Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Kenner public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Outsourced game-day operations at the convention center
Pelican Events will handle the basketball court and game-day staffing, with those costs passed on to the team and other renters rather than absorbed by the city.
New Orleans Aviation Board appointment process
The seat has been vacant since February; the council sent three names forward but not before a fight over whether incoming members should get a say. The New Orleans mayor makes the final pick.
Ponchartrain Center layoffs
Legends terminated its management contract June 30, and ten long-time workers were given a week's notice with no severance. Workers appealed to the council; the mayor says the city cannot pay severance to non-employees.
