The regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Shreveport, State of Louisiana, was called to order by Chairman Joe Shyne at 3:15 p.m., Tuesday, April 24, 2001, in the Government Chambers in Government Plaza (505 Travis Street).

Awards and Recognitions of Distinguished Guests of the Mayor and the Council Which Are Required By Law. Mr. Dark: The only communication I have is you had asked yesterday for Chief Roberts to give you some information, and had given him the option to do that at the next meeting and that is what he would prefer to do because of some other commitments, but we will do that one next time. Councilman Shyne: We will be willing to wait and to get that information another time.

Councilman Shyne: I believe we have some distinguished guests with us today from one of the top middle schools in Caddo Parish and in north Louisiana and really, in the state of Louisiana. There is a rumor that some of the better students in Caddo Parish attend this particular school and I would like to Mrs. Bryant to come forward and to give us a few words about and tell us a little something about this school. I will not call the name, I will let you call the name.

Mrs. Bryant: This afternoon we have with us Linwood Middle School 7^th grade students (who stood). Linwood Middle School students are here, we been out since 9:30 this morning touring the city going to city buildings and going over city projects. The teachers are Mr. Billy Wayne and Mr. Powers and they had to leave at this point.

We have been under a grant that was given to us by the Pugh Terrible Foundation which was sponsored by the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce, and the grant was done under what we call the, leadership grant, where we had 6 graders doing Parish government and they were in here for the Commission meeting about two weeks ago. They had a chance to go to the courthouse and other buildings. The 7^th graders, they are doing City government. We went to the Academy, we’ve gone down and gone to the Expo Hall and Barnwell and other buildings, and the 8^th graders, they did State government and they had a chance last Thursday to go to Baton Rouge to the old Capitol and the new Capitol. So, they had a great chance to have a good opportunity. The 7^th graders are looking forward to that next year. And the purpose of this grant was to teach and prepare out students to get them ready for politics and the political world. And the only way that I’ve ever felt that this can be done is through exposure and to let them see it firsthand and we thank you for allowing us to attend.

Councilman Shyne: Ms. Bryant, we appreciate you taking the time to bring them down and we appreciate you being a part of that grant because this is what keeps our democracy so great, by people participating. And any time we can be of any service to you or your students or to Linwood Middle School, just let us know and I believe that school is located in Councilman Carmody’s district. Councilman Carmody: That is correct. Councilman Shyne: Councilman, would you like to say a word.

Councilman Carmody: I had a chance to speak to the 7^th graders before the meeting, but again, I would reiterate that they are here to observe how good government, behaves. And I would ask all other Council members to please put on a smiling face and to show them how the City operates at its best; thank ya’ll for being here.

Councilman Burrell: I just wanted to note, I did pass the word around, everybody be on your best behavior until they leave.

Councilman Shyne: Councilman Spigener said something to me, I couldn’t really understand what she said, you might want to say it again.

Councilman Spigener: And we won’t repeat that, Councilman Shyne and we certainly don’t want these students to leave here believing that we are not always on our best behavior.

Councilman Shyne: Thank you all very much for coming down, this is what democracy is all about. God bless you, come again.

Councilman Carmody: I would like to ask the Council to do, is to form a committee to investigate the development of a long term plan to be passed by the Council, by resolution, in order to make sure our Water and Sewer Department are a self-sustaining enterprise. It would give an opportunity to the public to hear the status of our water and sewer system as well as the needs that this community needs to address in order to make sure that our water and sewer are in compliance with state and federal regulations as well as provide a healthy and sanitary environment for our communities. So, I would ask that our Chairman, Mr. Shyne, to please consider appointing the committee in order to allow us to hear this matter more fully because today we will be asked to consider for our next Council meeting to vote on increases in our water and sewer rate.

Councilman Burrell: I just wanted to find out, you said a committee to look at the self-sustaining of our Water and Sewer Department or as an enterprise fund? Councilman Carmody: Right.

Councilman Burrell: Okay, now is this in conjunction with the water and sewer hearings that we may be doing or is it an on-going committee?

Councilman Carmody: This would be an on-going committee. Basically what I would hope that we could do is to bring in our officials with the Water and Sewer Department to give a (inaudible) of the condition of the system, both treated water and waste water, as well as to review reports that the city has paid for say within the last 10 years to evaluate the condition of the system and then to seek the input of the public as far as what their experiences have been and then to look at what the financing will have to be in order to accomplish the necessary repairs to the system in order to bring everything up to the proper standard. So, this would be an on-going, I would envision it meeting twice a year to evaluate, after we implement by resolution, a program by which we address and correct the situation as best we can.

