Danielson says tonight’s meeting for council, developer conversation only
No amendments, no conditions, no questions
No questions from public like in other meetings
Public only to be allowed general comment at end of meeting
MANDEVILLE — In a surprise move, Councilman at Large and Acting Council Chairman Rick Danielson kicked off tonight’s (July 24th) Sucette Harbor special meeting by announcing a change in format, halting any new amendments or conditions from benign offered by his fellow council members.
The move comes after the last special meeting where the developer suffered a major setback when the council amended Ordinance 23-16 to cut the number of apartments in half, going from 178 down to 90.
It’s time to start voting on these things and move this thing forward.
— Councilman at Large Jason Zuckerman
Councilman at Large Zuckerman bristled at the announcement telling Danielson he would prefer to keep moving forward with new amendments and conditions as originally planned.
“I’m not in favor of taking a pause and backtracking… I’m ready to keep moving forward with discussion on amendments,” Zuckerman said.
Danielson said he would still allow comments from the public, time permitting, at the end of the meeting.
This is a developing story.

Rick is attempting to salvage the process . If he doesn’t proceed with caution our city will possibly be subjected to financial losses. Just look at the results of the Port Marigny project.
