St. Martinville council creates meter-reader job, approves promotions and renews street contract
Summary
The council created a full-time Meter Reader position at $14.02/hour (3–2 vote), appointed Jason Boudreaux to the police civil service board, approved a police promotion for Letroy Johnson to Detective ($21.79/hr), and authorized renewal of the Compliance Envirosystems contract for street repairs.
At its March 3 meeting, the St. Martinville City Council approved several personnel and operational items affecting city services.
On a 3–2 vote, the Council created a full-time Meter Reader position at pay grade 107 ($14.02 per hour). The motion was made at Mayor Jason Willis’s request by Councilwoman Flo Chatman and seconded by Councilman Jonas Fontenette. Yeas were Jonas Fontenette, Janise Anthony and Flo Chatman; nays were Mike Fuselier and Carol Frederick.
The Council unanimously appointed Jason Boudreaux as the employee representative to the St. Martinville Police Department Civil Service Board.
Acting on a recommendation from Chief Martin, the Council unanimously approved changing Letroy Johnson’s employment status from Police Officer ($20.75/hr) to Detective ($21.79/hr), effective March 3, 2025.
Council members discussed street repairs across the city and unanimously authorized Mayor Willis to sign a contract renewal with Compliance Envirosystems, under terms set out in the contract renewal (minutes provide approval authority but do not reproduce contract amounts or term length).
Separately, the Council granted permission to Corey Miles of Future is You to hold an adult co-ed baseball tournament on May 31, June 1 and June 8 with a championship on June 15. Teams will pay entry fees, there will be no admission fee to watch games, profits will go to the Jr Citizen Program, and the Council authorized alcohol sales on the four event dates.
Next steps: Human Resources and department heads will implement the new meter-reader position, update payroll for promoted staff, and the mayor will execute the contract renewal with Compliance Envirosystems.
