NEW ROADS — Mayor Tommy Nelson wants Pointe Coupee Parish government to take over trash and garbage collection services within the city limits.
In a letter to the Police Jury sent earlier this month, Nelson asked for a consolidation of the garbage contract between the city and the parish.
Nelson said New Roads would continue to collect money for trash pickup in the city under such an agreement, but would forward $1.50 per customer to the Police Jury.
Nelson also requested that the parish provide monthly debris removal to the city.
At a Police jury meeting Tuesday, the matter was deferred to a later date.
On Wednesday, Jimmy Bello, Police Jury administrator, said jurors asked him to set up a meeting with New Roads representatives to further discuss the matter and report back to the Police Jury at its next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 12.
