AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT'S WHY OUR ECONOMY IS SO STRONG THAT THAT JUST FILTERS OUT INTO SO MANY, MANY GOOD WAYS.

AND WE NEED TO CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY IN OUR OWN EMPLOYEE RANKS AND IN OUR OWN IN OUR OWN WORKFORCE, BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY REPRESENT THE COMMUNITY THAT WE LIVE IN.

SO, WITH THAT, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THIS TEAM THERE IN ORANGE, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT WEARING MY ORANGE TODAY.

IT'S TERRIBLE. BUT THEY'VE REALLY UPPED OUR GAME IN TERMS OF CELEBRATING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY FEELS WELCOME AND THAT ALL CULTURES AND BACKGROUNDS ARE CELEBRATED IN JEFFERSON PARISH.

WE ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST EMPLOYERS IN IN JEFFERSON PARISH.

SO, I'LL READ IT AND THEN WE'LL GET YOU ALL TO COME UP AND INTRODUCE ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS.

AND WHEREAS, THE JEFFERSON PARISH DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BOARD IS COMPRISED OF DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVES WHO SERVE TO FOSTER A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND AWARENESS OF THE VALUE OF EACH HUMAN BEING REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATIONALITY, COLOR, RACE, SEX, GENDER, COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, OR LANGUAGE.

AND WHEREAS THIS BOARD CELEBRATES THE UNIQUE ABILITIES OF OUR DIVERSE JEFFERSON PARISH WORKFORCE AND CREATES A WELCOMING, INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT TO BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHEREAS RECENT EVENTS HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR EVEN GREATER AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE OF INDIVIDUALS WHOSE CULTURES AND ETHNICITIES ARE DIFFERENT FROM OUR OWN, WE ARE A STRONGER COMMUNITY WHEN WE HELP EACH OTHER.

WHEREAS THE JEFFERSON PARISH DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BOARD HAS BROUGHT UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS TO THE ENJOYMENT OF OUR EMPLOYEES, YOU ALL HAVE HAD FUN. WE'VE HAD A GOOD TIME WHILE CELEBRATING SO MANY DIFFERENT CULTURES.

AND WHEREAS THE JEFFERSON PARISH DIVERSITY INCLUSION BOARD IS RECOGNIZED AND COMMENDED FOR MAKING GREAT STRIDES IN PROMOTING DIVERSITY AWARENESS AND INCLUSION IN OUR WORKPLACE, NOW, THEREFORE, I, CYNTHIA LEE SHENG, PRESIDENT OF JEFFERSON PARISH, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2023 AS DIVERSITY INCLUSION AWARENESS MONTH IN JEFFERSON PARISH.

MIC].

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY. WE'LL START THE MEETING IN 14 MINUTES.

[00:11:46]

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, WE DO HAVE ONE MORE.

ONE MORE SHORT PRESENTATION THIS MORNING.

IF I GET TERRY PAJEROS TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM, PLEASE.

EPILEPSY AWARENESS MONTH IS IN NOVEMBER.

AND TERRY IS HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT THIS MORNING.

GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU TODAY.

MY NAME IS TERRY PAJARES, AND OF COURSE, I'M AN EMPLOYEE OF JEFFERSON PARISH AND THE PARISH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE, I AM THE FOUNDER OF EPILEPSY AWARENESS OF AMERICA.

AND FOR THAT REASON, I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY.

MY NONPROFIT COMPANY WAS CREATED TO HELP BOTH THE PARISH TO RECOGNIZE A LARGE GROUP OF ITS CITIZENS THAT HAVE EPILEPSY, AND I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE MY STORY AND LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THERE ARE MEDICAL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE, OTHER THAN MEDICATION, THAT WILL HELP YOU REGAIN AS MUCH OF A NORMALIZED LIFE AS POSSIBLE.

I'VE BEEN PRIVILEGED THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE TWO BRAIN SURGERIES TO HELP LESSEN THE EFFECT OF EPILEPSY ON MY EVERYDAY LIFE.

