(1) One member appointed by the Southeast La. Flood Protection Authority East.
(2) One member appointed by the state senator representing Senate District No. 3 and
Senate District No. 4 and by the state representative representing House District No.
97, House District No. 94, House District No. 99 and two members appointed by the
congressional representative representing Congressional District No. 2. At least one
member appointed is required to be a lawyer, at least one member is required to be
a certified public accountant, and at least one member is required to be a realtor.
(3) One member appointed by the mayor of the city of New Orleans.
(4) One member appointed by each New Orleans city council member in whose district
a non-flood asset is located.

(6) One member appointed by the secretary of the Dept. of Transportation and
Development.
(7) One member appointed by the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation.

New law requires two members appointed by the presidents of the Lakeshore, Lake Vista,
Lake Terrace, and Lake Oaks property owners associations and requires those appointees
reside within the residential boundaries of the Lakeshore, Lake Vista, Lake Terrace, and Lake
Oaks neighborhoods.
New law requires preference be given to the neighborhood with the least number of
representatives appointed for the authority. Also requires nomination and reappointment of
the appointees be determined by a majority vote of the presidents of the property owners
associations.
New law modifies prior law by changing the name of an appointing authority from the Lake
Pontchartrain Basin Foundation to the Pontchartrain Conservancy.
