Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory has called for an administrative reorganization of three Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) Departments with the goal of serving Lafayetteâs citizens effectively.
The administration says they have identified the best alignment for the Community Development, Parks and Recreation, and Development and Planning Departments.
Guillory said, These changes will strengthen synergies and create more internal efficiency, while providing better products and services for Lafayette Parish citizens.
Parks and Recreation is now the Parks, Art, Recreation, and Culture (PARC) Department.
They say their mission is to align arts and culture with parks and recreation. The Heymann Performing Arts Center, Lafayette Science Museum, Acadiana Park Nature Station, and Senior Centers now fall under the PARC department, they say.

LAFAYETTE, La. â A local community organization has released a statement condemning the recent proposal made by a member of the Library Board of Control on Monday to change the library s mission statement and some of the services it currently offers.
Supporters of Lafayette Public Libraries, which describes itself as a local grassroots, citizen-led community organization, say that they believe that the proposal is counterproductive, divisive, and a waste of time for the Board of Control to focus on a topic whose only possible outcome is discrimination and the denial of essential services to this community.
