Cameron Parish Police Jury: permits, appointments, festival sponsorships, RFPs and change orders
Summary
At its July 7 meeting the Police Jury approved drilling and other permits (tabling one item), reappointed fire district members, appointed Jordan Thompson to Recreation District No. 5, approved a $5,000 festival sponsorship, authorized an RFP for parish‑wide LiDAR surveying (CDBG‑funded), approved settlement signing authority and change orders for the EOC, and tabled several road and capital outlay items.
The Cameron Parish Police Jury on July 7 handled a series of routine and administrative actions, including permits, appointments, sponsorships, procurement authorizations and construction change orders.
Permits and agenda management: Jurors approved drilling permits for Hill Court (Sweet Lake) and for Key Operating in Oak Grove. One permit item (item G) was tabled after jurors said the applicant had provided inconsistent information and staff requested more details. The jury approved the remaining permit items A through N (except G) by motion.
Appointments: The jury reappointed Kevin Benson to the South Cameron fire protection position after his term expired and reappointed Armand Richard to the Consolidated Fire Department. The jury tabled the Gravity Drainage District No. 3 appointment for lack of a replacement and appointed Jordan Thompson to Recreation District Number 5.
Sponsorship and events: The jury approved a $5,000 sponsorship to the Lions Club for the 2025 Cameron Fishing Festival.
Procurement and projects: Jurors authorized advertising a request for proposals for parish‑wide LiDAR surveying and processing services under a CDBG‑funded disaster program to update parish mapping. They also authorized the president to sign a settlement agreement with Roy Bailey Construction (settlement details not specified in the record) and approved change orders 010 and 011 to the EOC building project.
Roads and capital outlay: The jury tabled the three‑year capital outlay plan for parish transportation to allow district foremen to help prioritize projects and also tabled improvements for Parish Road 3118 (Broussard Beach Road) pending coastal use permit determination. Jurors discussed coordinating with foremen and returning priority lists once funding is available.
Fiscal housekeeping: Jurors approved that bills be paid and moved approved amounts to the bank. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
Votes at a glance: multiple motions were approved by voice vote; the luncheon table purchase was decided 4‑3 after a brief tie‑breaking procedure. Where roll call or names were recorded, the minutes reflect the motion, mover and whether the motion carried; the transcript excerpt does not include full named vote tallies for every motion.
