Festival representative Dawson Primes reviewed the schedule and described stepped-up security measures following recent events in New Orleans.

Primes said the festival kicks off with a First Guaranty Bank open-house reception and poster reveal, followed by a series of events including a chili cook-off on Friday, a parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, an oyster shucking contest and a 5K and church service on Sunday. He said participating schools — Amied Elementary, Amied Westside, Ameid High School, Roseland Montessori School and Oak Forest Academy — competed in a door-decorating contest and will receive $250 awards in three categories (elementary, junior high and high school).

On security, Primes said the parish took a “very proactive approach” after statewide discussions and will block vehicle access to the festival area. “We will use 2,000 pound, 2,000 pound super sack sandbags that we will use along with dump trucks, mobile command centers,” he said, adding that a local tractor will also be used to help secure perimeter access. Organizers said these measures aim to prevent vehicle access to the event area.

Trey Coxon, the event’s royalty coordinator, introduced the festival royalty and noted the group’s travel and public appearances around the state. Several festival royalty — including 2025 Miss Amy Oyster Festival Mia Terrebonne and others — spoke briefly about their roles and invited the community to attend weekend events.

Primes asked the council to “pray for good weather” and said organizers hope the festival will have a positive economic impact on the city and parish.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tangipahoa Parish Council | March 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Tangipahoa Parish officials previewed the Amy Oyster Festival schedule and said the parish will block vehicle access with heavy sandbags, dump trucks and other measures following statewide security discussions.","taxTitle","Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana","taxId",4558,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6111982,"Tangipahoa Council adopts animal-control fee schedule; introduces solid-waste, fire-district and development ordinances",961,489000,1450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2748796-709216390cc32d9f304319ec423e3cec&start=489&end=1450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2748796-709216390cc32d9f304319ec423e3cec/thumbnail_489000.jpg","/articles/6111982/Tangipahoa-Parish/Louisiana/Tangipahoa-Council-adopts-animal-control-fee-schedule-introduces-solid-waste-fire-district-and-development-ordinances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6111982-ccbb2af1474d47b3552b4abecc95c31e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183277&Signature=ny2mybrWjyfe3PaqzPtcJ8MQApFArP9pgHLwHcYuRLxtrZidq8JauC8lzNDawZWvqCq0t7hyU~EzhOkxQqc-6rVgnwJKxknsMKUn7nwKQnE6GDmFIGH3ERrlg61-Dc-o9gze80~L6gLgQFGLJO3htNHfIk0E3Sisqo09gLGe1jlM-wRh6LJHo8sY9jGv1K5URF5yJh3WylmaGnBJn7vjPK7JATDDd4Or~pqevW4Fk7DHb3BlBelCIPceuCcLZdcH0H4rfo0hxdcMOgw5veJjM252GHYkcLuxruD4J-~GjZTqRw6fbO8l8d1PxJUYLLtKN0zGsh1FQv64aiXBEYIUeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tangipahoa Parish Council unanimously adopted an ordinance to amend the parish animal-control fee schedule and, in the same meeting, introduced three additional ordinances for public hearing on March 24, 2025.

The animal-control fee schedule amendment had been reviewed and approved by the finance committee; Councilman Engraff moved for adoption and the motion passed by roll call with all 10 members voting yes. The council identified no public questions during the meeting before the vote.

Council members then introduced three ordinances and approved them on first reading by roll call (10-0): TP Ordinance 25-04 (amending chapter 38, solid waste — cleanup language approved by the DRC committee), an ordinance amending chapter 40 regarding fire protection district board appointments to permit municipal governing authorities to appoint a member when districts include municipalities, and an ordinance amending chapter 36 (planning and development) to require a wetlands jurisdictional determination letter or wetlands permit and endangered-species determination for development sites over two acres as part of drainage standards.

The council recorded the dates for the public hearings as March 24, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. during its regular meeting. Several council members noted the ordinances had been vetted by committee (finance and DRC) before introduction.

The property at “4845445 Sibley Road, Tickfaw, Louisiana 70466,” assessment number 462551, was the subject of the hearing. Jerry (staff member) told the council he and code enforcement have been working with the owners since September 2024. He said the site consists of two parcels: a southern portion that has already had a burned structure removed, and a northern portion where “there has been no movement” and “there are 2 structures on that property that has been a combination of fire and, has just been falling apart.”

Property owner Judy Gordon said she wanted to be present when any work occurs. “I want to be there when you do it,” she told the council.

Councilman John Havas moved to give the owner 30 days to take action and, if no adequate cleanup occurs, to proceed with demolition; Councilman Joseph seconded the motion. The roll call recorded 10 votes in favor and no opposing votes.

Jerry described the parish’s planned demolition procedure if the council moves forward: the parish will solicit three bids through the accounting office, select the lowest responsible bidder, and notify the property owner two weeks before the scheduled demolition date so the owner can remove any belongings. He and the council clarified the parish’s intent to remove condemned structures only, leaving trees and brush unless otherwise specified.

Council members and staff emphasized that if the owner performs the cleanup within the 30-day period, the parish will not need to take administrative demolition action. If the deadline passes without sufficient progress, the parish’s staff indicated they would proceed administratively and would not need the item returned to the council agenda.

The council took the condemnation motion under regular business later in the meeting and approved the 30‑day timeline by roll call.","After a public hearing, the Tangipahoa Parish Council voted 10-0 to give the owner 30 days to address blight at a Tickfaw property (assessment 462551) before the parish proceeds with condemnation and demolition.","actionData","errors"]