EPILEPSY IS AN INVISIBLE DISABILITY, AND IT MAY NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.

MANY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS BELIEVE THAT EPILEPSY IS AN INVISIBLE DISABILITY AS IT AFFECTS EVERY ASPECT OF EVERYDAY LIFE, BOTH IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND MY FAMILY LIFE.

JUST TODAY, IN ORDER TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU, I HAD TO ARRIVE AT THE BUILDING AT 7 A.M.

AS IT WAS THE ONLY TIME I COULD ARRANGE FOR A RIDE DUE TO MY INVISIBLE DISABILITY, THE RESTRICTION FROM DRIVING.

IT ALSO TAKES YOUR FREEDOM AWAY AND THE LOSS OF MEMORY.

I DON'T REMEMBER MY KIDS GROWING UP.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[00:15:03]

MY SON GRADUATED FROM THE FIRE STATION DEPARTMENT.

BUT PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF EPILEPSY SO THAT WE CAN HELP THEM OUT.

WE DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO JUST RECOGNIZE EPILEPSY.

AWARENESS OF AMERICA.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW THAT JEFFERSON PARISH DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION BOARD HAS HELPED.

I STARTED THE JEFFERSON PARISH EPILEPSY WALK, OF WHICH WE ARE NOW COMING TO OUR FOURTH ANNUAL WALK TO HELP GATHER ALL PEOPLE AROUND SO THEY CAN BE TOGETHER DURING EPILEPSY AWARENESS MONTH TO TALK AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER, AND MAYBE FIND A SOLUTION BEYOND DAILY MEDICATION TO MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER AND TO BECOME MORE NORMALIZED.

AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND ALL OF OUR JEFFERSON PARISH COUNCIL MEMBERS THAT HAVE OFFERED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS YEAR'S WALK.

WE ENCOURAGE THE OTHERS TO LOOK AT OUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS EPILEPSYAA FOR EPILEPSY AWARENESS OF AMERICA.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO GIVE YOU A SPECIAL THANKS, PARISH PRESIDENT CYNTHIA LEE SHENG AND HEARTFELT SUPPORT FOR MY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE DOMINIC IMPASTATO, WHO THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE JOURNEY OF MINE, THEY HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A 100% SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING OF OUR ORGANIZATION TO HOPE THE BETTERMENT OF OTHERS IN JEFFERSON PARISH.

I LOOK FORWARD TO BUILDING A BETTER AND LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYBODY HERE IN JEFFERSON PARISH AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO HAS EPILEPSY. I WANT THEM TO KNOW HOW MUCH MY LIFE HAS CHANGED.

IT'S JUST IT'S AMAZING.

AND TECHNOLOGY.

I HAVE A DEVICE IN HERE.

IT WORKS LIKE A PACEMAKER.

A PACEMAKER SENSES THE HEART'S NOT BEATING AND SHOCKS AGAINST IT TO GET THE HEART BEATING AGAIN.

MINE IS JUST THE OPPOSITE.

IT SENSES THE SEIZURE COMING ON AND SHOCKS AGAINST IT TO PREVENT IT.

I WANT TO THANK YOU, EVERYBODY IN JEFFERSON PARISH AND THE PARISH COUNCIL.

THANK YOU.

[00:21:36]

[MEETING CALLED TO ORDER]

VERY SUBDUED AUDIENCE.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.

THIS IS THE JEFFERSON PARISH COUNCIL MEETING ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18TH, 2023.

WE'RE IN THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT BUILDING, 200 URBAN STREET IN GRETNA.

THIS MEETING IS NOW CALLED TO ORDER.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE THE FLOOR TO COUNCILMAN EDWARDS NOW TO INTRODUCE HIS GUEST, WHO WILL LEAD US IN OUR INVOCATION TODAY.

THANK YOU, SIR. HANG ON.

THERE YOU GO. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE OUR UNMUTE YOURSELF, MARY.

