PERSONNEL

Mrs. Tanya Beller, Director of the Acadia Parish Community Clinic, requested a change in the requirements for nursing assistance. She indicated it was necessary to upgrade the nursing requirements from LPN to RN in order to have available staff that could oversee the administration of the program in her absence as well as act in an advanced leadership role to assistant in important matters.

Due to the fact that services are so specialized and new employee training must be complete by February of this year to facilitate new WIC guidelines, Mrs. Beller requested immediate approval of the matter. In addition to the status change, she requests that Wendy Signorelli be employed as RN January 16, 2005, to assume the new Registered Nurse position.

A motion was offered by Mr. Alton Stevenson, seconded by Mr. A. J. Credeur, to approve the request by the Director of the Parish Community Clinic to change the status of the LPN position to RN and further authorize the hiring of Wendy Signorelli, RN, at a starting pay of $17.00 per hour January 16, 2005, provided all hiring requirements are met. Motion carried.

                                      
RESOLUTION

             BY MESSRS: A J BROUSSARD AND JOHN HUMBLE SR

BE IT RESOLVED: by the Acadia Parish Police Jury in regular session duly convened this 4th day of January, 2005, does hereby abolish the position of Acadia Parish Director of Operations effective January 4, 2005.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that reorganization and/or organizational chart associated with the position of Director of Operations be hereby rescinded.

ADOPTED: JANUARY 4, 2005

KATRY MARTIN                                    CECELIA S. BROUSSARD
SECRETARY-TREASURER                        PRESIDENT

A motion was offered by Mr. John Humble, Sr., seconded by Mr. A. J. Broussard, to approve supplemental pay to Mrs. Kim Boudreaux in the amount of $200.00 for work provided during the period of December 9, 2004, through December 30, 2004. Motion carried.

A motion was offered by Mr. Cade Benoit, seconded by Mr. Felton Moreau, to approve the hiring of Mr. Dennis Jolivette as a Landfill Equipment Operator at a starting pay of $7.61 per hour effective January 16, 2005, provided all hiring requirements are met. Motion carried.

Legal Counsel Doug Wimberly provided legal opinion relative to the employment status of Mr. John Quebodeaux. He indicated that following a meeting with Fifteenth Judicial District Judge Christian Earles that he was advised that Mr. Quebodeaux was no longer employed with the Acadia Parish Police Jury. Mr. Wimberly reported that he was contacted by Mr. Quebodeaux on December 20th at which time Mr. Quebodeaux objected to his employment status.

Mr. Wimberly’s further research supported the authority of the President to administer the appointment to the position of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. On December 30th, President Cecelia Broussard exercised her authority to appoint Mr. Quebodeaux as Director. In expanding on the subject, Mr. Wimberly stated that the power of appointment was granted to the President, however, the salary or compensation was to be set by the full Jury.

In addition to setting the salary, he was of the opinion that the complete job description should be approved prior to setting salary.

A motion was offered by Mr. Alton Stevenson, to set compensation to $7.00 per hour for the position of Director of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security. Motion died for lack of a second.

Because the current job description was in question President Broussard read the list of duties associated with the position.

Legal Counsel also advised that the issue of back pay or compensation between December 6, 2004 through December 30, 2004, should be reconciled.

President Broussard read a letter in its entirety from Mr. Quebodeaux commenting on the sequence of events. In the letter to Mrs. Broussard, Mr. Quebodeaux requested reinstatement of his position of Director of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security at the original pay including any subsequent raises awarded to other employees of the Police Jury.

A motion was offered by Mr. John Humble, Sr., seconded by Mr. A. J. Broussard, to authorize the Secretary and Legal Counsel to investigate issues relative to compensation from December 6, 2004, through December 30, 2004. Motion carried.

A motion was offered by Mr. John Humble, Sr., seconded by Mr. A. J. Broussard, to reinstate Mr. John Quebodeaux at his original salary as Director of Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security. The following roll call vote was cast: Yeas: A. J. Broussard, John Humble, Sr., Cecelia Broussard and Jimmie Pellerin. Nays: Alton Stevenson, A. J. Credeur, Cade Benoit and Felton Moreau. Motion failed.

Juror Cade Benoit suggested the pay should not be as much as before due to the change in duties. It was suggested that a decision should be made on whether Homeland Security should be full or part-time.

Mrs. Earline Oliver reminded of the testimony where it was admitted that the position was full-time.

Juror Cade Benoit added that other qualified individuals were available for the job.

Mr. Charles Labbe commented on the performance of Mr. Quebodeaux in the position of Emergency Preparedness and that the dispute had little to do with him personally. He encouraged the Jury to get away from the stale mate of tying votes.

Mr. Markel Poullard expressed his interest in the position of Homeland Security.

Juror John Humble, Sr., reminded the members that John Quebodeaux was in the process of training others to take on those responsibilities before he retires.

