Awards, Recognition of Distinguished Guests and Communications of the Mayor Which Are Required by Law. Mayor Hightower: We have got Sam Gilliam here today. I think I met with each Council member to tell you about Sam and his qualifications and where he has been, and most recently the Interim Chancellor at Southern and he will be the new Assistant CAO and head up the Fair Share Program. So, Sam we want to welcome you aboard and look forward to working with you. Mr. Gilliam: Thank you very much. Councilman Burrell: I want you to get use to that position, you'll probably be up there quite often. Mr. Gilliam: It is a privilege to be a part of the team to work with the City. I appreciate the confidence that Mayor Hightower has placed in me and I pledge my support to you, to make the Fair Share Plan work to the benefit of all of our citizens here as we work to level the playing field for participation for everybody to gain something. Councilman Shyne: Mr. Mayor, did you inform him that we are worse than the Southern Board that he just left? Mayor Hightower: Mr. Shyne I don't know if you saw his picture in the paper the other day, but we didn't like that look and he changed it (inaudible). Councilman Shyne: I just want to let him know that we are worse than the Southern Board. That's my neighbor, good to have you on Board, Sam. Councilman Burrell: Welcome on board. Sam has done an exemplary job up at Southern University as the Executive Vice-Chancellor, did I get that correct? Mr. Gilliam: And Interim Chancellor. Councilman Burrell: And he got the vote of the confidence of the students to ask him to stay on as Chancellor, but he said it was time to go; so, Sam welcome to the City Council and the City of Shreveport.

Councilman Spigener: I do have someone I'd like to recognize. I thought we were going to have several people here for that recognition, but the certificates can be taken to those individuals that were not able to make it today. As you remember back in August, the City participated in the 16^th Annual National Night Out and there were block parties throughout the City. And I wanted to recognize one group that held their block party and did an excellent job by involving and getting many of the businesses to participate in donations of things to their block party. It was exceptional and these are residents from the Colony Square Apartments. I have Certificates of Appreciation to those who were the leaders in that. They did win a first place award for their activity. (The Clerk read and Councilman Spigener presented a Certificate of Appreciation to: Walter H. Laney, Dana L. Griffin, Judith R. Griffin, Susan M. Rubio, Annette Goldsberg, Stacy Posey, Judy Nations, Judy Chandler and Tobina Parker.)

Councilman Spigener: Mr. Laney congratulations to you all and I appreciate the good work that you are doing in our district, and if you would deliver these to those citizens and residents that could not be here.

Councilman Burrell: This is a very special guest for me and I'm sure to the remainder of this Council as well as this Administration. He has really set a precedence for this particular area of interest which is voters registration or should I say, Registrar of Voters (I'm trying to find the right words). He has really turned that office around and made us very, very proud and he has also achieved a level of accomplishment that only a few in this nation has achieved. So at this time I'd like to introduce to some of you, most of us know him as Ernie, Mr. Ernie Roberson and bring your wife and bring your son. Mr. Roberson: This is my wife Betty and my son, Paul and he is a Freshman over at Bossier Parish Community College. Councilman Burrell: Did your Daddy tell you what I told him about your ACT? When you start making those millions, you will know partly where that came from. Motion by Councilman Huckaby to suspend the rules to address Resolution No. 198 of 1999, seconded by Councilman Shyne which was unanimously approved (the Council acted on the resolution [see in numerical order of Regular Agenda Legislation]).

Mr. Roberson: I would just like to say to the City Council, thank you very much for this very kind, very generous of you. And I obviously enjoy what I do, I think it kind of shows through. I have the best job in the parish and I don't mind saying, I enjoy being there every day and I always look forward to helping you in any way that I can; thank you again, very much. Mr. Thompson: Mr. Chairman, would you let Mr. Roberson know that the Council has not voted yet (see Resolution No. 198 of 1999).

Councilman Shyne: It makes my heart feel quite good and I hope Ernie doesn't mind me saying this, when you think about a country boy that came from Highco or Unionville, and 40 years ago they would have given him a piece of tobacco and a chainsaw and told him to go to work. But it goes to show you what you can do if you have the vision and Ernie I want you to know that we are extremely proud of you. You have done an excellent job since you have been Registrar of Voters and your record is impeccable. And Shreveport and Caddo Parish is extremely proud of you; thank you again.

Councilman Burrell: Ernie may still have that tobacco and that chainsaw, huh, Ernie? Mr. Roberson: Hopefully I won't have to go back there.

Councilman Huckaby: I want to personally congratulate Ernie for the tremendous job he does as Registrar of Voters for the Parish of Caddo. Ernie has been a tremendous asset for this Parish. He is always available there for me and I just want to congratulate you Ernie and keep doing a great job. Mr. Roberson: Thank you very much.

