A. Materials, supplies and equipment:

The Parish President shall review and approve requisitions that meet state law requirement for "advertisement for bids", not to exceed $20,000.00. Those exceeding $20,000.00 must be approved by the Parish Council, unless specifically identified in the Capital Outlay Budget adopted by the Council. (Ord. No. 03-0764, adopted 10/02/2003)

B. Contracts for Professional Services:

1. Establishment of Professional Service List:

Notice of Contract Approval

Upon approval of any Professional Services or Public Works Contract as authorized by this Section, written notice of the contract and its approval shall be provided to the Parish Council Office.

Dividing or "splitting" purchase requirements in order to circumvent the monetary limitations imposed by state law and this section is strictly prohibited. The Director of Finance shall monitor and challenge such request and report any violations to the Parish President for appropriate action.

The act of an employee who orders and/or accepts supplies and services prior to the submission of an approved requisition and in advance of a purchase order being issued is deemed as an "unauthorized commitment". Such a commitment is not legal and does not obligate the Parish to pay for the supplies or services rendered. A personal liability may be levied against the individual making the unauthorized commitment. The Parish President has the authority to ratify unauthorized commitments which do not require Council approval, however, they will not be routinely approved. A review shall be implemented prior to determining the appropriate action.

The Parish President will appoint Department Heads and/or individuals having the authority to review, approve, or submit requisitions for supplies, materials and services in writing and assign monetary limitations of approval as appropriate. Those appointees will ensure that there is a valid requirement and that sufficient funding within their budget is available for requisitions that are submitted. Unfunded requirements must be approved in accordance with budgeting procedures within the Code of Ordinances.

The Parish President may implement internal controls, purchasing procedures, and amplify this section as deemed necessary to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse of public funds.

b.  Drainage Impact Fee Schedule – Revised Schedule (Effective January 4, 2013)

  a.  In the road impact fee schedule, square feet refers to gross floor area, defined as the gross floor area of all buildings, measured from the outside surface of exterior walls, but excluding enclosed parking and loading areas.

  b.  In the drainage impact fee schedule, square feet refers to the ground floor area of all buildings, including enclosed parking structures, measured from the outside surface of exterior walls.

3.  If the type of Impact-Generating Development for which a building permit is requested is not specified on the above fee schedule, the Impact Fee Administrator shall determine the fee on the basis of the fee applicable to the most nearly comparable type of land use on the fee schedule.

G.  Independent Fee Calculation Study.

1. The impact fee may be computed by the use of an Independent Fee Calculation Study at the election of the Fee Payer, or upon the request of the Impact Fee Administrator, for any proposed land development activity interpreted as not one of those types listed on the fee schedule, or as one that is not comparable to any land use on the fee schedule, or for any proposed land development activity for which the Impact Fee Administrator concludes the nature, timing or location of the proposed development makes it likely to generate impacts costing substantially more or less to mitigate than the amount of the fee that would be generated by the use of the fee schedule.

2. The preparation of the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be the sole responsibility and cost of the Fee Payer.

3. Any person who requests to perform an Independent Fee Calculation Study shall pay an application fee for administrative costs associated with the review and decision on such Study.

4. The Independent Fee Calculation Study for the road impact fee shall be calculated by the use of the following applicable formula:

a.  Road impact fee formula.

FEE = VMT x NET COST/VMT

VMT = PHT x % NEW x LENGTH ÷ 2

PHT = Trip ends during the PM peak hour during an average weekday

% NEW = percent of trips that are primary trips, as opposed to passby or diverted-link trips

LENGTH = Average length of a trip on the major roadway system

÷ 2 = Avoids double-counting trips for origin and destination

NET COST/VMT = COST/VMT - CREDIT/VMT, calculated to be $592.00 per daily peak hour vehicle-mile of travel on the major roadway system in the Road Impact Fee Study.

b.  Drainage impact fee formula.

FEE = SF x NET COST/SF

SF = Square feet of impervious cover

NET COST SF = COST/SF - GRANT/SF - ONSITE/SF - REV/SF, calculated to be $0.36 per square foot of impervious cover in the Drainage Impact Fee Study.

COST SF = Cost per square foot of impervious cover for regional drainage improvements that eliminate the need for on-site retention, calculated to be $1.02 in the Drainage Impact Fee Study.

GRANT/SF = Grant funding credit per square foot of impervious cover, calculated to be $0.11 in the Drainage Impact Fee Study.

ONSITE/SF = The cost per square foot of impervious cover for on-site retention, calculated to be $0.58 in the Drainage Impact Fee Study.

