Livingston Parish Council 4 23 26

The Livingston Parish Council meeting held on April 23, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved resolutions to renew fire protection district taxes for districts 8 and 9, which fund fire protection facilities and equipment. They also discussed and approved a resolution to ratify bids for the Livingston Parish Better Roads Project 202561, covering approximately 15 miles of roadwork with bids coming in about $1 million below the engineer's estimate. Additionally, the council considered a conditional waiver related to an AT&T telecommunications tower setback, requiring further review and planning commission approval before final action. Other agenda items included bond issuance ordinances, amendments to parish codes, and appointments to boards. The meeting also addressed ongoing litigation related to a tourism board appointment, with council members debating the legality and financial impact of prior actions. Several proclamations and community event announcements were made, but no new contracts or vendor selections beyond the road project were reported.