Public Hearing: None.

Confirmations and/or Appointments: None.

ORDINANCES ON SECOND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE:

Ordinance No. 122 of 1999: An ordinance to amend Section 74-52.1 of the Code of Ordinances relative to the disposal of solid and other waste, and to otherwise provide with respect.

Having passed first reading on August 10, 1999, was read by title and as read on motion ordered passed to third reading. Read the third time in full and as read motion by Councilman Huckaby, seconded by Councilman Burrell for passage. The Deputy Clerk read the following amendment.

Amend Section 74-52.1(a) of the ordinance to read as follows:

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), (c), (d) and (e), all persons required to obtain a permit from the City under Section 74-53 shall dispose of all solid waste and rubbish collected pursuant to this section, or an equivalent amount as determined by the Director of Operational Services, only at the Woolworth Road Landfill.

Motion by Councilman Shyne for adoption of the amendment. Motion by Councilman Huckaby to postpone, seconded by Councilman Burrell.

Councilman Huckaby: I think that this matter is of such importance that the Council ought not rush into it. I think there are a lot of facts out there that are unknown. I would like to see all of the parties given a chance to lay their cards on the table and if this motion to postpone passes, I would follow up by asking the Chairman to appoint a committee, not necessarily restricted to Council members, to get the facts, to present them to the Council so that we can make an intelligent decision on this very important matter.

Mayor Hightower: With all due respect to Councilman Huckaby, I would ask that the Council act on this matter, today. We've had negotiations, we've talked over the pass three weeks at the wishes of the Council. We are fairly close to an agreement with the one particular company that we have been negotiating with. However, negotiations are not, really don't play a part in what we are trying to accomplish. We are trying to be sure that we sustain or ability to generate the income necessary to continue to pay off the bonds that were voted on by the voters to build the landfill in the first place, and also it is an important revenue stream to the general fund. So, a delay of two more weeks or two more months does nothing but hurt the general fund abilities of the City of Shreveport and enhance somebody else's general fund in Oakbrook, Illinois. So that is not something that we need to do. We'll continue to talk with the companies that trade with us at the landfill so that it is easy, it is fair on all parties that participate, but a delay at this is only detrimental to the City's position.

Councilman Burrell: I would to take this opportunity, unless it is out of order, is the other party to this discussion here? Come forth please. State your name and address for the record. I'm going to ask you a couple of questions. Mr. Roy Walters: Roy Walters, with Waste Management. My address is 341 Cross Creek, Bossier City. Councilman Burrell: In your opinion, where are you on these negotiations with the City? Mr. Walters: I think that the negotiations have gone well. I thought that we were very, very close to reaching an agreement with the City. We still have disagreement as to how much volume we are picking up in the City of Shreveport and that's continues to be what we negotiate about.

Councilman Burrell: But you are comfortable that the negotiations, we would be able to settle on something, soon? Mr. Walters: I mean that's, I really can't determine that. At this point, there is a and it's a very minor difference, but there is a difference in opinion as to what we pick up on a monthly basis in the city of Shreveport. And our company has taken a position and we feel like and our last offer was fairly representative of what we picked up, at 83,000 tons annually, and we have raised that now to, I think that we came up to a guarantee of 7,800 tons a month which is about 900 tons a month more than what our original offer was, and at this point, I don't think we are going to move from that.

Councilman Serio: I would like to ask a question of the City Attorney. The amendment that was just added that has been added for adoption, does that not allow for the continuation of negotiations, if this is passed today. Ms. Glass: Yes, it does. I've worked with Ms. Wallis who works with the Public Works Department on the ordinance and the City Attorney, I believe has also been involved in it. But as far as just the amendment, yes, it is--Councilman Serio: That is the purpose of the amendment, then. Ms. Glass: Is to allow the negotiations. Councilman Serio: You were in a sidebar, Mr. Chairman, but that is what the, the purpose of the amendment is to allow the negotiations if this is passed today.

Councilman Burrell: Now, yesterday we had talked about some language that was in there that seemed to restrict the negotiation process. Has that been cleared up? Ms. Glass: Yes, that was the purpose of the amendment. The language in the proposed ordinance would have said that all waste collected within the City had to go to the landfill. I think there was some question about what that amount would be, so the amendment allows negotiation as to coming to a decision on what that amount actually is. Councilman Burrell: Do you feel that any additional time would help the situation because what I'm hearing is, it will not stop any negotiations that you have? Mr. Walters: I would like to think that we will continue to negotiate. Again, I do believe that our company has taken a fair stance in this situation. We've negotiated in good faith. We, additionally, have a tremendous investment in this market, in a landfill of our own. That investment has not, in the past, has not hindered the amount of garbage that we brought to the City of Shreveport landfill. We continue to bring 50% to 60% of our volume to the Shreveport landfill, even with the investment that we have with Webster Parish. So, we really don't feel like this ordinance is necessary, but. . . .

