PUBLIC NOTICE
Safe Drinking Water Act:
Notice of Violation/Public Notification of Non-Compliance
Lead and Copper Monitoring Violations
WISNER WATER SYSTEM
PWS ID #LA1041077
FRANKLIN PARISH
We are required to monitor your drinking water for lead and copper. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. During the sampling period of June 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010, the WISNER WATER SYSTEM did not monitor for lead and copper, and therefore we cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.
This violation occurred because of the failure to collect the required samples for lead and copper from the water system's distribution system.
Necessary action has been taken to prevent this violation from recurring. These samples will be taken from June 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2011 and every 3 years thereafter. If you have any questions please call Town Hall at 318-724-6568.

CROWVILLE FIRE DISTRICT
P.O. Box 297
Crowville, La. 71230
Minutes of Board meeting dated Thursday, March 3, 2011 at 7:30 a.m, Crowville Fire Station.
Board members present: Kelly Clark, Don Middleton, and Colby Peppers.
Guests present: Daniel Fuller, Central Community Fireman.
Business discussed and/or acted on by the Board:
1. Don Middleton reviewed the financial statements with the Board. After some discussion the Board approved the statements without change or descent. Statements on file with the minutes.
2. Board members discussed tentative proposal from Deep South Fire Apparatus, Seminary, Mississippi, concerning a refurbished recent model fire truck for Central Community.
3. Colby Peppers proposed that we also contact Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Holden, La. Colby volunteered to make this contact to ascertain that they had pre-owned or refurbished fire trucks. We have purchased 2 new fire truck and a new skid module from them in the past several years. The Board readily concurred with this proposal.
4. Don Middleton stated that since we will have to borrow some funds, being a public body using public money, we will have to go before the La. Bonding Commission. This process involves having a bonding attorney to present our request to this commission.
5. Kelly Clark proposed using Attorney Wes Shafto, Monroe, La. the same attorney we used in 2008 when we purchased a new fire truck for the Swampers Fire Station. All Board members agreed.
6. No grant money is anticipated in acquiring this fire truck so the process should be shorter and less complicated than prior major acquisitions.
FOR THE BOARD:
Don Middleton, Secretary-Treasurer.

Coalition Letter of Intent: The Treasurer and the Parish President attended a meeting with Tensas, Catahoula and Concordia parishes on January 31st to discuss the possibility of forming a “coalition”. The State of Louisiana receives 3 million dollars from HUD each year to be disbursed to communities with specific needs. A “preferred jurisdiction” receives money of the top, and then the smaller communities apply for the remainder of the money on competitive basis. A “preferred jurisdiction” is an area with a population of 50,000 or more. The coalition will have on board member from each parish and municipality. Each parish will assess its community’s needs and provide a strategic plan to be submitted. The board members will decide which parish receives the money the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years. Such as Franklin receives the money the 1st year then Franklin will not receive the money again until the 5th year. By forming this coalition Franklin Parish is eligibile for money that our area has never been eligible for before.
Motion by Leroy Scott and seconded by Joe Lewis giving Ricky Campbell, President of the Franklin Parish Police Jury authority to sign letter of intent to form the Coalition. Unanimously approved

Jason Hardy, District Conservationist for Franklin Parish spoke to Jurors about the Federal Tree Program and Parish right-of-way. Hardy stated in the 80’s they started a Wetland Reserve Program. This program was designed to assist producers who have land that has flooded seasonally or annually and have a hard time producing crops on their property. WRP offers the producer an easement payment. The producer sells his service rights to the government.
