
is
a
very
simple
resolution.
That's
required
to
go
before
the
state
and
and
I
think
the
charter
is
very
clear
about
the
what
the
will
of
the
people
can
accomplish,
but
on
August
8th,
that's
the
30-day
point.
The
charter
is
very
clear
but
I'm
going
to
read
it.
It.
M
A
couple
of
minutes
for
the
people
of
Bossier
City
to
know
there
are
two
methods
to
introduce
a
change
to
the
Charter.
According
to
the
Charter
itself.
One
is
by
the
city
and
the
confusion
for
the
city
is
that
it
calls
for
a
charter
commission
for
the
city
council
to
make
a
change,
but
in
the
in
the
ordinances
or
not
the
ordinances,
but
in
the
charter.
It
says
very
specifically
for
us
to
do
a
petition
to
follow
section
five,
which
we
did.
The
whole
petition
was
written
according
to
Louisiana
law
and
and
the
city's
Charter.
M
So
in
order
to
fight
this
or
delay
it
you're,
putting
the
will
of
the
people
behind
your
personal
interest
and
that's
the
view
of
the
people,
but
it's
very
clear
in
the
charter.
The
part
of
the
charter
that
talks
about,
if
you
do,
a
petition
selection
by
the
people
that
a
petition
of
the
electors
of
the
city
as
outlined
in
section
501,
signed,
examined
and
amended
or
certified
by
the
by
the
registrar
is
the
is
the
way
to
initiate
the
initiate
a
change
to
the
city
Charter.
M
And
then
it
says
if
any
amendment
is
proposed
by
Petition
of
the
electors,
the
city
council
shall
there
is
no
option.
The
city
council
shall
submit
the
same
to
the
electors
of
the
city
at
a
special
election
to
be
called
no
less
than
90
nor
more
than
120
days.
The
next
election
is
in
November.
The
city
knows
very
clearly
when
the
timeline
for
the
state
to
put
a
resolution
in
front
of
the
state
to
get
term
limits
on
the
ballot
any
time,
delay
or
any
reason
for
you
can't
argue
ex
post
facto
laws.
M
You
can't
argue
that
we're
term
limiting
people
that
are
already
in
office
because
those
only
apply
to
criminal
code.
There
is
no
real
objection
to
term
limits
that
you
can
make,
except
that
you're
you're,
trying
to
to
force
us
to
some
process
that
that
is
poorly
written
in
the
charter.
But
it's
very
very
clear
in
the
charter.
It
says
the
city
council
shall
put
this
in
front
of
the
people.
We
want
the
people
to
decide.
I
appreciate
your
your
comments.
M
I
I
read
the
the
issues
and
when
Katie
Bell
represented
the
the
City
previously
but
it,
but
it
appeared
to
the
public
that
that
when
that
that
caught
that
case
and
that
lawsuit
was
filed,
that
that
was
a
loss
to
the
city,
I,
don't
know
that
that's
the
right
person
to
pick
in
this
case
and
I,
don't
know
where
that
name
came
from,
but
I
think
that's
the
point
point
that
was
made
by
the
gentleman
earlier
and
I
think
it's
a
valid
point.
It
wasn't
an
unbiased
person.
It's
never
been
involved.
M
H
H
One
thing
that
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
in
our
oath
of
office
that
we
took
is
that
we
would
faithfully
and
impartially
discharge
the
duties
incumbent
upon
us
and
I.
Don't
I
can't
recall
since
I've
been
sitting
in
this
seat,
an
issue
that
has
come
before
the
council
so
strongly
from
our
citizens
that
it's
been
so
clear?
What
is
incumbent?
We
don't
have
to
pass
it.
H
If
you
don't
like
it,
you
can
vote
it
down.
That's
your
vote,
but
at
least
let
the
people
who
showed
up
here
today
who
took
time
off
of
work
who
had
people
watch
their
children
who
made
arrangements
to
be
here.
Let
them
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
their
mind.
Let
the
council
have
the
opportunity
to
have
the
debate.
H
H
D
To
how
we're
proceeding
I
spoke
to
miss
Bell
yesterday
morning,
her
opinion
will
be
back
on
Friday
as
I've.
Given
the
council,
my
previous
opinion,
the
council
asked
for
a
second
opinion
and
not
Mr
Smith,
Mr,
Hammonds
and
especially
mayor
Chandler
I,
understand
that
y'all
are
in
favor
of
term
limits.
