TOWN OF CULLEN SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES Town of Cullens Mayor Pro Tempore and Board of Aldermen convened a special meeting at town hall. The special meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro Tempore, Floydean White, at 5PM on Monday August 17th, 2026 in the Council Room of the Municipal Building, 405 Coyle Avenue, Cullen, Louisiana 71021. ATTENDANCE Floydean White, Mayor Pro Tempore - Present Barbara Green, Alderwoman - Present Bianchi Veal, Alderwoman - Present Denise Epps-Hoof, Alderwoman - Present Yolanda Castleman, Alderwoman - Present Fannie Rankin, Cullen Police Chief Present All councilmembers are present; thus, a quorum is established. INVOCATION Alderwoman, Denise Epps-Hoof, led the invocation. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Everyone in attendance stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. CALL TO ORDER Mayor Pro Tem, Floydean White, called the meeting to order. INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 504 Alderwoman, Bianchi Veal, read aloud and in full THE RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT THE APPOINTMENT OF A FISCAL ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE TOWN OF CULLEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LA. R.S. 39:1351 before the Town Council. EXPLANATION OF RESOLUTION TO BE ADOPTED Town Attorney, Amberlee Nix, provided a brief summary of what the resolution will do and what a fiscal administrator does. Amberlee explained, Speeds up the process of appointing a fiscal administrator by consenting and cooperating with the Attorney Generals office instead of the attorney general having to file suit and basically compel the town to cooperate and appoint a fiscal administrator. We believe the thing that triggered this was the water issues. The public health and safety is a big thing that can bring the Attorney Generals office to a town to do this kind of thing to appoint a fiscal administrator and so basically this resolution will be filed with a joint motion that is mentioned in the resolution and the vote will happen down south, thatll be the auditors, the treasurer, and the attorney general, but instead of having a big discussion about it theyll say well they consented were going to vote yes on everybody and its just a way quicker process to do it this way instead of contesting it and having a long drawn out court process which could delay things for a couple months and the water situation in particular is pretty dire, so thats basically what the resolution will do As far as what a fiscal administrator does the basic way of saying it is they will come in the town will cooperate with them in providing documents they need to do a review of all the towns financials and do what he can to get the town back on stable financial footing. When he comes in, I think the initial review wont take very long, but we cant promise that this is going to be a quick process, and I know that Josh mentioned last week its probably not going to be an easy process either. The fiscal administrator may make some decisions that you dont like, but we do think that this is a step in the right direction to getting the help that we need because, I think Josh explained last week, we cant get any bond commission funding or anything like that because we are on the non-compliance list for audits but with the fiscal administrator, he can suggest that and go before the bond commission and get that funding for us to get us on better footing and get the state funding that we need to get the Town of Cullen back running the way its supposed to. He will help with the budget, he will help with getting that state funding, he will help with getting a process going so this doesnt happen again. One of the requirements for a fiscal administrator is that he leaves with at least a 3-year plan for the town to go forward, so I believe financially this will be the best decision because the guy thats in Baton Rouge thats going to help, he is a CPA and hes done this before. This isnt that uncommon theres some towns around here that this has happened for before and their back on better footing now. RESOLUTION NO. 504 Mayor Pro Tem, Floydean White, motioned to adopt resolution No. 504 to approve cooperation with the Louisiana Attorney Generals office regarding the appointment of a fiscal administrator. The motion was seconded by Bianchi Veal, so the motion passed to a vote. The Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to adopt resolution No. 504 to approve cooperation with the Louisiana Attorney Generals office regarding the appointment of a fiscal administrator. Therefore, it be resolved, that the Board of Aldermen is on record as supporting the appointment of a fiscal administrator and hereby gives its consent to such appointment. VOTE Floydean White, Mayor Pro Tempore - Yea Barbara Green, Alderwoman - Yea Bianchi Veal, Alderwoman - Yea Denise Epps-Hoof, Alderwoman - Yea Yolanda Castleman, Alderwoman - Yea BONVENU BANK REPRESENTATIVES Mayor Pro Tem, Floydean White motioned to appoint herself and Alderwoman, Barbara Green, as Authorized Signers on Town of Cullens accounts at Bonvenu Bank. The motion was seconded by Alderwoman, Bianchi Veal, so, the motion passed to a vote. Alderwoman, Yolanda Castleman, motioned to table appointing Authorized Signers to Town of Cullens bank accounts at Bonvenu Bank until the state appoints a fiscal administrator. No one seconded the motion, so the motion failed to pass to a vote. The Board of Aldermen voted, four to five, to add Mayor Pro Tem, Floydean White, and Alderwoman, Barbara Green, as Authorized Signers for Town of Cullens accounts at Bonvenu Bank. Therefore, it be resolved, that the Board of Aldermen have appointed Mayor Pro Tem, Floydean White, and Alderwoman, Barbara Green, as Authorized Signers for Town of Cullens accounts at Bonvenu Bank.