ARE YOU STILL MUTED? OKAY. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

HE IS A PASTOR OF THE REGULAR BAPTIST CHURCH HERE IN GRETNA, WHICH IS ACTUALLY VERY CLOSE BY.

IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK ON FIFTH STREET AND RIGHT AT WIRE.

PASTOR HODGE HAS BEEN SUCH AN IMPORTANT MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND ON A VERY PERSONAL NOTE, PASTOR, I THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HELP THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO ME WITH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB.

AND IT IS MY VERY GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE PASTOR TA HODGE THIS MORNING.

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, PASTOR HODGE.

THANK YOU. AMEN.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO GIVE CREDENCE TO OUR PARISH PRESIDENT, OUR PARISH COUNCILMAN, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JUDGE COUNCIL MAYOR MARION EDWARDS FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY AND SUCH A MOMENT LIKE THIS.

LET US GO INTO PRAYER.

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME, WE APPROACH YOU RECOGNIZING THAT YOU ARE GOD AND WITHOUT YOU WE ARE NOTHING AND WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING.

AND SO, THIS MORNING, MASTER, WE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US HERE SAFELY.

GOD, WE PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT YOUR SPIRIT WOULD BE POURED OUT UPON THE PARISH COUNCIL MEMBERS, GOD, AND THAT YOU WOULD GIVE THEM WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE TO MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT YOU WOULD WANT THEM TO MAKE CONCERNING THIS PARISH. WE PRAY NOW FOR PEACE, FOR STRENGTH, NO ANIMOSITY AND SAFETY TO TAKE PLACE IN THIS MEETING THIS MORNING WE CALL UPON YOU IN BELIEVING THAT IT'S ALREADY DONE IN JESUS' NAME, AND WE SAY AMEN. ME? YES. I'M SORRY. YOU TALK UP, MAN.

I COULDN'T HEAR YOU.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THANK YOU. SCOTT.

THANK YOU. MAKE SIGN NOW.

MY APOLOGIES. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

HOLD ON. ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY'S OPEN.

THERE WE GO.

[00:25:02]

THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. MADAM PRESIDENT, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

[PARISH PRESIDENT TO ADDRESS COUNCIL]

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

I'M GOING TO START WITH SALTWATER INTRUSION UPDATE.

LAST THURSDAY, WE HAD SOME VERY GOOD NEWS.

THE CORPS RELEASED AN UPDATED TIMELINE THAT SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR CHLORIDE LEVELS NOT TO EXCEED 250 PARTS PER MILLION FOR ALL THREE JEFFERSON PARISH INTAKES.

WE WILL CONTINUE FORWARD ON OUR MITIGATION APPROACH.

AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE VIDEO, WE'RE SHOWING YOU WHAT OUR SYSTEM, OUR FLEXIBLE WATER LINE SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE, JUST IN CASE THAT THE FORECAST CHANGES.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THIS TIME WASTED.

WE WANT TO BE READY, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEST BANK.

SO CONSTRUCTION ON THIS WATER LINE BEGAN ON OCTOBER 4TH.

AND ONCE FINISHED, WE'RE ALL OF THE HOSE HAS BEEN LAID OUT ALREADY.

WE'RE NOW INSTALLING THE PUMPS.

WE DO PLAN TO TEST THE SYSTEM.

LAST THURSDAY, WE HOSTED A MEETING AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER WITH MEMBER MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM, AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, FEMA, THE CORPS AND GOSSIP TO TALK ABOUT MITIGATION EFFORTS.

AND THEY VISITED THE SITE OF THE FLEXIBLE WATER LINE SYSTEM TO SEE IT FIRSTHAND.

SO, THE WEST BANK FLEXIBLE WATER LINE SYSTEM BEGINS AT THE INTAKE OF THE WEST BANK TREATMENT PLANT THAT PRODUCES 30 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER A DAY.

WE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST BIG INTAKE PLANT AT THE WEST BANK TO TO HAVE THE SALT WATER INTRUSION AFFECT US.

