The Eunice City Council will hold a special meeting at noon Thursday, Aug. 21.
The posted agenda includes two items:
Consideration of a liquor license application by Francisco G. Fernandez for Hacienda at 1501 West Laurel;
A resolution of appreciation and sympathy to the family of Don Helms, a musician who died last week.
Helms was the last surviving member of Hank Williams, Sr.'s band and a regular in Williams tributes at the Liberty Theatre.

Code Enforcement Officer/Inspector Gary Bult is changing how he deals with issues from City Council members.
Bult, who took umbrage over remarks about him at the August council meeting, advised council members they’ll have to work through the mayor with any issues.

Dale Soileau is ready to install another experimental speed hump in Ward 4, and fellow City Council members would like some in their wards.

Hearing a month ago that the City Council was about to give him a pay raise, one veteran employee said he wouldn’t count it until it shows up in his check.
“I’ve been down the disappearing money trail before,” he said.
While his pessimism might be uncalled for, he’s right to have not yet done the counting.
