COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY OF SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA NOVEMBER 14, 2000 The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Shreveport, State of Louisiana, was called to order by Chairman Patricia Spigener at 3:15 p.m.,Tuesday, November 14, 2000, in the Government Chambers in Government Plaza (505 Travis Street).
Invocation was given by Dr. Billy McCormack, Pastor of the University Baptist Church and Headmaster at University Christian Academy. On roll call, the following members were Present: Councilman Huckaby (arrived at 3:25), Stewart, Carmody, Serio , Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 7. Absent: None. Motion by Councilman Shyne, seconded by Councilman Stewart for approval of the Summary Minutes of the Administrative Conference of October 23, 2000, the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of October 24, 2000 and the Agenda As Amended on November 13, 2000. Motion approved by the following vote: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Serio, Shyne, Spigener, and Burrell. 7. Nays: None. Awards, Recognition of Distinguished Guests and Communications of the Mayor Which Are Required by Law. Councilman Shyne: I've invited Dr. Billy McCormack to come down and share a few words with us, and I'm proud to call Dr. McCormack, my friend. Dr. McCormack was involved in an experience which I consider to be, history-making and especially history-making for someone from the city of Shreveport. Dr. McCormack: It is a pleasure always to come and be with you. And let me express my deep gratitude for the sacrifices that you all make on behalf of our city. Because you have served us well and we are extremely grateful. Some time back I was informed that Minister Louis Farrakan had made a (inaudible) in his rhetoric. And inquiring I found that what he thought to be, he was dying of prostate cancer of the (inaudible) and during that time he said that Jesus came to him and said that he should change his rhetoric from hatred to love and reconciliation of all races and religions. And then I begin to read his writings and they bore out his comments in that regard. I felt that it would be good for someone to come to him, go to him and say, that we are grateful to learn of this change. And some people are interested in my going to Washington where I attended the Million Family March and they sat me on the front row in that big place there on the Capitol steps and then when Minister Farrakan came out, he made way for me to come over and I did and I said: Mr. Farrakan, I'm from Louisiana and I understand that you have now an agenda that embraces all races and religions and I want to tell you that I have come to encourage you in this regard and to offer my prayers for you and your carrying out love and reconciliation. He pulled me to himself and hugged me tight and looked me in the face, hugged me again and two guys who had been probably pulled apart had a bonding of some sort at that point. On Monday next, he invited me to Chicago where he held a 2 and ½ hour news conference, if you can believe 2 ½ hours. He can speak 2 ½ hours and hold your attention quite well. They sat me on the front row of his headquartered building and he apologized to the television and everyone for the inflammatory remarks that he had made over the years andreiterated his desire to love and respect all races and religions. Again I had an opportunity then to embrace him and to express gratitude for his new agenda. While we are not probably agreeing in doctrine and the gospels we preach, nevertheless, what I thought that this man having the ear of so many people who follow him quite readily and how he has the ear of others who sympathize with him, and now with an agenda like he has, I thought it was good for someone to say, we support this agenda and he received it very, very well. So, as a member of the Greater Shreveport Human Relations Commission and as the Chairman of the Human Rights Conference that is coming up here on the 5th of December, I wanted to show our community that we need to come together as a people and allow the healing and the love of God to bring us together to overcome all the differences that we have otherwise and pull together and make this City a great place in which to live for every one. And I would like to invite all of you, and of course everyone listening, to this Human Rights Conference that I'll be chairing at Sheraton Hotel beginning on the 5th, 8 o'clock on the 5th of December. So, I appreciate, Mr. Shyne, your invitation and Madame Chairman, your willingness to allow me this moment just to share something with you that has some potential for good and I pray that it will have great potential for a long time to come. Councilman Shyne: Brother Billy, I want to express a sincere desire of gratitude and I hope I speak on behalf of the City Council and the City of Shreveport for the journey that you took to Washington D. C. and to Chicago with love and in the mode of bridge building. I think we need to do a whole lot more of this. If we would do more bridge building, this would be a better country and God would smile on us and he has blessed us and I think that we would receive a whole lot more blessings. So, I am extremely proud of you and I'm extremely proud to call you my friend, and I thank you again for what you have accomplished. Councilman Burrell: I have several guests that the Mayor and I have discussed and he invited them and I sent them correspondence out to invite this group, at his request, and this is for the Caddo Parish School Board. I have some persons here: Dr. Schiller, who is our Superintendent, Ms. Lena Livingston, and a group of lovely lobbyists that went to Boston to learn more about entrepreneurship They are celebrating, this week, Entrepreneurship Week in Caddo Parish and these ladies went to Boston to Washley