COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mr. Steve Ramsey moved, seconded by Mr. Steve Lemmons to approve the action of the Road Committee Meeting held earlier today. Motion carried unanimously.
Daniel Thomas spoke concerning the new information that has been received on water bed land ownership. This could be a concern to all that use Dorcheat, because the water bed land had been thought to be owned by the State, now we have found out that due to a ruling in the 1800, Dorcheat was un-navigable and therefore not owned by the state. Parish Attorney, Patrick Jackson has been asked to look over this ruling for the Parish.
