2026-05-21 CPC Personnel, Policies, and Procedures

The Caddo Parish Commission's Personnel, Policies, and Procedures Committee convened on May 21, 2026, to discuss updates and potential revisions to the commission's bylaws, meeting procedures, and public comment policies. Key topics included maintaining decorum during meetings, the order of business, and the possibility of introducing a consent agenda to streamline the approval of routine items. The committee also considered how to better incorporate clerk's reports and public notices into the agenda to improve transparency and efficiency. Additionally, there was discussion about the handling of public comments, particularly regarding online submissions, which have since been removed from the website due to legal concerns. The committee agreed to take the information under advisement and schedule a follow-up meeting to further refine these policies. No specific procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were made during this session.
