Top issues during term (8)(Environment)
Recycling contract renewal
Raises the recycling line from $2.30 to $3 a month per household — about $8.40 more a year — though the city says it can absorb the increase for now; the contract is worth roughly $3.5 million over five years.
Odor and pest complaints at LA Fish and Seafood
Post-storm flooding and drainage capacity
Emergency repairs to the West Esplanade bridge cost $130,380.99, and drainage engineering continues under federal-aid projects.
Waste tire dumping enforcement
Contract cap reduced to $35,000; actual costs about $8,700 over two years.
Missed garbage and bulk pickups by Waste Pro
No direct cost to taxpayers discussed — the service is under Waste Pro's existing contract.
Entergy debris left along Williams Boulevard
If the city cleans it up, Public Works crews and disposal costs fall on Kenner taxpayers.
Weekend drop-off site operations
Up to $24,000 a year for labor; in-house operation would cost slightly more.
Litter and Keep Louisiana Beautiful affiliation
Affiliation could unlock beautification and trash-receptacle grants at little cost to the city.
