WJLD Project Needs- 10 year forecast • Levee Lifts Prior to Armoring ($26 M) • Dewatering West Closure Complex (~$4.4 M) • Dewatering Bayou Segnette Complex (~$1.1 M) • Dewatering Lapalco Complex (~$1.1 M) • Additional Levee Lifts and Armoring in 2024 (~30 M) • Total Project Needs $62.6 M SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA FLOOD PROTECTION AUTHORITY-WEST 5

WJLD Funds- 10 year forecast • Capital Project: $ 6.3 M • Bond: $7.5 M • Ten year projected excess revenue $5 M • Projected Available Funds $18.8 M SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA FLOOD PROTECTION AUTHORITY-WEST 6

Additional Millage The WJLD collects roughly $1 million per mill in West Jefferson Total Project Needs: $62.6 M Projected available funds: -$18.8 M Deficiency $43.8 M A $43.8 million deficiency over ten years translates to an additional 4.38 mills per year. The Authority would like ask for 4.75 mills for a ten year period for flood protection. SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA FLOOD PROTECTION AUTHORITY-WEST 7

Summary • LA R.S. 38:101.C requires that, “ Upon completion of the construction of the hurricane protection projects, the responsibility for maintenance and operation of the hurricane protection system shall be assumed by the West Jefferson Levee District, the Orleans Levee District (Algiers Levee District) , Plaquemines Parish, and the Lafourche Basin Levee District, respectively for those portions of the system within each of the parishes .” • State of Louisiana is not responsible for Operation and Maintenance of the system. • The system needs to be maintained to provide the 100 year level of flood protection and to maintain certification required in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in order to provide Jefferson Parish affordable flood insurance rates. • Additional millage would equate to less than $4 per month for the average value of a home on the Westbank (Average home value on Westbank is $175k).
