R.S. 33:9080(B), in the amount of three hundred fifty dollars, for eight years, beginning January 1, 2027 and ending December 31, 2034, which is estimated to generate $98,000 annually, to be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the beautification, security, and overall betterment of the District, except a 1% City collection fee, and if used for additional law enforcement or security personnel and their services, such personnel and services shall be supplemental to and not in lieu of personnel and services provided by the New Orleans Police Department?

Background
The City of New Orleans sought Louisiana State Bond Commission approval for this parcel fee election; it was item L26-094 on the Commission's April 16, 2026 agenda.
According to the proposition text filed with the Secretary of State, the fee would be $350 a year on each improved parcel in the district (defined in La. R.S. 33:9080(B)) for 2027 through 2034, estimated to raise $98,000 a year.
The text says the money would go only to beautification, security and betterment of the district, minus a 1% city collection fee. Any added security or law enforcement personnel would supplement, not replace, New Orleans Police Department services.
