A
D
Yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
want
to
handle
the
the

pretty
good

E
E
Our

the
american

south
region
and
also
kenny
glavin
kenny
is

wear
pink
ambassador
and
he
also
kind
of
he.
He
videoed
the
whole
event
and
it's
all
over
our
facebook
site
and.
D
D
God
only
knows
why,
but
you
know,
I
think
it's
up
to
us
that
these
kinds
of
monies
and
efforts
will
will
kind
of
you
know
minimize,
or
at
least
you
know,
make
people
aware
and
actually
move
forward
with
the
the
cure
for
this
disease
so
I'll
hand
it
over
to
you,
but
I
thank
you
and
I
thank
tom.
I
thank
everybody
who
participated
in
in
kenny
in
in
making
this
a
great
cause.
G
D
All
right
suitable
for
the
world
wide
web
right,
okay,
okay,
thank
you.
We,
I
think
we
got
some
folks
from
mississippi
power
here.
Come
up,
give
us
a
little
brief
update
there.
You
go.
D
I
That
probably
fixed
that
wouldn't
it
for
the
city
of
biloxi,
you
have
a
total
of
3,
500
plus
or
minus
20,
or
30
lights
street
lights
that
are
paid
for
through
the
city.
At
the
current
moment,
we've
upgraded
500
to
led
which
we
have
put
the
network
lighting
controls,
which
we've
discussed
with
you.
I
We
did
a
lot
of
that
during
or
the
week
before,
cruising
the
coast
trying
to
get
everything
repaired
outside
of
that
we've
got
irish
hill
done,
porter
from
highway,
90
north
to
howard
and
then
howard
from
I-110
west
back
to
porter,
and
it's
still
going
to
be
a
lot.
I
mean
it's
probably
going
to
be
two
to
three
years.
I
mean
we're
falling
behind
just
because
of
material.
I
We
expected
to
have
highway
90
done
probably
three
months
ago.
So
but
that's
that's
pretty
much
where
we're
at
right
now.
Do
you
have
any
questions
for
me
on
it.
D
We're
appreciative
of
the
efforts
together,
you
know
the
bridge,
I
think,
was
some
of
the
things
that
happened
on
the
bridge.
Just
the
beginning
of
you
know
what
we
need
to
do
together,
but
you
know
we're
appreciative
of
mississippi
power
in
its
efforts
to
work
together
and
that's
what
it's
going
to
take
and
we're.
J
Yeah
mike
sir
speaking
of
bridges
pop
spray
bridge,
I
understand
you
all
have
a
solution
for
us.
I'm
told
that
that
the
solution
has
to
do
with
the
the
stepping
down
the
power
or.
J
We
get
questions
on
every
council
meeting
about
profit
story
bridge
and
I
I
I
keep
being
told
that
it
has
to
do
with
a
step
down
from
4
20
down
to
whatever,
and
you
know
with
the
fact
that
we
had
to
have
ballasts
or
something
that
that
kicked
the
things
on,
and
you
guys
got
a
solution.
They'll
solve
that
problem.
Yes,.
G
Sir,
so
right
now
they're
40,
it's
40,
volt,
feeding
the
lights
and
you
have
a
step
down
transformer
to
step
it
down
to
240
or
120..
I'm
sorry.
G
So
right
now
you
have
480
volt,
feeding
the
lights,
and
you
have
a
step
down
transformer
stepping
the
voltage
down
to
feed
the
lights
that
you
have
up
there.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
buy
480,
volt
lights.
That
way
we
do
away
with
the
transformer
and
it's
just
fed
directly
from
your
source,
so
they're
genius.
J
G
Well,
once
we
get
the
assigned
agreement
back,
we'll
order,
material
lead
times
are
kind
of
crazy
right
now,
so
probably
eight
weeks
to
get
the
material
and
then
the
week
the
material
comes
in,
we
should
have
the
lights
installed.
Okay,.
J
B
I
Yeah
yeah,
so
most
of
the
stuff
you
have
up
now,
which
we
call
hid,
is
high
pressure.
Sodium
fixtures
and
it'll
give
off
a
more
of
a
yellow
light
at
night
time.
That's
how
you
know
the
difference.
During
the
day,
most
of
our
hid.
Fixtures
have
globes
on
them,
whereas
the
led
are
going
to
be
flat
and
there's
no
bulbs
protruding
from
the
bottom
of
the
fixture.
J
C
I
A
Later,
all
right,
there
are
actually
two
two
agreements
on
today's
agenda:
one
is
to
replace
and
maintain
the
lights
on
the
pops
very
bridge,
and
the
other
is
to
maintain,
I
think,
what's
currently
maintained
by
mississippi
power
on
highway
90
and
also
add
a
few
a
few
other
polls.
I
believe,
but,
as
mr
leonard
noted,
that's
that's
a
little
further
down
today's
agenda.
C
A
Mississippi
power
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
mississippi
power
is-
and
that
was
the
basis
of
some
of
today's
report.
Mississippi
power
is
replacing
the
street
lights
in
the
city
of
biloxi,
with
led
lights,
correct
from
the
bees
east.
I
think.
I
That's
the
paid
that
I
was
giving
you
on
those
are
the
mississippi
owned
lights.
What's
on
the
agenda,
would
be
the
city
owned
fixtures
on
highway
90.,
so
we
would
still
maintain
everything
like
we
do
now.
The
only
difference
will
be
is
we
will
put
our
fixtures
up
there
and
still
maintain
it
as
we
do
now.
You'll
just
be
leasing
the
fixtures
from
us
and
we'll
upgrade
them
to
led.
C
I
It
if
you
asked
about
the
citywide
update,
we
have
he,
we
have
been
working
with
him
and
rachel
and
we
have
an
agreement
with
the
city
to
upgrade
every
light
to
led.
It's
just
gonna
be
a
two
to
three
year
process
to
do
it
and
we're
also
installing
what
we
call
the
network
lighting
controls,
which
we
hope
and
the
plan
is
to
make
the
repair
time
less.
C
Yeah,
I
know
we're
trying
to
do
that
in
the
greater
southern,
the
division
up
behind
the
treasure
bay
they're,
trying
to
upgrade
some
of
them
lights,
but
you
know
they
need
an
arrow.
Every
ward
needs
to
upgrade
with
these
lights.
You
need
to
look
just
like
the
city
up
doing
it
piece
by
piece,
but
just
got
to
put
it
all
in
action.
That's
all.
D
D
As
far
as
I
know
on
highway,
90
you've
got
a
number
on
each
one
of
those
polls,
and
we've
got
a
significant
investment
in
gis
and
we'd
like
to
kind
of
coordinate
that,
because
if
we
ever
go
to
an
automated
situation,
where
you
know
a
citizen
can
report,
you
know
where
they
are
and
sort
of
understanding,
whether
whether
they
see
the
light
out,
even
though
they
may
give
you
a
different
address,
but
some
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
get
in
sync
with
our
technology.
F
D
I
Yeah,
so
the
that's
that's
one
of
the
main
purposes
of
switching
to
the
nlc's.
You
know
because
there
is
a
lot
of
confusion.
Even
if
we
provide
maps
right,
not
everybody
knows
no,
it
loses
so
these
these
nlcs
will.
Let
us
know
when
there's
a
voltage
issue,
a
wattage
issue.
If
the
lights
out
we'll
know
about
it
right,
well,
good.
D
M
D
No,
we
have
one
one
update.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
was
up
at
6
40
this
morning,
but
I
did
a
zoom.
Is
it
zoom
or
skype?
I
don't
know
what
I
did
zoom
yeah,
but
I
did
get
up
a
little
early
and
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
challenges
and
the
things
that
we're
going
to
see
in
the
future
with
infrastructure.
D
And,
of
course,
you
know
a
couple
of
months
ago,
we
informally
teamed
up
with
the
united
bridge
partners
to
explore,
and
you
know
it
as
far
as
the
I
guess.
The
richter
scale
is
being
turned
up
with
regard
to
infrastructure,
and
we
know
the
need
has
been
there
and
you
know,
and
it'll
still
be
there
20
years
for
now.
If
we
do
nothing,
so
we
brought
the
whole
team
today
to
give
us
an
update.
D
So
I
invite
everybody
and
all
you
always
come
on
up
and
give
us
an
update
on
what
they've
their
exploratory
of
what
the
possibilities
are
and
how
to
work
together
and
and
utilize
any
of
this
infrastructure
money
that
will
be
available,
that
we
can
put
this
bridge
in
this
causeway
together
for
the
accomplishment
of
what
we
need
to
do
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Terrific.
Thank
you.
N
Hello,
thank
you
so
much
and
my
name
is
doug
whitt.
I'm
president
and
ceo
united
bridge
partners
here
with
me,
are
ryan
dolan
he's
head
of
development,
ken
sliga
from
operations
and
lee
whitney
with
finance,
and
so
the
whole
team
is
here,
and
one
of
the
messages
I
want
to
share
is
this
is
what
we
do,
what
ryan's
going
to
talk
about
in
a
couple
minutes,
and
it's
all
we
do.
N
And
when
I
talk
about
certainty,
I
mean
a
hundred
percent
certain
in
terms
of
delivery
of
a
new
bridge
by
2026.,
so
ryan
is
going
to
ryan.
Dolan
is
going
to
walk
through
that
right
now
as
to
what
we
might
be
able
to
offer
if
this
resonates
with
you
here
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
him
at
this
time,.
P
So
you
all
should
have
some
some
presentation
materials
in
front
of
you
and
if
we
could
project
it
on
the
screen
as
well
again,
my
name
is
ryan
dolan.
I
lead
our
business
development
efforts
at
united
bridge
partners
today.
We
just
wanted
to
to
bring
you
through
a
brief
presentation,
I'll
be
as
brief
as
possible,
where
we'll
just
introduce
our
company
and
who
we
are.
You
know
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
background
of
this
specific
project
with
the
pops
ferry
bridge.
P
You
know
give
a
give
an
overview
of
the
proposal
that
we've
made
to
the
city,
and
then
you
know
leave
time
for
any
questions
or
comments
that
that
you
all
might
have.
So
we
can
go
forward
two
slides
here,
yeah,
so
first
united
bridge
partners
we're
a
developer
owner
and
operator
of
toll
bridge
replacement
projects
in
the
us
and
really
our
company
was
created
to
address
the
significant
bridge
infrastructure
funding
issues
in
this
country.
