Police Jury Room April 16, 2018 Abbeville, Louisiana Minutes of a regular meeting of the Vermilion Parish Police Jury held on April 16, 2018, with President Kevin Sagrera presiding. The meeting was called to order by President Mr. Kevin Sagrera, who asked Mr. Ronald Darby to lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Following the pledge, the President asked Mr. Paul Moresi, III for a moment of prayer or reflection. The President then reminded all present to turn all cell phones, pagers, etc. off or set to silent mode for the duration of the Police Jury Meeting. The following members were present: Mr. Dane Hebert Mr. Brent Landry Mr. Wayne Touchet Mr. Paul Bourgeois Mr. Kevin Sagrera, Ex- Officio Mr. Pervis Gaspard Mr. Leon Broussard Mr. Jason Picard Mr. Ronald Darby Mr. Sandrus Stelly Mr. Errol J. Domingues Mr. Ronald Menard Mr. Cloris J. Boudreaux Absent: Mr. Mark Poche' Guest: Mr. Eugene Sellers, Sr. Mr. Todd Vincent Mr. Kim Touchet President Sagrera recognized a period for public comment on any agenda item to be considered. Upon motion by Mr. Ronald Menard, duly seconded by Mr. Cloris Boudreaux, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve to amend the agenda to allow Mr. Larry Rader to speak. Mr. Larry Rader stated thank you guys. I really do appreciate it. Thank you for this opportunity, Mr. President, to be able to speak to you all. Once again my name is Larry Rader and I am a candidate for U.S. Congress for the 3rd Congressional District. Just to bring it down memory lane, just for a moment, I want to sort of tell you who I am and where I originated from. I am from a small community Jeanerette, LA, born and raised. Graduated from high school 1971. Joined the United States Airforce. I am a Vietnam Air Veteran. I served at NKP Thailand in 1972. I got out of the military and attended the University of Southwestern Louisiana, better known now as ULL. From there I went offshore for Shell Oil Company. I worked for Shell about ten years and then decided to go into business for myself. That is where I am parked now. I have opened up a couple of retail shops in New Iberia and from there I went into the insurance industry. That is where I am parked. Part of the reason I am running for Congress is because I would love to be able to have the 1

opportunity ( 1) to earn your vote and ( 2) once I get there to explain to you basically what I hope to accomplish by diversifying our economy. Which I think we really need to do at this point in time. I am going to talk about the back side of the business card I gave you' ll, six bullet points. I want to talk about the first one. The first one to me is the most important. What I hope to do is to diversify the economy by investing in green energy. Placing solar panels on the top of elderly people' s homes because a lot of those individuals are having to make a choice between buying food, medicine and paying the light bill. So how do we do that? How do we do something like that? Here is the way I figure in my mind it could be done. Currently those that are incarcerated are making license plates. Why not teach them how to make solar panels. Teach them a trade, a skill, something they can do when they get out of the prison system. This way they can find a job and pay taxes rather than break in stores or steal a hose out of your yard or break in your car. They will have something to do that is worthwhile, a good high paying job. Those are the things I hope to accomplish. One of the other things I would like to talk about the last bullet point is mental health. As we all know the incident that happened in Florida with the little kids where that AR 15 was used. I know they have some controversy going around talking about lets arm the teachers and let' s arm the students. I think it is a mental health problem and we need to get back to what we used to do years ago. Let' s put a licensed professional in our schools at all times. This way these kids when they have a problem they could easily go and talk with someone to sort of work their problems out rather than picking up a weapon. Gentlemen, ladies, my name is Larry Rader and I am running for the 3` d District for US Congress November 06, 2018. Please consider me. Thank you very much. President Sagrera recognized Time on the Agenda, discuss overflow at the Vermilion Parish Law Enforcement Center. Mr. Wayne Touchet stated overflow is under budget Mr. President. President Sagrera recognized Reading or Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting Regular Meeting of April 02, 2018). Upon motion by Mr. Leon Broussard, duly seconded by Mr. Sandrus Stelly, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve to dispense of the reading of Regular Meeting minutes of April 02, 2018. President Sagrera recognized to consider action to amend the agenda to discuss and consider actions on any new items presented by Engineering and Architectural reports. Upon motion by Mr. Ronald Darby, duly seconded by Mr. Pervis Gaspard, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve to amend the agenda to discuss and consider actions on any new items presented by Engineering and Architectural reports. Mr. Gene Sellers, SR, Sellers & Associates, stated at the last meeting you authorized us to get quotes for closing in a gap at the Solid Waste Plant. We had two concrete walls and we were going to close the gap so we could stack more material. I received three quotes and after discussing this with Keith it was decided we would put this on hold and see how the final configuration of the shredding will take place before we embark on closing that gap. We are not going to do that at this 2

