The Police Jury of the Parish of Rapides, State of Louisiana, met in Regular Session at its regular meeting place, the Police Jury Room of the Parish Courthouse, 701 Murray Street, Alexandria, Louisiana, on Monday, November 9, 2020, at three (3:00) o'clock p.m. (Central Standard Time).

There were present: Craig Smith, President, Oliver “Ollie” Overton, Jr., Vice President and Police Jurors: Davron “Bubba” Moreau, Joe Bishop, Theodore Fountaine, Jr., Rusty Wilder, Sean McGlothlin and David Johnson.

Absent: Scott Perry, Jr.

Also present were: Theresa Pacholik, Treasurer; Shane Trapp, Courthouse Building Superintendent; Sonya Wiley-Gremillion, OHSEP Director; Chief Jody Glorioso, Fire District No. 2; Cory Ashmore, Public Works Director; Greg Jones, Legal Counsel and Laurel Smith, Secretary.

The invocation was given by Mr. Theodore Fountaine.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mr. Sean McGlothlin.

The Police Jury of the Parish of Rapides, State of Louisiana, was duly convened as the governing authority of said Parish by Hon. Craig Smith, President, who welcomed all present and then stated that the Police Jury was ready for the first item of business.

The President asked if there was any public comment on any agenda item, to which there was no response.

The next item on the agenda was to recognize a representative of NRCS to discuss Federal Grant Assistance for debris removal in drainage canals and bayous.

Mr. Greg Jones, Legal Counsel, stated Mr. Matt Johns, Rapides Area Planning Commission had contacted NRCS on behalf of the Jury and he will update you.

Mr. Matt Johns stated NRCS was unable to be at the meeting today, but they do want to get a small group together.

Mr. Greg Jones stated Mr. Joe Bishop, Chairman of the Public Works and Watershed and Agricultural Affairs Committee, could form a committee on this, it is pertaining to drainage in our canals.

The next item on the agenda was to recognize a representative of Tetra Tech for an update on debris removal from Hurricane Laura.

Mr. Greg Jones, Legal Counsel, stated the GOSHEP representative advised they are going to send a letter to the Governor, that the thirty (30) day period for 100% reimbursable, let each public entity be allowed to set their own thirty (30) day period. If he approves this, it will be great for us, as well as for each other entity that might have started at different times. It is on the agenda today, but we may have to table it and call a special meeting once we get an official declaration. REGULAR MEETING NOVEMBER 9, 2020

Mr. Phil Ivey, Tetra Tech, explained their job was to monitor T.F.R., which is the contractor that the Parish hired. Mr. Ivey explained that when the trucks are coming through, they are only picking up the vegetative debris. Some of the piles are mixed with household trash, not just construction debris. FEMA is not going to allow that to be picked up in this program. Mr. Ivey further stated he really needed that information pushed out to the homeowners. It slows down the process. This type contamination cannot go in these trucks. You cannot burn it or grind it if it has household hazard waste mixed in it.

Discussion ensued.

Mr. Ivey stated they are monitoring nine (9) trucks. He asked for the Jury’s help in finding properties to use for burning sites, to keep cost down.

Mr. Joe Bishop questioned about the Paper Mill Area being able to burn, to which Mr. Greg Jones stated it probably was at one time DEQ approved.

Mr. Jones stated he has a local landowner, who has already had DOTD burns at his site and is willing to allow the Parish to burn there as well. It is a large site that DOTD and the Parish can use. The three sites we have now are only grinder approved. You rent grinders, pay laborers on the grinders, and then find somewhere to haul it if the property owner does not want it left there. It is much more costly than burning and removing the ashes.

Discussion ensued.

On motion by Mr. Joe Bishop, seconded by Mr. Ollie Overton, to table the adoption of the following motion, to increase the maximum contract amounts allowed for T.F.R. and Tetra Tech Debris Removal Contracts pursuant to President Trump’s approval of 100% FEMA reimbursement for Hurricane Laura related debris removal and authorize the President to sign any necessary documents. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Bubba Moreau, seconded by Mr. Rusty Wilder, to adopt the minutes of the Rapides Parish Police Jury held in Special Session on September 18, 2020 and September 21, 2020, as published in the Official Journal. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Ollie Overton, seconded by Mr. Bubba Moreau, to lay over the adoption of the minutes of the Rapides Parish Police Jury held in Regular Session on October 12, 2020 and October 26, 2020, as not yet published in the Official Journal. On vote the motion carried.

On motion by Mr. Rusty Wilder, seconded by Mr. David Johnson, that approved bills be paid. On vote the motion carried.

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