P
P
You
know.
Essentially,
what
we
offer
is
a
turnkey
solution
to
repair
or
replace
bridges
in
need
for,
for
whatever
reason
it
might
be
so
capacity
expansion.
You
know
the
condition
of
the
bridge
might
be
in
in
very
poor
shape.
So
what
we
offer
to
public
agencies
like
the
city
of
biloxi,
is,
as
doug
mentioned,
100
percent
fully
fund
full
funding
for
for
our
project
requirements
will
be
funded
day,
one
with
our
commitments
and
then
we
take
full
end-to-end
responsibility
for
project
delivery,
so
any
permitting
that
has
to
be
done.
P
Environmental
work,
we
work
with
our
our
network
of
design,
engineering
and
construction
partners
to
actually
deliver
the
project
in
an
accelerated
time
frame
and
then
once
our
structures
are
are
open
to
traffic.
We
operate,
maintain
and
provide
all
tolling
customer
service
over
the
long
term,
either
under
an
ownership
model
or
a
long-term
lease.
So
we
can
go
forward
so
we've
implemented
this.
You
know
this
model
in
a
number
of
places
throughout
the
u.s.
P
We
have
a
proven
track
record
of
of
delivering
on
this
and
we're
currently
in
five
states.
We
have
six
different
bridge
projects
really
in
all
different
phases
of
the
of
the
project
life
cycle.
So
we
have
two
bridges
that
are
currently
fully
open
to
traffic,
one
in
chesapeake
virginia
one
in
east
chicago
indiana,
and
then
we
have
four
other
bridge
projects
that
are
currently
in
development,
either
under
construction
or
in
the
design
and
permitting
phase
and
those
are
in
joliet
illinois
bay,
city,
michigan
and
parkersburg
west
virginia.
P
So
I
would
say
the
the
similarities
for
all
these
projects
to
biloxi
are
that
these
were
cities
that
had
a
major
infrastructure
challenge
and
and
a
lack
of
funding
and
expertise
to
deliver
a
bridge
replacement
or
bridge
repair
project,
and
so
we
came
in
offered
our
full
funding
and
delivery
solution
and
we're
able
to
to
support
these
communities
or
we're
in
the
process
of
supporting
these
communities.
We
have
references
from
all
of
these
projects
that
we'd
be
happy
to
share
with
any
of
you,
so
we
can
go
forward.
P
So
you
know
the
pops
ferry
corridor
project
is
a
is
a
larger
project.
We're
specifically
talking
about
our
solution
for
the
phase
two
project,
which
is
replacement
of
the
pops
ferry
bridge
and
then
roadway
improvements
and
widening
between
pass
road
and
riverview
drive,
so
just
wanted
to
kind
of
set
the
groundwork
there.
P
We
can
go
forward
so
you're
all
I'm
sure
well
aware
of
the
the
challenges
with
with
the
bridge
the
the
challenges
with
the
vascular,
drawbridge
nature
of
the
bridge,
the
traffic
congestion,
things
of
that
nature,
and
so
the
goals
of
this
project
really
are
to
improve
the
reliability
of
the
bridge,
and
so
you
know
we're
looking
to
improve
evacuation
readiness
in
the
event
of
hurricanes
or
other
natural
disasters,
declared
state
of
emergencies,
increased
capacity.
P
So
the
project's
going
to
go
from
a
two-lane
corridor,
a
two-lane
roadway
to
a
four-lane,
so
we're
going
to
increase
capacity
of
the
network,
hopefully
cut
down
on
some
of
those
those
traffic
delays
and
congestion.
And
then
overall,
I
would
just
say
you
know.
The
whole
project
is
the
intent
is
to
improve
safety
and
quality
of
life
overall
in
biloxi.
P
So
we
can
go
forward
so
so
this
project
has
been
in
development
for
about
15
to
20
years
now,
but
we
became
involved
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
when
we
approached
the
city
to
discuss.
The
idea
of
you
know
delivering
this
project
using
our
approach,
and
so
we
we
formally
made
a
proposal
to
the
city
in
june
of
2020
to
replace
the
the
bridge
and
do
the
roadway
widening
as
a
told
facility,
the
city
determined
that
that
was
a
viable
option
in
order
to
secure
full
funding
for
the
project
and
then
accelerate
delivery.
P
You
know
over
a
five-year
time
period,
and
so
they
put
out
a
competitive
request
for
proposal
out
to
the
market.
In
august
of
that
year,
in
december,
we
submitted
an
updated
proposal
as
part
of
that
rfp
process.
I
understand
the
city
also
received
a
number
of
other
bids
to
deliver
the
project
and
then
in
in
august
of
this
year,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
he
he
formally
selected
our
proposal
to
kind
of
move
forward
in
the
next
step
of
exploration
and
to
discuss
a
development
agreement
with
the
city
and
so
over
the
course
of
2021.
P
I
understand
the
city
has
continued
to
look
for
you
know
traditional
public
sources
at
the
state
and
federal
level.
We
at
ubp
have
continued
to
discuss
what
a
development
agreement
would
look
like
with
the
city.
We've
also
done
some
work
internally
to
look
at
the
the
design
of
the
project
and
specifically
the
roadway
widening
project
and
how
we
might
optimize
that,
and
we
also
conducted
some
focus
groups
in
the
neighborhood
just
to
see
what
the
feedback
from
community
members
was
to
this
to
this
concept
going
forward.
P
P
P
That's
that's,
become
a
liability
in
terms
of
the
cost
and
complexity
to
to
replace
the
structure,
and
so
you
know
the
way
these
these
projects
are
usually
funded
and
delivered
is
with
a
combination
of
federal
grants
and
funding,
state
funding,
and
then
local
funds,
or
or
bonding
or
self
provided
funds,
and
that
really
puts
biloxi
in
a
challenging
position
in
that
federal
grants
are
extremely
competitive
to
to
secure.
P
So
as
an
example
in
2019,
only
about
five
to
ten
percent
of
federal
grants,
federal
grant
applications
were
awarded
so
extremely
competitive
to
secure
those
grants
in
terms
of
state
funding.
You
know
this
is
an
off
system
or
a
you
know,
a
bridge
that
is
not
owned
by
the
state.
P
So
you
know
the
main
benefits
of
a
of
an
approach
like
this,
I
would
say,
are
full
funding
can
be
secured
much
much
quicker
on
this
project.
We've
we've
committed
100
of
project
requirements,
speed
of
delivery.
So
again
you
can
address
the
project
much
quicker
than
you
would
under
a
traditional
project,
delivery
and
a
traditional
way
of
financing
these
projects
and
then,
thirdly,
risk
transfer.
So
under
these
contracts
you
shift
risk
from
the
city
onto
us
as
the
private
partner,
so
that
includes
upfront
financing,
risk
all
project
delivery
risks,
so
cost
cost
escalation.
P
P
So
we
can
go
forward
so
at
a
high
level.
What
we've
proposed
is,
as
doug
mentioned,
to
fully
fund
and
deliver
the
the
phase
two
project,
so
replacement
of
the
bridge
and
all
roadway
improvements,
we'll
relieve
the
city
of
all
ongoing
liabilities
and
and
financing
responsibility,
and
then
we've
committed
to
to
operate
the
bridge
to
a
very
high
standard
over
the
life
of
the
contract
in
terms
of
tolling.
P
Our
number
one
goal
on
this
project
was
to
offer
the
lowest
toll
rates
possible
and
toll
rates
that
favor
biloxi
residents
and
are
community
friendly,
so
I'll
go
into
that
a
little
bit
later.
But
it's
it's
very
important
us
to
to
offer
something
that
the
community
can
accept
and
then
our
intent
is
to
keep
toll
rates
as
low
as
possible
over
the
long
term.
P
So,
in
terms
of
the
details,
you
know
in
terms
of
the
design,
what
we've
committed
to
build
is
a
a
four-lane
fixed
span,
replacement
of
the
of
the
current
structure,
and
so
there
would
no
longer
be
a
drawbr,
a
drawbridge
or
a
bascule
on
the
bridge.
It
would
be
a
fixed
span
bridge.
It
would
have
a
95
foot
vertical
clearance
of
220
foot,
horizontal
clearance,
meaning
that
you
know
cars
could
could
travel
the
bridge
as
at
the
same
time
that
that
boats
are
are
traveling
underneath.
P
So
this
is,
this
is
going
to
solve
a
major
hurricane
evacuation
issue
going
to
four
lanes
is
gonna
alleviate
a
lot
of
the
traffic
traffic
woes
that
you
guys
are
experiencing
here
and
we're
also
going
to
widen
and
improve
the
roadway
north
and
south
of
the
bridge.
P
Now
the
the
widened
roadway
does
require
pretty
significant
home
acquisitions,
so
it
calls
for
about
80
homes
to
be
acquired
between
pass
road
and
riverview
drive
in
our.
In
our
opinion,
this
is
under
the
currently
federally
approved
design
of
the
project.
It's
our
opinion.
You
know
this
is.
P
This
is
a
pretty
significant
impact
to
the
neighborhood
and
the
community,
and
so
we've
already
initiated
with
our
engineer
what
we're
calling
a
roadway,
optimization
study
to
see
how
we
might
minimize
the
number
of
homes
that
have
to
be
acquired,
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
that
right
now.
But
you
know
this
is
going
to
have
a
major
cost
savings.
P
This
is
about
at
this
point
a
150
million
dollar
construction
project,
probably
170
to
180
all
in
we've
committed
that
100,
and
so
we
require
zero
funding
from
any
state
sources,
any
local
or
any
federal
sources
whatsoever.
So
in
that
sense
we're
taking
on
full
financing
responsibility,
we've
committed
those
funds
and
then
we'll
also
take
on
entire
project
delivery
risk
and
long-term
operations
and
maintenance
risk.
P
Our
proposal
also
includes
a
two
million
dollar
development
fee,
paid
to
the
city
of
biloxi,
for
involvement
in
the
project
in
terms
of
delivery.
P
I'll
go
into
the
schedule
in
a
few
slides
here,
but
our
guidance
principles,
if
you
will
number
one-
is
safety
for
obviously
the
workers
on
site
and
then
and
then
the
traveling
public
speed
of
delivery.
