The Livingston Parish Council meeting on September 27, 2025, focused on several key issues, including the introduction of a significant ordinance regarding the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds and the approval of a waiver for building lines related to a new development project.

The meeting commenced with the invocation and roll call, confirming all council members were present. A public comment period was established, allowing residents to voice their opinions on agenda items, with time limits set for speakers.

One of the primary discussions involved the introduction of proposed ordinance 25-22, which authorizes the incurrence of debt through the issuance of up to $91,290,000 in sales tax revenue bonds. This ordinance aims to outline the terms and conditions of the bonds, including payment details. A public hearing on this matter is scheduled for October 9 at 6 PM. The council unanimously approved the motion to introduce the ordinance.

In a notable shift in the agenda, the council addressed a resolution to waive specific building line requirements for Creekstone Juban 1 LLC, located on Juban Crossing Boulevard. Councilman John Wascomb advocated for the waiver, highlighting the economic benefits of the Juban Crossing development and the necessity of a new four-lane highway connecting Pete's Highway and Juban Road. The council unanimously passed the motion, indicating strong support for the project.

Additionally, the parish president's report included the recommendation of Deborah Proga for the Human Services Authority Board, which was also approved by the council. The appointment of Brandon Browning, who has been serving since May 2024, was ratified, emphasizing the collaborative nature of council appointments.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to fostering economic development in Livingston Parish while ensuring that community interests are considered in new projects. The upcoming public hearing on the bond ordinance will provide an opportunity for further community engagement on these significant financial decisions.
