The motion carried unanimously. -05 introduced by Mrs. Rachel Touchet Mouton and seconded by Ms. Terry Broussard to approve the tree trimmers of high-powered transmission lines to remain an additional four weeks at a cost of $9,900.00 per week. The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Noegel asked Mr. Chris Gautreaux for an estimate of the number of power outages caused by falling tree branches. Mr. Gautreaux stated that in the last 30 outages about 27 of them were caused by falling tree branches. It is a legitimate issue. 99% of the trees are on private property and are growing into the electrical lines. We are not trimming branches on private property. We only trim those branches that are in the power lines in the City’s right of way. This is an issue everywhere. Chris Gautreaux, Public Works Director • We are dealing with a lot of water leaks right now. Larry has a short crew and it is hard work. Every day we have 5-8 water leaks to deal with. We had two emergencies today that could not wait. We may have to call in a crew every once in a while, to help us. We try to strategically plan that so we can give that crew three to four water leaks while they are here working. Some leaks only take a short time while others may take all day, especially if you have to dig and break a road. The drought has something to do with it. If constituents call you, we will get to them as fast as we can. We also have to wait on Louisiana One Call to clear before we dig so that takes time too. He thanked Chief Langlinais for the Fire Department’s help cleaning Peace Street today. Byron Dozier, Parks and Recreation Coordinator, QSA • Flag football season is underway. The first round of games will begin on 9/28/26. We will play on Monday and Tuesday nights. The season will conclude on 11/3/26. We are looking for sponsors. The sponsorship is $200.00 per team. • Biddy Basketball registration has started. Registration will continue until 11/1/26. Mike Hardy, Police Chief • He announced the resignation of Officer Sundy. He is trying to hire one officer. Doris Langlinais, Jr., Fire Chief • There was a significant fire at 701 Clover Street. There was no power going to the home but people were staying there. The fire is currently under investigation by the State Fire Marshal. • Went to Starbase, Texas a couple of weeks ago. He made contact with SpaceX staff there, the fire department and their governmental affairs. Councilwoman Terry Broussard • NAUW members are looking for girls ages 10-15 Big Sister, Little Sister organization. They do great things with the young ladies. She can put anyone interested in contact with Bridget Winters. They meet on Saturdays at Herod Elementary. • This Saturday, Uniquely U will be held at Comeaux Park from 11 AM to 1 PM. Councilwoman Rachel Touchet Mouton • Thanked Chris and his crews for the water leak repair and for the lighting upgrade on Sucre Circle. Councilman Brady Broussard, Jr. • He discussed the upcoming events: 9/17/26 is Sounds on the Square. Rusty Metoyer and Zydeco Krush will be performing. 9/18/26 is the Abbeville Homecoming.

The vehicle was wrecked and has been totaled. The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Noegel began a discussion pertaining to tiny homes and container home developments. He is not against tiny homes or small homes. He is concerned about the construction in offshore container homes. Sarah contacted him last week about this issue. The Police Jury placed a moratorium until they can review this and come up with some regulating language for tiny homes. In Erath, they just starting popping up in lots. It looks like a portable school building in neighborhoods. We want to get ahead of this. We need to put a moratorium on this so it can be studied further. Mr. Chris Gautreaux stated that he has been working on a tiny home ordinance as well as a subdivision ordinance with Kim Touchet. Mr. Kim Touchet stated that the current IRC does not contain container homes but it does have a section for tiny homes. We have only had a few in the parish. We do make sure they are certified for the wind zones and other things. We have had to deny some because they did not meet code. Councilman Noegel asked Bart Broussard if we should include the Abbeville Planning Commission when this is drafted. Mr. Bart Broussard agreed that would be a good idea. They may have recommendations. If the Council does vote on the moratorium, the Council could vote on a case-by-case basis pending the adoption of an ordinance. -08 introduced by Mr. William Noegel and seconded by Mr. Brady Broussard, Jr. to put a moratorium in place for tiny homes and container homes until a regulating ordinance can be drafted and to include the Abbeville Planning Commission on the creation of any ordinance pertaining to same.

The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Bui began a discussion pertaining to properties adjudicated to the City. We have a few properties that the City needs to get rid of. It is costing the City a lot of money having to maintain those properties. We have to cut grass and it is also a liability for us. We need to sell those properties. Mr. Bart Broussard stated that he could work on that. He asked that Councilman Bui have Sarah submit those properties he concerned about. It is a long process and it takes several steps. We have to make sure we notify the correct people even though the redemption period may have passed. Councilwoman Broussard asked Bart if he would work on the properties in her district too. Mr. Broussard stated he would. Mr. Chris Gautreaux stated that Sarah already has a list of all the adjudicated properties within the City that she can share with Bart. -11 introduced by Mrs. Rachel Touchet Mouton and seconded by Mr. Brady Broussard, Jr. to authorize the City Attorney to work on getting properties adjudicated to the City ready for sale. The motion carried unanimously. Chris Gautreaux, Public Works Director • Thanked Councilman Bui for the motion to begin getting rid of properties adjudicated to the City. It is long overdue. • The vertical turbine at the Water Plant seized up during the cleaning of the clear well. The parts are obsolete so he may need to start looking for a new vertical turbine. • They are watching the weather now. It looks like the tropical disturbance will go closer to New Orleans or Biloxi. • We got through the Cattle Festival with no problems. The cleanup was great. • Tonight we have the National Night Out and Sounds on the Square will be Thursday. • The brown water calls have slowed down and it is our hope that the clarifier will be online by Thanksgiving. When we get the calls, we send the Fire Department out to flush the hydrants. Sometimes that helps clear it up but sometimes it actually makes it worse. So far, it has been working though. Parks and Recreation update provided by Cristian LeJeune • Flag football games are being played tonight at Theriot Field at 6 and 7 PM. • Biddy Basketball registration is open and online until 11/1/26. Mayor Anita Levy • October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Levy Cancer Foundation will hold the Breast Cancer Luncheon on October 23, 2026. If you need tickets, please contact her. Lieutenant Chris Hardy • We answered 523 calls in the month of September and had 36 arrests. Doris Langlinais, Jr., Fire Chief • The relocation of their dispatch system has been completed. It was removed from the St. Theresa Water tower location and moved to the Main Fire Station. This allowed them to get rid of a generator and a couple of portable buildings that are there. It is working well. The City can clear out the clutter that is under the water tower and we can also abandon the two antennae that are on the water tower. • Fire Prevention week is ongoing. It will continue throughout the month of October. • The last extended sick leave employee will be able to return to work for his next shift. At one time we had five personnel being on extended sick leave about a year ago. Now we have no one on extended sick leave. Councilwoman Terry Broussard • Next Step Project Walk is October 17, 2026 beginning at 9 AM. • We will have a Community Cleanup on October 17, 2026 at Harmony Park from 9 AM to 11 AM. Special thanks to Stephanie Anderson for her volunteering team to do this. We are also seeking additional volunteers to join us. Councilwoman Rachel Touchet Mouton • The Pink and Gold Gala will be held at Magdalen Place on 10/8/26 from 11 AM to 1 PM. This is for the Vermilion Council on Aging. • Thanked Stewart, Chris and Theresa for their hard work they have been doing in Sucre Circle to get that area lighted. Councilman William Noegel • Thanked all employees who assisted with the Cattle Festival. They did a great job. -12 introduced by Mr. William Noegel and seconded by Mr. Brady Broussard, Jr. to adjourned the meeting. The motion carried unanimously. ATTEST: APPROVE: Kathleen S.
