Their tasks include developing a parish master plan, raising funds, and applying for grants to finance the project. The committee raised the funds and conducted interviews to find a firm that will guide them in completing a plan for our parish. The committee scheduled a meeting for Friday, February 24, 2011 to give our public officials and parish citizens a chance to meet the top four firms and to voice their opinion concerning which firm gets the job. Once the committee makes the final selection, they will hold public hearings throughout the parish to get citizen input into the development of this plan. The East Feliciana Parish Master Plan board encourages everyone to participate in these meetings.

Mayor Bourgeois received information from our town attorney and from the attorney general stating that it is not legal to give private use of public land to any individual. Alderman St.Germain motioned, Alderman Schwartz seconded it to table employee vacation policies until the next town meeting.
