The Bogalusa Council met Tuesday (December 6) evening to deal with a full agenda that included selection of a new Council President and Vice-President. Tamira Smith was elected as President to replace Sherry Fortenberry and Doug Ritchie was elected as Vice-President. Smith presided over the rest of the meeting that included both routine matters and also controversial issues.
Six ordinances were introduced that will be considered at the next meeting on December 20 and held Public Hearings on five ordinances. The Council
- approved an ordinance to purchase the property at 1041 Avenue D from Ms. Diana King Boleware,
- voted against a zoning change ordinance that would have advanced the move of the Washington Parish Tourism Commission to the triangle on Louisiana Avenue and Virginia Avenue,
- approved a zoning change in order to open a home care/sitting service office located at 423 Carolina Avenue,
- approved an ordinance related to contracting for obstruction removal on the runway at the George R. Carr Memorial Airport, and
- approved an ordinance to accept the lowest estimate for overlaying the 1400-1500 Block of North Roosevelt.
Kendall Bullen was appointed as the Bogalusa Police Chief, replacing Joe Culpepper, and the Council voted to approve the appointment. However, the appointment drew comments, both supporting and opposing, the appointment. (See previous article and video related to this matter)
