Carencro council approves City Hall renovation funding, multiple budget amendments and equipment purchases
Summary
The Carencro City Council on April 20 approved several resolutions including a $225,000 Capital Outlay amendment for City Hall renovations, a $100,000 utility fund amendment for tower lights, and an $85,000 sales tax fund allocation for two side-by-sides; vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
The Carencro City Council unanimously approved a slate of budget amendments and resolutions at its April 20 meeting that fund city projects and equipment but did not record roll-call vote tallies in the meeting minutes.
The council approved Resolution No. 2026-023 to amend the 2025/2026 Capital Outlay Fund by $225,000 from general fund reserves for City Hall renovations and furnishings. Councilmember Jordan Arceneaux moved the resolution, and Councilmember Danielle Capritto seconded; the motion was recorded as approved, but the transcript does not list individual vote counts.
Councilmembers also approved Resolution No. 2026-019, amending the 2025/2026 utility fund budget by $100,000 for tower lights (moved by Arceneaux, seconded by Taylor James); and Resolution No. 2026-021, amending the 2016 Sales Tax Fund by $85,000 to purchase two side-by-side vehicles (moved by Danielle Capritto, seconded by Jordan Arceneaux). The meeting minutes state each motion was approved; no vote tallies are shown in the transcript.
Other approved measures included Resolution No. 2026-020, an intergovernmental agreement for the Opioid Fund (moved by Arceneaux, seconded by Capritto), and Resolution No. 2026-022 concerning the Lafayette Disability Awareness Committee (moved by Capritto, seconded by Arceneaux). Resolution No. 2026-024 amended the agreement with architect Lynn Guidry for City Hall renovations and was approved after a motion by Capritto and second by Arceneaux.
Resolution No. 2026-017, expressing support for improvements along Louisiana Highway 98 (restriping, pavement overlay and other improvements), was approved following a motion by Arceneaux and second by Capritto. Resolution No. 2026-018, a memorandum of understanding with the City of Scott and the Lafayette Parish Registrar of Voters, received no votes and therefore was recorded as failed.
The meeting packet and minutes did not provide roll-call vote totals or individual yes/no records for the approved items. Where the transcript lists only a mover and seconder and records the motion as "approved," this article notes that vote tallies were not specified in the record.
The council set a June 4, 2026 bid date for City Hall renovations and moved ahead with contract and budget steps required to proceed.
