The government's number for this: Ordinance Calendar No. 8053
What is happening?
Ordinance to address public comments, improve code administration, make minor changes and corrections, and clarify the St. Tammany Parish city rule book to change…. It was on the council agenda for Thursday 5 February 2026. It covers the whole parish. Put forward by Councilmember Tanner and Parish President Cooper. How the council voted is not published as data, so the tracker does not say. The minutes and the video for that meeting are linked from the meeting record.
Where is it happening?
No location was published for this one, so it is not on the map.
Why does it matter to me?
An ordinance is a city law. Once it passes it applies to everyone in the city until the council changes it again.
What could change?
If the council passes it, it becomes city law and applies across the city. If not, the rules stay as they are.
When will a decision or vote happen?
It was set for Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 6:00 pm. That date has passed.
What was the final decision?
It was on the agenda for a meeting that has already happened. The parish does not publish the outcome for these, so the tracker does not claim one.
Can I speak about it?
The record does not say where this gets heard, so we cannot tell you where to speak about it.
