Police Jury approves routine business: consent agenda, equipment sale, invoices and contract change order
Summary
The Madison Parish Police Jury approved the consent agenda, authorized payment of outstanding invoices as funds allow, approved sale of accumulated old equipment, accepted a $10,000 change order for an elevator roof (revising the contract to $338,000 and extending completion to March 19, 2026), and approved the airport annual report.
The Madison Parish Police Jury completed several routine administrative actions on Feb. 23, approving the consent agenda (minutes and financials), authorizing payment of outstanding invoices with available funds, authorizing sale of accumulated old equipment, approving a $10,000 change order for an elevator entrance roof that revises the contract price to $338,000 and extends completion to March 19, 2026, and accepting the Vicksburg–Tallulah Regional Airport annual report.
President Sanders requested approval of the consent agenda (Feb. 9 minutes, January financials, and the outstanding invoice report); Mr. Hicks moved and Mr. Hughes seconded the motion to approve. The Secretary/Treasurer requested permission to pay invoices based on available funds; Mr. Hughes moved and Mr. Hicks seconded authorization to pay outstanding invoices as funds become available and the jury approved the direction. The administrative office reported accumulated old equipment in storage that it would like to sell; Mr. Hicks moved to allow sale and Mr. Wilson seconded. A roll call vote recorded unanimous approval across Districts 1–5 for the equipment disposition.
Separately, Mr. Wilson moved and Mr. Hicks seconded approval of a change order adding $10,000 for the elevator entrance roof, revising the contract to $338,000 and extending the completion date to March 19, 2026. The jury also received notice that Bayou Macon’s request to amend a CWEF application to relocate water lines was approved by the Office of Community Development and that $1,249.03 was available from the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund for Public Works. The jury asked Mr. Epps to arrange cleanup of an adjudicated lot on St. Martin Street in Delta. With no further business the meeting was adjourned on a motion by Mr. Ogden.
Where the minutes record unanimous votes they are reported as such; several routine motions were approved with a simple motion-carried notation and without roll-call tallies recorded in the minutes. When a numeric dollar amount or contract date was specified, it is reported here as recorded in the minutes.
