In a regular meeting held on September 19, 2024, the Livingston Parish Council convened with all members present to discuss several key ordinances and community matters. The meeting began with an invocation led by Dean Coats, followed by a pledge of allegiance.

One of the significant topics addressed was the addition of Private First Class Eugene Selders' name to the Livingston Parish Veterans Wall. Selders, who was killed in action during the Vietnam War, was recognized as a resident of Livingston Parish despite his address being listed under Tangipahoa Parish. The council unanimously adopted a resolution to honor his sacrifice, allowing for his name to be engraved on the memorial.

Additionally, the council held a public hearing regarding several ordinances related to millage rates for the library and parish taxes for the 2024 tax year. Concerns were raised by Abby Crosby, a member of the library board, regarding a discrepancy in the millage rate due to paperwork issues, which had resulted in a reduction from 7.75 to 7.53.

The meeting also included the adoption of minutes from the previous council meeting and a report from the parish president, highlighting ongoing community initiatives. The council encouraged public participation, allowing residents to voice their opinions on the discussed ordinances.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to honoring local veterans and addressing community concerns regarding taxation and public services.
