Council approves multiple surplus-property sales, accepts completed public-works project

The Terrebonne Parish Council approved resolutions awarding multiple rebid surplus sales and accepted a completed parish public-works project during its session.

Property sales: The council awarded bid 25SP-36 for 106 Oak Forest to Nolan LaBeouf, 25SP-38 for 409 Paris Lane to Giles Mason, 25SP-37 for 202 Santa Monica to Renika Mulligan, and 25SP-40 for 193 Peachtree Street to Giles Mason. Motions to award each sale were moved and seconded; the clerk announced nine yeas for each award.

During discussion about 409 Paris Lane, Councilmember Chauvin asked whether purchasers would be notified if a property was on the nuisance or condemnation list. A staff member replied that buyers would be contacted prior to closing and the office would double-check violation status.

Project acceptance: The council also approved a resolution accepting work performed by Bridal Incorporated under the certificate of substantial completion for parish project number 22-ELT24115KV (transition line improvements). The motion to accept the work was moved and seconded and recorded as passing with nine yeas.

Why it matters: These actions transfer adjudicated parcels to private buyers and finalize parish acceptance of a capital project, moving both property and project responsibilities out of the parish adjudication/project closeout stages. The buyer-notification clarification signals staff will check condemnation/violation status before closings.

Next steps: Staff will contact buyers as part of the closing process to confirm property status; project closeout paperwork will be completed per departmental procedures. Specific closing dates and project warranty details were not provided in the meeting record.
