St. Tammany Parish Agenda Review Committee : September 23, 2026

The St. Tammany Parish Agenda Review Committee met on September 23, 2026, to discuss upcoming agenda items including the introduction of the 2027 operating and capital improvement budgets. Key procurement-related discussions included ordinances related to finance and public works, such as accepting ponds and laterals into the parish maintenance system and authorizing the parish government to enter into an easement agreement with Norfolk Southern Railroad for installation and maintenance of a water line as part of the Alton Highway 11 project. The committee approved the ordinance to proceed with the railroad agreement. Additionally, there was a significant presentation and discussion regarding the protection and preservation of Native American mounds and cemeteries within the parish, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts and potential funding to safeguard these historical sites. While this cultural preservation topic did not directly involve procurement decisions, it may influence future budget and project considerations related to land use and conservation.
