Council members described the chapter 1 action as a motion to change the minimum fine in the general penalty provision from $50 to $100; the council called a public hearing on Feb. 18 to consider adoption of that ordinance. Separately, the council voted to call a public hearing on Feb. 18 to consider an ordinance that would amend and reenact provisions of chapter 7 of the code.

During discussion of the chapter 7 package, Alderman Core said he wanted one amendment removed after receiving correspondence from City Attorney Michael Landry. Council members agreed to omit item j from the amended ordinance; the transcript records that Landry advised the item could be excluded. Alderman Core and Alderman Steph Martin offered the motion to call the public hearing on the chapter 7 package, and the motion carried.

The council did not adopt the ordinances at the meeting; both actions were votes to set public hearings on Feb. 18. The transcript records the motions and the council's approval to schedule hearings; it does not record final ordinance language beyond the item references or a final vote on the ordinances themselves.

Details recorded from the meeting:
- Chapter 1, section 1-8: motion to change minimum fine from $50 to $100; council called public hearing for 02/18/2025 (motion carried).
- Chapter 7: motion to call public hearing for 02/18/2025 to consider multiple amendments; council agreed to omit item j (a proposed curfew-age change) based on city attorney Michael Landry's advice.
- Both items were described as calls for public hearings; no final ordinance adoption occurred at the meeting.

The council indicated that the public hearings will allow public comment and further legal review before any ordinance is adopted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Crowley Meeting - 01/29/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council adopted resolutions calling for a Feb. 18, 2025 public hearing on an ordinance to amend chapter 1, section 1-8 (general penalty) and a separate public hearing on an ordinance to amend chapter 7 (criminal code); the council removed item j (a proposed curfew-age change) after city attorney guidance.","taxTitle","Crowley, Acadia Parish, Louisiana","taxId",59860,"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},6039929,"Crowley council approves two Class B liquor permits; Alderman Reggie recuses from both votes",137,785000,922000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e&start=785&end=922","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e/thumbnail_785000.jpg","/articles/6039929/Crowley/Acadia-Parish/Louisiana/Crowley-council-approves-two-Class-B-liquor-permits-Alderman-Reggie-recuses-from-both-votes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039929-211da3cf05f44e41d02b616d27b57293/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204117&Signature=Igsap8BoP0v4myXODLizx7QepI2PxZ0wFDpQ9J9zuWVSn88jaQ2QAq~aMryKIQHxot6NnGXHR69nhM3L7ePvUAUMzGKVPH3kK7GWUYWXQzMbeMH7NAlpzdCWRws3tEYwz8Q8jQMb1r9zUTxi4pEGTARCyh7Zv3rrE6aiOZz55x3ku17-1aUQG8J7QSBG35Xt52473XLdyd2pfOO9qc-jmbs4foEQ7cNrTh6tEwIzKPpXI37hFV19JtEMtENoWYL9czkazBnPpzi7B05X4GtBffHpq-7I~7CzjH0~zwYQVrTJCz1muJmTLjG-RD2WUV-9sFG-VUdrQqTnlhcPAPJgBg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Jan. 14 meeting, the Crowley City Council approved a 2025 Class B beer and liquor renewal application for South Crowley Pantry and approved consideration of an application for Silver Investments LLC doing business as Cajun Mart.

Alderman Brad Core moved to approve the South Crowley Pantry renewal; Alderman Jeff Dorey seconded the motion. Alderman Samuel Reggie recused himself from that vote. The motion carried.

Council members then considered an application, listed on the agenda as new, for Silver Investments LLC, d/b/a Cajun Mart at 109 Southeastern Avenue. Council members said the application appears to be a renewal under new ownership; Alderman Core offered the motion, which Alderman Steph Martin seconded. Alderman Reggie again recused himself. The motion carried.

The meeting record did not include roll-call tallies beyond the recorded recusals and a general \"all in favor,\" so the minutes show the motions carried but do not list individual yes/no votes. No conditions or follow-up inspections were specified in the meeting record.

