REPORT - FROM JONATHAN T. HARRIS, CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE

OFFICER, CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

Brief:

Submitting the Unpaid Judgment Funding Plan required by Ordinance Number 30,030 M.C.S., which is

being provided because there are judgments on the City’s Unpaid Judgment List (“UJL”) that have not

been paid after following the preceding steps required by the ordinance. As of December 31, 2024, the

total principal amount reflected in the list was $89,287,152.45, reflecting 444 outstanding judgments and

an amount roughly equal to eleven percent of the City’s annual General Fund budget, Ord. No. 30,030

M.C.S., requires the Chief Administrative Office to provide a funding plan for satisfying the remaining

outstanding principal balance of the UJL in full by the end of 2027. This funding plan proceeds as

follows: first, it will examine the provisions of Ord. No. 30,030 M.C.S. and the current state of the UJL.

Second, it will highlight the challenges of using the City’s General Fund or Judgment Fund to pay such a

high dollar amount with existing recurring revenue sources. Next, it will survey alternative solutions

such as issuing new debt or using other funding sources. Then this funding plan will recommend a path

forward that enables the City to have the resources available to pay off the UJL, in full, by the end of

2027.

NATIVE AND RECENTLY RETIRED PLAYER

Brief:

In celebration of recently retired New Orleans Saints player Tyrann Mathieu for his contributions to the

Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs and played three seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He began his

football career as a standout athlete at St. Augustine High School and Louisiana State University, where

he earned the nickname “Honey Badger” for his aggressive play and ability to force turnovers. Mathieu’s

legacy includes his commitment to youth mentorship, community service, and representing New Orleans
