ST. MARTINVILLE — The St. Martinville City Council will be discussing the administration’s 2021-2022 capital outlay priority list at its meeting Monday night as well as the proposed budget for the city’s use of American Rescue Plan Act funds.

In a related move, the council will consider granting CAO Avis Gutekunst corporate authorization to open an accounts payable checking account at Community First Bank.

St. Martinville Police Chief Ricky Martin is slated to discuss the appointment of Deputy Chief Cody Laperouse to clarify his job duties and position.

At its regular meeting Monday night, the St. Martinville City Council is also scheduled to:
