Good morning, Chairman and City Council members.

It's nice to see all of you.

My name is Sandra Lombana Lim Lindquist, and I'm the president CEO of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce.

So when Michael Sawa called and asked if I'd be interested in this board position, I really did want to think through it.

It's a time commitment and energy commitment, but I do feel that the quality of life and the culture of New Orleans is so important to all of us.

And when we balance the business community with the residential community, that's when we can be effective in the development of our city.

So my background in economic development and community development, I believe would be an asset to the Audubon Commission.

And so I would love to serve our community by being a commissioner.

And you know, as we accompany invest in the city, how can I personally give back to some of these nonprofit organizations and the city's huge assets that help our develop our youth and help develop you know our our community?

The Act Museum uh the Octave Museum of Southern Art.

And um, I am really really passionate about serving and giving back to my community.

Um I think the Audubon Commission and what's happening is a renaissance in the city, and I'd love to be a part of it.

The fact that we just had this what 20-year plan of to see this part finally come to fruition is incredibly exciting, and I want to be part of that.

I'm as when I serve, I serve.

I give my time, my energy, and my expertise.

And as an entrepreneur, I think I've learned and gained a tremendous amount over the last 26 years in doing that.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Four years, no nays.

Uh you are approved.

Next up, we have Tanya Boyd Cannon with the New Orleans Recreation and Development Commission.

I'm gonna press my button so that you see if it after Judge Johnson I might just say something.

Good day, everyone.

How are you?

Thank you so much for having me.

Um, Tanya Boyd Cannon, educator, um, musician, founder, and president of Rise My Child Foundation.

Um, when I was called upon to um prepare for this position, the first thing I thought about was what was given to me when I was a youth here.

And I worked during the summer for I went to school for three hours, and then we had a job.

We were taught how financial training, we were given opportunities for um music programs, arts programs, and I feel working now with 10 years now with the partnership of Jazz and Heritage Foundation, Nord.

What do our kids need?

They need consistency, they need programming.

Our kids need to see, feel, know that we care.

Our kids are the future, so why not invest in them now?

And I feel my love for every baby in this city, it's my baby.

No matter where they come from, they're mine.

And I make that statement and I affirm that within them because if I'm not for them, who will be for them?

And so I want to be able to advocate more, also um bring more programming in our communities, and if they can't get to us, we get to them.

So let's build for our babies.

Uh, Councilmember Hughes, you want to think comment?

Well, thank you, Mr.

Um, Mr.

President, uh, good morning, Ms.

Cannon.

Um, I'm just gonna say what I've said to all of the previous nominees for Nord.

First of all, thank you for being such a great ambassador for our city, and uh definitely appreciate and share your passion for our youth.

Um, but I don't want us to lose sight when we think of Nord.

Um, I don't want us to just think of youth because when we look at uh cities that work across the country, uh robust park and recreation systems work for for all citizens.

Yes, and in my district, district E, for example, you know, I have a very robust, thriving senior citizen population.

Absolutely.

Uh, who really enjoy Nord facilities, uh, who look forward to waking up doing water aerobics, uh, you know, and when that swimming pool is out of commission for three months, four months, five months, uh, it does take a toll on our seniors.

And so uh I just really want us to think of Nord uh as an organization for our babies to the oldest resident in our city.

But thank you for answering the call to serve.

Can I can I just say something?

So I also resident of I and I said I represent their Lord Nightward all day.

Um I served on the board in the Lower Nine, the Homeowners Association, Sanchez Center.

That was our last center of bringing partnership in.

Um, and those elders at that center, the child within them is what made me love even more of what I do.

And when I see them still to this day, whether I'm on stage or in the community, they always talk about the arts and how that lives.

And so, yes, I agree 1,000 percent that um our children are from zero to 99 and beyond.

And so, yes, Nord is important because when they don't have the swimming pool, when the lactation center is not available, or when um staff is shortened, who who suffers the community, and so I want to make sure that I advocate for everyone.

Um, so thank you so for that gentle reminder.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

President.

And I just want to say I'm just so excited that you are willing to serve on Nord.

It is a tremendous time commitment, and you really have to love the game and love the kids.

Yes, and you really do have that love for our children actually.

So I will move.

Can I get a second?

Second by Councilmember McCarron.

Please watch your machines.

Five years, no nays.

Thank you so much.

Next up, we have Lamar Garder.

I was just talking about you yesterday, Lamar.

I was volunteering you to go do some data.

Oh, well, you know, that's my job, so I'm happy to jump in.

All right, why do you want to be on the finance authority for New Orleans?

Yes, so I am Lamar Gardeer, executive director of the data center here in New Orleans.

