The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government Budget & Finance Committee approved a slate of procurement and contract items and introduced multiple budget ordinance amendments that will be the subject of public hearings on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.

Among the actions, the committee authorized a subrecipient agreement for Community Development Block Grant—Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) funds between Terrebonne Parish Waterworks District No. 1 and Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government; approved the state contract purchase of a Ford F‑350 utility body truck for the drainage division and additional Ford pickups through a cooperative purchase agreement; awarded the rebid bulk fuel requirements contract for gasoline and diesel to the lowest qualified bidders; and accepted work as complete from Norris and Bujo Contractors LLC under a certificate of substantial completion.

Staff (Candice) presented a first review of the proposed 2026 budget across multiple funds. She said the dedicated emergency fund will primarily reflect principal and interest payments for hurricane recovery bonds and that reimbursements from insurance, FEMA and state sources will be reconciled through budget amendments. On the parish prisoner and jail line items, members requested a follow‑up meeting with jail representatives and a full reconciliation of certain medical and goals figures.

The committee introduced amendments to the 2025 operating and five‑year capital outlay budgets for several funds and items — juvenile detention, Bayou Country Sports Park operations, sewerage fund, capital projects funding source changes, LHEAP and LCLE allocations, and precinct mergers in Chapter 30 of the Terrebonne Parish Code of Ordinances — and set public hearings on those proposed ordinances for Nov. 19, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. (individual motions were recorded in the meeting minutes; most were approved in committee by unanimous votes where noted).

Council members and staff also discussed drainage fund vegetation rotations; David Rompa, works director, explained the parish currently plans three vegetation rotations per year and said the goal is to increase frequency. The committee closed its review with a summary of sales‑tax receipts for the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District and a grouped review of awarded grants. The meeting adjourned after a final vote.
