Neil Melancon offered changes to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget on account # 452 city court be increased by 2.06%. Mayor Calais suggested that, instead of using City General Funds, he thought it reasonable to request that City Court fund the raise of their department’s employees.  He based this on the fact that they have their own checking account, which has accumulated over $250,000 that can only be used for the operations of City Court and asking them to use this account to fund roughly $3,000 for a 2% did not seem unreasonable. Alderman Melancon requested that it come out of the City’s General Fund, arguing that City Court could incur expenses throughout the year that would require them to use this fund. Mayor Calais stated it was set up for operations of city court, and their salaries are part of their operating expenses. Alderman Melancon requested the City establish whether or not City Court should be funded out of the City’s General Funds or out of their account. Mr. J. L. Sonnier suggested that it is practical to assess this situation on a year-to-year basis and determine where the money should come from each year. Alderman Breaux agreed with Mr. Sonnier and stated that if, in fact, they use their funds throughout this next fiscal year, the Board could determine their next raise come from the City’s General Fund.  Being that they do currently have the funds, Alderman Breaux suggested that the City request City Court to pay for the 2.06% raise for their employees. Alderman Melancon asked on #461 Live Streaming of Council Meeting $20,000.00 in Fiscal Year 2024-2025 be moved to Fiscal Year 2025-2026. In general fund the I-10 gateway signage for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 be moved to Fiscal Year 2025-2026. In General Fund account # 536 the I-10 signage put into Gloria Drive Drainage Project $100,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 be moved to Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Alderman Melancon inquired to Mayor Calais as to why the estimates for the Utility revenues were lower than the original budget. Mayor Calais explained it was overestimated. Alderman Menard requested that the council pay be increased by $200/month per alderman. Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Scotty Borel and unanimously carried, there being no further input the hearing was closed. Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Scotty Borel, and unanimously carried the following Ordinance #2312 was adopted with changes. ORDINANCE 2312 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF BREAUX BRIDGE, LOUISIANA THAT THE MUNICIPAL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2026 BE ADOPTED ACCORDING TO THE TERMS AND FIGURES CONTAINED IN THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT IDENTIFIED AS “EXHIBIT A”.
