Summary
Commissioners scheduled a June 24 special meeting to adopt budget amendments and the proposed 2025–26 budget; they also approved new credit card holders, updated bank signers and engagement agreements with an auditor and CPA.
The Jefferson Davis Parish Tourist Commission on June 10 scheduled a special meeting to adopt amendments to the 2024–25 budget and to consider the proposed 2025–26 budget, and it approved several administrative changes to financial signatories and professional engagements.
Greg Marcantel, CPA, presented amendments to the 2024–25 budget and the proposed 2025–26 spending plan and told commissioners a special meeting would be held at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, 2025, to adopt both items. The minutes also include an announcement later in the document listing a special meeting on July 24; the record contains this date inconsistency and the commission has not specified which date supersedes the other in the minutes.
The commission voted unanimously on a set of housekeeping motions. By motion of Kori Myers and second of Austin Bertrand, the body removed Creed Romano and Randy Whetstine as credit card holders and authorized Carter Prejean and Macey Cormier as replacement card holders. By motion of Kori Myers and second of Austin Bertrand, the commission also authorized Sheila Chapman, Kori Myers, Kayla Doga, Ronnie Petree and Carter Prejean as bank account signers. Both motions passed unanimously, according to the minutes; individual roll-call tallies are not listed.
The commission approved an engagement agreement with Gregory N. Marcantel, CPA, for the year ending June 30, 2026 (moved by Jeremy Doucet, seconded by Austin Bertrand) and approved engagement agreements with Langly, Williams & Company, LLC for the annual audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 (moved by Jeremy Doucet, seconded by Kayla Doga). Greg Marcantel also presented a proposed 2025–26 Joint Service Agreement with the City of Jennings for review; the agreement will appear on the special meeting agenda for approval.
The minutes record that the April 2025 financial report was not available for presentation at the meeting. The commission did not record vote counts beyond noting motions passed unanimously. The next procedural step listed in the minutes is the special meeting to adopt the budget items.
