NEW ORLEANS- Councilmember Palmer is seriously concerned with the recent request from Entergy New Orleans (ENO) to increase rates for its customers, particularly those who live in Algiers.

Councilmember Palmer is hosting her first Coffee and Conversation with Kristin tomorrow, July 13th from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Congregation Coffee in Algiers. 

July is an important month for District C as I continue moving forward with making changes to the city’s Short-Term Rental (STR) program. My office has received numerous phone calls and emails from you about the two STR motions approved by the Council back in May.

In this newsletter, I’m addressing some of your questions by clarifying the three categories of STR licenses issued by the city. 

First of all, let me just say that I’m thrilled to be back and serving District C. Since taking office three weeks ago, I have hit the ground running and working to fulfill several of my campaign promises. I tackled the city’s short-term rental program at the first regularly scheduled council meeting. My approved motions are the first step toward changing how we issue permits and who can receive them. In addition, the City Planning Commission will be required to include community feedback by hosting a public hearing as part of the process to revamp the program.
