Homeland Security reports light-plant delivery and discusses safety-roads grant match
Summary
Daryl Buer, director of Homeland Security, said light plants would arrive Friday for parish and town use and outlined a 'safety roads' grant under discussion with the governor's office that may require a 20% match; jurors were told a finance-committee review is likely before any commitment.
Daryl Buer, director of Homeland Security for the parish, told the jury light plants ordered for emergency use should arrive Friday; the equipment will be tested and made available for parish and town borrowing, with a condition that borrowers repair any damage and refuel units before return.
Buer also said the parish met with a representative from the governor’s office about a “safety roads” grant. The grant would likely require a 20% local match; parish staff are exploring potential assistance from LA Corp to satisfy the match. Buer said the parish is in early stages, a follow-up meeting is scheduled and the grant deadline is the end of June; the matter may come before the finance committee and the full jury if the match can be secured.
No contract award or match commitment was authorized in the transcript; jurors were given an informational update and told staff would return with next steps if feasible.
