A three-person committee was last night tasked with negotiating a permanent agreement with the City of Ruston to house animals that are picked up in the parish. The action took place in the Public Works Committee meeting and was ratified by the full jury.
A temporary agreement now in place expires on May 30 of this year.
Appointed to the committee were Interim Parish Administrator Courtney Hall, and Jurors Theresa Wyatt and Glenn Scriber.
The committee authorized the parish road crew to assist, subject to availability, with street repair and ditch clean out for the City of Grambling and the Town of Dubach.
See here the requests.
The Solid Waste & Recycling Committee heard from Jon Fourrier, landfill engineering expert regarding the future of the parish’s landfill.
Currently, the parish operates a construction and demolition debris landfill only, with household municipal waste taken to the Union Parish landfill. The C&D landfill is almost full, so additional area will have to be developed.
The new area is north of the now-closed municipal waste area and to the west of the existing C&D area. It will cover about six acres.
The committee approved, and the full jury ratified proceeding with permitting applications for the new site.

All I know is, you better be careful negotiating with the mayo; he’s a slick one.
He’ll end up like Jim Baaker: smiling and holding the money.

But now they have Hall to help them out. If his salary negotiations and his ability to keep the name of his employment agency quiet are any indication, his “negotiating” skills must be incredible.

Hall is a Durrett puppet.

Hall and Durrett know more about operations at the LPPJ than anyone. It’s a good thing they are there.
If you are reading this, they know more about it than you.