Councilman Burrell: So basically, this is a fact finding committee?

Councilman Carmody: Correct.

Councilman Burrell: And your anticipating that it will be held twice a year?

Councilman Carmody: After we look at what the needs are and formulate a plan in order to implement the plan and then to follow and monitor the plan to make sure that we are staying the course in order to accomplish the goals. I would envision that this Committee would outlast the particular term of these Council members that would be on-going.

Councilman Shyne: I think it is a good idea and I do think that from time to time, there are certain important matters that we do need to be looking at more in-depth: 1) Councilman Carmody, I would like you to serve on that committee and I’d like for you to act as Chairman. 2) Councilman Serio, I would like for you to serve on that committee and 3) I will serve on that committee, with you.

At one time we had a Public Safety Committee, I think maybe 4 or 5 or 6 years ago. I’d like to re-active the Public Safety Committee and 1) Councilman Huckaby, I would hope that you would serve on that committee. 2) Councilman John David Stewart who is not here would serve on that committee. 3) Roy, would you be willing to serve on a Public Safety Committee? At one time we had a Public Safety Committee, and I’d like to reactive it and kind of maybe look at some of the situations that are going on in the Police Department, would you mind serving on that committee? Councilman Burrell: That’ll be fine. Councilman Shyne: You and Councilman Huckaby, would you mind and Councilman John David Stewart.

Public Hearing. None.

Confirmations and Appointments: None.

Adding Legislation the Agenda

Motion by Councilman Burrell, seconded by Councilman Carmody to suspend the rules to add legislation to the agenda; motion unanimously approved.

Motion by Councilman Burrell to add Ordinance No. 81 of 2001, seconded by Councilman Carmody. Motion approved by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Carmody, Serio, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 6. Absent: Councilman Stewart. 1.

Councilman Carmody: Councilman Stewart had asked me to add an amendment to the ordinance. This is an amendment to the ordinance regarding the application of Albertson’s for their development of the grocery store to be located at Kings Highway and Southern Avenue.

Councilman Shyne: That’s No. 74 on the Introduction of Ordinances, am I right? Councilman Carmody: I believe that is correct. Motion by Councilman Carmody. Mr. Thompson: I believe that what has happened is that the Metropolitan Planning Commission staff, have prepared a substitute ordinance and we can just use that one instead of the one that was sent out with the package, if that is okay. And, I don’t think any action will need to be taken by the Council to do that. Councilman Carmody: Very good. Councilman Shyne: That will be fine.

Mr. Kirkland: May I have a moment, please, Mr. Chairman? Mr. Thompson: Mr. Kirkland suggest that what would be introduced is what the MPC passed and then it could be amended, but even the amendment would not require any action at this time.

Councilman Carmody: As I appreciate it, there is no action that we need to take? Mr. Thompson: There is no action that we need to take at this time, but when we get ready to vote on it, then you could vote on the amendment and the amendment will substitute the entire ordinance, if that is what the Council desires to do.

Councilman Carmody: And that will be at the next City Council meeting? Mr. Thompson: The next meeting. It can be at the next meeting. Councilman Carmody: Thank you.

The Council considered the CONSENT AGENDA legislation.

3. Resolution No. 48 of 2001: A resolution authorizing a contract between the City of Shreveport and the Independence Bowl Foundation, Inc. relative to the production of the Independence Bowl and related activities and to otherwise provide with respect thereto.

Read by title and as read motion by Councilman Burrell, seconded by Councilman Carmody for Introduction of the Resolutions to lay over until the May 8, 2001 meeting.

Councilman Carmody: Mr. Dark, I realize that you are standing instead for the Administration today; so, there are a number of questions that I’m hoping that you might be able to help me with or to have for us before our next meeting. It is good that the 7^th graders are here today, because I think that this is something that you might be interested in.

We are being asked to increase the water and sewer rate in the City of Shreveport in order to pay back a loan that the City can get at law interest for $70 million dollars, that’s a lot of money. My question, Mr. Dark is, we presently have bonding capacity with General Obligation Bonds which we could also use, as I appreciate it, for addressing the water and sewer needs within the City. Would there be a possibility of using part of those general obligation bonds to offset the necessity to increase the water and sewer rates at least by the year 2003?

