Title
A resolution requesting the Parish President cease any and all activity with Plan Review and Inspection, LLC owned by Ray Davezac.
Body
WHEREAS, it has been reported that Mr. Ray Davezac has been linked to a bribery scheme involving former St. John the Baptist Parish President Bill Hubbard; and,
WHEREAS, Mr. Bill Hubbard has since pleaded guilty to said bribery charges; and,
WHEREAS, as of this date the St. Charles Parish Council has not received any reports from the St. Charles Parish Legal Department, which is supposedly conducting a review, since September 2009 of contracts with Mr. Davezac as they may relate to possible involvement with the Hubbard bribery case; and,
WHEREAS, no explanation has been received by the Council from Plan Review and Inspection, LLC or Mr. Ray Davezac denying any wrong doing or involvement in the Hubbard bribery scheme; and,

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL, do hereby respectfully request the Parish President to cease any and all activity, now and in the future with Plan Review and Inspection, LLC until such time, its owner Mr. Ray Davezac, provides in writing, proof that he had no involvement with the Hubbard bribery scheme.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Parish President notify Mr. Ray Davezac of this request giving Mr. Ray Davezac ten working days upon notice to respond to the Parish President and full Parish Council of St. Charles Parish.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, supporting a position of fairness that if Mr. Ray Davezac can prove beyond any doubt of having committed or participated in any wrong doing involving the Hubbard bribery scheme, the Parish President, with a supporting resolution of the Parish Council shall reinstate the contract with Plan Review and Inspection, LLC and Mr. Ray Davezac to its unexpired contract terms.
