REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

Councilman J.

Ms. Jamie Elfert, Terrebonne Parish Chief Finance Officer, explained that they are asking the voters to expand the use of an existing millage to include the construction of a new facility, and that this is not a new or increased tax.

**********

A request had been made for Mr. Steve Vassallo, Director of TEDA to report on the recent trip to Weihai, China, but the Chairwoman stated that this will be addressed at the July 11, 2012 meeting.

A speaker card was submitted by Mr. Mark Jeff - Agenda Item 2B (wishes to address the Council relative to the parish President’s lack of returning calls and water lilies in bayous) but upon call by the Chairwoman, he did not come forward to address the Council.

The Council Chairwoman acknowledged Ms. Bonita Boudoin, a Thomas Drive resident, who addressed the Council relative to noise ordinances and block parties. Ms. Boudoin inquired about the permitting process and whether individuals can acquire a permit to have a party at their residence or in a residential area with no nuisance abatement regulations. She explained that the sound permits that are being disbursed are only for the purpose of controlling the noise and the hours that are permitted to do so, but not for block parties as some individuals are using them for. She said that recently she and some of her neighbors were “victims” of the permitting process when a party was given and an influx of individuals from various neighborhoods invaded their street, littered and blocked driveways.

Ms. C. Duplantis moved, seconded by Mr. J. Navy, “THAT, the Council extend Ms. Bonita Boudoin’s time an additional minute”.

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

Ms. Boudoin continued and asked the Council and the Administration for their help with this matter and to possibly review and/or eliminate the permitting process for special events.

Discussion ensued with several of the Council Members thanking Ms. Boudoin for bringing this matter to their attention. It was noted that several calls were made and received regarding this specific event, and the Council and the Administration are going to do everything in their means to review and eradicate problems of this nature when it comes to the issuing of noise permits.

The Council Chairwoman acknowledged Mr. Mike Fesi, a Houma resident, who addressed the Council relative to the matter of the proposed increase in sewer connection fees. Mr. Fesi explained that the increasing of the sewer rates is going to be devastating to individuals in the construction industry, and to the residents of Terrebonne Parish. He asked for the Council to vote against this increase.

The Council Chairman acknowledged Mr. Lea Rutter, a developer, who addressed the Council relative to the matter of the proposed increase in sewer connection fees. Mr. Rutter questioned whether or not the sewer development connection charges will fall under the new and future development fees when a master plan is currently in place. Mr. A. Levron, Parish Manager, responded by explaining that fees are due and payable at the time a specific phase of a development is submitted for engineering approval; thus if a development has engineering approval on the entire development, the current fees will apply; but if there are phases yet to be submitted, then the developer will have to pay the fees that are in place at the time that they receive engineering approval on that particular phase.

Mr. Rutter further questioned whether or not special consideration will be granted for different cases as they relate to the sewer connection fees. Mr. Levron explained that the proposed ordinance does not go into effect until January 1, 2013, so there is a seven-month period when the existing rates apply, and there is no provision for any special case developments.

Mr. Rutter asked how the sewer connection rate fees were formulated, to which Council Chairwoman A. Williams explained that a study was conducted and information was gathered from surrounding parishes to determine where Terrebonne Parish’s status as it relates to the sewer connection fees. Mr. Levron explained that Gulf South Engineering Associates, LLC (GSE) conducted the study and performed the evaluations. and that the ordinance was drafted according to their recommendations.

Ms. C. Duplantis moved, seconded by Mr. P. Lambert, “THAT, the Council extend Mr. Lea Rutter’s time an additional minute”.

Mr. Rutter continued and asked whether or not the fees are based upon a comparison study and how much revenue the parish is expecting to receive from this sewer connection rate increase. Mr. Levron explained that the amount of revenue that is to be received is based upon the new developments that are constructed, for which a projection for 2012 will be approximately $18,000.00. Mr. Levron further explained that the sewer connection rate is based upon the fee 10

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012 structure that is in place at this time and is the recommendation of the engineering consultant firm that the parish implement a fee of $1,000.00 per equivalent residential unit, to be phased in over a five-year period.

