Scott council authorizes engineering contract and seeks state loan for new sewer plant
Summary
Council approved an engineering contract with C.H. Fenstermaker & Associates and adopted resolutions requesting state financial assistance and authorizing a loan application to fund a new sewer plant; the measures passed unanimously.
The Scott City Council on Dec. 7 authorized city leaders to move forward on a new sewer plant by approving an engineering contract and seeking state funding. Councilman Boudreaux moved to adopt Resolution 2023-43, authorizing the mayor to execute a contract for engineering and associated services between the City of Scott and C.H. Fenstermaker and Associates, LLC for work on the new sewer plant; the motion passed unanimously.
Councilman Montoucet earlier moved to adopt Resolution 2023-42, a request for financial assistance from the State of Louisiana under the fiscal year 2023–2024 Local Government Assistance Program and the Community Water Enrichment Fund Program. Councilman Moreau then moved to adopt Resolution 2023-44, authorizing the mayor to apply to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality for a loan to fund the project. All three resolutions carried without recorded opposition.
City officials noted the engineering contract and funding steps are programmatic: the contract secures design and associated services while the loan application would provide funding if approved by LDEQ and state programs. Council did not record a detailed timeline for construction or estimated project cost in the minutes.
