Breaux Bridge - At the July meeting of the Breaux Bridge City Council, two police officers - Keilen Boyd and Tracen LeBlanc - were honored for their actions during a February emergency call. The officers responded to a residence where two women were found unresponsive due to carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator running indoors. The officers removed both women from the residence; one survived, but the other did not, despite the officers’ lifesaving efforts.
The council also rejected a proposed ordinance by Alderman Sam Melancon to stream council meetings, with a 3-2 vote against the measure. Melancon argued for the change, noting that state law will require streaming once the city’s population reaches 10,000 (current estimate: 7,000), but the council ultimately voted it down.
