Loss Of Nobility?

In the early evening of December 26, 2013, while still embracing the solemnity of Christmas, and the holiday mood of food, gift giving and warmth of family, the unimaginable happened. A 4th generation Cajun, while complexioned, Judaeo Christian raised, English speaking, Lafourche Parish schooled and medically educated, 38 year old male nurse methodically “conducted” multiple, bone chilling, nefarious acts of violence that we will spend our lives trying to comprehend. His wife of 6 months died; the spirit and soul of Holy Savior Elementary School, “Pixie”, died; her husband Philip, and 35year-old daughter Andrea, were gravely injured. Subsequently, within additional minutes, our St. Anne Hospital Administrator, Milton Bourgeois violently died and his wife Ann, was injured by this same individual, who ultimately ended his own life by a selfinflicted injury. These horrifying actions paralyzed the majority of the medical communities of Lafourche and Terrebonne’s hospitals for hours, and mobilized all of the area’s law enforcement personnel, until there was a conclusion to this man’s actions. But, also paralyzed, was our spirit of security, our sense of trust, our innocent way of life on Bayou Lafourche, and the confidence in life’s fairness. So many things were taken from those individuals who uselessly died, and those who have been severely injured. And, as well, so much has been taken from us, who knew them, who worked with them, depended on them, and expected their continued presence in our community. In William Bennett’s book, the Death of Outrage,

he points out, “that in event after event, Americans see moral purpose as defining our highest goals and achievements. Americans agree overwhelming, about the importance of moral matters, caring about problems of moral decline, drug use, collapsing families, callousness, vulgarity, and incivility.” Eighty-seven percent of the public fear that something is fundamentally wrong with America’s moral condition, according to pollster Daniel Yankelovich. Author John Updike mentions, “the fact that…we still live well, cannot ease the pain of feeling, that we no longer live nobly. If our children have not learned to walk in goodness, justice and mercy, then the American experiment, however gilded, will have become a failure.” We take so much for granted, forgetting that the gift of life has been given to us by God.

BRIEF

NADA: New car sales expected to rise 5.8 percent

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Boosted by rising employment, home values and housing construction, Americans will buy 16.4 million new cars and light trucks this year. That’s the prediction from the National Automobile Dealers Association, which is meeting in New Orleans. Economist Steve Szakaly says the 5.8 expected increase will mark the sixth year of recovery from the financial crash and automotive bankruptcies. Jonathan Banks, analyst for the group’s Used Car Guide, says those years of new-car buying and leasing will push prices down for recent-model used cars and trucks, averaging 2.5 percent less than last year’s prices. He says 5- to 8year-old vehicles remain scarce because few people bought cars during the recession. Those prices are likely to be flat.

He says used-car prices are likely to be slightly lower than last year’s. ___

Changes proposed for La. seafood law

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is seeking public input on proposed changes to the state Wild Seafood Certification Program. A public meeting on the proposal will be held Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. at the agency’s headquarters, 2000 Quail Drive in Baton Rouge. The changes involve product registration requirements for retail packages, supply chain verification process and guidelines for logo use. The proposals can be viewed at www.doa.louisiana.gov/osr /reg/register.htm. ___

Lawmakers use amnesty to offset budget deficit

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The state’s operating budget is back in balance, after lawmakers agreed to use nearly $32 million from Louisiana’s recent tax amnesty period to plug a deficit. The shortfall stemmed

from a revision in the state’s income estimates, because of worse-than-expected tax collections in the current fiscal year that ends June 30. But rather than have to make cuts, the state had unspent cash from the amnesty program that could be used. Lawmakers on the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget agreed to the deficit-filling plan without objection Friday, swapping out dollars in the state health department budget to make the accounting work. It was the first time in six years that Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration didn’t have to make midyear cuts to rebalance the state budget. ___

