A
Have
no
report
mr.
Barrett
will
move
into
the
crux
of
the
agenda.
We'll
start
with
citizen
comments.
Do
I
have
any
comments
to
anyone
out
here
on
my
left-hand
side,
your
right
hand,
side
of
the
room,
anybody
with
comments
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
room
where
your
left-hand
side
of
the
room,
they're
bringing
no
comments,
we'll
move
forward
with
the
agenda
itself,
and
this
is
a
workshop
for
the
mayor
of
the
council
to
discuss
matters
regarding
the
fiscal
year.
Ending
September,
30th,
2020
I
understand
mr.
Leonard,
you
have
an
update.
C
All
right,
this
is
where
I
get
to
talk.
Yes,
sir
sorry
I
wasn't
paying
attention.
We
have
presented
all
the
department
budgets
in
the
previous
workshops
except
two,
so
my
intent
would
be
to
start
with
that,
lasso
that
we
haven't
done
and
then
move
to
the
non
department
budget.
If
that
would
be
okay,
that's
fine!
You
are
I
want
to
point
out
at
your
place
is
a
two-page
summary
of
the
department
budgets.
C
C
Each
of
the
department
heads
would
be
here
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
about
the
changes
that
we
made,
but
essentially
what
we
did
was
move
a
lot
of
cash
out
of
at
capital,
equipment,
budget
out
of
capital
equipment
items
and,
and
we
had
some
position
changes.
All
of
this
was
done
to
try
and
get
the
budget
closer
to
being
balanced.
C
Today,
those
last
two
departments
they'll
take
up
would
be
the
administrative
department
and
the
executive
department,
all
the
rest
of
them
have
been
covered
and
are
reflected
in
what
you
have
up
there.
So
let
me
start
with
the
administrative
department,
not
a
lot
to
say
it
changes
and
we
propose
changes
from
3.4
million
to
3.5
million
in
the
administrative
department.
C
C
C
C
Writing
it's
the
account
we
use
to
pay
for
architectural
services,
so
we've
increased
that
to
closer
to
what
we're
paying
what
where
we
ended
this
year,
it
seemed
like
we
had
to
come
back
to
you
about
three
times
in
the
last
year
for
more
money
for
other
professional
services,
so
we've
increased
that
to
what
we
think
is
the
right
number
and
the
other
major
increase
in
the
inmense
tree
of
budget
is
the
rent
cost
for
the
post
office.
As
you
know,
we
have
both
the
second
and
the
third
floor
of
the
post
office.
C
The
third
floor
is
occupied
by
the
accounting
department
and
also
by
Human
Resources.
The
second
floor
is
still
vacant
and
as
part
of
our
original
lease
that
came
to
us
as
an
option
which,
which
is
you
know,
it's
ours
and
it's
ours-
to
pay
for
now
starting
this
year,
not
something
we
can
wiggle
out
of
and
we
will
aggressively,
try
and
find
a
tenant
to
move
into
that
second
floor.
C
Remember
also
that
when
we,
when
we
moved
into
the
the
post
office,
we
did
so
out
of
the
old
library
so
the
offset
so
far
and
in
this
in
this
last
current
budget,
your
the
the
rent
payment
for
the
old
library
exceeds
the
amount
of
rent
that
we're
paying
at
the
post
office.
That'll
flip
this
year
and
actually
we'll
be
paying
a
little
more
for
the
post
office
than
we
pay
for
our
being
paid
for
rent
out
of
the
out
of
the
library.
C
E
C
E
C
Rectory,
that's
is
used
by
the
fire
department
and
up
until
the
end
of
this
year,
we're
also
we're
also
clearing
about
three
thousand
dollars
a
month
on
the
Magnolia
Hotel
over
what
we're
paying
for
the
new
Margo
Museum.
So
some
of
the
other
properties
that
would
have
made
moves
on
or
actually
making
that
up,
they.
D
C
Tel,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
the
rent
is
three
thousand
dollars
more
than
we're
paying
for
the
Mardi
Gras
Museum
now
for
their
management
agreement,
we're
also
you
know,
we
know
how
don't
have
any
utility
costs.
No
elevator
costs,
no
maintenance
costs
for
the
building.
All
that
went
away.
So
it
was.
E
E
We
originally
talked
about
the
need
to
maybe
put
the
courts
there.
You
know
with
that.
You
know
parking
is
a
big
issue
where
we
all
right
now
and
in
some
other
storage
and
impossibly
IT
on
that
floor,
or
even
on
the
third
floor.
So
we're
researching
what
we
you
know.
We
could
probably
rent
that
square
feet.
If
somebody
wants
a
like
a
new
company
come
into
town,
we're
paying
seven
dollars
a
square
foot
for
it
and
that's
a
pretty
good
price.
G
C
E
E
Gonna
be
winning
of
some
things
with
that
kind
of
service,
whether
it's
this
particular
firm
or
whether
it's
any
other
firm
we're
going
to
be
in
need
of
some
support
in
Jackson
during
the
the
so
we're
budgeting.
What
we
think
getting
out
of
commitment
just
got
a
plan
on
how
we
do
we're
not
hung
up
on
that
price
that
we've
engaged.
You
know
those
services
right
now,
so
we're
just
budgeting
that
amount
for
representation.
You
know
we've
got
some
FEMA
Mima
issues
going
on
as
well
as
the
next
year's
legislature
legislative
session.
D
Yeah,
oh
no
I
was
just
looking
that's
a
new
sheet
to
give
us
most
of
this
is
salaries,
always
positions.
We
not
feel
filling
you
just
subtract
and
that,
from
this
book
the
original
light,
the
pot
of
autumn
is
full
$500,000
that
there's
jobs,
you're,
not
filling
that's
different
from
the
world
last
time,
but
at
nine
seventy
six
you
got
Pablo
won
one.