College, which is where they have an institute for entrepreneurship and took some graduate level courses to bring back to the City to work with many of our teachers. Ms. Lena Livingston I see over there, Lena who is Supervisor in the Vocational Education also came down and having her head boss here, Dr. Schiller, we really appreciate you coming down because we feel that this is a very, very important area of interest, matching vocational education with the entrepreneurship education. At this time I would like to read a proclamation that the Mayor is presenting and I would like all of them to come up and I will read the proclamation. On behalf of the city of Shreveport and the Mayor, I'd like to present you this plaque. Dr. Schiller: We have a board meeting coming up in about an hour and I would like to, at that time, be able to present it to the Board from the Council. We thank you on behalf of these wonderful folks for all they do and for your recognition; thank you so very much. Public Hearing: 2001 Budget Appropriation Ordinances. The Chairman declared the hearing open and asked for a Presentation from theAdministration; there was none. The Chairman called for persons to speak in Favor of the proposed Ordinances and the persons addressed the Council. 1. Gloria Gibson ([home] 1405 Cross Lake Circle; [office] 4005 Lakeshore Drive, Shreveport): I would like to say a pleasant good afternoon to each and every one of you. I am Gloria Gibson, Executive Director for the Theater of Performing Arts here in Shreveport. We are celebrating our 25th Anniversary here in the Shreveport area and I just want to say to the Council and the City of Shreveport, to thank you for all of your support for the last 25 years in supporting us through facilitation and through funds. We did submit a proposal to the city and we would just like to see if it is possible that some sort of amendment could take place with your proposal for what we have planned for the community, in particular, our target areas. We just received a call from the Allendale area wanting us to come in and do some programs, but because of the funding, it is just a little impossible to do this now. We are trying to do what we can do. We do receive a small appropriation from the State on the hotel-motel tax and we are trying to work with the various communities with this. But if it is possible, if you could see, some sort of amendment could be made to our proposal. I'm sure you have the information on what has been proposed to us, but if another $20,000 could be added to that, that would help us tremendously in carrying out our programs for the Year 2000-2001. We do work in the communities for developing cultural activities and one of the things, to the City Council and to the Mayor, when people visit our City and any other City across this nation, the first thing they are concerned about is what do we have to offer our visitors culturally and secondly, what do we have to offer them to maintain a good standard of living and we are trying to do this. We been trying to do this for the 25 years in promoting cultural awareness in this community and we just hope that you will be able to find some way, if it is possibly. Like I asked my husband this morning about purchasing me a coat and he said, I'll look into it. So, I hope that you will look into this situation in trying to find some way of how we can maintain our funding continuing this year as well as for Year 2001. 2. Vince Taglavore (204 East Wilkinson Street): I been in the Highland Area since 1955 and want to thank the Council members for this appropriations meeting for the budget. My reason for being here today is to compliment and thank you Council members, Mayor Hightower, all of the parties involved with doing what they are doing in the Highland area. I would like to ask at this time that some consideration be given further for the budgeting, for additional work for concrete work to be done such as broken concrete driveways, sidewalks, as well as tree work where the root system get into the sidewalks and break them up and make them almost impassable. I realize the property owner is responsible for the sidewalks as well as the driveway and the root system or whatever. But, I do thank you again for the work that you have done in the Highland area spending monies from other sources to take care of the problems whereas so many times the property owner can not afford to do that. All you need to do is drive through and you'll see the tremendous improvement that your Department of Public Works have done with the help of you folks. But all I'm asking that we continue to pool money into the coffers to continue that work and don't let it fall flat of its face. 3. Sue Ball, President of Highland Restoration Association and I am here representing the members of that Association: First, I'd like to thank the employees of the Operations Department. We call and ask for an awful lot all year long. We are always treated with courtesy and with consideration and wherever possible are requests are met. And we support the budget amounts that this Department is requesting for 2001 in the areas of construction, of maintenance, and we need very much to have our traffic system upgraded. We are one of the oldest neighbors in town and like the older neighbors, our infrastructure is crumbling, breaking, leaking, seeping, whatever and it is going to take an awful lot to bring up where it should be. We realize it can not be done in one year, but we would ask that you support this Department's request so that a beginning might be made. We also want to thank the employees of SPAR. They have always supported our beautification efforts and it helped us wherever possible and I understand they have one of the largest budgets and I would ask you to support their request as well. And while I'm here, I'm not going to leave anybody out, we expect a lot of our Code