The Allen Parish Police Jury met via Zoom due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases.
During the short meeting the APPJ took care of several agenda items including several resignations and added an item to declare the Arizona Chemical Plant property to be surplus.
The property being declared surplus does not mean the jury has to sell it. This move simply allows the jury to negotiate with any interested parties.
The jury accepted the resignation of Ray Rush from the Water Works District No. One and appointed Bill Randolph to complete his term.
The jury accepted the resignation of Nancy Burleigh form the Allen Parish Hospital District Board. No appointment was made to replace her at this time.
The jury also accepted the resignation of Ruffin George III and Rhonda Beard from the Recreation District No. One Board and appointed Steven Richard and Greg Strother to finish the term.
The jury accepted the resignation of Jeremy Walker and Jeff Doucet from the Recreation District Two Board and appointed Ronald January and Kenneth Kingrey to finish the term.
