Summary
Council authorized a LGAP grant application for Miller Stadium improvements and approved partial contractor payments including $224,341.43 for Lawrence Acres drainage and $173,479.26 to Prestigious Construction Group LLC for parks work.
The Crowley City Council moved multiple action items forward during committee reports. The council approved a resolution authorizing an application to the Louisiana Government Assistance Program (LGAP) to seek funding — municipalities may apply for up to $50,000 — for historic Miller Stadium grandstand improvements, including new cooling fans, bleacher repairs, painting and electrical upgrades. City engineer Tim Mader presented the request and the council voted in favor.
In zoning and annexation the council approved partial payment estimate No. 3 for drainage improvements in Lawrence Acres on VFW Drive in the estimated amount of $224,341.43; the payment motion was offered by Mr. Martin and seconded by Miss Sandy. Separately, the Public Buildings Committee approved partial payment No. 15 to Prestigious Construction Group LLC for the Parks and Providing Project in the amount of $173,479.26; Chair Byron Willridge moved the measure and Sam Ritchie seconded it, and the motion carried.
None of the votes in the transcript included a recorded roll‑call tally of individual yes/no votes beyond the meeting notes indicating motions carried or an “Aye” response; where the transcript records only general consent, the article reports the outcome as approved.
