A controversial contract between the Jefferson Parish Council and a consultant advising it on the leasing of West Jefferson Medical Center could be amended to ensure the parish gets what it pays for. The contract has been criticized by the parish’s inspector general.
The council has called a special meeting for Thursday to discuss and probably approve changes to the contract with Pennsylvania-based financial consultant Josh Nemzoff that would change the agreement from a flat monthly fee to one that pays Nemzoff by the hour for his services.
