Council appoints representatives to local boards, lists remaining vacancies
Summary
The council reappointed members to multiple boards — including Anthony Anteo (commercial fisherman rep) and Gerald Alseneaux (Recreation District No. 5) — and noted remaining vacancies across several boards and commissions.
The council opened, closed and reappointed several members to parish boards and commissions during the appointments portion of the meeting. Motions to reappoint Anthony Anteo as the commercial fisherman representative on the Coastal Zoning Management and Coastal Restoration Advisory Committee and Gerald Alseneaux to Recreation District No. 5 were moved and approved. The council also appointed Catherine Gilbert and Dr. Brenda Babin to Downtown Development Corporation seats and held other vacancies over for later consideration.
Why it matters: Board and commission appointments shape local oversight of services ranging from coastal restoration to recreation and downtown development. Filling vacancies affects program continuity and representation for specific interests such as commercial fishermen.
What was said: The clerk read expiring term dates and applicants; the council used 'open, close, and appoint' motions to fill seats. The motions passed by recorded voice as 5-0 in the meeting.
What’s next: Several vacancies remain open; the clerk provided a list of seats with expiring terms and resignations for future consideration.
