Also present were Mr. Charlie Solar, Jr., Chief Administrative Officer and Mr. Paul Landry, City Attorney.

In the matter of the Positive Image award, Mayor Dragna said that Assistant Fire Chief Kristopher Price had received up to $500,000 of Capital Outlay funding to rehab one of the fire trucks. He had solicited the money on his own, and Mayor Dragna thanked him for that. He said that Police Chief Chad Adams had received $200,000 for equipment, and Marshall Teddy Liner received about $60,000. He said that these people worked together to solicit this funding and thanked them for their efforts.
Mr. Matt Dragna and Mr. Bryce Merrill with the Heroes Way Commission addressed the Council regarding the installation of street signs at various sites around the city. Mr. Dragna said that the committee had selected the first ten inductees for the street signs. The signs would be unveiled on July 6, to coincide with the United States 250th Anniversary, and before Labor Day weekend, so that people coming into town could see the honor we have for our veterans. The signs would be about thirty inches long and six to seven inches in height and placed on a black post with a ball at the top. Mr. Domangue asked if the signs had been finalized or if a QR code could be placed on the sign. Mr. Dragna said that they had spoken to Mrs. Greig Chauvin, and the information was going to be placed on the Morgan City app. Two to five new inductees would be unveiled every Veterans Day. Mayor Dragna said it was amazing to see how many heroes we had in our area. Mr. Dragna said Mr. Terry Mayon and Mr. Bryce Merril had been instrumental in researching the veterans, some even going back to the Civil War. Mr. Hymel asked if the locations had been finalized. Mr. Dragna said that if possible, some signs would be placed in areas of the City where the Veterans had lived or worked. Mrs. Leonard asked if the families had been notified. Mr. Dragna said that he had notified the ten families, but wanted to keep the other nominees a secret. He said all donations should be sent to the City, with “Heroes Way Commission” written on the check. A motion to approve the sign installations was made by Mr. Hutchinson, seconded by Mr. Domanague, and voted unanimously in favor.
Mrs. Allie Hudson with Ochsner St. Mary submitted a request for the use of Lawrence Park on October 24, 2026, for the Roux Rumble Cookoff (copy on file). Mrs. Hudson said this would be the third year, all proceeds went to the Alzheimer’s Association, and the teams would come from all Ochsner campuses. There would also be sign-ups for local teams to participate as well. There would also be a walk, a t-shirt sale, a silent auction, sponsorship options, and, with $10 admission, a ticket to vote for the people’s choice award. She said there were fourteen teams in 2025, and they had raised over $40,000. She wanted to beat that number this year. A motion to allow use of the park for the Roux Rumble was made by Pastor Bias, seconded by Mr. Domangue, and voted unanimously in favor.
Ms. Julana Senette and Mr. Bryce Merrill with the Gathright House addressed the council regarding the installation of a monument recognizing the 1927 flood. They suggested that it be placed to the right of the current Chamber office on Myrtle Street. It would be the same size as a typical light pole. A motion to allow the monument to be placed was made by Mr. Domangue, seconded by Mrs. Leonard, and vot-ed unanimously in favor.
Mr. Patrick Haller with the Morgan City Firefighters Association requested a permit to allow the Fill the Boot event on September 4, 2026, from 4 PM to 6 PM at the intersection of Highway 90 and Highway 182 to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He said all insurance was in place, and the MDA had partnered with the firefighter’s association for the past 72 years. A motion to allow the Fill the Boot event was made by Mr. Hy- mel, seconded by Pastor Bias, and voted unanimously in favor.
Mr. Jose’ Ponce, owner of the Eleventh Street me- chanic shop, was asked to attend the council meeting to allow the council to explain to him the rules the City had in place. Mr. Jimmie Knight said cars were being worked on in the street and a spill had occurred. Professionals were called out to clean up the mess, but Mayor Dragna stressed the importance of Mr. Ponce working on vehicles inside his shop only. Mr. Ponce, through an interpreter, agreed that he would no longer work on vehicles in the street, and only inside his building.
Pastor Bias said that the Blue Devil Park had been dedicated on June 6, and thanked all who attended. He said the 7th annual Juneteenth walk was held on June 20 and had over 200 participants. He thanked everyone that helped make it a success.
In the matter of the Mayor’s Up- date, Mayor Dragna said that there had been ongoing problems at the horse arena, and some administration of the contract was going to happen. He would up- date the Council as it progressed. Mr. Hutchinson asked who was responsible for keeping up the paddock. The Mayor said that whoever owned the stalls was re- sponsible for keeping up the paddock in front of their stalls. Mr. Hymel thanked Jimmie Knight for his help with the ongoing situation.

The first reading for the Recognition and Continuation of the Authority of the Ward 6 City Marshall ordinance was the next matter on the agenda. No definitive action was necessary.
The next matter on the agenda was the public hearing for rezoning 404 Oregon Street. Mayor Dragna said that the item was removed from the agenda.
The public hearing for the rezoning of 402 Fourth Street was opened. Ms. Deborah Price, 501 Railroad Avenue, apologized for not being at the Planning & Zoning meeting, and said she was not sure how she missed the signage for the meeting. She had nothing against the opening of a business; her concern was the zoning as “C” commercial. She said that in the future, if another business opened there, they could potentially open an auto re- pair shop, a storage yard, and many other things that she felt did not belong in that area. After the discussion, Mayor Dragna asked Mr. Governale if that area could be zoned under business and still allow the brewery to open. He said that it could be done under the zoning of “B-2”; he just originally felt the “C” zoning fit the manufacturing side of the business; whereupon,
This Ordinance introduced with first reading on May 26, 2026. Published by title on June 3, 2026.
Mr. Domangue offered the following Ordinance, who moved for its adoption.

