West Ascension drainage board confirms Nov. 15 election results; levy renewal introduced, not voted
Summary
The West Ascension Consolidated Gravity Drainage District confirmed Nov. 15 special-election results (358 in favor, 155 opposed) by voice vote at its Dec. 4 meeting. A separate resolution to renew a 4.67-mill levy for 2026–2035 was read and submitted for approval but no recorded vote appears in the transcript.
The West Ascension Consolidated Gravity Drainage District on Dec. 4 read and confirmed the results of a Nov. 15 special election and introduced, but did not vote on, a proposed 10-year levy renewal.
At the start of the meeting the board turned to Item 3, a resolution to confirm the election results. Unidentified Speaker 3 read the canvass and the vote totals: “there was a total of 358 votes cast in favor of the proposition and a total of a 155 votes cast against the proposition,” and asked the board to adopt a resolution confirming those results.
Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to approve the canvass and confirm the results. The board took a voice vote after a second; several members responded “Aye,” and the chair indicated the motion was approved by voice vote. Later in the meeting a procedural check noted the vote on the canvass had been skipped earlier; the board returned to Item 4, repeated the motion to confirm the results and recorded another voice vote approving the canvass.
During the same meeting Unidentified Speaker 3 read a separate resolution proposing renewal of an ad valorem tax levy of 4.67 mills on assessed property within the district for 10 years beginning in 2026 and ending in 2035. The reading cites constitutional and statutory authority for the levy, mentioning “Article 6 Section 30 of the Constitution of the State of Louisiana (1974)” and a transcript reference to “Louisiana revised statute 38 19 o 2.” The resolution was submitted to the board for approval, but the transcript does not record any vote or formal action on the levy renewal.
The meeting concluded after the board confirmed outstanding items had been handled and moved to adjourn. The transcript contains no further procedural dates or deadlines for the levy resolution, and no vote totals tied to individual board members were recorded for the roll calls; approvals were taken by voice vote.
What’s next: The canvass confirming the Nov. 15 election results was approved by voice vote at the Dec. 4 meeting. The proposed 4.67-mill levy renewal was read and submitted for approval but, based on the transcript provided, the board did not record a vote on that resolution during this meeting.
