St. Mary Parish Council 11/18

Plans for a gated luxury 336 apartment complex
in Garden City inched further along after the St. Mary
Parish Council gave permission to investors to begin
subdividing 10 acres of the property, on the corner
of La Hwy 182 and La Hwy 3125.

Meanwhile on the topic of abortion, the council voted
9-1 with one abstention, to send resolutions to the
United States Congress asking them to support the
Stupak Amendment, which applies a federal
prohibition on abortion funding to President Barack
Obama’s health care reform bill.

Investerra, LLC Contractors, represented by Frank
Alcaraz, Project Manager, and Mick Wick, General
Contractor, have set their sights on St Mary Parish
to build a solar and environmentally friendly complex
that calls for in phase one, 156 one bedroom
1,000 sq ft apartments, and 12 two bedroom,
1,300 sq ft apartments.

Following Wednesday’s vote, the plans must pass a
rezoning resolution, which changes the property from
its present agricultural, currently used for cane farming.
The council is expected to consider this its next meeting Dec 9.

However, St. Mary Parish Chief Administrative Officer
Henry “Bo” LaGrange said that plan is now approved
to the point that the company can begin subdividing the
property, but it still has to meet all other customary
parish subdivision rezoning rules.


Still, Wick said that his firm does not yet own the property,
as they have been contending with an enormous amount of
permitting and zoning issues with the State.

Last Wednesday, the St. Mary Parish Council gave
preliminary approval to issue $3 million in bonds, to
create infrastructure on the property – basically for roads
and sewage, and possibly water, but LaGrange said
there are some issues that remain on how to get enough
water pressure to the property.

Council Chairman Gary Duhon said that even if the
contractors don’t buy the property, if the infrastructure
is implemented, it will offer the parish an opportunity
to market the area to other developers.

Investerra Marketing Director Laura Mott said the
complex with be similar to the Southdown Pavilion,
which is located on La. Hwy 315 in Houma. “The units
proposed for La Maison sur la Teche will be much larger
however,” she said.

Frank Fink, St. Mary Parish Economic Development
Director, said he’s banking on the new proposed gated
luxury apartment complex as the beginning of what
could be the answer to the parish’s housing problem,
which would lead to more expansion within the parish.
“Roof tops mean retail, more people living here,” he said.

In another matter, the parish council voted 9-1 with one
abstention, to send resolutions to the United States
Congress asking them to support the Stupak
Amendment, which applies a federal prohibition
on abortion funding to President Barack Obama’s health care reform bill.

Councilman Albert Foulcard, initially, did not want
to vote on the idea, saying, “I don’t want to get into
the pro life argument. This is something one should '
take up individually with their own representatives,” he said.

But Councilman Glen Hidalgo, who offered the motion, said
“It doesn’t matter if you’re pro-life or pro-abortion. What
I’m asking you tonight is to vote for this resolution, which
supports an amendment that prohibits federal taxpayer
dollars earmarked to pay for an abortion by anyone,’ he said.

“Why should we as United States citizens have to pay
for someone’s decision?”

Councilman Charles “Butch” Middleton cast the only
vote opposing the resolution, with Councilman Steve
Bierhorst absent from the meeting.

“When you start mixing abortion with health care you
muddy the water,” Middleton said. “And again, I want
to see health care passed, period.”

At last week’s council meeting, Parish Councilman
Butch Middleton previously opposed expanding the
council’s agenda to consider the resolution when it
was first offered by Hidalgo, which made the resolution
a moot point according to the council charter.“I’m
against abortion,” Middleton said. “I’m very much
pro life. But this resolution is a red herring conservative
ploy, simply to just oppose the president’s plans. And I’m
sick of conservative tactics like this.”

St Mary 911 Director Arrested

St. Mary Parish’s 911 Director Marie Anderson is still on the job, even though a press release reports she was indicted on an unnamed charge or charges related to fraud involving disaster food stamps.

St. Mary Parish Director of Homeland Security Duval Arthur, said he learned of the indictment through a newspaper article. “I called her Monday afternoon, and she was unaware of the charges as well. Frankly, no one knows what she is being charged with.”

Arthur is a member of the St. Mary Parish 911 Board, whom Anderson reports to. “We’ll be meeting this week, and I guess that will be the topic. But for now, nothing has changed with her job,” he said.

Trey Williams, who issued the press release Monday, said he could offer no further comment. He did indicate that the investigation is ongoing and more indictments are expected. Williams is listed as a point of contact with the Louisiana Department of Social Services Fraud and Recovery Section.

Also, the release did admit the charges set forth in the indictment are merely accusations and each defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

It also said that support for the investigation was provided by St. Mary Parish Sheriff David Naquin and Franklin City Police Chief Sabria McGuire.

Contacted Monday afternoon, McGuire said, “I don’t talk to anyone.”

Arthur said he is just speechless at this point. “We just don’t know anything. And I have to tell you that Marie was working out great for us. She is a good leader.”

The release states that there is a 57 count indictment that alleges that Anderson as well as 13 others, are suspected of fraud involving food stamps that were issued during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav and Ike. The theft totals more than $50,000.

The release states that the indictments were handed down in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Louisiana, on November 10.

It also states that former St. Mary Parish Office of Family Services Employee Edie Harrison of Baldwin was arrested, along with Paula Bell of New Iberia and State Department of Health and Hospital Employee Felicia Carroll of Jeanerette.

Along with Anderson, the others indicted include: Teresa Hawkins, former St. Mary Parish OFS Family Services Parish Manager, and these former St. Mary Parish Office of Family Services Employees: Angela Gray, Laura Wells, Harriet Williams, Andrea Broussard , Dorothy Reedom, and Tawana Carson. Also indicted were: St. Mary Parish Department of Health and Hospitals Area Manager Barbara Sanders, St Mary Parish Department of Health and Hospitals Employee Barbara Sonia, and Iberia Parish Office of Family Services Employee Shelia Blevins.