C
Of
the
things
we
talked
about
last
workshop
was
the
fact
that
all
of
our
departments
run
with
vacancies
during
the
year.
It's
just
the
nature
of
the
business.
That's
especially
true
in
the
fire
department
and
police.
Most
of
both
of
those
departments
is
a
long
lead
time
to
fill
positions.
So
you
know
we
go
through
the
year
with
vacancies,
and
some
in
one
of
the
places
where
we
drive
down
expenses
during
the
year
is
not
filling
those
vacancies
immediately.
C
C
D
Going
through
the
first
ones
at
the
beginning,
that's
why
I
notice
those
difference.
It's
a
big
difference
at
the
beginning,
so
I
was
just
trying
to
be
head
and
see
them
all
I'm
a
different.
If
you
have
totally
from
what
we
had
miss
sheet
here,
that
is,
she
was
a
total
different
of
savings.
A
less
amount
of
you.
C
So
it's
just
an
accounting,
different
accounting
methodology,
but
it's
more
accurate.
Compared
to
what
the
auditors
tell
us.
We
should
do
so.
The
next
time
you
see
these
numbers
they
will.
They
will
look
a
little
different,
but
that
bottom
line
is
going
to
be
the
same.
The
bottom
line
in
terms
of
ending
cash
balance
will
be
the
same.
It's
just
that
you're
going
to
see
more
expense
and
more
revenue,
and
it's
just
that
just
an
accounting
sleight
of
hand.
E
C
E
C
Capital
lease
a
capital
lease
we're
leasing
with
the
intent
to
own
it.
Then
you
really
need
to.
As
it's
been
explained
to
us,
you
need
to
account
for
the
capital
cost
the
capital.
You
need
to
capitalize
the
item
at
the
time
that
the
agreement
is
executed,
so
I
mean
we'll
move
into
that
fire
station
in
November,
but
we
won't
actually
own
it
for
fifteen
years.
C
D
D
E
C
A
B
Me
go
back.
Let
me
go
back
to
the
administration
just
for
a
moment
and
make
an
observation,
and
that
is
for
the
reasons
you
mentioned.
Mr.
Leonard
I'm
glad
you
broke
out
what
the
cost
were
for
services
and
contractual
services
that
accounted
that
answered.
One
of
the
questions
I
have
I'm
wondering
in
any
given
month
or
a
typical
month
or
day
for
that
matter.
We
have
about
600
615
employees.
B
We
always
have
positions
empty
I'm,
roughly
how
many
positions
in
any
given
time
on
average
are
empty
and
it's
a
rhetorical
question
simply
because
it
means
you
don't
have
a
hundred
percent
of
your
manpower
employed
and
then
you
have
folks
who
are
ill
and
then
you
have
folks
who
are
on
leave
or
on
vacation
or
whatever.
So,
even
though
you
budget
for
whatever
that
hundred
percent
is
on
any
given
day,
you
might
be
looking
I'm
guessing
it
95
92
percent
of
the
folks
I'm
just
pulling
that
out
of
thin
air
I,
don't
know!
B
Multiply
that
times
an
average
salary,
and
that
varies
so
you
we're
not
paying
that
money
out.
That
helps
us
a
little
bit
to
conserve
some
of
our
funds.
But
what
it
also
means
is
if
you're
short
firefighters
are
you're
short
officers
on
the
beat.
That
means
additional
overtime,
which
is
always
more
costly
than
just
hiring
an
additional
person
or
two,
but.
B
There's
we're
on
tear
on
the
vehicle
and
wear
and
tear
on
the
individual,
but
I
guess
my
my
point
is
in
looking
at
the
percentage
of
our
budget.
That's
been
on
personnel
cost
in
2013
it
was
68
percent
and
now
we're
up
to
73
percent,
and
what
that
tells
me
is,
in
our
revenues,
been
pretty
much
level.
What
that
tells
me
as
we
trim
we're
trimming
things
other
than
our
personnel.
That's
why
your
personnel
consumes
a
greater
percentage
of
the
budget,
yet
we
still
run
vacancies
and
and
with
those
personnel
costs.
B
D
Question
back
on
the
employees:
according
to
the
audit
book
2018
we
had
609
employees,
I,
don't
count
everybody
609,
you
know
laughs.
You
had
been
609
on
606
611
before
that
was
in
a
500
592
net.
So
how
many
more
people
have
to
add
to
the
609?
I?
Don't
know
that
counts,
elected
officials,
anybody
else
the
609
should
be
2
people
to
actually
working
for
the
city
of
blocks.
All
the
time.
C
C
D
Our
time
so
I'll
cut
the
more
we
get
ready
to
have
the
interest
meeting.
I
need
to
find
out
how
many
people
actually
have
on
the
instruct
full-time
people
that
we
on
our
insurance
program.
Those
are
things
we
gotta
look
at
tomorrow.
How
far
just
to
seeing
this
was
609,
so
I
know
is
I
know
it's
more
people
net
counted,
sits
in
the
elected
officials
8
in
elected
officials.
Who
else
is
not
in
there
yep.
C
Well,
since
you
brought
up
Medical,
let
me
let
me
just
dive
in
there
just
for
a
second
you,
you
will
have
all
gotten
the
diagram
that
I
do
quarterly.
That
shows
where
we
are
in
the
year
right
now,
the
one
that
I
handed
out
for
the
end
of
June
showed
that
we
were
running
three
hundred
thousand
claims
running
above
contributions
that
that
has
grown
to
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
now
by
the
end
of
July.
C
We're
estimating
right
now
best
estimate
we've
got.
Is
that
we're
going
to
probably
over
run
our
budget
by
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
350
to
400
thousand
that's
going
to
come
out
of
the
general
fund
at
the
end
of
the
year.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
you'll
struggle
with
I'm
sure
at
the
insurance
meeting
tomorrow.
