Top issues during term (7)(Taxes Budget)
Pontchartrain Center parking agreement
The parking operation is a new revenue source for the city; the deferral delays revenue collection until after the season opener.
Retirement of CAO Jose Gonzalez
His grant-writing and federal matching savvy has brought an estimated $100 million in infrastructure funding to Kenner.
CDBG and HOME grant plan
$519,022 in federal CDBG funding for 2026.
Ponchartrain Center renovation bidding process
Estimated around $4-6 million for the renovation based on the mayor's comments about the ~$6 million facility investment.
2026 property tax millage rates
No change in the property tax rate; your bill stays at the same millage as the last two years.
Sales tax revenues mixed
February shortfall of $292,050.27 offset by year-to-date gain of $2,101,522.42.
Flood insurance and fortified roofs
Up to $10,000 grant per home; average 22% homeowner's insurance discount for fortified roofs.