So
we
wanna,
you
know
keeping
safety
in
mind,
deliver
this
this
project
as
quickly
as
possible
for
the
community
and
then
limiting
public
disruption
as
much
as
possible.
P
So
in
that
regard,
our
construction
team
has
phased
the
work
so
that
the
existing
bridge
and
roadway
can
remain
open
while
we're,
while
we're
building
the
new
bridge
east
of
and
parallel
to
the
existing
structure.
So
we're
trying
to
to
limit
disruption
on
the
neighborhood
as
much
as
possible
once
the
new
bridge
is
up
and
open
to
traffic,
we've
also
committed
to
demolishing
and
removing
the
existing
bridge.
Right
now
we
intend
to
use
pieces
of
that
structure
as
an
artificial
reef
offshore.
P
This
has
been
done
on
a
number
of
other
projects
across
the
country
in
terms
of
how
we'll
maintain
and
operate
the
structure.
P
As
I
said,
we
take
on
full
responsibility,
so
any
minor
maintenance
that
has
to
happen
like
street
sweeping
debris
cleanup
we
take
that
on
and
then
any
major
you
know
rehabs
or
renovation
in
the
future
over
the
term
of
the
contract.
P
We
take
donna
that
on
as
well,
so
if
the
deck
has
to
be
replaced
in
the
future,
if,
if
a
barge
hits
the
bridge,
which
has
happened,
if
there's
a
if
there's
a
major
hurricane
that
damages
the
bridge,
we're
liable
for
for
making
those
those
upgrades
as
well
and
we'll
be
doing
this
out
of
a
a
local
office
here
in
biloxi.
P
So
I
I
live
in
denver
colorado,
I'm
not
going
to
be
operating
a
bridge
in
in
biloxi
from
denver,
so
we're
going
to
hire
an
all
local
general
management
team,
customer
service,
operation
and
maintenance
team
that
will
that
will
sit
here
in
biloxi.
P
It's
also
important
to
us
that
we,
you
know,
put
down
roots
and
invest
in
the
community,
so
we
intend
to
be
active
members
of
the
chamber
of
commerce.
We've
already
joined
the
chamber.
We
have
a
support
letter
included
in
your
materials
there
from
them
and
we
also
invest
in
you,
know,
charitable
causes
and
and
other
community
initiatives
as
a
good.
You
know
as
a
good
member
of
the
community,
so
we
we
pride
ourselves
on
being
good
neighbors
on
all
of
our
projects
and
so.
P
The
main
benefits
of
the
project:
it's
improving
the
reliability
of
the
overall
corridor,
it's
speed
of
delivery
and
it's
it's
full
funding.
So
again,
we've
committed
the
full
funding
up
front
and
it's
also
going
to
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
the
area.
Just
a
you
know,
a
construction
project
of
this
magnitude
is
going
to
have
significant
job
creation,
economic
stimuluses
as
workers
spend
time
and
money
in
the
community
and
then
again
over
the
long
term.
P
You
know
this
reliable
infrastructure
kind
of
equips
the
area
for
future
growth
and
for
future
business
opportunities.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
here.
P
So
this
is
just
a
rendering-
and
you
know
specifically,
you
can
see
here
that
the
the
bascule
part
of
the
bridge
is
is
gone.
Boats
can
use
the
the
bridges
as
the
same
time
as
as
cars,
so
we
can
go
forward.
P
So
we've
put
together
a
fantastic,
fully
baked
team
to
deliver
the
project
we've
already
partnered,
with
with
all
of
these
firms,
so
we're
ready
to
proceed
ready
to
mobilize
and
all
of
these
firms
have
a
lot
of
experience
delivering
this
type
of
project.
In
you
know
a
gulf
coast
environment
within
mississippi
and
within
the
region.
P
So,
first
of
all,
biloxi
bridge
partners,
they're
they're,
going
to
be
the
the
local
subsidiary
of
our
company
united
bridge
partners.
Again
we're
going
to
provide
full
funding,
we'll
be
the
main
point
of
contact
and
responsible
party
for
project
delivery
and
then
we'll
operate
and
maintain
the
structure
over
the
long
term.
P
P
Our
engineering
team
is
led
by
volker,
which
is
based
out
of
mobile
alabama,
also
supporting
us
out
of
their
jackson,
mississippi
office
they're,
going
to
be
the
overall
lead
for
the
design
of
the
project,
and
then
we
have
a
number
of
locally
based
sub-consultants
on
the
engineering
team
as
well.
P
Brown,
mitchell
and
alexander
is
kind
of
our
our
prime
sub
they're,
going
to
be
responsible
for
the
roadway
design
and
they've
also
been
involved
in
the
environmental
assessment,
so
they
bring
in
a
lot
of
knowledge
and
you
know
institutional
knowledge
to
the
project
and
then
finally,
majeski
and
masters
they're,
a
you
know,
nationally
renowned
expert
in
in
bridge
projects,
they're
going
to
be
our
our
eyes
and
ears
on
the
project
coordinating
between
the
contractor
and
and
the
engineering
team.
P
As
our
independent
engineer
and
then
lastly,
we
have
a
number
of
firms
that
are
supporting
us
with
government
relations
integrating
into
the
community
public
affairs,
things
of
that
nature,
capital
resources,
the
focus
group,
adams
and
rhys
and
bullseye
they're
helping
us.
You
know
with
a
lot
of
these
community
initiatives
that
are
important
on
these
types
of
projects,
so
I've
I've
listed
a
number
of
project
examples
on
the
next
slide,
but
we
can
go
forward
too.
P
So
in
terms
of
the
schedule,
as
I
mentioned,
it
was
most
important
that
we
deliver
this
project
safely
as
fast
as
possible
and
then
limiting
public
disruption,
so
we've
estimated
an
aggressive,
but
we
think
achievable
schedule
of
about
a
four-year
timeline,
and
so
some
of
some
of
the
long
lead
time
items
here.
Obviously
right
away,
acquisition,
utility
relocation
and
the
permitting
process
are
gonna,
take
quite
a
while,
and
then
we
have
about
a
two
year,
construction
timeline.
So
this
this
schedule
is
gonna
continue
to
evolve.
P
P
This
is
greatly
expedited
and
accelerated
versus
how
it's
traditionally
done
so
we're
confident
that
we
can
meet
the
schedule
and
again
any
changes
to
this
will
be
communicated
and
and
we'll
publish
a
rolling
schedule
as
as
the
project
is
delivered
over
the
next
several
years.
P
So
we
can
go
forward,
okay,
so
so
the
question
you
all
probably
have
is
on
the
toll
rates.
Obviously,
as
I
said,
the
number
one
goal
of
the
project
was
to
offer
as
low
a
toll
rates
as
possible
and
rates
that
don't
overly
burden
biloxi
residents.
So
since
they're
going
to
be
the
primary
users
of
the
structure-
and
so
you
know
we're
not
going
to
overburden
them,
it's
it's
not
in
our
best
interest
to
charge
high
toll
rates,
because,
if
they're
too
high,
no
one
will
use
the
bridge.
P
So
in
terms
of
the
structure
of
the
tolling
package,
no
tolls
will
be
charged
prior
to
the
bridge
being
open
after
the
four-year
project
delivery
period.
P
P
It
will
be
an
all-electronic
open
road
tolling
system.
So
what
that
means
is
there?
There
won't
be
a
cash-based
payment
system.
You
won't
have
to
slow
down
or
stop
to
pay
your
toll
at
a
gantry
or
a
gated
barrier,
it'll
be
open
road,
so
you'll
either
pay
via
a
transponder
or
a
sticker.
That's
in
your
car,
that's
linked
to
to
an
account
and
it'll
automatically
kind
of
deduct
the
toll
from
from
your
account
or,
if
you
choose
not
to
have
a
transponder
an
account.
P
An
invoice
will
be
mailed
to
to
your
address
on
record
and
that's
how
you
can
pay.
So
this
is
a
similar
system.
That's
been
implemented
in
florida
and
louisiana
and
texas
and
a
lot
of
other
areas
in
the
country,
and
you
know
we
understand
that
this.
This
is
a
new
system
here
and
people
might
be
unfamiliar
with
with
tolling.
So
one
of
the
first
efforts
of
our
general
management
team
is
to
to
provide
tolling
education,
get
transponders
and
accounts.
P
You
know
into
the
community
so
that
you
know
people
understand
the
system
and
can
use
it
from
day
one
in
terms
of
the
rates
again,
we
we
wanted
to
offer
subsidized
rates
to
biloxi
residents,
so
those
are
estimated
to
start
at
a
dollar
to
a
dollar
25
per
trip,
and
then
we're
also
going
to
offer
an
unlimited
use
pass
or
all
you
can
eat
type
type
pass.
That's
estimated
to
start
at
30
to
35
a
month,
so
that's
specifically
gonna
gonna
benefit
those
drivers
and
those
community
residents
that
use
the
bridge
multiple
times
a
day.
P
And
you
know
this
is
an
important
part
to
offer.
You
know
preference
to
biloxi
residents
and
then
also
you
know
in
talking
to
the
community.
We
understand
the
bridge
is
used.
You
know
parents
are
just
trying
to
get
their
kids
to
school,
so
we're
also
going
to
offer
a
school
commuter
discount
and
we're
looking
into
that
right
now.
But
you
know
we.
P
We
think
that
this
is
a
structure,
that's
beneficial
for
the
area
again,
tolling
is
the
way
to
most
quickly
implement
the
project,
and-
and
this
is
what
what
we've
included
in
our
offering
so.
D
P
This
is
this
is
assuming
that
we
are
going
to
fully
fund
the
project
and
any
sort
of
other
funds
that
are
contributed.
Obviously,
it
depends
when,
when
they
can
be
secured,
what
the
what
the
cost
of
the
project
is
at
that
point,
how
many
years
down
the
line
it
is.
But
yes,
these.
These
are
the
rates
that
we've
proposed,
assuming
that
we
are
going
to.
P
So
so,
we've
included
protections
that
we
will
put
in
the
development
agreement
for
the
city
of
biloxi
number,
one
in
terms
of
our
funding,
we'll
provide
a
letter
from
our
chairman
showing
that
the
funds
have
been
dedicated
for
this
project
in
this
project.
Only
so
it's
you
know
proof
that
the
the
project
is
going
to
be
fully
funded
from
day
one
in
terms
of
quality
assurance.