Enforcement Section of Community Development. It probably gets a great deal of criticism and whether or not that is justified, I don't know. I do know they have a tremendous task and I understand they are asking an increase in their 2001 budget and I would ask you to carefully consider that in view of the number of vacant lots that need mowing at least three times a year, of all the legal work that must be done in connection with their performance of their duties, and thank you very much for hearing me. 4. Mark Marak (P. O. Box 44292, Shreveport, Louisiana 71134), I'm Executive Director of the Highland Area Partnership: I'm here to thank the Mayor and the City Council for continued support of the Highland Area Partnership since 1992 and that support has been in the form of funds for our operation and certainly the support through the Public Works Department and all the City departments. Every time we call which, is quite a bit, every time we write which is quite a bit, we get a very good response from all department heads and I would like to express my thanks. Right now, Highland Area Partnership is doing quite a bit promotion, we've done some billboards and public service announcements, little one page ads in the Real Estate Books that you pick up at the grocery store and we are doing more, we have a web page and we are trying to sell Highland just like the Mayor and the City is trying to sell the city as a whole. We are telling people, come to Highland, re-invest, buy a house, buy rental property do whatever, take on one of these older houses and it has been successful to a large extent. We get a lot of calls from this advertisement. We also get a lot of calls from the citizens to say, I sure could use a pothole fixed or a sidewalk repaired or a street overlay, what can you do about it. We always write a letter to the Public Works Department, Jim Holt in particular. Jim is a miracle worker with what he is working with in terms of a budget. He gets on it right away. Gives us an answer about what he is going to do with it and whether there is any money, if it may be-the answer may be that it is six to eight months before they can get to it because of the funding that is available, but that's good, that's at least some hope. I know there is a lot of need. Jim tells me there is over $1 million dollars in sidewalk repairs that need to be done in just the Highland Area, city wide that's got to be just an astronomical number. But we know from the calls that we get and the responses after we have had something worked on, people are just amazed. Pot hole fixed, sidewalk repaired, the response, it is a realcrowd pleaser and if we can continue that work, embellish it through whatever it takes, in house crews, contracting out, telling you, just from what we, we communicate with about 10,000 people from Highland through a quarterly newsletter that goes out to 3,500 addresses and we get, second to issue of crime, the Public Works issue is way up there. We get calls on Public Works, just daily and we'd love to see some more done in this area. We would work to work with the other neighborhoods to do a city wide bond issue on things like sidewalks and overlay and people can go out in the morning and pick up that newspaper and look at that sidewalk that was fixed last week, I mean, they just remember it all year along. And it is amazing, I think if you are trying to sell the area, you can't be in a car going down the street hitting potholes and say, well this is an old neighborhood, but it has got a lot of charm. When people hit those two or three potholes, they say, I don't think so, maybe I'll find something in the suburb and it'll help the real estate people sell Highland. And it would help us sell Highland and we just wish we had all the money in the world to do this. I know every neighborhood has the same needs, particularly the old neighborhoods and we want the money be increased city wide, not just for Highland but since, that's our turf, we are concerned about Highland. Councilman Shyne: I think you all have made some excellent points and I'm really stating this to my colleagues on the Council. You will have a budget amendment that will be coming up where, I hope that you all will support, it will be putting an additional $800,000 dollars into our Street Program and it is maybe about $110,000 for each district because we can not afford to let our infrastructure go to pot. And I appreciate you all coming up saying that, because I hear that all the time: Joe, when are you all going to do something for these streets that we have in our neighborhoods and we have to do something for them if we are going to keep people living in these neighborhoods. Because you are exactly right, and you all hear me say this on the Council and I've been told in community meetings: If you don't fix my streets, I'm going to move somewhere else. We can not afford to continue to lose population here in the City of Shreveport; so I would ask you all to please look favorable on this amendment. Councilman Huckaby: To the gentleman who spoke from the Highland Area, sir I want you to know that I'm aware of the problems that you have in the Highland Area. I came up and visited with some of your neighbors. We are doing what we can in the area with the resources that we have. Some of the problems that you have are such magnitude that it would require a bond issue before we can fix all of your problems, particularly with the drainage problems and some of the streets problems. But if you will submit to me a list of the sidewalks that you want to be repaired, I'll do the best that I can to repair some of them. The Chairman called for persons to speak in Opposition to the proposed Ordinances; no one came forward to be heard, and the hearing was closed. The Chairman called a Public Hearing on the DDA's 2001 budget and the public hearing will be held on November 28, 2000.