You
want
term
limits.
D
You
want
to
push
this
matter
forward,
but
if
it's,
but
if
it's
brought
improperly
we're
not
going
to
have
valid
term
limits,
what
we
will
have
will
be
endless
litigation.
Miss
Bell
has
reported
to
me
that
her
opinion
will
be
transmitted
to
myself
and
the
city.
This
Friday,
my
opinion
respectfully,
would
be
to
receive
Miss
Bell's
opinion
digest
it
over
the
weekend
and
then
proceed
from
there.
That's
the
whole
reason
that
we're
seeking
the
outside
opinion.
Hopefully
you
know
that
we
could
avoid
needless
time-consuming,
expensive
litigation.
D
H
President,
real
quick:
this
is
an
ordinance
that
requires
two
readings.
So
if
the
opinion
is
going
to
be
here
on
Friday,
there's
nothing
stopping
us
at
least
moving
it
forward
for
a
final
vote
in
two
weeks.
I
think
that
would
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
citizens
that
we
at
least
take
it
up
today
and
if
we,
if
at
least
four
of
us
approve
we
move
on
in
two
weeks
or
final
approval,
and
if
Miss
Bell's
opinion
comes
back
that
something
needs
to
change,
then
we
can
address
that
matter.
H
A
Add-On
request
will
be
add-on.
New
business
number
11.,
appoint
Jerry
will
height
as
the
city's
appointment
to
the
Cyprus
Black
Bayou
Recreation
and
Water
Conservation
District
Board
of
Commissioners
to
replace
the
recently
vacated
position
requested
add-on
due
to
a
quorum
requirements
at
the
Cypress
Black
Bayou
Commission.
B
Thank
you,
I
would
ask
Mr
President
that
this
be
continued.
That
me
personally
I
had
no
idea
about
this
person
being
appointed
by
the
council.
Until
we
see
I
mean
council
members
may
have
other
recommendations,
I
don't
know
who
I
mean
I'm
sure
this
was
approved
of
all
of
y'all,
but
I
would
like
this
continued.
K
B
H
B
Yeah
I
mean
I,
just
don't
see,
I
mean
I
understand
that
they
need
another
member
on
there,
so
they
have
a
quorum,
but
I
mean
I
mean
me
personally:
that's
not
our
problem.
The
MPC
has
a
problem
getting
a
quorum.
They
do
I,
think
that
we
just
need
I
think
this
does
not
need
to
be
voted
on
today
that
we
need
to
have
some
more
discussion
on
this
all.
F
A
N
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
come
and
share
with
you
a
few
minutes,
some
updates
from
keep
Bossier,
beautiful
and
I
do
want
to
say.
I
really
hope
that
you
will
find
this
interesting
and
that
it
has
been
a
worthwhile
investment
in
your
Monies
to
invest
and
keep
those
you're
beautiful.
So
I
want
to
start
by
sharing
with
you
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
this
year,
we
started
out
in
January
with
a
a
fabulous
Arbor
Day
Gathering.
N
We
had
about
80
individuals
that
gathered
to
help
us
plant
trees
on
the
Arthur
Ray
T
Parkway.
Some
of
the
groups
that
we
partner
with
are
pictured
there,
the
Republican
women,
the
Bossier
Lions
Club,
the
Barksdale
Federal
Credit
Union
and
National
Honor
Society
students
from
Bossier
High,
which
we're
always
glad
to
to
work
with
students.
You
can
see
these
trees
that
we
planted
here.
There
are
seven
to
eight
feet
tall.
N
They
will
be
beautiful,
beautiful
in
a
few
years
and
a
nice
addition
to
Arthur
at
we're
very
happy
to
to
do
this
in
our
community
and
every
year
each
Community
each
affiliate
each
keep
America
beautiful
affiliate
has
to
do
a
commuter
Community
index
litter
index.
It
is
one
that
every
affiliate
in
the
United
States
uses.
We
all
use
the
same
method
to
measure
litter.
We
use
a
scale
from
one
to
four,
four
being
the
highest
one
being
the
best,
the
first
three
years
that
we
did
it.
N
We
had
an
index
of
1.8
all
three
years
in
Bossier
Parish.
Now
this
last
year
we
had
an
index
of
1.6,
so
we're
moving
in
the
right.
