Board issues public notice of intent to call sales tax renewal election for April meeting
Summary
The Saint Mary Parish School Board read a legal notice announcing its intent to consider ordering a renewal 0.5% sales-and-use tax and set a public meeting on April 10 for formal action and details.
At the March 13 meeting the Saint Mary Parish School Board read the formal public announcement required as the first step in the notice process for a proposed 0.5% sales-and-use tax renewal. The notice, prepared by the district’s bonding attorney, sets a public meeting for 5:30 p.m. on April 10 in the Evans Madon Meeting Room at the central office complex to consider adopting a resolution ordering and calling the election.
Miss Foisin read the timeline provided by the bonding attorney, Jason Acres, and told the board the attorney would attend the April 10 meeting to answer questions about the election process and documents. The board did not take a final vote on the renewal at the March meeting; the reading constituted the public-notice step required by law.
The board’s action at this meeting was procedural: it announced the date and location for the required public meeting and indicated that more specific ballot language and financial details would be presented at the April 10 meeting when the bonding attorney is present.
No formal resolution ordering the election was adopted at the March meeting; that action is scheduled for the board’s April meeting.