P
You
know
we
understand
the
city
and-
and
we
see
this
on
our
other
projects-
the
city
might
not
have
the
in-house
capability
to
review
a
project
and
the
designs
for
a
project
of
this
magnitude,
and
so
we've
offered
to
to
fund
an
independent
regulatory
review
engineer
that
will
pay
for
that
will
work
for
the
city
to
review
all
of
our
plans
to
make
sure
they're
in
line
with
all
you
know,
state
and
federal
guidelines.
P
I
think
that
the
city
intends
to
use
neil
shafer,
probably
in
that
role
in
terms
of
inspections,
we're
going
to
abide
by
the
the
federal
standards
for
inspections.
So
once
the
bridge
is
open,
it'll
be
on
a
every
two
year
basis
and
will
provide
those
inspection
reports
to
the
city
and
and
to
the
state
department
of
transportation.
P
If
we
fail
to
to,
you
know,
operate
at
to
a
high
standard,
there
are
also
reversion
clauses,
meaning
that
the
bridge,
the
brand
new
bridge
would
would
revert
to
the
city
free
of
free
of
charge.
P
If
we,
for
whatever
reason
fail
to
perform-
or
you
know,
don't
abide
by
the
terms
of
the
contract
and
then
the
totaling
rates
that
I
that
I've
told
you
here
today
will
be
memorialized
in
the
contract
as
well
and
any
sort
of
you
know
the
process
for
modifying
those.
Those
rates
will
also
be
included,
and
then,
finally,
as
I
mentioned,
the
local
office
right,
we're
not
going
to
be
a
faceless
company
that
that
delivers
the
bridge
and
then
you'll
never
see
us
again.
P
You
know
we'll
have
a
local
presence
here
in
biloxi,
so
if
you
have
to
voice
a
complaint
or
just
want
face-to-face
interaction,
you
can
come
in
and
see
us,
so
we
can
go
forward
just
the
last
thing
I
would
want
to
address
today.
So
we
wanted
to
understand
how
the
community
feels
about
this
type
of
project.
Given
it's
it's
a
very
new
concept,
and
so
we
commissioned
some
focus
groups
to
be
done.
P
P
They
don't
want
to
pay
for
something
that
that
they're
not
currently
paying
for-
and
that's
not
that's,
not
unexpected,
but
there
were
some
some
interesting
findings
from
from
the
focus
group,
the
first
one
being
you
know,
there's
clearly
a
need
to
replace
the
project
to
replace
the
bridge,
and
you
know
the
residents
that
attended
the
focus
groups
want
it
replaced
sooner
rather
than
later
right.
They,
they
talked
about
the
time
they
wasted
in
traffic.
P
The
issues
they
had
with
the
drawbridge
the
congestion
issues,
things
of
that
nature,
so
it
was
it
was
the
need
for
the
project
was
very
clearly
established,
also
not
unexpected.
They
would
prefer
that
you
know
the
government
replace.
You
know
fully
fund
the
project,
but,
interestingly
they
they
acknowledge
that
they
didn't
have
confidence
that
that
could
be
done
in
a
timely
manner.
So
taking
that
into
account,
they
understand
that
this
is
a
very
good
way
to
accelerate
delivery
of
the
project
and
make
this
happen
now.
P
You
know
people
want
a
new
bridge
and
they
want
the
the
project
to
be
delivered
soon
and
with
that
they're
willing
to
accept
and
come
around
on
a
toll
once
you
educate
them
and
explain
the
situation
to
them.
So
you
know
these.
These
focus
groups
gave
us
confidence
that
that
this
approach
could
could
work
in
biloxi,
and
you
know
we
could
educate
the
public
on
why
this
is
a
good
idea
for
for
biloxi
so
going
forward.
P
You
know
I'll
just
I'll
reiterate
that
you
know
we're
excited
to
get
started
on
the
project,
as
I
said,
we're
we're
ready
to
proceed
whenever
you
are
at
the
city,
and
you
know
with
that.
I'm
happy
to
to
take
any
questions
that
that
you
all
might
have.
Q
I
I
have
just
three
comments:
the
the
first
one
is-
and
this
may
be
for
peter
too.
Q
If
is
there
an
opportunity
to
create
for
lack
of
a
better
phrase,
an
economic
opportunity
corridor,
almost
working
like
a
tiff
and
if
there's
economic
development
around
the
corridor
that
this
bridge
goes
in
those
those
funds
could
go
in
to
offset
the
overall
total
cost
and
we
could
reduce
those
costs
to
to
our
citizens.
That's
one
comment:
the
other
comment
is
on
the
time
timeline.
You
know
it
took
considerable
less
time
to
rebuild
the
ocean
springs
biloxi
bridge
after
katrina,
and
you
know
this.
Q
You
mentioned
four
years
and
that
may
be
a
moving
timeline
depending
on
what
happens
and
then
the
last
thing
you
mentioned
that
you're
giving
2
million
a
2
million
dollar
fee
to
the
city,
paying
for
a
dedicated
employee.
For
you
know
I
guess
engineering
consulting
or
or
that
sort
of
thing.
If
you
took
that
out,
would
it
reduce
the
cost
or
reduce
the
toll,
cost.
P
Yeah
so
I'll
address
all
those
comments
to
to
your
last
comment.
Again.
This
is
about
170
million
dollar
project.
At
this
point,
so
the
2
million
is,
is
really
it
doesn't
have
a
big
impact
and
the
reason
we
include
that
is
because
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
devote
resources
on
the
project
and
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
you
know
the
funding
to
stay
involved
in
the
project.
P
Regarding
the
schedule,
you
know
that
the
pre-construction
period
is
extended
compared
to
a
normal
project,
just
because
of
those
long
lead
item
long
lead
time.
Items
like
I
talked
about
specifically
the
right-of-way
acquisition
and
then
there's
going
to
have
to
be
an
environmental
update
to
take
into
account
the
the
tolling
component
and
the
optimized
roadway.
So
there's
a
little
bit
more
time
on
the
front
end
and
then
a
two-year
construction
period
is
actually
a
pretty
aggressive
timeline.
P
So
you
know
we
didn't
want
to
be
too
aggressive
where
it
was
unrealistic,
but
we,
we
definitely
think
that's
an
achievable
timeline.
Okay,.
C
D
D
That
you
know
and
steve
has
been
working
with
us
on
how
to
accomplish
that,
and
we've
been
here.
Our
last
meeting
was
talking
about
how
this
can
be.
You
know
put
together
where
the
impact
to
the
citizens
would
be
minimizing
every
every
opportunity,
we're
hopeful
that
we
don't.
If
we
chose
today,
we
don't
want
to
be
boxed
out
of
you
know
the
opportunity
because,
as
it
was
said,
competition
is
going
to
be
some
kind
of
fierce
for
the
1.2
trillion
in
every.
D
I
don't
know
how
much
for
for
bridges,
but
it's
down
in
a
few
a
couple
hundred
billion
in
as
far
as
mississippi-
and
this
is
the
I
want
to
repeat
what
what's
what
steve's
gonna
say.
This
is
the
top
the
most
expensive
project
that
mdot
would
have
on
the
radar,
so
they
will
probably
wind
up
with
some
combination
of
both
in
whatever
workable
fashion.
But
to
you
know,
you
know
there.
We
can't
expect
a
total
refinancing
or
financing
project
any
kind
of
stretch.
D
We're
gonna
need
that
private
know-how
in
in
capital
to
accomplish
the
replacement
of
this
bridge.
So
I
didn't
answer
your
question,
but
we
don't
want
to
box
our
way
out
of
this
by
you
know,
entering
into
an
agreement
that
would
would
keep
us
from
doing
that.
Well,
I
think
we'll
have
some
success.
We're
already
talking.
You
know
to
you,
know
different
folks
about
where
our
our
shots
could
come.
We've
engaged
steve,
tweet
and
neil
shafer
to
kind
of
parallel
our
efforts
with
ubp
and
and
figuring
out
what
the
actual
parallel
cost
see.
D
Don't
don't
let
me
say
anything:
it's
not
true,
but
you
know
we're
kind
of
focusing
on
together.
This
makes
sense,
you
know
and
again,
to
take
advantage
of
anything
that
may
come
our
way
and
they're
willing
they've
been
great
partners
into
saying
this
makes
sense,
because
these
are
extraordinary
times
with
all
this.
This
talk
of
infrastructure,
otherwise
we'd
be
out
by
ourself.
The
only
one
way
out
and
ubp
would
be
the
only
way
out
unless
you
want
to
wait
15
more
years.
Is
that
a
fair
statement.
P
Yeah
I
mean
the
the
other
thing
I
would
say
just
on
the
on
the
federal
funding,
as
I
said,
they're
they're,
extremely
competitive.
So
just
to
give
you
a
reference
point
about,
40
billion
dollars
was
included
for
for
bridge
projects
in
the
new
bill.
225
million
has
come
down
to
mississippi
through
mdot
for
bridge
projects,
so
it's
about
45
million
dollars
a
year.
P
You
know
the
project
will
also
be
eligible
for
a
new
grant
program.
The
bridge
investment
program.
But
again
it's
going
to
be
extremely
competitive
to
secure
that
funding
and
there's
only
about
12
and
a
half
billion
over
five
years.
So
you
know,
I
think
that
we
also
have
to
be
realistic,
that
it
is
going
to
be
extremely
difficult
to
secure
those
funds,
and
I
you
know
I
want
to
be
sensitive
to
the
time
if
it
takes
two
years
to
to
get
those
funds,
the
cost
of
the
project
might
go
up.
P
D
Let
me
address
from
the
valve
home
and
talking
about
that,
you
know.
If
those
corridors
are
there,
then
we
may
be
able
to.
Aside
from
this,
you
know
interact
with
the
people
who
use
that
directly.
You
know
as
long
as
that,
30
dollars
a
month
is,
is
subsidized
some
kind
of
way
the
net
impact
is
the
same.
So
these
other
things
that
we
expect
to
come
along
with
the
development
of
this
thing.
Will
you
know
we'll
have
some
you
know
a
monetization
of
the
you
know
ability
to
do
that
and
reduce
it.
D
C
So
my
question
to
clarify
this:
we
have
kesla
there's
homeland
security.
We
have
evacuation
routes
for
kiesla
air
force
base
and
a
lot
of
military,
so
we
say
it's
competitive,
but
somebody
needs
to
step
up.
