2026-10-22 CPC Regular Session

The Caddo Parish Commission held a regular session on October 22, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is October 23 UTC). The main procurement- and capital-related discussion concerned a proposed $60 million parish indoor sports complex bond measure, which commissioners said would be on the November 3 ballot. The proposal was described as a project from the parks master plan, with courts, a family recreation center, and a sports medicine facility. The administrator clarified that the proposed bond funds could not be redirected to Shreveport streets, drainage, water, or other projects if the measure failed; no contract award or spending approval for the complex was made at this meeting. Commissioners also discussed parishwide tax limits and funding responsibilities. A request for food donations during the holiday season was raised, but the administrator said funds were not appropriated and the item could be placed on a future agenda.

The Commission introduced Ordinance 6648 concerning the Shreveport Memorial Libraries’ 2027 budget and asked that a library representative be notified to speak at the next regular-session public hearing. A citizen also recommended updating technology in the Caddo Parish District Court, but the transcript records no action on that suggestion. The Commission held public hearings on zoning and other ordinances; no procurement awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or contract approvals were identified.
