Mayor Landrieu to Hold Series of Community Meetings
For Immediate Release
08/06/2013
NEW ORLEANS, LA—Today, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced a
series of community meetings in each council district to discuss 2014
budget priorities beginning with District C on Tuesday, August 13. These
meetings are designed to gather input as part of the Budgeting for
Outcomes process.
“We're committed to producing results for our citizens and sticking to
our budgeting principles- cut smart, reorganize, and invest in the
future,” said Mayor Mitch Landrieu, “The community meetings allow
citizens to tell us their priorities for the budget.”
The Budgeting for Outcomes process aims to produce a more citizen-driven
budget and to ensure improved government performance and
accountability. A national best practice, the Budgeting for Outcomes
system encourages city agencies to invest public resources based on the
end result the City wants to achieve.
The Mayor will host one meeting with the district councilmember in each
council district. The Mayor and Councilmembers will be joined by Deputy
Mayors, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas, NOFD Superintendent Tim
McConnell and department and agency heads.
All community meetings will start at 6:00 p.m. Prior to the meeting,
from 5:30 -6:00 p.m., the City will host a Resource Center with
representatives from several City departments and agencies. During that
time, citizens will have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with various
departments about programs, initiatives and specific concerns.