Motion by Councilman Carmody, seconded by Councilman Shyne for adoption of Amendment No. 1A. Amendment 1A passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Serio, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 7. Nays: None. b) Said lease agreement shall be amended to provide that in addition to the fees and payments provided for in Article III, in years one through five the lessee shall also pay to the Authority a percentage fee equal to one percent (1%) of the gross revenues received by Lessee. Mr. Thompson: Right now in the contract if provides for about a $50,000 fee. In Years 1 through 5 there is no percentage fee involved, but Mr. Huckaby's amendmentwould make that one percent in 1 through 5 and then it would pick up in Year 6 through the end of the contract, at the ten percent that you presently have in the contract. Councilman Burrell: The $50,000 that we are referring to, is it the $50,000 that we are getting at this juncture, already? It is my understanding that we are already receiving $50,000 from an existing contract that we have with Fed Ex. Is this basically the same $50,000 or are we talking about an additional $50,000? Mr. Thompson: I can't answer that question, somebody from the Administration or the Airport Authority would have to. Mr. Miller: We currently receive rent from Fed Ex for the existing facility and the amount, I'd have to look in my notes, $50,000 is the land rental to be paid by Hasco for the 10 acres, approximately, it will be a little more or less than $50,000 based on acreage at $. 12 square foot. That is the rental that Hasco will pay for the land to build the facilities, unrelated to the Federal Express, assuming they are the customer rental. During Years 1 through 5, Hasco will guarantee Federal Express rentals if Federal Express moves; so we would have a net gain then of land rentals which is approximately $50,000 per year. Councilman Burrell: You said a lot to say, what? Mr. Miller: I'm sorry, sir? Councilman Burrell: You said a lot to say, what? Are we going to have, is this an additional $50,000 for the first five years or is it the same $50,000 that we have existing now in the contract with Fed Ex but Fed Ex is just going to move over to Hasco? Mr. Miller: I'm not familiar with this amendment at all. What I am saying is that the lease that we are proposing to sign, will add an additional $50,000 above and beyond any revenues the Airport currently receives as a result of this land lease to Hasco. Councilman Burrell: Will you continue to receive the $50,000 that you are receiving now with your contract with Fed Ex, do you know that? Mr. Miller: We will not receive it if Fed Ex moves, we won't receive it for Fed Ex, however, we will receive it from Hasco. They will guarantee the Fed Ex rental during Years 1 through 5. Councilman Burrell: And in addition to that $50,000, there will be $50,000 land rental fee so we got a $100,000 that we are dealing with rather than $50,000? Mayor Hightower: Correct. Councilman Burrell: Or am I not understanding that correctly? Is that correct Mr. Mayor? Mayor Hightower: What will happen Roy, is if Fed Ex moves out and we suspect that they will, Hasco will continue to pay Fed Ex's rent in the old building and the caveat that we get with this is that Hasco doesn't want to pay that $50,000 a year so we have in essence hired an Economic Development recruiter to go out and find us another tenant, at $50,000 a year, to go into the old Fed Ex space, so we should net an additional $50,000 for the first five years above and beyond what we currently receive and have an additional tenant at the Airport that we've never had in the past and if they can't find somebody, they'll pay the $50,000. Councilman Burrell: That's what I'm trying to get at. This is just a translucent type of transaction or is it something that we are actually building upon, building upon existing $50,000 that we have? Mr. Miller: Well, I think one of the confusions is, Fed Ex's rent is not $50,000. Fed Ex's rent is $70,375. Hasco will guarantee that. We will not lose that money. We will continue to generate Federal Express income. In addition, Hasco will pay us the land rental of $50,000.Councilman Burrell: I think that is clear. Councilman Spigener: Will you read the amendment again, please. Mr. Thompson: But in addition to what's in the lease now, the payments that the City will receive, if Mr.Huckaby's amendment passes, there will be an additional one percent that will be paid Years 1 through 5. Councilman Spigener: One percent of what? Mr. Thompson: Of the gross revenues. Councilman Spigener: The land lease and the rental on the building? Mr. Thompson: There will be the $50,000 or whatever the land lease is, plus an additional one percent of the gross revenues in Years 1 through 5. In the lease currently, it provides for the, in Years 6 through the termination of the lease, it provides for the $50,000 plus ten percent. So this will be one percent in Years 1 through 5 and then the ten percent will pick up after that. Councilman Burrell: And that excludes the $50,000 we are already getting from the existing location, as a point of clarification. Councilman Shyne: Seventy thousand. Mr. Thompson: I did not see that in the contract Mr. Burrell, I can't speak to that. Councilman Spigener: Mr. Mayor, can you give us any explanation? Mayor Hightower: I'm hearing it the same time you are. I guess you are asking for an additional one percent on the $70,000 rent? Councilman Spigener: That's what I'm trying to find out what the one percent is going to be based on. Mr. Antee: I may be able to help. The question that Councilman Roy Burrell was asking was, whether or not we would lose the rent that Fed Express is paying now. The answer to that is, no. It is a net new $50,000 for the land rent. Then the amendment that Councilman Huckaby is offering is changing the lease to say the cost of the lease to Hasco is $50,000 which is the way it is now plus one percent of the gross receipts, so it is adding one percent of the gross receipts, has nothing to do with the Federal Express lease. Councilman Serio: Gross receipts of what, of Fed Ex or what Hasco is taking out? Councilman Huckaby: Of Hasco.
