TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2009 TOWN HALL COUNCIL ROOM CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Mayor Vern Breland called the meeting to order. A quorum was present and acting. Aldermen present: Jayne Bullock, Ron Hill, Ladd Williams, and Bonnie Dilmore. Cliff Bullock arrived after the meeting had begun. INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chief Bonner gave the invocation and led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. GUESTS Attending the meeting were Bonnie with the North Ouachita Weekly Newspaper, Mr. and Mrs. Caesar Velasquez, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Bonner, Rev. Judy Bazer, Melissa Breland, Miranda Russ, and Ronnie Malone. Town personnel in attendance were Tom Holtzclaw, Katy Balsamo, Barry Bonner, and Marilyn Dilmore. AGENDA MODIFICATIONS M/S/C (Ladd Williams, Ron Hill) to add to the agenda Safe Routes to School Phase III Resolution. REPORTS ROAD CONSTRUCTION Tom Holtzclaw handed the Aldermen a packet he prepared. Mr. Holtzclaw stated the first is three proposals of street repairs as indicated. Asphalt Maintenance and Construction Company gave the lowest bid for Church Street at $18,600. We had other streets looked at also and Diamond B gave the bases for that, 136 tons and 20 tons for patching. Asphalt Construction gave the lowest price. Mr. Holtzclaw talked to Don Harrison with the Parish, because he wants to make sure as we go into this, that we are conforming with our agreement with the Parish on the one cent sales tax. He wants to check on how the Parish calculates how their streets come up on the waiting list. He feels we should adhere to some kind of an objective of which streets get paved first. He wants to look at the Parish’s formula, which has worked well in the past, and it is something we could conform to by just using our road data and putting it into their road formula. He wants to get with Don Harrison to make sure we do it right and don’t risk getting the tax taken away. Alderman Williams asked since there was a big difference in one of the bids could we get references of jobs they have done for other municipalities? Mr. Holtzclaw answered yes. The second packet set Mr. Holtzclaw gave the Aldermen has to do with sidewalks. He states we are in the process of developing Phase III of the Safe Routes to School grant. This is not due until March 2nd, but he needs a resolution of support from the Town and the Sterlington Chamber of Commerce. There is a map of how everything ties together. The pink is Phase I, which the design is completed. John Talley the surveyor is preparing some right-of-way plats that are needed to complete this phase. Phase II the design is well underway and that will be submitted in a couple of months. Phase III is this application and it will finish all the sidewalks in the village. This application will cover Ronaldson, Gilford, Rogers, Ford, Phillips, and a portion of Old Sterlington Road. The estimated price right now is $193,215 that is inclusive to the non-infrastructure. WASTEWATER LOAN The next item is a pre-application to the Louisiana State Department of Environmental Quality. They have some low interest money and low interest loans available. This will be used for our wastewater treatment plant if a low interest loan is needed. M/S/C (MOVED, SECONDED, AND CARRIED) (Ron Hill, Ladd Williams) to submit the loan application for the state revolving loan fund for our wastewater treatment facilities. COMMUNITY AFFAIRS Alderman Williams stated tentatively a Chamber Meeting is set for March 20th at 11:45 a.m. at Frenchman’s Bend. He also reported the Great American Clean-up is Saturday March 7th at 8 a.m. at the Town Hall. UNFINISHED BUSINESS EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS Caesar Velasquez mentioned that he and Jerre Hurst have not been able to get together yet. ORDINANCE TO DEANNEX HIGHWAY 553 Town Attorney Katy Balsamo did not get the meeting advertised to adopt the ordinance and she requested we put it on the next meeting date. NEW BUSINESS HIGHWAY 165 SPEED LIMITS Alderman Williams stated he has been approached about lowering the speed limit on Highway 165 around Lonewa Road. Several residents of Thatcher Plantation has complained about that area being so busy since the new businesses have opened up. Mayor Breland stated he will send a request for a speed review to DOTD next week. CENSUS RESOLUTION M/S/C (Ladd Williams, Bonnie Dilmore) to authorize the Mayor to act on behalf of the Town in support of the 2010 Census Partnership Resolution. POLICE UNITS FOR POLICE DEPT. Chief Bonner gave the Aldermen a copy of a picture along with a state contract pricing sheet on a Dodge Charger equipped with everything except laptops for $31,201.32. Chief Bonner stated Mayor Breland attended a Police Jury meeting and freed up some of the Town’s funds. Mayor Breland stated the Police Jury agreed to the sidewalk projects being a part of the road and drainage. Since we can use the road and drainage funds for the sidewalk project, which is reimbursable funding, then the funds we had set aside for this can be used to purchase two police units. M/S/C (Ladd Williams, Bonnie Dilmore) to table discussion with a request for Chief Bonner to get comparatives from other police departments on how many miles are on their units and maybe repair costs. Bruce Bonner mentioned that we have to remember some of these departments have their own maintenance department and are only charged for the price of parts. SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PHASE III RESOLUTION M/S/C (Ron Hill, Ladd Williams) to approve the Resolution supporting the Safe Routes to School Phase III application. INVITATION FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION There was no discussion. MONTHLY EXPENDITURES M/S/C (Cliff Bullock, Ladd Williams) to approve the monthly expenditures as printed ADJOURN There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned, M/S/C (Ladd Williams, Jayne Bullock,).
