Lafayette’s new seven-member Protect the City Committee will meet for the first time on March 16 to start the process of producing a report on Lafayette’s consolidated local government.
City Councilman Pat Lewis, who led the charge to create the committee at the start of this year, confirmed the details of its first meeting, saying he plans to make a presentation for the committee’s seven members, most of whom already have experience with Lafayette Consolidated Government, during the March 16 meeting, which is planned for 11 a.m. in City Hall at 705 W. University Ave.
The committee will also elect a chair and vice chair, Lewis said, and he is planning a question and answer session for the committee members to better understand their tasks during the first meeting as well.
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.
