Broussard, Plaisance, Hardy) NAYS: 0 ABSENT: 0 ABSTAIN: 0 Therefore, the motion carried unanimously. Mayor White turns the floor over to Ms. Debbie Garrot, a Vermilion Parish Police Jury employee for Animal Control, for a discussion on the dog ordinance. Mrs. Garrot discussed complaints regarding dogs owned by Stephen Huntsberry on Matthews Drive. City Attorney Bart Broussard noted that certain breeds, specifically pitbulls and rottweilers, are automatically classified as “dangerous” under city ordinances regardless of whether they have a prior history of biting. Because Mr. Huntsberry’s dogs fell into these breed categories, they are subjected to additional regulations. Ms. Garrot stated that she visited the property to assess the situation. Some of the dogs were removed from the property by an organization named Animal Aid, but several dogs still remain on the property. The Council’s primary concern was whether the owner was following the specific legal requirements for keeping “dangerous” breeds within city limits. The requirements Mr. Huntsberry must meet to keep the dogs on his property legally are the following: • The dogs must be kept in a “proper enclosure”, defined as a securely enclosed pen on a concrete slab with a secure top and sides. • There must be clearly visible signage posted on the property that warns the public about the dogs. • The dogs must be muzzled and restrained by a leash whenever they are off the property or out of the enclosures. • All dogs must be up to date on rabies and other required vaccinations. Ms. Garrot states that Stephen Huntsberry’s dogs are not vaccinated which is how dogs are registered in Vermilion Parish. Attorney Broussard states that the Council does not have the authority to remove the dogs, but they can send a letter through code enforcement of the violations found. The Council did not take any formal action, but Ms. Garrot was directed to work with the owner to ensure compliance with enclosure and vaccine requirements. Mayor White turns the floor over to Mr. Carlton Campbell regarding the property at 1502 Wabash. Mr. Campbell informed the Council that the property owner was not present, but they are working with the tax department to get a self-demolition permit to demolish the structure. -11 introduced by Mr. Francis Plaisance and seconded by Mr. Carlton Campbell to condemn the structure at 1502 Wabash and allow the property owner 60 days to complete the demolition. The motion carried unanimously. -12 introduced by Ms. Terry Broussard and seconded by Mr. Tony Hardy to ratify and accept the estimate from Ray Chevrolet in the amount of $6,453.80 to install a refurbished transmission in a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe. The motion carried unanimously. Campbell/T. Broussard Resolution R25-35 A resolution setting City of Abbeville Holidays for calendar year 2026. The motion carried unanimously. Mayor White and the Council expressed their deepest gratitude for Chief Mire’s 30+ years of dedicated service to the city. -13 introduced by Mr. Tony Hardy and seconded by Mr. Brady Broussard Jr. to approve payment of Chief Jude Mire’s annual leave in the amount of $52,151.58 because he is retiring effective 12/18/2025. The motion carried unanimously. Mayor White turns the floor over to Electrical Supervisor, Mr. Stewart Head. Mr. Head explains that the expense was required following a critical breaker failure at the Pete Noel Substation. Currently, the substation is functioning with one transformer until the new breaker is installed. -14 introduced by Mr. Tony Hardy and seconded by Mr. Francis Plaisance to ratify the expense to purchase a breaker for Pete Noel Substation from LUS at a cost of approximately $110,000.00 plus additional expenses for labor to install it. The motion carried unanimously. -15 introduced by Mr. Carlton Campbell and seconded by Mr. Tony Hardy to approve payment of partial payment estimate number 5 in the amount of $227,629.12 payable to Preferred Mechanical, LLC relative to the Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project.
