Motion approved by the following vote: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Spigener, and Shyne. 5. Nays: None. Absent: Councilman Burrell. 1.

Awards, Recognition of Distinguished Guests and Communications of the Mayor Which Are Required by Law. Mr. Antee: The Mayor is in Washington D.C. going after some federal dollars. (Councilman Serio served as Mayor Pro Tem.)

Councilman Shyne: I received a call from The Reverend Dr. Billy McCormack asking the City Council members and the Administration if they would please find time to take part in a February 19 Unity March that will be held on the Texas Street bridge at 10 o'clock. Dr. McCormack and his group has done an excellent job working to bring this City together to heal a lot of the problems that most cities of this size have problems with; so, I would like to ask my colleagues if they would please put that on their agenda and see if you can take part in that. Councilman Serio and I have discussed about the insurance waiving, what is the opinion of the City Attorney on that? Ms. Glass: Mr. Shyne you just told me about this about 5 minutes ago and I'm not really familiar with--what is your question?

Councilman Shyne: The question is, the group would like to have this Unity March. They would also like to have a police escort. What is the legal ramifications of that? Ms. Glass: I don't think there is any donation problem with it, it can probably be fit under a public purpose. This would probably more of an administrative question to address to the Administration whether that police service can be provided.

Councilman Shyne: Mr. Thompson, would you like to comment on that. Mr. Thompson: I think what they are asking is, that the insurance requirements be waived. We require insurance for any organization that wants to put on an event like this.

Councilman Serio: Prior to the meeting, I did inquire and asked the Risk Management about that and Risk Management told me that because this is not a organization, not a part of the City but is a separate organization, that they City could not provide the insurance for it so that it would have to be, the insurance would have to be provided by the organization itself and that it is a million dollar policy that has to be maintained.

Councilman Shyne: But I'm also asking could that be waived. Could the Council waive that? Ms. Glass: Mr. Shyne, I'm not sure whether that is, that insurance requirement is something that is in an ordinance. You have set a precedent of waiving provisions that are in ordinances at times. I would just have to look and find that out, if that's the situation on that.

Councilman Shyne: Could you do that for us. Could you see what we could do legally as a Council in dealing with that situation. I believe it is on the 19^th, so we do have another Council meeting before that time. And Mr. Chairman if that would be alright with you, let her bring that information back to us on the--when is the next Council meeting? Ms. Lee: The 21^st and the 22^nd. Councilman Shyne: So, the March would be before the next Council meeting. Well, could you research that information and get maybe a copy to the--well, I guess we would have to have a special Council meeting then, huh?

Councilman Serio: I think it also would then put us in a situation with the Holiday In Dixie, but not only that, but with the two parades that we have coming up for Mardi Gras if we would waive the insurance requirements for them. With my conversation with Risk Management, Risk Management was emphatic that that unless it is the City of Shreveport, itself, that it is mandatory for the City to have a million dollar policy in place. I don't think that the Council itself can waive that without putting the Council, putting the City on a line for any damages.

Councilman Shyne: And I would not disagree with you on that but I would still like to get a legal opinion on that, is that possible? Ms. Glass: I will have to, as I said, look and see if there is an ordinance on that. It may be not a legal question of whether or not you can waive it, it may be a policy question as to whether or not it ought to be waived. I guess the other legal issue that it brings up is whether you are treating those who are similarly situated alike, which is the equal protection clause. So if you waive, I think what Mr. Serio was getting at is, if you waive the insurance requirements for one group you may be in a position of having to treat other groups in the same way.

Councilman Shyne: You may and you may not. I mean after you look at the purpose of this parade in relation to the Mardi Gras parade which would extend for quite a distance and if I'm not mistaken, I believe this parade is just across the bridge, if I'm not mistaken, that this parade will be just across the bridge and you might not would subject yourself to as much legal liability. But what I would like to have would be a legal opinion. I agree with what Councilman Serio is saying, but I would still like to get a legal opinion on that. Ms. Glass: We can look into that.

Public Hearing: None.

Confirmations and/or Appointments: Motion by Councilman Shyne to appoint Charles L. Broussard, Jr. to the Electrical Board, seconded by Councilman Huckaby. Motion approved by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Spigener, and Shyne. 5. Absent: Councilman Burrell. 1.

The lease shall include a special audit provision, which authorizes the City Internal Auditor to audit the M/WBE requirements described in Paragraph "6" herein and shall require the City Internal Auditor to schedule periodic reviews and require reports to ascertain the degree of compliance and shall report its findings and conclusions to the Mayor and the Council monthly during construction and quarterly during the operation of the venture."

Councilman Huckaby: I sponsored this amendment. I believe that it is in keeping with the Mayor's Fair Share Program and also with the Council's desire to bring about economic inclusion in the city, but it goes a bit further than that. It adds a provision that will afford the Council and the Mayor a continuing review of the progress made on minority participation in this venture. I believe that if we add this kind of an amendment to the legislation it will prevent what we've seen happen in the last week or so with the Hollywood Casino. We won't be pushed to see what's going on in terms of minority inclusion, half way or at the end of a project, but we will know from its inception all the way to its conclusion what the minority participation has been. I ask my colleagues to join with me for voting for this amendment.

