A representative from Nature Chem talked to Jurors in regards to doing a 3rd application for spraying Parish roads.  He said that with this application the mix would be stronger, the drivers will be going at a slower rate, and they might bring in a second truck.  Greg said he would like to assign an employee to ride with them.  He stated there is another option he would like to talk to the Jury about spraying ditches and canals at a later date.
Motion by Guimbellot and seconded by Hendry approving the third (3) application for road side spraying by Nature Chem.  Unanimously approved
James Hendrix of the LSU Ag Center provided updates of recent and future activities going on with the LSU Ag Center.
Lance Vancena, Facility Manager with Perryville Gas Storage introduced himself to Jurors and thanked them for letting his Company come to Franklin Parish.
Charles Brass spoke to Jurors concerning the Section 8 Program.  He informed Jurors our neighboring parishes of Tensas and Catahoula with populations smaller than Franklin average of 100 or more vouchers which is more that Franklin Parish with a larger population.  Brass stated Franklin Parish has 13 vouchers with 65 on a waiting list.  Brass asked the Jury to request from HUD officials 100 vouchers to support the 65 applicants that are now on a waiting list in order to help our constituents in Franklin Parish.  This request if approved will accommodate 65 applicants on waiting list and have 35 vouchers left over.  Brass also suggested having an official from HUD to come into the office and talk to them and see why Franklin Parish can’t have more vouchers.
Motion by Guimbellot and seconded by Lewis requesting 100 vouchers from Section 8 officials (HUD).  Unanimously approved
Discussion on Culverts:  Buddy wanted to know if a resident/landowner had the right size pipe and made of good material if they would be able to use it.  Jurors said resident/landowner would have to get approval from Greg to see if pipe is suitable for use before placing it in a ditch.
Guimbellot wanted to know if the Parish will install culverts for drainage and road improvements.  Greg said landowner’s always need access especially on roads that you are ditching getting ready to chip seal and improve.  Every landowner has to sign right of ways when you are doing drainage and road improvements.
Greg presented to the Jury Franklin Parish Culvert Installation Policy listed below:
Franklin Parish Culvert Installation Policy
The Franklin Parish Police Jury has adopted the following clarification to the Parish Culvert Policy to insure conformance to Act 719, RS 33:4883 as inacted during the 2010 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature.
1.  Culverts for the general benefits of Parish drainage may be installed at the expense of the Franklin Parish Police Jury;
2. Culverts for the primary benefit of a private property owner must be paid for by the private property owner;
3. The Franklin Parish Police Jury may regulate culverts that impact the overall drainage system;
4. The Franklin Parish Police Jury may require that private culverts be purchased from, or even installed by the Public entity, but the private property owner must pay 100% of the costs.
Motion by Guimbellot and seconded by Hendry to approve the above Franklin Parish Culvert Installation Policy as presented by Greg Humphries, Superintendent.  Unanimously approved
Superintendent’s Report:
Motion by Guimbellot and seconded by Hendry to approve August Work Schedule as presented by Greg Humphries, Superintendent.  Unanimously approved

Knox Road and Rabbit Lane are complete and Batey Road is in progress.  Greg also stated that Ivan Thames with Wildlife and Fisheries had put ribbons around trees at Turkey Creek that can be removed.
Greg stated the equipment has been at the Lake for about 3 weeks removing stumps and he was getting a lot of heat about drainage ditches.
Motion by Scott and seconded by Parks for Greg to proceed with removing the Cypress trees at the edge of the bank at Turkey Creek marked by Ivan Thames.  All voting yes except Guimbellot who abstained.

Harvey still has concerns about fisherman having to get out their boats and wade in water to get to the fish weigh in station during Bass Tournaments.  Greg stated he needed some guidance from the Jury on how to proceed.  Motion by Scott and seconded by Parks while the equipment was still at the Lake to dig out a section of about 18-20 feet wide so when tournaments are going on fisherman won’t have to wade in water to get fish to the weigh in station. Unanimously approved
Ricky stated that the drain pipe is rusted and that there is something it could be coated with to make it last. Scott stated that a drawdown of the Lake will be every 4 or 5 years and they will draw down at least 4 feet.  He said this is not draining the lake. There is a big difference.
Scott said there are nails sticking up on the ramp that need taking up.  He suggested getting the inmates to take up the nails and replace them with screws.  He also talked about the handicapped ramp at the restroom. Scott stated one bag of sakrete which would cost about $20.00 or $30.00 would fix it.
