RESOLUTION
Resolution amending and supplementing the May 8, 2024 Resolution to continue opposition to the filing of any coastal erosion/coastal permit, coastal zone management, or other similar lawsuits but to urge, request, and authorize the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District to accept the offers of any oil and gas companies requesting the settlement of coastal erosion/coastal permit, coastal zone management, or other similar claims which St. Mary Parish might have against them under the same or similar terms and conditions as such oil and gas companies have reached with other coastal parishes.
WHEREAS, it has been reported that State of Louisiana and several coastal parishes have settled its coastal erosion/coastal permit disputes with several large oil and gas companies; and
WHEREAS, additional coastal erosion, coastal permit, coastal management, and other similar settlements have been reached and others are nearing completion; and in the Cameron Parish coastal erosion/coastal permit litigation have apparently reached agreements to settle such litigation with other coastal parishes and are in the process of memorializing those settlements; and
WHEREAS, the St. Mary Parish Council previously adopted the May 8, 2024, Resolution expressing its opposition to “any lawsuits” filed by Governor John Bell Edwards, Attorney General Jeff Landry, and the 16th Judicial District Attorney against oil and gas companies for, or on behalf of St. Mary Parish re- garding coastal erosion/coastal permits; and
WHEREAS, the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District has not filed any lawsuit(s) against oil and gas companies for, or on behalf of St. Mary Parish regarding coastal erosion/coastal permits, but as a prudent advisor of St. Mary Parish Government has, whenever possible, continued to monitor any such lawsuits filed by other parishes; and
WHEREAS, despite having not filed any coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar lawsuits against oil and gas companies, the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District has been approached by the State of Louisiana and oil and seeking to settle any coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar claims against said companies in the same or similar manner as the settlements with other parishes; and
WHEREAS, the failure of St. Mary Parish to accept any such offer to settle any such coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar lawsuits being made by or on behalf of any various oil and gas companies will not prevent such companies from settling those claims with the State of Louisiana resulting in St. Mary Parish being un- able to depend up- on or direct the settlement proceeds to coastal restoration projects in St. Mary Parish.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the St. Mary Parish Council does hereby amend and supplement the May 8, 2024, Resolution relating to erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar lawsuits.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLV-ED that the St. Mary Parish Council urges, requests, and authorizes the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District to ac- cept the current offers of any oil and gas companies requesting the settlement of coastal erosion/coastal permit, Coastal Zone Management, or other similar claims which St. Mary Parish Government might have against them under the same or similar terms and conditions as such oil and gas companies have reached with the other coastal parishes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLV-ED that the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District shall be authorized under this resolution to enter into any settlements on behalf of St. Mary Parish Government consistent with this resolution until such a time that the St. Mary Parish Council re- vokes said authorization.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLV-ED that the District Attorney for the 16th Judicial District shall provide written notice to the St. Mary Parish President and St. Mary Parish Council of his intent to enter into any future settlement at least 10 days prior to executing a settlement offer on behalf of St. Mary Parish Government.
ADOPTED AND APPROV-ED by the St. Mary Parish Council in regular session convened on this the 24th day of June 2026.
