The Crowley City Council’s committees approved three construction-related actions and renewed three liquor licenses during their Jan. 13 meetings.
Utility Committee members voted to approve a partial payment estimate and final change order to Sphinx Construction Inc., for the 'renovate existing Duckweed Pond modular insulated cover' project, and also approved a resolution of termination and notice of termination for Sphinx Construction Inc. City engineer Jonas Harrington said the project had its final inspection Jan. 7 and that contractors had completed the punch list. 'The renovate existing Duckweed Pond modular insulated cover project has been completed,' Jonas said during committee discussion.
In Zoning/Annexation business, the council approved a partial payment estimate to COD Construction of Louisiana LLC for drainage improvements at the Lawrence Acres subdivision and VFW project. Jonas reported the partial payment amount due at this estimate as $253,235.38 and the committee approved the payment by voice vote.
The Public Safety Committee approved renewal applications for three 2026 beer and liquor permits — Sassy's Daiquiris (Class A retail beer and Class A retail liquor), Firehouse Cafe (Class A retail beer), and Abu Jasmine Inc./K & L Grocery (Class B package beer and Class B package liquor). Committee members discussed compliance checks and signage, and amended approvals to require payment of any applicable late fees; staff said the ordinance prescribes a 5% late fee for late permit renewals.
All motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote in committee. The council directed staff to complete compliance checks and to make permits available at City Hall following full council approval where required.
What’s next: Committee approvals send the items forward for the usual administrative follow-up; staff were asked to confirm that required paperwork and late fees are paid and to perform site checks where necessary.
