Zachary council confirms appointments, approves clerk laptop and receives financial reports
Summary
Council appointed Brandy Westmoreland as Mayor Pro Tempore, approved Kevin Williams to the District 3 Planning & Zoning Commission (Landry recorded a no vote), approved Attorney L.T. Dupré as hearing officer, authorized a council-clerk laptop, and received December financial reports and the accounts payable report.
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Zachary Mayor and Council approved a package of administrative and personnel actions. Councilwoman Brandy Westmoreland was selected as the 2026 Mayor Pro Tempore after a motion by Councilman John LeBlanc and a second from Councilwoman Ambre DeVirgilio; the vote was unanimous.
The council approved the appointment of Kevin Williams, a District 3 resident, to fill an expired term on the District 3 Planning and Zoning Commission. The minutes record that Councilwoman Jennifer Landry voted no while the other members voted yes.
Council approved Attorney L.T. Dupré for appointment as the hearing officer; meeting notes later indicate Mr. Stephens said Dupré was approved as Code Enforcement Officer, and that the former police chief's office will be used for that function. The council also approved a request to provide the Council Clerk with a new council laptop.
Financially, the council voted to receive the city balance sheet and income statement for December 2025 and to receive the accounts payable report for December 2025; the minutes note that the city will await the natural gas bill when received before finalizing that specific item. No salaries or contract terms were detailed in the minutes for the appointments.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include administrative execution of the appointments and procurement of the laptop; the minutes do not list specific implementation dates or budgets for those items.
