After evaluating my first 100 days in office, certain points of achievement stand out.

1. We have hired an outstanding executive staff. People who have worked at the courthouse for years have said this is the best staff they’ve ever seen. I am proud to have these very capable, skilled workers helping me every day.
   
   
2. Our Recreation Department has gotten off to a great start. The fields and facilities are getting back into shape thanks to efforts from our hardworking field crews. We’ve also made strides in teams’ organization by making sure competition is fair.
   
   
3. Our Public Works, Drainage and Wastewater crews are doing a great job of fixing infrastructure problems permanently instead of simply putting bandages on them.
   
   
4. Our waterworks department recently won an award for having the best tasting water in the state. We’ve now reduced our unbilled water production to a mere 10 percent.
   
   
5. Our Emergency Operations Center is the best in the state. We are training all parish personnel in the roles they will be playing during a storm event.
   
   
6. We’ve hired a firm to evaluate the parish’s pay policies. We have also implemented a new take-home vehicle policy to curb unnecessary use of parish-owned cars and trucks.
   
   
7. We’re still working diligently with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and DNR to get a permit for the West Bank Hurricane Protection Levee.
   
   
8. We’ve applied for a grant to install sheet pilings above Bayou Des Allemands. This will offer storm surge protection for residents.
   
   
9. We are speaking to land owners along Hwy. 90 near the Davis Diversion Project seeking land to construct a state-of-the-art boat launch. We are looking to lease St. Charles’ existing boat launch in Bayou Gauche and upgrade that site as well.
   
   
10. The courthouse has a clean, fresh look with new trees, landscaping and energy-efficient parking lot lighting. We will soon be erecting ‘Welcome to St. Charles Parish’ signs on both sides of the river.
    
    
11. Over the next few months we are planning to embark on our road repair program with the help of Public Works.
