New Iberia City Council Meeting November 3, 2026

The November 3, 2026, New Iberia City Council meeting addressed several infrastructure and spending matters. The council considered Change Order No. 2 for Pepper Plex renovations, using the project’s remaining funds for park landscaping; staff reported the project was nearing completion. It also considered an amendment to the Tesh Haven subdivision agreement ahead of bidding on the road work: the city’s contribution is capped at $389,000, the developer would cover the next $300,000, and costs above $689,000 would be shared. For the wastewater treatment plant odor-control project, the council considered awarding the contract to NCMC LLC, supported by $450,000 in state funding; approval was made subject to clarification from the Louisiana State Treasury about release of funds. The meeting also discussed substantial completion of the Wetna housing work by ENL Construction and an annual, budgeted contribution to the teen court program.

The council introduced an ordinance to bring adjudicated-property sales in-house, aiming to reduce costs and return vacant properties to use; members requested further review of its legal and conflict-of-interest provisions before final consideration. In the Highway 14 Economic Development District meeting, the council considered the district’s FY 2027 operating budget and a cooperative endeavor agreement with BGNI LLC involving partial reimbursement for infrastructure and commercial development from a 0.5% sales and use tax. The transcript ends before the agreement’s final disposition is clear. No contract amounts were stated for Pepper Plex or the Wetna work.
