Juror proposes retroactive reimbursement of $29,828.09 for Hawk Canal work
Summary
A juror proposed adding an item to reimburse Klondike Training $29,828.09 for contractor-paid work on Hawk Canal; jurors discussed that Klondike paid the contractor directly and would be reimbursed from grant-allocated funds if approved.
Juror proposed an add-on item asking the jury to reimburse Klondike Training $29,828.09 for work on Hawk Canal that the contractor had paid for directly, arguing the organization's budget timing prevented it from funding the work up front.
"I'd like to propose add on to, reimburse Klondike training for, the 29828 dollars and 9 cents that they paid towards the Hawk Canal," the juror said, adding that the parish had already allotted money for the canal project and the organization proceeded to pay the contractor directly to meet a tight timeline. Staff said the payment aligns with the project's grant allocation and explained the parish would reimburse if the jury approves the add-on.
