The Lake Charles City Council held an abbreviated meeting on October 13, 2026, opening with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting primarily consisted of processing a large consent agenda, council member reports on constituent issues, and public testimony.
Bell and the pledge, please. Please bow your heads with me. Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity to serve our community. Please remind us tonight that behind every decision are real people, these are real families that are being affected, and give us uh strength and determination to make the correct decisions that recognize that. Give us wisdom to make good decisions and courage to do what's right even whenever it's difficult. We ask all these things in your son's name. I'm in the middle of the city. One nation under the justice for all. We need to do a roll call. Not a general. Um before we get started without objection, I'd like to um have an abbreviated meeting tonight if we could, because we have the city um L and G reception over at the Cal Marine Bank that is we're the host of that. Um so is there any objection to maybe just have and just read the agenda and then any emergency if there's any emergency items to add from the public? No, no, I'm in disagreement. I suppose you have it right. Okay, just city peace. All right. Um let's go ahead and um roll forward if um you could start reading our items, please.
