Council members conducted public calls on several zoning matters and took formal votes that were recorded on the council’s voting machines.

The most significant financial measure authorized the issuance of revenue bonds—up to $6,000,000 in aggregate principal—by the Houma–Terrebonne Airport Commission to fund airport improvements and purchase assets. The council also approved a package of budget and capital outlay amendments allocating several hundred thousand to millions of dollars for local projects. Multiple routine and land-use ordinances were adopted, and the council called a special election following an announced upcoming vacancy in the Clerk of Court’s office.

Appointments and administrative business: the council ratified numerous board and commission appointments (recreation districts, downtown development corporation seats and others) and accepted committee minutes for the public service, budget and finance, and policy, procedure and legal committees.

Several items were moved with limited discussion and passed by recorded machine votes. Where recorded on the transcript, votes were unanimous or near-unanimous. The council’s meeting file shows public hearings were held (first, second, third calls as required) on zoning items before votes.

No formal votes were recorded in the transcript to change millage roll-forwards, and where the transcript lacked a specific tally the council clerk recorded the outcomes as passed during the meeting.

Ending: The council closed the meeting after announcements of upcoming community events and an adjournment motion that passed on a recorded vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Terrebonne Parish Regular Council Meeting held on April 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Terrebonne Parish Council on April 30, 2025 approved a not-to-exceed $6 million revenue bond for the Houma–Terrebonne Airport Commission, multiple rezonings and leases, traffic and weight restrictions, and amendments to the 2025 operating and five-year capital outlay budgets.","taxTitle","Terrebonne Parish (Consolidated Government), Louisiana","taxId",25015,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6569427,"Terrebonne Parish Clerk of Court announces retirement; council calls special election",112,1599000,1711000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3183695-193d7a57b7f60e02a888e23c920e4b58&start=1599&end=1711","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3183695-193d7a57b7f60e02a888e23c920e4b58/thumbnail_1599000.jpg","/articles/6569427/Terrebonne-Parish-Consolidated-Government/Louisiana/Terrebonne-Parish-Clerk-of-Court-announces-retirement-council-calls-special-election","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569427-1e7c51e3b4d8dd8ae338444145e03b3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174608&Signature=BReGHs8A02KqhHqcTHjpFoD2ahri9ggma~MNERTCN7-J~oVWBWFu~Y6wAuEGjkY7FPecSForC9gBH7ogyo~mvE8Xg8BhbLSjoITkQxgwFVzKQqFYRoIA11IKaxysFmyxlyvGfcxfV93mSbsC51Pm1qXtb27eYFItBMb2--5iIaYLRaL-y~XUuDIZ92TRR8e9pzNOxQv9m3aVYuJHuge6QPh3oRnmurWm18jdpAI27EHGCuDV8OhzO1Nw83ceMoHLRjQ74Yxy208TzxAMHnx-oV2TeoVNg-2OqjdGI-WB3JoMAPKNjI6ScXWtqnvBn8q4XWcJg5l2xlGiznfImtzhjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Teresa Robichaud, the Terrebonne Parish Clerk of Court, announced at the April 30, 2025 council meeting that she will retire effective Nov. 30, 2025.

Unfortunately, it is for personal reasons that now require me to be away from the office more frequently. I believe it to be in the best interest of the staff and the public that I resign. Until then, I will continue to dedicate myself to performing my duties as your clerk of court.”

Following the announcement, the council adopted a resolution calling for a special election to fill the anticipated vacancy, citing La. R.S. 18:602(E)(2)(a). The motion to call the special election was moved by Council member Danny Babin, seconded by Council member Kim Chauvin, and recorded as 8–0 in favor.

Nut graf: The special-election resolution initiates the statutory process for replacing a constitutional or elected officeholder whose anticipated vacancy will occur during the term. The transcript and meeting record indicate the council will work with the parish elections office to set the election schedule and related steps under state law.

Ending: Robichaud said she will continue in the role through Nov. 30, 2025; the council accepted her statement and set the process in motion by calling the special election.","Clerk of Court Teresa Robichaud announced she will retire effective Nov. 30, 2025.

Ed Jarvis, who introduced himself as the recently appointed executive director for the Houma–Terrebonne Airport, told the council he began in the role Jan. 6 and described the bond funding as intended to “improve the airport and also to buy another asset,” and to support training programs. “We have some universities that will be coming to the airport to provide not only mechanic schools for folks that are interested in working on airplanes and helicopters, but also for those that are interested in getting an airplane or a helicopter rating,” Jarvis said. He also mentioned unmanned aircraft systems programs the airport is pursuing.

The motion to approve the bond authorization was made by Council member Kim Chauvin and seconded by Council member Danny Babin; the council recorded the vote as 8–0 in favor.

Nut graf: The bond authorization gives the airport commission authority to borrow against future revenue or pledged sources to make capital investments. Jarvis characterized the measure as an economic development step, citing workforce training and aviation services as priorities. The council did not detail bond structure, interest rates or pledge sources in the public record at the meeting; those details typically appear in subsequent financing documents and commission records.

Background and next steps: The resolution authorizes issuance by the airport commission; the commission and parish administration will complete financing documents, disclose security and repayment terms, and — if necessary — return to council for related approvals. Jarvis asked for the council’s support and described outreach to universities and training partners as part of the airport’s development plan.

Ending: The council adopted the resolution on a recorded 8–0 vote; the airport commission and parish administration will follow established procedures to finalize financing terms before any bonds are sold.","The council approved a resolution allowing the Houma–Terrebonne Airport Commission to issue up to $6 million in revenue bonds to fund airport improvements and asset purchases; the airport director told the council the funds will support workforce training and unmanned aircraft systems work.","actionData","errors"]