The
right
direction
and
I
want
to
bring
that
to
you,
because
I
want
to
show
that
the
work
of
these
volunteers
is
really
making
a
difference.
But
I
also
want
to
ask
you
if
I
should
have
the
opportunity
at
some
future
date,
I'd
love
to
tell
you
about
a
Statewide
litter
index
that
is
just
being
conducted.
We've
got
the
the
preview
of
the
results
that
just
come
out.
N
N
We're
also
still
promoting
businesses
in
our
community
that
have
take
a
lot
of
effort
to
beautify
their
their
exteriors.
We
want
to
say
congratulations
to
Brown
Builders
and
the
Villagio
for
being
our
winners.
Our
runners-up
are
fire
sprinkles,
specialty
fire
fire
system,
Specialties
and
the
Blake,
and
you
guys
are
very
familiar
with
operation,
Clean
Sweep,
a
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
parish
and
the
sheriff's
department.
We're
very
pleased
this
year
to
pick
up
9.4
tons
of
litter.
N
N
This
is
a
a
an
initiative
that
I'm
super
excited
about
is
an
anti-litter
campaign
with
bitstool
and
AEP
Swepco
Foundation,
we
partnered
with
the
graphics
art
program
at
bipstone
to
create
anti-litter
images
with
their
graphic
art
students.
We
had
a
contest:
these
are
the
10
winning
images
and
those
are
the
students
there
that
created
those
images.
We
will
have
another
10
images
that
will
come
from
the
fall
to
give
us
20
images
that
we
will,
thanks
to
Swepco,
be
able
to
put
in
a
sandwich
board.
N
Those
sandwich
boards
will
be
rolled
out
every
morning
during
the
the
pickup
and
drop
off
line
at
every
school
in
Bossier
Parish,
where
we
have
elementary
students.
So
we're
thinking
super
cool
that
we
have
images
created
by
students
for
students,
so
we're
we're
very
happy
to
be
pushing
out
this
educational
initiative
and
there's
some
of
the
students
in
their
drawings.
N
Love
the
boot
week
a
week
that
is
celebrated
throughout
the
state.
Every
Parish
in
our
state
is
asked
to
do
something
to
enhance
their
Parish.
We
started
off
with
a
strong
educational
Movement.
We
went
into
five
elementary
schools,
Central
Park
Bossier,
Elementary,
Plantation,
Park,
Kerr
and
Sun
City-
to
do
Earth,
Day
activities
and
share
litter
messages
with
the
students.
It
was
very
fine
and
very
well
received.
N
We
went
on
to
partner
with
the
Louisiana
Downs
and
on-site,
secure,
shredding
and
Goodwill
Industries
to
practice
a
Theo,
the
three
R's
we
recycled,
forty
thousand
pounds
of
paper,
and
we
wrote
a
grant
with
the
Master
Gardeners
called
the
welcome
factor
for
the
city
of
Bossier.
We
did
some
enhancements
at
the
animal
shelter,
which
is
a
fabulous
fabulous
facility,
but
we
wanted
to
add
some
landscaping
and
we'd
still
like
to
do
some
artwork
there.
But
we
put
in
two
very
nice
flower
beds
on
each
side
of
the
entryway.
We
planted
six
trees.
N
N
We
always
love
to
work
with
the
Veterans
Home
on
most
of
the
the
live
oak
trees
that
have
planted
there
were
planted
by
previous
kibo's,
your
beautiful
team,
but
we
came
aware
of
a
a
need
for
their
Gardens
and
how
they
were
looking.
So
this
is
the
picture
before,
and
this
is
the
picture
after
we
went
in
and
took
out
everything
else
that
was
left.
We
added
some
some
permanent
curving
to
really
make
those
flower
beds
stand
out
and
it
was
such
a
joy
to
work
there.
N
We
just
received
funding
to
do
another
flower
bed
on
the
other
side
of
that
glass
hallway.
That's
where
a
lot
of
the
the
veterans
sit
in
their
Wheelchairs
and
look
out,
so
they
were
very
pleased.
It
was
very
rewarding
for
us
to
be
there
doing
that,
and
they've
expressed
a
lot
of
excitement
about
having
that
there
one
of
our
latest
projects
is
called
the
gateway
Expo.
It's
just
a
dream.
N
We
have-
and
we
have
asked
some
of
our
community
members
to
help
us,
but
it's
a
dream
to
have
a
new
welcome
to
Bossier
sign,
put
up
on
the
west
side
of
Interstate
20,
and
we
with
the
help
of
Carlotta
and
the
MPC
and
city
of
Bossier.
