The notice for the 2 September committee meeting has been posted but names only the committees involved and lists no items. No agenda has appeared yet for the 16 September full jury meeting. Public notices on the parish site still end in 2021. The parish’s “LAND USE 7th Rough Draft” PDF continues to bounce in an https-to-http redirect loop — a sixth failed automated attempt; it needs opening by hand. The Vermilion Chamber directory has refused automated requests for a third consecutive week, and both Abbeville’s council portal and the parish minutes index ask for a confirmation click that only a person at a keyboard can give.

A draft parish ordinance would limit any RV park to 50 on-site lots and require privacy fencing, paid for by the park operator, wherever a park abuts a residential neighborhood. It was debated in committee on 2 September and is not finalized. The next full Police Jury meeting is Wednesday 16 September 2026, 5:30pm, at the Vermilion Parish Courthouse. Parish Administrator Keith Roy supports it, framing it as protecting landowners; Juror Scott Broussard opposes it, arguing the cost should fall on residential developers who build next to existing parks rather than on the parks, and that the rule sits badly with a parish that has never had zoning in its unincorporated areas. The ordinance text itself is not yet public — only press accounts of it are.

Two of the parish’s drainage districts held meetings in this window, checked here as part of the site’s levee-and-drainage-district coverage rather than because either recorded anything tied to the spaceport buildout. Prairie Gregg Drainage District (July 13) reported a dragline shaft and bearing needing repair, unusable equipment mats to be rented as needed, and a pending GOHSEP inspection of repairs tied to Hurricanes Delta and Laura; it also accepted its millage resolution and election results as presented. Gueydan Drainage District (August 11) engaged Kolder, Slaven & Company for its annual audit and authorized cashing a $100,000 certificate of deposit into its maintenance account. Neither meeting touched land use, ordinances, or anything connected to Pecan Island.

It ratified four July transfers totaling $82,431.64 from the Utility and Sales Tax funds into the General Fund, plus a separate $49,435 transfer from the Utility Fund into LAMP (Louisiana Asset Management Pool). The engineering report said the town’s LWI Round 2 project deliverables remained under state review, with the next design phase awaiting comment. A proposed ordinance amending officer compensation had been set for a September 8 public hearing, but its introduction at this meeting failed for lack of a motion and second — no vote occurred.

The Abbeville council met July 14 in a special session, having canceled two regular meetings that month in favor of it. Recorded actions include partial-payment estimate No. 11 of $310,115.25 to Preferred Mechanical on the Water Treatment Plant Improvement Project; a hangar-development change order adding $13,689.35 and 60 days to the airport project; $10,935 for Barn Lift Station repairs and $10,470 for three replacement transformers; authorization to sign documents for the LCDBG Clearance Program and Water Sector Program; and emergency debris-removal and engineering contracts covering June 2026 through May 2027. The council also appointed an interim District A councilman, made its annual round of attorney/engineer/auditor appointments, and declared two vehicles surplus. The notice is evidence the council recorded these approvals, not independent confirmation the work was completed.

Next door in Cameron Parish, RV park rules were rewritten in January 2026 — months before anyone outside a nondisclosure agreement knew about Pecan Island. Under those rules, anything with five or more RVs counts as a park; anything over 25 spaces needs Police Jury approval and a development plan showing tract boundaries; RVs must stay road-ready and registered; and violations carry fines to $250 and up to 30 days in jail. Parks permitted before December 2018 were exempted outright. It is the nearest working model to what Vermilion Parish is debating, and it grandfathered what already existed — whether Vermilion’s draft does the same has not appeared in reporting.
