Jeff Davis Parish Tourist Commission adopts budget amendments, approves 2025–26 budget and authorizes online banking
Summary
At a June 24 special meeting the Jeff Davis Parish Tourist Commission adopted amendments to its 2024–25 budget, approved the 2025–26 budget, authorized an accountant to perform official online banking with First Guaranty Bank, and approved a joint service agreement with the City of Jennings; all votes were unanimous.
The Jeff Davis Parish Tourist Commission met June 24 and unanimously adopted amendments to its 2024–25 fiscal year budget and approved the 2025–26 budget, the commission said in its special meeting minutes.
Chairman Sheila Chapman called the meeting to order. During the public‑comment portion, Carter Prejean reminded attendees of Lake Arthur’s Freedom Fest on June 28, 2025, and the City of Jennings’ Stars and Stripes event on July 4 at the I‑10 Park.
Commissioners then took three formal actions. Ronnie Petree moved — and Jeremy Doucet seconded — to adopt amendments to the 2024–25 budget; the motion passed unanimously. Jeremy Doucet moved — and Kori Myers seconded — to adopt the 2025–26 fiscal year budget; that motion also passed unanimously. The minutes do not list dollar amounts or line‑item changes for either budget; amounts were not specified in the record.
The commission next adopted a resolution authorizing Monica Trahan of Greg N. Marcantel, CPA, to conduct official online banking business with First Guaranty Bank on the commission’s behalf. Shelby LaFosse moved the resolution, Ronnie Petree seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Finally, the commission voted unanimously to approve the 2025–26 Joint Service Agreement between the City of Jennings and the Jeff Davis Tourist Commission. A motion to adjourn, moved by Jeremy Doucet and seconded by Kori Myers, concluded the special meeting.
All recorded motions were unanimous; the minutes list the commissioners present but do not provide roll‑call vote lines or budget figures. The commission did not announce a date for any follow‑up meeting in the minutes.
