The police jury will also have about $3.5 million more to spend on road repairs after it approved the re-allocation of some ARPA funds as the Public Road Committee recommended.
The committee had decided at its Oct. 5 meeting to recommend the movement of $3,487,500 toward roads. The money had previously been intended for the parish water districts.
In other business, the police jury approved a request from the Lynch family to abandon a road right-of-way on property in Pecan Island. The parish had been given road right-of-way in case a road needed to be built to give people access to their property through the property owned by the Lynch family. Still, those properties have other road access so a road was never built on the levee where the right-of-way was granted, Mary Lynch Courville told the police jury.
Courville said her mother had given the parish the right-of-way in 1978, but no road was needed in the 44 years since, so the family asked if the right-of-way could be abandoned. After a few questions from police jurors, the police jury voted to authorize Moresi to prepare an act of abandonment in connection with the right-of-way.
“When she bought Acadiana Marina, my mother was a peacemaker, and she always felt she wanted to make sure everyone had an extra right-of-way in case there was a need,” Courville said. “It’s just a levee road. It’s in Pecan Island near Acadiana Marina, and we were doing an abstract on the property, and we had no clue that it was never abandoned. So we’re asking you that you abandon this because all of the people beyond us have a right-of-way through us on the front side of our property, as well as they have their right-of-way, the Broussards do, which is through a right-of-way that’s off of Freshwater City Road.”
Courville thanked Moresi for his work in meeting with the family over the matter and thanked police jury executive secretary Amber Harrington for the great help she provided in guiding the family through what it needed to do to move the process along.
“Before I leave, I want to tell you all Vermilion Parish has been phenomenal,” Courville said. “We’re originally from Vermilion, but y’all help us so much when we come to this courthouse. I can’t brag enough about you all because I now live in Lafayette, and I can’t brag about them as I brag about you guys. Thank you very much.”
