Port Barre departments report updates; council discusses town vehicles, RV registrations and livestreaming
Summary
At the Sept. 3, 2024 meeting the council received routine reports from police and public works, heard that fall baseball will not run for lack of participation, and held a general discussion about excess town vehicles, RV park registrations, a water pressure gauge located in the police department, condemned property and livestreaming council meetings.
Mayor John P. Ardoin called on department heads and relayed several routine updates at the Town Council meeting on Sept. 3, 2024.
Police Chief Boudreaux delivered the Police Department's monthly activity report and announced the Senior Luncheon scheduled for Sept. 21, 2024. The council then heard from Gregory Leger, Town Superintendent, who provided an update on public works activities and routine maintenance. Parks and Recreation Director Kyla Rivette was not present; Mayor Ardoin summarized parks and youth-league news, saying there was insufficient participation to run a fall baseball league and that the town will accept registrations for a flag football program.
Council members and members of the audience engaged in general discussion about municipal operations, raising several administrative items for potential follow-up: excess town vehicles, registration processes for an RV park, the location of a water pressure gauge inside the Police Department building, and concerns about condemned property. The council also mentioned interest in livestreaming Town Council meetings for broader public access; no formal direction or ordinance on livestreaming was voted on at the meeting.
The council later moved to accept all financial and departmental reports (motion by Ronnie Kimble, seconded by Donald Robin), recorded as unanimous. The meeting adjourned on a unanimous motion by Donald Robin, seconded by SAMMY W. HAROY, II.
Next steps: departments will file routine reports as recorded and council staff will record and track the administrative issues raised for future follow-up; no formal policy changes were adopted at this session.