THE COMPLETE SYSTEM CONSISTS OF EIGHT 12 INCH DIAMETER, FLEXIBLE LAYFLAT LAYFLAT PIPES WITH FOUR HIGH VELOCITY DIESEL PUMPS EVERY ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILES, APPROXIMATELY FOR THE FIRST SEVEN MILES.

AND THEN OUR UPDATED KIND OF MODIFIED SYSTEM IS THAT THE REMAINING SEVEN MILES WILL CONSIST OF A PARTIAL SYSTEM WITH TWO 12-INCH LAY FLATS AND ONE PUMP EVERY THREE- AND ONE-HALF MILES.

CERTAINLY, OUR STRATEGY CONTINUES TO BE WE HAVE THE EQUIPMENT IN PLACE, EVEN THOUGH WE GOT A MUCH BETTER FORECAST.

IT'S HERE. WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT US IN FUTURE YEARS.

WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TEST IT.

SO, WE CHOSE THIS SYSTEM OF LAY FLATS BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE NIMBLE THAN OTHER MATERIALS, AND THEY ALLOW US TO WORK AROUND OBSTACLES ON THE BATCHER.

AT THIS TIME. WE CONTINUE TO SURVEY LAND AND OBTAIN NECESSARY PERMITS AND PERMISSIONS SIMILAR FOR THE EAST BANK, BUT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE HAVING TO DEPLOY ANY EQUIPMENT ON THE EAST BANK.

WE JUST WANT TO BE READY IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS, AND WE WANT TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE THE LAND ISSUES FIRST, AND THAT WOULD HAVE THE INTAKE THERE.

THE POSITION OF THE EAST INTAKE IS 6.3 MILES UP THE RIVER FROM THE WEST JEFFERSON INTAKE.

SO, THE CITY OF GRETNA.

JUST A REMINDER, THE LATEST FORECAST WAS VERY, VERY GOOD NEWS FOR THE CITY OF GRETNA.

THEY GOT OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE, SO TO SPEAK, BUT THEY DO PRODUCE 4 MILLION GALLONS A DAY.

AND THEIR STRATEGY I'M IN TOUCH WITH MAYOR CONSTANT A LOT ON THIS ISSUE, BARGING WATER AND REVERSE OSMOSIS MACHINES.

AND THEY WILL BE READY AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH FULL REDUNDANCY IF THEY NEED.

IF THE FORECAST CHANGES FOR GRETNA.

AND THEN, JUST AS A REMINDER, GRAND ISLE WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH AN EMERGENCY LINE THROUGH LAFOURCHE PARISH, SO THEY WERE HANDLED.

THE OFFICIAL FEMA REQUEST FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE WAS COMPLETED ON OCTOBER 2ND.

AND GOSSIP IS ALSO ACTIVELY SUPPORTING US THROUGH A COOPERATIVE ENDEAVOR AGREEMENT TO OFFSET THE 12.5 PERCENT OF THE 25% FEMA PUBLIC ASSISTANCE COST SHARE FOR THE SALTWATER INTRUSION EVENT.

I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW PROUD I AM OF OUR TEAM WHO HAD TO GET CREATIVE AND WORK REALLY FAST BECAUSE THE SOLUTIONS PROPOSED BY THE CORPS AND BY THE STATE WERE NOT GOING TO HELP US AT THE FIRST AT OUR WEST JEFF INTAKE. AND I WANT TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

THEY WORK SO HARD, AND THEY WERE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING US OUT OF OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

WITH THIS POTENTIAL SALTWATER INTRUSION.

I NEED TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

PUBLIC WORKS UNDER THEIR LEADERSHIP.

MARK DREWS, OBVIOUSLY OUR WATER DIRECTOR, SIDNEY BAISLEY, MARK BROUGHT IN THE WHOLE TEAM.

DRAINAGE DIRECTOR BEN LÉPINE.

ANGELA DESOTO, WHO IS OUR ENGINEERING DIRECTOR, WAS ALSO PART OF THAT.

