The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury adopted a series of routine items on its consent agenda, approving rezoning, expropriation resolutions, bid awards, contract approvals, grant submittals and project acceptances.
Among the items approved were a rezoning application for the 2300 block of Mossville Way in Ward 4 to change zoning from agricultural to light industrial, and authorization for the director of planning and development to notify multiple property owners to show cause at a public hearing on Nov. 6, 2025, regarding potential condemnation actions. The jury also authorized the Calcasieu Parish Public Trust Authority to proceed with issuance of revenue bonds for the Imperial Human Services Authority project.
The jury adopted resolutions approving permanent utility servitudes and temporary construction servitudes for the East Calcasieu Parish Consolidated Waterworks project and related expropriation measures across multiple water and road projects, including the Ham Reid Road extension and the Old Spanish Trail waterline upgrade.
Procurement actions approved included acceptance of bids for water level monitoring equipment (Blue Water Design Technologies, Campbell Scientific, Hydrolynx Systems and OTT HydroMet) and a low-bid award to Bolton Ford for a 1.5-ton dually pickup truck with mounted sign body in the amount of $136,248. The jury also accepted the Epps Library hurricane replacement project and the West Freon Lake Road and Sail Road project as substantially complete.
Board members noted a staff update request on an unrelated IPA situation to be provided at or before the next meeting. All consent items were moved and seconded as recorded on the meeting floor and were announced as carried; the transcript does not show detailed roll-call tallies for these consent votes.
The meeting recessed briefly and later reconvened for the scheduled public hearing on tax appeals, where the Phillips 66 matter was heard.
