Cameron Parish jury approves routine appointments, millage rates, CDBG bid and ordinance change
Summary
At its meeting the Cameron Parish Police Jury approved multiple appointments and reappointments, adopted revised millage rates for several districts, accepted a $657,539.44 bid for a CDBG‑funded project contingent on state approval, and amended the temporary food‑service permit rules for the Village of Cameron.
The Cameron Parish Police Jury moved through a slate of routine business on May 25, approving appointments, budget items and procurement actions and adopting an amendment to the parish’s temporary food‑service ordinance.
Appointments and reappointments approved included the appointment of Magnus McGee to an open police‑jury seat and reappointments across recreation and hospital service districts (including Travis Wells, Travis LaBose, Mary Cannon and Jeremy Spire). The jury also approved annual administrative items, including the bill of assessment dated 05/05/2025 and revised millage rates for multiple special districts; staff read the new rates into the record before the board adopted them by motion.
On procurement and grants, the jury accepted a $657,539.44 bid from Eleanor Construction Company, Inc. (Kaplan) for the Mercantile Innovation Relief Project (general improvements) funded through CDBG, subject to approval by the Louisiana Office of Community Development. The board also granted the president authority to sign required documents for CDBG‑ER programs and authorized amendments and a service agreement with Henry Venture LLC on behalf of Venture Global CPGLG LLC.
The board authorized advertising RFQs to elevate and repair the parish health unit and approved a three‑year cooperative agreement with the Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources to support Cameron Parish’s local coastal management program.
In land and permit matters the jury approved property extensions for three addresses in Big Lake and Grand Lake (ranging from 60 to 90 days) and adopted an amendment that increases temporary food‑service permits in the Village of Cameron from four to five per year (excluding limited vendors such as ice‑cream or snow‑cone sellers) and allows applicants 60 days to comply with permit conditions. The public hearing on that ordinance change produced no written or oral public comment.
Other routine actions included review and receipt of monthly financial statements, approval of bills for payment, and approvals related to the Hackberry Library property and several service districts. The board also discussed a proposed policy to prohibit certain contracting relationships with the city but voted to table that policy for 30 days to allow members time to consult constituents and for staff to draft a written policy.
Several items were approved by voice vote with no roll‑call recorded in the public transcript; the jury took roll call only on the executive‑session personnel resolution later in the meeting.