Um it's my job and part of our mission to democratize data to understand how that data works to inform decision making for broader prosperity in our region.

And so when we analyze that data, when we analyze that information, and we see all the indicators across the city that tell us how we're doing, consistently, one of the bright spots is homeownership in New Orleans.

And FANO over its history has had an amazing role in making that happen through its programs.

It's one of the agencies that has actually helped to close gaps over generations.

I'm a native New Orleanian.

My family has been here for a long time.

I want this to be a great place.

I want to be part of that with FANO's expanded mission to improve commercial development and their focus on data these days.

I think I'm a great choice for it.

I would like to be involved with it.

I'm ready to do my civic duty to help New Orleans be a you know the place it should be.

All right.

Well, board's clear.

Councilman Harris moves.

Council member uh Hughes seconds.

Five years, no nays.

Thank you very much, Mark.

Thank you.

Uh Kevin Wynne.

Well, Mr.

President, uh, for the record on this particular uh nomination, I am gonna recuse myself from discussion and voting on this item.

Uh in full transparency, Mr.

Wynne uh is my blood uncle.

Uh didn't realize he was pursuing this post.

Uh, and though he doesn't necessarily meet the definition of immediate family under the law out of an abundance of caution, I am gonna recuse myself.

All right.

Well, good morning, council members.

Uh, my name is Kevin Wynne.

And I was approached um to sit on the New Orleans loan authority uh on the board.

And um, with that in mind, I went and did my research to um see exactly what it would pertain to, what exactly involvement.

And um looking at the first thing that came out was community, community activity, community involvement.

And with my experience in banking in 35 years, and you know, working with with uh home loans and um just getting people access to capital.

I figured this was right in my wheelhouse.

This is something I love to do.

Um so it's I just wanted to make impact in the community, and this is why I'm here, and I'm looking forward and excited about what is going forward.

All right.

Well, the board is clear.

I will move to approve.

Take a second.

Second by Councilman Berg Green, please watch your machines.

Four years, one recusal.

You'll be affordable council for confirmation.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Wynn.

If you have any problems with this nephew of yours, you just let us know.

One thing is certain he can't comment on anything that we say about him relative to you.

So I'll keep that in mind.

Thank you.

No, I that was okay.

Wow.

All right.

Uh John Malazzo for FENO.

Same question, Mr.

Malazo.

Good morning.

I'm John Molazzo.

I and I'm appearing before you as a return member of the Finance New Orleans Board.

I have served on that board a full term, and my term is expired.

So this is the first time I've had an opportunity to come before you to address you in a uh, I guess a reupping of that position.

I've enjoyed that um that term.

I come from a credit union background.

I was a commercial banking for nearly 40 years.

Uh I served as president of LSU's credit union, campus federal credit union for that time.

Um we dealt mainly with people who had modest means.

I find that that same commitment forwards into the Finance New Orleans commitment as well.

Um I'm committed to helping my community, and I look forward to serving and continuing to serve as a citizen of New Orleans.

All right, Council Paris.

John, I just want to thank you for uh agreeing to a second appointment to finance, um, to all the members, the new the new board members and returning board members.

Uh this agency is so critical, especially as we go forward with the housing trust fund in making sure that you, as board members, understand what the city of New Orleans needs and makes those recommendations on how we should spend the commitment of money that the voters committed to uh improve affordable housing in this city.

So I just want to say thank you, John, and to the new board members, and I look forward to working with you.

Thank you, Mr.

Harris.

Thank you.

Move by Council Brahes.

Seconded by Council Harris.

Uh all in favor?

Five years, no nage before the full board for confirmation.

Uh next up, we have the Ethics Review Board.

We have Sion Quiet Smith.

Please make sure I'll I pronounced your name correctly, right, Sion?

Yes, you do.

Okay.

You did.

Good morning.

Uh, the lofty responsibilities of the ethics uh revoke review board to enforce and administer the provisions under the Louisiana governmental uh uh code of governmental ethics to support the initiatives of this board, the programs of this board, and the training of this board, uh, that really leads to how this esteemed body and if I'm so selected, this board will help to maintain the integrity, not only of its functions, but of your vision, your goals not only of this board, but to create a stronger, more accountable city, is one that I'm committed to, passionate about, uh and strongly endeavor uh to achieve.

And why uh it makes sense and and why I'm so passionate about it is because for gosh, the better part of 15 years, uh over six institutions of higher education, uh, including being a FEMA uh certified command deployer, I've always had operational responsibilities in addition to academic responsibilities.

Uh and that meant uh in that portfolio that being responsible for the cabinet level uh compliance matters, uh managed human resources, conduct matters on the student side as well as on the staff side.

