Parish committee ratifies consultant for Bayou Country Sports Park dog park; $150,000 donation to be added by budget amendment
Summary
The Public Service Committee ratified hiring All South Consulting Engineers LLC for the Bayou Country Sports Park dog park project and acknowledged a $150,000 donation to be included via an upcoming budget amendment; members corrected a district labeling error in the packet.
The Terrebonne Parish Public Service Committee ratified a resolution to appoint All South Consulting Engineers LLC to provide professional services for the Bayou Country Sports Park dog park project and authorized executing an agreement for those services. The committee approved the appointment by a 9-0 vote.
Staff told members the project is funded in part by a donation that will be handled as a budget amendment at a subsequent meeting. “It is a hundred and 50 thousand was the donation,” a staff member said, noting the donation will be approved Wednesday night as a budget amendment.
Members also corrected a clerical error in meeting materials: the sports park is in District 6, not District 7 as the packet showed. Councilmember Danny Babin raised the point and members confirmed the correct district before voting.
Action taken: The resolution ratifying the appointment was moved and seconded and carried 9-0. Committee members were told there is not yet a fully executed contract; the firm was being appointed so staff can proceed once the budget amendment and contract details are finalized.
Why it matters: The appointment moves the dog park project into the professional-services stage; the donation and contract-related budget amendments will appear on the council’s upcoming agenda and must be approved before funds are expended.