The Council Chairwoman acknowledged Mr. Tim Fanguy, a resident and small business owner of Houma, who addressed the Council relative to the proposed increase of the sewer connection fees. Mr. Fanguy questioned the increasing of the fees and asked the Council and the Administration to take the small business owners into consideration when raising this connection fee. He explained that the business owners are already suffering due to the adverse effects that some of the major storms and other disasters have had on the area, especially in the lower parts of Terrebonne Parish.

Mr. P. Lambert moved, seconded by Ms. C. Duplantis and Mr. D. Guidry, “THAT, the Council extend Mr. Fanguy’s time an additional minute”.

The Chairwoman called for a vote on the motion offered by Mr. P. Lambert. UPON ROLL CALL THERE WAS RECORDED: YEAS: G. Hood, Sr., B. Amedée, C. Duplantis, R. Hornsby, D. Babin, D. Guidry, P. Lambert, J. Navy and A. Williams. NAYS: None. ABSENT: None. The Chairwoman declared the motion adopted.

Mr. Fanguy expressed his opinion that this connection fee is going to devastate the local contractors who are already struggling to survive.

Mr. P. Lambert moved, seconded by Ms. B. Amedée, “THAT, it now being 6:30 p.m., the Council open public hearings at this time.”

The Chairwoman recognized the public for comments on the following:

A. A proposed ordinance to amend the Parish code relative to sewer connection charges and relative to sewer development connection fees.

There were no comments from the public on the proposed ordinance.

Ms. B. Amedée moved, seconded by Mr. P. Lambert , “THAT, the Council close the aforementioned public hearing.”

The Chairwoman called for a vote on the motion offered by Ms. B. Amedée. UPON ROLL CALL THERE WAS RECORDED: YEAS: G. Hood, Sr., B. Amedée, C. Duplantis, R. Hornsby, D. Babin, D. Guidry, P. Lambert, J. Navy and A. Williams. NAYS: None. ABSENT: None. The Chairwoman declared the motion adopted.

ORDINANCE NO. 8147

AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE PARISH PRESIDENT TO ENTER INTO A PARTIAL RELEASE OF SERVITUDE WITH MATHERNE REALTY PARTNERSHIP, LLC IN EXCHANGE FOR CERTAIN CONSIDERATION.

WHEREAS, Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government (TPCG) received a proposal from Matherne Realty Partnership, LLC, (Matherne) requesting that TPCG execute a waiver and partial release of servitude on certain property owned by Matherne Realty Partnership in exchange for Matherne granting a utility and drainage servitude in a location more suitable for the orderly development of Matherne’s property; and 35

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

WHEREAS, TPCG having reviewed the proposal, in light of its current and projected drainage and utility needs and considering the desire of TPCG to facilitate economic development in Terrebonne Parish and to clarify any alleged title issues associated with the original A & K servitude, TPCG recommends that the Parish execute an act of partial release of servitude in favor of Matherne, as more fully described on Attachment “I”, upon Matherne granting a sufficient utility and drainage servitude in a different location, said servitude more fully described on Attachment “II”; and

WHEREAS, TPCG believes this exchange of servitudes serves a public purpose and is not gratuitous; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Terrebonne Parish Council, on behalf of the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government, that the Parish President, Michel H. Claudet, be and he is hereby authorized to enter into an act of partial release of servitude with Matherne, in substantially the same form as found in Attachment “I”, upon Matherne granting a utility and drainage servitude in a location more suitable for the orderly development of Matherne’s property, in substantially the same form as Attachment “II”.

* * * * * * * * *

Ms. B. Amedée moved, seconded by Ms. C. Duplantis, “THAT, the Council continue with the regular order of business.”

The Chairwoman called for a report on the Public Services Committee meeting held on 06/25/12, whereupon the Committee Chairwoman, noting that ratification of the minutes calls a public hearing on 07/11/12, rendered the following:

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE

JUNE 25, 2012

The Chairwoman, Christa M. Duplantis, called the Public Services Committee meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. in the Terrebonne Parish Council Meeting Room with an Invocation offered by B. Amedée and the Pledge of Allegiance led by P. Lambert. Upon roll call, Committee Members recorded as present were: B. Amedẻe, D. Babin, C. Duplantis, D. Guidry, Capt. Greg Hood, Sr., HPD Ret., R. Hornsby, P. Lambert, J. Navy, and A. Williams. A quorum was declared present.

