Full report
Calcasieu Parish Police Jury has opened a financing route for upgrades to the Ward 1 water system, authorising Waterworks District No. 1 to proceed with the issuance of up to $3 million in revenue bonds.
The resolution, approved without objection on 5 November, allows the district to issue the bonds in one or more series. The proceeds are to be used for the acquisition and construction of additions and improvements to the district's waterworks system. No further detail on the specific works, issuance timetable or bond terms was discussed.
The borrowing authority was the meeting's principal water-finance action, and was accompanied by a set of property-access decisions that advance other parish water expansion schemes.
For the Nelson Road Waterline Expansion Project, the jury approved a temporary construction servitude agreement from Khamone and Scottie Riley. It also approved an act of donation of a permanent utilities servitude from the Estate of Taylor Family for the Big Lake Road Waterline Expansion Project.
A third approval authorised a permanent public-facilities servitude coupled with a temporary construction servitude for the East Calcasieu Parish Consolidated Waterworks Project. The agreement is with Ninety East Limited Partnership.
Each of the servitude measures was approved without objection. Together, they provide permanent or construction-period access rights associated with the respective projects, while the Ward 1 bond resolution provides a separate financing mechanism for additions and improvements to that district's waterworks network.
The jury also reappointed Ivan J. Tarou to Waterworks District No. 7 of Wards 4 and 6, and appointed James Holloway to a vacant position at Waterworks District No. 14 of Ward 5.
