Hospital millage rates, housing plans, and employee pay study fill recent parish board agendas
St. Charles Parish boards spent late June setting the stage for decisions on property tax rates, public housing plans, and a parish employee pay overhaul, though meeting minutes and vote tallies have not yet been released. The agendas included a proposed combined 4.19 mills in hospital service district taxes, contract extensions for the Housing Authority’s executive director, and a market-study-driven pay plan revision.
Hospital Service District No. 1
On June 24, the Hospital Service District No. 1 board was scheduled to adopt two millage rates for 2026. The agenda listed a maintenance-and-operations rate of 2.13 mills and a bond rate of 2.06 mills. The board also planned to review and approve the draft audit for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025, and to hear reports on medical staff credentialing, patient experience quality, and financial performance statistics. No vote outcomes were immediately available because official minutes have not been published.
Housing Authority
The St. Charles Parish Housing Authority held a public hearing followed by a board meeting on June 23. The hearing gathered comments on the agency’s FY26 Annual Plan and its 2026–2030 Capital Fund Plan; speakers had a three-minute limit before the comments were accepted into the record. Later that day, the board’s regular meeting agenda included votes on those annual and capital-fund action plans, an extension of the Executive Director’s employment contract, an amendment to the personnel policy, and an update on the RAD/Section 18 conversion. No decisions have been released.
Civil Service Board
The parish Civil Service Board convened June 30 with a proposal to update the employee pay plan based on a market study as the primary item. The board also planned to review personnel activity reports and above-entry-rate offers and to approve the minutes of its April 28 meeting. As with the other June meetings, final actions are pending publication of minutes.
Coming up
The St. Charles Parish Planning & Zoning Commission will meet July 9 to consider several land-use requests: resubdivisions at 206 4th Street in Luling and at 81, 83, and 85 Dunleith Court in Destrehan; a special-use permit for 16528 Highway 90 in Des Allemands; a rezoning from C-2 to R-1A at 15586 River Road in Hahnville; and a sign-size waiver for 12371 Highway 90 in Luling.
