LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY)- On November 16, 2018, Sheriff Mark Garber recorded a Resolution, with the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court, Louis Perret, regarding the 1/2 cent sales tax proposition on the December 8, 2018 ballot.

The Resolution establishes a covenant with the voters of Lafayette Parish and outlines the Sheriff’s plan for using the revenue the tax would generate. 

Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court Louis Perret noted the fact that this is “the first time a Lafayette Parish elected official has filed a Resolution with his office that specifically outlines how the tax revenue will be used.”

The Resolution also provides a framework for a reduction of the Lafayette Parish Law Enforcement District millage once specified objectives have been achieved, the LPSO said today.
