SENATE CONCURRENT RESOL UTION NO. 75
BY SENATORS FRED MILLS, ALLAIN AND HENSGENS AND REPRESENTATIVES
BOURRIAQUE, HUVAL AND MIGUEZ
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To acknowledge the agreement entered into by Iberia and Vermilion parishes to reestablish
the original parish line.
WHEREAS, Iberia and Vermilion Parishes are exercising the governmental functions
of each parish to interpret, ascertain, and reestablish the original parish line and not change
or alter its location; and
WHEREAS, there has been confusion as to the exact location of the boundary
between the two parishes for more than one hundred years and there is a real need for
delineation because it effects economic development, law enforcement jurisdiction,
emergency 911 calls, school attendance, voting, taxation, garbage pickup, road maintenance,
drainage maintenance, and other public services; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intention of either Iberia Parish or Vermilion Parish to
change or alter the location of any boundary between them, but rather to interpret, ascertain,
and reestablish the exact location of their joint boundaries; and
WHEREAS, after a review of historical data, several surveys, research of records and
Acts of the Legislature by both parishes, the parties entered into an agreement to finally and
fully settle the litigation between them; and
WHEREAS, Iberia Parish and Vermilion Parish have entered into a joint cooperative
endeavor agreement providing for the boundary; and
WHEREAS, this agreement settles all issues raised that either party might have
against the other, arising out of or in any way connected with the previously filed boundary
litigation.