Motion by Councilman Huckaby, seconded by Councilman Shyne for adoption of Amendment No. 2. Amendment No. 2. denied by the following vote: Nays: Councilmen Stewart, Carmody, Serio, and Spigener. 4. Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Shyne and Burrell. 3. Motion by Councilman Carmody, seconded by Councilman Serio for adoption of the resolution as amended. Councilman Shyne: I believe you should ask for questions before you ask for the vote, if we have any questions on the motion as amended. Councilman Spigener: I guess I was assuming, Councilman Shyne that all of the questions and comments had been made, but if not, we certainly will entertain questions at this point. Councilman Shyne: Further reference, please don't assume anymore. Councilman Spigener: I know, it is not very wise to make assumptions, is it? Councilman Shyne: You are exactly right there. You know, I have some serious reservations about the whole deal. I really feel like, first of all, the Airport could do this and like I've said before, I have confidence in Mr. Miller and I really felt like that the Airport could have handled this and I really felt like it would have been a tremendous plus for the City of Shreveport. And after reading the Shreveport Times, Saturday, November 11 there is an editorial in here a column in here by a young white who used to live in the city ofShreveport. And he goes on to give us some reasons why he left the city of Shreveport and why he will not come back to the city of Shreveport. One of the points that he brings out is that people in Shreveport are closed minded people. Now, this is a young white who is saying this. This is not being said by Larry English or by Willie Bradford. `Cause now, Joe Shyne, has said it a number of times and I will continue to say it because we are. And until we fess up to the fact that we are, we are going to continue to business like we've always done business and young people are going to continue to leave the City of Shreveport. I don't care what we are saying in t. v. commercials. I don't care how much we get down on our knees and pray that they will come back. . . with no action doesn't mean anything. And this is an excellent way of showing young people that we are still doing business as usual. If we don't really mean what we say when we talk about, I'm my brother's keeper and that we are going to provide economic opportunities for everybody, people are not coming back into this city. People are going to continue to leave this city. Those that are fat are going to get fatter and we are not going to have anything left. God has a way of blessing us if we don't do what's fair. I don't like the deal. I don't think it is good for the City and I don't think it is good for the community. It doesn't have anything to do personally with anybody. How you feel about me personally, I hope you love me. If you don't, I can make it without it. But I'm concerned about what's best for this community. We got to stop doing deals like this and saying that this is the best thing for this community. For the last 10 years, we probably loss six or seven or eight thousand people, maybe even more than that because of the way that we've been doing business. We have got to create opportunities where the economic opportunities are opening up everybody, not just for a few, but for everybody. And I really don't expect for some of you all to stand up and fight for everybody because I understand. We have a tendency to take care of people who look like us, who socialize with us. We are going to have to start reaching out. We are going to have to start being open minded, please my colleagues on the Council, to the Administration, and to the City of Shreveport, we are going to have to do better. Councilman Huckaby: I am opposed to this proposal and I want to publicly express my reasons for voting against this selfishly concocted piece of legislation. The Airport Authority is that body established for the purpose of operating, enhancing, improving and expanding the capacity of the Shreveport Airport. It is this very kind of expansion that is expected to be initiated and developed by the Shreveport Airport Authority. Why? Because the Shreveport Airport Authority is expected to foresee the need for increasing its own capacity to handle more planes, more passengers, and more cargo. It is not expected that members of the Shreveport Airport Authority will selfishly capitalize on knowledge and information at its disposal for the personal gain of its members with proposals that include out of state investors, but exclude African American citizens of this City. Those who have been around City government long enough to know where the fruit trees are and how to pick the best fruit, not for the benefit of the people, not for the benefit of the Airport Authority, not in the best interest of the City of Shreveport, but for their own personal gain, ought to be removed as members of the Shreveport Airport Authority. And, the Director of the Airport Authority who allows such wicked proposals to be developed to the detriment of the taxpayers of this city, ought to be fired andreplaced with a servant of the people and a servant for the people of this City. A member acting on behalf of the greedy rather than on behalf of the needy, that is the people of this City, is a prime example of counterproductive leadership. But if this City Council approves of these kinds of sweetheart deals, to the exclusion of black people, let the word go forth that Hilry Huckaby III will not sit idly by and silently acquiesce to the old exclusion