Pugh was also a member of the Citizens Charter Study Committee, whose work in the middle 1970s led ultimately to the mayor/council form of municipal government, which began in Shreveport in 1979. His friend, former Mayor [[James C. Gardner]], served on the first city council under the new charter. Pugh and other Shreveport leaders, such as state Senator [[Don Williamson]], pushed heavily for four-year university status for LSU-Shreveport, which the Louisiana State Legislature approved in 1976. He authored the governing documents for the LSU Health Sciences Foundation in Shreveport and served continuously on its board.[1]
