Also present in the meeting were Raymond Wade, Executive Director; Simon Gottung, Deputy Director; Cindy Cutrera, Economic Development Manager; Tori Henry, Office Manager; Michael Knobloch, Special Projects Manager; Gerard Bourgeois, Board Attorney; Robert Karam, T. Baker Smith; Kevan Keiser and Bill Blanchard, GIS Engineering; MST1 Alberto Perez, United States Coast Guard (“USCG”); and members of the general public.
The meeting was called to order, and the presence of a quorum was noted. Raymond Wade led the invocation, and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
It was moved by Mr. Mayon and seconded by Mr. Lombardo that the minutes of the regular meeting of April 20, 2026 be approved and adopted, with said motion carrying unanimously.
It was moved by Mr. Mayon that the report of receipts and disbursements for the month of April, 2026 be received and accepted and that all invoices presented to the Board for the month of April, 2026 be paid. Mr. Lombardo seconded that motion, which carried un- animously.
Tim Connell reported that: (i) Dredge Arulaq continues working with funding available until the end of the contract; (ii) Dredge Mike Hooks completed dredging and invited everyone to check out the surveys of a completely open channel; and (iii) after some reports of groundings in Stouts Pass, it was determined the vessels were outside of the channel but Dredge Captain Frank will be used to expand the footprint of the available water.
MST1 Alberto Perez reported that: (i) they have received a few grounding reports in Stouts Pass and have issued Broadcast Notice to Mariners. Mr. Connell noted they are plotting precise locations to make sure the vessels are going where they need to go and requested the ANT work the physical buoys; and (ii) there were 2,272 total transits in April through the VTS zone, averaging 76 per day.
Charles Brittingham reported that: (i) FY26 Work Plan included an additional $14 million for O&M, in addition to the $31 million that was included in the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill; and (ii) FY27 Work Plan includes $30 million for O&M, which is a far cry from the days of receiving $6 million annually.
Michael Knobloch reported that: (i) Session will end June 1st, at which time we will know if any of our capital outlay funding was moved from P5 to P1; (ii) FY26 PIDP application is due June 1st and we are applying for a new 35,000SF Multi- modal warehouse in the amount of $7.2 million, with a local match of $1.8 million; (iii) the crane buckets will be delivered later this month and the 25-ton forklift will be delivered mid- July from the FY23 PIDP grant award; and (iv) our annual audit for the Facility Security Plan is due next month, so he will be meeting with Kim Macaluso to discuss next week.
Robert Karam requested an amendment to their engineering agreement to move $30,000 from construction/admin phase to the bidding phase, with Mr. Cornes moving, Mr. Mayon seconding and motion carrying unanimously. He also reported that they have revised the plan set for the West Dock project, removing the alternate and making some other cost- saving revisions.
Mr. Mayon mov-ed to authorize advertisement for bid, contingent up- on DOTD and FP&C approvals, which was seconded by Mr. Wise and carried unanimously.
Kevan Keiser re- ported the following on the Bolling-er Projects: (i) after working with the Corps to develop, the access channel plans are ready to be submitted to FP&C for approval, so Mr. Mayon moved to authorize advertisement for quote, contingent upon FP&C approval, which was seconded by Mr. Cornes and carried unanimously; (ii) slip dredging was substantially complete in October of 2025, but because of negotiations on the virgin material, it had not been settled. Mr. Bourgeois noted according to FP&C guidelines you are supposed to file substantial completion in record so he suggested a change order to extend the days on contract but not assess penalties. Mr. Cornes moved to authorize said change order, which was seconded by Mr. Lombardo and carried unanimously; and (iii) although we won’t know about funding until June 1st, design plans for the Bulkhead failure are just about complete, which will replace 450 linear feet to address the failure, and also three (3) alternates.
Cindy Cutrera reported that: (i) she would like to get individual and group photos for our website within the next few months; (ii) our 14th Annual Hurricane Preparedness meeting was held on May 12th with over 120 people in attendance; (iii) she attended the Breakbulk and Cargo Conference in New Orleans and had lots of networking opportunities; (iv) we continue to monitor the Lower Mississippi River Comprehensive Management Study and attended a meeting at the St. Mary Levee District (SMLD) with the Corps to discuss concerns about the 70/30 split and Morganza structure. Positive outcomes were that the Corps agreed to work more closely with SMLD during high water to keep them better in- formed of what they are doing and we are also expecting a visit from Colonel Autin to discuss the concerns a little further. She mentioned the last three weeks have been a whirlwind for Simon between boat tours and attending lots of meetings, but he also noted a lot of variety in activity at the Port be- tween rail movement and crane loadouts.
With there being no further business to come before the Board, it was moved by Mr. Mayon and seconded by Mr. Cornes that the meeting was ad- journed.