We
were
able
to
see
some
fabulous
renderings
renderings
from
some
of
our
local
Architects.
We
had
six
Architects
that
donated
a
concept
for
what
this
sign
might
look
like,
and
these
are
the
these
are
three
of
them,
one
from
Jeff
spikes
from
Chris,
Merkel
and
Kevin
Bryan.
N
N
Our
second
place
winner
was
from
Mark
Prevo,
and
then
the
winner
came
from
Clarence
Babino
at
sgb
Architects,
and
so
this
is
the
concept
that
everybody
likes
and
it
it
was
real
close
though
the
top
two
were
very
close.
Now,
we've
just
got
to
figure
out
how
to
get
a
set
of
B-52
Wings
on
the
side
of
the
interstate
that
measure
162
feet
in
length.
So
this
could
be
a
real
real
icon
for
us.
If
we
can
figure
out
how
to
do
it,
so
we
have
no
money,
we
have
no
permits.
N
We
have
nothing
but
a
dream.
Now,
we've
got
a
long
way
to
go,
but
we're
hopeful
that
this
could
be
something
pretty
spectacular
for
our
community
upcoming
events
on
August
the
12th.
We
will
have
an
electronic
waste
recycling
event
where,
if
you
have
a
cell
phones,
PCS
laptops
any
kind
of
phone
devices
that
you
want
in
your
small
business
that
you
want
to
recycle
we'd
love
to
take
those
for
you.
We're
also
doing
an
environmentally
aware
student
seminar
for
students
grades
five
through
eight,
it's
a
three-hour
seminar.
N
Students
come
they
learn
about
litter,
who
causes
litter,
what
we
do
with
litter,
how
it
impacts
our
environment
and
they
earn
a
patch.
We
have
one
of
three
patches
that
keep
Bossier
beautiful,
that
they
can
earn.
Of
course,
as
always,
we'll
have
our
911
remembrance
ceremony
on
September,
the
11th
and
also
in
September
on
the
24th.
We
will
be
having
our
annual
fundraising
razor
dinner
Under,
the
Stars,
a
taste
of
the
East
Bank,
so
thank
you,
city
of
Bossier,
for
letting
us
use
the
Pavilion
on
the
East
Bank.
N
N
E
N
A

B
D
I,
can
you
the
individual,
apparently
that
ran,
ran
into
the
tower
at
the
Shady
Grove
Fire
Station
had
no
insurance
had
no
assets,
not
even
the
minimum
amount
of
insurance.
We
did
look
into
it
a
possibility.
The
police
investigated
the
deceased.
Apparently
he
had
some
type
of
heart
attack
or
sudden
life
ending
event.
D
A
A
B
P
The
cost
of
kids
chemicals
power
and
a
little
bit
of
laboratory
work,
we've
seen
you
know
back
pre-covet
chemicals
for
the
year,
we're
running
around
a
million
little
less,
and
we
just
did
budgeting
for
2024
and
we're
looking
at
twice
that
so
those
have
gone
up
and
we're
renewing
those
contracts.
Working
with
Finance
Finance
is
working
real
hard
to
make
it
as
competitive
as
possible.
But
it's
it's
just
one
of
those
things.
So
that's
that's
the
down
or
the
good
news
is
we're
selling
a
lot
more
water.
P
B
P
A
lot
of
it's
tied
up
with
Trucking
costs
and
fuel
because
they're
bringing
truckloads
of
liquid
oxygen
to
the
plant
chlorine,
which
we
use
quite
a
bit
of,
went
from
about
Seventeen
hundred
dollars
a
ton
to
Seventeen
hundred
dollars.
A
ton
and
y'all
don't
see
it,
but
if
you
might
catch
it
on
the
news
periodically
that
you
know
that
they're
rationing
pool
chlorine
supplies
for
drinking
water
supplies
and
things
like
that,
there's
been
plants
that
have
caught
on
fire
that
only
produce
that
chemical
in
the
country
and
on
on
it
goes
so
I.
B
F
Q
Good
afternoon
these
Gates
were
requested
by
Miss
bonavir.
She
currently
uses
Jersey
barriers,
so
these
are
on
the
areas
right
around
the
arena
at
the
access
points,
and
so
this
is
a
more
permanent
solution.
