Parish approves CivicPlus meeting software and several small budget amendments
Summary
Council authorized a CivicPlus contract for meeting and agenda management with a $14,800 budget amendment and approved several routine budget adjustments for courthouse maintenance and related items listed on the consent agenda.
The Iberia Parish Council on Sept. 10 authorized the Council Chairman to execute a contract with CivicPlus LLC for agenda and meeting management (Select Pro premium with live meeting implementation) and amended the 2025 general fund budget by $14,800 from prior‑year fund balance to cover the initial term.
Council members asked how the software would integrate with existing audio/visual systems and whether boards and commissions could use the platform; administration said it will provide training and that some additional cost may apply for other bodies. The administration said the software should reduce paper‑packet preparation time and postage costs, which they estimated at about $200 per meeting.
The consent agenda also included smaller budget amendments that the council approved: $180,000 for a courthouse parking-lot project to be funded from prior‑year public building fund balance and additional sewer‑project amendments tied to state grants with specified local matches (e.g., a $666,667 amendment including $500,000 in state grant and $166,667 local match for the Ross Road lift station project) as listed by the clerk.
What the council decided: the CivicPlus contract and the listed fund‑balance budget amendments carried on the consent agenda following a brief floor clarification about funding sources.
