Eunice board adopts sewer bond intent, confirms appointments and approves multiple contracts
Summary
The City of Eunice board on Oct. 8 adopted a resolution to pursue up to $12 million in Sewer Revenue Bonds (DEQ), introduced an ordinance by title, confirmed four housing‑authority appointments, awarded two construction contracts and adopted the airport five‑year CIP; motions carried without roll‑call tallies provided.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen and Alderwomen of the City of Eunice met in regular session Oct. 8, 2024, and adopted Resolution 1024(A) declaring the city's intent to issue Sewer Revenue Bonds (DEQ) not to exceed $12,000,000. The board also introduced, by title only, Ordinance 1124(A) to authorize issuance of the bonds; both measures were approved by motions that carried, with no roll‑call vote tallies recorded in the meeting record.
The board confirmed four appointments to the Eunice Housing Authority Board after mayoral recommendations: Tad Richard, Nickie Strauss, Gwen Burney and John Guillory; each appointment was approved following a motion and second. Police Officer Jaydon Bellard's resignation (effective Sept. 12, 2024) was accepted by the board.
City Engineer Karl Aucoin presented recent bid results and the board awarded two public‑works contracts. The Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation of 2nd Street (Capital Outlay funding up to $250,000) was awarded to Southern Constructors, LLC for $237,400, contingent on approval by Facility Planning and Control. A sewer extension project to serve an Express Oil Change and a Whataburger was awarded to Frey Construction & Dirt Service for $78,850.
The board adopted the Eunice Airport five‑year Capital Improvement Program for 2025–2029 and approved renewals of the city's liquor license applications for 2025. The board also approved payment of the city's bills for September 2024 and acknowledged receipt of the financial reports.
All formal motions recorded in the meeting were noted in the minutes as "carried." The meeting record does not include vote tallies or individual roll‑call votes for the recorded motions. The ordinance introducing the sewer bond was read by title only; further ordinance readings or final bond‑issuance steps are subject to subsequent procedures and any required approvals by DEQ or other agencies.
