Jury adopts noise and RV-park ordinance changes, advances tourism commission draft

The Cameron Parish Police Jury held public hearings and adopted multiple ordinance changes on Jan. 12.

The jury opened and received no written or oral comments on proposed amendments to Chapter 15, Article 3 (disturbing the peace), Section 15‑28, addressing unmuffled compression braking/engine braking. After closing the hearing members voted to adopt the amendment, which was recorded as carried by voice vote.

The jury also opened and later adopted revisions to the recreational-vehicle (RV) park ordinance; the clerk reported no written comments had been submitted. Separately, members voted to authorize the advertisement of a final draft to create a Cameron Parish tourism commission and to establish a hotel/motel occupancy tax; the clerk noted this step starts a 60‑day statutory process for ordinance adoption.
