The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers budgeted $50 million to spot dredge the Vermilion River, Congressman Clay Higgins (R-Lafayette) announced Friday.
Higgins announcement comes on the heels of an emergency approval of $5 million by Lafayette s City Council for spot dredging along the river following intense rain in Lafayette last week that prompted isolated flooding.
The May 17 storm dumped more than 6 inches of rain on Lafayette in the span of just a few hours, pushing the Vermilion River to its highest levels since the 2016 floods. We ve worked with the Corps to prioritize federal investments for spot dredging. Deepening the river at key points will provide greater water retention capacity for the region and help mitigate flood threats, Higgins said in a statement Friday. This funding, if fully realized in the Corps’ Work Plan, would be a major win.
On Tuesday, the Lafayette City and Parish council will introduce an ordinance removing the requirement that at least one Lafayette City Council appointment to the Lafayette Airport Commission be African American.
Lamorinda Weekly is a weekly community newspaper for Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda in California USA. 26,600 printed copies delivered to 23,000 houses or 65,000 people.
LCG made that request in a memorandum filed in 15th Judicial District Court last month.
The memo says in May 1980, then-UDC chairwoman Betty Dugal admitted in group meeting minutes that her group knew it had no legal standing to challenge the city’s decision to move the Mouton Statue from the old city hall at the intersection of Lee Avenue and Jefferson Street to the current city hall at the corner of West University Avenue and St. Landry Street. According to those minutes, the group admitted to seeking a 10-day injunction to stop the move. That 10-day time frame covered the end of Mayor Kenny Bowen’s term in office and the start of Mayor Dud Lastrapes’s term.
