Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Minden public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
October Events and Traffic
A busy October ahead: Angel Baby fun run blocking Broadway this Saturday, the fair, parades, homecoming, and a trunk-or-treat the week of October 20-24. Plan for detours downtown.
July 4th Fireworks Hours Extended
The mayor wants to let fireworks run until midnight on the Fourth of July only. Current rules cut them off at 10 p.m., and salespeople say customers want more time on the holiday.
Opt-Out of State Temporary Housing Program
The council opted out of the state's temporary housing and shelter assistance program, as it does each year, preserving flexibility since the city can opt in later but not out.
Recent storm and power outage response
Council members praised city crews, police, firefighters, and linemen for their response to the storm that caused widespread power outages and forced the meeting's reschedule.
