PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF
RECREATION DISTRICT NO. 1
August 12, 2025
6:00 P.M.
Amelia, Louisiana
The Board of Commissioners of Recreation District No. 1, State of Louisiana, met on this date at 6:00 p.m. at the Amelia Recreation Center, 2109 Duhon Blvd., Amelia, Louisiana.
The Board of Commissioners in attendance were Andrew Gros, Jr., Cheryl Dugas, Denise Chaisson, Russel Blanchard, and Tyrone L. Richardson. Also in attendance was Michael Beadle, Gwendolyn L. Hidalgo, Dr. Kristi Prejeant-Rink, Patrick Hebert, and Craig Matthews.
Mr. Gros opened the meeting with the pledge of allegiance and an invocation by Mrs. Chaisson.
Mr. Beadle deci-ded to hold this meeting as public and not as an executive session, as was his right.
Due to this special meeting, C.E. Bourg, Mr. Beadle’s lawyer, in- formed all parties that they would have to swear under oath if they were testifying on the behalf of the character, professional competence, physical, and/or mental health of Michael Beadle.
Mr. Matthews informed the board of commissioners that before the public guests make their comments, each guest would only be allowed a certain amount of time to make their comments. Mrs. Chaisson made a motion to set a time limit of five (5) minutes per guest, seconded by Mr. Richardson, motion carried. Mr. Gros, Jr., in- formed the board that the secretary, Jasmine Bartholomew, would be the timekeeper.
Guest and former board member of Recreation District No. 1, Janice Aucoin, testified on behalf of Michael Beadle, stating that his character as al- ways been of the utmost importance.
Guest, Joshua Brown, testified on behalf of Michael Beadle. With paper evidence, he in- formed the board that on May 21, 2025, the board of commissioners held a meeting to vote on the purchasing of the time clocks. He stated that he listened to the recording and noticed that the vote did not count due to it not having a second motion. Due to the vote being voided, Mr. Brown explain-ed that Mr. Beadle should not be held accountable for not having the time clocks.
Mr. Brown continued to explain that on July 16, 2025, there was another meeting held that discussed purchasing dirt to place on one of the baseball fields. He stated that the board did vote on the dirt, but there was another issue about the removal of a fence on one of the baseball fields that was not voted on.
Mr. Beadle commented that since the start of the new board of commissioners, his staff and himself have been haras-sed by Mr. Gros, Jr., which led to Mr. Beadle making a harassment re- port to the parish council many times.
Mr. Gros, Jr., discussed the issue about the removal of the fence stating that if the dump truck of dirt was to back into the spacing of the gated area, it could shift the newly placed poles. Therefore, Mr. Gros, Jr., deci-ded to have the fence removed to prevent any damages.
Guest, Bridget Mabile, testified that around the start of Mr. Beadle’s time as the Recreation District No. 1’s manager, she was involved with the recreation as a coach. She continued to ex- plain that he did not provide a healthy environment as far as leadership is concerned.
She also commented that there was a weekend that a youth soccer game was taken place at the Amelia Recreation Center, and as it was getting dark, no staff member was on the property to turn on and off the lights at the field. She thanked Mr. Richardson for crawling under the fence and turning on the lights for the children and their families.
Mr. Matthews questioned the board of commissioners whether there was a set schedule during the weekends while activities were being held on the facilities. Mr. Gros, Jr., informed Mr. Matthews that as a board, they properly voted to have someone working after hours.
Mr. Blanchard stated that once he was in the board member position, he walked around the facilities to see what needed to be repaired and made a list. He explained that during the past few meetings, he asked Mr. Beadle for an update about the items on the list of repairs. He continued that the list of repairs was not fully completed.
Mr. Matthews discussed having a conversation with Mr. Beadle weeks before this meeting (August 12, 2025). He stated that Mr. Beadle was interested in speaking with Mr. Gros, Jr., about making some changes with the recreation center but wanted Mr. Matthews to be the mediator. Mr. Matthews agreed, but the meeting did not happen.
Mr. Gros, Jr., stated that he called the recreation center to speak with Mr. Beadle about having the mediated conversation only to be told by the recreation center’s secretary that Mr. Beadle refused to speak with him.
Mr. Beadle commented that he did not want to speak with Mr. Gros, Jr., on that date due to the constant har- assment he re- ceived.
Mr. Matthews discussed reviewing a proposed contract between the Amelia recreation center and CCHS. He explained to Mr. Gros, Jr., that the proposed contract was not a real contract. Mr. Matthews continued that he had the resources to help the board of commissioners construct a proper contract.
Guest and former PE coach at J.S. Aucoin Elementary School, Scott Babin, testified on behalf of Mr. Beadle, stating that Mr. Beadle has been an outstanding citizen of the community and volunteered on numerous occasions at the elementary school and surrounding areas.
Guest, Brandon Jones, testified on that he understood the need to get things repaired and done in a timely manner. He ex- plained that everything that was discussed throughout this meeting should not fall directly on Mr. Beadle because “he is only one person.” He continued to explain that in the past, there were many activities and social programs held at the Amelia Recreation Center. He commented that he would like to see great things happen for this community.
Guest, Andy Gros, stated that he is speaking on behalf of the people of Amelia due to his love for the community. He continued that he used to train at the Amelia Recreation Center and knew Mr. Beadle well throughout the years. Mr. Gros testified that Mr. Breadle is not the right person to be working with the community and around children. He explained that Mr. Beadle introduced Mr. Gros to steroids and continued to say that bad things will happen if action is not taken.
New Business
Mr. Blanchard made a motion to remove Mr. Beadle as the St. Mary Recreation District No. 1 supervisor; however, no one seconded it right away. Dr. Prejeant- Rink informed Mr. Gros, Jr., that he, as chairperson, is allowed to second a motion but cannot make a motion. Therefore, Mr. Gros, Jr., seconded the motion.
Mr. Gros, Jr., voted “yes” to remove Mr. Beadle.
Mrs. Dugas vot-ed “no” to remove Mr. Beadle.
Mr. Blanchard voted “yes” to re- move Mr. Beadle.
Mrs. Chaisson voted “abstain” to remove Mr. Beadle.
Mr. Richardson voted “yes” to re- move Mr. Beadle.
The votes came out to three (3) yeses, one (1) no, and one (1) ab- stain.
The meeting was adjourned by Mrs. Chaisson.
