Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Kenner public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Pontchartrain Center parking agreement
A proposed Premium Parking deal would upgrade and monetize the Pontchartrain Center lot before the Squadrons' November 14 home opener, but councilmembers balked at approving a proposal without an attached contract. A 4-3 deferral delays paid parking, and a special meeting may be called.
2026 Property Tax Millage Rates
The council re-adopted the same millage rates for a third year — 28.16 mills — meaning no property tax rate change for 2026. Next reassessment is 2028.
Flood insurance and fortified roofs
Senator Talbot said NFIP Risk Rating 2.0 is 'a disaster' and a federal commission is reviewing it. He promoted the $10,000 fortified roof grant, which cuts homeowner's insurance about 22% on average and reopens in June with about $30 million available.
