Senate Bill No. 380, introduced by Senator Carter, establishes the Real Timbers Crime Prevention and Improvement District in Orleans Parish as a political subdivision aimed at enhancing the beautification, security, and overall betterment of the area. The district's boundaries are defined by specific streets, and it will be governed by a seven-member board of commissioners, which includes officers from the Real Timbers Homeowners Association and three additional members appointed from the district's residents. The appointed members will serve staggered five-year terms, and the board will have the authority to adopt rules, conduct meetings, and manage the district's affairs.

The bill also authorizes the city of New Orleans to impose a parcel fee, not exceeding $315 per year per parcel, subject to voter approval. This fee will be collected similarly to ad valorem taxes and is intended to fund security and beautification efforts within the district. The bill stipulates that the fee can be renewed every five years with voter consent and mandates that the district's board adopt an annual budget subject to audit. Additionally, it clarifies that any law enforcement services funded by the fee are supplementary to those provided by the New Orleans Police Department. If the district is dissolved, any remaining funds will be transferred to the city for continued support of the district's objectives.