Details recorded from the meeting:
- South Crowley Pantry: 2025 Class B beer and liquor renewal approved (motion: Alderman Brad Core; second: Alderman Jeff Dorey); Alderman Samuel Reggie recused himself.
- Silver Investments LLC d/b/a Cajun Mart: application approved for consideration/renewal; location listed as 109 Southeastern Avenue; motion offered by Alderman Core and seconded by Alderman Steph Martin; Alderman Samuel Reggie recused himself.

The council did not specify whether the Cajun Mart application was a true new license or a renewal under new ownership; council members noted the agenda listed it as a new application but said it may be renewal paperwork for new owners.","The council approved a 2025 Class B beer and liquor renewal for South Crowley Pantry and action on an application for Silver Investments LLC doing business as Cajun Mart; Alderman Samuel Reggie recused himself from the related votes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6039936,"Crowley council approves up to $225,000 for records building; $78,090 paid to contractor on park project",473,1387000,1860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e&start=1387&end=1860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e/thumbnail_1387000.jpg","/articles/6039936/Crowley/Acadia-Parish/Louisiana/Crowley-council-approves-up-to-225000-for-records-building-78090-paid-to-contractor-on-park-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039936-c19a5539811e616745d4f6f162d25e6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204117&Signature=P0zmIaNajOOt62P1DLiGYIkrFIxrgDkQwTxoPrxPudP5Dox-KqDdl6y317XsbHzbrUT2-WEyKBgyqnbpoO69RGXNwj7jn70GqWHHU2BvjXlg5-r0JjfRSojtTaJmTko-D7wFh0dUVlrU5rmP-5ZpPkbpq7BP788ztbRar4Zjtll50~-NqWl1YEgzs1kUdJh7fbMANhR4TTW9MKG39n5t-S2rUQgRAxrLBeArZyiWWfBoP8icWIN6CZsFijNPow1ShZYvxRrUE-hfMBjFBQ8Totfrr57gyODKbMdFp999WYmiOKemwXR9EXn81xS0DQFY9uPhWOREdMJ7Oob6N~ETvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Crowley City Council voted to appropriate up to $225,000 from the city's Infrastructure Fund investment account to build a new records-storage facility and approved payment No. 2 of $78,090 to Prestigious Contract Group LLC for work on the Urban Park and Pavilion project.

Alderman Willridge described the proposed records building as a 60-by-100-foot metal structure to sit on the southwest corner of the police department parking lot, divided into four compartments with four north-side doors so city court, city hall, police and fire records would be stored separately. He said the building would be climate controlled for preservation purposes and have security cameras. Willridge told the council the city has about 60 file cabinets plus boxes of older records and that some materials must be kept permanently.

The council discussed design and historic-district review. Willridge said he plans to work with the historic district and is willing to match colors to nearby buildings. He also said the city has considered digitizing records but lacks the staffing and infrastructure to complete a full conversion now; he noted that some original signatures must be retained on paper records. The council voted to appropriate funds during the meeting; earlier in the agenda a referral language had said \"up to $250,000\" when requesting committee consideration, but the council ultimately approved appropriation of up to $225,000.

Separately, the council approved payment No. 2 on the Urban Park and Pavilion project to Prestigious Contract Group LLC in the amount of $78,090. That payment was offered by Alderman Willridge and seconded by Alderman Lachele; the motion carried.

Details recorded from the meeting:
- Records building: proposed 60 by 100 feet, four internal compartments, climate control, security cameras (Alderman Willridge)
- Proposed site: southwest corner of the police department parking lot (Alderman Willridge)
- Funding: appropriation of up to $225,000 from the Infrastructure Fund investment account (motion carried)
- Earlier referral language had referenced \"up to $250,000\"; council approved $225,000 at this meeting (clarification reported by Revenue & Finance committee)
- Urban Park and Pavilion payment No. 2: $78,090 paid to Prestigious Contract Group LLC (motion carried)

