The Washington Parish Council is the legislative body of
Washington Parish Government and consists of one councilman elected from each
of the seven districts in Washington Parish. The council has regular meetings twice a
month, generally on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at 6 PM in the
Council Chambers on the first floor of the Washington Parish Courthouse in
Franklinton. Each councilman serves
a four year term. The council
elects a chairman and vice-chairman yearly. Several committees consist of three
councilmen that are appointed by the council chairman yearly. Each committee has a councilman that
serves as chairman of that committee. Committees that are presently active are
the finance committee, infrastructure committee, personnel committee, road
committee, and solid waste committee. All committee meetings are open to the
public as are the regular council meetings.
