Item Ten was to discuss damages done by a city worker backing a city truck into a parked car in a parking lot. A motion to pay $271 claim was made by Alderwoman Frank, 2nd by Alderman Roy. Motion passed unanimously. The Engineer’s report was tabled. Fire Chief Soileau reported for the month of March, • In March, the fire department was dispatched to 11 incidents in the city and 4 incidents in the surrounding fire district, totaling 15. One of the incidents in the city was the commercial structure fire on Northwest Railroad. Firefighters were able to control the incident and extinguished the fire preventing damage to adjacent occupancies. • Firefighters completed 40 additional smoke alarm installations in March, in addition to the dozens of alarms installed during the “Sound the Alarm” event on March 14th. • I would like to recognize 2 more firefighters who earned their Fire Service Instructor I certifications in March: Career Firefighter/Operator Dennis Scott and Part-Time Firefighter/Operator Spencer Bordelon. Both of these men are dedicated to sharing knowledge and skills and building up our members to be effective team members. • Annual pre-incident occupancy reviews and response planning was completed in March and crews began performing annual attack and supply hose pressure testing on each apparatus. These activities will continue this month along with spring cleaning. • New Central Fire Station Bid process is commencing within the next few weeks. • End of my report. Police Chief Thomas’s report was read by Alderman Jagneaux: during the month of March the police department responded to a total of 420 calls for assistance, up by 72 from February. 14 citations, up by 2, for a total of 33 arrests, up by 4. This included 6 felony arrests, down by 3. Officers also responded to 19 accidents, which was up by 4. There were no fatalities. This concludes the chief’s report. APRIL MAYOR’S REPORT Wastewater treatment plant update: The city is currently awaiting a response from the state regarding our SLRF application, which includes a favorable interest rate of 0.95% along with subsidies. The request submitted was for up to $8 million to completely revamp the wastewater treatment plant, which was originally placed into service in the mid-1980s and has seen minimal maintenance over the years. Since taking office, I have dedicated significant time and effort to addressing the city’s infrastructure needs, with the wastewater treatment plant being the final major component. While we have made substantial progress and are in a much stronger position than before, this remains a critical priority. After exploring multiple options, the most feasible and economical approach is to upgrade the existing system that has served the city for over 30 years, including the boat clarifier and rotor setup. This decision is further supported by cost estimates exceeding $17 million for full replacement options. Moving forward, the city will be advertising for bids for a new boat clarifier, repairs to existing wall structures, and the removal of accumulated sludge. These steps will allow us to proceed with necessary upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant in a responsible and cost-effective manner. Clearance grant project update: The clearance grant project has been successfully completed, with over 25 homes abated, demolished, and removed. Now that we have a full understanding of how the program operates, we will be applying for additional funding to continue addressing more properties throughout the city. Our streets and drainage crew have also been actively working to address dilapidated structures. I would like to personally thank Mr. Challis Green, Codie Jackson, Malcom Seria, Rj Anderson, Neal Alfred, and all supporting staff who continue to work tirelessly to keep our city moving forward. To date, the city has cleaned up over 25 properties, with many more identified for future action. One of the primary challenges has been the availability of dumpsters for debris removal. Due to high demand, it can take up to a week or more to have dumpsters emptied. To address this issue, I took the initiative to secure a roll-off dumpster system for the city. Within the next two weeks, the city will have its own system consisting of four dumpsters. This will significantly improve our ability to address blighted properties without delays. I strongly believe in ensuring our teams have the tools and resources necessary to get the job done efficiently. Workforce development: The city will be partnering with the Acadiana Works office to participate in their work experience program. This program provides up to 440 hours of work at no cost to the city, including workers’ compensation coverage. We anticipate starting with two to three participants, which will further support our operational needs. Parks Project: Significant strides have been made by the current administration to improve the overall quality of life for our citizens, especially our youth, through continued investments in our city parks and recreational facilities. These efforts have included upgrades to multiple city parks, the installation of new playground equipment, the addition of splash pads, and the resurfacing of basketball courts with creative sports tiles. These improvements were strategically initiated to demonstrate to the State of Louisiana that the City of Ville Platte was actively moving the parks project forward in an effort to retain the Capital Outlay request that had been in place since 2017 under the administration of Governor John Bel Edwards. The city remained committed to showing progress and good-faith efforts toward completing the project despite ongoing financial challenges. Unfortunately, the City was recently informed that the Capital Outlay request previously secured for the parks project has been withdrawn under Governor Jeff Landry’s HB#2 budget priorities, which are currently focused more heavily on statewide infrastructure projects. Nevertheless, this administration remains proactive and committed to continuing improvements throughout our parks system. Funding for additional park enhancements will be incorporated into the City’s upcoming budget, and we will continue pursuing strategic planning opportunities and self-initiated projects to ensure our citizens and youth have access to safe, modern, and enjoyable recreational spaces. In closing, this administration remains committed to moving the city of Ville Platte forward through strong leadership, strategic investment, and a focus on long-term sustainability. This concludes the April mayor’s report. There being no further business to come before the council, Alderwoman Sam motioned and Alderwoman Frank seconded to adjourn. Motion unanimously passed and the meeting was adjourned at 6:10 PM.

Legal Notice Evangeline Parish Water District No. 1 955 Railroad St. P.O. Box 166 Pine Prairie, La 70576 Phone: (337) 599-2169 Fax: (337) 599-3102 April 14, 2026 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER EVANGELINE PARISH WATER DISTRICT NO. 1 FAILED TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION FOLLOWING IDENTIFICATION OF A SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY On November 18, 2025 the Louisiana Department of Health and LDH performed a detailed inspection and engineering evaluation of our water system called a sanitary survey. During this sanitary survey they identified one or more significant deficiencies in our system. As our customers, you have the right to know what happened and what we are doing to correct this situation. According to the EPA’s Ground Water Rule, we were required to correct the deficiency or work with the State to develop a plan to correct the deficiency. However, we failed to correct the deficiency or contact the State before the established deadline and have therefore violated a requirement of the Ground Water Rule. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do. You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. If a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink you will be notified within 24 hours. What does this mean? This is not an emergency. If it had been an emergency, you would have been notified within 24 hours. This significant deficiency has the potential to result in lack of proper treatment and oversight of the water system. Inadequately treated or inadequately protected water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, cramps, and associated headaches. While we have not detected any evidence of contamination or other health threats related to our source water, we are still committed to correcting the deficiency to eliminate the threat of contamination. What was done? The customers that are required to get the backflow preventor inspections were contacted and informed that they must get the inspection by a licensed professional and to send the reports to the water district. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Evangeline Parish Water District No.1 at 337-599-2169 or by mail at PO Box 166 Pine Prairie, La 70576 Sincerely, Evangeline Parish Water District No. 1 051426 Cost is $80.00
