Coby Clavier, who started his second term this month on the St. Landry Parish Council, was elected chairman at Wednesday’s meeting.
Clavier served as vice chairman in 2019 and as chairman of the Public Works Committee in 2016.
Clavier said his goals include conducting meetings in an orderly fashion, building unity and helping the Council achieve a balanced budget.
Clavier is manager at Coburn’s Supply in Eunice.
The new chairman faced his first test on the job when a vote came up for a seat on the St. Landry Parish Tourism Commission.

By a 5-3 vote, the Acadia Parish School board approved a three-year extension of Superintendent Scott Richard’s contract.
The vote followed an hour-long executive session and was preceded by an attempt to put the vote off for a month.
After James Proctor made the motion to extend the contract, Steve Jones offered a substitute motion to table.
“I think we should put this off for one month to get more ideas, more information from our schools,” he said. Becky Atkinson seconded.
But the vote to table failed 5-3, with only Milton Simar joining Jones and Atkinson.

The Acadia Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 17-year-old Makailyn Guillory who was last seen on Dec. 29, 2019, in the Kathy Apartment complex in Crowley.
It is believed she left with a friend to go to Grand Coteau. Guillory may be in the Eunice, Crowley or Sunset/Grand Coteau area.
Guillory is described as a female with an olive complexion, 110 pounds, 4’7” in height, with black hair and brown eyes.
