Calcasieu panel approves $65,000 Ward 1 gaming grant for playground scoreboards

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury approved a $65,000 allocation from Ward 1 gaming funds to assist Community Center and Playground District No. 4 with the purchase and installation of playability enhancements and scoreboards for baseball and softball fields. An item description on the agenda specified the amount and the intended uses.

The motion to approve the grant was recorded as made by President Barras and seconded by Mister Stelling; the presiding official asked whether there were any objections and then stated, “That motion carries.” The proceedings did not include a roll-call tally on the record.

The agenda item was presented briefly at the start of the meeting and was placed before the committee for approval as a routine allocation from gaming-revenue funds. There were no public comments recorded on this item during the meeting.
