At a special meeting on May 5, the Bossier City Council advanced on first reading an ordinance authorizing Mayor Thomas H. Chandler to execute an agreement with Rock Solid Athletic Club Incorporated to manage the swimming pool at Mike Wood Memorial Park for 2026. The clerk read the ordinance aloud as the item’s introduction.
Councilman Hammonds moved to approve first reading and Councilman Maggio seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the clerk announced, “Motion carries.” The ordinance was read as a first reading, meaning it has been introduced but is not yet adopted into law.
The clerk reminded members and the public of Louisiana open meetings laws and the council’s meeting rules before the council approved the agenda earlier in the meeting. That agenda approval — moved by Councilman Hammonds and seconded by Councilman Cliff Smith — also passed by voice vote.
The ordinance text as read authorizes Mayor Thomas H. Chandler to execute any and all documents related to the 2026 agreement with Rock Solid Athletic Club Incorporated for management of the Mike Wood Memorial Park swimming pool. The clerk did not state additional financial terms, contract length beyond the year referenced, or operational details; those specifics were not provided in the meeting record.
With no public comment and no further business, the meeting was adjourned at the conclusion of the agenda.