Mr. Dark: I actually can answer that. Historically, at least, the City has always used utility revenue bonds or something like it, which is what’s being proposed here to finance the capital improvements done by the Water and Sewer system. The most likely and the best reason for not using GO Bond money, I think to do a part of this, is that everything else you want to do, capital-wise, can only be done by General Obligation bonds, there is no revenue to support, for instance, a Streets and Drainage Bond Issue or a SPAR Bond Issue or something like that. If you in fact were to chose to use GO Bonds exclusively for water and sewer for instance, then you would have no bonding capacity left to do all the other things that the City also must do; so that’s the reason that this is being proposed the way it is, that it would certainly be your choice, it is just not what I recommend you do.

Councilman Carmody: Yes, sir, I appreciate that. My understanding though would be that by using the General Obligation bonds to fund capital improvements, it would require going before the voters and asking for their approval to do so whereas, this Council is not going to have the benefit of public input by two weeks from now in order to vote to increase all of our water and sewer rates, which effectively would take place after we leave office, but would continue on for an extended period of time upwards, I believe, four years and therefore it is a form of taxation without representation, it appears that way.

Mr. Dark: Well, first of all, the Council has the option before you adopt any of this, to have whatever form of public input you like. But understand as well that unlike some of the other things for which we have choices, in the capital world, this is one we are going to do one way or the other because it is a requirement. You’ve heard ever since you came on the Council about all of the needs of the water and sewer utility and this is not all of them, this is simply the one to deal with plants. Again, you have the choice, but if you were to make the choice that way, you would be in fact foreclosing off the option to do other bond work on other things that you also wish to do. So, again, the Council has the option to deal with these matters before you finally adopt them in any way that you feel is appropriate to get public input, but understand that if we simple get a straight revenue bond deal, which this is not exactly but it is similar, all that requires is, I believe something at the Council meeting before you adopt them, I don’t if it is a public hearing or some opportunity for public comment, so it is a policy matter for the City and as you understand, I don’t make policy today but I strongly would recommend you not to pursue that course because of the City’s relatively small general obligation bonding capacity at this moment. You are going to need that for other things that you going to want to do between now (Councilman Carmody: Correct.) and a few years from now. And I understand your desire to say okay, public here’s what coming and here’s why. I think you have other ways to do that short of using the G. O. route.

Councilman Carmody: Is there a necessity from a time standpoint that we vote on this at the next Council meeting because of either a regulatory mandate or a time constraint for qualifying for this low interest money? Mr. Dark: I do not know the answer to that. I have to assume that this is something that needs to be done fairly quickly because you’ve got to get in line for this kind of LDEQ Revolving Loan Program. Whether it matters if it passed May 8^th or May 22^nd for instance, I don’t know and we’ll be happy to get that information to you.

Councilman Carmody: If you could do that. The other thing I would like to ask is that, general obligation bonds are serviced by ad valorem taxes. Could we get a report on how the ad valorem taxes are used to see if there might be some available funds there that could also be included to address the water and sewer problems.

Mr. Dark: I’ll be happy to get Ms. Washington to work on that. It is my understanding that we pretty much, we use what we collect in ad valorem taxes to pay the current millages that we have and the current bonds that we are paying back.

Councilman Carmody: What about the income we receive from the casinos as part of their riverfront operation. Is there a possibility that (inaudible) on those funds and how they are allocated to see whether or not there might be some room there for us to use some of those funds?

Mr. Dark: Be happy to get you some of that. I will tell you what I know about the riverfront budget, is you are not going to sell a whole lot of bonds with those as backing because there is not a whole lot of, what you would call, excess money even with Hollywood coming in because the Convention Center bonds are in fact paid by the fund already. But we will be happy to get you whatever information you like.

We understand it’s a big deal. Water and Sewer hasn’t sold revenue bonds in this amount in a long time and we want to make sure that everybody knows why we are doing it and what the options are before you vote.

Councilman Carmody: And I would think that that would be the best way in order to educate the public as to the necessity to do this. I don’t think that anybody on this Council wants to raise taxes or increase user fees to any extent, but we are all aware and that we have been here, at least some of us for two years and know the condition of our infrastructure of the City, that it does need to be addressed and is long since, past due.

Mr. Dark: It may be that the committee you all just created, is a forum to start this process. We will be happy to get you whatever information we can, get Mr. Strong and anyone else that you or he deems necessary, sit down and lets just visit. Councilman Carmody: Excellent.

Councilman Burrell: I was looking to see if Mike Strong was here because based on a comment that Councilman Carmody had made earlier about why is there a deadline that we are pushing for.

