Mayor says American Cruise Lines will present plan for Rivertown docking facility; council lists agreement for first reading
Summary
Kenner’s mayor announced that American Cruise Lines intends to present a proposal to build and operate a docking facility in historic Rivertown; the cooperative endeavor agreement appeared on the council’s Aug. 7 agenda for first reading as Item 16(f).
Kenner’s mayor told the City Council on Aug. 7 that American Cruise Lines intends to present a proposal to build and operate a docking facility in historic Rivertown and that representatives will appear at a future meeting to make a presentation.
The mayor made the announcement early in the meeting and the city’s first-reading agenda later included Item 16(f), described as “an ordinance approving a cooperative endeavor agreement with American Cruise Lines Incorporated for the construction and operation of a docking facility in historic Rivertown.” The item was listed for first reading; no council vote on the agreement occurred at the Aug. 7 meeting.
Council members did not debate the substance of the agreement at the Aug. 7 session. The mayor invited interested members of the public to attend the meeting when American Cruise Lines representatives appear to present details.
Because Item 16(f) was presented only as a first-reading matter, no formal actions, financial terms, or schedule were approved at this meeting. The clerk read the list of first-reading items as part of the agenda; the cooperative endeavor agreement will return to the council for further consideration and public discussion when company representatives present their proposal.