AND MITCH THERIOT, THE FORMER DRAINAGE DIRECTOR, WAS ALSO REALLY PART OF THAT TEAM TO REALLY STRATEGIZE AND COME UP WITH OUR VERY OWN SYSTEM IN JEFFERSON PARISH TO HANDLE THIS. SO THIS IS A LOCAL TEAM SOLVING THIS INCREDIBLE PROBLEM FOR US, AS WELL AS, OF COURSE, THE REST OF OUR TEAM THAT WAS WORKING ON THIS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JOE VALIENTE, OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, SARAH BABCOCK, HANDLING MANY ISSUES WITH THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH, NICOLE GOBERT WATCHING OUR SPENDING.

SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET REIMBURSED UNDER TIM PALMINTERI'S DEPARTMENT.

NICOLE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY GRANTS, ADMINISTRATION, OF COURSE, GRETCHEN HURT WITH OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE, AND ALSO JEFF TATE WITH OUR WORKING ON SOME SOME MAPS AND

[00:30:08]

SO I WANT TO THANK OUR TEAM AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE TESTING.

THE REST OF THE STATE IS ANXIOUS TO SEE IT BECAUSE THIS MAY BE AN ALTERNATIVE.

THIS FLEXIBLE WATER LINE SYSTEM, IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN FOR SMALLER, SMALLER INTAKES.

AND SO THE STATE IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED AS WELL AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND SEEING WHAT OUR TESTING LOOKS LIKE.

OKAY, I'LL MOVE ON. SURPLUS AUCTION.

WE'RE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH GOV DEALS, IS HOSTING AN ONLINE SURPLUS AUCTION ON UNTIL FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27TH.

THE AUCTION INCLUDES TRUCKS, CARS, SUVS, ZERO TURN MOWERS, MISCELLANEOUS LAWN EQUIPMENT, LARGE TRACTORS WITH BACKHOES, AND MESSAGE BOARDS ON TRAILERS.

AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, WE ARE THE VOLUNTEER GARDENERS AT LAFRENIERE PARK, AND ALSO WE ARE THE VOLUNTEER GARDENERS FOR LASALLE PARK, WHERE MR. BONANO GAVE US A WHOLE PARK TO OURSELF OF A GARDEN FOR SENIORS.

WE HAVE DEVELOPED WHAT YOU STAND FOR EVERY DAY, AND WE WANT TO THANK YOU AS A KIWANIS CLUB.

BUT MR. MEL ALSO SAID EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THEM.

AND MR. EDWARDS WAS STILL HERE AT THE SAME AGE.

WE GOT IT GOING. THIS IS BOO TO YOU SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT.

BOO TO YOU IS A FAMILY SERIES.

IT'S WHAT YOU, THE COUNCIL STAND FOR.

BOO TO YOU OFFERS 14 ACTIVITIES.

WHAT I'M GOING TO BRAG ABOUT YOU TO TONIGHT IS ABOUT YOU.

THE COUNCIL ARE PROVIDING TO OUR PARISH THROUGH THE HONORABLE TRIP RABELAIS.

TRIP RABELAIS, FOUR YEARS AGO, IN THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC, WAS DETERMINED TO PUT TOGETHER A SAFE AND SECURE TRUNK OR TREAT.

AND LET ME BRAG ABOUT YOU.

YOU ALL ARE SPECIAL.

YOU ARE HOSTING THE LARGEST TRUNK OR TREAT IN THE REGION IN A SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT.

SOUNDS GOOD, SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT.

MISTER. MR. RABELAIS IS SUCH A DISTINGUISHED INDIVIDUAL.

I'M GOING TO LET HIM.

I'M GOING TO LET HIM TALK ABOUT THIS.

BUT FOR DAWN BUSSES.

GOD BLESS YOU.

WE THANK YOU FOR LETTING US BE THE LARGEST NON PROFIT.

WE LOVE YOU.

WE'RE A PART OF YOU.

TELL US WHAT YOU NEED AND WE'LL GET IT DONE.

I NOW TURN IT OVER TO MY SUPERVISOR.

