WHEREAS, it has been reported that State of Louisiana and several coastal parishes have settled its coastal erosion/coastal permit disputes with several large oil and gas companies; and WHEREAS, additional coastal erosion, coastal permit, coastal management, and other similar settlements have been reached and others are nearing completion; and in the Cameron Parish coastal erosion/coastal permit litigation have apparently reached agreements to settle such litigation with other coastal parishes and are in the process of memorializing those settlements; and WHEREAS, the St. Mary Parish Council previously adopted the May 8, 2024, Resolution expressing its opposition to “any lawsuits” filed by Governor John Bell Edwards, Attorney General Jeff Landry, and the 16th Judicial District Attorney against oil and gas companies for, or on behalf of St. Mary Parish re- garding coastal erosion/coastal permits; and WHEREAS, the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District has not filed any lawsuit(s) against oil and gas companies for, or on behalf of St. Mary Parish regarding coastal erosion/coastal permits, but as a prudent advisor of St. Mary Parish Government has, whenever possible, continued to monitor any such lawsuits filed by other parishes; and WHEREAS, despite having not filed any coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar lawsuits against oil and gas companies, the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District has been approached by the State of Louisiana and oil and seeking to settle any coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar claims against said companies in the same or similar manner as the settlements with other parishes; and WHEREAS, the failure of St. Mary Parish to accept any such offer to settle any such coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar lawsuits being made by or on behalf of any various oil and gas companies will not prevent such companies from settling those claims with the State of Louisiana resulting in St. Mary Parish being un- able to depend up- on or direct the settlement proceeds to coastal restoration projects in St. Mary Parish.
