Palmer showed up late:

At 7 p.m., an hour after the meeting began, Palmer (pictured left, with NOPD Lt. Derek Frick) came in, offering apologies. “The mayor has asked that we put together a working group to review this issue,” she said, adding she had met with members of the TBC Brass Band and French Quarter homeowners separately about the issue, but had come to no conclusions as to how the city should proceed. She stressed that “we need to put our emotions in the back seat and have good decision-making. … I didn’t want to sit here and throw an ordinance out; I didn’t want to create one quickly.”

Asked how the working group was progressing, Palmer said, “Nothing has been finalized.”

“It doesn’t sound like it’s been started.”

“That’s exactly right,” Palmer said frankly.
