The Shreveport City Council voted on a series of resolutions and ordinances during its regular meeting, approving an amended 2025 Annual Action Plan for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and adopting multiple budget and zoning changes.
Key actions recorded on the floor included adoption of an amendment and final passage of the 2025 Annual Action Plan (Resolution 85) and passage of a package of budget and capital-appropriation ordinances. The council also approved a motion to reject all bids for the annual supply of ready-mix concrete (Resolution 86), repealed the Shreveport Regional Sports Authority (Resolution 87), and adopted a resolution celebrating Elvira Heller Davis on her 100th birthday (Resolution 88). Resolution 89 was introduced for later consideration.
On zoning and budget matters the council considered multiple ordinances on second reading. Notable votes included approval of a rezoning for a light-industrial parcel (zoning case 25-50-c, Ordinance 62) and appropriations in capital projects and other funds (Ordinances 63, 65, 66). The council postponed action on the 2025 debt-service fund amendment (Ordinance 64).
Several motions were moved and seconded from the dais by named council members. Where the record shows a roll outcome, the clerk recorded unanimous passage with a 7-0 tally. For introduced-but-not-adopted items the clerk recorded introductions and scheduling for future meetings.
