ST. LANDRY, LA — Meetings, for local St. Landry residents to voice their concerns regarding the proposed animal control ordinance, have been scheduled as follows:

Krotz Springs: Wednesday, August 10, 2022, at 6:00 PM, located at Gary Soileau Community Center (216 Park St, Krotz Springs, LA 70750).

Eunice: Thursday, August 11, 2022, at 6:00 PM, located at Eunice City Hall 2nd Floor Council Chambers (300 S. 2nd St, Eunice, LA 70535).

Sunset: Tuesday, August 16, 2022, at 6:00 PM, located at Sunset Community Center (108 Leo Richard Lane, Sunset, LA, 70584).

Palmetto: Thursday, August 18, 2022, at 6:00 PM, located at Palmetto Town Hall (224 E Railroad Ave, Palmetto, LA 71358).

An animal control ordinance was drafted by a committee (consisting of St. Landry animal enthusiasts). This ordinance has not been introduced to the council and is still up for revisions. St. Landry Parish Government is revising this with residents and animals in mind. 

The meeting, open to the public, will allow the public to address any concerns that St. Landry residents may have. Everyone is encouraged to attend and voice their concerns about the proposed ordinance. 

Parish President Jessie Bellard stated “I recommend everyone to read not only the new proposed ordinance but also the ordinance that is already in place. The new ordinance has not been proposed to the council and we want to receive the public’s opinion on this matter. Please reach out to my office at (337)-948-3688 or text my cell phone at (337)-351-1482.”
