Three names topped the list of appointments at Tuesday’s Lafayette city and parish council meetings as a new administrative judge was sworn in and two people were appointed to Lafayette’s new Protect the City Committee.
Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory announced the appointment of a new administrative judge at Tuesday’s meeting, appointing former Democratic 15th Judicial District Judge Candidate Travis Broussard to lead Lafayette Consolidated Government’s new Administrative Adjudication Bureau.
Broussard, who is a partner at Durio, McGoffin, Stagg and Ackerman in Lafayette and helped defend the effort to split Lafayette’s former City-Parish Council into two councils in court in 2019, said he wants the bureau to be a more efficient way for LCG to handle municipal code violations than going through the Lafayette City Court or the 15th Judicial District Court.
