House Bill No. [insert number] enacts R.S. 33:9091.28 to establish the Tall Timbers Crime Prevention and Improvement District in Orleans Parish. This district is created as a political subdivision of the state, encompassing all lots within Sections 2 through 10 of the Tall Timbers Subdivision. The primary purpose of the district is to aid in crime prevention and enhance the quality of life for residents through beautification and other improvement activities. Governance of the district will be managed by a nine-member board of commissioners, which includes members from the Tall Timbers Owners Association, and the board will have the authority to adopt rules, manage funds, and oversee district operations.

The bill also authorizes the city of New Orleans to impose and collect a parcel fee within the district, subject to voter approval. The initial fee will not exceed $230 per year per parcel for the first two years, increasing to a maximum of $250 in subsequent years. The fee will be collected alongside city ad valorem taxes and will be used exclusively for the district's purposes. Additionally, the district may accept voluntary contributions and grants, and it is subject to audit by the legislative auditor. The bill includes provisions for indemnification of board members and outlines the responsibilities of the district in relation to security and improvement services.
