Mr. Wells emphasized that the millage is not a new tax, but rather a renewal of an existing tax. Ms. Hyde explained that the millage also supports the health inspectors who ensure restaurants and food establishments maintain proper health and sanitation standards. Mrs. Cieutat expressed that, although the millage was voted down last month, resi- dents are still paying the existing tax; therefore, it is not a new tax but a renewal. Mr. Ingraffia asked Mr. Thomas about a potential subdivision development in Loranger that includes a canal running through the property. He noted the area is not currently located in a drainage district and inquired whether grant funding may be available to assist with cleaning the canal. Mr. Havis further discussed the issue of undistricted drainage areas and asked whether the parish could engage ELOS to develop a scope of work to explore options moving forward. He requested that Mr. Cascio, Legal Counsel, identify the process for creating a parish-wide drainage district, expanding Gravity Drainage District No. 1, or creating a new drainage district in the area, including the pros and cons of each option. Mr. Cascio stated that any of the three options would require approval through a vote of the people. Mr. Havis requested that the Chair to create a committee to further review the matter. Mr. Cascio suggested conducting public meetings to determine which areas would support the additional millage and which areas would not. Mr. Kiley Bates, Administrator for Gravity Drainage District No 1, asked for clarifica- tion regarding the process for establishing drainage district boundaries, specifically whether the boundaries are set by the State Legislature or through an ordinance. He stated that this is an issue frequently raised during planning meetings and should be addressed and presented to the voters. The Chair created a Drainage Committee consisting of: Kiley Bates, Joe Havis, Darrell Sinagra, John Ingraffia, Tracie Schillace, Missy Cowart or her designee. ADJOURN With no further discussion, Motion by Mr. Vial to adjourn the meeting. No opposition.

STATE PROJECT NO: H.014774 (322) PORT IM- PROVEMENTS TO: Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District Port Improvements West Side Dock Expansion H.014774 (322) LOCATED IN: St. Mary Parish, Louisiana TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION: HEAVY CONSTRUCTION The Port of Morgan City’s Western Dock Expansion in total will consist of 2.88 acres of concrete laydown and transit area and 447 ft x 80 ft of pile supported concrete wharf. The proposed wharf will be supported by 18” precast concrete piles and precast concrete capsills. The wharf deck will be constructed with steel rebar reinforced cast in place structural concrete at 22” thick. A timber fendering system composed of 12” treated timber piles, 12”x12” treated timber whalers, and galvanized hardware. An approximately 900 ft cantilevered steel sheet pile bulkhead will be installed along the Northern edge of the proposed Wharf and will delineate between the Wharf and proposed concrete laydown area. The existing ground below the laydown area will require soil improvements in order to handle the anticipated traffic, equipment, and storage loadings. These im- provements will consist of a deep soil mixing program below the entire laydown area footprint to Elevation -70.0 to strengthen the existing in situ soils. Once im- proved, additional granular material (river sand) will be hauled and compacted in to raise the existing ground approximately 4-5 feet. 12” of Limestone base course will then be installed as the final layer to support the 16” steel rebar reinforced cast in place concrete for the laydown/transit area. Subsurface gravity drainage is to be installed just North of the proposed bulkhead to drain the paved areas, as well as between the existing federal flood protection and edge of the laydown area. The gravity drainage system will consist of approximately 1700 ft of precast concrete drainpipe and 16 precast concrete catch basins. Finally, 2 steel pump station outfall pipes will be extended through the proposed bulkhead. Each extension is approximately 150 ft. This will allow for the existing pump station to discharge into Bayou Boeuf. CONTRACTING AGENCY: Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District 7327 Highway 182, Morgan City, Louisiana 70380 P.O.
