Quiet July meeting for Parks Village Council

Parks - The July meeting of the Parks Village Council was brief, with only a few items requiring official action.

Council members voted to approve the minutes from the June meeting and passed a resolution supporting the Teche-Vermilion Freshwater District’s efforts to have the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers clean up Bayou Teche. Additionally, the council approved a new 10-year agreement with SLEMCO to continue providing electricity to the village.

Mayor Kevin Kately provided updates on several ongoing projects. He reported a recent incident at the village boat dock, where someone illegally dumped a 55-gallon drum of oil during the night.
