Cameron Parish jury approves local permits, road closure for CP2 work and several contracts in voice votes

At its May meeting, the Cameron Parish Police Jury approved a slate of local permits and administrative actions by voice vote and recorded juror objections on several state-concern coastal-use permit readings.

Key approvals: the jury adopted the April 2026 meeting minutes and approved authority to advertise closing Pierce Road (3115 Gale Street) for about two years related to CP2 construction. Local-concern permits approved included Brian Weekley’s excavation (about 14,814 cubic yards for a private pond) and site-improvement permits for Mud Lane Company; motions were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.

The jury also ratified several administrative actions: granting the president authority to sign a master service agreement with K and M Project Services, approving a contract with K and M LLC for health unit elevation work, hiring Butler Snow LLP as special counsel for tax restructuring, and authorizing advertisement of a speed limit change on PR 44111 (Brewster Lane) from 25 mph to 15 mph.

Several items recorded no formal jury vote because they were designated state concern; the chair read coastal-use permit applications (including one for CP Marine Offloading LLC connected to the CP2 LNG terminal) for public comment only. Jurors noted objections to leaving flow lines and equipment in place on an inactive Hillcourt Energy well and raised groundwater and material-condition concerns for large fill operations. "I would like it known... I'm objecting to anything to be abandoned in place as far as flow lines and equipment," a juror said.

Failed or tabled items: a proposal to allocate funds to ICON for testing oil in the Marshall Street burn failed for lack of a second; a revision to the public-records request policy failed for lack of a second; another funding item was tabled. Financial statements were accepted and bills approved by voice vote.
