At a St. Landry Parish Public Works Committee meeting, Councilwoman Mildred Theory asked that a requested change to the speed limit on Conference Road be forwarded to the full council for discussion.

"The speed is 30 miles per hour, but they're requesting that within the school zone that it's changed to 20," Councilwoman Mildred Theory said, and she asked that the committee vote to send the item to the full council.

The committee voted to forward the request to the full council.

Earlier in the meeting public-works staff presented routine operations metrics. Staff reported December activities including roadcover cleaning on seven roads, culvert installation on 15 roads, debris removal on 40 roads, ditching on 10 roads, grading of 30 roads, material placed on six roads, patching on 28 roads, sign installation on 26 locations, and four tree removals along with responses to washouts.

The committee also forwarded several routine appointment items for various drainage and public-works districts to the full council and handled a resignation notice for a board member (the clerk stated a letter would be placed in the record so advertising could begin). The committee adjourned after routine business.
