Correspondence and Subject files, 1994-2002

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The records include:

  • a small group of folders relating to the Division's administration of the city's boards and commissions (as noted above, the main body of Boards and Commissions records are described separately).
  • files relating to businesses, agencies, and organizations doing business with, or otherwise in contact with, the Division. files from Cheryl Team. Ms. Teamer started out in 1994 as an assistant to Paul Sens, Mayor Morial's first Executive Assistant for Intergovernmental Relations. She was then responsible for legislative affairs. In 1998 Ms. Teamer succeeded Sens' replacement, Graymond Martin, as the Executive Assistant and served in that capacity through the remainder of the Morial administration. Her files deal largely with the city's legislative coordination effort and with the Division's liaison to other governmental agencies in general.
  • the small group of Criminal Justice records include minutes of Criminal Justice Council meetings during the Morial administration as well as various programs designed to combat crime in the Crescent City during the period. files relating to the Division's relations with other City departments and agencies, including some within the Division itself. files documenting the Division's efforts, largely under the direction of Julie Schwam Harris, to combat domestic violence in the Crescent City.
  • files from Julie Schwam Harris, director of the Office of Public Advocacy. In addition to records relating to the operations and accomplishments of that Office, the records also deal with Ms. Harris's work on the America's Promise project, the Zero Tolerance Commission, and the Strategic Inspection Force initiative. In 2008 Ms. Harris transferred addition records to the Archives; these are inventoried in a separate Addendum. It should be noted that Ms. Harris was one of the Morial staffers retained by C. Ray Nagin when he took office as Mayor in 2002. Several of the Addendum files bridge the two administrations; i.e., they document projects that began under Morial and were concluded under Nagin.
  • files relating to individuals doing business with, or otherwise coming in contact with, the Division. Included are city employees, elected city, state, and federal officials, and a number of private citizens and business people.
  • three separate subject files (the first is labeled "General Files"), apparently maintained separately and thus not merged in the arrangement process, relating to individual projects, programs, and issues with which the Division was concerned. Records of the Division during the tenure of Paul Sens (1994-1996) are described separately.
