During the Sabine Parish Police Jury meeting on November 20, 2024, significant discussions centered around the awarding of a contract for solid waste management. The jury's solid waste committee recommended Triton Construction LLC for the project after evaluating various vendors. This decision is crucial as it addresses the community's waste management needs and reflects ongoing efforts to improve local infrastructure.

A key point raised during the meeting was the potential for cost savings. The project could see a reduction in expenses if the parish is able to utilize its own clay for construction, which could lower the overall cost to approximately $400,000. This possibility hinges on the results of an upcoming assessment, with a decision expected by December 2, 2024.

Additionally, concerns were noted regarding a potential hidden right-of-way or road that may not be documented on existing plats. The jury plans to consult with a surveyor to clarify this issue, which could impact the project timeline and budget.

Overall, the discussions at this meeting highlight the Police Jury's commitment to managing resources effectively while addressing the community's waste management challenges. The outcomes of these deliberations will be closely watched as they unfold in the coming weeks.
