– The St. Martin Parish Council’s combined Public Works and Administrative/ Finance Committees considered a request from Councilman Vincent Alexander to use funds from the old Hospital Service District No. 1 savings to pay for a grant to find a way to expand water service from the Cecilia Water Corporation to residents in Anse La Butte.
Alexander, whose District 7 comprised a small part of the hospital district, said that he had agreed to vote with District 8 and 9 council members Ben Clay and Chris Courville after they requested the money from the fund, which the parish acquired when the hospital service district was closed several years ago, to improve Paul Angelle Park and the parking lot there in Cecilia.
Alexander said he agreed to do that because people in his district also use the park, and he wants to work with the other council members.