Uh, I believe that those uh those experiences that skill set, and we all know by going back to command center operations, you have to be in sync, but you have to have a higher standard of accountability, communication, and transparency, because in those situations it saves lives.

So I I present and I feel that I am equipped, passionate, um, but most of all, humbled and honored to be considered and to serve.

Thank you very much.

The board is clear.

I'll move for approval.

Second by council member Hughes.

Please vote your machines.

Five years, no nays.

Thank you very much.

Next up, Nick Harris.

Uh good morning.

All right, Nick, why do you want to be on the ethics review board?

Well, I'm really excited about being on the ethics review board.

Uh, after 37 years of working at Dilly University under six presidents, and with the uh my background also with the city of New Orleans working in federal programs, I understand that both public and private side, but most importantly, ethics is very important to carry out not only in the public and private sector of government, but also for the community, and the community see everything that's going on to bring in support, to bring in support and um transparency, everything that happens.

And I think that with my experience in having the the pulse of a community and different neighborhoods by inviting them and having events and everything in the community, it's very important for them to understand what's going on.

And I I'm just very excited to be a part of it.

And I it's a uh committee that I feel as though through my formal background, my person uh present background that I'm able to deliver a good message.

So I'm happy to be here.

All right, thanks, Nick.

Good morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Um let me say this.

I serve as the president and CEO for Volunteers America Southeast Louisiana.

So it's a blessing that I've been asked to um be nominated uh to serve on this particular board.

Um serving on the ethics review board aligns with um my character, and I believe that was the reason why I was asked.

Integrity, transparency, and accountability and processes, people, services, and all that we do within our community.

So I am looking forward um to seeing if I can serve on this board if you all accept me as a member so we can continue to do well and uplift this community.

Good morning, Councilmembers.

My name is Sherelle Sims Taplin.

I am currently a shareholder at the law firm Lisco and Lewis.

Um, and I would love to be on this board.

When I was asked by the President of Loyola to serve on this board, I saw it as an honor and an opportunity to come back into the fold of the city of New Orleans and uh provide a service as a native New Orleanian and my family being a part of this city for generations.

Um and the city is is home to me both professionally and personally.

Um I have a deep respect for the responsibility that comes with public service at every level, and I believe that ethical standards matter because they create a culture of credibility and trust in city government.

And I've seen firsthand how that impacts our community every day.

Um I believe that when people trust our city, it strengthens our communities, and I believe that my experience as an attorney for the past 24 years and working within an ethical framework will help lend my experience to the board, and I look forward to serving the board in that capacity.

Thank you.

Councilmember Harris.

Councilmember Hughes moves Councilman Harris seconds to go with your machines.

All right, four years, no nays.

You are for the council confirmation.

Next up, we have Savitri Wilson Taylor.

For the downtown development district.

Good morning, Council.

I'm excited to be here and to be appointed and nominated for Downtown Development District.

Many, many years ago, over 15 years ago, I had the opportunity to serve as secretary of downtown development district in Baton Rouge, and in that position, was able to tour other downtown development districts across the country.

And I think that New Orleans is not only positioned to grow and expand and to be seen on a national level but an international level, and it's downtown is just right for opportunity.

Um and I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

Councilmember Hughes.

Thank you, Mr.

President Savitri.

First, thank you for uh answering this call to serve.

I had a front row seat uh to your career over the last two decades.

And uh I'm just really really excited uh that you are gonna bring your talent and innovation to our downtown development district.

Uh and I look forward to uh you and the the board working to bring our downtown to the next level.

So thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh Councilman Hughes moves.

Five years, no nays.

Next up, we have Ronald P.

McLean for the Sandy Kresnoff New Orleans Criminal Justice Council.

Come on down, neighbor.

Tell us why you want to be on.

I think you're already on Sandy Kresnoff, right?

Yes, yes.

Sorry, why you want to stay on Sandy Kresnoff.

Oh, thanks so much.

Good morning, everyone.

I'm Ron McClain.

I'm executive director of the Institute of Mental Hygiene, which is a local philanthropic organization that provides grant making to agencies and organizations that work with and on behalf of children and families.

So I I have a long history working in this town.

One of my first jobs, in fact, was at Youth Study Center over 40 years ago.

Um over the years I've worked with um perpetrators of crime as well as victims of crime when I ran Children's Bureau and Family Service of Greater New Orleans, much of our work with uh victims of crime.

Well, I um I appreciate the fact that we've had a significant reduction in crime.

I think we have a long way to go to ensure that um victims of crime get the support they need, and also that we can do a lot of better job at preventing crime, particularly early on.

