Attachment: Ordinance No. 3127
The City of Thibodaux has four propositions on the ballot
for the November 13, 2021 election for voter consideration. There are two Ad
Valorem Tax Millage renewals on the ballot, a 2.74 mill renewal for Streets,
and a 1.83 mill renewal for the Thibodaux Volunteer Fire Department. Both
renewals are for a ten-year period from 2023 through 2032. There are also two
propositions on the ballot for changes to Thibodaux’s Home Rule Charter.
Proposition No. 1 would allow for a change in date that a new Administration
would take office after the election. The change would allow newly elected
officials to take office the second Monday in January in order to have time to
receive certified results from a run-off election that would be conducted in
December prior to the official being sworn in. Proposition No. 2 would change
two of the nominating authorities for the Thibodaux Civil Service Board.
Currently, the nominations for this Board are received from the President of
Nicholls State University, the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce, the Lafourche
Parish Bar Association, the President of Tulane University, and the President
of Southern University. In order to have more local voices in who serves on the
Civil Service Board, the proposed Charter change would include the
Superintendent of the Lafourche Parish School District, and the Chancellor of
Fletcher Community College as nominating authorities in place of Tulane and
Southern Universities. You can view the language of Propositions 1 and 2 by
reviewing Ordinance No. 3127 on the City Council section of the City’s website
under Public Notices, or by clicking the link below. The City of Thibodaux
encourages everyone to go out and vote on Saturday, November 13, 2021, on these
important propositions.
