Top issues during term (20)
FY2027 Budget Introduced
Roughly $500,000 is being shifted toward reserves over two years, with hundreds of thousands more redirected to resident grant programs.
Esperanza rezoning and parkway extension
Residents say a needed new pump station near Highway 3127 would cost nearly $11 million and isn't in the budget.
Residential setback and accessory-structure variances
The change could affect nearby property values and public costs for road upgrades, though the parish hasn’t spelled out the price tag.
RAD/Section 18 conversion progress
Lifting the 129 units to meet federal flood maps could be financially destructive to the conversion program.
Millage Renewals on November Ballot
The Council on Aging levy would actually drop from 1.48 to 1.25 mills; recreation stays at the current 2.68.
Des Allemands rezonings and former St. Gertrude church redevelopment
No direct parish cost; the changes could bring jobs and commercial activity to west-side Des Allemands.
Delinquent property maintenance liens shelved
Recovers parish cleanup costs from delinquent property owners rather than the general taxpayer.
Electronic public records fees repealed
Residents and requesters no longer pay per-copy electronic records fees.
Davis Pond diversion operations and Corps accountability
Costs are fully covered by CPRA funding and reimbursed federally.
Montz pump stations and drainage investments
$32 million combined investment in Montz drainage infrastructure.
Marie Keat Lane servitude dispute
Des Allemands boat launch groundbreaking
Project cost borne under the intergovernmental agreement terms.
Tropical Storm Arthur flooding and FEMA response
Could protect federal reimbursement dollars for overtime paid during future disasters.
Wing/Walmart drone delivery presentation
Flood insurance discounts via CRS Natural Floodplain Function credits
Each CRS grade improvement cuts residents' flood insurance base premiums by 5%.
St. Charles Parish Hospital growth and services
July operating income was just under $2 million, about $1 million favorable to budget, partly driven by infusion growth.
Love Our Waterways cleanup results
Volunteer labor and partner donations like Dow's kept cleanup costs down for the parish.
Professional Services Contracting and RFQ Practices
Affects how millions of dollars in engineering contracts are awarded.
Regulation of e-bikes, e-scooters and motorized cycles
Fines are capped low — $50 for helmet violations and $100 for other violations under state limits — so this is about safety, not revenue.
Sunset Drainage District flood elevation standard
Could save builders in Bayou Gauche and nearby areas significant fill and construction costs while keeping homes above sea level.
