Iberia Parish council approves $1.3 million amendment for Lewis Street overlay
Summary
The council approved a $1.3 million amendment to Economic Development District No. 1's 2025 fund budget to pay for the Lewis Street overlay, funded from prior-year fund balance; parish president noted possible coordination with CPRA bulkheading grants.
The Iberia Parish Council voted March 12 to amend the Economic Development District No. 1 2025 fund by $1,300,000 to pay for a Lewis Street overlay, with funding coming from fund balance carried from prior years.
The resolution (Summary number 52) was introduced by the parish president and carried after brief discussion about project limits and coordination with potential CPRA bulkheading work. Council members asked about engineering and schedule; President Richard said the engineering firm will be "Bayrock and Habits," and described the project limits (from the parish/city limit to a point just past the three-lane opening). He also noted that if a CPRA grant to bulkhead commercial canal areas were to come through quickly, the parish might coordinate to preserve infrastructure integrity.
The motion to adopt the budget amendment was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. No recorded roll-call tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
What's next: Parish staff will coordinate engineering, project scheduling and any necessary budget appropriations or contract awards as the parish moves toward construction.
