Port Barre council approves reports, hears public-works and youth-league updates; students propose food drive
Summary
At its Nov. 4, 2025 meeting the Town of Port Barre's mayor and board unanimously approved minutes and departmental reports, received police and public-works updates, heard that flag football has started, and endorsed a Port Barre High School EEA club request to place collection boxes for a "food drive."
Mayor John P. Ardoin called the Town of Port Barre's regular meeting to order on Nov. 4, 2025, and the board unanimously approved the Oct. 1 minutes and accepted all financial and departmental reports.
Alderwoman Susie Hebert moved to approve the minutes; Alderman Donald Robin seconded the motion, which passed without objection. Later, Alderman Sammy W. Hardy II moved to accept the financial and departmental reports; Alderman Gregory P. Hardy seconded that motion. The board voted unanimously to accept the reports.
Mayor Ardoin called on Police Chief Bourjreaux; Assistant Hardy attended on the chief's behalf and presented the police department's monthly activity report. The transcript does not specify the contents of that report.
Superintendent Greg Leger updated the council on public-works activities. Council members and residents discussed a number of local infrastructure items, including upgrades to water-well sites and cleaning storm drains on Salzan Avenue. Alderman Gregory P. Hardy asked how billing for Waterworks District No. 3 appeared on the town's financial statement and was advised that the district's billing is included with total water charges to customers on the financial statement; the transcript does not identify who provided that explanation.
Mayor Ardoin reported that Parks and Recreation activities have started, noting that the flag football season had begun. The board also discussed potentially closing some streets temporarily for Trick-or-Treat, addressing blighted properties, and plans for the town's Christmas parade in December.
Representatives from Port Barre High School's Education, Entrepreneurship and Agriculture (EEA) club — the group's president and vice president — asked the board for permission to place collection boxes at a municipal building for a "food drive." The council commended the students and said it had no objection to their plan.
Alderwoman Hebert then moved to adjourn; Alderman Sammy W. Hardy II seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting concluded with no additional formal actions recorded in the transcript.
