Mandeville council approves PILOT to preserve Rouquette Lodge as senior housing
Summary
The Mandeville City Council unanimously approved Resolution 26-09 on Feb. 26 authorizing a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) for Rouquette Lodge (4300-4310 Hwy. 22) so the property can remain affordable senior-focused housing after sale from an Archdiocese-controlled entity; the sale is scheduled for March 11.
The Mandeville City Council on Feb. 26 unanimously adopted Resolution 26-09 to authorize a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) for Rouquette Lodge, 4300-4310 Hwy. 22, to enable its continued operation as affordable senior-focused housing after a pending change in ownership.
Councilman Scott Discon moved to adopt the resolution and Councilman Kevin Vogeltanz seconded the motion; the vote was recorded as unanimous. The meeting record notes the Archdiocese of New Orleans is selling the property amid bankruptcy proceedings and that the purchaser enrolled the property in a PILOT arrangement for tax purposes. Council added the resolution to the agenda earlier in the meeting as a time-sensitive item because the sale is scheduled for March 11.
The action gives the city authority to execute the PILOT agreement the purchaser requires to preserve the property's affordable senior housing mission following transfer from a tax-exempt Archdiocese-controlled entity to private ownership. The council did not record additional conditions or a finance breakdown in the meeting minutes.
The resolution was adopted as presented. The city did not announce further implementation steps at the meeting; the sale and any resulting PILOT agreement remain subject to the closing expected March 11.
