Residents press council for Shellmire Road repairs; staff reports on code enforcement and economic development
Summary
Residents asked the council to clarify ownership and repair Shellmire Road; staff provided brief updates on UDC code enforcement and potential new businesses, and Council discussed contractor damage to fiber lines.
Several residents who live on Shellmire Road spoke during the meeting to ask the Mayor and Council to clarify who owns Shellmire Road and to request assistance with repairing the road. The minutes state residents asked for clarity on ownership and help with repairs; no formal action or commitment to a funding or repair timeline was recorded.
Earlier in the meeting, Economic Development Director Ashleigh McHugh provided a brief update on potential businesses considering location in Zachary. City Attorney John Hopewell offered a brief update on Unified Development Code (UDC) code enforcement procedures and the progress of that process. The council also discussed damage that contractors installing fiber-optic lines had caused to city infrastructure; Councilman John LeBlanc brought up the Veterans Day parade in his remarks.
No decisions or directed staff actions regarding Shellmire Road were recorded in the minutes; councilmembers did not vote to allocate funds or to accept jurisdictional responsibility during the meeting. These items will likely be revisited at a future meeting if residents or staff bring formal proposals or jurisdictional documentation.
