Kenner council unanimous on routine procurement, insurance and emergency measures; votes at a glance
At its June 30 meeting the Kenner City Council approved a series of ordinances and contract ratifications (ordinances numbered 13,847 through 13,866) by unanimous voice votes (6-0). The items were presented under "acceptance of contracts and similar matters" and included routine and emergency procurements, equipment purchases and two insurance ratifications.

Key approvals included: a $34,100 maintenance/support agreement for the Clerk of Court’s DigiCorp paperless court system (ordinance 13,847); authorization to use a Jefferson Parish contract for rental and installation of generators on an as-needed basis (13,848); the purchase of stainless steel pipes (13,849); renewal of WatchGuard AuthPoint licenses (13,850); rope-rescue equipment for the Kenner Fire Department (13,851); a 12-month subscription for a policies and training management system for the fire department (13,852); screen-printed T-shirts for the fire department (13,853); an emergency replacement pump at Holly Heights (13,855); emergency and annual tree-work contracts (13,856–13,858); a fuel supply contract not to exceed $665,000 annually (13,859); HVAC rooftop units at Exhibition Hall (13,860); a $120,000 grant/matching infrastructure item for Wentwood Skate Park lighting (13,861); ratified emergency demolition of the A.P. Clay Resource Center for $59,333 (13,862); and insurance proposals ratified for the 2025–26 policy year (13,865 and 13,866).

Council discussion on some items was procedural or clarifying. On the ARCO piggyback rental generator item (13,848), council asked whether the Jefferson Parish contract cap and usage were appropriate; staff explained the piggyback gives the city the option to rent larger generators and install them if a permanent unit fails. For the emergency demolition (13,862) staff confirmed the work had already been completed and the ordinance was to authorize payment.

All listed measures were approved by voice vote with no recorded dissent (6-0). Details for each ordinance and the council movers/seconders are cataloged below.
