Police Jury authorizes check-signing and appoints Lillian Garcia as parish treasurer

The DeSoto Parish Police Jury adopted two administrative resolutions during its session. The first, Resolution No. 1 of 2026, authorizes the president, vice president and parish treasurer to sign written checks (two signatures required). The jury discussed whether the president and vice president signatures would be required together or whether any two of the three could sign; the chair clarified two signatures are required and the motion passed.

The jury also adopted Resolution No. 2 of 2026 appointing Lillian Garcia as parish treasurer for a two-year term. The motion to appoint Garcia was moved and seconded and carried by roll call.

The resolutions were adopted without substantive debate and will take effect per parish procedures. Neither the transcript nor the motions specified additional duties or compensation changes tied to the appointment.
