Police Jury adopts Procurement Policy and Comprehensive Language Access Plan
Summary
The Police Jury unanimously adopted a Procurement Policy (including LCDBG standards) and a Comprehensive Language Access Plan to provide meaningful access for limited-English-proficiency individuals to parish programs and services.
The St. Helena Parish Police Jury adopted two policy resolutions: a Procurement Policy that sets standards for procurements including those funded by federal awards such as LCDBG, and a Comprehensive Language Access Plan to ensure meaningful access for people with limited English proficiency.
The Procurement Policy was adopted unanimously and explicitly references federal award standards, including the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant (LCDBG) Program. Jurors also unanimously adopted the Comprehensive Language Access Plan, which the minutes describe as intended to guarantee meaningful access to parish programs and services for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP). The minutes do not provide the full text of either policy; they record adoption by motion.