time. Sometime back you' ll authorized us to install an alternative method of regulating the pumps at the Law Enforcement Center at the new pump station. As we reported to you at that time that we were getting a lot of paper trash into the waste system. It was clogging the method that was being used by floats to put the pumps on and off to regulate the height of the sewage going into the treatment plant. We have gotten a quote from Superior Electric Service for $3, 798. 20. Since that time we thought that we would have a backup system by utilizing the electronic system but then salvaging the float system by just putting a different control system to control one method or the other. We modified the control system to where you could flip a switch and be on the electronic float method or be on the floating balls to start the motor. It cost a little more to do that. I think the total amount adding those items will be $ 5, 816. 20, which is like two thousand more than the original proposal that we had. We would like to recommend the approval of the bill that totals 5, 816.20. Upon motion by Mr. Leon Broussard, duly seconded by Mr. Paul Bourgeois, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve payment of Invoice No. 3917, Superior Electrical Service, LLC, dated March 13, 2018, in the amount of$ 5, 816. 20, in regards to Vermilion Parish Correctional Facility- Waste Water Plant. Mr. Gene Sellers, SR stated we have a request for a Pipeline Permit from S2 Energy Operating, LLC, Louisiana Pipeline, Election District No. 14 and it is issued as Permit No. 1794- P. Upon motion by Mr. Leon Broussard, duly seconded by Mr. Sandrus Stelly, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve Pipeline Permit No. 1794- P, S2 Energy Operating, LLC, to install a flowline northwest of Kaplan, LA, Election District No. 14. President Sagrera recognized Mr. Hebert joining the meeting. Mr. Todd Vincent, Sellers & Associates, stated I have a Contract Change Order No. 2 for the LCDBG 2016 Water Distribution Project. This is in the Gueydan area, Phase I and it is basically complete. The Change Order is to adjust the contract quantities to match the actual constructed quantities. We have sixty- one items we are adjusting. It also adds eight automatic flush and risers. The project was under budget so we were able to add some automatic hydrants in the project. The total Change Order is a decrease of$82, 571. 30. Upon motion by Mr. Leon Broussard, duly seconded by Mr. Jason Picard, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury approve the LCDBG 2016 Water Distribution Project-Phase I, Gueydan, Change Order No. 2 is a decrease of$ 82, 571. 30, to adjust the contract quantities to match the actual constructed quantities, sixty-one items, and adds eight automatic flush and risers, automatic hydrants. Mr. Todd Vincent stated on the same project I also have an Estimate for Partial Payment No. 10 which is paying the contractor for work completed through April 13th in the amount of 25, 699.94 and that is to Janco Construction. President Sagrera stated same motion? Motion carried. 3

I also have a resolution of acceptance authorizing the President to execute an act of acceptance from Janco Water Division on the same project. President Sagrera stated same motion. Mr. Todd Vincent stated one more thing. Today we had a discussion with GOHSEP. As you recall we were procured in 2013 for your grant management services related to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. What we have done is when you authorize an application, we have prepared the application. When the project was funded we prepared a contract at that time. Well now for whatever reason they are saying they want to see a contract for the application prior to the project being developed. So they requested we execute a contract with the Police Jury going back to that time to memorialize the agreement between the Parish and our firm. So.we had a late conference call. I think I have it taken care of but I would like to request authorization for this agreement if it is so required by GOHSEP for that program. Upon motion by Mr. Ronald Darby, duly seconded by Mr. Ronald Menard, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury authorizes Sellers & Associates to draw up a contract between the Police Jury and Sellers & Associates for GOHSEP. Mr. Gene Sellers, JR, The Sellers Group, stated Dane asked that I come to give a report or update on the County Agents Project. That project is finally progressing somewhat. They are still behind time. Based on his original schedule which didn' t include any weather days that he incurred. I think he is about two to three months behind schedule. Probably closer to three in my opinion. He had never requested any weather related delays, which he is obligated to be able to get. So I asked him to put together a list of those days and he has given me eight months of weather delay request, back from when the job started in August. Normally we like to present them quarterly but he did get me all the documentation and backup data. I do have all that and have gone over it. The job started in August. So we had eight months and he wants eight months already? Mr. Gene Sellers, JR stated no he is asking for time. The specs allow a certain amount of weather delays. It depends on what you are doing at the time as to whether if it rains more than that you are obligated to give them an extension of time. If the weather doesn' t affect what he is doing then obviously it wouldn' t matter. Like if he is only working inside of the building but when he was doing his dirt work and all we had quite a bit of days that would be considered inclement weather. In that eight month period, we double checked all his reports and did research, he has one hundred and six days documented as adverse weather delays. The specs allow fifty-four in that time period. So in the eight months he would be obligated to get an extension of fifty-two days which is just shy of two months. It seems like a lot because he is asking for eight months at a time. It is about six or seven days per month that he is requesting when you count it. Some months had zero days. I still don' t think he is working as hard as he needs to be. He still is going to be a month behind and there is liquidated damages in the contract that you could charge him if he is late and I have stressed to him that he needs to accelerate his schedule to make up that time. Which he has said he will make up. Still based on the contract and if he documents more than the anticipated days, which quite frankly aren' t that much if you are working in the dirt, that you would be granting 4