And so I think I've had value added value um to the council over the years that I did serve at the mental health uh representative, and I'm committed to continue to work on behalf of the citizens of this town to improve conditions, help coordinate the criminal justice system, provide advice and um to to the council and the mayor around ways to continue this progress that we've made and do more.

So um thank you for for entertaining my um meet today.

Thank you.

I will move, take it a second.

Second by council member Jason Hughes, please vote your machines.

Fabias no nays.

Thank you very much.

Please be here today.

Uh next up, we have for the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority.

We have the Honorable Bernardette Johnson.

I mean, I don't think any introduction is necessary.

Uh I do want to give full disclosure after after Mr.

Hughes.

I believe the judge and I are third cousins.

Some something like that.

Third, fourth cousins.

I I'm not recusing myself.

But I do want to make sure that everyone knew that, and I don't think it's an issue because once you get to fifth or sixth, everybody in New Orleans is related.

Yes, that's right.

By some degree.

Thank you so much, Mr.

President.

And to uh council members, thank you so much for this invitation to be here this morning.

Uh I retired as uh Chief Justice of Louisiana Supreme Court in 2020 after serving as a district court judge and and then chief judge of the Louisiana Supreme Court.

I have been uh a member of the new New Orleans Aviation Board, and uh I felt that this was a good uh fit for me to rotate from uh the aviation board to uh the redevelopment authority because uh I think this is might be a good fit for me at this point.

I've lived uptown on Phillips Street, I've lived in the Lower Ninth Ward on North Robertson Street before my family bought a home in Ponchatran Park.

I'm interested in the whole city looking good and uh and uh we want to focus on the plaza towers and those uh commercial buildings that have been blighted for so many years.

I'll probably be asking for some help from a city attorney to look at uh what we're doing in terms of liens, how are we forcing property owners to take care of their property and what resources uh does the city have to force them to do something?

I think it's just unconscionable to have a plaza towel that's derelict for 30 years, or to have uh Lindy Boggs facility there, derelict for so many years.

So having my uh background in law, I've been a lawyer for a lot of years.

Uh perhaps we can look at what resources are available to the city to move the city forward and take care of some of the blight.

And uh I think we ought to focus on the big property owners first and not folks who don't pick up trash.

All right.

Well, the board lit up, Sarah wants to say something.

So we'll start with Councilmember Green.

Judge Johnson, um, I thank you very much for your continued interest in our community, our city and our state.

Um, it's so very honorable to of you to want to continue the service after having so many decades of service to all of our people.

And I think and just your remarks that you've made um show that you are certainly going to be taking this particular responsibility on in a very motivated fashion.

It's such an important agency, and thank you very much for your um thank you very much for your service.

Thank you for those comments, Mr.

Green.

I know uh uh uh I appreciate uh all of the uh help and I appreciate uh councilmember Harris and everything she's done to encourage me, Mr.

Councilmember Hughes, JP Morrell, of course, council member, that you've done over the years.

But uh it it's an I thought I'd be sitting at home drinking tea, okay?

Uh but if there is any way I can use my background to uh move the city forward, I'm certainly uh happy to do it.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

There are others.

You got you gotta go fast.

I want to maybe that's all right.

I still want to say one other thing, though.

I want to thank you, but I also want to thank the many um citizens and residents who are being confirmed to date, likely by this committee.

We certainly have to vote.

But I want to thank all of you all.

I could have said something after almost every person's name here because I know so many folks.

But we have entrepreneurs today, we have folks who are represented, representatives of universities, we have folks who have served in capacities that want to continue serving.

So for the thousands of people who are watching, and the thousands of people who will see this afterwards, you're seeing something very, very special today in our city.

Folks who have done so much for our city and want to continue to do things, and I know this expression gets used a lot.

You all are all in, just like I'm all in.

Our city is moving forward in a very positive direction, and part of the reason is because of your willingness to serve our community.

You're doing a good job.

We're making progress, and thank you very much for your willingness to serve.

Thank you.

All right, Councilmember Harris.

Uh Justice Johnson, I just want to say thank you.

I wasn't kidding.

Everybody was.

Pardon me, I didn't know you were addressing some comments to me, Councilmember.

Yeah, it's okay.

Justice, I just want to say publicly to the thousands of people who are watching.

Um, thank you for being a role model um in the legal field.

Thank you for being a role model to young black women everywhere.

Thank you for your continued service to the city of New Orleans.

I can tell you along with Finance New Orleans, um, Nora is one of the partners in the Housing Trust Fund, which will address affordable housing.

And your remarks on blight around the city is something that I take very seriously.