REV/SF = Revenue credit per square foot for drainage district or other taxes or fees used for improvements to the Major Drainage System, calculated as the net present value of future payments over a 20-year period.

5.  For the purpose of road impact fees, the fee calculation shall be based on data, information or assumptions contained in the Road Impact Fee Study or independent sources, provided that:

a.  The fee calculation is based on the long-term impacts of the development, rather than the unique characteristics of the proposed initial occupant or user; and

b.  The independent source is an accepted standard source of transportation engineering or planning data, or a local study on trip characteristics carried out by a qualified traffic planner or engineer pursuant to an accepted methodology of transportation planning or engineering.

6.  Procedure.

a.  An Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be undertaken through the submission of an application for an independent fee calculation. A potential Fee Payer or the Impact Fee Administrator may submit such an application.

b.  Within ten (10) days of receipt of an application for Independent Fee Calculation Study from a fee payer, the Impact Fee Administrator shall determine if the application is complete. If the Impact Fee Administrator determines that the application is not complete, a written statement specifying the deficiencies shall be sent by mail to the person submitting the application. The application shall be deemed complete if no deficiencies are specified. The Impact Fee Administrator shall take no further action on the application until it is deemed complete.

c.  When the Impact Fee Administrator determines that the application is complete, the application shall be reviewed and the Impact Fee Administrator shall render a written decision in thirty (30) days on whether the fee should be modified and, if so, what the amount should be, based on the standards in subsection 2-009.00(B)IV.G.7. below.

7.  Standards.

If, on the basis of generally-recognized principles of impact analysis, it is determined that the data, information and assumptions used by the applicant to calculate the Independent Fee Calculation Study satisfy the requirements of this subsection 2-009.00(B)IV.G., the fee determined in the Independent Fee Calculation Study shall be deemed the fee due and owing for the proposed Impact-Generating Development. The adjustment shall be set forth in a Fee Agreement. If the Independent Fee Calculation Study fails to satisfy the requirements of this subsection, the fee applied shall be that fee established for the Impact-Generating Development in subsection 2-009.00(B)IV.F. above.

8.  Appeal of decision.

a.  A Fee Payer affected by the administrative decision of the Impact Fee Administrator on an Independent Fee Calculation Study may appeal such decision to the St. Tammany Parish Council, by filing with the Impact Fee Administrator  within ten (10) days of the date of the written decision a written notice stating and specifying briefly the grounds of the appeal. The Impact Fee Administrator shall place the appeal on the Council's agenda for the next regularly scheduled meeting.

b.  The Parish Council, after hearing, shall have the power to affirm or reverse the decision of the Impact Fee Administrator. In making its decision, the Council shall specify the reasons for its decision and apply the standards in subsection 2-009.00(B)IV.G.7. above.  If the Council reverses the decision of the Impact Fee Administrator, it shall direct the Administrator to recalculate the fee in accordance with its decision.

2. If, at the end of any fiscal year, a political subdivision or special district has not adopted, in accordance with this Article and other applicable law, a budget for the ensuing fiscal year with the necessary appropriations, then subject to paragraph (a) above, those political subdivisions or special districts which are required by law to have their budgets approved by the Police Jury or parish governing authority shall within ten days (10) thereof serve notice of their failure to adopt a budget for the ensuing fiscal year to the Police Jury, said notice to be by certified mail.

2. Any official of a political subdivision who knowingly authoriz­ed or made such payment or incurred such obligation or caused such payment or disbursement to be authorized or made such obligation to be incurred also shall be liable to the political subdivision for any amount so paid. However, no official of a political subdivision shall be held liable if the official has formally submitted a written memorandum to the governing authority of the political subdivision stating that approving such obligation will cause a violation to occur or will cause payment or disbursement to be authorized that exceeds the expenditures approved in the appropriation Ordinance. For the purposes of this Section the term "official" shall mean any officer or employee of the political subdivision who is subordinate to the governing authority.
3. The members of the governing authority shall not be personally liable for expenditures which are within the budget adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Article, but which exceed revenue collections.
4. Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the making of contracts for governmental services or for capital outlay for a period exceeding one (1) year if such contracts are allowed otherwise by law.

All contracts for services, labor, public works or capital outlay shall be separately identified with certainty by contractor name and amount in the appropriation Ordinance of the budget or in any amendments thereto provided however that nothing contained herein shall prohibit the political sub­division or special district from administering to emergencies as provided for in law and in Section 2-082.0 herein.

