Regional planning commission approves 2026 budget, auditor contract and officer slate; a land redivision is approved subject to later review
Summary
The Houma–Terrebonne Regional Planning Commission accepted a proposed 2026 budget, approved a three‑year audit contract with Martin & Telegraph CPAs, reappointed officers for 2026 and approved the first‑half recommendation on a Track E‑1 redivision; a resident requested additional notice on future development plans.
At the Houma–Terrebonne Regional Planning Commission meeting portion, commissioners approved minutes from Nov. 20, 2025, accepted the proposed 2026 budget and awarded a three‑year audit engagement to Martin & Telegraph CPAs at $3,000 per year.
Commissioners voted to retain the current slate of officers for 2026 after clarifying intent to 'open, close and appoint' the current positions. During communications a letter from Ken Rembert requested that two items (H‑1 and H‑2) be tabled pending further review by the Department of Health; the commission agreed to table those items.
In new business, Elizabeth Arsenault presented a redivision of a large tract (Track E‑1) for Dularg Investments; the request was for raw land division only. Local resident Marty Terrio said he wanted to consult family members and asked that the commission delay approval until they could review the plans. Planning staff and commissioners noted that the current proposal was for raw land and that any future development would return to the commission for public input; the commission approved the first‑half recommendation for the redivision.
The approvals recorded in the meeting establish the budget and audit contract and move the Track E‑1 redivision forward through the normal permitting and review process.