8-man football could be small schools option

MONROE, La. (AP) — If principals vote for it and at least 16 schools agree to field teams, small high schools in Louisiana could be playing 8-man football in 2015. The proposal before the Louisiana High School Athletic Association would limit participation to Class B and C schools with fewer than 236 students. They would have to choose between 11player district football and 8-man football in a single statewide division. Participating schools would be classified as nonfootball schools. If at least 32 teams participate, there would be a 16-team playoff bracket. If 16 to 31 teams participate, there would be an eight-team playoff bracket. The News-Star reports that northeast Louisiana principals like the idea. The LHSAA convention opens Wednesday in Baton Rouge. ___

Bribery trial opens for ex-New Orleans mayor

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jury selection has begun in the trial of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who faces charges that he accepted bribes and free trips among other things from contractors in exchange for helping them secure millions of dollars in city work. Selection in the federal trial began Monday morning. Nagin, a Democrat who was mayor when Hurricane Katrina stuck in 2005, served two terms before leaving office in 2010. He was living in a Dallas suburb when a federal grand jury indicted him a year ago. Each bribery count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Each wire fraud count is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. The charges are the product of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in several convictions or guilty pleas by former Nagin associates. ___

Class action status denied in school funding suit

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Baton Rouge judge has refused to give class action status to a lawsuit claiming the state’s public school funding formulas were not properly approved by lawmakers for three years. The decision means that any of the state’s 69 local school boards who don’t seek to become plaintiffs in the lawsuit could risk losing out on millions of dollars if the lawsuit is successful. Judge Michael Caldwell said Monday that he has problems forcing a political body, like a school board, to be part of a lawsuit if those elected officials don’t want to be included. He also said he doesn’t think the legal requirements for class action status were met. The lawsuit was filed by the St. John the Baptist Parish School Board and the Louisiana Association of Educators.

Vision Communication continues annual Sheets for Schools paper donation drive

Vision Communications continues to provide support to local schools by providing cases of muchneeded copy paper to the schools in their service territory. According to Jean Orgeron-Wells, Marketing Coordinator, “The past donations were so well received and appreciated by the administration and teachers, we were very happy to continue to help with the education of the students in our community.â€? One administrator is quoted as saying, “We appreciate this much more than you know. Teachers actually go out and purchase paper in order to print out all the parent communication, tests, reports, etc. Thank you again!!â€? Vision Communications sought the assistance of Callais Office Supply in the delivery of 176 cases of paper being donated to the 17 local schools in their service territory. The following schools received 11 cases of paper each: Cut Off Elementary, Galliano Elementary, Golden Meadow Lower Elementary, Golden Meadow Upper Elementary, Golden Meadow Middle School, Grand Isle, Holy Rosary Catholic, Larose Lower Elementary, Larose Upper Elementary, LCO Middle, South Lafourche High, The Center, Lockport Lower, Lockport Middle, Lockport Upper, Central Lafourche High, and Holy Savior Catholic.

Analysis From 1-A

Others considered possible candidates include Republican state Treasurer John Kennedy and Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, also in the GOP. Another name included in polls about the governor’s race is New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, a Democrat. With so many elected officials announced or considering the Oct. 24, 2015, election, the political posturing is bound to spill over into the upcoming legislative session that begins in March and that will become the focal point of Louisiana politics for months. Vitter’s political organization, the Louisiana Committee for a Republican Majority, helped elect many of the state’s GOP lawmakers, so he can influence debate through his allies. Plus, it’s likely he’ll want to be more visible weighing in on state-specific issues now that he’s running for governor, rather than just focusing on the gridlock of Congress. Dardenne has his allies at the Louisiana Capitol as well and has kept his name in the newspapers through budget disagreements with Jindal and other pieces of legislation. His background as a former state senator gives him an ease of knowing the ins and outs of state government, in case he’s interested in broadening his talking points as he moves toward the more public phase of a gubernatorial campaign. Edwards will continue to use the debates of the legislative session and his policy arguments to gain name recognition, to solidify support among core Democratic constituencies and to try building up fundraising interest from potential donors. Whether he’s in the race or not, Kennedy regularly makes his opinions known about the goings-on of the Jindal administration, the Legislature and other entities across state government. He’s been very effective in parlaying an office that can be overlooked into an attention-grabbing position with frequent commentaries on the finances of state government. If Kennedy wants to run for governor, expect he’ll do more of the same to keep his name in the headlines. With so many Republicans as possible candidates, the jockeying for campaign contributions will be intense since they’ll be trying to coax out donations from the same pool of givers. That could help Edwards, who is the only one so far competing for the Democratic dollars. But he could find a slimmer list of potential contributors in a state where Democrats have been losing voters and Republicans have taken over nearly all the state’s top elected positions. Political calculating continues behind the scenes for a race that’s nearly two years away and that’s influencing decisionmaking among elected officials. Vitter’s announcement that he will be a candidate simply draws public attention to the jockeying that has been underway. ___ EDITOR’S NOTE: Melinda Deslatte covers Louisiana politics for The Associated Press.

