2026-09-03 CPC Regular Session

The Caddo Parish Commission held a regular session on September 3, 2026, where significant discussions focused on zoning, environmental concerns related to data centers, and animal control appeals. A key procurement-related item was the approval of ordinance 6640, which amended the budget to appropriate $75,000 for installing welcome signs on I-20 eastbound. The commission also adopted ordinance 6639 concerning a parish zoning case. Public comments and commissioner discussions highlighted concerns about the environmental and health impacts of data centers, emphasizing the need for planning, zoning, and nuisance ordinances to regulate such developments. Additionally, the commission upheld a dangerous dog determination following an appeal, illustrating their role in animal control enforcement. No new contracts or RFPs were directly discussed, but budget amendments and zoning ordinances indicate ongoing capital and regulatory activities affecting future procurement and development in the parish.