Juror A. J. Credeur noted it was illegal for Mr. Quebodeaux to be elected to the School Board and appointed as Director of Emergency Preparedness and some Jurors ignored the warning.

A motion was offered by Mr. A. J. Credeur, to set the Director of Homeland Security pay at $1,000 per month. Motion died for lack of a second.

Mr. Larry Regan pointed out that he served in an Assistants capacity since 1983 and that Mr. Quebodeaux’s predecessor was receiving approximately $2,000 per month. Mr. Regan offered his services in the meantime.

President Broussard indicated that the position should include all of the duties previously assigned. She also advised that an Attorney General’s opinion relative to the dual office holding was requested by her in writing after the fact.

Juror Felton Moreau asked if Legal Counsel was consulted.

A motion was offered by Mr. A. J. Broussard, seconded by Mr. John Humble, Sr., to set compensation for the Director of Homeland Security at $34,862.40. The following roll call vote was cast: Yeas: A. J. Broussard, John Humble, Sr., Cecelia Broussard and Jimmie Pellerin. Nays: Alton Stevenson, A. J. Credeur, Cade Benoit and Felton Moreau. Motion failed.

A motion was offered by Mr. Jimmie Pellerin, seconded by Mr. John Humble, Sr., to set the rate of pay for the Director of Homeland Security including all previous job duties associated with the position at $34,862.40. The following roll call vote was cast: Yeas: A. J. Broussard, John Humble, Sr., Cecelia Broussard and Jimmie Pellerin. Nays: Alton Stevenson, A. J. Credeur, Cade Benoit and Felton Moreau. Motion failed.


PUBLIC FACILITIES/BUILDING & GROUNDS

A motion was offered by Mr. Alton Stevenson, to approve the acceptance of the Mosquito Control Facility Construction Project and release the retainage in advance of the 45 day lien period. Motion died for lack of a second.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

The matter of Roberts Rules of Order was briefly discussed.

Mr. Lyle Johnson, Parish Librarian, offered copies of guidebooks for members use.

Mrs. Patty McNeely requested an expansion to the Ordinance to protect residents from the discharge of firearms.

Juror A. J. Credeur requested that the following be read into the record for this meeting:

Statement to the Acadia Parish Police Jury and Mr. John Quibedeaux

My name is Herbert Lyons and I am a registered voter of Acadia Parish. I was an Acadia Parish employee last summer as the Branch Barn Manager until I was terminated. I was terminated for trying to show some appreciation towards the men for their hard work and cooperation by giving them a beer after work on the premises. I found out later, this was against policy. It is amazing to me that some of you could read that policy manual in order to terminate me, but you could not read your own Police Jury Manual that was very clear on the dual office holding law. Other members of the Jury tried to point out to Mrs. Broussard, Mr. Broussard and Mr. Quibedeaux that it was prohibited based on the Police Jury Manual. Amazingly both of you ignored it and voted Mr. Quibedeaux in as Director of Operations anyway–and Mr. Quibedeaux, you accepted the position, which was a violation as per the decision of the Judge on December 6.

Since my termination in August, I have been reading the Police Jury Manual and I have found a few very interesting points. Le me take a moment to remind all of you including Mr. Quibedeaux of the Oath of Office that all of you have taken. It states and I quote “I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution and the Laws of the United States and the Constitution and the Laws of this State and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as and according to the best of my ability and understanding, so help me Go.”

Being Jurors have taken this Oath of Office, let me also quote regarding malfeasance in office, “Malfeasance in Office is committee when a Public Officer or Public Employee:

(1) Intentionally refuses or fails to perform a lawfully required duty;
(2) Intentionally performs such duty in an unlawful manner; or
(3) Knowingly permits an officer or employee under his authority to do so.”

The penalty for malfeasance is imprisonment for up to five (5) years and/or a fine of up to $5,000.00.

I feel that the Jurors that voted to put Mr. Quibedeaux in this position as Director of Operations and also Mr. Quibedeaux for accepting this position, as an Officer, have committed malfeasance in office.
The way I see it, maybe you should have read the Police Jury Manual as well as you read the policy manual. It was ruled in court that Mr. Quibedeaux was in violation of the law. Yet now, Mrs. Broussard sees fit to re-appoint Mr. Quibedeaux to one of his former positions. I broke a policy and was terminated by the Jury. Think about the precedent that you are setting for Acadia Parish as a whole. I would like to know why you never gave me a second chance to keep my job, the same as Mr. Quibedeaux?

Just a reminder, “NONE OF YOU ARE ABOVE THE LAW.”
Thank you and have a good evening.

THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE MOTION WAS OFFERED DULY SECONDED, THAT THE MEETING ADJOURN UNTIL THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING OF JANUARY 18, 2005, AT THE HOUR OF 6:30 P.M.
