Votes at a glance: Assumption Parish Police Jury approves rate plan submission, engineering contract and routine consent items
Summary
At the Dec. 4 special meeting, jurors approved submitting a three‑year sewer‑rate plan to the Water Sector Commission, accepted a low bid for a Bridge Street bridge inspection, authorized personnel and contract actions, and directed staff to request as‑built sewer drawings.
The Central Parish Police Jury took several formal actions at its Dec. 4 special meeting, approving a three‑year sewer‑rate path for submission to the Water Sector Commission and carrying multiple procurement and personnel measures on voice votes.
Key votes and motions:
• Sewer‑rate submission: The jury voted to present the 12% three‑year option (following an initial January 2025 increase to $33) to the Water Sector Commission. Motion by Mr. Matherne; second by Mr. Carter; motion carried.
• As‑built drawings: The jury approved sending a formal letter requesting as‑built drawings for all parish sewer treatment plants to verify which properties were connected. Motion by Mr. Pompano; seconded and carried.
• Bridge inspection procurement: The jury accepted the lowest bid from Principal Engineering, Inc. for the Bridge Street bridge load‑rating inspection and instructed staff to charge the appropriate road or road‑bridge fund. Motion by Ms. Dalcorn; second by Mr. Diaz; motion carried.
• Personnel and ordinance actions: Jurors approved hiring an APCC maintenance worker at Grade 4 Step 13, amended ordinance 24‑21 to levy grass‑cutting charges totaling $1,294.86, and approved a contract in the amount of $198,059. Motions passed by voice vote.
The jury closed the special meeting after handling the consent and action items. Several motions were carried by voice vote without roll‑call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript; when roll call or detailed tallies were omitted, the minutes show voice approval and the chair’s announcement that motions carried.
