Scott City Council approves ordinance amendments, ladder-truck lease and a setback variance
Summary
At its Aug. 5, 2021 meeting the Scott City Council adopted Ordinance 2021-10, authorized a lease/purchase agreement for a Ferrara aerial ladder truck, approved a setback variance for Hargrave Chiropractic and adopted two routine resolutions; an annexation ordinance was introduced for Sept. 2 consideration.
The Scott City Council on Aug. 5, 2021 approved several routine measures and one equipment authorization while introducing an annexation ordinance for consideration at its Sept. 2 meeting.
Councilman Bergeron moved to adopt Ordinance 2021-10, amending Sec. 24-56 and Sec. 24-58 of the Scott Municipal Code; Councilman Suire seconded and the motion carried by majority with no discussion. The council also approved the minutes from July 1, 2021 and accepted the June 2021 financial statement. The transcript records the approvals as "motion approved" or "motion carried" but does not list roll-call tallies.
The council adopted Resolution 2021-24 authorizing the mayor to execute a master tax-exempt lease/purchase agreement for a Ferrara aerial ladder truck. The passage was recorded as a motion carried by majority; the meeting minutes list Councilman Montoucet as the mover and also list him as seconder in the transcript, which appears to be a clerical error in the minutes. The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with the lease/purchase agreement; financing and delivery details were not specified in the minutes.
Councilman Montoucet moved and Councilman Suire seconded approval of a variance for Hargrave Chiropractic at 417 Westgate Road, reducing the building setback from 10 feet to 3 feet. The owner, listed in the minutes as Mrs. Christopher Hargrave, appeared to explain the request; the council agreed there was no opposition and the motion carried by majority.
The council also adopted Resolution 2021-26, approving the Louisiana Systems Compliance Questionnaire for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021; Mayor Richard described that filing as "status-quo" for the upcoming audit. No formal vote tallies were included in the minutes for the resolutions.
Councilman Montoucet introduced Ordinance 2021-11 to enlarge the city boundaries (Vannoy Family / Pitt Road area); the ordinance was set for adoption at the next regular meeting on Thursday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
