Bossier City Council approves several ordinances, introduces others; funding, senior services and streaming deals move forward

The Bossier City Council on Sept. 10 adopted several final-reading ordinances and introduced new measures related to streets, water infrastructure, senior services and recreational programming.

The actions included a final-reading correction to Ordinance No. 76 of 2025 to update an address, a $350,000 appropriation from the streets and drainage fund for Benton Road repairs, adoption of a cooperative endeavor agreement under state law with the Bossier Parish coroner and sheriff, and the declaration of certain city equipment as surplus. Council members also introduced first-reading ordinances to appropriate $250,000 from the water capital and contingency fund for Swan Lake–Dean Point waterline planning, to purchase property at 301 Benton Road using Parkway capital funds, and to repeal two earlier ordinances tied to bond language and ceremonial street naming.

Why it matters: the votes advance local infrastructure projects and begin the city’s formal steps to acquire property and consolidate agreements for programs that affect senior services and recreation. The council also moved to fund annual compliance work related to the federal Lead and Copper Rule and approved a streaming partnership that will allow families to watch events at city athletic facilities.
