Can someone explain this?




Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "I do have to comment on this":

Some one posted this as a comment under the Teep story, and it confused the HELL out of me:

"Daya Naef works for the City Attorney's office:

Notarial Archives
NA #2007-66876
NA #2008-38835
NA #2009-24675
NA #2008-47726
NA #2008-36802
NA #2008-36801"

WTF? How does a person go about looking up what these numbers mean?

How could Daya Naef be working for the City Attorney if she was also working for HSOA subsidiaries in cases against the city, or working as their agent as they got those city contracts?

That's even more messed up than the possible conflict of interest that she and her husband might have.

Would these documents be the things the other Anon poster told us Naef was signing up in Brenda Breaux's office?

Is it wrong to even ask these questions now? I don't like feeling bullied into not asking. I'd like to know what is going on.

BE Posse: I have no idea if Naef was signing things in Brenda Breaux's office, and I have no idea what this string of numbers means or what it might prove. But I'd like to know. Care to explain?

I'm not sure what is in those Notarial Archive documents....I have no idea. Could someone provide access to them or provide a digital form of the documents? I'm ASSUMING that they may be signed by Mrs. Naef. If that is the case would that confirm that she is performing work for the city attorney's office? And more importantly....if that is the case....does this constitute a conflict of interest?

If you go to their site and pay $50, I think you can get access to these documents online.

NA means Notarial Archives.

Someone needs an online account to print or post these documents. The documents listed do indeed show that Daya Naef is signing on behalf of the City and blight buster program. There is another bigger potential problem that has red flags all over the place if someone looks. The "JF" donations by the City should ring a huge bell. Naef also represents JF and was until AZ begain posting info the registered agent for JF.

Great job AZ.

You want to talk about some dirty deals...

Why did the City of New Orleans give these properties away?

(filed April 6-9 2009)

Clara St. 1300. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

Clara St. 1304-06. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

Euterpe St. 2131. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

S. Rampart St. 1225. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

Simon Boliver Ave. 1234. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

Thalia St. 2730. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

Thalia St. 2817. City of New Orleans to New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc., donation, no value stated.

One wonders just who is “New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited Inc.”

Fortunately, the LA Secretary of State is willing to oblige:

Charter/Organization ID: 35770157N

Name: NEW ORLEANS REDEVELOPMENT UNLIMITED, INC.
Charter/Organization ID: 35770157N

Name: NEW ORLEANS REDEVELOPMENT UNLIMITED, INC.

Type Entity: Non-Profit Corporation

Status: Active

Annual Report Status: In Good Standing

Last Report Filed on 08/28/2008

Mailing Address: C/O JOSEPH E. WILLIAMS, 1340 POYDRAS STREET, SUITE 600, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70112

Domicile Address: 1340 POYDRAS STREET, SUITE 1152, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70112

File Date: 08/30/2004

Registered Agent (Appointed 9/19/2007): JOSEPH E. WILLIAMS, 1340 POYDRAS STREET, SUITE 600, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70112

Director: PAUL T. WEST, 2523 ORLEANS AVENUE, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70119

Director: WAYNE WOODS, 6600 PLAZA DRIVE, SUITE 212, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70128

Director: JAMES GRAY, III, 1100 POYDRAS STREET, SUITE 2620, NEW ORLEANS, LA 70112

So here we have a “non profit” that the city is just giving property to. Why? Those in the know are invited to comment.

Oh yeah, Shelley Midura didn't want to touch this with a ten foot pole. She claimed she tried to look into it, but wasn't successful, or wasn't willing.

JF? Who or what is JF?

Is this part of the Naef/ Juan La Fonta connection that never got fully explained? Is JF the Jaeger Foundation?

Daya Naef IS signing things on behalf of the city and the blight buster program! Amazing!

What neighbourhoods are the homes Naef is signing about in? Do the houses get demolished? Who ends up owning them?

Funny, the T-P story that mentioned Ellis & Naef, the one about the crime cameras, said that Ellis had done some side work for Benetech (as if that was no big deal).

Do you remember those BE Posse posts where they got hot under the collar denying any connection between them & the IT scandal related companies? Now they admit it in the Times Picayune!

Go Zombie Go!

I hope this "New Orleans Redevelopment Unlimited, Inc." Joe Williams is not the same as the Joe Williams who was/is the Ex. Dir. of NORA.

That would be too damn much.

JF=Jaeger Foundation

Naef=Jaeger Foundation is represented by Daya Naef per Civil District Court. Please see case number 2008-07327 E-07 Olivera Baumgartner Jackson versus Norris Loeb et al where Daya J. Naef is the listed attorney of record for the Jaeger Foundation.

I think someone in the past has noted on this site Naef is also registered agent for service for the Jaeger Foundation. On 5/19/2009 they replaced the registered agent Daya Naef with someone else according to La Sec of State website tonight.

The Jaeger Foundation has been the proud donee of at least 50 properties by the donor city of n.o.

Juan LaFonta is Daya Naef's attorney. 2008-08511 J-13 and 2007-16157

Those properties are nice and close to the new Muses development, not a bad place to be if that section "revitalizes."

Is there any way for folks who know how to do this to post links to the documents being refered to?

This is why I advocate for governmental transparency. In a better world we could just click and download the pertinent pdf.
