Parish, not city.

police dept,


Not immediately (if ever). By law, there would have to be a Chief of Police.

quote:

fire dept


Already exists (St. George FD)

quote:

tax accessor,


Assessor - parish office

quote:

school boards.



Yes - once a school district is established

Mayor and City Council will be appointed by Governor, pending elections.

Seeer system belongs to the Parish, but I suspect there will be a public works dept.

quote:

police dept
by law I believe therff Ed has to be a police chief. The size of the dept. is up in the air.

quote:

fire dept, tax
No, there are already fire districts in place.

quote:

tax accessor,
No, the tax assessor is a parish official.

quote:

school boards
The City of SG will not be in the school business.

I expect Sales taxes and property taxes currently in place will remain in place. They were all put in place by the voters. I can’t see any new taxes in the immediate future, but who knows?

No. DPW is a parish function.

Eventually.

Already have one...actually two: St. George and Eastside.

It's "assessor," and no. That's a parish function.

quote:

school boards.


Eventually.