OKAY. WELL, IF ANY OF YOU KNOW SAL, WE ALL KNOW THAT I AM NOT HIS SUPERVISOR.

I AM AT HIS BECK AND CALL.

BUT WE DID DO THIS FOUR YEARS AGO.

AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS ITS FOURTH ANNUAL EVENT.

WE HAVE SIX I THINK WE HAVE 52 OR 53 TRUNKS CONFIRMED RIGHT NOW FOR $15.

KIDS ARE GOING TO GET MORE CANDY AND THEY'RE GOING TO EVER SPEND GETTING THEY'RE GOING IF THEY SPENT $15 ON THEM.

AND IT'S A WONDERFUL FAMILY EVENT.

AND THE REASON WE'RE NOT CHARGING THE ADULTS SAL STILL WANTS TO CHARGE THE ADULTS IS BECAUSE I WANT THE PARENTS TO COME.

I WANT THE GRANDPARENTS TO COME, AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE TO PAY TO WATCH THEIR CHILDREN GET CANDY.

SO, THROUGH Y'ALL'S HELP, ALL OF YOU HELPED US TO GET THIS DONE FOUR YEARS AGO.

WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN THIS YEAR.

WE'RE EVERYBODY'S INVITED.

PLEASE TELL EVERYBODY TO COME OUT.

WE ALSO HAVE A TROPHY, AS ALWAYS, FOR THE BEST DRESSED TRUNK.

AND I CAN'T THANK SAL AND HIS GROUP ENOUGH.

ALL OF THE GARDENS, THE GARDEN AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE, ALL OF THE GARDENS ON THE CURB.

THAT'S ALL FROM SAL AND HIS GROUP.

THAT'S NOT MY GUYS.

WE DON'T. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT.

BUT SAL GETS THAT DONE AND BEAUTIFIES THE PARK EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, MR. SAL.

THANK YOU ALL. ALSO, WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE COUNCILMAN ELECT FOR DISTRICT FIVE, HANS ROSENBERG IN CHAMBERS TODAY.

UNINCORPORATED JEFFERSON, 51 YEARS.

[00:45:03]

ADDITIONAL WORK ITEM NUMBER 40 457,398 57.

NO MONEY, NO INCREASE, JUST A LANGUAGE CHANGE IN THE CONTRACT.

ITEM NUMBER 42 $20,000 CREDIT SURPLUS OF MATERIALS NOT NEEDED.

ITEM NUMBER 43 $377,000.

CREDIT WORK PLANS REQUIRE MORE WORK THAN WAS NEEDED.

66 $412,000 INCREASE DUE TO INSPECTIONS AND DESIGN.

71 $12,650 INCREASE DUE TO ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED BY THE DOTD ITEM NUMBER 74.

ANYBODY GOT ANY COMMENTS? ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. YOU'RE MOVING TOO FAST THESE DAYS, MR. AL. WHAT'S THAT? YOU'RE MOVING TOO FAST.

FRANK HYERS, 509 HOUMA BOULEVARD.

JUST TRYING TO SPARK A LITTLE CURIOSITY.

IN A WAY, WE GOT A COUPLE LAME DUCKS UP HERE NOW, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOOD IT DOES TO ME TO POINT OUT TOO MUCH.

GOT A LOT OF MONEY GOING INTO THIS HOME REPAIR PROGRAM.

82 THROUGH 85.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF THESE THINGS DOING MORE THAN JUST MAKING SOMEBODY A DEPENDENT TO THE PARISH, DEPENDENT UPON FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS.

90. WE GOT THIS DEAL WHERE WE'RE GOING TO PURCHASE THESE ELECTRIC DIESEL HYBRIDS, $2.6 MILLION.

ANOTHER FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM.

JUST ANOTHER THEFT FROM OUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.

GOT TO FIGURE SOME OF THIS OUT.

THERE'S A LOT OF TAX EXEMPTIONS BEING TOSSED AROUND.

AS NEEDED.

ENGINEERING. WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHERE WE AS NEEDED RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY SOME TRAFFIC ENGINEERING IS ON.