I'm
just
saying
I
had
no
problem
getting
this
started
and
I'm
just
saying
you
create
the
money
to
pay
it
off.
There's
no
reason
for
us
not
to
be
able
to
do
that.
We
got
to
evacuate
kesla.
J
I
I
had
one
question
and
it
has
to
do
with
right-of-way
acquisition.
This
is
a
question
that
has
come
up
at
multiple
ward
meetings,
and
I
know
that
you'll
probably
all
be
asked
that
question
again
today.
We've
just
finished
one
finishing
one
and
and
then
has
one
in
the
way
where
we're
doing
a
lot
of
right-of-way
acquisition,
and
we
do
that
through
the
just
compensation
methodology
or,
if
forced
to
through
in
a
domain.
P
Yeah,
so
we
we
follow
all
the
same
rules
in
terms
of
compensation.
J
P
You
know
providing
them
all
the
all
the
rules
under
the
law
right
we
would,
we
would
fund
and
execute
those
property
acquisitions,
and
then
they
would
be
titled
in
the
in
the
name
of
the
city.
If
we
do
if
we
ran
into
a
challenge
that
was
insurmount
insurmountable
from
a
public
from
a
private
perspective,
we
would
look
to
work
with
the
city
to
you
know
exert
some
of
your
privileges
in
terms
of
you,
know,
eminent
domain,
and
you
know
property
acquisition
in
that
way.
H
I
didn't
well,
I
did
but
the
mayor
and-
and
he
addressed
the
time
value
of
money
I
remember,
and
this
project
is
well.
If
the
war
lines
go
well,
today
will
be
100
in
my
ward-
and
I
remember
when
I
first
took
office,
we
discussed
this
project
and
it
was
about
125
million
and
now
we're
at
170
million,
and
so
inflation
on
cost
of
goods
is
rising
even
faster
than
it
has
in
the
previous
eight
years.
Am
I
correct,
I
mean
so
we're
talking
about
we're
talking
about
going
from
a
170
million
dollar
project.
N
N
N
So
we
had
the
grace
of
not
dealing
having
to
deal
with
this
kind
of
price
escalation
for
a
long
time-
and
you
know-
we've
been
at
this
a
number
of
years
now,
this
issue's
hitting
us
this
isn't
like
every
year.
This
is
hitting
us
every
month
and
like
every
week
now
so.
N
N
Let
me,
and
I'm
going
to
say
this
and
I'm
going
to
be
as
of
today
right
now.
Yes,
I
mean,
but
I
I
I
I
gotta
tell
you
we
three
months
from
now.
Six
months
from
now,
I
we
we
will
not
be
able
to
necessarily
say
the
exact
same
price,
so
I
don't
want
to
mislead
on
any
of
this.
This
is
going
up
exponentially
right
now
and
we're
seeing
it
on
a
daily
basis.
N
So
when
I
st,
when
we
mentioned
at
the
start
that
there's
certainty
the
notion
of
certainty
on
funding,
that
means
also
the
fixed
price.
Wherever
we
end
up
right
now,
we'd
have
to
recalibrate
because
it
just
keeps
moving.
So
you
get
the
certainty,
100
percent
of
the
funding,
and
you
know,
and
any
kind
of
grant
which
would
take
from
our
experience-
and
I
called
into
washington
on
a
couple
this
morning
about
kind
of
when
this
would
be
even
resolved
from
this
infrastructure
bill.
It's
likely
it's
going
to
take
a
year
to
even
get
grants.
N
This
is
not
a
first
quarter
thing
from
what
we
understand.
So
if
that's
assumptions
wrong-
and
you
can
get
it
sooner-
that's
great,
but
it
could
be
a
year
before
any
kind
of
money
is
even
allocated,
which
you
know
15
on
that's
25
million
right
there,
assuming
that
and
and
we
have
to
actually
plan
for
some
of
those
kinds
of
risks,
so
certainty
in
terms
of
the
price
and
the
fully
funding
of
literally
writing
the
check
right
up
now.
N
The
second
certainty
is
getting
it
done
and
I
know
ryan
glossed
over
it,
but
finding
a
contractor
or
construction
contractor
finding
the
labor
to
go
ahead
and
do
this
and
I
used
to
work
at
fedex.
So
I
understand
labor
shortages,
pretty
heavily,
that's
no
small
issue
either
and
there's
a
whole
two-year.
N
I
think
one
of
the
councilmen
mentioned
about
you
know
why
four
years
there's
two
years
of
prep
and
setup
on
right-of-way
and
environmental
and
all
those
things
in
two
years
of
construction.
So
there's
a
bunch
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
up
up
front
here,
but
it's
still
a
relatively
comp.
N
It's
an
extremely
compressed
time
from
what
we
understand
from
outside
of
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
helps
at
all,
but
this
is
we're
just
sharing
the
environment
that
we're
seeing
right
now.
You
know
this.
Isn't
our
first
presentation
we're
in
multiple
cities
we're
seeing
it
all
the
time
we're
seeing
we're
seeing
this,
and
you
know
I'm
just
going
to
say
one
other
thing
and
I'll
turn
it
over.
N
There
isn't
one
city
we've
gone
to
where
someone's
come
up
and
hugged
me
afterwards
and
said:
thank
you
for
tolling
us
I've
yet
to
have
that.
But
what
we
have
found
at
the
end
of
the
day
after
a
lot
of
difficult
conversations,
is
it's
a
hard
trade-off
decision
and
the
trade-off
decision
or
one
way
of
thinking
about
that
is,
do
I
want
do
we
want
to
get
a
new
structure
now
local
labor
and
all
those
kinds
of
things,
an
injection
in
the
economy?
N
R
Yeah,
I
may
be
repeating
some
of
the
questions
that
are
already
been
asked
right
now,
we're
looking
at
a
150
to
180
million
dollar
construction
project,
and
I
think
george
brought
up
something
about
money
being
matched
federal
funds
and
possibly
fema
grants
infrastructure
deals.
Is
there
an
early
opportunity
to
pay
off
early?
P
R
Okay
and
the
other
thing
I
had
you
talked-
you
spoke
about
the
discount
with
the
parents
taking
their
kids
to
school.
You
know
and
of
course,
coming
from
some
of
the
communities
every
city
that
has
challenges
underprivileged
people
who
sometimes
may
not
be
able
to
afford
that
in
some
aspects.
So
that
would
be
my
other
concern.
R
I
know
the
buses
will
be
free,
but
if
a
child
runs
late
and
this
child
was
coming
from
another
side
of
town,
but
they
have
to
cross
the
bridge
and
go
to
work
at
the
same
time
instead
of
going
all
the
way
around.
Those
are
some
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
with
this
project.
So
if
that
could
be
addressed
in
some
way,
then
that
would
be
helpful.
D
We
have
a
plan
and
we're
waiting
on
some
some.
I
guess
some
funding
either
through
chrissy
or
a
raise
and
some
and
maybe
some
of
our
use
tax
would
be
used
to
expand,
extend
you
know
the
the
south
part
of
phase
two
to
coliseum.
That's
we're!
D
P
Yeah
I'll
say
as
part
of
our
proposal
and
in
talking
to
the
city
we
have
offered
to
to
make
up
the
balance
of
that
funding.
But,
as
I
understand
the
city
is
continuing
to
look
for,
you
know
more
traditional
public
sources
for
phase
one,
the
extension
in
90.
P
We've
offered
a
what's
called
a
feasibility
study
to
study
some
of
the
environmental
impacts,
the
the
traffic
impacts
of
that
project.
So
you
know
that'll
just
sort
of
get
the
ball
rolling
on
that
phase
of
the
project,
but
in
terms
of
the
the
schedule
and
our
delivery,
it's
for
the
phase
two
bridge
and
roadway.
A
A
P
Yeah,
so
the
all
electronic
system
has
has
cameras,
it'll
take
a
picture
of
your
license
plate.
You
know
your
license,
plate
will
be
looked
up
and
then
an
invoice
will
be
sent
to
your
house.
That's
that's
how
those
accounts
are
told.
P
A
There
paul
mr
lawrence.
P
So
it's
going
to
be
east
of
the
existing
structure.
P
No,
so
the
the
the
landing
or
the
touchdown
point
would
be,
I
believe,
on
it's
currently
a
vacant
lot,
yeah,
okay,
so
the
the
landing
point
of
the
bridge
is
going
to
be
a
little
bit
further
south
just
to
make
way
for
the
higher
bridge,
but
we
don't
anticipate
any
any
businesses
being
relocated.
P
D
Pleasure,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
and
I'm
sure
we'll
you
know
we'll
the
fuse
is
lit
and
I
think
you
know
we're
we're
looking
forward
to.
You
know
the
right
solution.
Steve.
Would
you
want
to
make
any
comment
on
what
we've
done?
We've
engaged
steve
and
neil
shafer
to
kind
of
parallel
and
do
the
horsepower
we
need
in
order
to
make
sure
we're
moving
down
the
right
path
together
with
ubp.
A
Yeah,
this
is
steve
tweet
with
neil
shafer
steve.
A
S
So
I
would
like
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
history
of
the
corridor.
Potts
ferry
road
corridor
is
one
of
your
functionally
classified
roads
in
the
city
of
biloxi.
S
These
are
your
arterials
and
your
collectors,
but
they're,
not
your
city
streets,
and
so
what
that
means
is
as
a
functionally
classified
road,
it's
eligible
for
federal
money
and
the
federal
money
can
come
to
you
through
congressional
earmarks
or
sort
through
some
of
these
grants
through
mdot
administer
program
funds
or
from
gulf
regional
planning.
Commission
they
they
have
federal
money
that
you
can
spend
on
these
quarters,
and
these
federal
funds
usually
require
a
match.
80
20
is
the
most
common
match.
S
S
These
congressional
ear
marks
they've
been
used
to
kind
of
get
this
project
off
the
ground.
You
all
had
an
ear
mark
and
that
was
used
to
do
the
environmental
process
and
to
perform
the
design
for
the
project.
So
that's
kind
of
where
you
are
there.
Also,
there's
some
of
that
earmarked
money
left
over
and
so
that
earmarked
money
is
what's
going
to
pay
for
the
reevaluation
of
this
environmental
document.
