Mayor-Elect Tom Arceneaux has released early plans for his transition to the Office of the Mayor.
Plans include the final selection and confirmation of transition team members, the review of transition documents provided by current Mayor Adrian Perkins and key meetings with the current
Administration, senior personnel, department heads and public safety chiefs. Arceneaux says, “I want to be ready on day one to tackle the many challenges that face the City of Shreveport. In
addition to our internal transition efforts, I will coordinate with civic, business, and faith-based leadership to deploy an external long-range transition survey.” According to Arceneaux, this long-
range transition survey is intended to gather critical information on major issues such as cross-community relations, impediments to local business, and citizen driven solutions for public safety.
The announcement of the Arceneaux Transition Team will occur by press release on December 14, 2022. “I want to be deliberate and intentional about how I approach my transition and the first days of my administration. It is very important to me that we include as many different voices as possible, and maintain the highest level of efficiency and professionalism while doing the people’s business.
We will continue to keep the public informed throughout this ongoing process. Transparency will remain a hallmark of my administration,” concludes Arceneaux.
