Jurors approve relocation of culvert near new park after request from Council on Aging

Mr. M. Rome of the Madison Voluntary Council on Aging told the Madison Parish Police Jury the culvert in the ditch adjacent to the new park across from the Council on Aging required relocation, and appealed to jurors to allow the Public Works Department to move it.

Following discussion, Mr. Jerry Hicks moved and Mr. Stanley Ogden seconded a motion granting the superintendent permission to relocate the culvert; the jury approved the motion unanimously on roll call.

The minutes record the authorization but do not specify the relocation’s cost, timeline, contractor, or funding source. The action authorizes parish Public Works to proceed under the superintendent’s direction; the superintendent was given authority to carry out the relocation as voted.