The Chairwoman recognized Ms. Betty Henry, local resident, who presented photographs of a shell road and ditch extending from East Park Avenue to the Intracoastal Canal, and noted she has been affected by dust from the vehicular roadway. She inquired as to why she was not notified of the roadway’s construction; added that the structural foundation of her home and pool deck have been affected by the vibrations; and requested assistance to resolve these problems.

Planning & Zoning Director Patrick Gordon stated that Administration has spoken with Ms. Henry; that the “shell roadway” is actually a driveway leading to the industrial facility located along the Intracoastal Canal; that the driveway is a 50-foot right-of-way which is part of the Village East Industrial Park Master Plan; that the right-of-way has been in existence for several years; that when Ms. Henry purchased her property, the 50-ft. corridor was left open to provide ingress and egress to the rear property; that Lowland Construction Company developed the property to the rear of Ms. Henry’s property; that the matter was submitted to the Houma- Terrebonne Regional Planning Commission, however the application was withdrawn due to the owner and developer entering into a lease agreement rather than having lots of record. Mr. Gordon noted that notification was sent to some of the residents in the Village East Subdivision and that no notification was sent to Ms. Henry due to the driveway not being a part of the division of property. He continued that Village East Realty (Woodsie Cenac) and Lowland Construction were contacted to determine if the driveway could be hard surfaced, controlling the dust, and any future plans for the rear property. Mr. Gordon stated that there may be some civil action remedy that Ms. Henry could seek in a court of law and that there are no Parish regulations that could be applied to resolve the matter.

Committee Member D. Babin suggested that the Committee consider sending letters to Village East Realty and Lowland Construction Company requesting that they spray the shell dirt roadway with calcium chloride to settle the dust emission.

Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock stated that the Committee can request that the driveway be sprayed and that Ms. Henry may file a civil environmental nuisance tort against the owners for air pollution.

Ms. Henry interjected that she has made several attempts to contact Village East Realty and Lowland Construction Company to which no response has been received.

Mr. D. Babin moved, seconded by Mr. D. Guidry, “THAT, the Public Services Committee direct the Council Clerk to send a letter to Village East Realty and Lowland Construction Company requesting that the aforementioned private driveway be sprayed with calcium chloride to prevent air pollution emissions and that speeding concerns be addressed.” (**MOTION AMENDED AND ADOPTED AFTER DISCUSSION)

Committee Member A. Williams suggested that Committee Member J. Navy, Ms. Henry, Village East Realty, and Lowland Construction meet to discuss and resolve the air pollution emissions instead of the Council taking formal action.

Committee Member D. Babin reiterated the aforementioned motion, noting that the health, safety, and welfare of citizens should take precedence over private concerns.

Mr. D. Babin offered an amendment, seconded by Mr. D. Guidry, “THAT, the Public Services Committee, in the event that a meeting to resolve speeding and dust control problems between all interested parties regarding the shell driveway extending from East Park Avenue to the Intracoastal Canal proves to be unsuccessful, directs the Council Clerk to send a letter to 37

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

Village East Realty and to Lowland Construction Company requesting consideration of spraying the shell driveway with calcium chloride to prevent dust emissions and to address speeding concerns.”

The Chairwoman called for the vote on the motion offered by Mr. D. Babin. UPON ROLL CALL THERE WAS RECORDED: YEAS: B. Amedẻe, D. Babin, C. Duplantis, D. Guidry, G. Hood, R. Hornsby, P. Lambert, and J. Navy. NAYS: A. Williams. ABSENT: None. The Chairwoman declared the motion adopted.

Mr. J. Navy moved, seconded by Mr. G. Hood, “THAT, the Public Services Committee direct Administration to install ‘Children-at-Play’ signs at the beginning of Riley Drive.” (**MOTION ADOPTED AFTER DISCUSSION)

Parish President Michel Claudet stated that Administration, historically, places “Children-at-Play” signs only around playgrounds; that installation of the aforementioned signs would be a deviation from normal Administrative practices; that speed limits are normally reduced around playgrounds; and that the Uniform Manual on Traffic Control Devices indicates that the use of warning signs should be kept to a minimum, as the unnecessary use of warning signs tends to breed disregard for all warning signs. He noted the costs associated with installing and maintaining signs.