I think Councilman Carmody brought up a good question on the, was there a critical deadline as to why we are pushing to hear this thing by the 8^th and I think you mentioned in one of the meetings, you may want to reiterate it for our benefit because I want to know that I heard what you told me why we were trying to get this on the agenda.

Mr. Strong: What this does, Councilman and Chairman is, is that it gets us in line for the money. We have verbally been told that we could get the money but we need to do the pre-application and the application is in it. There are other cities in the state that are looking at getting this revolving loan money and they only have a certain amount of it there, that can go out on the different years that would be coming up. They have verbally already committed to us $42.5 million and that we more than likely we can get the other $27.5, so the quicker we can get in line for it, means that we are going to 1) commit to the $42.5 and that we would be eligible for the other $27.5 which we will be hoping that being in line, will get us that at a quicker pace.

Councilman Burrell: Based on that, I know interest rates many times, depends upon at what time did you go and apply for it. Will this cause—if there is an extended period of time, and there is money still available, will that interest rate change, as you know? Mr. Strong: No, sir, this is a set rate from the, this is federal funds that comes to the state for the management. It actually is set up at 3.45% rate and there is a .05% administration by the state, that the state gets out of it so that is a set rate and we do not anticipate that there will be any changes in that.

Councilman Shyne: This comment is not so much to Mike, but it is to the other Council members and I guess it is kind of like what we’ve said already.

I’ve always been reluctant about voting for increase on anything that is going to impact the citizens that I represent and the citizens of Shreveport without actually giving them an opportunity to have some input. And Tom and I discussed it earlier and of course it was kind of between the two of us and the statement was made, it is kind of like taxation without representation and I’m very hesitant about voting for an increase in anything without giving the people an opportunity to have some input.

But I do understand at this particular juncture, that we might need to go forward and I hope that we would get as much information as we need from the Administration because we do have a serious infrastructure problem when it comes to our water and sewerage system and I will have to admit that Councilman Huckaby and myself might be a part of it and Councilman Serio and Councilman Burrell and Councilman Spigener, you all have been here although (inaudible) and that we have not addressed this problem earlier. It really should have been addressed quite a few years ago; so, I’m a little reluctant, but I understand the importance of it.

Motion for Introduction of the Resolutions passed by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Huckaby, Carmody, Serio, Spigener, Shyne and Burrell. 6. Nays: None. Absent: Councilman Stewart. 1.

Councilman Shyne: I’m sorry, I voted. I shouldn’t have vote. The Mayor is out of the state and for a while, Ms. Small, I’m acting as Mayor since the Mayor is out of the state and this is a great honor for somebody from District F. Mr. Thompson: We’ll make a note, Mr. Shyne. Councilman Shyne: Please do that. I’m sorry. That was a mistake on my part and Roy I do make mistakes some times; very seldom though. Councilman Burrell: We all appreciate that.

Councilman Spigener: I’ve had a request to ask you to read your Robert’s Rules of Order, please. Councilman Shyne: Mr. Huckaby, thank you. Councilman Burrell: Keep him straight, Hilry. Councilman Shyne: That was an oversight on my part. I was talking to Tom, and I forgot.

Councilman Shyne: Mr. Kirkland, I want to make sure I’m clear on this. 5201 Broadway, that zoning restricts them to a day care and if the day care fizzle out, they can’t come back and have a night club or something because you know we had problems on that corner for years? Mr. Kirkland: That is correct.

Councilman Shyne: . . . nightclub and we had numbers of people who have gotten killed and raped and robbed and everything else and we don’t want that back into the community. Mr. Kirkland: That’s exactly right.

Councilman Shyne: Thank you, because you worked with me, for years, t o try to get that out and it was really a headache.

Councilman Spigener: Mr. Kirkland, C-19-01, Harold and Beverly Sater, 2700 block of Standard Oil Road. I visited the site. I have not looked to see what the decision of the MPC was, but was it unanimous? Mr. Kirkland: It was unanimous. There was a concern about the fence by the applicant.

Councilman Spigener: That’s why I visited the property. Mr. Kirkland: But it directly abuts single family residential which is why the Board did not waive that requirement but the neighbors, again that would be your call, Councilwoman, as to how you would want it. If you need that changed, just let us know.  

Councilman Spigener: Okay, and I think that that’s what we will do. It seems to me that the metal fence would either more effective and have deterioration there, to go with the metal fence instead of a wooden fence.

I think I see the City Attorney, I see our Director of the Fairshare Program, others. Would you all just stand and look at the students from Linwood and give them your name and tell them maybe within a minute of what you do, and if each department head would do that.
