The Cameron Parish Police Jury met on May 5, 2025, and carried a series of routine measures including approval of the April 2025 minutes, multiple board reappointments, amendments to Chapter 14 (motor vehicles and traffic) and several resolutions and proclamations.
The meeting featured a series of short motions and voice votes. Reappointments approved included Leslie Griffin to Gravity Drainage District No. 4 and Penny Jenkins to the Imperial Capuchin Human Service Authority Board. The jury accepted a single bid for the official journal from the Cameron Parish Pilot and designated the records-retention officer. The body also authorized leasing property for parking at Gary's Landing and approved the purchase of property for the Grama Cheniere dump.

Clerks reported nine property owners had signed two-year temporary construction servitude agreements for the Mermetau (spelled in the minutes as “Mermetau Indonesian”) relief project. A change-order request and other construction-related matters were placed on the agenda for later action.
