Alleged Violation Of City Charter Discussed At Council’s Monday Meeting

For the past several years, the City of Sulphur has allegedly been violating the city charter in possibly more ways than one.

Sulphur City Attorney, Thomas Marcum, who was hired by the council in March 2025, informed City Manager Andy Freeman last week that after reading through the city charter, the city is only allowed to spend $1,500.00 without advertising for sealed bids.

When questioned about the situation at Monday night’s monthly council meeting, Marcum told council members the charter made no provisions for emergencies.
