# Lafourche Parish Council Meeting 11/10/26

The Lafourche Parish Council meeting on November 10, 2026 included public hearings and review of the proposed 2027 operating and capital budgets. The council discussed a proposed $10,000 allocation for the Commission on Women’s Louisiana Girls Leadership Academy, with the parish president saying it could be included in a supplemental appropriation around March, subject to available revenue; no allocation was approved at this meeting. Budget questions included a recreation increase and a road sales tax adjustment, which the president later attributed to recreation funding routed through the parish and balancing costs associated with the CODL bridge project. The council also discussed deobligating $966,833.11 from the Bayou Vista project; the transcript does not clearly capture the related final vote.

The council approved a right-of-way agreement with Valentine Royalty LLC for the Lockport-area bridge project, by a 7–0 vote with one abstention. It also approved construction change orders, including a 35-day time extension (the project and price details are garbled in the transcript), a $13,358.45 increase and 10-day extension for Hurricane Ida repairs to the Sheriff’s Office interior, Phase 2, and a $42,831 increase for Hurricane Ida repairs to the old courthouse; the latter was discussed as addressing additional asbestos and concealed building conditions. The council accepted a Fiscal Year 2026 Emergency Management Performance Grant of $60,766.15. These spending-related resolutions passed without recorded opposition, with one council member absent.
