Votes at a glance: DeSoto Parish Police Jury — key motions approved June 2, 2025
Summary
The jury passed routine minutes and financial approvals, deleted a revised park-funding agenda item for later committee consideration, approved multiple resolutions (polling-location reassignment, property acquisition, agreements), adopted 2025 millages, and authorized a landfill consultant with an $18,900 budget amendment.
The DeSoto Parish Police Jury approved several routine and substantive items during its June 2 meeting. Key outcomes recorded in the meeting are listed below with the meeting segments where they were decided.
- Approve minutes (05/19/2025): Motion moved by Mr. Baker, second by Mr. Ross; motion passed (early meeting procedural vote).
- Authorize payment of food bills and accept financial statement (as of 05/31/2025): Introduced by the president; motion carried after discussion. Finance staff later moved to accept the financial statement and the motion carried (finance motion recorded and accepted).
- Item 3 (revised park-funding allocations — $20,000 split into two $10,000 awards): After debate about scope and prior approvals, the jury voted to delete Item 3 from the current agenda so it can be considered later by committee (motion to delete carried).
- Polling-location reassignment and Precinct 28 split: The jury authorized the president to sign a resolution reassigning Precinct 37’s polling location and to split Precinct 28, sending part to Longstreet Town Hall; motion carried.
- Authorize president to sign resolution for acquisition of property (crossroads project): Motion moved and passed.
- Agreement with Capital Area Finance Authority: Jurors authorized the president to sign an agreement to provide financing assistance mechanisms for low- and moderate-income families (no cost to the jury reported); motion carried.
- Adopt 2025 millages: Motion to adopt the 2025 millage rates was moved and carried.
- Authorize cooperative endeavor agreement with Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs: Motion carried.
- Appoint Mansfield Enterprises as official journal for the DeSoto Parish Police Jury: Motion carried.
- Road items and overlays (various district authorizations): Motions to authorize road projects and overlays were moved and carried.
- Solid-waste consultant/budget amendment: The jury authorized a cost-analysis consultant proposal for the landfill and amended the 2025 solid-waste budget by $18,900; motion passed.
Several items were recorded as "motion passed" without roll-call tallies included in the transcript; where movers or seconds were identified in the record, they are noted above. If a numerical roll call is required for official records, clerk’s minutes should be consulted for the full vote record.
Next steps: Items removed from today’s agenda (notably the revised park-funding Item 3) were directed to committee or the next meeting; staff will prepare required documents (CEAs, title work, property-acquisition papers) for executed resolutions and return with finalized language and schedules.
