# New Iberia City Council Meeting September 15, 2026

The City of New Iberia held a City Council meeting on September 15, 2026, with several procurement and contracting matters discussed. Key procurement actions included awarding a contract to Environmental and Utility Solutions LLC for the Oak Street Drainage Improvements Project valued at approximately $92,000, and approving change orders for the Pepper Plex improvements project and the Sugarcane Festival Building HVAC upgrades, with costs around $120,000 under budget and $66,000 respectively. The council also authorized a new $100,000 contract with Hydroplast Solutions for advanced ditch regrading and cleaning services to improve drainage. Additionally, the council introduced ordinances related to accepting a $160,000 donation from the Louisiana Sugarcane Festival Association for building restoration and a $750,000 economic development incentive agreement with BGN I LLC for a commercial development project expected to create 70 jobs and generate significant tax revenue. Discussions included project scopes, budget adjustments, and coordination with state agencies. The council also debated the renewal of a school zone speed camera contract, ultimately leaning toward discontinuation in favor of increased traffic enforcement by officers, contingent on school board cooperation. Overall, the meeting focused on capital improvement projects, vendor contracts, budget allocations, and economic development incentives.
