School board authorizes district attorney to pursue litigation over reported electrical problems
Summary
After an executive session over a complaint with JDEC about electrical problems, the board directed the district attorney to proceed with litigation against Jeff Davis Electric.
The Cameron Parish School Board on Aug. 11 entered executive session to discuss a complaint with the Joint Disciplinary and Ethics Commission (JDEC) regarding electrical problems and later authorized the District Attorney to pursue litigation against Jeff Davis Electric.
The minutes record that the board approved entering executive session by roll call vote; the roll call text lists 'Yay's' as Marsha Trahan, Christi Labove, R. Mitchell Kelley, Vickie Kiffe and Joseph Delcambre, and 'Nay's' as none. The same roll call in the minutes lists an 'Absent' group that duplicates one name from the 'Yay' list (the transcript's roll call contains that inconsistency). The board later returned to regular session; on motion of Joseph Delcambre, seconded by Christi Labove, the board approved directing the District Attorney to proceed with litigation against Jeff Davis Electric, as presented by Michael Cassidy of the Cameron Parish District Attorney's Office.
The minutes do not include further details of the complaint, the specific allegations against Jeff Davis Electric, or any response from the company; the District Attorney's Office will handle next steps in the litigation process.
