Bogalusa council considers water‑pollution prevention audit resolution after public questions
Summary
Council introduced a resolution tied to the 2025 municipal water pollution‑prevention audit; a resident asked about a finding that the system was “in excess of 16 gallons,” and council directed written questions to Public Works while rolling the item to a vote with ayes recorded at roll call.
The Bogalusa City Council introduced a resolution concerning the municipal water pollution prevention environmental audit for 2025 during its March 3 meeting and opened the floor to public comment.
A resident who spoke at the microphone said they had reviewed the audit and pointed to a line on page 14, section C indicating the system was “in excess of 16 gallons.” The resident asked whether that finding referred to a single year or a citywide measurement and said they had not received notice previously. Council members and staff acknowledged the concern but said they could not fully answer during the meeting and recommended submitting written questions to the administration and Public Works for a detailed response.
Council proceeded to take the matter under consideration and moved to a roll call. The meeting record shows 'Aye' votes recorded during the roll call that followed the public discussion; council members present and recorded include Councilwoman Gates, Councilwoman Temple, Councilwoman Kelly, President Herring and Vice President Scallan (as noted on the roll call). Council asked residents with specific technical questions to contact Public Works in writing for follow‑up.
The council did not resolve detailed technical questions about the audit on the floor; staff were asked to provide clarifications to residents in writing after the meeting.
