The prayer and Pledge of Allegiance were Mr. Natali. Mr. Natali presented a plaque of appreciation to Rev. Wallace, thanking him for his service as president in 2025. He then asked if the board would agree to move Item 8.A. to the top of the agenda, as Mr. Breaux needed to leave the meeting early. There was no opposition. ROLL CALL The roll was called by Superintendent VanMetre and the following members were present: Mrs. Hardy-McReynolds, Mr. Roberts, Mrs. Ayo, Rev. Wallace, Mrs. Gay, Mr. Breaux, Mrs. Fontenot, Mr. Pichon, Mr. OBanion, Mr. Baumgarten, Dr. Washington, Mr. Natali, Mr. Castille, Mr. Tarver, and Mr. Hardesty. Item 8.A. COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Employee Benefits Committee/December 12, 2025 Mr. Breaux read the following report, all items for information only with no action to be taken. The Calcasieu Parish School Board Employee Benefits Committee met in the Board Room at 3310 Broad Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 4pm. The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman, Mrs. Glenda Gay. Ms. Phyllis Ayo led us in prayer and in the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll was called by Mr. Jay Bergeron, and quorum was present. The following committee members were in attendance: Billy Breaux, Glenda Gay, Phyllis Ayo, Damon Hardesty, Tony OBanion, Patrick Pichon, Vanessa DeVille, Beth Eason, Troy Fontenot, Wayne Foster, Mike Hill, Hollie Howard, Renee Overby-Rule, and Loree Smith. Committee members not present were Shawn Baumgarten, Dr. Suresh Chiriguru, and Ava Sullivan. No formal action was taken, but the members present received the following information on the status of the health insurance plan from Kathy Sonnier with HUB International: Our current health care costs are over budget by 2.8% 2025-2026 Plan Year budget for May- October is $27,346,402 2025-2026 Plan Year spend for May- October is $28,125,395 The current trend to account for inflation and the cost of medical care is again 7% for the third straight year. In addition to those trends, CPSB health insurance members are spending more than is budgeted for the fourth year in a row. We have 7 large claimants so far this plan year compared to 5 from last year. None of them have reached the reinsurance threshold yet, so while the claimants have cost the plan less so far, CPSB has not received any reinsurance money yet from Stop Loss coverage. HUB International marketed our current PBM contract and secured better contract rates for the 2026-2027 plan year with ExpressScripts and Crumdale. If expenditures were to remain the same, the new contract rates would save CPSB $4.6 million or 6.9% of our total budget Jay Bergeron shared information about meetings held with United HealthCare and Meritain on the exploration into pricing differences between TPAs. It was highlighted that the only notable difference between each TPA was the data reporting capabilities of each and that moving to a different TPA would not have an impact on health insurance premiums at this time. Mr. Bergeron then gave an update on the status of the RFP for an employee health clinic, as well as a preliminary cost analysis conducted by HUB International, and the creation of a questionnaire that will accompany the RFP once it is approved by the board and then advertised. Finally, Mr. Bergeron presented the committee with an update on the new Walk to Wellness program that is enhancing participation in the CPSB Wellness program and an overall summary. There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Billy Breaux, seconded by Mr. Damon Hardesty, and was approved unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES On a motion to approve by Mr. Hardesty and a second by Mr. OBanion, the Minutes were approved on a unanimous vote. PRESENTATIONS A.

ATTEST: ARLENE BLANCHARD, Clerk JOY ABSHIRE, Chairman The next item on the agenda is an introduction of ordinance authorizing Mayor Danahay to enter into an Act of Donation with the Town of Evergreen Police Department for the purpose of donating a Motorola Mobile Radio.

