ATTEST: ARLENE BLANCHARD, Clerk DANNY DIPETTA, Chairman The first item on the agenda is a resolution authorizing an investigation pursuant to Section 2-08 of the Home Rule Charter of the City of Sulphur into the citys hiring, appointment, suspension, and termination practices to determine compliance with the Home Rule Charter, city ordinances, adopted personnel policies and applicable Louisiana law. Mr. DiPetta stated that he would like to make the following amendment to Section 1 of the Resolution: SECTION 1: Establishing an Investigative Committee Upon adoption of this resolution, the Chairman of the City Council shall appoint a two five person committee made up of 2 council members which may include the Chairman to coordinate and direct the investigation within the scope of the Resolution to be referred to as the Personnel Committee. Mr. Baden stated that hed like to make additional amendments. Hed like to add dates, names involved and names of departments. The Resolution is too vague. Hes in support of the resolution but it needs to be more specific. Mr. DiPetta then read a letter which included that there will be witness notices and subpoenas. Barry Badon stated that all Council has to do is read the Home Rule Charter and it tells you how to do these kinds of things. Your motion isnt specific. Mayor Stutes then stated that it needs to be noted in Mr. DiPettas investigation of their employment interference. It was stated to him by Mr. Darby and Mr. DiPetta that they would challenge him as Mayor with employment of certain individuals. If they want to fight him on employment that has to be dealt with also. Its backhanded what yall are doing. He just wanted that to be on record. Mr. LeDoux stated that if were going on record let me read Section 4-12 of the Home Rule Charter. It says the Mayor may propose to the Council the creation, change, alteration, or consolidation or abolish of City departments, offices and agencies and/or the reallocation of the functions, powers, duties and responsibilities of such departments, offices or agencies, including those provided for in this charter. Mr. LeDoux stated that everything he just read is with Council approval. In the budget that was handed to Council in the Organizational Chart the residents of Sulphur are at the very top then the City Council, Mayor, City Court and Marshal. Those departments branch off with one going to the Mayor and one going to City Council and everybody follows underneath that and hiring Chief of Staff should have had Council approval. Billy Loftin, City Attorney, stated that he advised the Mayor on anything that has occurred during his hiring or firing within the city since he became Mayor does not constitute an administrative reorganization. Mr. DiPetta stated that this is one part of the investigation. Charlie Atherton addressed the Council and spoke on what the Mayor may do according to the Home Rule Charter. Mrs. Monceaux stated that she does agree with the investigation but doesnt agree with any member of the Council being involved in it. Mr. Darby stated that he agrees with Mrs. Monceaux. At this time Mr. Darby commented on what the Mayor said earlier about Mr. Darby fighting him on everything. Mr. Darby clarified that what he may have said at his business or on the streets that if you were going after people in our employment like Chief John Wall or Chief John Naquin that are outstanding people, then I will fight you for protecting those guys. I never said I would protect you against anybody that was underqualified. There was then discussion on whether the Mayors Chief of Staff is qualified or not. Mr. Darby stated thats the reason so many people are at this meeting. Sheila Broussard then addressed the Council and spoke on the Council having the right to do the investigation and how the board that will be appointed had to abide by the open meetings laws. Wendy Wingate addressed the Council and stated that this whole conversation only dealt with making one amendment to the resolution. Changing from 2 to 5 Councilmen and inserting 2 other council members. This is hypocrisy because you shut people down from speaking. There was then discussion about who was involved in making the decision on the two amendments in this resolution. Mr. Loftin, City Attorney, stated that he was involved with Mr. DiPetta in making this amendment. Bill LeBlanc addressed the Council and stated that people need to see whats going on in these meetings and they need to remember this at election time. Mr. LeDoux then asked who would be on this committee. He would like to see someone from the west side of town be on it. Another amendment would be to stop talking about the investigation until its final and there are results. Mr. Baden stated that hes made multiple attempts to contact Mr. DiPetta on his resolution to disseminate some of the information and he hasnt given us any information. Mr. DiPetta then asked Council Clerk to make a note that Mr. Baden is not staying on the topic of the amendment. Mr. Baden then asked the Council Clerk to make a note the Mr. DiPetta is withholding information being bias and almost a form of obstruction of justice in the investigation that hes asked for. Bill LeBlanc addressed the Council and asked for them to get a third party for the investigation. Charlie Atherton addressed the Council and suggested that the Council remove this from the agenda and get together and discuss it then come back with a solution. Mr. Darby stated that he would remove his motion and Mr. DiPetta removed his second on the amendment. Motion was then made by Mr. Darby seconded by Mr. Baden that the resolution be deferred to the next regular Council meeting. A vote was then called with the following results: YEAS: Mr. LeDoux, Mr. Darby, Mrs. Monceaux, Mr. Baden, Mr. DiPetta NAYS: None ABSENT: None And the resolution was deferred to the next regular Council meeting on this 14th day of September, 2026. ATTEST: ARLENE BLANCHARD, Clerk DANNY DIPETTA, Chairman Mr. Loftin, City Attorney, then read what his suggestions would be to the resolution: Upon adoption of this resolution, the Chairman of the City Council shall appoint a 5-person committee made up of 1 appointee from each district within 30 days to coordinate and direct the investigation within the scope of the resolution as set forth in the top of the resolution to be referred to as a personnel committee.

Charlie Atherton stated that the ordinance has to be in final form before Council can introduce or adopt it. It has to be ready for codification.

Why would they want the Attorney to review this ordinance and not every ordinance. It was her understanding that the Attorney was involved in all items on the agenda.
