A millage adjustment and an amendment to the city’s noise ordinance are among the items on Tuesday’s Eunice Board of Aldermen agenda.
Eunice Mayor Scott Fontenot and aldermen Jack Burson, Dale Soileau and Jason Betrand meeting at City Hall Thursday to begin forming the agenda for the meeting scheduled to begin with public hearings at 6:15 p.m.
The millage adjustment follows a roll back of the amount after a reassessment. The general alimony millage is to increase from 6.59 back to 6.77. The street millage is to be moved from 4.87 to 5.
The noise ordinance amendment allows an exception for city-sponsored events such as Mardi Gras.
In general loud noise is prohibited from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Friday and Saturday; and from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Fontenot said he may name members of economic development board if another ordinance is revised.
LAWCO’s 25-year franchise agreement is to expire at the end of this month, but it will be extended as the city seeks answers to a few questions, Fontenot said.
Burson said the LAWCO franchise has been a success for the city noting water problems in area cities.
The aldermen will also launch the budget process with an eye to a June adoption.