WHERE SOMEBODY WAS RUN OVER LAST WEEKEND.

WE HAD TO WATCH THIS HAPPEN, BECAUSE YOU ALL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY.

NOT OFF A CLEAR VIEW, AN AIRLINE, OR NOT OFF ANYWHERE ELSE WHERE YOU'RE HIRING AS NEEDED.

ENGINEERS IN EVERY FIELD YOU CAN IMAGINE, A LOT OF THINKERS JUST CAN'T GET NOTHING DONE.

EVERYBODY'S TRAUMATIZED FROM THAT EXPERIENCE.

YOU GOT A BUS STOP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET.

CAN'T FIGURE THAT OUT.

TAMIKA JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE BUS STOP WITH A HANDFUL OF FOOD.

GOT TO GET RUN OVER BY SOMEBODY FOR NO GOOD REASON.

IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS JOSH'S FAULT.

Y'ALL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ENGINEER ANY OF THESE INTERSECTIONS, AND IT'S COSTING THE PEOPLE OF JEFFERSON PARISH DEARLY.

I'D EXPECT WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH SOME KIND OF EXECUTIVE.

DECISION ON THIS, SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION WHERE WE'RE GOING TO END UP HAVING TO SETTLE WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS.

SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT ALL THIS.

BUT NONE OF YOU CAN TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY.

NONE OF YOU CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE FAILURES OF THIS BODY, BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVEN A LEGITIMATELY FORMED BODY.

YOU MAKE DECISION AFTER DECISION HERE, SPENDING THE TAXPAYER'S MONEY AT WILL.

YOU GOT TO FIGURE IT OUT.

MORE I. OKAY.

NOW I WANT TO DIRECT THIS TO FLETCHER MACKEL WITH CHANNEL SIX NEWS.

APPARENTLY, MR. MACKEL THINKS WHAT CONSTITUTES A MAJOR CANDIDATE RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE IS ONE WHO SELLS THEIR SOUL TO THE DEVIL.

MISTER MICHAEL, I WILL NEVER BE A MAJOR CANDIDATE AS FAR AS YOU'RE CONCERNED.

[01:15:04]

YOU'RE NOT.

YOU'RE NOTHING BUT SOMEONE FLUNKY AND A PUPPET ON A STRING.

CRAIG TOLBERT, STATE SENATOR, I INVITE YOU TO COME DOWN HERE AND TELL US WHY.

FIRST OF ALL, WE KNOW WHY LUCKY DOGS IS THE EXCLUSIVE, VENDOR ONLY VENDOR ALLOWED IN THE FRENCH QUARTER BECAUSE OF AN ORDINANCE THAT WAS APPROVED 51 YEARS AGO BEFORE YOUR TIME.

BUT NOW IS YOUR TIME.

YOUR PERMIT LICENSE EVERY YEAR IS $200.

THIS IS ACCORDING TO AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT CONCERNING YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS.

ALL THE OTHER VENDORS PAY 1500 TO 2000, BUT YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEW ORLEANS COUNCIL MAKE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE ADMINISTRATION. COULD THAT BE THE REASON WHY? THAT'S THE BUSINESS CLIMATE ALL OVER THIS AREA.

NOW, I WANT TO DIRECT THIS TO YOU, TO COUNCILMAN LEE.

AT OUR LAST COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING ON OCTOBER THE 5TH, THERE WAS AN ITEM ON OUR AGENDA WHERE $320,000 WAS COMING FROM YOUR, I BELIEVE, YOUR DISCRETIONARY FUND TO FOR IMPROVEMENT ON TOT LOTS IN THE CITY OF KENNER AND ADDING SOME AMENITIES TO SOME OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS I NEED YOU TO EITHER CONFIRM OR DENY IF THAT ITEM WOULD HAVE BEEN DEFERRED AT OUR LAST MEETING WITH THAT, $320,000 HAVE BEEN RESCINDED.

CAN YOU CONFIRM OR DENY THAT? WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN RESCINDED? YES, BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEFERRED, WE'D HAVE LOST THE MONEY? NO, YOU WOULD HAVE. THEY WOULD HAVE GOT THE MONEY.

