Bernhard Capital Partners will make its first public presentation about a possible takeover of the Lafayette Utilities System next week.

The presentation is set for 5:30 p.m. Oct. 9 at City Hall before the Lafayette Public Utilities Authority.

The briefing may also go before the full council that same night. Officials were still ironing out those details as of Tuesday night.

Lafayette Mayor-President Joel Robideaux said Tuesday night that he has not yet received a proposal from Bernhard.

Robideaux said he was told he will receive the proposal before the presentation.

“I don’t really know what that means, if that means an hour prior or one day this week,” he said. “As soon as I have it, I’m going to make it public.”

Councilman Bruce Conque urged Robideaux to ask Bernhard to expedite their report. Robideaux said he would make such a request.

The presentation is for information purposes only.

“We will not vote on the proposal that night,” Conque said.

Jim Bernhard Jr. told the Lafayette Rotary Club in August that the plan is to create a new subsidiary, NextGen, to manage LUS and dozens of utility systems across the Southeast. Bernhard said his company could improve safety, reduce transmission costs and increase efficiencies.
