2026-09-14 CPC Work Session

The Caddo Parish Commission held a work session on September 14, 2026, where several agenda additions were considered, including a proposal to change the meeting time of the commission meetings and a resolution urging the establishment of a Louisiana single cell comprehensive care program. The commission discussed the procedural requirements for changing meeting times, noting that such changes require a two-thirds vote of the quorum present. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the introduction of ordinance 6642 of 2026, which proposes amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) regarding minimum off-street vehicular parking requirements. This amendment aims to reduce unnecessary parking mandates for businesses, thereby cutting red tape and supporting local entrepreneurs. The ordinance had been successfully implemented in the city earlier in the year and was now being considered for adoption at the parish level. Other topics included community meetings, property standards, and housing issues, but no contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this session.