SL teams fall short, CL boys pull off a win Casey Gisclair Contributing Writer

South Lafourche girls’ basketball coach Rainie Stevens knew her team had to play its best to survive a week with powerhouses Destrehan and Thibodaux on the schedule. The Lady Tarpons played hard, fought tough, but ultimately couldn’t stay within striking distance of the two teams that will likely finish first and second in the Bayou District race. South Lafourche struggled to control the tempo against both Destrehan and Thibodaux, falling 67-37 to the Lady Wildcats and 5928 to the Lady Tigers – both games played at the Tarpons’ gym in Galliano. The losses all-but assure the Lady Tarpons are out of the running for the Bayou District crown. But with playoff implications still present in the back-half of the district season, Stevens said she is stressing to her team the importance of finishing the season strong. “We are not down at all,” Stevens said. “We told the girls that from here on out, we need to play every game like it’s the last game of the season. Our team has heart and we will bounce back from this.” An inability to control the tempo is what plagued the Lady Tarpons in their tough week. Against Destrehan last Tuesday night, the Lady Wildcats used full court pressure and precision shooting to take a big lead and never look back. Destrehan led by double digits at halftime and ballooned the lead out of reach in the third quarter. Savannah LeBlanc led the Lady Tarpons in scoring with 13 points. Fallon Chiasson and Caroline Guilbeau each pitched in 10. Three days later against Thibodaux, the script started the same, as the Lady Tigers rolled to a ninepoint lead after the first quarter of play. But South Lafourche showed fight and took the lead in the second quarter before seeing Thibodaux make a run of its own to retake the lead at halftime. But the Lady Tarpons couldn’t carry their momentum into the second half and were blasted by the Lady Tigers. Thibodaux outscored South Lafourche by 24 points in the final 16 minutes of play – enough to make the fourth quarter a battle of the backups.

The Lady Tigers scored 18-straight points in a third quarter surge to put the game away for good. Stevens credited both Thibodaux and Destrehan for taking South Lafourche out of its rhythm in the two games. She said that in the future, the Lady Tarpons have to better control the tempo against quality foes. “Going forward, all we can do is make teams play our game, and we need to control the tempo of the game,” Stevens said. “We need to play the way we are capable of playing.” SL boys struggle, fall to Destrehan, Thibodaux The story was just about the same for the Tarpons’ boys – tempo. When South Lafourche played its pace, they had success against both Destrehan and Thibodaux – the opponents of the week. But it didn’t happen as often as coach Bryan Callais would have liked, as the Tarpons fell 51-42 to Destrehan on Tuesday and 6337 to Thibodaux on Friday night. Against Destrehan, missed opportunities plagued South Lafourche. The Tarpons pushed the game into the fourth quarter with the Wildcats holding a single digit lead. But a combination of missed free throws, missed layups and costly turnovers plagued South Lafourche’s attempt at a rally. The Tarpons had countless empty fourth quarter possessions in crunch time – opportunities that could have swung the game. But at the end of the day, the Wildcats carried the lead into the final minutes, then grew it to the final margin with free throws and timely rebounding. Against Thibodaux, the Tarpons looked prime to avenge that loss to Destrehan. South Lafourche controlled the clock and scoreboard in the first quarter en route to a 8-2 lead. But in the second quarter, the Tigers found back and pounded South Lafourche 22-4 to give Thibodaux a lead they would never relinquish in victory. Harvey led the Tarpons with 13 points in defeat. The Tarpons and Lady Tarpons will play road tilts this week against Hahnville on Tuesday and East St. John on Friday. Central boys win in sleet-altered week

