Board approvals: agenda, minutes and vote to enter executive session (CPRA meeting, March 19, 2025)
Summary
At the March 19 CPRA board meeting members approved the agenda and minutes and voted unanimously to enter executive session on listed litigation matters; motions, movers and seconders are recorded in the minutes.
The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority Board recorded three formal actions during the public portion of its March 19 meeting: approval of the meeting agenda, approval of the minutes and a motion to enter executive session to discuss pending litigation.
Approval of the agenda: A motion to approve the agenda was made by Dwayne Bourgeois and seconded by Mister Hidalgo. The board voted in favor; the chair called for objections and none were voiced.
Approval of minutes: A motion to approve the minutes was made (mover recorded as Mister Aldagol) and seconded by Mister Alford; the chair called for objections and none were voiced and the motion passed.
Motion to enter executive session: A motion to enter executive session to discuss two pending lawsuits was made by Mister Bourgeois and seconded by Mister Davis. The board first asked for public comment on the matter (none offered). The board then conducted a roll‑call voice vote; members present were recorded as voting yes and the motion passed unanimously. The chair noted the meeting would proceed to executive session to discuss case dockets listed in the minutes.
Why it matters: The executive session subjects included federal and state litigation related to sediment diversion and related Corps and resource‑agency actions; the board’s transition to executive session closed the public portion for those agenda items.
