The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury approved a series of resolutions, motions and procurement actions during its April 9 regular meeting, including multiple condemnations, bid awards and a reappointment to the West Calcasieu Airport Managing Board.
Condemnations and deferrals: The jury approved motions to condemn and remove several structures within 30 days, including 1731 Abshire Road (Moss Lodge); 3039 Hardy Bridal (Lake Charles); 1099 Clark Road (Moss Bluff); 305 Grape Street (DeQuincy); 1734 Highway 3/Highway 109 South (Vinton); 4020 East Burton Street (Sulphur); and 2651 Frederick Road (Westlake). Several other properties were deferred for further review, including 1051 Wedgewood Drive (30 days), 1503 West Pine Meadows Drive (deferred to May 7, 2026) and 108 Bobbitt Road (deferred to June 4, 2026). Each action was moved, seconded and carried with the chair asking for objections and recording "motion carries."
Procurement and bid actions: The jury authorized advertising for several RFPs and bids (generator inspection/maintenance; White Oak Park boat‑launch repairs; Huey Miller Road reconstruction; Carlos Drive bridge/drive replacement) and accepted low bid recommendations on several projects. Staff recommended acceptance of a low bid by RF Services for the West Wayside Drive drainage improvement project in the amount of $28,086,080.64; the jury accepted the recommendation. The jury also accepted a low bid of $356,681.12 from RC Paving for patching and drainage rehabilitation and a $1,034,513.73 low bid from Material Resources for pavement preservation; motions on each carried.
Other routine business: The jury approved payment of current invoices, accepted Hidden Bluff Phase 1 subdivision, adopted a cooperative agreement to participate in the 2026 summer food service program, and reappointed Mike Granger to the West Calcasieu Airport Managing Board.
Most items carried with the standard "Any objection? Motion carries" procedure; recorded roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript for these votes. Where motions identified movers and seconders, those names are recorded in the meeting minutes.
