At a glance: council votes — wastewater resolutions, annexation and permit approvals
Summary
Council approved two DEQ-related resolutions, adopted an annexation ordinance after reconsideration, added a contract authorization for 350 Jefferson to the agenda and approved special-event alcohol permits for a rodeo and crawfish festival.
Bastrop City Council recorded several formal actions on April 14:
- Resolutions 26-2122 and 26-2123 were adopted unanimously. Both notify the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality of action taken to maintain permit requirements for the Main Treatment Plant and the West Pine Treatment Plant, respectively.
- Ordinance 26-4286 (annexation to enlarge corporate limits) passed after a motion to reconsider. The initial vote was three in favor, one no and one absent; after reconsideration the ordinance passed on a subsequent roll call (final tally recorded as four in favor, one absent).
- Council added a contract authorization item (14B) to the agenda concerning 350 Jefferson (reported demolition quote ~$3,500; council-recorded CA amount for its portion $1,750), approved adding it to the agenda by unanimous roll call, and later voted to table final authorization to a follow-up special call while staff prepares particulars.
- The council approved special-event alcohol permits for Double Creek Rodeo (May 8–9) and a Crawfish Festival (April 16–18) after Police recommended the permits and council members moved, seconded and approved the requests; officers/security were noted as required conditions.
Votes and next steps: Resolutions were recorded as unanimous; annexation ordinance passed after reconsideration and final vote; CA for 350 Jefferson was added to the agenda and staff will prepare contract particulars for the follow-up action; event permits were approved with Police recommendations for on-site security.
