At its Feb. 23 workshop, City of Griffin commissioners discussed the cityâs solar energy ordinance, since the city has been contacted by several companies interested in solar farms and solar panels for residences and businesses, but the cityâs Unified Development Code and Code of Ordinances are both silent on the subject.
âThere currently are not any codes to address these requests,â the workshopâs agenda states.
Planning and Development Director Chad Jacobs said his department looked at ordinances throughout the state and settled on Putnam Countyâs code as a good starting point.
Jacobs said the cityâs planning and development staff has added items important to Griffin, especially to the new airport.
Three names topped the list of appointments at Tuesday’s Lafayette city and parish council meetings as a new administrative judge was sworn in and two people were appointed to Lafayette’s new Protect the City Committee.
Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory announced the appointment of a new administrative judge at Tuesday’s meeting, appointing former Democratic 15th Judicial District Judge Candidate Travis Broussard to lead Lafayette Consolidated Government’s new Administrative Adjudication Bureau.
Broussard, who is a partner at Durio, McGoffin, Stagg and Ackerman in Lafayette and helped defend the effort to split Lafayette’s former City-Parish Council into two councils in court in 2019, said he wants the bureau to be a more efficient way for LCG to handle municipal code violations than going through the Lafayette City Court or the 15th Judicial District Court.