The Central Lafourche boys stayed hot this week. The only thing that could cool off their winning streak was a dose of hard luck from Mother Nature. The Trojans pushed their district winning streak to three on Tuesday night, trouncing Terrebonne 73-47 in a home contest. Their scheduled Friday night game with Hahnville was moved to Monday night because of icy conditions in St. Charles Parish. The score for that game was unavailable at press-time. Central didn’t waste time pouring it onto the Tigers, pounding Terrebone 24-6 in the first quarter to grab firm control of the game from the get-go. After taking a 40-23 advantage into halftime, the Trojans further extended the lead to blowout status in the second half. Quade Williams led the Trojans in the rout with 17 points. But unfortunately for Central Lafourche, the boys’ win wasn’t part of a varsity sweep for the Trojans. In the girl’s game between Terrebonne and Central Lafourche, the Lady Tigers and Lady Trojans battled until the final whistle. But Terrebonne prevailed when the clock ticked to zero, scoring a 40-38 win. The loss drops Central Lafourche to 0-7 in district play.

Frozen Big Apple on menu for Broncos, Seahawks Wednesday, January 29, 2014 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — An icy wind made its way through the Meadowlands, cut across the Hudson River and into frigid Manhattan. Looks like Mother Nature is taking seriously the NFL’s slogan for the upcoming Super Bowl: Best Served Cold. One week before kickoff, on the day the Broncos and Seahawks arrived in the frozen Big Apple, Sunday brought a bit of a thaw. Temperatures actually reached the low 20s. Hardly balmy. Not that the guys who will take the field at MetLife Stadium have any complaints or concerns. They’d play this one on the New Jersey tundra or in Death Valley. “My team is excited,” Peyton Manning said after the Broncos’ flight landed in New Jersey. “We worked hard to earn this opportunity. We couldn’t be more excited. “We were excited getting on that plane and excited getting off that plane.” What the Broncos and Seahawks must understand is that the upcoming week is unlike anything else they experienced during the season. Or during any season. More media, for sure. A

BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

glaring spotlight on everything. Spending a week away from home. Practicing in another team’s facility: the Seahawks at the Giants’ complex across the parking lots from MetLife Stadium, the Broncos at the Jets’ place in Florham Park, about 30 minutes from the Meadowlands. Both coaches, Denver’s John Fox and Seattle’s Pete Carroll, expressed concern about the outdoor practice fields being covered with snow or frozen. Neither sounded eager about working indoors the entire week. Just another inconvenience that goes along with the Super Bowl, although the NFL said the outdoor fields will be available for practices. “Our mentality is strong,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “I think we know how to play in games like this. Hopefully we will be able to maintain that mentality that allows us to do the things we do.” Not one regular Seahawks player has been this far, giving Denver something of an edge in experience. The Broncos have four: receiver Wes Welker, tight end Jacob Tamme, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and

some quarterback named Peyton. Manning, of course, is the only current Bronco to have won a ring, with Indianapolis in 2007. He also lost the Super Bowl in 2010 to the Saints when he was with the Colts. “The Super Bowl is a big deal,” he said. “I know how hard it is to get here. I know the sacrifice the team made.” That they will sacrifice the comfort of playing in a dome, or in a warm climate, in this Super Bowl doesn’t seem to be fazing them a bit. Instead, the Broncos want to embrace the cold, the winds, the snow — and everything else that comes along this week in the first Super Bowl ever played outdoors in a cold-weather city. “We’d love to play in 70degree weather,” said Denver 15-year veteran cornerback Champ Bailey, who has reached his first title game. “But if you tell me it’s 20 degrees and I am playing in the Super Bowl, I’m going to take it.” Welker, who lost both of his trips to the Super Bowl with the Patriots before joining the Broncos this season as a free agent, fully understands the issues that can arise this week.

