Description

he Terrebonne Parish Council was first seated as the governing body of Terrebonne Parish on January 9, 1984, when the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government became effective. The fifteen-member Council replaced the fifteen-member Terrebonne Parish Police Jury and the five-member Houma Board of Aldermen. Each Council Member is elected from a district which divides the Parish into relatively equal areas of population. From its ranks, the Council elects a Chairman and Vice-Chairman and appoints the necessary staff.

Council meetings are normally held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, beginning at 6:00 PM. All meetings are open to the public and anyone may address the Council, provided that they complete a speaker card prior to the beginning of the meeting, or call or send a letter to the Council Office requesting to be placed on the agenda.

In response to a vote of the people in 1995, the Council was reduced from fifteen members to nine, with the first nine-member Council taking office in January of 1996. Committees-of-the-whole review many issues before they appear at the bi-monthly Council meetings.
