The motion carried unanimously. Mayor White turned the floor over to Attorney Broussard. Attorney Broussard explained that this is the result of the emergency action that the Council took at the October 7 regular meeting regarding the properties at 1108 and 1110 Maude Avenue. The suit is to recover costs from the property owner of 1110 Maude Avenue who damaged water and sewer lines. The City paid the contractor for the repairs. Mayor White explains the city's marshal, the property owner, and the contractor had previously come to an agreement that the property owner would pay the contractor in full for the repairs. The property owner admitted responsibility but later refused to make payment. -11 introduced by Mr. Tony Hardy and seconded by Mr. Francis Plaisance to allow the City Attorney to file suit against the property owner of 1110 Maude Avenue to recover damages in the amount of $2,582.86 incurred by the City as a result of the negligence of aforementioned property owner. The motion carried unanimously. Mayor White turned the floor over to the floor over to Police Chief Mike Hardy.

Chief Hardy stated that the structure is intended to safely house gas-powered vehicles outside the main station for fire safety reasons. Mayor White noted that this expenditure will require a budget amendment at the next Council meeting as the department is currently 11% overbudget. -12 introduced by Mr. Brady Broussard and seconded by Mr. Tony Hardy to amend the 2025 budget to reflect the Police Department’s purchase of the material for a metal building in the amount of approximately $10,000.00.

PUBLIC NOTICE Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a Floodplain and Wetland To: All interested Agencies Federal, State, and Local Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that Village of Clarence, Louisiana under 24 CFR Part 58 has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and Executive Order 11990 and in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 in Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity, a drainage improvements project, is funded under the Community Development Block Grant – Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) program, funded through Round 2 of the Louisiana Office of Community Development – Disaster Recovery (LOCD-DR) Louisiana Watershed Initiative (LWI). The proposed project involves drainage improvements to two areas of the Village: the Marquetta Drive and Greenville Drive neighborhoods in the Village of Clarence in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. Portions of the project area are located in the floodplain and wetland. The proposed activities include channel modifications, roadside ditch improvements, and culvert upgrades and replacements. The Marquetta Drive area is located in the FFRMS floodplain Zone A (100-year), and the Greenville Drive area is in the FFRMS floodplain Zone AE (100-year) per FIRM 22069C0385D dated 7/19/2015. In addition, there is a 0.02-acre palustrine emergent wetland located in the northeastern segment of the Marquetta Drive area and a 0.13-acre palustrine emergent wetland located in the central portion of the Greenville Drive area. The existing natural and beneficial functions of these wetlands include floodwater storage and conveyance, groundwater recharge, water quality improvement, and habitat support. The intrinsic values of the identified wetlands include ecological integrity, natural heritage, aesthetic value, and connectivity to larger systems. Altogether, two wetlands (totaling 0.15 acres) and four streams (5,223 LF) were identified within the project area. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in the floodplain and/or wetland and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain and/or wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate project impacts on the floodplain and/or wetland. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about the floodplain and/or wetland can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplain and/or wetland, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the Village of Clarence at the following address or before January 27, 2025: The Village of Clarence, 6004 Highway 71, Clarence, LA 71414 and 318-357-0440, Attention: Marques Braxton, Mayor. More information regarding this project may also be reviewed from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM at 6004 Highway 71, Clarence, LA 71414 or requested via email sent to info@villageofclarence.org. Comments may also be submitted via email at info@villageofclarence.org. $47.00 016.25 1/10/26