Rule changes tighten reverse mortgage eligibility Wednesday, January 29, 2014 THE LAFOURCHE GAZETTE

By Jason Alderman Financial Columnist

Reverse mortgages have become increasingly popular in recent years, as cashstrapped seniors seek ways to keep pace with rising expenses – not to mention cope with the pummeling their retirement savings took during the Great Recession. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) noticed that borrowers increasingly have been opting to withdraw most or all of their home equity at closing, leaving little or nothing for future needs. Consequently, by mid2012 nearly 10 percent of reverse mortgage holders were in default and at risk of foreclosure because they couldn’t pay their taxes and insurance. That’s why Congress authorized HUD to tighten

FHA reverse mortgage requirements in order to: encourage homeowners to tap their equity more slowly; better ensure that borrowers can afford their loan’s fees and other financial obligations; and strengthen the mortgage insurance fund from which loans are drawn. Here are the key changes: Most reverse mortgage borrowers can now withdraw no more than 60 percent of their total loan during the first year. Previously, borrowers could tap the entire amount on day one – a recipe for future financial disaster for those with limited means. The first-year limit may be waived for certain homeowners whose “mandatory obligations� (e.g., upfront insurance premiums, loan origination fees, delinquent federal debt, etc.) exceed the

60 percent amount; but they’ll have to pay a higher upfront mortgage insurance premium – 2.5 percent of the home’s appraised value instead of the normal 0.5 percent. (Note: Credit card debt isn’t considered a mandatory obligation, so those with significant credit card debt may not be able to withdraw enough to pay off their debt.) Generally, borrowers can take the money either as a lump sum at closing (with a fixed-rate loan), or as an ongoing line of credit or monthly payments (adjustable rate loan). However, lump-sum payments are now subject to the 60 percent mandatory obligations test, so to withdraw more than that you’ll have to go the line-of-credit route, at least for the first year; after that, you can tap the remaining balance if you wish.

Under previous rules, almost anyone with sizeable home equity could take out a reverse mortgage. Now, potential borrowers must undergo a detailed financial assessment to ensure they’ll be able to meet future tax and insurance obligations. Lenders are required to review the borrower’s credit history. They also must analyze all income from earnings, pensions, IRAs, 401(k) plans or Social Security, and weigh it against the borrower’s likely living expenses, including other outstanding debts. Those who come up short (i.e., are more likely to default) may be required to set aside money from their reverse mortgage to cover future obligations – thereby lowering the amount of equity they’d be able to tap. The new regulations also reduce the maximum amount of home equity that can be borrowed against – 10 to 15 percent less than before, on average. GenerNorman P. Levine, Jr., 47, 808 Schlessinger St., Abbeville. St. Charles Parish warrant, suspended driver’s license. January 7, 2014 Rhea Marullo, 40, 110 Grand Isle Parkway, Grand Isle.

January 17, 2014 Erick Lopez, 20, P.O. Box 498, Grand Isle. Grand Isle warrant, contempt of court (2 cts).

ally, the older you are, the more equity you have and the lower the interest rate, the more you’ll be able to borrow. Note: The age component of this calculation is based on the youngest party listed on the loan. Because reverse mortgages are so complicated, potential borrowers are required to consult an HUDapproved counselor before being allowed to apply. Do preliminary research at

helpful sites sponsored by HUD (www.hud.gov), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (www.cfpb.gov) and AARP (www.aarp.org). Also check with an accountant, financial planner or lawyer specializing in elder law to make sure a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Volunteers needed to assist in derelict crab trap cleanup

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, along with Coastal Conservation AssociationLouisiana, Audubon Nature Institute, and Louisiana Sea Grant, will host the 2014 Derelict Crab Trap Rodeo on Saturday, February 15 from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm at Toby Voisin’s oyster dock located at the end of Hwy. 315 in Dularge. The Derelict Crap Trap Removal Program was initiated by LDWF in 2004 to remove the old and abandoned crab traps. The volunteer-based program is funded through commercial fishermen gear fees and since its inception has disposed of more than 22,000 derelict crab traps. Volunteers are encouraged to participate and are needed to assist with dockside activities such as unloading and stacking traps. The greatest need is for volunteer boat owners to help maximize trap collection. Volunteers willing to participate can view information and pre-register at http://www.laseagrant.org /crabtraps/volunteers .htm. Volunteer boat owners interested in donating and operating their boat should contact Jennifer Thomas at jkthomas@wlf.la.gov or (225) 763-3541. All volunteers receive a complimentary lunch, gift, and are entered into a raffle for a chance to win fishing and outdoor prizes. LDWF representatives and partners will be available at Toby Voisin’s oyster dock beginning at 8:30 a.m. to distribute instructions, maps, and supplies to volunteers, assist with unloading the traps, and document the number of traps removed.

