WHEREAS, the Ouachita Parish Police Jury created Lake Park Drainage District by Ordinance No. 7442 adopted June 16, 1975;
WHEREAS, the Lake Park Drainage District was created to operate and maintain the levee system that had been constructed by the developers of Lake Park Subdivision to provide flood protection for said subdivision, all of which was incorporated within the boundaries of the District;
WHEREAS, in approximately 1998, after completion of the Chauvin Pump Station, the Board of Commissioners of Lake Park Drainage District stopped levying an annual assessment against property in the District to fund maintenance of the levee system, disbanded, and turned said District’s operations over to the Ouachita Parish Police Jury;
WHEREAS, in 2001 the River Styx Pump Station was completed further improving flood control in the area encompassing the Lake Park Drainage District;
WHEREAS, in 2003 and 2004 the OPPJ conducted community meetings regarding the status of the Lake Park Drainage District and appointed a new Board of Commissioners to determine the District’s status;