“Our administration has zero tolerance for employee fraud and malfeasance,” Department of Social Services Secretary Kristy Nichols said in the release. “Maintaining the integrity of our public assistance programs is critical to our mission to provide services for Louisiana residents while serving as responsible stewards of public funds. It is our policy to aggressively investigate allegations of fraud with respect to our employees and recipients with the goal of rooting out such activity to ensure that taxpayer’s funds are reserved for those who are truly in need.”

The release also states that the counts lodged against Anderson and the others include conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, embezzlement of public funds, and lying to a federal agent.

It said examples of the criminal activity involved applying for assistance for deceased or non-existent people, receiving assistance for persons who lived out of state, and willful disregard of applicants’ household income and liquid assets which are major criteria used to determine eligibility.

St. Mary Parish Councilmen oppose issues

One St. Mary Parish Councilman opposed a resolution which would create infrastructure throughout property eyed by a construction firm, with plans for a gated luxury apartment complex.

Meawhile, another councilman opposed expanding Wednesday night's agenda to consider a resolution opposing federal abortion funding.

And a Charenton citizens group told the parish council that they would like help to obtain the former Mary Hines Elementary School, so that they can use it as a community center.

Kevin Voisin of Morgan City was the only St. Mary Parish Councilman to oppose a resolution that gave preliminary approval to issue $3 million in revenue bonds, the funds of which would be used to create infrastructure within property located at the corner of La Hwy 182 and La Hwy 3215 in Garden City.

That property is presently eyed by CMW Builders, LLC, who is interested in building a gated luxury apartment complex on the site.

Mike Wick, president and ceo, said the complex will be built with solar and environmentally friendly materials. He said the project will call for 336 units in two phases. Phase one would be units, 156 one bedroom 1,000 sq ft apartments, and 12 two bedroom, 1,300 sq ft apartments.

Wick said his company is in negotiations to buy the property, but must jump through an enormous amount of permitting and zoning issues with the State. CMW Builders is currently using the Fairfax House in Franklin as its base of operations.

Voisin said the parish is currently in way too much bond debt, and he needs more information before he can jump on board with plans for the luxury complex.

"This parish council always opens its wallet and jumps too quick without asking any questions," he said. "We don't have any guarantees from this company, and we don't know that much about them. How do we know they're going to fulfill their obligations?"

Parish Council Chairman Gary Duhon, along with others, believe that regardless of whether the company purchases the property, the parish will have a marketable piece of real estate should CMW Builders' plans flop.

But Voisin said the bond proposal would require the parish to pay $500,000 a year over the next seven years, or $3.5 million. "Does St. Mary Parish really need this extra debt? How do we know all of these apartments will be filled?" he asked.

Although he did not speak during Wednesday's meeting, Parish Economic Development Director Frank Fink said he stands behind the project because it is a viable asset.

"Sure unemployment rates area down in the neighboring parishes," Fink said. "But that's because St. Mary Parish businesses employ at least 5,000 of their residents. We can't house them here because we have no housing available. I know people who live in New Iberia, but commute to work in Morgan City."

In another matter last night, Parish Councilman Butch Middleton opposed expanding the Council's agenda, to consider a resolution offered by Parish Councilman Glen Hidalgo that opposed the federal government endorsing any funding for abortions in President Barack Obama's proposed Health Care Plan.

Middleton explained his reasoning after the meeting. "I'm against abortion. I'm very much pro life. But this resolution is a red herring conservative ploy, simply to just oppose the president's plans. And I'm sick of conservative tactics like this."

Nonetheless, Hidalgo said after the meeting that he will make sure the proposal is on the council's agenda next week.

In other business, Eltonnette Brimedge, a spokesman representing Charenton Community Outreach, explained to the Council that a large group of citizens there are interested in acquiring the former Mary Hines Elementary School, to use as a community center. The school was one of four closed at the end of last school year, due to the opening of Raintree Elementary this school year.

Most of the council said they did not have problems supporting the idea, but that the property belongs to the School Board, and thus, it is a school board issue.

Parish Councilman Rev. Craig Matthews, who represents the area, said all three schools have been advertised for a couple of months now, and no one has shown interest in bidding on any of the property.


 

"I think the board should consider some sort of an arrangement with these folks," Matthews said.


Parish Councilman Steve Bierhorst agreed. "I agree Rev. Matthews. After all, it was the tax dollars of Charenton residents that built Mary Hines School in the first place."


 

The School Board agreed to close Thomas Gibbs, G.W. Hamilton, Mary Hines and Baldwin Elementary Schools almost three years ago, saying that each is in need of improvements that total $500,000 or more.


 

Also, the board said the construction of Raintree Elementary would save them an annual $600,000, starting this school year. In years prior, the board spent at least this amount on repairs, among other things, at each of the other schools.


 

The initial price discussed for each school (including land and building) were:


Thomas Gibbs Elementary, without the portable buildings, $741,200; with the buildings, $760,400.

G.W. Hamilton Elementary, without the portable buildings, $707,600; with the buildings, $744,350.

Mary Hines Elementary, without the portable buildings, $705,600; with the buildings, $779,100.


 

There are six portable buildings at Gibbs, four at Hamilton, and eight at Hines.


 

Gibbs is located at 264 Hwy 318 in Franklin, Hamilton at 105 Hatcherson St in Baldwin, Hines at 327 Martin Luther King Street in Charenton.


 

The St. Mary Parish School Board is not advertising Baldwin Elementary School at present, due to legal concerns that the school may not be able to be sold, but rather given back to the town for their use.
