Mayor: Slemco will not submit wholesale power proposal; lifeguard contract review tabled
Summary
Mayor Jason Willis reported Slemco declined to submit a wholesale electrical power proposal, asked the council to table lifeguard contract review until the next meeting, and listed several upcoming community events and operational notes including water meter replacements delaying bills.
Mayor Jason Willis told the council he recently met with Slemco to discuss the possibility of Slemco providing wholesale electrical power. He read a letter from Slemco indicating the company "will not submit a proposal at this time." The reading was entered into the minutes as the mayor’s report to the council.
The mayor also asked the council to table review of the lifeguard contract for the city pool until the next meeting; the request was recorded in the minutes. In other operational updates, Mayor Willis listed several community events (Tourism Day April 23; Catholic Community Day April 12; Cycle Zydeco April 11; Trash Bash/Love the Boot April 25; Artwalk April 25 with entertainment by Chubby Carrier), reported that the South Main sidewalk project has begun, said water meter replacements are causing delays in billing and that the penalty period has been extended from the 15th to the 20th of the month, and noted police cars purchased from the New Iberia Police Department have arrived.
Patrick Wiltz introduced himself to the mayor, council and community as a candidate for District 3 councilman; that introduction was recorded in the minutes.
The minutes record these items as mayoral updates and community announcements; no formal council action on the Slemco letter or the events was recorded at the April 6 meeting.
