Summary

The Livingston Parish School Board approved a servitude agreement and cooperative endeavor agreement granting the City of Walker access to property at or near South Walker Elementary so the school can connect to city sewer service; the superintendent was authorized to sign the CEA.

The Livingston Parish School Board voted unanimously to approve a servitude agreement and give the superintendent authority to sign a cooperative endeavor agreement (CEA) with the City of Walker to connect South Walker Elementary to city sewer services.

Superintendent Joe Purvis told the board the agreement would grant access to part of the district's property at or near South Walker Elementary so the city could tie the school into its sewer network and remove the existing on-site sewer plant. Purvis said the board's approval would allow the district to execute the CEA with the city and proceed with the planned work.

Board Member Jeff Cox made the motion to approve the servitude agreement and authorize the superintendent to sign the CEA; Miss Caitlin Cockerham seconded. The board took a roll-call vote; the members present voted in favor and the motion carried.

Board action will allow the City of Walker and the district to coordinate removal of the existing sewer plant and connect South Walker Elementary to municipal sewer service. No cost, schedule, or contractor details for the sewer work were specified in the meeting record.

The board's approval removes a procedural barrier so the city can proceed with design and removal of the onsite system; staff did not provide an implementation timeline during the meeting.