policy of excluding black folks from these kinds of money making deals. If there is a proposal before this body to build a bridge from Shreveport to nowhere (wherever that might be), if it is an all inclusive deal involving black citizens, I just might be inclined to vote, yes. For too long, black people have been denied access to deals that involve the public sector for the benefit and profit of the private sector. Black people are always told that they are a dollar short or just a day too late. And while the Mayor of this city is on television and the Internet advising our kids to return to Shreveport, I can't help but wonder Mr. Mayor, if you are truly inviting black youth to return home. Return home for what? The attitude of this Council has not changed. We still question whether or not the principle of Fair share applies to deals like the one before us. The playing field is still not level. Return home for what? Does a black youth have the same economic opportunities as his white counterpart. Why should a black youth return to a city where the City Council does not believe that the principles of Fair share applies if there is no city money involved. The principle of Fair share should apply if any resource of the city is involved, be it money, land or whatever. And why should a white youth return to Shreveport? What advantage does it give him? They can stay wherever they are and be like Hasco: find somebody on a government and concoct a sweetheart deal and bring it before the Shreveport City Council, it'll pass. So, I say to black former Shreveporters, come home. Young black men, young black women, come home. Not because Shreveport has embraced economic inclusion, not because fair share is a reality, not because economic parity is the order of the day, but come home simply because it is just a matter of time. Our numbers will demand that our economic gains become commencement with our political gains. Our sheer numbers will empower us to demand and receive economic justice and a real middle class can be developed in the black community of this City. So, Madame Chairman today it is a question of whether we as City Council members will stand up for the people or will we stand up for the privileged? Will we stand up for the greedy or will we stand up for the needy? I want the world to know that I stand for the people, all the people, black and white people of this City, Shreveport. Councilman Burrell: I been somewhat thoroughly confused about this whole deal. I think business should be done in this City, fairly. Now, there is a number forth as to how long this business arrangement has taken to reach this point; some say 18 months, some say shorter, some said that an outside company started the negotiations and then a local company came in later and became a part of this negotiation which I am still not clear, even at this juncture of voting for this, what is really the truth and that is what I seek to find, what is the truth about this situation just like any other business situation. In terms of ownership, personally I think that at the point where this project was talked about at the Airport Authority, that issue should have come into play in terms ofdiverse ownership. But I understand during the deliberations, that issue did come up. Now, whether or not it is true or not, I can't say because I was not there. I know I haven't been able to get that information and deliberation that has taken place in this Council. I know one thing that I can stand behind and that is our Fair share policy, and I asked about how would Fair share apply to this. And I was told that on the engineering portion of this job that we did have diverse participation and I wanted to go a little further to find out, well what participation was that, so that if I vote on it, then I'll know that it will fall in line with our Fair share policy and if there were an opportunity for African-Americans in this City to be a part of at least the Fair share, even if it is not the ownership portion, that we do have a law on the books that we all supported that said that, we would abide by that. Up until 10 minutes before the Council meeting started, I couldn't even get that information. So that kind of puts you at a point of not knowing exactly what to do and normally when I don't know what to do, then I normally don't take a positive step forward on that until someone thinks enough of this Council and thinks enough of me in particular to supply me that information. So, at this juncture, I'm very disappointed at the information that has been requested by Council members who are asked to vote on this issue, has not been brought forward. And definitely with me, it is not about politics because the people who I know, some who are involved in this, I have a good relationship with them, but I do have a commitment to the residents that are in my district as well as the City as a whole to protect its interest first, then everything else comes second. But again it disappointed me and has disappointed me so far, that I have not been able to get the information that I have been asking for nor has the people who said that they were going to explain it to me has brought forth that information and I really think that it is a hard thing at this juncture to support something that you know nothing about. It always gives me the willies, to be asked to step out on a limb when I know who is there to saw it off. So, again Madame Chair, I'm a bit disappointed if we are at this juncture and all the answers has not been given to the questions that have been put forth.
