The Jackson Parish Police Jury voted June 8 to authorize a letter of support for the Town of Jonesboro’s request for financial assistance. President Todd Culpepper presided while Mrs. Amy Magee moved to amend the agenda to add item #15A and, later in the meeting, moved the motion to provide the letter; Mrs. Tarneshala Cowans seconded both motions and the motions carried.
The amendment to the agenda was offered early in the meeting and drew no public objection. During the public-comment period, Entergy representative Arnetra King and judicial candidate Rachel Bays spoke; the minutes note there were no comments opposing the agenda change.
The motion to issue the letter was recorded as carried; the minutes do not specify the letter’s text, the intended funding source, or any follow-up timeline. The Jury did not record individual roll-call votes in the minutes beyond the notation “motion carried.”