SO WE SO WE WAS MISLED BY OUR ENTIRE COUNCIL AND OUR ADMINISTRATION IN THE CITY OF KENNER.

THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN LEE.

ANYBODY GOT ANY COMMENTS? ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. FRANK HYERS, 509 HOUMA BOULEVARD IS TRYING TO SPARK SOME CURIOSITY.

THANK YOU ALL FROM DOWN TO GRAND ISLE.

WE'RE INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THERE WERE 14 MORE VOTES FOR A DISTRICT OR DIVISION A THAN THERE WERE FOR DIVISION B.

NO OFFENSE TO MY MY COUNTERPARTS IN DIVISION B, BUT I GOT 14 VOTES FROM GRAND ISLE.

THAT WAS FUN. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I GOT TO MEET PEOPLE EVERYWHERE AND FIGURE OUT WHERE WE STAND AS A PARISH AND HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THE PARISH.

PARISH PRESIDENT, SHERIFF, TAX ASSESSOR.

NOW WHAT WILL BE BOTH THE KING AND QUEEN OF OUR PROM? THE DIVISIONS A AND B AND ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FOR DISTRICT FIVE.

ALL LIVING IN DISTRICT FIVE.

SIX OUT OF TEN GOVERNING OFFICIALS LIVING IN DISTRICT FIVE, THE ONLY COMMUNITY THAT SERVES ITSELF AND NO OTHER COMMUNITY.

ALL METAIRIE THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTICIPATE.

THAT'S WHO RUNS THIS COUNTRY.

WE DON'T HAVE A GOVERNMENT OF THE MAJORITY.

IN FACT, IN THIS IN THIS PARTICULAR FRAME OF GOVERNMENT, WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT SPECIFICALLY OF THE MINORITY AND NOT THE MINORITY IS IN THE WAY THAT PEOPLE THINK OF IT. BUT THE MINORITY OF THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE MINORITY OF DISTRICTS AND BODY SEATS THAT ARE HELD.

IT ONLY TAKES FOUR TO MAKE A MAJORITY HERE, AND TWO DISTRICTS WILL ALWAYS HAVE FOUR.

THE ANTITHETICAL TO THE CONSTITUTION.

EVERY ONE OF YOU SWORN TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND.

SO IT'S NO SURPRISE WHEN YOU BEHAVE LIKE A JUDICATOR.

SO NOW WE'VE GOT ANOTHER JUDGE ON THE BENCH OF A MALFORMED COURT WITH TWO CHIEF JUSTICES.

IT'S LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL PROM IN HERE.

AND OFTENTIMES BEHAVES AS SUCH WITH REGARDS TO THE CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY TREATED AS LITIGANTS AT BEST, DEFENDANTS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

YOU ALL HAVE AN OBLIGATION.

THERE'S A LAME DUCK SITUATION RIGHT HERE.

TWO OF YOU ARE LEAVING.

YOU COULD DO SOMETHING BETTER BY YOURSELF.

IT'S YOUR LEGACY, NOT MINE.

ON THE STAKE HERE.

EVERY ONE OF YOU.

NOW, WE GOT TWO OF YOU.

AT LEAST TERM LIMITED. 3 OR 4, YOU TERM LIMITED.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TO HOPSCOTCH NEXT.

THE CHAIRMAN ASSURED EVERYBODY HE'S GOING TO BOW OUT AFTER THIS, SO I EXPECT HE'S NOT GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE ANY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

MAYBE HE'LL DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ACTUALLY FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND OF THE PEOPLE.

RIGHT? ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.

YOU COULD JUST WAKE UP TOMORROW AND FIGURE IT OUT, RIGHT? IT COULD HAPPEN. WE COULD REESTABLISH A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN THE PARISH NAMED FOR THOMAS JEFFERSON, WHO DEFINED WHAT IT MEANS.

FIGURE IT OUT. ANYONE ELSE?
