In 2019, State law was amended whereby the Iberville Parish Council became the governing authority of the IPRD. Prior to the change in governing authority, an Iberville Parish Council employee had a contract to cut the grass of the IPRD. The contract to cut grass between William Kimball, who is employed with the Iberville Parish Department of Public Works and the IPRD was dated February 14, 2018 was for a one year term.
