Jurors approved a Legal Services Agreement with Adams & Reese to provide counsel for the newly forming Industrial Development Board (IDB) by recorded vote: four in favor, one opposed (Jule C. Wascom); appointment to the board was tabled.
St. Helena Parish Police Jurors on June 9 approved a Legal Services Agreement with the law firm Adams & Reese to provide legal representation to the newly forming Industrial Development Board. The motion passed by recorded vote: Yeas — Willie Morgan, Warren McCray, Jr., Ryan Byrd and Doug Watson; Nay — Jule C. Wascom; absent — Quanika H. Muse.
The IDB's organizational steps discussed included incorporation, bylaws, ethics training, and other organizational requirements. During the meeting jurors also considered appointing Ms. Carmen Overton as the District 3 representative to the IDB to replace Mr. Timothy Carlton; that appointment was tabled by unanimous vote, with jurors saying additional time or information was needed before making the appointment.
The Legal Services Agreement approval was a formal, recorded vote and is the most consequential step taken at the meeting related to the IDB; jurors directed no further formal appointments at this session pending additional action.