Motion was then made by Mrs. Hardy seconded by Mr. Nezat that the said ordinance be filed and remain on file with the Clerk of the Council, in final form, for public inspection and that the Mayor is hereby authorized and instructed to publish the Public Notice of Introduction of the above proposed ordinance in the American Press, the official journal of the City of Sulphur, Louisiana, and that the said Notice of Introduction of the above ordinance is substantially in the following form: PUBLIC NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given, in accordance with Section 2-12B of the Home Rule Charter of the City of Sulphur, the following ordinance: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING MAYOR DANAHAY TO ENTER INTO AN ACT OF DONATION WITH THE TOWN OF EVERGREEN POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DONATING A MOTOROLA MOBILE RADIO. A public hearing on said ordinance will be held at 5:30 p.m. on the 9th day of February, 2026, in the Council Chambers at their temporary location, 501 Willow Avenue, Sulphur, Louisiana. CITY OF SULPHUR, LOUISIANA BY: JOY ABSHIRE, Chairman Motion carried. The next item on the agenda is public comment. Cynthia Robertson, West Verdine Street, asked Council to review Roberts Rules of Order and modify the allowance of the 3 minutes that speakers can give to someone else. Each person giving their time to another speaker shouldnt have to come to the microphone each time as long as that person is in the room then that should be acceptable. Danny DiPetta, Bonin Drive, stated that hed like to take Mrs. Robertsons concern a little further. He asked for a point of clarification on how a person does yield their 3 minutes to another speaker. Billy Loftin, City Attorney, stated that the Council adopted new rules in December that allows speakers to yield their 3 minutes to another speaker. For instance, if he had a client that went to the meeting and a group of people wanted to speak on that issue, they could yield their 3 minutes (12 minutes total) to that one speaker rather than each person getting up to speak. The goal is to consolidate their time to express their concerns. Thats not how its being used tonight. The purpose/rule is well intended. Mr. DiPetta stated that if the person that is getting the time donated to them and they dont have anything to say they shouldnt have to get up and say they dont have anything to say. This would speed up the meeting. Kayla Badin, Alabama Street; Tiffany Ruckstuhl, Common Street and Barry Baden, Beauregard Avenue, yielded their 3 minutes to Josh Badin. Josh Badin, Alabama Street had concerns: 1. DHH filed complaints on the city on Oct. 25th on a correction that was supposed to be made on a water leak, and they gave the city 5 days to fix it. The leak still isnt fixed. The fine is $3,000/day plus penalties. (Post Oak Road). 2. On the opposite side of Post Oak Road water is also blowing into the ditches. 3. He also stated that Mrs. Thomas had stated earlier in the meeting that if someone feels that an ordinance is misinterpreted, they should call their Council representative. On his property at 2209 Carr Lane the Land Use Commission put stipulations on his property that werent actually in an ordinance. He then went to the Council meeting and argued that these stipulations placed on his property werent in the ordinances. This caused him financial damage, and he had to hire an attorney. This is one of the reasons hes running for Council is because the Council misrepresents. 4. He submitted a public records request on all permits/inspections done for the Marshals office. He didnt receive one build-out for this project when he had to do this for his building on Prater Road and Carr Lane. Theres no Fire Marshal or build-out submittals not even drawings. The International Fire Code states that on a municipal building that exceeds 5,000 sq. ft. and has a large occupancy that its required to have a fire suppression system. The city is not in compliance with the ordinance. He also brought up the fact that there wasnt a drinking fountain, so the city went and bought a water cooler. How did the city get a certificate of occupancy when they were in violation of all these ordinances. 5. Another issue is Mrs. Thorn, Director of Finance, stated that the lease was signed prior to doing the build-out. Permits were pulled for $55,000 but the lease agreement strictly states that the tenant is responsible for the cost of any build-out and when he did, the request theres no cost as to what the owner spent. Mrs. Thorn told him that the renovations werent included in the cost of the rent. How did the city come up with this figure for the rent? Was a market analysis done to come up with the $20,000/mo. rent? The documents he received do not reflect the pricing. This was a $320,000 improvement thats not covered under the federal reimbursement for private property and not one time was it put out for public bid. $320,000 for a parking lot for a private investors parking lot and he gets to keep the improvements with no reimbursement to the city. Then the same guy that made the improvements is the owner of the property. Yall all talk about transparency and here yall say nothing was done wrong? Hes asking at least one person from the city to ask for a legislative audit on everyone. The public deserves that. He would like to participate in submitting some questions for the Auditor to look at. 6. Mr. Baden then invited Mrs. Abshire, District 4 Councilman, to go around the city to look at all the water leaks. He also invited Mrs. Abshire to annex her business into the city limits. Michelle Mellard, Pete Seay Road; Glenda Coulter, South Hazel Street and Valerie Walker, Leonard Road, yielded their 3 minutes to Sheila Broussard. Mrs. Broussard stated that she reported the Council to the Attorney Generals office back in June, 2025 because the Chairman did not recognize someone who wanted to speak. She sent the reel of the audio to the AGs office. The Councils actions show lack of transparency. At the end of the letter it says the Council undermines transparency. District 1 Councilman said she did not read that the letter stated lack of transparency but the letter said, undermines transparency. The letter from the AGs office does state that Mrs. Wingate (lady requesting to speak) is heard asking to speak. Mrs. Broussard then stated that she was waiting for an apology from the Council to Mrs. Wingate on making this error. Mrs. Broussard then went on to transcribe what exactly was said at the June meeting. Two other members of the Council at this June meeting looked at Mrs. Wingate for 5 seconds and they didnt say anything either. These two Councilmen could have called for Point of Order so Mrs. Wingate could speak. All Councilmen are held liable for following Roberts Rules of Order and the Constitution. The only reason the Council wasnt held accountable by the AGs office is because Mrs. Wingate did not fill out a speaking card for item #2. The Chairman did ask if anyone had comments and Mrs. Wingate did raise her hand. In the new guidelines that were just adopted, it needs to say that the Chairman is to ask if anyone from the public has anything to say. There being no further business to come before the Council, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. ATTEST: ARLENE BLANCHARD, Clerk JOY ABSHIRE, Chairman 1/12/25 7:10 P.M.
