KLEEMAN AND GREGORY J. MCDONALD NO. 2018-CA-0846 VERSUS CITY OF NEW ORLEANS BROWN, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS. I write separately to acknowledge the overall impact this decision will have on the City of New Orleans (the “City) as a result of repayment of the fees and fines collected from the issuance of ATES tickets. As noted by the majority, DPW’s enforcement of traffic regulations, pursuant to ATES ordinances, was in violation of the City’s home charter rule. As a result of the invalid ordinances, the affected citizenry, who were erroneously mandated to pay the City these fees and fines, are entitled to be made whole.
