IPC to deal with loan from AFC

Published 6:00 am Wednesday, December 27, 2017

A resolution making various accounting adjustments to the Acadiana Fairgrounds Commission by removing loan receivables to Iberia Parish Government will be voted on at tonight’s Iberia Parish Council meeting. 

The agenda item was tabled at the last Parish Council meeting when the wording of the resolution was disputed by some council members. 

Instead of forgiving the loans from the AFC to the IPC, the resolution now reads that $1.8 from the AFC budget, $1.7 million from the General Fund budget and $52,753 from the Royalty Fund budget will be removed to properly reflect receivables in the Parish Council budget. 

The council also will vote to make various appointments. A vote to reappoint Jody Suire and Benny Menard to the Iberia Economic Development Authority is on the agenda, as well as a vote to reappoint Carol Bodin to the Iberia Veterans Memorial Board. 

In other business, a resolution requesting the administration to schedule and conduct energy audits on the main courthouse, Iberia Parish Jail, and new Public Works buildings will be voted on so the parish can participate in the Cleco Commercial and Industrial Solutions Program to offset energy costs in the future. 

Another resolution amending the 2017 Public Buildings Maintenance Fund Budget in the amount of $27,000 for the purchase of a rodeo chute gate and cattle roping gate for use at the SugArena, all to be funded from the Fund Balance, also will be up for a vote. 

Several year-end adjustments are also on the agenda. 

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. this evening at the Iberia Parish Courthouse.
