Council approves routine contracts, change order and zoning ordinance; several items introduced for future action
Summary
On Nov. 19 the New Iberia City Council approved a culvert-cleaning contract, a time-only change order to the ARPA community center restroom project, and rezoned two parcels on Dassport Road; it introduced a camera LGAP application and deferred the animal-control cooperative agreement for more work.
At the Nov. 19 meeting, the council handled several routine items alongside longer policy debates.
- Resolution 25150: The council approved awarding a contract to Iberia Aggregates and Construction Materials LLC for the Fontalou Drive culvert cleaning project (roughly $20,000). The motion was moved, seconded and put to machine vote.
- Resolution 25151: The council approved Change Order No. 3 for the ARPA-funded Community Center restroom upgrades. The change order adds 40 contract days for punch-list items and lining work; no additional funds were requested.
- Resolution 25152: Council approved submitting an LGAP application seeking state assistance to replace antiquated security cameras at City Hall.
- Ordinance 202529: Council approved rezoning 201 and 203 Dassport Road from R-3 residential to C-3 commercial as recommended by the New Iberia Zoning Commission.
Several items were introduced or deferred for future action: Ordinance 2025-30 (tire-storage rules) was introduced in amended form (outdoor storage allowance struck) and scheduled for further refinement ahead of a public hearing; Resolution 25153 (cooperative animal-control agreement) was deferred two weeks for additional negotiation and drafting.
Where votes were recorded, the transcript refers to machine votes but does not publish full tallies for routine items. The motion to defer Resolution 25153 recorded at least one 'No' vote from Councilman Ron Davis before passing.
