The ballot measure has been a major point of contention between the Cantrell administration and the measure's lead sponsor, Councilman JP Morrell.
Mayor Cantrell has signed a $1.3 million contract with a non-profit to provide behavioral health crisis response services.
It’s unclear when the contract will come back for consideration before the council, but the BioDistrict hopes it will come up as soon as Oct. 20.
The proposal would send new sales tax growth in the district to its unelected board, raising concerns from neighborhood groups.
The proposal would more than triple the number of city crime cameras in the neighborhood.
Under the law, the city must get a market appraisal in order to make an offer on the homes. But houses in Gordon Plaza are not worth much on the market.
Though the board still needs to finalize a contract, board members said Williams would be the first permanent female superintendent of the district.
The council is planning to rebid a contract to do a management audit into Entergy New Orleans, after the first bid received zero responses.
The City Council will also consider a non-binding resolution encouraging the city government to use 100 percent renewable energy for city buildings and operations by 2025.
A proposal under consideration by the Cantrell administration would create a city-led internet service and lead to the installation of thousands of ‘smart’ devices that could collect data on residents.
