Dear Friend: 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Yesterday, the New Orleans City Council recognized and commended breast cancer survivors. The Council also recognized various medical professionals, support organizations, and service agencies for their year-round community involvement and engagement, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

I gave special recognition to and saluted breast cancer survivors Tranell Perrault and Tanchanelle Washington. These two women have overcome the challenges of breast cancer in a motivating fashion. Thank you to Lena Stewart, a breast cancer survivor, for your commitment to helping others enhance the quality of their lives through awareness, leading to screening and the utilization of recovery resources, as necessary. #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerscreenings

Thank you to the many groups and individuals whose organization of and participation in Night Out Against Crime activities helped create an informative and enjoyable networking experience. The fight against crime has paid dividends in New Orleans as of late, with significant reductions in violent crime. However, as can be seen lately, there is still much to do. Be vigilant, be aware of associations, and report what you see by dialing 311 and by visiting nola311.org.

A reminder: Early voting commences next Saturday, November 1. Visit sos.la.gov for information. 

Sincerely, 

Councilman Eugene Green

Legislative Summary

Councilman Green supported the following legislative items at yesterday's City Council meeting:

Ordinance Calendar No. 35,237 authorizes the City to enter into an agreement with the Orleans Parish Communications District (OPCD) for the public purpose of improving the management, quality, speed, priority, and consistency by which 9-1-1 and 3-1-1 calls are processed and the overall organizational structure of OPCD is handled.

Ordinance Calendar No. 35,272 authorizes the City to enter into a Subrecipient Agreement with New Orleans Redevelopment Authority ( NORA ), for a term greater than one year, for the public purpose of supporting food entrepreneurs in New Orleans through the creation of a food business incubator and providing microgrants to currently operating commercial kitchens to directly respond to the disaster-related impacts that occurred post Hurricanes Ida, Zeta, and the severe storms of 2020 and 2021.

Ordinance Calendar No. 35, 240 authorizes the City, through the New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB), to enter into a Lease Agreement at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport with Aero New Orleans II, LLC.

What's Going On In District D

Filmore Ave. at Cartier Ave. Water Leak

The Sewerage and Water Board is aware of the leak at Filmore Ave. and Cartier Ave., and is working to get it stopped as soon as possible.

Here is the latest update from General Superintendent Stephen Nelson:

October 9th Update: "We were informed by Boh Brothers that the repair to the valve at Florida that is controlling this leak cannot be started until 10/27. We have requested that the leak repair be expedited but we are not likely to be able to get the repair any sooner. Networks is also working on a follow up quote from a second vendor on the Filmore/Cartier leak to see if we can foreshorten the timing of this issue. There is a large piece of steel pipe that has a multi week lead time so we’ll have to get that schedule update as soon as we can."

Demolition of Blight

This demolition of blight in Pilotland should pave the way for an eventual rebuilding of a new residential unit in the growing Pilotland community. The attention given to making our communities safer by the Department of Code Enforcement is appreciated.

Nearly 175 blighted properties have been demolished in City Council District D alone over the past four years, making a measurable positive impact on quality of life here.

Councilman Green joined In the dedication of the 8th phase of mausoleum creation at Mount Olivet Cemetery. Located across from the Dillard University campus in Gentilly.

Councilman Green, son Eugene Green, III, and coaches with the 18th Ward gather at Hardin Park in the Seventh Ward on the Night Out Against Crime.  It is great to see and hear the activity of young people and supervisors at this park which was once much too dormant. Decreases in crime and enhanced levels of public activity - including the planting of trees and cleanup during the Super Bowl week - have enhanced the attractiveness of this recreation spot.

Click here for information on Dr. Joseph A. Hardin, for whom the park is named.  The history of this park and of its namesake's contributions to New Orleans make clear why this park must be both maintained well and active.

Haynes Charter Schools to Host Open House Tours

Weekly Crime Statistics

One violent crime is too many. However, progress is being made. Orleans Parish, with its millions of visitors per year and historical pressures on its social fabric has special challenges relative to crime - challenges that are distinct in the State of Louisiana.  Appreciation is due to residents and to members of the law enforcement community - led by the NOPD's constitutional patrols and investigations - for the progress being made. There is still much to do.

Community-Led Green Infrastructure Grant Opportunity & Info Session

Grants of up to $150,000 are available to community-based non-profit organizations working to address flooding and heat in their neighborhoods with green infrastructure. Applications for Round 1 Grants are due October 24, 2025.

The Greater New Orleans Foundation and its subsidiary, The New Orleans Community Support Foundation (NOCSF), invites applications from eligible nonprofit and community-based organizations for grants under the Community-Led Green Infrastructure initiative. This initiative, supported by federal funding, aims to advance environmental well-being and community resilience through the development, implementation, and evaluation of community-led green infrastructure projects focused on flood mitigation, community resilience, and water quality improvement in vulnerable and underserved communities in the Greater New Orleans region.

The Foundation will distribute $1.75 million in grants over two rounds to implement community-led green infrastructure projects in underserved communities at highest risk for adverse environmental impacts.

You can view the Request for Applications here 

Reminder: the fine for tagging buildings with graffiti has increased from $100 to $500 due to City Council passage and Mayor Cantrell’s signing of an amendment to an Ordinance introduced by CouncIlman Green.

Areas such as along historic Claiborne have been negatively impacted by the destructive work of some selfish people. Anyone writing or drawing on property owned by someone else without that owner’s permission has committed the crime of vandalism. 

Follow NOLA Ready to stay updated on the latest severe weather impacting the area. During a mandatory evacuation, NOLA Ready will send important information by text message and phone call.

50 years ago, Councilman Green served as the elected President of the St. Augustine High School student body. As such, he escorted the Homecoming Queen, Kim Davis, and presided over the Homecoming Court. This weekend, the high school, located in City Council District D, celebrates Homecoming.
