Terrebonne Parish Council adopts multiple budget amendments and ordinances; continues proposed 2026 budget
The Terrebonne Parish Council approved a number of routine and capital-related budget amendments and ordinances during its Oct. 29 meeting. Council members voted by voice on motions for minutes, financial items and a sequence of budget amendments and capital-outlay adjustments.

Earlier on the agenda members approved minutes from previous sessions and routine financial items. A motion to approve the minutes of the regular council session held Sept. 24, 2025, was moved by Mister Babin and seconded by Mister Amadi; the motion passed 9–0. The accounts-payable bill list and related checklists were approved after motions moved by Miss Kim Chauvin and seconded by Mister Pleasure, with recorded voice tallies entered as passed.

Later in the meeting the council conducted public-hearing calls and voted on a set of ordinance items. The council adopted amendments to the 2025 operating budget and capital-outlay budget for multiple items (motions to adopt and voice votes are recorded below):

- Council on Aging: $61,000 — motion to adopt passed (voice vote recorded as passed).
- Section 8 voucher program: $22,043 — motion to adopt passed.
- Keeping Louisiana Beautiful: $6,438 — motion to adopt passed.
- Overpass capital-outlay adjustment: $263,960 — motion to adopt passed.
- Bayou pump-station allocation: $10,000 — motion to adopt passed.
- Police Department item: $11,160 — motion to adopt passed.
- Emergency Preparedness: $10,435 — motion to adopt passed.
- Dedicated emergency-fund adjustments (three line items totaling multiple amounts reported on the record): motions to adopt passed.

The council also voted to continue consideration of the proposed 2026 parish budget and five-year capital outlay budget to a later meeting for public hearing. Committee reports from Community Development & Planning and Budget & Finance were accepted and multiple appointments to boards and commissions were opened, closed and filled by consent.

Motions on the record showed unanimous or near-unanimous voice tallies on the items presented; the clerk recorded the passage of each motion and the council scheduled follow-up public hearings where statutorily required.
