Eunice Board of Aldermen

Musician Joel Savoy is to present a proposal at Tuesday’s Board of Aldermen meeting for a non-profit to revive the Liberty Theater.
Savoy spoke at Thursday’s meeting where the mayor and Board set the agenda for the meeting scheduled at 6:30 p.m. in the Eunice Municipal Complex.
Hurricane Delta was forecast to make landfall Friday and Mayor Scott Fontenot referenced the upcoming Tuesday meeting as likely, but dependent upon the storm’s impact.
Savoy was representing The Association for the Liberty Theatre of Eunice.

Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot is to negotiate a request from the Rev. Kayla Givs to use the Southeast Community Center seven days a week for an after-school feeding program.
Givs is pastor of Restoring God’s Glory Ministries Inc. that has been using the facility since the COVID-19 outbreak for feeding programs.
At Tuesday’s city Board meeting, Givs said the six-week program fed 12,000 meals to the elderly, disabled and veterans.

The city’s laws on criminal damage to property and unnecessary noise need to updated, according to Alderwoman Germaine Simpson.
Speaking about the need to bring some peace and quiet to the city’s neighborhoods, Simpson said, “It is really annoying and disturbing to just think that you work all your life, you pay for a home, you want to enjoy and then you can’t. You just don’t want to have somebody else rob you of that. It is not fair.”
