Boulet's plan to start parish emergency preparedness office shot down by council

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- The Lafayette Parish Council voted against the mayor-president's proposal to staff a local parish office of homeland security and emergency preparedness at its Tuesday meeting. 

Two council members explained their reasons for voting "no." 

The parish council voted against an ordinance to create two positions: a director and an emergency preparedness officer.

Parish District 3 Councilman Ken Stansberry said he's finding it difficult to follow the numbers.
