There was discussion among Jurors about different spots in the Parish to place signs.

Recreation Committee will meet Monday, June 16, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. to discuss coming up with a job description for Rusty Roberts, Turkey Creek Park Supervisor.

Motion by Campbell and seconded by Parks to repair concession stand, benches in dugout, and tin on top of dug out at a cost of $600.00 for materials with labor being furnished by the Sheriff’s office inmates. Unanimously approve.
Juror Johnson said for the record: “I feel that having to come before the Jury in order to do work that the Parish needs is really unnecessary. The Jury recommended that everything involving recreation would come before the Jury. Procedures that we use in order to take care of property that belongs to Parish having to wait until the next meeting and come before the Jury to do things (you know) I believe there’s probably some better ways that we could act. It would be better in my opinion that if the Recreation Committee could look at it and that way at least three (3) Jurors looking and agreeing before Greg goes out and spend. Greg needed material to repair the Concession stand but he couldn’t buy material until we come before the meeting as the result of a decision that was made several years ago. So I just think that there’s a way of us taking care of the business for the Parish.”
Juror Parks asked what’s wrong with him polling the Juror’s? President Guimbellot said that’s not legal.
President Guimbellot said for the record: “I am going to have to disagree with you Mr. Jackie I think all of this should come before the Jury. We have called special meetings. I will call a special meeting anytime anybody request one if there’s something to come up. Now you know that. There are some things like our Committee meetings on Tuesday we don’t approve until on Thursday meeting night.”
Juror Johnson said let’s do that on everything. “Everytime he has to buy something let’s come and have a special meeting in order to purchase it. Just because we are dealing with kids out there and buying material that affect kids lives we say we got to come in and hold a special meeting. But if we went to go out and something break down on the road and you want to get it repaired, he doesn’t have to come in. President Guimbellot said that’s an everyday job. Juror Johnson said this is an everyday job too. Greg’s the Superintendent of the Parish. If he doesn’t have the authority, if he doesn’t have the reasoning power to be able to look and say we need this material here to fix the Concession stand or we need this material here to fix a bathroom commode, then he’s no good. President Guimbellot said sometimes we might jump over the limit of funds we have that’s one reason we have to do it. Juror Scott said something that is a permanent fixture, you document it.
Juror Scott and Alvin White to get together and discuss Ester Credit Park.
Alvin White address Jury regarding Morning Star/Pleasant Star Cemetery. He said they needed something larger than a green garbage cart to put old sprays, etc. in. Jurors gave permission to take crew to Cemetery and clean it up. Mr. White told Juror Scott that they appreciated what he has done for Ester Credit park and would like for him to do more.
Motion by Campbell and seconded by Scott that Larry Clark, Treasurer would open an account at Franklin State Bank for Turkey Creek Park. Unanimously approved.
Larry discussed damage to a citizen’s vehicle. Juror’s said to refer this matter to our Attorney.
Motion by Campbell and seconded by Parks to adopt a resolution ordering and calling an election on Saturday, October 4, 2008, to authorize the levy of a sales and use tax therein.
Guimbellot-Yes; Johnson-Yes; Parks-Yes; Campbell-Yes; Hendry-Yes; Scott-Yes; Young was absent.
Motion by Campbell and seconded by Parks to adopt a resolution for Fire District Number 2 to purchase a fire truck. Unanimously approved.
