Levee board approves borrow-material agreement with Louisiana Land & Exploration Properties
Summary
The levee district approved an agreement to buy borrow material from Louisiana Land & Exploration Properties for the AE East levy improvement project and authorized staff to sign related documents; funding from CP was reported as in place.
The board voted to approve an agreement to purchase borrow material from Louisiana Land & Exploration Properties (LLN) near Raphael Project Road to support the AE East levy improvement project.
The executive director recommended the agreement, saying it would let the district buy material at an agreed price and move the AE East project forward now that CP funding is available. “I recommend y’all approve that agreement and authorize me to sign the documentation,” the executive director said during the meeting.
Board members discussed that funding from CP is already in place and that the purchase would align with the district’s pending Section 408 permit work. After a motion and second, a voice vote recorded at least one opposition, and the chair declared the motion passed.
The agreement was presented as part of the final steps needed once the Corps of Engineers issues outstanding permits for the AE East project; staff reiterated that construction contracts are in place and that buying borrow material would allow work to proceed when the Corps’ permit is finalized.
The board did not record a full numeric roll-call tally in the transcript; the meeting minutes will list the formal vote count when the clerk’s record is finalized.
