Crowley posts notice for May meeting to consider calling sales‑tax renewal election

During roll call and committee reports the mayor read a public notice compliant with Louisiana statute that the City of Crowley will meet in May 2026 at 5 p.m. and that the council will consider calling an election in November 2026 to renew a one‑half of one percent sales and use tax. The mayor and revenue & finance committee noted the item will return at a future meeting for a public hearing.

The transcript records two different dates for the proposed November election: once as 11/03/2026 and later as 11/02/2026. The council did not adopt an election call at this meeting; the notice states a public hearing will be held at the next meeting. Officials indicated the proceeds would be used to maintain wastewater disposal facilities, public parks and recreation, and youth recreation building maintenance and that proceeds could be funded into bonds and ad valorem tax considerations.

Because the transcript lists two different November dates, the council or city clerk should confirm the official election date in the public record and in any future public notices.
