Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Bossier City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Community event fee waivers
The parade permit fee was waived for the East Bank Beer & Bubbles event happening Saturday, April 18.
Plant a Seed In Our Youth Foundation partnership
A nonprofit will use city park facilities at Mitchell Park to run free or reduced-cost youth programs — at no cost to the city.
Meadowview Park Splash Pad
The city nearly closed the long-running pool but instead struck a one-year deal with Rock Solid Athletic Club, which runs Shreveport's pools, to operate it this summer with a citywide swim-lesson program. It's a pilot to see if the pool can stay open without draining city resources.
Red River FC Soccer Partnership
The city would let the Red River FC pro soccer team practice at the city's soccer complex, gaining free youth clinics, BPAR nights at games, and hopes of booking tournaments that bring out-of-town dollars.
Bossier Arts Council termination and displacement
The city moved to terminate its cooperative endeavor agreement with the Bossier Arts Council over three years of missed audits and IRS noncompliance. Supporters packed the chamber; the council froze payments and gave the group two weeks to show progress with the legislative auditor.