Resolution
No. 11-26
A RESOLUTION establishing and launching the “ATCHAFALAYA GATEWAY TRAIL,” with the City of Morgan City and the Town of Berwick as founding partners, anchored by the historic Long–Allen Bridge crossing; inviting the other municipalities and communities of St. Mary Parish, the government of St. Mary Parish, and partner agencies to join; and providing for related matters.
WHEREAS, by Act No. 594 of the 2004 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, effective July 5, 2004, and codified at La. R.S. 49:170.13, the Legislature designated St. Mary Parish as the “Gateway to the Atchafalaya Basin”; and
WHEREAS, the City of Morgan City sits at the confluence of the Atchafalaya River, the Lower Atchafalaya River, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, standing as the last city before the river reaches the Gulf of Mexico and as a true gateway be- tween the Basin and the coast; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Berwick established the parish’s first dedicated recreational trail, which has been expanded over the years, remains in daily use, and has served as the model upon which neighboring communities have built; and
WHEREAS, the City of Morgan City developed its own multi-mile pedestrian and bicycle network with the support of more than $100,000 from the H&B Young Foundation toward city trail planning and engineering, the importance of a unified trail system was recognized in the 2018 Urban Land Institute Advisory Services Panel study, and the City was subsequently awarded a federal RAISE grant of $16.7 million to fund more than half of the system; and
WHEREAS, the historic Long–Allen Bridge (La. 182), completed in 1933 and connecting Morgan City and Berwick across Berwick Bay, provides a unique elevated pedestrian and bicycle crossing that unites the two communities and forms the first contiguous, cross-jurisdiction segment of a parish-wide trail; and
WHEREAS, the City of Morgan City and the Town of Berwick, together forming the eastern gateway to the Atchafalaya Basin, are prepared to launch a shared trail identity that neighboring communities and the parish may join, at their own pace and on their own terms; and
WHEREAS, naming this connected network the “Atchafalaya Gateway Trail” gives lasting physical and public expression to the Legislature’s designation of St. Mary Parish as the “Gateway to the Atchafalaya Basin,” and honors the river that has shaped the history, culture, and economy of this parish for generations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE- SOLVED as follows:

SECTION 3. Local Names Retained. The in- dividual trail segments within each jurisdiction shall retain any local names by which they are also known; the Atchafalaya Gateway Trail serves as a shared, unifying identity and does not replace or diminish any community’s own trail name.
SECTION 4. Branding, Signage, and Wayfinding. The adopting body endorses a consistent name, logo, signage, and wayfinding standard for the Atchafalaya Gateway Trail, and authorizes the appropriate officials to co- ordinate the placement of unified trail signage and interpretive markers as funding allows.
SECTION 5. Invitation to Join. The adopting body respectfully invites the Cities of Patterson and Franklin, the Town of Baldwin, the communities of Amelia, Bayou Vista, Charenton, Centerville, Siracusaville, and the other communities of the parish, the government of St. Mary Parish, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (as steward of the Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge trails), the St. Mary Parish Levee District, and the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana to join in connecting and co-branding their trails as part of the Atchafalaya Gateway Trail, each on its own terms and consistent with its own authority and identity.
SECTION 6. Coordination.

She notified the board that she and Jason have completed hand delivering letters explaining the increase in water rates and the new reconnect/disconnect policy. We are updating our grease trap and interceptor survey, so Logan and Jason will de- liver those to ap- plicable customers starting next week. She said they have continued their monthly routine maintenance.
Larry Fromenthal provided his maintenance re- port for the month. He has completed cut in valves at the corners of Southwest/Saturn Rd and Jupiter/Ar- lington St. Changing out of the meter at the Cameron Patterson yard has started. A leak across from Opperman Ln. has been repaired and filled with limestone. Along Hwy 182 the pump stations were lifted and enclosed previously but since then a drain has clogged by our Barousse Station. Larry opened it up, and is working alongside the Parish on resolving.
Tony Hensgens gave a joint water plant update; he stated they still have not heard about the grant money yet for the clarifier.
Chris reminded all board members that Sexual Harassment, Ethics and Cyber Security need to be completed.
Chris stated we have not heard anything back about Capital Outlay.
Raymond Beadle has resigned from the board. Chris thanked Raymond for his time serving the board.
Glen Duncan discussed options for grants that we could apply for besides Capital Outlay. He ex- plained that applications for grants are very competitive. Chris asked Glen to set up a planning call to discuss further op- tions for both water and sewer.
A previous member of our board, Mr. Dan McCloy has passed away and Chris and the board would like to send our condolences to his family.
David Hill mentioned that Miller Engineers has re- cently completed a water study and our system will be fine to support the new carwash being built in the area.
There being no further business to come before the board, a motion was made by Tony Hensgens to ad- journ with a second from Thomas Philbrook, all were in favor and motion passed.