She
has
consulted
with
the
fire
chief
on
making
sure
access
is
there
to
them,
but
it's
ultimately
to
prevent
Ram
terrorism
and
so
for
the
safety.
They've
also
had
some
issues
with
people
parking
illegally,
which
they
can
have
those
Vehicles
towed.
But
in
the
meantime,
if
there
is
an
emergency,
then
it
ties
up
that
lane
of
traffic.
Q
C
E
E
R
Afternoon,
Council
at
this
time,
as
far
as
the
debris
removal
we're
in
our
second
round
in
Shady
Grove
Sun
City
Pecan
Park
there
there
may
be
a
few
streets
in
there
that
still
have
some
files
from
the
first
from
the
initial
storm.
Some
are
located
under
low
wires
that
the
big
trucks
can't
get
we're
having
to
get
our
smaller
trucks
back
in
there
Swan
Lake
Rebel,
the
shallow
Glendale
subdivision,
we're
still
working
on
that
we're
in
Bel
Air
right
now
on
our
second
round
and
the
Waller
area,
and
also
the.
R
R
I
I
R
R
R
E
R
Well,
one
thing
is:
is
an
average
citizen
doesn't
think
about
this,
but
when
you're
standing
on
in
front
of
your
house,
if
you
look
up
and
there's
a
power
line
directly
over,
everything
that
has
to
be
picked
up
with
a
hydraulic
arm
is
going
to
have
to
negotiate
that
wire
or
if
you
have
a
mailbox,
keep
it
away
from
the
mailbox
between
the
street
and
sidewalk.
If
possible.
J
R
E
C
R
R
Well,
we're
we're
in
our
seventh
week
now
so
you
know,
I
was
hoping
that
we'd
be
done
at
six
weeks.
Surely
by
the
next
council
meeting,
we
should
be
wrapping
up
most
of
the
debris
pickup.
Now
the
grass
cutting
is
going
to
take
some
time,
but
drought
Heat
and
are
gonna,
are
gonna,
take
effect
of
the
grass
and
allow
us
to
start
begin
to
gain
on
it,
because
I
would
I
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
projects.
R
The
side,
some
chemical
and
growth
regulators
and
things
to
shut
the
grass
down
and
it's
not
going
to
kill
it.
Man
have
a
little
brown
appearance,
but
it's
not
going
to
kill
it.
It'll
come
back,
try
to
get
rid
of
some
of
these
different
grasses
that
grow
and
extend
the
head
up
that
that
are
eyesore.
So
we
just
are
maintaining
the
Bermuda
grass
and
short
grasses
that
are
easy
to
maintain
a
manicure
and.
R
I
wanted
to
let
them
come
through
and
sweep
and
they'll
cut
it
and
then
actually,
when
we
cut
we'll
be
getting
a
second
cutting
on
those
those
some
of
those
areas
I
have
sprayed
with
some
chemical
to
get
rid
of
some
of
this
Johnson
grass
and
try
to
keep
that
from
coming
back
up
because
you
cut
it
two
weeks
later,
it's
two
and
a
half
feet
tall.
If,
with
any
rain,
everything
by
Willis
Knighton
is
like.
R
L
R
Does
the
state
do
all
that
by
Willow
sniping
inside
the
inside
on
I-20?
Yes,
we
we
maintain
the
exits
back
to
the
traffic
Gore
of
the
exit
on
the
on-ramp
just
for
a
service
to
the
citizens,
so
it
looks
better.
I
haven't
been
able
to
keep
that
up
this
year,
we're
running
a
little
bit
behind,
but
we
will
get
back.
On
top
of
that,
like
I
said
the
the
Heat
and
hot
weather
will
slow
the
grass
down
and,
and
that
in
turn
is
going
to
allow
us
to
gain
on
it.
R
R
Yeah
they're
they're
they're
they're
at
Shady,
Grove
about
even
with
Shady
Grove.
Today
they
started
this
morning
at
I
think
they
were
up
there
about
the
boat
ramp.
This
morning,
that's
are
going
south
they'll
be
turning
around
and
coming
back
up,
Highway
71
and
I'm
going
to
get
back
up,
71
back
I'm.
H
H
But
and
it's
only
because
we're
taking
calls
and
just
wanting
to
get
the
information
back
to
the
to
the
customers,
but
you
know
we
are
very
thankful
for
the
work
that
your
department
has
done.
