Livingston Parish Council approves pavilion and storage for tax assessor complex
Summary
Council approved construction of a 30-by-60-foot open-air pavilion with an under‑pavilion storage room to serve employees at the Livingston Parish governmental complex; the project was presented by Tax Assessor Jeff Taylor.
The Livingston Parish Council voted to approve construction of a 30-by-60-foot open-air pavilion with a 15-by-25-foot secure storage area beneath it for use by the parish tax assessor’s office.
Tax Assessor Jeff Taylor told the council the structure is intended to provide covered outdoor seating for employees and additional secure storage for equipment. "It is not intended for birthday parties," Taylor said. "It is intended to be used here in the complex so people can actually get out on nice days."
The project, described in renderings provided to the council, is intended to serve staff working at the governmental complex and to relieve storage constraints Taylor said developed after office space was reallocated during earlier building changes. A motion to approve the project was made by Councilman Chambers and seconded by Councilman Mangus; the meeting minutes record the proposal as approved (vote tally not specified in the transcript).
The council did not attach additional conditions during the meeting. No building permit, construction schedule, or project budget was presented during the discussion; Taylor said engineers produced the renderings and that additional details could be reviewed by staff before construction starts.
Council members who moved or seconded the measure asked no further questions at the time of the vote, and Taylor told the council he hoped the project would “look nice.”
