Regular Meeting July 25, 2022 Harrisonburg, Louisiana The Police Jury of the Parish of Catahoula, State of Louisiana, met in Regular Session at its Regular Meeting place, the Police Jury Meeting Room at the Courthouse on Monday, July 25, 2022 at 6:00 P.M. Present: President Harold Sones, Vice President Jerel Evans and Jurors Brady Nelson, Deborah McCormack, Rodney Sones, Jeffery Estes, Rickie Crumpton and Debra Hawkins and Johnnie Adams; Secretary/Treasurer Patti C. Mizell, Assistant Secretary Frankie Tolar, Sanitation Department Manager Tammie Edwards, Road Supervisor Charles Atkins and Attorney Karla McHand. Absent: None A quorum being present, the Police Jury of the Parish of Catahoula, State of Louisiana, was duly convened as the governing authority of said parish by President Harold Sones, who called upon Juror Rodney Sones for Prayer, and requested that the Jurors and the public remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance after which the following business was transacted. On motion by Rodney Sones, seconded by Jerel Evans and unanimously passed, the Jury voted to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting and adopt same as published in the Official Journal. On a motion by Rickie Crumpton, seconded by Deborah McCormack and unanimously passed, the Jury voted to approve the agenda. President Sones opened the floor for the public comment period on agenda items. There were no comments from the public on agenda items. There were no additions or deletions to Selective Maintenance. The Jury discussed moving the E911 administration office equipment to the security room. Co-Administrator Frankie Tolar advised that this has been in discussion and she would like to start this process. The recorder and the third dispatch station would be the first equipment to be moved. This will require AT&T to move lines to the security room. Further discussion was held with the Jury having no objection to this move. President Harold Sones stated that as of today there are approximately 2,090 active garbage pickup accounts. He stated there are still a few residents that do not have trash carts. Juror Johnie C. Estes asked how many are still to be delivered. Sanitation Department Manager Tammie Edward stated she just received an updated delivery list but she has not had time to update the master list. Road Supervisor Charles Atkins stated there are 350 carts left at the barn and 112 delivered carts that have to be picked up due to various errors in the beginning. Ms. Estes asked if residents are now going to be required to come to barn and pick up carts. Road Supervisor Charles Atkins stated this is in place, but if it is someone elderly or with physical problems, they would still deliver the cart. Doug Atkins, owner, Hometown Waste, stated that he understood the frustration of the new company getting started. He said it usually takes about 90 days to get going smooth. He just received the new truck for Catahoula and this will enable pick up to get better. The Jury also discussed the issue of missing road signs. He asked that missing road signs be reported to the office to be replaced. Juror Jerel Evans asked about the routes of pickup and if there would be any changes to the routes. Mr. Atkins stated there will be some changes that will help pick up become easier and take less time. He is still working out these routes and making a final map. Mr. Atkins also wanted to advise the Jury on commercial pick up such as churches. If the church has an active account and parish cart, they will be picked up, but they will need to adhere to the six extra bags in another can. He also stated that the trucks cannot lift other cans which may be filled with loose trash. Mr. Atkins stated that there may be a few elderly or handicap residents that cannot place their cart out by the road and he is willing to work with the parish and these residents, but he stated the employees cannot go up into a yard because of liability issues. The Jury and staff stated appreciation to Mr. Atkins and his company for working and addressing issues that have come up from not only a new company starting but also new trash cart delivery for residents. President Sones stated that Bubba Moreau with Moreau Auction Company had contacted him to ask about possibly selling any parish surplus property at auction. Road Supervisor Charles Atkins has made a list of possible surplus equipment. President Sones stated that there are a few issues with the proposed contract from Mr. Moreau that will need to be addressed before going forward. This will be on the next agenda. Homeland Security Director Ellis Boothe addressed the Jury. He stated that in the past, he has been able to work with FEMA/GOHSEP to come up with information on disaster projects to enable the parish to submit for public assistance funds. This is now going to require an engineer performing this work which will now include the project meeting state and federal codes. Mr. Boothe advised the Jury that the second round of the Louisiana Watershed Initiative funds is available for submission. This will be for buyout of residents on the severe repetitive loss list. The application is due by August 3rd. Mr. Boothe would like to proceed and apply for this grant. The Jury discussed this issue further and agreed. Juror Rodney Sones stated that he felt the jurors phone numbers should be included on the parish stationary. The Jury agreed to this. On a motion by Jerel Evans, seconded by Johnie C. Estes and unanimously passed, the Jury voted there being no further business to adjourn. Harold Sones, President Patti C. Mizell, Secretary Catahoula Parish Police Jury Catahoula Parish Police Jury