Resolution passed as amended by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Stewart, Carmody, Serio and Spigener. 4. Nays: Councilmen Huckaby, Shyne and Burrell. 3. Councilman Shyne: I would hope in the future, anytime any public resources are being used that we make sure that companies know that we would like for them to adhere to the Fair share Plan. This is the only way that we are going to ever reach our goal. It was said years ago in Atlanta that a Atlanta would no grow and as I look at Hilry Huckaby sitting to the left of me, I remember back in 1977 when he filed a suit to change the form of city government here in the City of Shreveport, it was said then that, this new form of city government would never work, it will never work, that the commission form of government was just the best that Shreveport could have. And if it had not been for Hilry Huckaby filing the suit, Joe Shyne would have never been on the City Council, more than likely, Keith Hightower would have never been elected Mayor, Pat Spigener would not be sitting here today as Chairman of this City Council, most of us would not be here today. It is time for a change, if we are going to grow. If we are going to become the kind of City that we need to become. We are going to have to open up and offer economicopportunities for everybody, not just to drive the bus, but to own the bus; not just to coach the team, but ownership in the team. Even young whites are saying that we are closed minded here in Shreveport. We are going to run everybody away. Please, in the future, lets make sure that we do everything we can to reach out and embrace everybody who wants to get involved in providing economic opportunities.

Read by title and as read motion by Councilman Burrell, seconded by Councilman Stewart passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Serio, Spigener, Shyne andBurrell. 7. Nays: None. The Deputy Clerk read the resolution by title: Resolution No. 196 of 200: A resolution changing the name of Grand Avenue between Milam Street and Texas Avenue to Elvis Presley Avenue and to otherwise provide with respect thereto. Mr. Thompson: On yesterday on the Fact sheet when this was introduced, it said that it was a 2-reader, however the option is open to the Council, you can vote on it today if you want to. Councilman Stewart: I would like to wait and vote at the next meeting.
Read by title and as read motion by Councilman Stewart, seconded by Councilman Serio to postpone the resolution until the November 28, 2000. Councilman Burrell: On the re-naming of the streets, I think a number of us have entertained this option. I know Councilman Huckaby had one renamed, I think Fatitta's and there was a resolution that was introduced to re-name Pierre Avenue and I understand there was history behind that street and there have been several others, I think Plum Street was re-named Hersey D. Wilson. And there has been opposition from different persons because of family relations and history. And some times street names just have, it is near and dear to certain people's heart. And I think on yesterday we asked about this street, if someone would give us some information, maybe the historian on whether there is significance to the name of this street and I haven't received that, I don't know if any other Council members have since yesterday. I would just like to know as a point of information and since Councilman Stewart said that it could be a 2-reader, I know we have time, but has that information been brought forth. I think Mr. Mayor you mentioned that you were going to get something for us? Mayor Hightower: Over the next 2 weeks, Councilman, we will be sure to get you an entire history on the negotiations and the leg work that has been done on this particular resolution. Councilman Burrell: I just want us to be consistent on these if nothing else. Councilman Stewart: I certainly don't want my suggestion to appear that I'm opposed to this particular issue. Several people have called me, probably ten, most of them had a particular interest in wanting to know what was transpiring. 2) I did make a request from Mr. Brock when I happen to be at Fatitta's's the other day, about any particular background. My general understanding is the fact that it is one block long really presents a greater rationale for considering a change since it does not appear at this time, to have been named after anybody in particular. And from a pro-active point of view, two points: I asked Ms. Acree if she could gather some additional information, obviously Mayor Hightower, and she will have it to us concerning the, re-confirming and concerning the Elvis Presley representatives. I have every reason to believe that they are very much in favor of it. I think that it will provide some benefit for us because while we don't necessarily seek to be singular, it will be one of the only two in the world. Realizing that a request from his home town was declined. His relationship with this community and his apparently imminent rise to stardom began here with the Hayride and that particular facility, I thinkthere is a true sensitivity to it and I believe Ms. Acree and the Mayor have been very well positioned to do it. I hope that we will all have our minds open and be ready to vote in two weeks. The most important issue, I think here in front of us though is the awareness of those who might raise a question that we will be delaying for two weeks, and respect for those interests, I request that we delay it. Councilman Shyne: I would like to piggyback in on what Councilman Burrell said. I'm a little reluctant about changing the names of public streets and parks and naming them after individuals for some emotional reasons. I've gotten a number of requests from different people to name different streets after different people, and it is hard to explain to them that, you just don't go around changing the names of streets. What you do is, you get into a situation where you open up a pandora's box. I think Councilman Carmody and I kind of in a situation now where