S
That'll
be
80,
20
money
and
I
think
that's
the
contract
that
was
just
added
to
your
agenda,
so
that'll
be
80,
20,
federal
earmark
money
and
what
this
environmental
document
does
is
it's
required
by
federal,
highway
administration
on
all
projects
that
use
federal
funds,
it's
kind
of
a
compilation
of
individual
studies
and
they
look
at
the
natural
and
the
human
environment.
So
what's
in
that
environmental
document,
you
have
like
traffic
capacity,
wetlands,
noise,
threatening
endangered
species,
historic
residences,
historic
structures
and
then
how
many
people
you're
relocating
and
there's
there's
other
stuff.
S
But
basically
you
look
at
all
those
different
things.
When
you
do
an
environmental
document
and
then
you
have
a
lot
of
public
involvement,
you
engage
the
public,
you
show
them
what
the
impacts
are
and
that
kind
of
helps
you
decide
what
your
project
needs
to
be,
so
that
environmental
document
is
not
an
environmental
permit.
That's
just
a
document
that
kind
of
commits
you
to
building
a
particular
project.
S
So
you
have
an
approved
environmental
document
for
this
bridge.
It
was
approved
in
2019,
but
that
environmental
study
did
not
include
a
tooling
component.
So
that's
what
that
contract
basically
does.
There
are
a
few
other
individual
studies
that
are
going
to
need
to
be
updated.
I
think
they've
added
a
new
aquatic
species
to
the
threatening
endangered
species
list,
so
we'll
look
at
that.
S
One
thing
that
the
mayor
has
charged
me
with
is
make
sure
that
this
corridor
remains
eligible
for
federal
funding.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
have
to
reevaluate
this
environmental
document,
then,
like
george,
says,
if
you
want
to
add
a
federal
grant
or
you're
able
to
get
some
money
from
this
from
the
state
through
their
federal
appropriation,
you
can
apply
it
to
this
project.
So
we
have
to
have
this
environmental
document.
S
For
that
purpose,
now,
with
the
new
infrastructure
bill
that
was
just
passed,
the
infrastructure,
investment
and
jobs
act,
there
are
some
grant
opportunities.
You
know,
there's
the
large
bridge
program,
the
competitive
bridge
program.
We
talked
about
12.5
billion
dollars
that
money's
going
to
go
somewhere,
you
know,
is
it
a
long
shot?
Well,
it
all
depends
on
the
merits
of
your
project
and
if
you
have
some
of
the
funding
in
place,
whether
it's
private
funds
for
public
funds-
and
you
have
a
need,
I
think
these
grants
are
realistic.
I've
seen
them
gulfport's
getting
grants.
S
Hattiesburg
gets
grant.
So
there's
no
reason
why
biloxi
can't
get
a
federal
grant
for
this
bridge.
You
know
if
you
don't.
Maybe
you
have
an
option,
but
if
you
do
you
want
to
keep
this
quarter
eligible
for
federal
money.
So
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
this
contract
and
also
representing
the
city
going
forward.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
it
eligible
for
federal
money.
S
We
do
all
of
the
procurement
right
for
engineering
services
by
the
right
of
way,
according
to
federal
guidelines,
procure
your
contract
according
to
federal
guidelines
and
and
follow
all
those
steps
make
sure
that
you
stay
eligible
for
federal
money.
So
that's
first
step
is
that
that
contract
that
you
all
have
today
so.
D
Stephen,
I
think
you
you're
saying
that
all
these
this
competition
for
these
federal
monies
we're
at
every
late
stage
and
level.
Almost
all
I'm
going
to
have
some
sort
of
private
contribution
to
you
know
to
be
successful
in
the
in
the
award.
Uvp
would
almost
help
that
or
be
part
of
that
private
contribution.
D
S
Correct
like
say
that
one
of
these
federal
grant
programs
was
an
80
20
match
and
your
project
was
was
200
million
you're
gonna
have
to
still
come
up
with
40
million
dollars
if
it's
a
50
50
match
you're
going
to
have
to
come
up
with
100
million
dollars.
So
even
though
getting
a
federal
grant
can
significantly
reduce
the
amount
of
of
money
that
you
have
to
recoup
through
tolls
or
whatever
other
finance
mechanisms
you
have
you're
still
going
to
have
to
have
some
local
money
to
match
the
federal
is.
S
D
A
T
I'll
I'll
be
brief.
I
met
messaged
you,
mr
leonard
a
couple
of
times
about
some
signage
in
eastland
and
glen
eagle,
and
I
just
wanted
to
check
on
the
status
of
that
as
well
as
since
they've
shut
down
the
cedar
lake
on-ramp.
T
We
have
a
lot
more
traffic
coming
down
wool
market
road
and
at
certain
times
in
the
day,
that'll
get
backed
up,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
traffic
trying
to
avoid
that
so
they're
cutting
through
on
larkin
and
sparrow
to
get
back
out
to
67.,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
could
get.
J
T
Eastland
and
then
glen
eagle,
glen
eagle,
right
yeah,
I
think
glenn
eagle
has
sonoma
and
glen
eagle
drive,
there's
two
roads
in
there
and
then
eastland
is
just
a
circle,
but
if
we
could
add
a
larkin
and
sparrow
some
kind
of
signage,
because
we
have
a
lot,
especially
commercial
vehicles,
cutting
through
on
sparrow
and
larkin,
trying
to
avoid
that
traffic.
That's
that
we're
getting
because
of
that
on-ramp.
T
T
Q
You,
mr
president,
thank
you,
mr
president.
I
just
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
things
in
my
report.
The
biloxi
soccer
organization
had
their
kickoff
of
the
new
season
very
well
attended
great
job
by
parks
and
recreation.
Getting
that
event
ready
shout
out
to
their
league
president
billy
carroll
for
a
great
job
that
he
did,
the
weather
was
great
and
they
had
hundreds
of
families
and
kids
that
participated,
and
it's
just.
A
Q
See
the
community
you
know
getting
out
the
energy
that
we
we
need
to
see
drainage
from
land
yap
apartments,
I'm
still
getting
complaints
from
some
residents
from
the
back
of
lan
yap
apartments
over
to
brody,
road
and
and.
Q
J
Not
brody.
Q
From
the
apartments,
the
drainage
from
the
apartments,
and
then
I
met
with
four
or
five
of
the
residents
out
on
road
526
they
are.
They
would
like
to
consider
vacating
a
private
road
for
the
city.
They
also
need
some
easements
and
variances
for
city
and
sewer.
They
are
completely
on
well
independent
of
city
and
sewer.
Q
There's
some
new
builds
out
there,
the
agri
guards,
the
jhumavilles
mr
pace,
yeah,
there's
at
least
seven
or
eight
homes
out
there
now
the
newman's,
jeremiah
and
kelly
among
others,
and
then.
Finally,
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
on
something:
that's
on
the
agenda
today,
the
award
lines.
I
know
we
had
a
first
reading.
I
know
we'll
have
more
discussions,
but
I've
tried
to
spend
some
time
with
a
few
residents
that
this
is
going
to
affect
I've.
I've
rode
the
new
proposed.
Q
Q
Eight
years
ago
we
did
it
right
in
the
middle
of
the
election
and
it
was
very
controversial
and
I
think
the
sooner
we
take
care
of
this
piece
of
business,
the
the
better
if
we
need
to
take
a
little
bit
more
time,
that's
fine,
but
I'm
for
getting
it
settled
sooner
than
later,
and
that
concludes
my
report.
H
I
don't
have
much
I've
spoken
with
everyone
about
issues
prior
to
the
meeting.
However,
I
did
speak
with
some
of
the
bridge
partners
and
I
wanted
to
host
a
ward
meeting
here
in
the
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
maybe
at
the
beginning
of
january.
After
all
the
holidays,
if
you
guys
are
willing
to
attend
at
that
point,
to
discuss
this
with
the
majority
of
the
residents
that
it
will
directly
impact.
F
R
Yeah
I
just
had
one
issue
concerning
one
of
my
residents
with
some
of
the
infrastructure
work.
He
had
to
do
some
repairs,
so
I
would
like
for
us
to
kind
of
start
mainstreaming
some
of
the
way
we
take
care
of
residents,
we're
still
in
the
taking
care
of
residents,
business
and
there's
a
little
disappointed
in
some
of
the
way
it
went
about.
So
if
we
can
pay
attention
to
detail
and
make
sure
we
if
we
say
something
to
our
residents,
we
need
to
hold
up
to
it.
Thank
you.
J
C
J
J
J
C
J
Yeah,
it
wasn't.
The
first
thing
I
did
was
I
I
took
a
picture
of
the
codes
on
the
can
to
make
sure
that
they
were
where
they
were
supposed
to
be,
because
we
find
that
problem.
Sometimes
I
think
when
they
go
missing
from
one
place
and
show
up
in
another,
but
those
were
legitimate
cans,
there's
not
a
certificate
of
occupancy
on
that
building.
Right
now,
so
we're
surprised
it's
occupied
jerry,
I'm
saying
we're
surprised
it's
occupied,
since
they
don't
have
a
c.o.
C
U
As
long
as
this
weather
holds
up,
he's
got
a
lot
of
equipment
and
labor
out
there.
So
I'd
say
within
the
next
month.
U
C
You
know-
and
I
was
wondering
it's
nice
and
I
think
about
two
feet
higher
than
it
was
so
that's
great
for
the
hard
times,
but
the
grass
is
sticking
past
the
concrete
and
we're
gonna
cut
the
grass
on
the
other
side,
because
you
don't
want
to
see
the
grass
I'm
just
saying
you
know
we
got
the
beautiful
concrete.
Now
a
nice
walkway,
I
don't
know
with
the
grass
growing
up.
That's
the
idea.
What
we
did
this
to
get
rid
of
that.
C
And
I
don't
know.
D
D
C
D
A
A
C
A
Somebody
speak
with
the
employees
by
department
just
to
let
them
know
how
the
process
works,
who
to
contact
answer.
Any
questions
say
easterly
is
happy
to
explain
any
details
and
his
staff,
but
I
know
that
we
had
covert
in
between,
but
I
just
know
from
time
to
time
we
get
caught
soon.
Other
council
members
get
calls.
A
I
get
called
questions
about
insurance,
but
we've
got
bancor
south
with
sy
easterling
I
mean
that's,
that's
what
we're
paying
for
he's
happy
to
do
that,
but
I
really
think
we
should
do
that
and
the
sooner
we
can
get
it
going.