This
is
the
first
year
since
I've
been
here
that
we
actually
didn't
went,
went
over
the
budget.
C
We've
come
very
close
and
remember
in
the
in
the
last
year
we
ended
the
year
with
240,000
the
good
the
year
before
that
46,000
to
the
good,
then
41,000,
the
good
44
20,000
good
this
year,
we're
gonna
end
up
350
to
the
bad
and
actual
costs
350,000,
and
that's
that's.
Why?
That's
because
we've
had
a
lot
of
very
big
claims
this
year
and
and
our
costs
are
up
that.
E
E
G
A
A
C
It's
both
and
on
the
cost
per
claims.
Some
of
the
claims
that
are
you
know
like
two
hundred
fifty
three
hundred
four
hundred
thousand
we've
had
some
that
are
that
much.
In
those
cases,
those
individual
cases-
reinsurance
kicks
in
at
a
certain
level,
and
we
get
some
money
back
well.
Reinsurance
also
kicks
in.
When
we
go
over
120
percent
of
of
our
budget,
which
I
don't
think
we'll
get
there.
C
C
A
C
E
A
B
On
the
B
news,
my
understanding
is
I
know
we
passed
a
resolution
in
January
and-
and
we've
talked
about
this
a
little
earlier,
but
I
just
I'm
still
trying
to
get
it
right
in
my
mind,
because
I'm,
not
a
I'm,
not
a
CPA
like
mr.
McKeon
and
I've,
talked
with
him
and
understand
that
things
have
to
be
done.
A
certain
way.
I
can't
accounting-wise,
so
you've
got
expenses
and
revenue
and
that,
but
there
is
no
single
account
for
be
news.
B
In
other
words,
if
it
was
me
at
home,
I'd
list
a
column
of
what
revenue
I'm
bringing
in
for
B
news
what
sales
are
making
and
how
that
money
is
being
spent.
But,
as
we
talked
about
last
time,
it
appears
it
appears
in
revenue
generated
from
sales,
but
doesn't
include
the
money
and
other
budgets
that
were
used
to
pay
for
some
of
those
publications
like
the.
F
B
Using
it
so
what
happens
at
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
if
they
sell
a
ton
of
if
they
sell
three
adds
years
worth
of
ads
at
whatever
and
they
generate
$30,000,
and
here
we
are
in
August
and
they're,
going
to
run
ads
for
the
mayor,
the
mayor's
business.
So
you
purchase
advertising
for
a
year
and
and
you
pay
them
ten
thousand,
and
that
goes
into
the
revenue
at
this
point
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
two
months
from
now
at
the
end
of
September,
what
happens
to
that
money?
E
It
is
going
to
general
five-spoke
to
the
general
fund,
I
mean
if
you
look
at
as
a
project
which
I
think
this
is
a
system.
The
intent
was.
If
you
use
that
nd
what
540
you
look
at
everything
nd
found
40
object
code
y
6,
whatever
that
number
is,
and
you
can
see
that
the
cost
of
that
operation
cost
us
some
money,
but
it
was
also
offset
by
the
things
that
other
departments
don't
do
not
need
to
advertise
and
you
know
send
out
so
I.
E
B
B
C
B
D
Job
which
I'll
explain
to
his
left,
because
77,000
you're
collecting
for
have
a
child
and
put
the
three
thousand
come
out
as
a
everybody.
The
budget
wasn't
her
in
thirty
thousand,
but
then
you
said
they
had
that
half
percent
fee
that
was
putting
back
into
that
account
from
the
B
news
and
I
mean
from
the
TV
or
something
yeah.
C
B
C
D
C
D
C
What
it's
running
right
now
today,
but
I,
can't
tell
you
what
it's
gonna
run
to
the
end
of
the
year:
I,
don't
know
how
much
ads
we're
gonna
sell
the
end
of
the
year.
I.
Think
I
said
a
few
minutes
ago
when
I
last
look
at
it
was
a
hundred
twenty
hundred,
thirty
thousand
in
cost
and
about
$75,000
in
collections.
I
last
saw
it
so
see.
It
might
know
that
number
better
than
I
do.
But
it's
not
it's
not
too
far
off.
H
What
we
came
to
you
and
said
was
is
that
we
want
to
put
out
a
monthly
newsletter.
The
way
we
wanted
to
put
out
the
monthly
newsletter
was
we
wanted
to
take
money
from
the
Community
Development
Department
that
we
must
spend
on
a
newsletter.
We
want
to
take
money
from
the
Public
Works
Department
for
the
water
quality
report
and
we
wanted
to
take
money
from
Main
Street.
That
does
a
monthly
calendar
that
went
to
about
a
thousand
people.
H
So
when
you
add
all
up
that
money,
it
comes
out
to
be
about
fifty
or
sixty
thousand
dollars.
She
knows
it
to
the
exact
penny.
The
other
thing
that
we
said
was
is:
if
we
get
that
money,
we
will
go
out
and
sell
advertising
and
we
might
sell
like
maybe
we
would
hope,
like
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
dollars
worth
of
advertising,
because
the
question
we
got
is
what
is
its
thing
than
a
cost?
We
thought
it
would
cost
about
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
month.
What
happens
is
some
months?
H
It
costs
more
than
that
it
might
cost
$18,000
the
reason
it
costs
eighteen
thousand
dollars
is
because
postage
is
four
thousand
alone.
Design
is
about
twenty
five
hundred
and
then
the
printing
after
that,
so
what
we
did
was
we
would
go
out
and
sell
advertising,
and
some
advertising
that
we
sell
requires
us
to
have
more
space
in
the
newsletter,
so
we're
stuck
at
a
one
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollar
budget
whenever
our
expenses
are
going
to
be
higher
because
we
have
to
give
more
advertising
in
now.