Councilman Shyne: Mr. Huckaby I appreciate the amendment. It was well thought out. I've noticed in the news media over the last few months, any time you are talking about economic inclusion where minorities are involved, it seems like the last paragraph, it always refer to---if it doesn't come out and say it, it infers that if you include minorities, some kind of way the quality of the work is going to be diminished. To me, that doesn't do anything-'cause it might sell newspapers now, let me take that back, it might sell newspaper or it might run up the ratings of your t. v. or radio station--but to me, what it does, it 'causes a lot of confusion within our community.

I think I have always made the statement to the Administration and to my colleagues here on the Council that, I want to see people with an impeccable work record involved in anything. It doesn't matter to me whether they white, black, blue, yellow or green or whatever it might be. When you look at the pyramids, the pyramids have stood for hundreds of years and even thousands of years and I don't believe that the pyramids were built by Northern Europeans. When you look at the great wall of China, the Great Wall of China has stood for hundreds of years and the Great Wall was not built by Northern Europeans.

To me, the lack of quality of quality--anyone could be guilty of not having quality, anyone could be complimented for having quality, so I would wish that in the upcoming months and days and years that our news media would not bring up the point or would not push out the point that if we include minorities, for some kind of reason it is going to diminish the quality of work because it will not do that. If you looked at the Super Bowl, if you looked at the NFL, twenty years ago, you wouldn't have seen a black quarterback. It would have been said, well they really don't have ability to quarterback a team in the Super Bowl. So, I think we need to get away from pushing the point that if we include minorities, that we will diminish the quality of work. I've always fought for minorities to be included in the economic pie, but I've always brought this point out. We want no welfare. We want to make sure that we bring the best and the brightest not only for minorities, but for the majority too. You want to make sure if you are going to get a white contractor, you want to make sure that this white contractor is going to be the best that you can find. If you going to get a female contractor, you want to make sure that this female contractor is the best. If you get a black contractor, you want to make sure that this black contractor is the best. We've never advocated that you just bring somebody to the table because they are a female or because they are black. We want you to always bring the best. And it kind of bothers me when I see where the Hollywood Project that is going on now, has not been able to meet those goals. And I don't know and it seems like they are saying well, if we do, we are not going to have the quality of work; to me, that is not right. And I would hope that the Council would, all of my colleagues on the Council would work with us and making sure that everybody, everybody has the tendency to enjoy the fruits of this community because we live in one of the best communities that you can find anywhere in America, but we have to make it good, we have to continue to make it good; so, Councilman Huckaby, I appreciate the amendment that you brought to the Council and I know that the Council is going to do everything in their power to make sure that this comes to fruition.

1. ZONING APPEAL: C-11-00, MAC MOS INVESTMENT CO., 9300 Normandie Dr., MPC and PBG approval in a B-2 District, used car sales. (E/Spigener)

Motion by Councilman Spigener, seconded by Councilman Shyne to overturn the MPC's decision for their application, thereby approving the applicant's request for the MPC approval in a B-2 Neighborhood Business District, to allow used car sales, subject to the following stipulations:

• Development to be in substantial accord with submitted site plan with any additions or expansion to require review and approval of the Planning Commission.

2. The required hard surfacing of the area used for display of cars for sale is waived for a two (2) year period. If the area used for display of vehicles is not hard surfaced within two (2) years of City Council approval, the approval for used car sales shall become null and void.

There was some discussion about allowing gravel for their display area. We are giving them a 2 year period and if they continue to be in that location, then they will be required to hard surface.

Motion approved by the following vote: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 6. Nays: None.

2. BAC-5-00, CENTENARY COLLEGE OF LA, 2911 Centenary Blvd., Special Exception Use in an R-1H, R-2, R-2-E, B-1 and B-2 District, college and university (with parking plan). (B/Stewart)

Motion by Councilman Stewart, seconded by Councilman Burrell to approve the Zoning Board of Appeals decision that it be upheld without change.

This is an issue that obviously is extremely important to the educational environment of our community as well as Centenary College. This recommendation and request for your support as well as those listening, is clearly tied to the importance of Centenary's development over the coming years. Particularly, the focus of this recommendation to you and this vote comes with the direction and assistance of Mr. Kirkland and the effort is focused on assisting Centenary in achieving their very ambitious growth plan. We do have an appeal in front of us. The appellant has indicted to me that they may well file suit in this instance which is certainly their right and I encourage that if that is their wishes based on a review of the information. 2. The applicant, Centenary, has demonstrated a significant focus and tremendous effort in bringing about change in their expansion and in their commitment to this community which is deemed to be at least in the order of $70 million dollars in the coming years. The comprehensive decision is the real issue here and their has been a significant amount of conversation and allegations by those who have questioned the wisdom. My belief is that with the recommendation of Mr. Kirkland, we have a representative of Centenary here and I would request the two of them meet with me afterwards so that we can focus, puts us in a position that one year from now, we will return and revisit their progress and assist them in a 3-budget year plan to achieve their goals. The reason I asked for the meeting afterwards is so that we have a clear explanation so that Centenary understands the wisdom behind the recommendation of Mr. Kirkland and the group. I have every reason to believe that their commitment to bring their campus within conformity of the recommendations of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, the ZBA and the future of Shreveport are present in their directions. While this may sound uniquely short in terms of a motion and may not be as clear to some and I believe it on examination without question dictates the most prudent way to allow Centenary to demonstrate their true commitment that we move forward with maximum speed and a minimum amount of asides to achieve their growth. I would encourage your support of this motion.

Motion approved by the following vote: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 6. Nays: None.

REPORTS FROM OFFICERS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES. None.

CLERK'S REPORT. None.