D
You
know
there's
some
growing
pains
with
the
switch,
but
I
think
those
are
settled.
You
know.
At
least
you
know
the
things
that
the
things
that
I've
come
across
it
seems
to
have
a
you
know.
A
transition
was
was
pretty
smooth
and
I
think
now
is
a
proper
time
to
now.
Let's
engage
on
some
of
the
things
that
will
give
us
the
city
of
biloxi
and
its
employees.
A
long-term
benefit,
stay
healthy,
do
the
right
things
we'll
be
better
off
well,
but.
A
I
I
don't
know
if
y'all
are
going
to
set
up
a
schedule
to
do
that.
I'd
like
to
be
informed.
I'd
like
to
go
I'd
like
to
answer
the
questions,
but
it's
just
I'm
tired
of
asking
after
a
couple
of
years.
So
I'd
appreciate
that
if
we
could
get
that
going,
I
think
the
employees
would
appreciate
it
as
well.
Next
item
self-addressed
envelopes
with
water
bills
a
couple
of
months
ago.
We
thought
it
was
a
good
idea.
I
mean
it's
just
an
envelope.
Sticking
it
in
the
other
envelope.
D
You
know,
there's
probably
a
combination
of
those
kinds
of
things.
What
we're
looking
at
is
some
automation
to
make
things
a
lot
more
graceful
right
now.
You
only
have
one
option,
so
you
know
we're
sending
out
about
14
000
bills,
and
if
there
are
some
ways
you
know
through
technology
to
reduce
that
and
then
those
who
not
do
not
use
the
technology.
That's
that's
available.
Those
you
know
if
we
reduce
it
to
five
or
six
thousand
of
those
envelopes
without
impacting
anybody.
That's
the
course.
A
Well,
I
mean
it's
just
I
mean
we
could
do
it
if
it
ends
up
being
five
or
six
thousand
envelopes
a
month.
I
think
we
have
fourteen
thousand
accounts
right,
most
folks
pay
for
it
digitally
great,
but
some
are
not
going
to
do
that.
Some
are
never
going
to
do
that.
It'd
just
be
nice
to
have
sticking
envelope
self
addressed,
we'll
continue
to
look
get
it
back
with
a
stamp.
A
I
see
sherry
bell
in
the
back
chair
if
you'd
come
up.
I
I
had
asked
earlier
about
playground
equipment
at
pennzoil
park
and-
and
I
know
that
you
were
looking
into
that.
W
Yeah
all
the
playground
from
pennzoil,
severo
and
o'reilly
fitness
has
been
given
to
purchasing
to
to
bid
out
all
the
specifications
are
done
and
they've
been
given
to
keith
to
go
ahead
with
the
packets.
I'm.
V
W
To
get
them
back
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
then,
of
course,
you
know
with
all
the
shipping
and
the
manufacturer
problems,
because
mr
george,
the
borders
at
circle
park
are
on
back
order
because
of
shipping
issues
for
the
playground.
So
just
to
let
you
know,
but
I'm
hoping
to
have
everything
installed
in
all
by
the
spring
early
spring
or
before
that.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
miss
bill.
That
concludes
my
report.
That
brings
us
to
the
public
agenda
and
citizens
comments.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
to
the
council
has
three
minutes
to
do
so,
we'll
set
aside
up
to
45
minutes.
If
that,
if
there
are
that
many
people
who
wish
to
speak
when
you're
recognized,
please
come
to
the
table,
speak
clearly
into
the
mic,
your
name
and
your
address.
So
the
clerk
can
record
that
accurately
and
sign
in
there
on
the
sign
in
sheet.
Mr
ramsey
you're
up.
X
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
gilbert
ramsey,
I'm
a
military
veterans
outreach
specialist
in
the
community
today,
gina
romano
is
having
a
seminar
online
she's,
a
chamber
with
uspto
to
introduce
humanitarian
patent.
That's
what
I'm
doing
with
her,
but
right
now,
I'm
introducing
something
else.
I'm
introducing
blue
economy
quality
of
life
initiative
coastal
one
initiative
with
restored
council,
because
I
have
a
bp
contract
to
incorporate
this
higher
learning
education
opportunity,
retain
the
students
and
also
you
know
eric
sparks
with
the
master
nationalist
program,
history
state
university
to
encourage
people
to
get
outdoors
and
go
fishing.
X
What
I'm
looking
at
assistive
technology,
assisted
tourism?
Okay,
because
I
want
to
enable
everybody
opportunity
like
we
all
do
to
enjoy
outdoor
activities
to
enjoy
our
community.
So
what
I've
looked
at.
I've
looked
at
all
the
islands.
I
looked
at
the
the
pier
they
built
on
deer
island.
I
looked
at
the
track
they
built
on
deer
island.
I've
discussed
the
multiple
individuals
in
the
community
because
I'm
just
that
type
person,
no
one's
a
stranger
to
me.
Well
also,
I
reached
out
to
lieutenant
governor
yesterday
to
incorporate
a
l3c
corporation.
X
L3C
corporation
is
where
you
can
incorporate
501c3
with
llc,
and
so
I'm
doing
all
this
to
incorporate
everything
together
as
a
packet.
So
I'm
looking
to
islands
when
you
talk
about
the
islands
you're
talking
about
opportunities,
you're
talking
about
the
blue
economy,
quality
of
life
initiative
university,
southern
mississippi's
initiate
at
gupport
harbor.
So
I
looked
at
this
because
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
handled
appropriately
represent
mississippi
more
appropriately
instead
of
mystery
burning.
X
X
Mobile
alabama
2014
congress,
tourism
and
what
it
was
all
the
country
came
around
the
world
introduced
tourism
opportunities.
I
reached
out
to
sift
the
tourism
around
the
world,
an
organizat
and
all
these
organizations
came
back
and
require
white
type
products
the
service
have
to
offer.
So
what
I've
done?
I
retrofitted
everything
to
accommodate
the
physically
impaired.
X
I
am.
I
have
done
this
on
my
own
provision.
I've
been
networking
since
governor
barbour
days.
I've
been
talking
for
quite
a
while.
The
talk
is
over
with
first
of
the
year
I'll,
be
in
jackson
to
do
the
l-3c
corporation
with
lieutenant
governor
and
with
all
my
associates,
and
I
have
this
for
y'all
to
make
sure
it's
come
forth
for
initiative
for
everybody's
capabilities.
X
I
have
this
because
I
want
to
take
my
family,
my
brothers
and
sisters
to
the
island.
When
I
talk
brother
says
I'm
talking
about
all
military
families,
because
that's
what
they
are
they're
my
brothers
and
sisters
and
I'm
trying
to
help
you
realize
this
if
we
can
take
them
to
islands,
what
is
that
going
to
encourage
like
gulf
now
seashore?
They
have
a
little
boat
that
goes
on
the
swamp.
What
is
that
come
on
now?
Let's
take
them
to
the
islands,
let
them
enjoy
it
like.
B
A
O
Good
afternoon
we
had
a
group
here
that
was
going
to
try
to
speak
in
a
citizen
forum,
but
unfortunately
time
took
it
so
we're
going
to
move
that
the
next
time
we're
here
on
the
subject,
but
first
thing
we'll
bring
up
circle
park,
still
does
not
have
any
of
its
lights
working
in
it
and
we
need
help
getting
that
up
and
going
again.
O
Homelessness
is
up,
seems
to
be
more
rampant
than
ever
in
there
and
some
of
our
petty
crime
and
stuff,
like
that,
so
hey,
we
could
use
the
help
in
there
next
week
or
next
time
that
you'll
meet
some
of
the
people
from
around
lighthouse
park
want
to
be
here
to
talk
about
some
of
the
homeless
situation
in
there,
the
concession
trailers
that
aren't
moved
et,
cetera,
et
cetera.
O
I
got
off
on
something
then,
when
we
were
talking
about
the
bridge
and
the
toll,
they
tried
this
on
west
bank
and
florida
by
putting
a
toll
on
the
bridge
coming
out
there.
The
businesses
in
that
area
suffered
because
people
knew
that
hey.
I
can
stay
in
orleans
and
go
shopping
or
any
areas
around
there
before
I'm
going
to
go
to
tulle.
I
don't
think
we
have
anything
interesting
enough
south
of
pop's
ferry
that
I
wouldn't
turn
around
and
go
back
to
diablo
and
go
shopping.
O
So
my
concern
is
the
loss
of
business
that
could
happen
in
there.
Second
of
all,
it's
going
to
turn
people
around
and
put
them
down
I-10,
where
we're
in
the
process
of
putting
the
new
gate
in,
and
I
think
it
could
really
really
create
some
problems.
I
think
the
toll
is
just
something
that
really
needs
to
be
looked
at.
We're
we're
unique
in
the
aspect.
We
have
two
north
south
corridors,
that's
it
and
if
you
you
know,
I
think,
on
the
short
term,
it's
really
really
going
to
hurt
business
in
there.
A
A
C
C
C
We're
changing
that
thing
there
that
don't
go
into
effect
until
the
next
group
of
people
come
into
office,
whoever
that
might
be,
but
right
now
we
got
elected
for
certain
areas
and
finally,
I
have
no
problem
changing
anything.
Maybe
we
need
to
look
at
something
add
streets,
take
streets
away,
it's
all
about
numbers,
peter!
You
got
any
suggestions.
C
M
Now
I
mean
to
your
point
of
when
do
they
take
effect
you
have
to
you
have
to
let
I
mean
it
clearly
has
to
take
effect
before
the
election,
so
the
people
can
elect
the
councilman
in
that
ward.
So
I
mean
it's
just
like
any
other
ordinance.
As
far
as
I
read
it
once
you
change
the
ward
lines,
they're
changed
it's
just
a
little
different
this
year
that
the
census
happened
to
occur
three
years
before
the
next
election
or
in
past
years.
M
C
A
All
right
anything
else,
mr
lawrence.
No
all
right!
Mr
glavin,
any
comments
already
made
my
comments.
Anybody
else
have
a
comment.
Mr
barrett.
I
just.
T
Tend
to
agree
with
what
mr
glavin
said
earlier,
I
believe
that
while
there's
certain
people
in
areas
that
I
hate
to
lose
in
my
ward,
because
I've
got
an
excessive
amount
of
people,
I
understand
the
importance
of
it
and
I
think,
to
to
keep
from
causing
confusion
like
in
the
past
that
it's
better
to
go
ahead
and
do
this
now
and
as
far
as
opinions
go,
I
think
you
know
we
just
get
a
ruling
from
the
secretary
of
state
or
attorney
general
on
when
this
goes
into
effect.
