Yesterday, the St. Charles Parish Council held a meeting in Hahnville at 15045 River Road, where members of the public attended to discuss local issues. One item for public comment was a funding proposal to support emergency services across nine volunteer fire departments,as per the St. Charles Parish release.
The council proposed a cooperative agreement with the St. Charles Fireman’s Association, Inc., allocating up to $200,000 from the Louisiana State-Local Government Opioid Litigation settlement to purchase Lifeline ARM Chest Compression Systems and LIFEPAK 1000 AEDs for volunteer fire personnel.
The council also reviewed infrastructure and cost-related items. Huseman & Associates, LLC was contracted for engineering services to handle electrical replacement at the SCP Courthouse, with a budget not to exceed $79,855. A change order for the Sunset Screen Cleaner project proposed reducing the contract by $192,662.65 and shortening the timeline by 129 days. The meeting was available to the public via live web stream, Cox Cable Channel 6, AT&T U-Verse Channel 99, SCP-TV, and Facebook Live.
