On August 24, 2015, Jefferson Parish Office of Inspector General, (JPOIG) David N. McClintock wrote a letter to the Jefferson Parish Council regarding the 53.1 Million Dollars in BP settlement funds due to Jefferson Parish. In this letter he recommended the funds be handled within the Parish’s financial system in a manner that fully supports and facilitates transparency. To that end, the request was made for a specific project number and specific revenue account number be created exclusively for BP Settlement Funds.
