PUBLIC COMMENT TIME!
Parish Council
Resolution
Tax renewals for the airport, library and drainage on the Oct. 9 ballot. Losing these millages would mean reducing airport and library services, and essentially zeroing out funding for drainage in the parish.
Tax rededication of public health millage to fire protection in unincorporated Lafayette on Oct. 9 ballot. If approved, this rededication would move approximately $500,000 per year from the public health unit and mosquito and animal control to fire protection. A couple of years ago, residents in unincorporated Lafayette voted down creating a special fire taxing district. In recent years, parish government hasn’t had enough money to keep the fire rating in unincorporated Lafayette from rising or to reimburse the city for responding to emergency calls. But this rededication may face political pushback, as some believe property owners parishwide shouldn’t have to pay for fire protection that only serves unincorporated Lafayette.