him an extension. So my recommendation of his one hundred and six days of documented would be fifty-two days for the eight month period. Again, I still think he is behind and I don' t know that he going to make it up. He recently fired his Superintendent. So the original completion date would have been June 26th and this would give him fifty-two days, August 18, 2018. August 18, 2018 would be his new completion date. Discussion. Mr. Paul Moresi, III stated the Public Bid Law says that if you have a contractor who does not perform in a prior project and it doesn' t have to be for this public body. The water district or some other public bodies that he had problems with declared him a non-responsible bidder. He was the low bidder but they rejected it and sent it to the next lowest bidder. I am unclear whether we are talking about one or two contractors here but either one of them can be rejected Mr. Gene Sellers, JR stated the masonry guy is a sub- contractor of the general contractor. The general contractor had him correct his stuff. I think his superintendent was not very qualified to run the job and that is probably why he had some issues so we made them redo it. The Superintendent was recently fired. Mr. Paul Moresi, III stated so the contractor, like your road contractor that you are having all of these problems with there is no doubt in my mind that if he bid again, you can' t stop him from bidding, but if he is the low bidder then you can declare at that point that he is non-responsible and throw it out and go to the next lowest bidder. The real interesting question that I never researched is whether or not there is a sub, for example when people put in bids they might not even know who their subs are going to be. So you accept the lowest bidder and then he goes and hires a sub. I am not sure how you control that. Gene do you have any experience? Mr. Gene Sellers, JR stated yes, and a lot of times a contractor will take sub bids and they can get sub bids twenty minutes before the job bids. Better contractors have a list a people that they will not take bids from certain people because they have a history with them. This newer contractor, this guy used to work for Thompson Brothers which was a pretty good contractor, he left and started his own company. This is probably one of his newer jobs. Mr. Errol Domingues stated is there any way we can compile a list of subs and when we issue a bid package say who these people that did non- satisfactory work for the parish and we will consider there portion of the bid non-responsive. Mr. Paul Moresi, III stated that is a good question. I don' t think you can have an approved list of subs but I do think the main contractor can be held responsible for the work of his sub. I just don' t know how to control this. This has a contractor sub and the sub is bad, you don' t let this guy bid anymore. But the next guy bids and he hires the same sub, I don' t know how you control that one. Mr. Gene Sellers, JR stated and look I hear you. It just makes our job more difficult. We would love to have top notch contractors on every job. Mr. Errol Domingues stated but when the public looks at us and I am hearing people with the 4-H organization who are curious about the update on the building. So then I will go back and tell 5

them oh he requested one hundred and eight days and we granted him fifty-two days. I know what Andrew is going to say. Errol there is sometimes two weeks go by and I don' t even see them. Then they come here for one day and goes ten days I don' t see them. Upon motion by Mr. Errol Domingues, duly seconded by Mr. Wayne Touchet, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury authorize Legal Counsel to research on the non-responsive sub- contractors.

Mr. Wayne Touchet stated I have one item. We have talked about Diamond B at the last meeting that if it was within the bounds of the contract that we could demand him to be finished the project by five o' clock today.

Mr. Gene Sellers, SR stated the contract says that he has to start within three days or we can get someone else to do it. He started within three days, he is not finished but he started within three days and I think he had rain days that happened to him in those days but he is beyond that.

President Sagrera recognized Legal Counsel Business, Mr. Moresi. Mr. Paul Moresi, III, Legal Counsel, stated I received a call from a gentleman by the name of Kenneth Frith. I think he is in Kevin' s District. He owns an interested in a lot, he bought a lot in Big Woods Subdivision, Lot No. 1. It turns out that at some point in the past, 2013, a very small piece of the lot was adjudicated with the tax sale. There were no bids and it was adjudicated to the parish. The law is clear that if it is adjudicated to a public body, up until the time the public body actually takes action it is still subject to be redeemed. He wants to redeem it. Obviously, he would have to pay all of the taxes, interest and penalty from 2014 to the present. The Sheriff Departments Tax Department is saying they need something from the Police Jury saying you' ll have no 12

objection for it. I looked at the law carefully and there is no question he has the right to do it. So I would suggest to you, if you are inclined to do it, is to do a Letter of No Objection that we can send to the Sheriff's Tax Department that you have no objections to Mr. Frith redeeming it and paying all the fees and everything else that is due. Upon motion by Mr. Pervis Gaspard, duly seconded by Mr. Errol Domingues, and unanimously carried, the Police Jury adopted a resolution approving a letter of no objection relative to the request ofmr. and Mrs. Kenneth Frith regarding property that was the subject of adjudication to the Police Jury, being Lot 1 and Lot 4 of the subdivision of lot 2 of Big Woods, located in Section 65, Township 14 South, Range 3 East, Vermilion Parish. The Police Jury does not object to the redemption of the aforementioned properties after the payment of all taxes, penalties, interest, fees, or other costs to the tax collector, and authorizing legal counsel to draft said letter of no objection and to transmit same to the sheriff for further handling.