Council members said they would coordinate historic-district review and consider future-proofing the slab for potential expansion, but no changes beyond the approved appropriation were adopted at the meeting.","The council approved an appropriation of up to $225,000 from the infrastructure fund for a new records-storage building and authorized payment No. 2 of $78,090 to Prestigious Contract Group LLC for the Urban Park and Pavilion project.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6039940,"Crowley uses LGAP funds to buy Jersey barriers, seeks additional hostile-vehicle grant ahead of Mardi Gras",311,357000,668000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e&start=357&end=668","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3781098-68fcbc6e262ee935a172b958473a2c1e/thumbnail_357000.jpg","/articles/6039940/Crowley/Acadia-Parish/Louisiana/Crowley-uses-LGAP-funds-to-buy-Jersey-barriers-seeks-additional-hostile-vehicle-grant-ahead-of-Mardi-Gras","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6039940-b7a024db11bc5d72ef2f9b0cc97d0edf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771204117&Signature=dmZzebPj9ecizw5BHtuOoQ8251yj9Al8cE9dGRR8LfcJ4bIcj~dq2ZNahOBE5pud-Ue1k3YiVrol78Fhns6STIk~jXsiZrsYfsku1GgZNJlr9IgJDqvPSRxb8X-SQqTUXaJaO85wklPCyqpSfdkAeBQG7QLAJzRXdDiEP0VFy-jgQI0sJiYRDJGGcVradpUL1IPXdZT-y5yswJDvG19kovddgWtmSxzezz377zsFpeWFMD4wuImJ1kedJ~gCQ-p3UQTMRVQ-02vObL14J7QxW7PtezHRZln3eiSkUF93yIJvzXiyPVyVnbVZNdvWzudpM6pFM4Zsl-Rm5zGTb91-vA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Crowley Mayor Maso said the city ordered 36 water-fillable Jersey barriers using $14,200 in LGAP funds and is applying for a grant to buy movable hostile-vehicle barricades ahead of the city's Mardi Gras celebrations.

The purchase and grant application are part of the city's effort to permanently restrict vehicle access during downtown festivals while leaving controlled points open for first responders, Maso said.

Mayor Maso told the council the barriers are 72 inches long and 42 inches high, are filled with water for stability and should arrive in time for Mardi Gras. He said the city will use dump trucks and trailers to move the plastic units and that police and fire officials have met with him on the security plan. He also said staff is preparing a grant application for movable hostile-vehicle barricades that would allow controlled intersections to open for first responders when needed.

The Public Works Committee previously approved a motion to apply for the LGAP fiscal-year 2024-25 grant; that committee action was reported to the full council. Alderman Jeff Dorey reported the committee motion was offered by Alderman Dorey and seconded by Alderman Marks, and the committee vote carried.

The city's description of the barriers and the timing indicate the measures are focused on crowd and vehicle control during large downtown events. Mayor Maso said the measures reflect changing tactics for public-safety planning around events that draw large crowds.

City officials also said they are continuing to explore grants to buy movable barriers that would allow first-responder access through designated points while blocking other approaches. No contract for the movable barriers had been awarded at the meeting, and the grant application was described as ongoing work by staff.

Details recorded from the meeting:
- LGAP funds used: $14,200 (Mayor Maso)
- Units ordered: 36 Jersey barriers (Mayor Maso)
- Barrier dimensions described: 72 inches long, 42 inches high (Mayor Maso)
- Intended use: permanent roadway blocking during events with limited openings for emergency access; movable barricade grant in development (Mayor Maso)
- Public Works Committee: approved LGAP grant application (motion: Alderman Jeff Dorey; second: Alderman Sandy Marks)

City officials tied the purchases directly to public-safety planning for the recurring downtown festival and Mardi Gras. No additional funding votes for the movable barricades were taken at the meeting. The city did not provide a vendor name or per-unit cost beyond the total LGAP amount used for the Jersey barriers.","Mayor Maso told the City Council the city used $14,200 in LGAP funds to order 36 water-fillable Jersey barriers for downtown event security and that staff is applying for a separate grant for movable hostile-vehicle barricades.","actionData","errors"]
