Mayor Boulay recommended Petrie, describing her as a licensed attorney with experience in title examination, curative work and closing documents and as an active community member and 25‑year resident. Maria Petrie was present at the meeting and answered no substantive questions; councilmember Champine moved appointment and Mr. Bolgiano seconded. The council voted to approve the appointment; staff said Petrie will be sworn in before the next court session.

Petrie’s primary practice, the mayor said, centers on title work for residential and commercial property across multiple parishes, but the mayor noted she has experience in other areas of law as well and affirmed confidence in her readiness to serve as magistrate.","The Youngsville City Council unanimously appointed Maria Petrie to serve as magistrate judge for the city court; Petrie, an attorney with a title-examination practice and a long-time Youngsville resident, was present for the meeting and will be sworn in before the next court session.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6323994,"Council agrees to begin annexation process for 1.015-acre tract at end of Briarcliff Drive",182,906000,1088000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658&start=906&end=1088","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658/thumbnail_906000.jpg","/articles/6323994/Youngsville/Lafayette-Parish/Louisiana/Council-agrees-to-begin-annexation-process-for-1015-acre-tract-at-end-of-Briarcliff-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6323994-63208750d40aa2595665c3e3fdd2114a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207003&Signature=Nb9CGnw-tHdDkTS1KCm-fwl7yF2pfy5kYFouOvPAeyn1c-YlESEUMfIFCHC7uLNIJyzH~M4sEXxqikwjGuHxYpnIdH72VRul1n~xmA1dfC8xdVpLzdhFMLKoI1jejvcXtBRSD5qEr64-7uCpUz1RaihhFIAgxJbLMtvXVgYUtSzFNFmq0iVxB5ZD6~lXVmW~Xo1L5xUy37TvWlE4uf~FnRQZCReLjAjsDsqcyA2WjsTEgfMU3C5sqx0JsjVVjLVrTbalsXkkezlaAFb8NiVBSvd6FF5MQ8UhZGbKcl4DZSEa~C9U~I~3txWyMZ61QZXrOpcIGUWkJIHtINrz1y6mlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Youngsville City Council voted Feb. 13 to allow the city to begin the annexation process for Tract 8 A 1, a 1.015-acre parcel contiguous to 339 Briarcliff Drive. The council’s action authorizes staff to have the property owner begin the preparatory work—such as surveying and voter‑roll verification—that the city requires before introducing an annexation ordinance.

City staff explained that annexation into the city is done by ordinance and typically requires the petitioning property owner to pay for survey work and administrative steps, including clearing registered‑voter issues with the parish. Staff said the parcel is an unincorporated island near the end of Briarcliff Drive off Guyatt Road; the owner intends to move a mobile home onto the property and prefers municipal water service.

Council members asked staff about ordinance and mobile‑home compliance; staff said the property appears to meet setback and age requirements described in city ordinances and that the owner’s intent is to have both parcels in the city. Councilmember Bolgiano moved to approve beginning the annexation process and Mr. Nyland seconded; the motion passed by unanimous vote of members present.

If the applicant completes the required work, staff said the item will return to council as an introductory ordinance at a future meeting.","Youngsville City Council authorized staff to begin the annexation process for Tract 8 A 1, a 1.015-acre parcel contiguous to 339 Briarcliff Drive; the process requires steps paid by the property owner and will proceed by ordinance if the applicant completes required surveying and voter-clearance steps.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6324000,"Council approves resolution to accept SS4A grant agreement for Young Street intersection with 25% recipient share",77,2079000,2156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658&start=2079&end=2156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658/thumbnail_2079000.jpg","/articles/6324000/Youngsville/Lafayette-Parish/Louisiana/Council-approves-resolution-to-accept-SS4A-grant-agreement-for-Young-Street-intersection-with-25-recipient-share","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6324000-10c99baedee1b844d3d8df0127ccfb99/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207003&Signature=mkC~~A-zHrDBElFyI7KQOY6YpPmub33r3bFtz22IEasmFfbo6GDTnLutpyd9zrq2AkE5xRdM88dep~4GOamMYO-SUL4tzNWowTIfj0MngR7hqioKPdXHzTUbbIV4t3osGS-IYdYbUIT~hVEJbGUOyqiQwdGbDgrMVPdaSMeEF1RPlJX2UpYwUMS0BB45odbSgEPMHi~FiLyEYY7FlWJvgKk6ljwd3es77bZRC8ZmWw~IZCY8FnaSLwWjFAtu-v0wefZA50sgYqOcBcI4I47oEHE5fRIyl-Qjsu3UOeNDqYZN4uBd4PQdF6gu5Fp19IPMsg2T3G5vhpYWvz8WQiSr8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Youngsville City Council on Feb. 13 approved a resolution authorizing Mayor Boulay to execute a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration under the fiscal-year 2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program for Young Street intersection safety improvements.

City staff said the engineer’s current estimate for the project is $3.7 million, which would require a $700,000 local match. The council approved a 25% recipient share for Youngsville; the match will be allocated among the participating cities (Youngsville’s share is 25%, with the remainder apportioned to partners). City staff said a landowner at the intersection has agreed to donate the anticipated right-of-way; that donation credit will count toward the local match and be allocated 75% to Youngsville and 25% to Broussard per the current agreement draft.

The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution unanimously among members present. The item allows the mayor to complete grant paperwork and formalize the city’s responsibilities under the SS4A award.

