At its Dec. 4, 2025 meeting the Livingston Parish Council approved the proposed 2026 budget, adopted a housekeeping ordinance clarifying bond redemption language, authorized hazard-mitigation generator purchases and a construction-management contract for the parish's $80 million Better Roads bond series, named an unnamed road and reappointed a fire district board member.

Mickey McMorris, the parish chief financial officer, explained changes in Ordinance 25-30 were technical: IRS rules require bond-proceeds spending within three years for certain issues and the parish has no bonds that exceed a 10-year limit, making mandatory redemption language inapplicable. The council adopted Ordinance 25-30 unanimously. The council also adopted Ordinance 25-27 to amend the 2025 budget and adopt the 2026 budget; the finance committee had recommended adoption after presentations by McMorris and Gail Housley.

The council authorized a resolution directing the parish president to enter a contract with Power Cross LLC to purchase two generators and an automatic transfer switch under Hazard Mitigation Grant project 4458-008-0008 for the DMV government building and a telecommunications tower; the motion passed unanimously. The council also authorized the parish president to enter a contract with GEC Incorporated for construction management services for the Better Roads 2025 bond series; staff said GEC was selected through the procurement process led by Heather Nimm and that the construction-management contract pertains to the $80,000,000 road bond. That resolution passed unanimously.

Other routine actions: the council named an unnamed road "Chapel Pine Drive" off LA Highway 442 for 9-1-1 purposes for property owner CTM Management Services LLC/Eric Cooper, and reappointed Robert Dugas to Fire Protection District No. 4. By consensus the council agreed to cancel the Dec. 18 scheduled meeting and resume in January. Several items were pulled from the agenda for later consideration.

Vote tallies recorded in the meeting: adoption of Ordinance 25-30 (6 yes, 3 absent); adoption of Ordinance 25-27 (6 yes, 3 absent); Power Cross contract (unanimous among present members); GEC contract (unanimous among present members); road naming and board reappointment (unanimous among present members).
