Mayor Sharon Weston Broome’s administration is rebidding a contract to manage public parking downtown, more than 18 months after former Mayor Kip Holden’s administration awarded the contract to an Atlanta-based team, Park Baton Rouge


I guess the wrong people got the job?

Chief Administrative Officer Darryl Gissel says after more than a year of studying the proposed Park Baton Rouge contract—which was never executed—the Broome administration has decided to revise the strategy, which will require drafting new procurement documents and rebidding the contract.

I'm sure that study cost a year's worth of revenue generation.

Must be nice to work in an environment where delivering results is no where near the expectation. In fact when you royally frick up your employers dont even notice because normal.

Broome can't make a decision without hiring her trusty consulting firm to do a study.

If nothing else the city lost money by not maintaining or repairing meters downtown in the past year.

Lots of them don’t work so they can’t collect change for parking or write tickets for meter violations.

What happened to someone just gathering facts and making a decision?? Passing the buck to the consulting firm in case (when) something goes wrong?

Remember who you're dealing with.

This is the woman who hired Troy Bell without even bothering to check his background with a simple internet search.
