Summary
The Concordia Parish Police Jury unanimously approved security cameras and a heat-pump replacement at the parish health unit, hired William Barber as Maintenance Supervisor, approved multiple work orders and authorized ads and bids for debris removal, vegetation spraying and chip-seal planning.
VIDALIA, La. — The Concordia Parish Police Jury met Feb. 23 and unanimously approved a series of routine administrative and public-works actions, including facility repairs, a personnel hire and steps toward forthcoming road projects.
President Cornell Lewis called the meeting to order at 6 p.m., and Secretary/Treasurer Ariella Carter conducted the roll; a quorum was declared. After opening formalities, the jury unanimously approved the minutes of the Jan. 27 regular meeting and waived the absence of Juror Collin Edwards from the Feb. 9 meeting.
The jury approved two health unit expenditures: installing security cameras by CCOR for $1,670.94 and replacing the health unit’s heat pump by Natchez Heating & Cooling for $1,186.00. Both motions passed unanimously after members moved and seconded the measures.
On personnel, the jury unanimously approved hiring William Barber as Maintenance Supervisor following a motion by Maurice Bachus and a second by Wilbert Washington.
The jury directed citation of an ordinance violation at 127 E. Cottondale Road for bringing an 18-wheeler that exceeds the posted ton limit; the motion to cite was moved by Adam Probst and seconded by Wilbert Washington.
Jurors approved superintendent work orders that included clearing a tree from a ditch by Pacman’s fence at Mooselodge toward Eagle Road and other routine maintenance tasks. The superintendent reported recent material usage and yardage by location, including examples of completed work (15 yards on Evans; 30 yards on Traxler Addition; 60 yards on Boggy Bayou) and maintenance gravel amounts (15 yards on Evans and 15 yards on Temple).
Under new business the jury voted to run an advertisement seeking someone with a boat to push debris along Cocodrie Bayou, with parish barn staff to pick up the pushed material. The jury also approved advertising for bids to spray vegetation from Luke Martin Road to the Brushy Bayou control structure.
Collin Edwards and President Lewis reported that Maintenance Superintendent Guillory and Jackie Pugh will gather quotes for a proposed chip-seal plan; the jury will later decide whether to purchase equipment or solicit bids for the work.
The meeting adjourned after a unanimous motion by Collin Edwards.
The minutes were certified by Secretary/Treasurer Ariella Carter on behalf of the Concordia Parish Police Jury.
