In other business Tuesday, the council is scheduled to go into executive session to discuss a lawsuit brought against the city-parish by a billboard company.
Bass Ltd., is arguing that the city unfairly approved permits that allowed Lamar Advertising to convert several billboards to digital format.
When Bass made a similar request, the Department of Planning, Zoning and Codes did not approve the application, saying it had decided to take a look at the ordinance that governs billboards.
The issue was set for a hearing Oct. 8 before 15th Judicial District Judge Kristian Earles, although attorneys for Bass have said they’ll request an earlier hearing.
The council meets at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall on University Avenue.
