Port Barre council hears public works, parks updates and discusses unpaid utility account
Summary
At the July 1 meeting Port Barre officials heard updates from the town superintendent and parks director, discussed infrastructure items including a water-well project, culverts and a potential jetter purchase, and addressed an unpaid utility bill at 1104 Saizan Avenue and landlord responsibility for locked meters.
Mayor John P. Ardoin called on Gregory Leger, town superintendent, for a public works update, and on Kyla Rivette, parks and recreation director, for a briefing on youth-league and parks activities during the July 1, 2025 Board of Aldermen meeting.
The public works discussion covered town infrastructure needs including a water-well project, culvert work and the potential purchase of a jetter machine to support sewer and storm-drain maintenance. The transcript records the topics as part of a general discussion; no formal procurement motion or funding authorization was recorded at this meeting.
Council members also discussed a specific unpaid utility account at 1104 Saizan Avenue. The minutes note concerns about responsibility for unpaid bills when meters are locked and landlords' accountability, but the transcript does not record a formal decision, penalty, or referral to legal counsel or collections during this session.
Separately, Mayor Ardoin called for the police department's monthly activities report from Police Chief Boudreaux; that report is referenced in the minutes but the transcript does not include the report content.
The council accepted all financial and departmental reports by unanimous motion (moved by Susie Hebert, seconded by Donalo Robin) and later adjourned the meeting. No further votes or directives on infrastructure procurement or the unpaid utility account are recorded in the minutes.