H
The
figure
that
came
up
two
weeks
ago
when
I
wasn't
here,
I
was
out
of
town
y'all
said
that
we're
looking
at
expenses
of
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
and
we've
only
taken
in
seventy
thousand.
We
took
in
seventy
thousand
as
I've
been
today.
Where
are
we
we're
at
eighty
three
right
now
we're
waiting
on
ten
thousand
from
Biloxi
Public
Schools?
The
invoice
is
going
out
today
we're
waiting
on
ten
thousand
from
who
else.
People's
Bank
owes
us
ten
thousand.
They
paid
eight
last
year
they
paying
ten
this
year.
H
H
If
you
put
all
that
money
in
one
place,
then
you
know
what
we're
doing
you
will
know
right
away
if
we
got
a
problem
and
we
not
managing
our
money
right
now,
it's
hard
to
say
with
a
with
any
kind
of
accountability.
Now
the
beauty
of
this
thing
is
no
other
city
around
us.
Does
this?
No
other
city
has
the
TV
stuff
that
we
have
on
now.
H
That
said
where
that
money
goes
and
where
it
comes
from,
and
it
tells
you
right
away,
here's
what
they're
doing
and
here's
what
they're
spending
and
we
got
a
problem,
but
we
don't
have
a
problem.
We
think
we're
right
on
track,
but
we
need
some
some
fluidness
in
this
budget.
We
don't
need
to
be
going
around
trying
to
find
money
every
time
and
the
beauty
of
it
is
the
way
you
can
tell
your
constituents.
One
of
the
council
members
asked
me
who's
been
asking
a
lot
about
this.
What
if
my
constituents
roads
not
being
paved?
H
We
got
a
newsletter,
we
got
a
TV
station,
but
my
roads
are
not
being
paved
the
beauty
of
what
we're
doing
is
it's
telling
people
why
their
roads
not
being
paved
or
if
it
is
going
to
be
paved,
it
tells
them
when
it
tells
them
what
y'all
are
doing
as
city
leaders
and
we're
doing
it
in
a
very
cost-effective
manner.
So
what
I
would
ask
that
we
do?
Is
we
go
by
the
resolution
that
y'all
passed
we're
not
asking
for
any
new
money,
we're
asking
for
that
money
to
be
in
one
pot?
H
We
spend
it
from
there
and
we
take
it
in
from
there,
and
it's
pretty
clear
you
know
I
mean
I.
That
makes
it
simple
for
her.
It
makes
it
simple
for
me
to
where
we
can
spend
time
on
writing
stories
and
taking
pictures
and
not
going
around.
Looking
for
my
because
that
40,000
I
told
you
about,
we
got
coming
in
we're
gonna
lose
that
we
lost
20,000
the
first
year
when
we
got
caught
up
in
the
end
of
the
budget
year.
That's
all
I'm
saying
you
know
it's
is
we
want
to
do
something,
that's
accountable.
H
D
D
H
We're
we're
not
getting
all
that
money
and
that
money
statutorily
franchise
agreement
says
it
goes
into
B
TV
and
it
also
says
what
y'all
passes
that
money
goes
into
that
one
account.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
spending
all
of
our
time
tracking
down
money.
Now
I'm,
not
an
accountant
I,
don't
you
know
and
I'm
probably
gonna
be
counseled
without
this
after
this
meeting.
But
this
is
something
we're
very
proud
of.
We
think
it's
very
effective
and
we
don't
want
to
see
it
be
killed
by
a
bookkeeping
nightmare.
D
H
H
Out
all
right,
what
happens
with
that?
Forty
thousand,
is
they
gonna?
Send
a
ten
thousand
dollar
check
from
the
cable
company
they're
going
to
send
a
ten
thousand
dollar
check
from
Biloxi
Public
Schools
they're,
going
to
send
a
ten
thousand
dollar
check
from
where
else
spark
light
so
and
then
we
got
5000
coming
in
from
the
Blake.
When
you
add
up
what
we
got
coming
in
the
new
money,
it's
gonna
be
$40,000
that
money's
gonna
go
over
to
finance.
It
said
city
of
Biloxi
period
and
that's
it.
We
don't
know
any
more
about
it.
H
D
H
H
A
D
C
B
C
B
C
B
B
D
D
C
D
D
I
I
D
D
I
It
but
I
will
say
this
about
Forest
Avenue,
pier
we
try
to
keep
over
to
here
other
than
lighthouse,
pier
on
Front
Beach.
In
fact,
I
think
Forest
Avenue
is
vandalize
more
than
the
Lighthouse
pier
on
the
front
beach.
That
one
is
non-stop
whatever
you
try
to
do
back
there
for
people
it's
torn
up
within
a
couple
of
days.
We
can't
catch
them,
but
every
time
we
do
something
so
lighting
fish
cleaning
tables
anything
we
try
to
do
back
there
to
make
it
better
for
that
facility
is
destructed
within
a
week.
I
I
Didn't
actually
there's
a
new
light,
something
up,
though
that's
a
safety
issue.
I'm
working
on
I've
got
quotes
coming
to
me
right
now.
I
have
no
control
of
people
give
me
quotes,
but
as
soon
as
I
get
quotes,
we're
gonna
have
we're
gonna
repair,
all
that
garbage
cans
overturned.
We
keep
three
or
four
garbage
cans
on
the
pier.
Every
bit
of
trash
was
thrown
all
over
the
period
of
smaller
and
garbage
cans
in
the
water.
I
D
I
Yes,
sir,
oh
and
I'm
actually
asking
for
some
more
maintenance
people
in
this
budget.