Superbowl From 7-A

He and Manning, in particular, have counseled teammates on those pitfalls. “It’s knowing what to expect, trying to get rid of all the nonsense that goes with the Super Bowl,” Welker said. The Seahawks certainly didn’t find their send-off in Seattle to be nonsensical, even if it got a little “extraordinary,” as Carroll dubbed it. “At the airport, what usually takes us about one minute to get through took 20 minutes,” defensive end Cliff Avril said about the “thousands and thousands” of fans lining the bus route. “They were pretty close and we were hitting the windows inside. It was a blast.” That’s a lot of 12th Men saluting their team. “The 12s were out there in full force,” Carroll said. “The bus could go 2 miles per hour because they kind of scurried into the streets. They were not just waving, but jumping up and down and going crazy. It was kind of collegiate-like.” On Monday, with the long travel out of the way and the introductory news conferences behind them, each team gets down to the main strokes. They can’t wait. “I don’t believe in such a thing called distractions,” Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard said. “This is the moment we have got to be in. It’s what you wanted your whole life.”

In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for February 22nd. In order to conduct the clean-ups, licensed crab fishermen will receive a notice informing them that they must remove their crab traps from within the closure area during the closure period, and all remaining crab traps will be considered abandoned and may be removed by agency personnel or volunteers.

Legal advertisement OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THE GREATER LAFOURCHE PORT COMMISSION December 11, 2013

The Board of Commissioners of the Greater Lafourche Port Commission met in regular session on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 10:30 AM at the Administration Building 16829 East Main Street, Galliano, LA. President Gisclair called the meeting to order and Secretary Cheramie called roll. ATTENDED: Chuckie Cheramie, Perry Gisclair, Kris Gaudet, Wilbert Collins, Larry Griffin, John Melancon Jr., and Ervin Bruce ABSENT: Donald Vizier and Jimmy Guidry Upon motion by Melancon and second by Collins, the board unanimously approved the minutes for November 14, 2013 regular meeting. Executive Director’s Report Northern Expansion – Engineer John Plaisance reported that Johnson Bros was issued a notice of procurement to order materials and begin the test pile program for the Northern Expansion Slip C Bulkhead project. The contractor is completing the access roads and will be starting the test pile program. Engineer Joe Picciola reported that LA Contracting has completed the drainage work for the Adam “Ted� Gisclair Road Asphalt project. They are scheduled to bring in asphalt next week and should be complete by the end of this year. Airport Projects – Airport Manager Joe Wheeler reported that E.P. Breaux Electrical is ordering materials for the Glide Slope project. The generators that were funded by DOTD have been received and in storage waiting installation

