Jurors approve sale of five adjudicated lots to Dr. R. Morris after maintenance claim
Summary
Dr. R. Morris told the jury he had maintained five adjudicated lots adjacent to his property and requested to purchase them at a reduced price of $500; the jury approved the sale in a roll-call vote (Hicks Yes; Hughes Yes; Sanders Yes; Districts 2 and 3 absent).
Dr. R. Morris informed the Madison Parish Police Jury that he had been maintaining five adjudicated lots in Georgia Kimbrough Second Addition—lots 79, 80, 89, 90 and 91—that are adjacent to property he owns and asked to purchase them at a reduced price of $500. The jury took a roll-call vote: District 1 (Jerry Hicks) Yes; District 2 Absent; District 3 Absent; District 4 (Johnny Hughes) Yes; District 5 (Jane Sanders) Yes. The motion carried.
The minutes record the lots by number and the $500 reduced price but do not specify whether the $500 was the price per lot or a total for all five lots; that detail is not specified in the minutes. No discussion or abstentions are recorded beyond the roll-call tally noted above.
The sale, as recorded, transfers adjudicated property previously maintained by the petitioner to that petitioner; the minutes do not document any appraisal, advertised sale process, or conflict-of-interest statements.