My
maintenance
guys
are
just
you,
know
it's
trash
and
grass
and
if
I
have
any
other
issues,
my
maintenance
department
just
can't
deal
with
it,
they're
so
busy
on
with
the
garbage
and
if
it's
not
garbage
picking
up
its
grass
cutting
at
all
these
facilities
that
I've
got.
You
know
three
guys
three
and
a
half
I
got.
You
know
to
work
in
supervisor,
but
he's
kept
busy
ordering,
and
you
know
trying
to
keep
hoping
to
everything.
I
J
I
Leave
we
like
to
see
the
finished
product
because
I
don't
know
if
y'all
realize
how
much
work
our
staff,
my
staff,
puts
into
this
bill
fish
tournament,
but
we
like
to
see
the
finished
product
just
to
see.
If
what
we're
doing
is
working-
and
you
know
the
last
couple
of
years
it
has
so
we
were
disappointed
this
year
because
we
didn't
get
to
see
the
finished
product.
We
were
really
looking.
You
know
you
don't
just
back
in
120
boats
in
that
Harbor.
You
know,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
things.
I
You
got
to
consider
when
you
play
some
boats
in
there
and
what
you're
doing
for
this
tournament
and
it's
a
challenge.
It
really
is
for
us
and
we
spend
three
or
four
months,
probably
organizing
this
billfish
tournament.
So
it
was
very
disappointing
not
to
be
able
to
see
what
we
had
thought
was
going
to
really
be
a
good
plan
this
year,
you
know
just
fell
out
from
underneath
us
at
the
last
minute,
but
we'll
do
it
again
next
year.
That's.
I
Can't
they
just
they
don't
fly
off
anymore
40-foot
when
I
first
started
as
a
hobby
Meister
down
there,
40
foot
boat
was
the
massive
boats
in
that
time,
and
now
you
got
a
half
a
dozen
of
them
close
to
100
feet
peak.
So
it's
a
huge
shame,
40-footers
what
a
small
boat
sound-
and
you
know
that
harbour
was
designed
in
the
eighties.
So
there's
a
lot
of
difference
in
the
boats
that
are
actually
looking
for
placement
now
than
there
was
when,
when
all
of
our
harbors
were
built,
but
we
enjoy
doing
the
bill
first
time.
I
A
I
A
C
C
One
final
number
that
I
want
to
call
out
in
front
of
you.
If
you
look
on
the
second
page
of
the
summary
of
Department
expenditure
budgets
and
the
about
half
way
down,
you
see
total
all
general
fund
expenditures,
63
million
nine
hundred
eighty
seven
thousand
one
hundred
eighty
dollars.
Do
you
see
that
number
I
just.
F
A
K
A
K
C
Really
yeah
yeah:
first,
the
fire,
the
police,
cars,
for
example.
We
should
be
replacing
twenty
percent
of
our
police
cars
every
year.
So
while
there's
sixteen
cars
in
there
and
that's
a
one-time
expense,
there'll
be
sixteen
cars
next
year.
Okay,
so
the
fire
engines
are
a
unique
one-time,
not
that
there
won't
be
a
requirement
in
some
future
years
for
some
more
but
well
that's
a
unique
one-time
thing.
What.
C
C
Hitting
the
budget
really
collectively
at
about
$160,000
for
the
two
fire
trucks,
but
it's,
but
it's
not
you're,
not
seeing
160,
you
see
in
a
million
and
then
you're,
seeing
some
revenue
balancing
that.
But
the
impact
at
the
bottom
line
is
about
160,000
same
same
with
the
fire
house.
Again,
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
one-time
thing.
It's
a
15
years
once
one.
G
C
A
C
G
C
So
so
long
story
short
there
is:
we've
been
talking
general
fund,
all
the
sun.
There
is
also
a
debt
debt
service
fund
and
that
that
debt
service
fund
is
funded
with
certain
mill,
a
certain
amount
of
millage,
that's
locked
in
right
this
year.
So
a
certain
amount
of
our
ad
valorem
tax
millage
goes
into
the
debt
service
fund,
which
then
pays
for
all
the
bonds.
The
general
obligation
bonds.
There
is
sufficient
millage
to
pay
for
all
of
the
general
obligation
bonds.
The
way
it's
set
up
to
right
now
without
any
more
in
borrowing.
A
C
D
C
C
C
The
first
grouping
talks
about
Community
Development
advertising
and
includes
a
number
of
entries
cruising
the
coast,
the
or
Museum
the
coast
wide
MLK
celebration,
the
seafood
museum,
the
Gulf
Coast
legislative
reception,
the
boom-boom
fund,
the
Mississippi,
Gulf
Coast
resort,
classic
that
those
all
total
up
you
can
see
in
each
case
how
much
it
was
in
this
year's
budget,
what
it's
going
to
be
and
what
was
it
in
the
previous
year's
budget
and
what
the
difference
is
so
at
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
you
have
any
questions
about
that.
First
group
I
have.
D
C
E
C
C
Elevator,
maintenance,
fire,
alarm,
maintenance,
things
that
affect
you,
know
the
the
building
not
burning
down
and
still
being
over
maintained
and
so
forth.
It's
it's
it's
a
it's
a
complicated
arrangement
that
was
probably
and
I'm
only
guessing.
It's
probably
because
of
the
way
we
had
to
get
the
big
grants
that
went
that
I'm
sure
you
were
on
council
at
the
time
when
we,
those
grants
came
down
and
it
had
the
city
had
to
be
in
an
ownership
position.
C
So
when
the
electric
bill
comes
in
and
it's
ten
thousand
dollars,
we
pay
the
bill,
and
then
we
invoice
the
museum
for
the
other
five.
We
we
pay
for
they
pay
for
all
the
routine
maintenance
they
pay
to
repair
minor.
Do
minor
appears
they.
We
pay
the
maintenance
contract
on
the
elevator.