Council members did not amend the engineer’s estimate in the meeting; staff said the project will advance through design and right-of-way work in coordination with partner jurisdictions and the grant administrator.","The council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a grant agreement with the U.S. DOT under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program for Young Street intersection safety improvements and approved a 25% recipient share, with the local match to be shared with neighboring cities and credited by donated right-of-way.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6324005,"Council approves $2 million budget amendment to pursue Anselm Cooley regional retention pond under LWI grant",95,1578000,1673000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658&start=1578&end=1673","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658/thumbnail_1578000.jpg","/articles/6324005/Youngsville/Lafayette-Parish/Louisiana/Council-approves-2-million-budget-amendment-to-pursue-Anselm-Cooley-regional-retention-pond-under-LWI-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6324005-700de8767f2e9f7b2e781e757cadb882/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207003&Signature=iuIQQIJMZ-6iQLgXHUZt6jIOwOWVXe60TDr6AD~gtBO3CLmrgYBRF3qDYZD7TmQ5SUHUMCaajZGZU80lWQAbd75ksV72aqpuCoWp8Kd6SV-FNTTipPae6VoUeHzF6XQh6Otgg4BjeC8t-Ryzizf-122eTETWzj0w8TzWy3yYCtEXpxXV50zKcmZbKODSj2yQmGcSkDJEL8H7uP6ZZeMJMcEuRJV3Ji3z3ZQrhXCOsMbYDxDBbNI2IZ87RQ3P2u4LS3Of53NKlOYnKphKGY8QeHZttPZ44ubYioqBuDrmtVf8X~CSciwCCRELljcxuMJjrD-cywb0ocVmbIObGOvS4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Youngsville City Council voted Feb. 13 to amend the FY2024–25 budget by $2,000,000 to cover design and land acquisition for the Anselm Cooley regional retention pond, a project the city says is fully funded by the Louisiana Watershed Initiative (LWI) grant program.

Pam, a city staff member who updated council on the project, said plans are about 90% complete and that the city has submitted plans and drainage studies and resubmitted revised documents this week. The city is awaiting a Corps permit; once the permit is secured, staff said, environmental clearances will follow and the city may begin negotiating land purchases.

Pam described the retention pond as roughly 20 acres located on the western side of the city in the Anselm Cooley drainage channel; staff said the project is intended to complement other regional detention work in the same drainage system and ultimately reduce flood risk that drains toward the Vermilion River.

Council members moved and seconded the item and approved the amendment; staff said design, land acquisition and future construction costs will be submitted for reimbursement under the LWI grant and that the project administrator will be a state office assigned to manage the funds.

Councilors approved the budget amendment unanimously among those present.","Youngsville council agreed to amend its FY2024–25 budget by $2,000,000 for design and land acquisition of the Anselm Cooley regional retention pond, to be fully funded by the Louisiana Watershed Initiative (LWI) grant program.",{"_33":123,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":124,"_41":125,"_43":126,"_45":127,"_47":128,"_49":129,"_51":130,"_53":131,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":132,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":133,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6324010,"Youngsville council awards waterline interconnection contract to Lula Construction, within $600,000 state appropriation",107,1148000,1255000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658&start=1148&end=1255","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2340062-e34b5a6ea91b384d422d1cf749486658/thumbnail_1148000.jpg","/articles/6324010/Youngsville/Lafayette-Parish/Louisiana/Youngsville-council-awards-waterline-interconnection-contract-to-Lula-Construction-within-600000-state-appropriation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6324010-0d3562ff53e4770ef2dc165b4ef93f08/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207003&Signature=FUaMxob5AMXj1SCaNvnqD6eRx10URbzkxM2XzzCKMlVia6yC-6GtbLUU2egI2QuFZCHScJh6G55fSUVDNaVHbYYd7yTKR9kQ~DLwDSdmNEBY4SzIPFfih2P4jswgGldWdGOP3C9Y0-qzR5I-maqqvH8JOB-C9173z0km~OtS76YmO1ezAEcV8NnlnvO-H8aURb77IB4fbpx9y0Mwr4cXPFtAVjEXeu9eTamjHdKCqyU6iptuCeLvHZ4l7EDb9WAcIThpe469FBivFQiAfvYY51IkwKQQgq5yVFhMU7PwNvMSDBtxMELE~nTENkr16PZYOSkH6~quSzM3rE16oymAAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Youngsville City Council on Feb. 13 awarded a contract to Lula Construction LLC for waterline interconnections meant to distribute water from the city’s new water plant, approving the low base bid of $568,486 and accepting an additive alternate that brings the total contract price to $596,086.

Council members and staff said the work will help move finished water from the new plant to areas south of the city and add isolation valves in older parts of town where valves were not previously common. Susan, a city staff member who presented the bid tabulation, told council the low bid and the recommended additive alternate—two 8‑inch isolation valves on School Street and Fourth Street—fit within the $600,000 state appropriation received in a supplemental act and require no local match.

The council voted to accept the low bid and the recommended alternate and to amend the budget to record the incoming grant revenue. The motion to accept the low bid including alternate 1 and to amend the budget passed unanimously among members present.

City staff said the isolation valves will reduce the number of customers impacted by planned or emergency shutoffs and increase operational flexibility between the city’s two water systems. Susan said the recommended contractor is prepared to begin work quickly.

The bid opening produced five bidders; the city recommended accepting Lula Construction’s low bid plus the downtown isolation valve alternate to remain within the $600,000 appropriation.

The council’s action included direction to amend the fiscal-year budget to account for the grant revenue and contract award so the city can execute the agreement and start construction soon.","The Youngsville City Council approved a $568,486 low bid from Lula Construction LLC for waterline interconnections and accepted an alternate that raises the contract to $596,086, to be funded by a $600,000 state appropriation with no local match.","actionData","errors"]
