Council presents Garden Club awards, agrees to assist with holiday flags; tables grass-enforcement discussion
Summary
The St. Martinville council presented Garden Club 'Clean City' slogan awards, agreed informally to assist with Juneteenth and July 4th flag installations at the request of a neighborhood revitalization committee, and unanimously voted to table a grass-height ordinance question about 600 W. Bridge St. to allow an inspection.
The St. Martinville City Council presented awards to winners of the Garden Club’s Clean City slogan contest during its May 4 meeting and agreed in principle to help install Juneteenth and July 4th flags on utility poles at the request of a local revitalization group.
Mayor Jason Willis said Ms. Zelma Savoy of the SM Downton Revitalization Committee was not present but had requested assistance to install the flags; council members expressed general consensus to help and no formal motion or vote was required. The mayor also noted the group is seeking to install its own pole for Christmas lighting and will return if further action is needed.
Separately, the council voted unanimously to table discussion of the ordinance that requires grass taller than 12 inches to be cut as it applies to a specific parcel at 600 W. Bridge St. Councilman Mike Fuselier moved to table the matter and Councilwoman Carol Frederick seconded; the deferral was intended to give council time to inspect the lot before taking further action.
In other announcements, Mayor Willis reminded residents of a city Trash Bash on May 16 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and congratulated local graduates. With no further business the council adjourned.