We
take
the
fire,
alarm,
inspection
and
so
forth.
It's
all
laid
out
in
the
management
agreement
and
the
numbers
that
are
in
the
budget
this
year
are
reflective
of
how
much
it's
costing
us
well.
C
D
D
C
The
25,000
plus
the
additional
additional
cost
that
we
that's
the
25,000.
We
write
to
check
to
them
for,
for
them
to
do
all
the
routine
maintenance
all
through
the
year,
and
it
includes
the
difference.
The
difference
is
that
the
amount
we
pay
for
the
elevators
for
the
fire
alarm
for
the
fire
suppression
system
and
so
forth.
The
things
that
we're
required
to
pay
for
it
so
that
that's
the
total
50
in
this
in
the
seafood
museum,
which
is.
D
C
We
put
we
to
make
it
cleaner
to
make
it
cleaner,
where
we're
not
putting
it
into.
We
don't
want
to
do
like
the
baseball
fund.
We
thought
about
making
it
like
the
baseball
fund
and
then
we
realized
the
complication
there.
With
the
baseball
fund
we
put
in
25,
the
team
puts
in
25,
and
then
we
have
to
manage
that
fund.
In
this
case
we
put
in
25,
we
just
give
them
the
25
and
they
pay
all
the
bills
and
anything
over
25
is
on
them.
So
it's
just
cleaner.
C
C
F
C
More
of
an
incentive
to
manage
their
money
and
manage
their
facilities
than
they
did
before,
because
if
it's
not
managed
well,
then
it
and
it's
on
their
budget,
so
that
that's
the
way
it
is
with
the
utility
bill.
Obviously
they
have
an
incentive
to
manage
their
utility
costs,
because
anything
over
five
thousand
dollars
is
their
cost,
so
that
that
is
a
very
that
that
museum,
as
we
all
know,
is
not
the
way
it
was
built.
G
C
C
D
C
D
B
That's
what's
on
the
first:
let's
go
back
to
the
first
group
just
to
get
things
started
here,
I'm
looking
at
cruising,
the
coast
is
proposed
to
10,000
the
coast,
wide
MLK
celebration
at
10,000,
the
boom
boom
fun
at
10,000
and
the
Gulf
resort
classic
at
10,000.
What
if
we
just
cut
those
in
half
and
it's
5,000
for
each
of
those
four
events
instead
of
10,000,
was.
D
B
D
That,
at
all
those
things,
bring
a
lot
of
people
so
study
a
book
say
that's
some
of
the
best
functions
we
have.
The
thing
you
need
to
look
at
here
bought
luther
king
things
not
on
Biloxi
I'm,
not
getting
that
bunch
ten
thousand
dollars
they
go
to
get
for
one
year
and
blocks
a
timely
and
blessed.
We
found
them
ten
thousand
already
in
Gulfport
this
year,
God
sent
you
with
some
blocks
of
last
year,
I'm
no
surgeon,
ten
thousand
dollars
of
Gulfport.
D
A
A
If
Gulfport
is
contributing,
because,
if
golfcourse
contributing
in
their
base
budget
is
covered
by
both
cities,
even
though
they
flip-flop
it,
then
it's
the
same
thing:
we'd
have
to
pay
twice
as
much
for
Biloxi,
but
I,
don't
know
if
Gulfport
is
contributing.
So
is
there
way
to
find
out
if
Gulfport
is
contributing.
F
C
A
C
C
C
K
Bottom
line
with
or
O'keefe
is
we
have
three
expenses,
one
is
sixty
thousand
one
is
fifty
and
one
is
48,
so
we
spent
a
total
of
one
hundred
and
sixty-eight
thousand
with
them.
Each
year
same
three
line
items
with
the
seafood
Museum
we
spend
one
hundred
and
thirty,
eight
thousand
six
hundred
and
there's
no
other
expenses
associated
with
them
outside
of
those
three.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
D
K
C
C
So
the
next
group
of
non
department
budget
items
talks
about
the
management
agreements
for
the
two
museums
Casa,
the
Mardi
Gras
Museum,
grant
monies
you'll
notice
that
158,
that's
the
money
that
we
just
by
resolution,
moved
to
them.
That
was
their
own
money
that
we
were
holding.
But
that
just
shows
because
it
was
in
the
budget.
Last
year
the
Mardi
Gras
Museum
management
agreement.
C
We
still
have
the
$25,000
facade,
grant
and
I
honestly
can't
tell
you
if
when
when
and
if
that's
going
to
be
used,
but
that's
still
in
the
budget
Gulf
Regional
Planning
is,
is
the
GRP
see
that's
who
we
worked
through
for
all
our
80/20
grants
with
MDOT
so
forth?
And
finally,
the
Harrison
County,
Library,
Commission
and
I
know.
Sarah
is
here
from.
F
L
L
We're
also
working
on
some
pretty
major
upgrades
in
some
of
like
our
West
Biloxi
library,
has
cat5
cable
and
we're
going
to
replace
that
with
category
6
we've
gotten,
we
have
some
federal
ear.
Eight
money,
the
Universal
Services
Administration,
provides
schools
and
libraries
with
money
that
we
have
to
match
some
of
it,
but
it
gives
us
a
great
opportunity
to
put
in.
L
We
have
ten-year-old
wire
Wi-Fi
system,
we're
replacing
that
we're
upgrading
the
cable
like
I,
said
and
doing
some
other
infrastructure
things
and,
as
you
know,
we're
trying
to
there
hadn't
been
a
technology
replacement
plan.
So
the
the
minimum
age
for
the
computers
in
the
Biloxi
branches
is
2011
was
the
purchase
date.
So,
as
you
know,
from
last
year
they
are
running
Windows,
7,
Windows
7
is
about
to
sunset
and
so
we're
trying
to
replace
those,
and
we
appreciate
the
help
that
you've.
