In true December fashion, the Sibley Town Council wrapped up their final regular meeting of the year on Monday, December 9, in less than 15 minutes.

This being the final meeting before the newly-elected officials take office, Mayor Robert Smart recognized Helen Chanler and Alan Myers, saying “you are always welcome and we appreciate your service.”

A member of the Chanler family has served on the Sibley Town Council for many years. Chanler is proud that her daughter-in-law, Pam Chanler, will be carrying on the tradition.

“It’s an honor to be continuing the legacy of the Chanler family by serving my community,” Pam Chanler said in a phone interview.

Myers, Chief of the Sibley Volunteer Fire Department, has proudly served on the town council since 2013. His years of dedication and service as Alderman, and his continued service through the fire department, are greatly appreciated.

Before adjourning, the mayor reminded the seniors in attendance about the senior breakfast that will be held Friday, December 13, at 8:30 a.m. at the Sibley Civic Center. The breakfast is sponsored by the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and Sibley Volunteer Fire Department. All senior citizens of the town of Sibley are welcome.

The town council is looking forward to the new year.

 All the items on the agenda passed unanimously, which included:  

Ordinance No. 160 – An ordinance establishing a policy and procedure manual for water and wastewater services and prescribing penalties for the violation thereof, for the Town of Sibley, Louisiana, repealing all or parts of ordinances in conflict and providing in connection therewith.
