Commission enters executive session, then accepts offer in pending LMB Services litigation and approves related change order
Summary
After a closed executive session on pending litigation with LMB Services LLC, the commission returned and voted to accept an offer. Separately, the commission approved change order No. 2 for the airport obstruction removal project with an increase of $41,496.79 and five days for LMB Services.
The Greater Lafourche Port Commission convened an executive session to discuss pending litigation with LMB Services LLC and, on returning to the public meeting, approved a motion to accept the offer discussed in executive session.
The transcript records the chair calling for and completing the executive session; upon return the commission made a motion to accept the offer, a second was recorded, and the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript does not record the settlement amount or the detailed terms discussed in executive session.
In a related public agenda item, the commission also approved change order No. 2 from LMB Services for the airport obstruction removal project. The change order increases the contract by $41,496.79 and adds five calendar days to the schedule; the development committee recommended approval and the commission adopted the change order by voice vote.
The finance report later listed a payment described as a settlement for the obstruction removal project to LMB Services LLC and another vendor for $185,000; the transcript identifies that payment line in the list of April expenditures but does not explicitly tie that figure to the executive-session offer approved earlier in the meeting. The commission did not provide additional public detail about the executive-session discussion during the open portion of the meeting.
