Bossier City-Parish MPC Special Meeting Live Stream - August 14th, 2025

The Bossier City-Parish Metropolitan Planning Commission held a special meeting on August 14, 2025. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the 2026 MPC budget, which maintained current funding levels but accounted for increased costs in group health insurance and consultant fees, with funds reallocated to support anticipated ordinance drafting. The commission also approved a plan to increase the right-of-way width from 60 to 80 feet to accommodate front yard utilities, a change supported by local utility providers and designed to improve infrastructure and traffic flow. Additionally, a conditional lease approval was granted for the sale of low-content alcohol at a specified Innovation Drive address, with a correction to the address noted for city council follow-up. The meeting concluded with the introduction of a new assistant planner specializing in urban and regional planning.
