Gonzales Weekly Citizen
A crowd of citizens attended the July 12 meeting of the East Ascension Drainage Board, many making their feelings known about the actions approved during the previous meeting.
Initially, Chair Dempsey Lambert announced that the meeting would be rescheduled due to a lack of quorum. Ascension Parish President Clint Cointment and Lambert briefly huddled to discuss the possibility of holding the meeting.
It was decided that the meeting would carry on, though the members would not be able to vote on any matters.
Lambert noted the absence of Travis Turner, Chase Melancon, Joel Robert, Corey Orgeron, and Teri Casso. In attendance were Lambert, Aaron Lawler, Dal Waguespack, John Cagnolatti, and Michael Mason. District 1 s Alvin Coach Thomas, who represents the parish s westbank, is not a member of the board.