Councilman Burrell: Well, I just wanted to get this matter completely cleared up and I have, I just like to feel comfortable that we are all, that you all are given a fair shake with this because after all, it may be a selfish interest given the fact that you all are constituent of my Council District and I wanted to give you every opportunity although I know where the Mayor stands on this, and he is looking out for the best interest of the City as a whole and I don't question that. But at certain times, we get to the point where we want to, as Council members, feel comfortable that our constituents have been treated properly, fairly, and given the opportunity that all of the information is on the table. So, what I'm hearing from you, is that you are comfortable with the ordinance at this point and that you all will continue in negotiations. So with that in mind, I respectfully, to Mr. Huckaby, withdraw my second and we will go ahead on and vote on the motion. Mr. Walters: You are asking me if I'm comfortable with the flow control ordinance as it is written. I am absolutely not. I mean, I think that it hinders free enterprise system in itself. Again, we did not and have not over the past 12-months since our two companies merged together, decreased the volume of garbage that we were bringing into the Woolworth Road Landfill. And the offer that we've made to the City of 7,800 tons a month is the average of what we've been hauling since January 1997 through today; so, that is kind of where the numbers come from and I believe that, that's a fair offer.

Councilman Burrell: Well I think the question was, whether or not the passing of this ordinance would hinder your negotiations with the City and I think you said, no; is that correct? Mr. Walters: The passage of the ordinance, really, if you get right down to it, it does allow garbage police. I mean you could have police sitting at the bridges stopping my trucks from going to Webster Parish. It is really going to change the way we structure our routes and the way we do business here in this whole market if we don't reach some kind of agreement. At this point, I would like to think that we will reach an agreement, but I am not one hundred percent sure.

Councilman Serio: With the figure you just gave us, you said what, 7,800 tons; how many tons did you say? How many tons dis you just say that you carry now? Mr. Walters: Into the City of Shreveport? Councilman Serio: Yes. Mr. Walters: Last month it was 7,800 tons. Councilman Serio: Is that a combination of what you were carrying, you said that's how much you carried last year. Is that single company or as the two separate companies? Mr. Walters: As the two companies combined in 1998, we averaged 7,400 tons a month. Councilman Serio: Between the two. Mr. Walters: And in 1997, we averaged 7,800 tons a month as the two companies combined.

Councilman Burrell: We will go ahead now and vote on this motion and I ask the Mayor to continue negotiations.

Mayor Hightower. Certainly we want to continue the negotiations, but there is a remedy to this. We can find out exactly what the tonnage is by checking every single truck at the bridges, if that is what we have to do to get an exact tonnage. That is not something we want to do, we don't want to be the garbage police and I don't think the haulers want that either. That's why we want to negotiate and come to a number a put or pay type number in the landfill. We don't want to monitor that, every single day. But at the same time, it is our job to represent our constituency, and I'm talking about you and I, to be sure that we do receive what we are entitled to and it is certainly their job to be sure that they can haul whatever they can to wherever they want to haul it to benefit their company and I understand that. But there is absolutely a fixed number that we can come to if negotiations don't happen; so, in the end everything will be right on target. Now whether there is a short path to get there or a long path to get there, I guess depends on how the negotiations go, but it is in all of our best interest to negotiate a number so that we all know where we are and we as a city can have a budget figure also that we can live with so that we don't continue to see a $750- to $1 million dollar decline in revenues to the Woolworth Road Landfill because companies take that waste stream somewhere else.

Councilman Burrell: I guess my question too is, are we really negotiating or have we come to a point where either they put up or shut up, if you are going to use it in such terms, that is what I'm hearing? Mayor Hightower: No, we've negotiated. You are hearing 7,500 tons, 7,800 tons, all these numbers batted around. It has been as high as 10,000 tons and as low as 5,200 tons when most of the waste started running out to the Webster Parish Landfill. So, that has been corrected. This particular company has reversed some of that. We'll teach you a lesson and started bringing it back into Woolworth. There is a number there in the middle somewhere, that we can, hopefully come to; it's beneficially to everyone of us to do that and that was the reason the amendment was offered on the current legislation so that we can continue those negotiations and we don't have to monitor the situation everyday.

Mr. Thompson: Mr. Chairman, has your second to postpone has been withdrawn and now that motion has died and we are on the amendment? I'm trying to find out where we are? Councilman Burrell: Well, you are correct. I did withdraw it, but I wanted to get a clarification first on that. So, given that fact, we are back to the original motion. Mr. Thompson: We need a motion to adopt the amendment.
