# St. Tammany Parish Special Council Meeting : October 28, 2026

At the St. Tammany Parish Council special meeting on October 28, 2026, the council approved Resolution C7336 authorizing special counsel to represent the parish in a lawsuit after a judge disqualified the parish’s existing counsel. The parish’s legal office will handle the appeal and seek a stay; special counsel is authorized so the parish can be prepared to take over if the appeal is unsuccessful. The transcript identifies no firm, contract amount, or fee. The resolution passed unanimously, with one member absent.

The council also considered Resolution C7337, concerning opioid settlement funds and state-mandated obligations, including jail medical services, the judiciary, and the district attorney’s office. An amendment was approved unanimously, with two absent, to have the relevant agencies apply to the opioid committee for review and justification before requests return to the council for a vote. The transcript ends during the vote to adopt the resolution as amended, so its final outcome is not available.
