Loud music on city council agenda for Tuesday


Loud music — and how loud is too loud — is on the agenda facing members of the Bogalusa City Council when they gather at 5:30 Tuesday afternoon in the Municipal Courtroom at City Hall.

Councilwoman Johni Miles Blount will introduce an ordinance to amend and re-enact Sect. 12-109 of the Bogalusa Code to provide relative to sound amplification systems, define violations and setting penalties.

A second ordinance, to be introduced by Council Vice President Michael O’Ree, will set the city’s millage rates as required by law.

Council will also hold a public hearing on an ordinance allowing Mayor Charles Mizell to sell property to the Louisiana DOTD at appraised value to allow for the construction of bridges over Lawrence, Bogue Lusa and Coburn Creeks on Louisiana Highway 10. The appraised value of the property is $3,063.

Council members will also hear from Sandy Bloom pertaining to Louisiana Development Ready Communities. Louisiana Development Ready Communities Program is one of Louisiana Economic Development’s strategies to strengthen the economic competitiveness of municipalities and Bogalusa was one of the communities selected for inclusion.

Council will also get an update on the humane society from Ann Pelmear and from Emma Dixon on historic preservation.

Persons wishing to address the council are reminded they must sign up in address and are limited to three minutes. The next council meeting will be Tuesday, July 5.
