Zoning Docket 137/07 Request by HOLCIM (US) INC. for a Conditional Use to permit an integrated solid waste/processing/recycling and transfer facility in an HI Heavy Industrial District, on Area II, Lots 8-A01 and 7, in the Third Municipal District
Members of the ENONAC, businesses, and community groups representing Eastern New Orleans requested deferment of action on these two proposals until more research could be completed to address several concerns by residents and local businesses.
A motion was made to approve each request at the zoning meeting this afternoon, but both resulted in votes of 4 to 4, which will therefore be transmitted to the City Council as actions of NO LEGAL MAJORITY.
The City Council will now vote on these two proposals.

State Representative Badon responds to request for an update on our meeting with the fire department about marsh fires in New Orleans East...
We will work to get State money in order to purchase special equipment to handle these fires. Unfortunately, early last week, a new fire erupted. This fire was again on private land. I personally went out to see it with the Fire Chief. It was approximately four hundred yards long and growing. Fortunately, it was an above ground fire. We believe that the rains we had a few days ago, extinguished the fire. We understand that it is a serious matter and we work closely witht he Fire Department get them whatever equipment necessary to fight these fires. - Austin Badon, State Representative
