Motion to suspend Port director Charles Tillotson fails at Plaquemines Parish special meeting
Summary
Council introduced a resolution seeking suspension or termination of Charles Tillotson as executive director of the Plaquemines Port Harbor And Terminal District; the motion failed on a recorded vote.
A resolution introduced on Jan. 5, 2026, sought suspension or termination for cause of Charles Tillotson, the executive director of the Plaquemines Port Harbor And Terminal District. The resolution was offered from the floor (introduced by Reverend/Commissioner Edwards, seconded by Commissioner Schultz) and the council voted; the motion failed.
Why it matters: A vote to suspend or terminate an executive director is a substantive personnel action that signals governance disagreement; the board considered the resolution but did not approve it.
What happened: The resolution was introduced under new business and put to a roll-call vote; the chair twice announced 'motion fails' in the transcript. No additional detail about the alleged cause or proposed next steps was recorded in the provided transcript.
What’s next: The transcript does not record further procedural direction regarding the executive director; the item concluded with the failure of the motion and the meeting moved to adjournment.
