Parish parks report, youth sports numbers and judges’ request to name courtroom for Chantelle Brown
Summary
Parks staff reported registration and game counts for the spring/summer season; judges requested that Courtroom 2 be named for Chantelle Brown, citing her work in juvenile and family matters and proposing a public ceremony and plaque.
The parish parks director reported that registrations open in January–February, with practices in March and the regular season running March–May (some T‑ball extending into June). Directors reported site-by-site totals (for example, Rogue Ridge reported 225 registrations and 12 teams) and summarized game and umpire counts across parks. Council members asked about strategies for increasing youth participation and consolidating teams where individual parks face low numbers.
Separately, judges attending the meeting asked the council to pass a resolution to name Courtroom 2 in honor of Chantelle Brown, a former law clerk who later worked with the public defender's office and district attorney's office on juvenile, delinquent and child-care matters. A judge described Brown's work helping families and juveniles and proposed a small plaque and a public ceremony at the courthouse. Council members expressed support and suggested that judges and staff coordinate a ceremony and that the parish consider a formal resolution at a future meeting.
