Motion to adopt the following resolution to hire private counsel on all matters until the current conflict with the District Attorney is resolved:

WHEREAS, the Rapides Parish District Attorney is the attorney for the Rapides Parish Police Jury by operation of law; however, the District Attorney is not able to perform that role when his office is in direct conflict with the Police Jury, particularly during litigation or under the threat litigation between the entities.

WHEREAS, the Police Jury has determined that there is a real and immediate need to hire private counsel beyond the employ of the District Attorney for the following reasons: (1) the Police Jury and the District Attorney are in a highly publicized conflict concerning budgeting and related matters; (2) during a public meeting on March 5, 2018, the District Attorney warned that this dispute may require litigation, and special counsel for the District Attorney expressly threatened litigation against the Police Jury; (3) similar threatening statements have been made by other representatives of the District Attorney’s office concerning the authority of the District Attorney to influence decisions of the Police Jury; and (4) because of the broad implications of this dispute, the Members of the Police Jury presently lack confidence in the objectivity of the District Attorney and his staff on all matters involving the Police Jury.

WHEREAS, private counsel for the Police Jury shall have substantial experience in local and state law governing the affairs of the Police Jury and shall be compensated at the same rates paid by the Attorney General for representation of his office in comparable matters.

WHEREAS, this Resolution shall be presented to the Attorney General for approval and, following approval, shall be published in the official journal of the Parish, all in accordance with La. R.S. 42:263.

NOW THEREFORE, the Rapides Parish Police Jury hereby authorizes the hiring of Jimmy R. Faircloth, Jr. (La. Bar No. 20645) and the firm of Faircloth, Melton & Sobel, LLC, at the following rates: $225.00 per hour for attorneys with 10 years of experience and $150.00 per hour for attorneys with less than 10 years of experience, who shall serve as private counsel for the Police Jury on all matters until the current conflict with the District Attorney is resolved.

Mr. Taylor Townsend and Mr. Robert Beck spoke about the opioid litigation and their experiences in litigation. Mr. Townsend stated their firm has been involved in this type litigation and they felt they could provide a unique opportunity to maximize the Police Jury’s situation at the Parish level. This case is currently pending in the Northern District of Ohio.

REGULAR MEETING

MARCH 12, 2018

Mr. Matt Johns, Rapides Area Planning Commission, stated this is completely separate from the State Uniform Construction Codes that they enforce now. This is something new. This is mainly for the urbanized areas. Most of this is going to be covered by Ball, Pineville and Alexandria. It’s a small sliver outside of that the Jury will be responsible for. It is one acre of disturbed soil. If you are building a home, you would have to be building a monstrous home to driveway, to disturb an acre of land for this to be enforced. They are expecting this to impact a 3% or less to what they are doing now.

On motion by Mr. Richard Billings, seconded by Mr. Ollie Overton, the following ordinance was presented and on vote unanimously adopted:

On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Sean McGlothlin, to adopt the following resolution to hire private counsel on all matters until the current conflict with the District Attorney is resolved:

Jury; (3) similar threatening statements have been made by other representatives of the District Attorney’s office concerning the authority of the District Attorney to influence decisions of the Police Jury; and (4) because of the broad implications of this dispute, the Members of the Police Jury presently lack confidence in the objectivity of the District Attorney and his staff on all matters involving the Police Jury.

Mr. Jimmy Faircloth stated the motion was drafted to provide for private counsel of all matters. Mr. Faircloth explained that all matters in which the DA’s Office currently represents the Police Jury on. He stated he was requested to look at the video and recording of last week’s meeting. There were comments made by the District Attorney and Mr. Hugo Holland, on the DA’s behalf that were a little broad than just the budget dispute and the $400,000. He couldn’t tell how broadly the conflict may or may not impact the Jury. The conflict of the District Attorney’s Office creates a real and immediate necessity, for the Jury to hire private counsel to get through this conflict.

Discussion ensued.

Mr. Phillip Terrell, District Attorney, stated the discussion of litigation came, you can categorize litigation, discussion as a threat, but he stated he could also characterize the motion to cut his budget by $825,000 in the same light. He stated there was absolutely no question, a letter was drafted, that he recognized there is absolutely an issue. The DA’s Office is statutorily, constitutionally mandated to provide representation to the Jury and all the public bodies that fall under it. So we have the statutory mandated obligation to do that. In fact, it would be malfeasance on our part not to do so. Ethically it is appropriate for the Jury to have representation, at least on the budgetary issue, as we said in our letter. Mr. Terrell further stated, it seemed very appropriate his legal representatives and Mr. Faircloth talk, maybe prior to moving forward anymore to determine what the correct perimeters are. Sooner rather than later so we can move on and resolve it.

Mr. Faircloth stated that the Police Jury is the legislative branch of local REGULAR MEETING MARCH 12, 2018

government and Mr. Terrell’s Office represents the executive branch. Mr. Faircloth stated the point he wanted the Jury to consider was he did not know the scope of the conflict. He cautioned the Jury to give him an opportunity to look at it and report back with an informed decision. He was not satisfied with Mr. Terrell’s approach of creating a Chinese Wall. Mr. Faircloth further stated, unless the Jury authorizes him to represent them in connection with all matters that the DA’s Office is handling, they can’t talk to him about it. If you grant me the authority, you are going to let me represent you on the budget conflict only, they can’t disclose to me your business that may involve things beyond that. The only way to get the information is to have your authority to actually sit down and have conversations with them about what would otherwise be attorney/client protected information. The resolution does not say we terminate the District Attorney’s Office. The DA represents you by law. This is a grant of authority to hire private counsel, based on a real needing necessity, which statutes require you define. It’s not an order saying the District Attorney’s Office does not represent you anymore. I need to be very clear about that. So that’s why it’s drafted like this.

Mr. Theodore Fountaine questioned Mr. Terrell if the letter he sent, meant he was reducing his amount by $825,000, to which Mr. Terrell stated no, he had agreed to reduce his budget, last year by $325,000 and the next meeting they were told there was $500,000 still outstanding. Mr. Kelly said he had already included that $325,000 in the budget and we are still $500,000 to the bad. So, that’s an $825,000 reduction from last year.

Mr. Fountaine stated that when he talked to Mr. Bruce Kelly, Treasurer, about the $325,000 he said he had no idea what the DA was talking about.

Mr. Terrell stated it was included in this year’s budget.

Discussion ensued.

Roll call on the motion was as follows: YEAS: Davron “Bubba” Moreau, Richard Vanderlick, Joe Bishop, Craig Smith, Theodore Fountaine, Jr., Sean McGlothlin and Scott Perry, Jr. NAYS: Oliver “Ollie” Overton and Richard Billings ABSTAINED: none ABSENT: none On roll call vote the motion carried. 7-2.

Mr. Tom Wells stated that the law provides that you can seek special counsel, but you have to get Attorney General approval before you can pay. If you pay a lawyer without an opinion, that lawyer has to pay that money back.

Discussion ensued.

On motion by Mr. Ollie Overton, seconded by Mr. Richard Vanderlick, to go into Executive Session to discuss the pending litigation “Rapides Parish Police Jury vs. Terri Hunter,” Civil Suit No. 247,937-F at 4:48 p.m.

Roll call vote to go into Executive Session was as follows: REGULAR MEETING MARCH 12, 2018

YEAS Davron “Bubba” Moreau, Richard Vanderlick, Joe Bishop, Craig Smith, Theodore Fountaine, Jr., Oliver “Ollie” Overton, Sean McGlothlin, Richard Billings, and Scott Perry, Jr. NAYS: none ABSTAINED: none ABSENT: none On roll call vote the motion carried unanimously.
