MEETING WITH CORPS OF ENGINEERS SLATED FOR NEXT WEEK
Parish President Paul Naquin informed the St. Mary Parish Council last night, he will meet with the U.S. Corps of Engineers next week, to “fast track” a hurricane flood protection plan at the Franklin Canal.
Last September, the lack of flood gate over the Franklin Canal to keep away rising tides from the Gulf of Mexico caused more than 1,000 homes in St. Mary Parish to take in water from Hurricane Ike’s surge along the St. Mary Parish coast. The impacted area stretched east to Garden City. A similar situation occurred after Hurricane Rita in 2005.
Naquin said he along with Franklin Mayor Raymond Harris, Parish Engineer Glenn Miller, and St. Mary Parish Levee District Commissioner Bill Hidalgo will meet with U.S. Corps Project Engineer Mark Wingate on March 4 at the Parish Courthouse in Franklin at 10:30 a.m. “We’re going to get this project on a fast track so that we can hopefully avoid a lot of red tape involving the permit process with the corps,” Naquin said.
Last Tuesday, the Franklin City Council wasted no time surrendering $640,000 in capital outlay funds to the St. Mary Parish Levee District for a flood protection plan that once completed, is expected to protect parts of the city from hurricane storm surge.
At that meeting, Parish Engineer Glenn Miller said the plan calls for a gate across the Franklin Canal along with a 12-foot sheet pile levee from the canal northward to the Yokley levee. The gate structure would be located south of U.S. 90 and the Fairfax Bailey Boat Landing, and will include a navigation opening between 20 and 30 feet, that could be closed before a hurricane approaches the St. Mary Parish coast.
Miller said he could not commit to a target date, but indicated the project would take about three to five months to be completed.
The project would be paid for with $640,000 in state capital outlay funds the City of Franklin received last year. Franklin Mayor Raymond Harris said State Rep. Sam Jones has also secured an additional $1.1 million commitment from the state.
In other business during last night’s St. Mary Parish Council meeting, the council passed a resolution supporting a project by the St. Mary Parish 911 Board to seek an 85 cent fee from prepaid wireless calling cards.
St. Mary Parish 911 Director Marie Anderson said the parish’s 911 system is funded through land line and cellular telephone fees. However, the parish does not recoup any fees from prepaid wireless calling cards.
She said the parish receives 85 cents per cellular phone, $1.47 per business land line and 54 centers per residential phone.
She would like to also receive 85 cents per prepaid calling card.
Anderson said she and her staff are garnering support from neighboring parishes, in an attempt to get the idea passed through the state legislature this upcoming spring. She said State Rep. Joe Harrison (R-Napoleonville) will author the bill.

FRANKLIN COUNCIL MOVES ON FLOOD PROTECTION
The Franklin City Council wasted no time Tuesday surrendering $640,000 in capital outlay funds to the St. Mary Parish Levee District for a flood protection plan that once completed, is expected to protect parts of the city from hurricane storm surge.
Last September, the lack of flood gate over the Franklin Canal to keep away rising tides from the Gulf of Mexico, caused more than 1,000 homes in St. Mary Parish to take in water from Hurricane Ike’s surge along the St. Mary Parish coast. The impacted area stretched east to Garden City.
But last Thursday, the St. Mary Parish Levee District, committed to installing what project engineer Glenn Miller said is a “temporary project of a permanent fix,” to protect the city from hurricane surge, most recently experienced in the fall from Hurricane Ike.
Miller said he plan calls for a gate across the Franklin Canal along with a 12-foot sheet pile levee from the canal northward to the Yokley levee. The gate structure would be located south of U.S. 90 and the Fairfax Bailey Boat Landing, and will include a navigation opening between 20 and 30 feet, that could be closed before a hurricane approaches the St. Mary Parish coast.
The project would be paid for with $640,000 in state capital outlay funds the city received last year. Franklin Mayor Raymond Harris said State Rep. Sam Jones has also secured an additional $1.1 million commitment from the state.
“This project will stop the surge,” Harris said. “Now all we need is to get the U.S. Corps of Engineers to approve it.”
Miller agreed saying, “It’s going to be a permitting situation because this is a navigable waterway and it involves wetlands.
“Will it be installed before the 2009 Hurricane Season? We’re going to do what we have to, to make sure it is,” Harris said.
City Councilman Dale Rogers said, “It’s a lot easier to ask for forgiveness.”
Miller said he could not commit to a target date, but indicated the project would take about three to five months to be completed.
Last summer, in advance of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, Mayor Harris took matters in his own hands and led an effort to build a six foot levee along the Franklin Canal, in order to protect the residents who live to the east of Willow Street. However, due to the large seven ft surge from Ike, the levee failed and sent water to east of the canal. However, loop holes in the levee caused from some landowners who refused to allow Harris to build the levee on their property, sent water west of the canal, into the Pecan Acres area of Franklin.
“We took the heat when it didn’t work, but we kept on working,” Harris said last fall.
“Regardless of whether we had signed agreements to build a levee project, or a lock project, something to keep out high water levels – neither would have been completed in time for last year’s Hurricane Season. So we had two choices – one, to sit there and do nothing, or the other, to build a levee on our own – and that’s what we did.”
Former Gov. Kathleen Blanco commissioned the St. Mary Parish Levee District at the close of her administration in 2007. It is a nine member commission whose charge is to maintain the levees and the levee drainage system parish wide.
However, the group did not begin meeting until late in 2008, after Gov. Bobby Jindal ratified the appointments.

ST MARY SCHOOL BOARD
The St. Mary Parish School Board approved a pilot program Thursday that will promote failing fifth, sixth and seventh grade students to the next grade, provided they attend an extended day program with parental consent.
“The program will radically reduce the retention rate in middle school grades and give these students a high promotion probability of advancing to high school as regular students,” Superintendent Donald Aguillard said.
Starting this month, students who are scheduled to be retained or kept back, would be given the opportunity to be promoted to the next grade, by staying at school an extra hour Monday thru Thursday. Bus transportation will be available.
Aguillard said the program will cost the board $80,000, for two teachers per middle school and eight additional buses to transport students home after the program.
In fiscal matters, the board learned its sales tax collection budget is $93,660 ahead of its sales tax projections of $10.6 million.
In personnel matters, the board accepted the resignations of: Marcus Manuel, an English Language Arts teacher and Mary Vincent. a Math teacher, at Franklin Sr. High; Heny Brown, a crossing guard at M.E. Norman Elementary; Shawn DeRouen, production manager at Patterson Jr. High; and John Sorrell, a computer literacy teacher at Patterson Jr. High School.
The board also accepted the retirements of Willie Edmond, a cafeteria technician at
Mary Hines Elementary - effective Jan 24th, 2009; Jane Bowles, Principal at Franklin Jr. High School - effective June 30 of 2009; Karen Davidson, Principal at Foster Elementary, effective Sept 1, 2009.
