2026-11-02 CPC Work Session

The Caddo Parish Commission held a work session on November 3, 2026. Commissioners and public speakers discussed a proposed sports complex that was on the ballot the following day. Supporters described it as an investment in youth sports, tourism, and the regional economy; speakers also cited parking and capacity limits at existing facilities. The discussion did not include a contract award or a procurement vote. Commissioners also discussed questions about Ordinance 6679, which would appropriate $125,000 for the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank, and the value and budget allocation of oil and gas lease revenues. The housing choice voucher item was described as appropriating increased HUD grant funds for the program; the transcript’s figures for the increase are unclear.

Commissioner Thomas moved to advance Ordinances 6678 and 6679 and several resolutions to Thursday’s meeting for consideration. The motion passed 10–0, with two commissioners absent; it advanced the items and did not approve the proposed expenditures. A special resolution recognizing Major Leon Joseph was added to the agenda. No vendor selections, contract awards, or bid approvals were identified.
