Please remember that burning leaves and limbs is prohibited by city ordinance due to the proximity of residences from each other for pollution and fire safety issues. Bagged leaves will be picked up on the regular pickup day if placed at the street next to the garbage tote. • I am requesting approval of a 3% increase in wages for our career personnel.

In his mayor’s report, Mayor Williams said; • Update on phase IV Water Distribution Project I am pleased to report continued progress on the city’s Phase IV Water Distribution Project, the contractor is expected to begin construction within the next few weeks, starting on Washington Street. The city is encouraging all residents and property owners located between Main Street, LaSalle Street, Washington Street, and Tate Cove Road to visit city hall to review and sign any necessary right-of-way agreements. If needed, the city will also have staff go door-to-door to ensure these agreements are signed and properly notarized. A sample notice letter for affected residents is attached. I am extremely thankful that this project is moving forward. Once the water project is completed, the city will continue working with the state to address the final improvements and overlay Main Street and LaSalle Street. • Evangeline Economic Development Authority update last Thursday, I had the opportunity to serve as a guest speaker at the Evangeline Economic Development Authority meeting, where I provided an update on the daily progress the city of Ville Platte is making across multiple areas. It was important to share the positive direction our city is headed and the work being done to strengthen infrastructure, economic development, city services, and long-term growth. • LGAP and CWEF grant initiatives the city continues to pursue funding through the local government assistance program to be utilized for purchasing additional street cameras and the community water enrichment fund will be used for system upgrades in our city’s water dept these programs are critical to helping the city address essential infrastructure needs • Update on the old city hall building significant progress has been made at the old city hall building. A new central air conditioning system has been installed and is operating properly, roof issues have been addressed, and interior renovations are currently underway. All of this work is being completed in preparation for welcoming Southwest Louisiana Credit Union and putting this building back into operation. This building has been vacant since approximately 2017–2018, and I am proud to see it being revitalized and returned to active use for the benefit of our community. • New water well #12 project update today, the city held a pre-construction conference for the development of a new water well, to be designated as well #12. Construction on this well will begin soon. Well #12 is designed to produce approximately 850 gallons per minute and represents a major step forward in strengthening our water system. The age of many of our existing wells makes this project essential. Water is one of the most basic and necessary resources in life, and ensuring a reliable supply is a top priority. This project is expected to be completed by late August or early September. The city currently operates well #6 & 8 (1986), well #9(1990), well #10(1997), and well #11 (2003), new well #12 (2026) • Update on the city’s wastewater system The City’s wastewater system remains one of our most critical pieces of infrastructure. When I took office, addressing long-standing compliance issues at the wastewater treatment facility was one of my top three priorities for my first term. I established a targeted timeframe to confront these challenges, and I am pleased to report that meaningful progress is now being made and that we are moving in the right direction. Progress at the wastewater treatment plant was initially delayed due to contractual constraints inherited from the previous administration. Specifically, the City was unable to take corrective action while bound by the Sustainability Partners contract executed in August 2022. Under the terms of that agreement, ownership of the wastewater treatment plant was transferred away from the City, leaving Sustainability Partners as the owner upon execution of the contract. After a thorough review, my administration presented documentation demonstrating that the City had entered into an illegal contract, as it involved the incurrence of debt without the required approval of the State Bond Commission. The State subsequently confirmed this deficiency, which allowed the City to exit the agreement. Following a negotiated settlement of $10 million to be repaid to Sustainability Partners, the City was able to regain full control of its wastewater assets. In March of 2026, the City expects to learn the amount of subsidy funding it will receive through the State Revolving Loan (SRL) Program, following our request of up to $8 million. The SRL Program offers an interest rate of approximately 0.95%, which is exceptionally favorable in today’s economic climate and significantly better than any financing options previously available to the City. Prior to this administration, in 2022 the City had entered into a highly complex and costly agreement with Sustainability Partners totaling approximately $15 million to rehabilitate the existing wastewater treatment plant. As part of that arrangement, Sustainability Partners also paid off approximately $8 million of low-interest debt owed to the Louisiana Department of Health from the City’s 2009–2010 water distribution project. However, this structure also required the City to make payments on approximately $8 million in bonds previously paid off by Sustainability Partners, with interest rates ranging from 9% to 12% or higher. Upon careful analysis, it became clear that this agreement was overly convoluted and financially detrimental to the City. With the support of the City Council, this administration halted that project after fully outlining the risks and long-term financial impacts. As a result, the City is now positioned to move forward with a far more sustainable, transparent, and cost-effective solution for its wastewater infrastructure—one that protects taxpayers and ensures long-term compliance and stability. I want to thank Mr. Charles Jones our (city’s wastewater superintendent) for his dedication and the hard work he puts in daily at the plant. It’s greatly appreciated. Mr. Jones has shared that the plant had been neglected for many years before me, and he is very thankful for the progress made under this administration. Many tests that were previously failing are now passing staying below permit requirements. I also want to thank our wastewater and sewer employees for the difficult and often unseen work they do—literally getting it out of the sewer when duty calls. I strongly believe in giving credit where credit is due. • Update on the new fire station project the city continues to make progress toward the construction of a new fire station. I want to give special recognition and thanks to State Senator Heather Cloud and State Representative Rhonda Butler for securing over $2.8 million in funding for this project. Their support and advocacy for Ville Platte are greatly appreciated. Last week, myself, Donald, and fire chief Chris Soileau met with USDA representatives to discuss options for securing the remaining funding. We are also exploring potential financing through the Louisiana Public Facilities Authority, which offers favorable rates and options. If everything falls into place and the remaining funding is secured, we anticipate construction could begin late this year or in early 2027. This project has been in the making for over seven years, and I want to recognize fire chief Chris Soileau for his persistence and dedication. This project highlights the importance of a strong fire department, quality fire services, and the many safety and insurance benefits they provide to our community. This concludes the January mayor’s report. A resolution to adopt a Citizens Participation Plan as a requirement for the Love Louisiana Grant Project to assure that all citizens interested in reasonable access to local meetings have the opportunity to do so, was offered by Alderwoman Frank and 2nd Alderman Roy. Motion passed unanimously. Before the meeting was adjourned Alderwoman Frank asked to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters. There being no objection, Alderwoman Lemoine 2nd the motion and the motion passed unanimously. A motion to renter into the regular meeting was offered by Alderwoman Frank and 2nd by Alderman Roy. There being no further business to come before the council, Alderwoman Frank motioned and Alderwoman Sam seconded to adjourn. Motion unanimously passed and the meeting was adjourned at 6:31 PM.
