Votes at a glance: Harahan council approves agenda amendment, event support, license and meeting time
Summary
At its March 20 meeting the Harahan City Council amended its agenda to hear Sen. Kurt Talbot, approved a May procession for Saint Rita, granted a high-content ABC license for Crazy Johnny's, scheduled a June 26 millage public hearing and approved routine minutes; most votes were 4-0 with one absence.
The Harahan City Council recorded several routine approvals on March 20, with most measures passing by 4 yeas and 1 absence.
Key outcomes:
- Amendment to agenda (to bring up Sen. Talbot and other items): Passed 4 yeas, 1 absent. Motion noted as by Councilman Johnston (mover) with amendment proposed by Councilman Chatelaine.
- Approval to dispense with the reading of the Feb. 20 minutes and approval of those minutes: Both motions passed (each recorded as 4 yeas, 1 absent). Motions were moved and seconded by council members on the record during the meeting.
- New business no. 3, support for Saint Rita27s May crowning procession (barricades and police support): Motion by Councilman Chatelaine, second by Councilman Riggs; passed 4 yeas, 1 absent.
- New business no. 4, high-content ABC application (Crazy Johnny's, 2317 Hickory Ave., Suite B for Floyd Michael Landry): Council confirmed paperwork met state requirements and approved the license 4 yeas, 1 absent.
- Set early meeting and public hearing for millage roll forward: Council amended the meeting time to hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. on June 26, 2025; vote passed 4 yeas, 1 absent.
All recorded votes at the meeting used the same council composition: Councilmen Buddy, Chatelaine, Johnston and Henricks voted yes; Councilman Asbell was absent. Where specific mover or seconder names were recorded in the minutes, those names are noted above; when the public record did not provide a named seconder, the clerk recorded the tally only.
Why it matters: These approvals authorize routine municipal actions (event support, licensing and scheduling of a required millage public hearing) and finalize minutes needed for the city record.
Provenance: Each listed action corresponds to votes recorded in the March 20 meeting minutes.