of the glide slope. The Omni-Directional Approach Lighting System (ODALS) bid opening is postponed until January 10th. We have received some information from the Corps today stating that the Corps Engineering Dept. is reviewing our questions and should be done by December 18th. The Airport Master Plan Update is in the final stages. The final graphics should be complete by next week. Wheeler reported that there were 2071 aircraft operations for the month of November. FEMA Projects – Executive Director Chett Chiasson stated that he found out yesterday that the press and State will be visiting the State’s Caminada Headland’s project today. Engineer Joe Picciola reported that the final change order for the Beach Repair project is later on agenda for the additional sand and rock dike of $345,058.73. The substantial completion certificate has been recorded and is currently in the lien period which ends in January. Port Security and Grant Projects – Davie Breaux reported that the Lincoln Builders has a few punch list items to complete the Multi-Agency EOC. April Danos reported that the proposals for the TWIC Implementation will be received on December 17th. Other Port Projects – William Evans reported that he submitted some comments for Chiasson and Breaux to review for the Assumption of Maintenance Study. Once the comments are finalized, they will be forwarded to the Corps on how to proceed. Engineer John Plaisance reported that the Storm Harbor Marina is currently being advertised with the bid opening scheduled on January 7th. Update on LA 1 Projects – Steve Glascock with DOTD addressed the board. He reported that the toll collections have been manned since the summer months which solved the congestion and backup situation. The toll booth will be manned every day from 5AM - 8PM. They are working on increasing the usage of the ATPM by more payment options with possibly a single trip option. The collections show that we had a very good summer with the traffic numbers up and transactions increased. The 2013 traffic volume is up 5% to 10% increase from 2012. From the tolls collected, compared to the expected revenue we were able to close the gap significantly. DOTD is now at 95% collection rate which exceeds industry standards. We had an issue come up in processing old violations prior to the ATPM and improvements made regarding the backlog of images. There are roughly 300,000 backlog images that are being reviewed and processed. One issue that was found that there were a significant number of violations issued during the time of the kiosk machines which a person may have paid at the machine but the system did not recognize payment. Therefore, we have to review these 70,000 images manually. These violations should be completed soon. Some operational improvements made are we started to mail out account notifications of low balances and negative balances. Also implemented legislative actions, Act 206 which will reduce the number of late notices from 3 to 1 notice. This will also reduce the late fees due to the hearings that occur once a month. Future improvements are to update technology to cheaper reader tags which would be a strip that fits on the windshield. DOTD is also pursuing to repair all the electronic message signs and tracking cameras which should be done in phases over the next 3-6 months. Cheramie stated that he has a violation and he has the sticker to pass. The violation does not have a photo or the license plate on it and wants to know how this can even be issued to anyone. Mr. Glascock replied that it is something they are working on and in fact these old

violations included several of those. Cheramie stated that this is back in February. The violation has no photo or plate and shows passing thru gate 1 and gate 2 at same time. Mr. Glascock replied that is part of our review folks receiving invoices with no photo. What he will do is take his information to get that resolved. Griffin stated that he had 2 tickets came back from 2010 and he went to the customer service center and the person checked that there were funds in the account the ticket was mistakenly sent so it was all resolved. Glascock stated that the website is the best place to find information on hearings and the customer service center is open to help resolve issues.

Finance Director James Rome went over the major budget items. The anticipated revenue of

$26,064,784 is a 2.1% increase from 2013. The revenues typically have grown at a higher percentage (6.8%) in the past, but we are not budgeting for any new bulkhead in 2014 and in addition in 2014 we will have 4 leases finishing the advanced improvement revenues which accounts for $1.2 million not being recognized. Chiasson then reported on the major capital construction items as the construction of 2600 LF of bulkhead in Slip C with the associated dredging of $18.2 million and building 18 mooring dolphins of $1 million. He reported on the seaport asset purchase of a new marsh buggy pontoon excavator of $560,000. He stated that the current excavator is 10 years old. He stated by estimating the cost comparison of this purchase we can save approximately $400,000 for one dredging project by having our own excavator. It pays for itself. The old excavator will be put up for surplus sale. Chiasson reported on other projects the Highway Embankment Stabilization of $200,000, Bayou Cleanup of $200,000, Seaport Master Plan $350,000, Seaport Deep Draft Feasibility Study of $1.5 million, Storm Harbor Marina of $1.5 million, Nerby Collins Marina Wooden Bulkhead Replacement of $675,000, and the Public Boat Launch

Upon motion by Cheramie to approve the 2014 Budget which was second by Melancon, the floor was open to discussion. Griffin stated that the budget is less than last year, which Chiasson replied yes it is down $10 million which is due to the projected Slip C bulkhead cost compared to the actual bids. Gisclair said that this is a very aggressive budget and for the first time doing $16 million of bulkhead. We are moving forward and wish the people would take the time to see exactly what we have at Port Fourchon and the Airport. He is proud of the budget and proud of the people who put it together. The board then voted to approve the 2014 Budget of $70,711,946 which resulted in all yeas.
