On November 18th, the Livingston Parish council introduced the Drainage Impact Ordinance for a brief discussion. Many spoke against the ordinance including finance staff for the parish about the administrative needs when ordinances like impact fees are imposed. The Drainage Impact Fee Ordinance was moved to the Ordinance Committee for more review.
