District 2 Councilman Craig Prosper will host the second of a series of town hall meetings in St. Martinville with mayor Melinda Mitchell at Magnolia Park on March 13.

St. Martinville city leaders will hold the second in a series of town hall meetings in March.

The town halls are planned for each of the city’s five council districts.

On March 13, Mayor Melinda Mitchell and District 2 Councilman Craig Prosper will host the gathering at the Magnolia Park Recreation Center. 

The first meeting, held on Jan. 29, featured District 1 Councilman Mike Fuselier and focused on the needs of that district.

Mitchell said the meetings were a way to get more input from voters on the city’s governance, especially since several of the council’s regular meetings have overflowed the city hall meeting chamber, making it difficult for everyone in attendance to participate. Mitchell said at the first town hall meeting that she envisions holding a town hall for each district monthly in rotation, then starting the cycle over again so each district will have two town hall meetings a year.
