City of Central

The City of Central has always approached government differently. Today, we took another important step to ensure public safety remains a top priority while expanding the spirit of collaboration that has long served our community. Mayor Wade Evans and Sheriff Sid Gautreaux signed a cooperative endeavor agreement that continues and strengthens our partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office, providing Central’s citizens with robust law enforcement protection. This innovative “hybrid” approach allows the City to keep long-term legacy costs under control while efficiently delivering the public-safety services our citizens deserve and expect. Just as importantly, it allows us to maintain our focus and resources on repairing infrastructure and completing critical drainage projects. Government is evolving, and Central is leading the way. We believe this model will be studied and replicated by other communities in the years ahead. This partnership has been discussed for nearly 20 years. Today, it finally became a reality.

💗 Central City Hall is Shining Pink for Dolly 💗 Tonight, City Hall is glowing pink in honor of the legendary Dolly Parton. From working “9 to 5” to reminding us “I Will Always Love You,” Dolly’s music, generosity, and heart have touched generations. So this week, we’re adding a little “Pink” and a whole lot of sparkle to Central in tribute to an icon who has made the world a brighter place. 💕✨
