During the September 15th city council meeting, District B Councilman Francis Touchet announced his intention to resign from his seat effective September 30, 2024. Many are wondering what happens next in the process?
His official letter of resignation was submitted to the Secretary of State. The Commissions Division then sent an official notice for the governing authority, the City Council, to fill the vacancy within 20 days.
Notice has now been received, and the City Council will make an appointment at the next regular meeting, on October 15, 2024. This will ensure a swift transition in leadership for the community. The Mayor and Council are also expected to call for a special election in accordance with LSA R.S. 18:402 and 18:602, setting the election for March 29, 2025 (primary) and May 3, 2025 (general), with qualifying dates of January 29, 30, and 31, 2025.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the councilโs progress by attending city council meetings or viewing live streams on the city’s YouTube channel. In interim, any issues arising in district B are being handled by the mayor and council with assistance from the city team.
Here's Why Your Feedback Is So Important

Why is it being called "the plaza" when it is actually a portion of "a street"?
