The Sulphur City Council voted to accept a petition to annex property at 2211 Patton Street and took a series of routine administrative and code-enforcement actions during its meeting.
The council approved a resolution accepting a petition for annexation from DD (listed in the notice as DV) Property Holding LLC for property at 2211 Patton Street, at the northwest corner of Patton Street and Post Oak Road. Mayor Dennehy told the council the property owner intends to develop the site and that the investment would be “a very positive thing for Sulphur.” The council voted unanimously to accept the petition and continued the related ordinance to enlarge and extend the city boundary; the property will remain zoned commercially.
In other business, the council: - Introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 20, Section 35 of the city code to clarify flat-fee licensing for certain businesses, including pharmacies, and to align local fees with Louisiana Revised Statute 47:359. The introduction was approved for consideration. - Approved a resolution authorizing advertisement for bids for project ST22-2, a concrete street rehabilitation contract; the council set the bid opening for Tuesday, March 25 at 10 a.m. - Approved removal of a dead or diseased tree at 305 Madison Street under Chapter 17, Article 1 of the code of ordinances.
The meeting also included several code-enforcement votes (see the separate article on condemnation cases for details). Council members voted on each item following motions and seconds; when roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript the members who registered affirmative votes included Miss Eleanor, Mister Nadezak, Miss Carden, Miss Harding and Miss Thomas.
