Ouachita Parish approves sale of multiple adjudicated properties; minutes list purchasers and sale conditions
Summary
Ordinance No. 9522 (sale of nine adjudicated parcels) was adopted by roll-call vote July 21; Ordinance No. 9524 (sale of two adjudicated parcels) appears in the minutes with purchaser and bid details but the provided excerpt does not record a roll-call vote for it.
The Ouachita Parish Police Jury on July 21 considered ordinances authorizing acts of sale for adjudicated properties sold at public auction.
Ordinance No. 9522, offered by Mr. Smiley and Mrs. Bacon, lists nine parcels adjudicated to the parish, with purchaser names, bid amounts and auction dates recorded in the minutes. The ordinance specifies sale conditions: sales to be without warranty, conveyance of surface rights while mineral rights are reserved to the parish, closing requirements including E&P Consulting, LLC certifications of title and notice under LA R.S. 47:2201 et seq., and execution of cash-sale documents by the Police Jury president. The minutes record a roll-call vote on Ordinance No. 9522: YEAS (4), NAYS (0), ABSTAIN (0), ABSENT (2); the ordinance was adopted on July 21, 2025.
Ordinance No. 9524, introduced by Mr. Smiley, lists two adjudicated parcels with municipal addresses, purchasers and bids and contains the same certification and closing requirements for E&P Consulting, LLC as 9522. The minutes present the ordinance text, but a roll-call vote or adoption statement for 9524 is not recorded in the provided segments.
Both ordinances reference the Louisiana Constitution (Art. 7, §25) and LA R.S. 47:2202 et seq. as authority for sale of adjudicated property and detail the parish's minimum-bid and notice procedures under state law.