Given
us.
We
were
we're
starting
that
project.
L
Those
are
going
to
go
out
once
the
cabling
is
updated
and
we're
hoping
to
to
continue
working
on
that
this
year
and
so
I'm
just
here
to
answer
any
questions
and
we've
been
busy
with
programs
with
checking
out
our
saving
people
money
by
sharing
materials
and
checking
those
out.
So
that's
your
disposal
for
questions
about
our
plans.
Well,.
F
D
L
While
we
have
an
increase
again,
it
was
actually
a
we've
set
it
out
in
the
first
year
that
was
a
two-year
project.
We
have
68
computers,
plus
50
laptops
in
the
Biloxi
libraries.
Our
quote,
our
state
contract
price
for
one
computer
is
752
dollars.
A
laptop
is
829,
so
you
can
see
how
that
quickly
adds
up
if
you're,
trying
to
replace
68
computers,
which
we're
not
asking
the
full
price
for
that.
But
we
replaced
about
16
with
the
money
from
last
year,
and
so
there's
there's
still
a
big
gap
when.
C
G
C
F
L
Been
the
case
for
the
last
I
think
12
to
13
years,
I
have
to
check
my
notes,
so
we've
we've
had
to
to
to
eat
those
pers
increases
just
like
you
have,
and-
and
that's
that's
eaten
into
our
ability
to
replace
these
computers
over
time.
So
we're
finding
ourselves
with
you
know,
with
nine-year-old
computers
and
how.
L
L
D
C
F
D
G
D
L
We
would
like
to
get
to
a
place
where
we
could
put
aside
money
every
year
to
replace
computers,
but
we're
just
at
a
critical
point.
Now,
if
we
can't,
if
we
don't
have
the
machines,
we
can't
operate
the
library
because
our
all
of
our
infrastructure
is
based
on.
You
know
we
don't
have
the
I
think
I
mentioned
last
year.
We
don't
have
the
physical
card
catalog
anymore.
L
We
have
a
database
that
covers
that
and
then
we
have
about
44,000
uses
or
the
computers
in
Biloxi
about
80,000
plus
system-wide,
so
they're
very
much
needed
by
not
just
the
staff
part,
but
also
the
patron
part.
We
have
people
who
you
know,
don't
have
computers
at
home
or
Internet
they.
They
need
that.
Well,.
B
I
think
I
think
you
do
great
work
and
and
with
what's
proposed
by
the
administration
of
$13,000
increased
from
seven
hundred
and
seven
thousand.
This
current
year
to
seven
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
I
mean
if
we
can
spend
ten
thousand
on
cruising
the
coast
and
ten
thousand
on
the
MLK
celebration
and
ten
thousand
on
the
boom
boom
event
and
the
Gulf
Court
Gulf,
Coast
resort
class
classic
and
for.
H
F
B
That
occurred
during
the
year,
certainly
we
can
come
up
with
thirteen
thousand
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
library
on
their
computers,
particularly
in
addition
to
the
purse
contribution
increase
to
serve
folks
who
live
and
work
and
come
to
the
library
that
are
in
Biloxi
every
day.
Not
just
for
those
events,
that's
my
thinking.
You.
L
Had
about
two
hundred
two
hundred
thousand
people
using
just
the
Biloxi
libraries
last
year,
and
if
you,
if
you
average,
you
know
the
cost
of
a
book
at
about
fifteen
dollars,
multiply
that
out
it's
a
good
cost
savings.
It's
a
good
economic
investment.
That's
good
ROI
for
for
your
investment,
I!
Think.
L
That's
people
the
checkouts
are
close
to
five
hundred
thousand
as
well,
though
we
have
about
three
hundred
that
that
mean
sorry,
three
thousand
programs
with
seventy
thousand
attendees.
So
if
you
for
going
to
an
event
that
costs
five
bucks,
you
go
to
the
library
for
an
event,
and
it's
free
is
that
is
that.
L
C
L
K
L
D
L
G
L
L
Trying
to
do
this
in
every
city
and
the
headquarters
as
well
replace
300
computers
in
two
years
time,
but
68,
currently
in
Biloxi,
plus
40
laptops
we're
not
going
to
replace
all
those
laptops
we're
going
to.
We
got
a
grant
to
do
a
mobile
lab,
so
we're
good
on
on
that,
but
but
the
68
or
staff
and
and
patron
and
like
I,
said
all
those
the
the
oh,
the
youngest
ones
are
2011.
We
have
some
that
are
2009.
L
B
Well,
I
would
urge
my
colleagues
to
go
with
what's
recommended
now,
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
tell
you
I
mean
this
is
something
that
the
citizens
of
blocks
you
know.
That's
all
we're
talking
about
right
now
is
serving
the
citizens
of
Biloxi
at
how
many
different
library
locations
for
with
a
hundred
computers
I
mean
if
you
replace
them
every
six
years,
you're
replacing
16
a
year
at
eight
hundred
each
I,
don't
know.
What's
that
ten
thousand
alone,
that's.
B
D
D
L
L
D
L
B
Years
ago
or
20
years
ago,
when
laptops
desktops
all
that
new
technology
was
being
rolled
out,
you
could
get
grants
for
hardware.
Now
it's
almost
impossible
to
get
grants
for
hardware.
Now
you
might
look
at
innovative
programs
which
in
the
library
would
mean
software
applications
or
books
or
something
innovative
in
the
way
of
Kindle
readers,
or
something
like
that.
But
these
day
it's
hard
to
get
grants
for
hardware.
No.
G
B
G
D
G
D
B
G
A
A
J
Excuse
me
I,
just
mostly
more
than
money,
I
wanted
to
touch
base
with
some
changes
that
are
going
on
here
on
the
coast.
