Top issues during term (8)(Public Safety)
Model Cities Initiative federal public safety grant application
Could bring roughly $125 million in federal funding to the parish over three years if the city wins one of only two to four national awards.
Civil service exam no-show rates
Board office relocation and facility renovation
public safety / National Guard deployment
A Guard deployment could add state or city costs for personnel and logistics, though the funding source isn’t clear yet.
community gun safety event
It’s free to attend, so your wallet’s safe—though city resources are being used to host it.
public safety incident
Expect short-term costs from emergency response, mall closures, lost sales, and traffic disruptions—not a citywide economic hit unless the situation grows.
Crime prevention district fees (South Burbank and Concord Estates)
New annual fees of $100 (South Burbank) or $69.50 (Concord Estates) on property owners in those districts.
AXON police technology agreement
Up to $31.2 million over ten years, starting at $1.9 million in year one.