Exemption from this require­ment is allowed only in those cases where the political subdivision or special district files with the Police Jury a copy of a certification or letter from the Legislative Auditor at the time it submits its budget to the Police Jury, stating that the particular political subdivision or special district is not required by law or the Legislative Auditor s Office to file its budget with the Legislative Auditor.
2. It shall be the duty of the chairman of any board or commission of any political subdivision or special district to report any communicated non-compliance found by [the] Legislative Auditor to the President of the St. Tammany Parish Police Jury within fifteen days (15) of receipt of said communication attaching a copy of any alleged non-compliance to the report.

The Police Jury shall review the entire budget and either accept it or reject it. Should the budget be rejected because of any objection to any part or parts therein, the budget shall be returned to the board or commission of the political subdivision or special district with suggestions or instructions of what must be corrected or accom­plished in order to obtain Police Jury approval. Once the board or commission of the political subdivision or special district complies with these requirements, it shall resubmit the budget to the Clerk or Secretary of the Police Jury in accordance with the procedures for submitting initial budgets established in other provisions of this Article provided however, that any reconsidera­tion of the budget by the board or commission of a political subdivision or special district does not have to comply with the provisions of advertisement or public inspection. Minimal requirements of the open meetings law however will be required. (Ord. No. 84-64, adopted 03/15/84)

Where there is a governing body of the political subdivision, any amendment involving transfer of funds from one department, office, agency or other entity to another or from one program or function to another or increases in expenditures resulting from revenues exceeding amounts estimated, shall require the approval of the governing body. (Ord. No. 84-64, adopted 03/15/84)

Nothing in this Article shall prohibit the expenditure of funds in cases of an emergency. For purposes of this Article, an "emergen­cy" means an unforeseen mischance bringing with it destruction or injury of life or property or the imminent threat of such destruc­tion or injury. (Ord. No. 84-64, adopted 03/15/84)

1. Violations of this Article may be enforced by legal proceedings seeking mandamus, injunction or declaratory relief to require compliance herewith.
2. Non-compliance with any provisions of this Article shall be grounds for removal of any member of any board or commission of the political subdivisions or special districts covered herein for any willful refusal, failure or negligence to perform any of the requirements or provisions herein. It shall also be grounds for removal from office of any member of any board or commission when any officer or employee under the employment and general supervision of the board or commission willfully refuses or fails to perform any duty established herein which has been assigned said officer or employee by the board or commission or by law, provided however, that it shall be a defense to the removal of any member of a board or commission that said employee or officer has been disciplined by the board or commission prior to the institution of or the notice of a removal hearing by the appointing authority of the board or commission members.
3. The duties herein established are deemed lawful and mandatory duties and any willful refusal or failure to perform any of said duties may subject the violator of same to criminal malfeasance as provided for by law. (Ord. No. 84-64, adopted 03/15/84)

The purpose of the 22nd Judicial District Children and Youth Planning Board is to assist in the formulation of a comprehensive plan for the development, implementation, and operation of services and programs that address the needs of children and youth, including those at risk for, or identified with, social, emotional, or developmental problems, including, but not limited to educational failure, abuse, neglect, exposure to violence, juvenile or parental mental illness, juvenile or parental substance abuse, poverty, developmental disabilities and delinquency.

The infrastructure for planning is intended to be data-driven in order to select appropriate evidence-based programs which will maximize available resources.

The Louisiana State Legislature authorizes the establishment of children and youth planning boards to assist in development, implementation, and operation of services which encourage positive development, diversion of children and youth from the criminal justice and the foster care system, reduction in the commitments of youth to state institutions, and providing community response to the growing rate of juvenile delinquency.

The coordination and implementation of services shall include, but are not limited to prevention, early intervention, diversion, alternatives to home displacement, alternatives to incarceration, and treatment services. Through such boards, the state intends to foster and promote a continuum of community-based services and systems reflecting service integration at the state and community or local levels.

The Louisiana Children’s Cabinet, a state agency within the Office of the Governor, shall facilitate the creation of children and youth planning boards by offering guidance and technical assistance to local communities and governing authorities, including resource identification, needs assessments, monitoring and performance evaluation, strategic planning and other forms of assistance and support.

The 22nd Judicial District Children and Youth Planning Board shall encompass the Parishes of St. Tammany and Washington and consist of fourteen (14) members, ten (10) appointed by the St. Tammany Parish governing authority and four (4) appointed by the Washington Parish governing authority.

Those appointed shall include, but need not be limited to: members of the education community, criminal justice community, health care community, social services community, faith-based community, business and labor communities, and parenting and youth organizations.

Terms of all members shall be for a period of two (2) years. Vacancies shall be filled by the original appointing authority in the same manner provided by state law.

Board members representing St. Tammany shall include eight (8) appointed by the Parish Council and two (2) appointed by the Parish President.
