Council approves municipal audit, adopts compliance questionnaire and OKs playground sound-system funding
Summary
At its April meeting the Harahan City Council approved three items: acceptance of the municipal water pollution prevention audit report, adoption of the 2024 Louisiana compliance questionnaire and a budget amendment to fund press-box sound systems for city ballfields; vote counts were reported on the record.
The Harahan City Council approved three formal items during the meeting: a municipal water-pollution audit report, the city's 2024 Louisiana compliance questionnaire and an ordinance amending the capital projects budget to fund a sound system for the cityballfield press boxes.
The council voted unanimously to accept the municipal water pollution prevention environmental audit report for the period Jan. 1, 2024, through Dec. 31, 2024. The transcript records a motion to approve followed by a 5-0 recorded vote.
The council then adopted the 2024 Louisiana compliance questionnaire. The public hearing on that item drew no speakers; the record shows the motion passed with a reported tally of four yeas and one abstention (4-0-1).
Council members also approved Ordinance 2025-2, an amendment to the 2025 budget for the capital projects fund to add funding for a sound system for the Wilcox Field, the Dixie Youth Field and the Arsenal Field press boxes. Council discussion included technical questions about wiring, warranties and the availability of a wireless microphone; the motion carried 5-0.
Other procedural actions taken on the record during the meeting included amending the agenda to add Proposed Resolution 2025-4 (passed 5-0), approval of the minutes from the March 20, 2025 meeting (5-0) and scheduling or deferral of minor items such as a planning-and-zoning appointment.
The transcript does not contain the precise ordinance language for the budget amendment or an exact final dollar amount in the ordinance text; during discussion council members cited figures orally but the recorded ordinance vote and the resolution adoptions were taken on the record.
