Madison Parish Police Jury approves $1 million investments, hires summer students and authorizes vehicle reimbursement
Summary
At its March 11 meeting in Tallulah, the Madison Parish Police Jury voted to invest $1,000,000 from each of three parish accounts with UBS Financials, approved hiring 25 summer students, authorized payment of outstanding invoices as funds permit, and agreed to reimburse a vehicle owner for the lower of two repair estimates.
The Madison Parish Police Jury on March 11 approved several financial measures, including investing $1,000,000 from each of three parish accounts with UBS Financials and authorizing the payment of outstanding invoices as funds are or become available.
President Jane Sanders called the meeting to order. Margarett Dew, the parish Secretary/Treasurer, asked the jury to authorize investments of $1,000,000 from each of the Garbage, Health Unit and Courthouse and Jail accounts with UBS Financials; a roll-call vote recorded District 1 absent and Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voting yea, and the motion passed.
Also on routine financial business, the jury approved payment of outstanding invoices “based on available funds,” following a motion from Mr. Johnny Hughes and a second from Mr. Stanley Ogden. The consent agenda — which included multiple months of financial reports and other routine items — was approved with a clerical correction to replace the name listed for District 1: the record was corrected to show Mr. Hicks in place of Mr. Walkers.
The jury approved a personnel action to hire 25 summer students (five from each district) for June and July; the motion was offered by Mr. Stanley Ogden and seconded by Mr. Johnny Hughes. Applications will be accepted beginning in May.
Following discussion of an accident at the parish barnyard, Mr. Johnny Hughes moved and Mr. Wilson seconded a motion to reimburse the vehicle owner for the lower of two repair estimates submitted after the incident. The two estimates in the record were for $3,234.34 and $2,263.70; a roll-call vote recorded District 1 absent and Districts 2–5 voting yea. The motion carried.
Separately, the parish noted receipt of $25,000 from an Act 397 appropriation for road improvements on the east end of Willow Bayou Road, and a LATCF award of $478,596.96. The LATCF account, established at Cross Keys Bank, had a balance of $328,625.33 at the end of February after the purchase of a front-end loader.
The meeting record shows standard procedural items were completed and that the jury adjourned after a motion by Mr. Stanley Ogden.