people mean well, but you just can't go around changing the names of streets because people mean well or you can't go around changing the names of parks or putting up statutes or monuments on public property because people mean well. If you did, you would open up a pandora's box and you would be bombarded and that has happened to me a number of times and I'll have to bite the bullet and just say, no, a lot of times. Sometimes I've loss some friends and sometimes I've made some and some people understand and some people don't.; so, that's why I wish we could get all the information we can to see what's the historical history behind this street. Councilman Burrell: I want to make a clarification too, that it is not that I'm against re-naming the street because I think there is only a few businesses, a couple of businesses that are on that street. It has nothing to do with that. It does have to do with consistency in our vote and how we approach these things. Presley, I don't know him but one of my favorite songs was "Hound Dog" and still is, so it has nothing to do with that. But I think that we do have to take into consideration the historical aspect of street naming whenever we consider re-naming streets. Councilman Spigener: I think there is probably several of us on the Council that can identify with that era, but Councilman Stewart, I am assuming (and of course Councilman Shyne has warned me against assuming today) but is Grand Boulevard the street that runs directly in front of the Municipal Auditorium? Councilman Stewart: Yes, ma'am, it runs from Milam to Texas Avenue. Councilman Spigener: And there are no businesses on that street are there, facing it? Councilman Stewart: There is a church there and there is a businesses at the corner that may have. . . ., those are the only two that are open. Everything else is either closed, a parking lot or. . . .Councilman Burrell: The beauty shop is closed there?
Motion to postpone the resolution until the November 28, 2000 passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Stewart, Carmody, Serio, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 7. Nays: Nays: Councilman Serio: Just a passing second thought, but I'm thinking that you've got a church on the street. It might be an incredible, up to the basket, having that kind of a name on the street just from the spirituals and all that Elvis Presley sang. No telling whatit could bring as far as the tourist traveling into the street. It is amazing to think of the history that we have here in the city of Shreveport, but realizing the good spirituals that Elvis recorded back in the `50s and early `60s; it might be good. Councilman Spigener: Well, that is thinking out of the box a little bit Councilman Serio, but that is what we need to do isn't.

Nays: None. Out of Chamber: Councilman Stewart. 1. Councilman Burrell: Roy, I'm not sure if these ordinance are in conjunction with the sound problem that we have over there, but I received at least four calls today over from the other side on the north side of Parkway Lane-what is the area over there? Mr. Miller: You are talking about north of the Airport: Maywood Drive and Green. . . Councilman Burrell: Maywood Drive. They are saying that they are having tremendous noise problems and it is my understanding that, I know one person commented to your about it, but it is his understanding that they are just on the cuff of this noise boundary, and if I continue to get calls, we may need to re-look at that. Mr. Miller: Let me give you an update on what's happening there. We just received a grant from the FAA to acquire more property and sound insulate certain properties and to also go back and review our noise program, so we are in the process of doing that, see if other homes are falling into the criteria for acquisition, if not, that they would fall into the criteria for noise and sound insulation. We'll continue along. The fact that someone's home didn't get bought at this point in the program, doesn't mean that some other mitigation effort won't be made. They may have hope in the future. It is all depending on what the FAA approves. Councilman Burrell: Well, I've committed to one that once I've collected the names, that we will sit down and talk about this because it is nothing worse than. . . .Mr. Miller: If you can get me the addresses, then I can look and see which part of the program they are in. If they are not in it at all, we'll make sure that they get looked at when we do the review and the update of the study. Councilman Burrell: I know it is some houses over on Scenic Drive which is not near Maywood and unless the path has changed, these are over $200,000 homes that are in there that are starting to complain and they just built those home within the last year or so, so I don't know if the air path has changed or what, but I'm sure that we are going tohave some concerns out of this. Mr. Miller: If you give me the addresses, we be sure to look at them. Councilman Spigener: Mr. Miller, are you saying that there is a possibility that more houses on the north side of the interstate will be bought? Mr. Miller: North and South, it depends on what the review of the study provides and what the FAA approves. Councilman Spigener: That's pretty important to a lot of people, especially the people in the industry that I'm in, that's real estate. Is there any way that you can notify-I guess you wouldn't notify the public as soon as some determination is made as to which areas? Mr. Miller: Part of the noise study will have public hearings involved in community meetings. We are in the process now of preparing the advertising for consultants to conduct that study, so as we move through the program, the public will have the opportunity to comment and bring their concerns to us. But they can certainly call us now and we'll look at it now too, but we can not amend the program as it is currently approved until we do the review. But get ahold of us at the Land Acquisition or if you will give me their addresses and names, we'll be glad to look into it. 3.
