2026-11-05 CPC Regular Session

The Caddo Parish Commission’s regular session, held November 6, 2026 (identified in the meeting title as the November 5 session), included one adopted budget ordinance and two budget ordinances introduced for later consideration. Ordinance 6648 passed 9–0, with three commissioners absent; discussion immediately afterward concerned the Shreve Memorial Library’s budget and communication with the commission. The commission introduced Ordinance 6678 to amend the 2026 Housing Choice Voucher Program Fund budget and Ordinance 6679 to amend the Riverboat and Oil and Gas Fund budgets and provide an appropriation to the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank. No contract awards, bids, or vendor selections were identified.

A speaker addressed the defeat of the proposed Caddo Parish sports complex tax initiative, noting that organizers would assess voter concerns and consider next steps; no new spending action was taken. Commissioners also raised potential infrastructure matters, including a proposed Amazon data center at Resilient Technology Park, a request to meet with its representatives, and the rising cost of the Dawson Road extension, for which some funds were said to be appropriated. Other discussion included a possible multi-purpose public-service center at a church property offered for sale. These were requests or proposals, not procurement approvals.
