In Doyline’s most recent council meeting Monday, sewer operator Mike Dunaway brought it to the attention of the council that chlorine vendor Hawkins, has stated it is a safety hazard to deliver chlorine without safe and drivable access to the village sewer plant.

An all-weather access road must be built to continue receiving chlorine. Without a road the vendor will discontinue their services.

Adam Lee, resident of Doyline and member of the Webster Parish Police Jury, happened to be in attendance, and stated that he will bring this to the attention of the police jury due to its urgency.

Lee also reminded the council that the Webster Parish Police Jury has proposed the donation of parcel #128521 to the Village of Doyline. That proposal was on the Police Jury’s agenda for February 4 and was passed.

To clarify, Myra Kilburn stated that the land they are proposing to be donated is the land that was previously used as the Webster Parish Police Jury’s maintenance barn and is located at the end of College Street.

“They have offered generously to donate it to us for our new barn location,” Kilburn said. The council members expressed their gratitude.

The council meeting is held on the first Monday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Doyline Town Hall and residents are encouraged to attend.
