Marshall Truehill When members of the Planning Commission, its staff, and the consultant team ﬁ rst asked one another if New Orleans’ Plan for the 21st Century should include a dedication, the answer was immediate and unanimous: The plan should be dedicated to the memory and life of the Reverend Marshall Truehill, Jr. Marshall, who grew up in New Orleans’ Calliope public housing development, inspired New Orleanians from every neighborhood and livelihood to understand each other better and to work together for a better city. A lifelong advocate for public housing residents, pastor of an interracial congregation, chair of the City Planning Commission, and founding member of City-Works, an organization that fosters civic engagement, Marshall moved all of us who worked on this plan to pursue an equal commitment to “every person and every place” in New Orleans. He was deeply committed to inclusive planning, and planning team members were honored to be present when Marshall received his Ph.D. in planning from the University of New Orleans in December, 2008.

ATTN: BAR and BUSINESS OWNERS Proposed
ATTN: BAR AND BUSINESS OWNERS Proposed Ordinance Requires All Alcoholic Beverage Outlets Install Federally Monitored Surveillance Cameras, Weakens Protections For Businesses What is it? Ordinance #32,107, proposed by Councilwomen Stacy Head at the request of Mayor Landrieu. What does it do? 1) Requires all Alcoholic Beverage Outlets (ABOs) to install exterior surveillance cameras that are monitored 24/7 by the NOPD and ‘security partners’, including Homeland Security and the FBI. If the ordinance passes, businesses will likely lose their alcohol license if they do not comply. 2) If an ABO is convicted of a violation, even for litter, they could be forced to install interior surveillance cameras as well. These cameras would also be monitored. 3) All footage would be uploaded and saved to a ‘Cloud’ based system for a minimum of two weeks, with no maximum time limit. This footage could also be used as evidence against a business if they are accused of any violations. 4) Business owners would be forced to pay for the cameras, installation, and data storage. This would likely exceed $600 per camera, plus a recurring monthly fee. 5) It changes the complaint system against alcoholic beverage outlets. If this ordinance passes, 5 written complaints within a half mile radius could trigger review by the ABO Board. This would make it much easier for the city to close any ABO. How can we stop it? Currently, the ordinance is scheduled for public comment and a vote at the January 11th City Council meeting. That meeting will be held at Orleans Parish School Board offices at 3520 General DeGaulle Drive in Algiers.