My team with other council members are working on tightening up our blight rules to make sure that properties can be quickly adjudicated and gotten into responsible homeowners and uh businesses' hands so that we don't have all these blighted properties sitting around or buildings falling down after 30 years of just sitting.

So I just want to say thank you for your service and um just thank you for being here.

Look, I I worked in this building as a city attorney in the 80s, and um I I'm gonna enjoy talking with uh city attorneys again about you know what resources do we have, what laws do we have on the books, what can we do?

Because I'm not the kind of person I am.

What what can we do to move something forward?

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Still got more.

Jason Hughes.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr.

President.

Madam Chief Justice, I'm gonna be quit, but uh you can't have living history in front of you and not say something.

So much.

As I always tell you, thank you uh for paving the way for so many.

I stand on your shoulders, we all do.

Um but I'm glad that you are once again answering the call to serve and not just sitting at home drinking tea because you have too much intellect and too much public service in your heart.

Uh in District E.

Uh, I just wanna you know put this on on your mind, Madam Chief Justice, as you know.

You you once lived in District E.

I did.

It is a beautiful community with so much promise and so much potential.

And in the law of ninth ward, we just need that catalyst.

Um we need that grocery store, we need health care, and I know Nora uh is gonna be a great vehicle.

Uh and as you talk about commercial blight and slum lords, don't forget about 6700 Plaza Drive, the Pulstach Alpha, Blight in New Orleans East.

Uh, and and I'm looking forward to leaning on Nora to be that catalyst uh to help me relocate sewage and water board from St.

Joseph Street uh to New Orleans East.

I don't just want a piece of it.

I don't just want an annex.

I want the entire footprint, employees, trucks, everything.

So I'm looking forward to Nora helping me with that.

Thank you so much, Austin.

I have a 15 minutes.

But I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna let you go.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm I'll see you at the reunion.

We're good.

Thank you.

All right, uh Wow, left.

Harris moved.

Green seconded, 5-0.

Thank you very much.

All right, that ends all of our confirmations for today.

We're gonna talk about temporary alcohol beverage permits.

So if y'all don't want to sit through that, y'all are good.

Y'all can go.

All right.

Consent agenda.

Yes, all these are all these items will be on the consent agenda, correct?

There you go.

All right.

Austin, bring down your team.

We're gonna talk about temporary alcohol.

Tell him I don't want Kevin on the consent.

Not be on a consent.

How does that work?

That means people are gonna talk about it about it.

Yeah, you're good.

Yeah, you're good.

You you you're promised me you're good.

Well, it might still put us both of them.

I said I thought we're like a very we knew it.

Right, all right.

All right.

Let's talk about temporary ABOs.

Um, as many of you know, I believe Austin, we began this journey last year repeatedly.

That's right.

So I believe at this point, through to a tremendous amount of work of the administration and the council, we have a series of amendments to this ordinance.

Um I will go over generally speaking what the amendments are.

We actually can't add the amendments, I believe, until the full council meeting.

Okay.

The amendments, I'll discuss what we're doing to the ordinance as filed that there will be some significant changes.

The amendments that will be proposed at the full council will be a temporary the temporary permit will now be 90 days as previously 60.

We've clarified zoning review for all temporary permits and licenses occur within 10 days of submitting the application.

Now there's five calendar days for finance to issue an occupational license previously 10.

The entire permit process is a maximum of 15 days.

If Department of Safety of Permits or Finance does not grant of grant the approval of temporary permit within 15 days, if the yeah, it is automatically granted.

It still requires councilmatic approval before automatic grant.

If application is denied, the applicant receives written reasons for the Nile within five days.

The applicant would then have 15 days to appeal the denial to the CAO or his dexit knee if he disagrees to the department's decision and general chair general changes to clarify a warning.

The goal is to create a process as safety and permits, and this has a has a drop dead date, I believe of 2027, correct?

The goal is for us to give the opportunity for business to move forward while safety and permits builds out and gets back to through the backlog.

So this will create a mechanism where we can have businesses that are new businesses that are opening where they can have a reliable process to get open while we're waiting for safety of permits with your leadership, Suzanne, to build out.

Um is there anything y'all would like to add in regards to this?

Um no, I just wanted to I express my gratitude for the help from council and administration for pushing this forward.

So I just thank you.

Thank you.

Are there any questions from the council?

Hearing none, I will move forward on this.

All fair, please vote your machines.

Four years, uh, no nays.

This will not go on consent because there's amendments at the full council.

All right, thank you.

With that, Councilman Green moves that we adjourn.

Councilman McCarron seconds extensively.

All in fair, please vote your machines.

Five years, no nays.

We are adjourned.

Thank you.