Committee Member R. Hornsby expressed his concern with regards to the over abundance of signs and the disregard of warnings if too many signs are installed.

**The Chairwoman called for the vote on the motion offered by Mr. J. Navy. UPON ROLL CALL THERE WAS RECORDED: YEAS: C. Duplantis, G. Hood, P. Lambert, J. Navy, and A. Williams. NAYS: B. Amedée, D. Babin, D. Guidry, and R. Hornsby. ABSENT: None. The Chairwoman declared the motion adopted.

Committee Member R. Hornsby stated that although there is a litter problem along Lee Avenue near the playground, installation of litter signs will not solve the problem due to the litterers’ disregard for the law. He stated that an unmarked police patrol unit could instead be stationed in the area to address littering concerns.

Mr. J. Navy moved, seconded by Ms. A. Williams, “THAT, the Public Services Committee direct Administration to install ‘No Littering’ signs midway along Short, Myles, and Schley Streets.”

The Chairwoman called for the vote on the motion offered by Mr. J. Navy. UPON ROLL CALL THERE WAS RECORDED: YEAS: C. Duplantis, G. Hood, Navy, and A. Williams. NAYS: B. Amedée, D. Babin, D. Guidry, P. Lambert, and R. Hornsby. ABSENT: None. The Chairwoman declared the motion as failed.

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012

Committee Member A. Williams inquired about the possibility of the Council hiring its own part-time grantswriter.

Parish President Michel Claudet stated that each Parish department has been tasked with writing its own grant applications; that there has been a significant decrease in Federal and State grant opportunities; and that the Parish’s grantswriter position has been terminated due to the lack of grant opportunities. Committee Member J. Navy noted difficulties in writing grant applications if an individual is not proliferate in such, and noted that many of the Parish grants are extensions of existing grants.

Committee Member G. Hood suggested that if a grantswriter is considered for hiring, that the grantswriter include the cost for their services within each grant application.

He added that Citizens Inquiry Coordinator Doug Bourg currently inputs data on the public access channel and that he should be contacted to place notices on TPTV. (NO ACTION TAKEN)

In response to questioning by Committee Member C. Duplantis, Parish Attorney Courtney Alcock stated that previous sections of the nuisance abatement ordinance will remain in effect as written; that the maximum 70-decibel level remains unchanged for unpermitted events; that Administration will have the ability to establish decibel levels for specific events that are issued a sound permit; and that sound permits are issued for temporary events.

Planning & Zoning Director Patrick Gordon stated that the maximum decibel regulation was not part of the amended ordinance; that any temporary event with noise emission that exceeds 70 decibels at 25 feet from the property line will require a permit; that Administration has the ability to set a maximum decibel level that may exceed 70 decibels at present through the

REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27, 2012 permit process; and that law enforcement personnel can use discretion with regards to the decibel level.

Houma Police Captain Milton Wolfe, Jr. noted that the Police Department has responded to excessive noise complaints regarding bars along Main Street; that warnings have been issued, and that summonses are issued thereafter if the establishment does not comply.

Mr. Gordon stated that bars are not covered under the permit regulations because they are not temporary in nature, and therefore noise emissions from such places cannot exceed 70 decibels; and that any establishment exceeding the permitted decibel level can be issued a violation warning.

Committee Member J. Navy inquired about the proposed ordinance including provisions which address vulgar or obscene language, to which Mr. Gordon replied that the provisions are included in the proposed ordinance.

Committee Member G. Hood, Sr. noted that law enforcement personnel have the ability to revoke sound permits in the event that the noise emissions cause a public disturbance. He added that law enforcement personnel discretion can be evoked with or without a sound permit.

Mr. D. Babin moved, seconded by Ms. C. Duplantis, “THAT, the Policy, Procedure, & Legal Committee introduce an ordinance to amend the Parish Code regarding excessive unnecessary noise, noisemaking, and amplifying devices to provide for enforcement mechanisms, and call a public hearing on said matter on Wednesday, July 11, 201 at 6:30 p.m.”