I
mean
this
morning,
I
spent
my
morning
mowing
grass
and
doing
exterior
work
and
I
thought.
I
was
going
to
pass
out
from
the
heat
it
was
so
hot,
and
so
I
can
only
imagine
working
in
those
conditions
all
day
and
and
so
I.
H
R
B
C
G
G
My
hat's
after
you've
done
some
work,
there's
frustration.
There
I've
been
frustrated,
but
you've
I've
seen
the
debris.
You've
done
what
you
did
with
that
Parkway
hats
off
to
you.
Great
job,
I
appreciate
you.
So
there
is
effort
out
there
and,
and
his
department
has
done
very
well.
If
you
walk
that
trail.
You'll
know
real
quick.
That
kind
of
work.
They've
done
it's
it's
kind
of
hard
to
keep
up
with
Mother,
Nature
and
85
mile
an
hour
winds,
yeah.
G
C
E
K
My
name
is
Deborah
Ross
I
live
at
1200,
full
of
love
in
Bossier
City,
a
young
man,
I
realize
you're
doing
an
outstanding
job
with
you
and
your
your
guys
that
you
have
working
for
you,
but
in
the
Box
Hill
Annex
neighborhood,
there's
tons
of
trees
there
and
I've
called
two
or
three
times
and
the
trees
and
limbs
are
still
there.
So
I
know
you
work
it
outstanding,
but
can
you
think
about
box
to
landex.
R
K
E
E
R
O
E
So
so
I
just
want
to
I
just
want
that
to
be
clear,
because
sometimes
we
underestimate
your
department
and
you
are
responsive
to
every
neighborhood
to
every
council
member
and
that's
what
you've
done.
I've,
never
I've,
never
called
you.
I've,
never
asked
you
to
make
make
an
attempt
that
you
never
responded.
You've
always
responded
and
I
just
want
that
to
be
clear,
but
that's
all
I
have
Mr
President.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
E
K
Look
out
my
back
door.
I
have
trees,
that's
from
that
door
from
that
last
year.
Up
to
here
piled
up
to
here
and
the
grass
has
grown
up
to
it,
at
least
to
my
knee
so
I'm,
just
letting
you
know
the
young
man
might
do
an
outstanding
job
with.
However
many
so
people
they
have
working
for
him,
but
I
know
barcelandics
still
had
tons
of
debridement.
That
needs
to
be
picked
up.
Yes,.
A
A
S
P
I
mentioned
to
the
administration
earlier
this
morning
that
we
received
our
sanitary
survey
from
LDH.
We
have
that
conducted
twice
a
year,
been
doing
this
a
long
time
for
a
lot
of
communities
and
that's
the
first
sanitary
survey
that
I've
seen
come
back
with
no
findings,
zero
findings
at
all
and
they
go
through
paperwork.
They
go
through
your
infrastructure.
They
go
through
everything,
so
I'm
honored
to
serve
the
crew.
P
It's
not
me
if
I
knew
I
was
going
to
get
up
here
and
have
the
whole
water
plant
here,
because
they
they're
the
ones
that
really
bear
the
bulk
of
that.
But
it's
it's
a
big
deal
for
me
professionally
to
see
that
we
we
stress
out
over
it
a
lot.
This
work
is
very
important
to
us
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
a
big
deal
for
Bossier
City
to
have
a
no
blemish
on
your
on
your
record
for
for
water
treatment
and
production.
R
B
P
Yeah,
you
know,
sometimes
the
money
goes
to
folks
that
don't
take
as
good
a
care
of
their
infrastructure,
but
it
certainly
allows
us
to
be
able
to
do
things
that
we
need
to
do
for
the
community.
You
know
when
we
have
power,
outages
and
things
like
that.
We
have
resources,
generators,
Staffing,
the
like
that
that
we
can
use
to
keep
things
going,
but
it's
a
big
deal.
P
You
know
if
you're,
not
in
the
industry,
it
may
be
difficult
to
understand
that,
but
they
usually
will
find
a
speck
of
paint.
You
know
a
blade
of
grass
a
toilet
paper,
roll
that
needs
to
be
put
on
the
in
the
bathroom
I
mean
they
find
things.
That's
what
their
job
is
so
to
have.
No
findings
at
all
was
was
a
very
proud
moment
for
us
in
public
utilities.
So
thank
you.
Councilman.