If
you've
watched
the
local
news
lately,
you
know
that
z-trip
has
bought
out
yellow
cab.
What
that
means
for
us
is
an
additional
40
new
calves
being
put
our
taxis.
Excuse
me:
I've
been
corrected
before
taxis
put
on
our
roads.
These
these
vehicles
are
averaging
2017
or
newer.
I
met
with
the
actual
ownership
of
it.
A
mr.
William
George
out
of
Kansas
City
Missouri.
J
And
he
assures
us
that
they
intend
on
changing
these
vehicles
on
average
of
every
two
years
from
here
on
out.
That's
a
that's,
a
big
positive
for
our
taxi
industry.
Here
on
the
coast,
we've
had
several
of
the
other
smaller
companies
that
are
doing
the
same
they're
following
suit.
They
can't
quite
afford
the
2017
or
newer,
but
they
are
getting.
You
know
2010
or
newer
vehicles,
which
is
a
good
thing
for
us.
At
this
present
time
we
do
have
several
vehicles
on
the
road
that
average
anywhere
from
2001
to
2008.
J
That's
not
good
for
the
industry,
it's
not
good
for
the,
how
the
public
looks
at
the
industry
or
the
cities
that
they're
coming
to
visit,
but
it
is
getting
better
on
a
daily
basis.
Currently,
we
have
22
companies
that
are
operating
within
the
three
cities,
with
yellow
cabs
last
z-trip,
being
the
largest
ABC
cab,
which
is
strongly
a
Biloxi
based
cab
company
is
second
and
with
Adam.
If
I'm,
not
mistaken,
I
didn't
bring
their
current
number
but
I
think
they're
operating
like
about
15
or
16
cabs.
J
At
this
time,
the
industry's
growing
we're
getting
better,
as
you
all
notice.
You've
not
seen
them
in
the
City
Council
Chambers
harassing
the
meeting,
which
is
a
good
thing.
We
resolve
any
issue
we
have
at
our
level
the
best
we
can
I
can't
promise
you
that
that'll
always
be
that
way,
but
we'll
do
our
best
to
resolve
it
in
my
office
or
with
our
Commission
instead
of
coming
to
the
City
Council's.
What.
J
What
we
do
is
just
take
a
percentages
request,
the
percentages
of
each
from
each
company
up
there
drop
offs,
and
this
is
from
my
understanding.
This
was
formed
in
the
interlocal
agreement,
which
I
was
not
here
before
that
predates
me,
and
it's
going
to
fluctuate
a
little
bit.
I
think
everybody
here
in
this
room
would
agree
that
Biloxi
has
most
of
their
tractions.
Most
of
the
go-to
place
is
family
friendly
or
casino,
based
whatever
it
might
be,
so
we're
starting
to
see
a
little
bit
of
a
change.
J
It
wasn't,
but
2%
I
think
it
came
out
to
be
$1200
for
the
year
that
growth
has
actually
started
two
years
ago.
It
eased
up
just
a
little
and
it
eased
up
just
a
little
and
now
this
was
you
know
to
the
point
where
you
know
we
changed
them.
A
little
Gulfport
went
down
a
little
bit,
D'iberville
went
down
just
a
fraction
and
at
all
the
changes
you
know
to
the
benefit,
hopefully
of
the
city
of
Biloxi,
but
that's
how
that.
C
J
Is
that's
the
city
of
Biloxi
right
now
gets
the
majority
of
the
drop-off
how
they
base
that
is,
is
where,
for
instance,
we
get
the
information,
ask
them
you
know
and
where
you
acquired
the
information.
From
of
you
know
how
many
drop-offs,
or
what
percentage
of
your
drop-offs
do
you
did
you
drop
off
in
Biloxi
what
percentage
went
to
Gulfport?
What
percentage
went
to
D
Iberville
and
then
we
take
that
cut
that
amount,
that
percentage
and
that's
the
percentage.
We
asked
the
bar
overall.
D
C
A
A
A
K
A
K
A
K
B
B
A
A
C
Looking
over
the
rest
of
that
in
the
bottom
section
you
see
where
some
of
the
big
numbers
are,
but
these
are
all
must
pay
bills.
There
is
the
principal
for
the
lighting
retrofit
that
we
did
a
couple
of
years
ago.
We've
still
got
another
nine
years
to
pay
that
there
is
the
principal
for
the
telephone
system
which
is
paid
off
now,
so
we
won't
have
any
more
payments
for
that.
C
There's
the
interest
on
the
lighting
retrofit
note,
and
there
is
the
interest
on
the
grant
anticipation
note,
which
was
the
money
we
you
remember,
the
short-term
loan
that
we
borrow
from
Bank
Corp
South,
that
we've
been
paying
down
will
that
will
be,
should
be
paid
off
this
year.
So
this
is
probably
the
last
time
we're
gonna
pay
that.
C
C
C
C
D
A
D
D
C
Those
costs
did
go
up
just
a
little
bit
when
we
say
we
simply
sign
that
contract
with
him.
That's
when
that's
when
mr.
Bordeaux
came
in
and
briefed
the
council
when
we
when
we
did
the
insurance
policy,
it
was
slightly
slightly
higher,
but
we've
also
been
cutting
back
on
on
things
that
we're
insuring.
F
A
A
A
D
D
F
B
B
B
B
B
Question
what's
our
monthly
payroll
on
and
we
paid
folks
semi-monthly
twice
a
month,
but
what
is
just
a
rough
figure,
five
or
six
million
okay.
So
some
reason
I'm
thinking
as
a
is
a
rule
of
thumb,
a
good
conservative
practice
would
be
to
have
three
months
salary
in
the
bank
and
we
basically
to
cover
payroll
for
three
months.
I.
Think
it's
always
a
rule
of
thumb.
I've
heard
we
could
cover
it
for
half
that
time.