T
And
you
know
we
have
to
go
by
what
they
say
as
far
as
when
it
goes
into
effect.
But
while
I
hate
to
lose
some
people,
I
understand
the
need
that
we
have
to.
You
know
make
this
happen,
and
I
think
that
sooners,
better
than
later.
R
A
A
good
example
under
what's
proposed
I'll
I'll
gain
the
western
half
west
of
rich
avenue
and
bay
vista
south
of
old
bay
road.
So
if
I,
if
I
currently
live
on
the
west
side
of
ridge
avenue-
and
I
will
wake
up
tomorrow
with
a
burst
water
line
in
my
front
yard,
do
I
call
mr
deming
or
do
I
call
mr
tisdale.
M
A
Send
the
complaints
to
mr
mr
deming.
Thank
you
all
right.
We'll
call
for
the
question
on
item
a
all
in
favor
of
the
resolution
or
the
ordinance
is
presented
any
opposed.
None.
It's
a
7-0
vote
for
the
clerk.
A
B
A
T
V
There's
some
existing
many
storage
warehouses.
This
is
at
the
intersection
of
world
market
road
and
rain
road.
This
is
on
lorraine,
road,
north
of
wool
market
on
the
west
side
and
there's
some
existing
ones
in
there
that
haven't
been
used
for
a
long
time
behind
the
dollar
general
right,
mr
collins,
that
owns
the
store
by
you
has
bought
that
property
and
he
wants
to
redevelop
it
in
four
phases.
So.
T
That
that
property-
because
I
didn't
see
the
address
that
was
on
the
the
paperwork
on
the
map,
that
is
between
the
dollar
general
and
the
ball.
L
A
A
A
Any
other
questions
or
concerns,
if
not
we'll,
call
for
the
question
all
in
favor.
The
resolution
is
presented
and
they're
not
opposed.
That's
a
700
vote.
Thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
the
consent
agenda
I'll,
entertain
a
motion
by
mr
lawrence
in
a
second
by
mr
gaines,
we'll
start
with
mr
lawrence,
any
particular
items
of
concern.
Mr
lawrence.
C
Mike
we
got
a
we
buying,
seven
thousand
dollars
of
equipment
for
engineering.
Do
we
have
engineers?
I
thought
they
all
quit.
Do
we
have
anybody
left.
Not
funny.
Is
that
for
you.
J
It's
just
a
matter
of
moving
the
money
from
capital
into
tools
and
equipment,
so
it
was
just
the
the
items
were
gis
equipment
and
it
was
thought
that
they
were
in
one
functional
area
and
actually
it's
a
different
functional
leverage.
The
money's
in
the
budget
we're
just
moving
it
from
one
bucket
to
another.
C
Are
you
still
pretty
much
running
the
engineering
department?
Have
we
hired
anybody.
J
C
The
next
one
is
my
favorite
subject
e.
Is
this
costing
us
any
money
for
the
court
system.
M
No,
so
this
is
to
allow
the
deputy
clerks
to
swear
in
officers
for
their
summons.
C
And
david.
A
That's
that's
going
to
be
the
qq
agree
agreement
with
neil
shafer,
mr
tweet.
M
No
there's
there's
already
money
in
the
existing
pops
ferry
bridge
project,
and
so
our
portion
will
be
a
20
20
match
of
the
ultimate
cost,
for
what
steve
tweed
is
gonna
do
is
to
take
the
the
cost,
estimates
and
review
those
and
we're
gonna
focus
down
and
try
to
drill
down
to
that
major
question:
is
there
anything
that's
existing
in
the
history
of
this
contract
that
would
cut
us
off
from
any
future
federal
funding?
D
S
So
one
other
thing:
that's
in
the
scope
of
that
contract
that
we
didn't
discuss
earlier
is
detailed
cost
estimating
and
also
when
we
do,
the
tooling
study
we're
going
to
do
a
traffic
model.
So
we
can
project
what
traffic
we
use
the
toll
bridge.
I
mean
we
know
a
current
count.
We
can
grow
that
over
time
based
on
historic
growth
and
then
we
can
also
see
what
happens
when
you
introduce
various
tolls.
You
know
people
will
divert
take
other
routes.
S
You
want
to
find
an
optimum
number
so
now
you'll
know
the
cost
of
the
bridge
and
you'll
also
know
how
much
revenue
can
be
generated
with
the
bridge
and
that'll
help
you
in
negotiations
with
you,
know:
private
funding
sources,
but
right
the
contract
is
80,
20
money,
so
80
of
us
federally
funded.
H
J
H
H
J
Junkers
on
loan
from
the
police
department
we've
got.
A
Thank
you,
mr
glavin.
It's
just
a
note.
I
guess,
on
item
j,
that's
a
change
order.
Six,
and
this
is
really
for
the
clerk.
It's
a
scrivener's
error
in
there.
I
believe
the
fourth,
whereas
has
written
two
days
two
days
and
then
in
parentheses,
following
that
the
number
14
14
days.
So
I
think
it
was
just
a
cut
and
paste
error.
I
checked
with
mr
rhodey
and
he
said
that
the
additional
time
being
added
as
part
of
that
change
order
is
14
days
not
two
days.
That's
just
a
point
of
clarification.
A
A
And
any
exceptions
noted
by
the
council
members
everybody's.
A
V
Yes,
sir
many
times
it's
it's
been
in
bad
shape.
We've
brought
it
before
the
council
before
we've
had
several
structures
taken
down
on
the
property,
we've
had
a
swimming
pool
removed
on
the
property
and
other
than
this
house.
There
is
one
small
shed
there
that
will
be
coming
back
later
to
get
taken
down.
A
O
I
think,
as
you
heard,
this
property
has
been,
it
was
purchased.
I
think
late
2015.
The
problem
started
immediately
in
2016..
O
Miss
liu
has
definitely
demonstrated
to
the
city
and
both
to
the
council
that
she
is
very
good
at
her
stories
and
has
not
followed
through.
There
have
been
over
that
period
of
time
approximately
six
different
tenants
in
there
each
time
she
claims
to
have
sold.
It
has
an
agreement
with
them.
The
tenants
usually
end
up
with
the
shaft.
The
property
ends
up
in
worse
shape,
since
we
were
here
in
may,
and
she
made
that
spew
with
you
about
how
she's
going
to
get
right
with
jesus.
She
has
been
absent.
O
The
neighbors
are
knowing
the
yards
up
front,
the
back.
It's
shoulder
deep,
the
sheds
we're
having
problems
with
homeless
people
in
it.
One
of
our
neighbors,
which
I
think
is
going
to
speak
here,
we're
having
constantly
keep
the
gates
up.
This
would
be
different
than
any
other
situation
if
just
something
was
happening,
but
we're
talking
going
on
five
years
that
nothing,
absolutely
nothing
but
deterioration.
The
ceilings
are
falling
down
and
windows
are
broke
out.
The
homeless
recognizes
this
place
to
go.
This
is
an
immense
property
in
land
size.
O
There
are
six
homes
that
surround
it
that
are
having
to
deal
with
the
stuff.
The
police
department
can
testify
about
how
many
times
they've
been
called
out
on
on
noise
ordinances
and
whatnot
out
there.
I
just
implore
you
all
to
just
let's
be
done
with
this,
since
I
said
this
last
time
here,
since
this
was
the
lot
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
casino
and
the
murder
happened
there,
everybody
that
has
lived
there
has
lost
this
house
unable
to
take
care
of
it.
O
I'm
not
one
to
say
that
there
is
such
things
as
a
bad
home,
but
if
there
ever
was
one
this
is
it
it
just
refuses
to.
Let
anybody
live
there
and
it
move
on
every
single
time.
Somebody's
moved
in
we've
gone
backwards.
It
is
just
it's
it's
beyond
the
point
that
we
just
can't
please
it's
time.
Thank
you.
A
Y
My
name
is
lyle
stevens,
I
own
a
363
forest
next
door.
I
was
going
to
go
through
a
quick
list
of
everything.
I've
owned
the
house
since
january
5th
of
this
year,
and
so
I
can't
speak
to
the
last
few
years,
but
I
can
speak
to
this
year.
I've
had
four
really
good
renters
passing
me
up
entirely
on
the
house
next
door,
just
surely
because
of
the
state
of
it
they
look
over
there
and
they
realize.
Y
What's
going
to
happen,
you
know
the
l-shape
that
property
goes
out
behind
my
house
and
I've
personally
kicked
probably
four
homeless
people
out
of
the
back
of
that
yard,
and
I
keep
the
I'm
the
one
that
keeps
that
fence
that
you
saw
on
the
photo
kind
of
up.
I
keep
it.
Y
You
know
locked
onto
my
fence
that
I
built
just
kind
of
keep
people
out
right
now:
the
backyard's,
probably
five
foot
tall
in
weeds,
knowing
such
that
I
was
here
for
the
original
meeting
in
may,
and
she
had
stated
that
you
know
miss
liu
stated
that
she
was
going
to
keep
it
but
keep
it
up
or
she
said
she's
going
to
get
contractors
in
something
along
those
lines.
Nothing
at
all
has
happened.
I've
constantly
got
rats
coming
in
from
that.
Y
You
can
see
the
where
they've
cut
under
my
fence
coming
into
my
yard,
and
I
just
finally
did
get
a
good
renter
into
my
house
and
they're
starting
to
deal
with
having
rodents
come
in
from
specifically
from
that
yard.
Right
now,
yeah
I
kicked
vagrants
out
multiple
times.
There's
code
violations
all
over
the
house.
You
know
I'm
an
engineer.
I
tell
you
all
about
the
plumbing.
I
see
it
running
along
the
outside
of
the
house.
The
contractors
they
have
had
come
in
to
try
to
fix
things.
Y
Just
scabbed
in
you
know
problematic
fixes.
Obviously,
they've
got
ac
units
on
the
top
of
the
house
that
aren't
even
mounted
down
or
anything
that's
about
it.
For
me,
to
be
quite
honest,.
Y
Yeah,
so
it's
been
an
experience,
though
I've
lost
a
lot
of
money
and
had
to
invest
a
lot
of
money.
I
wouldn't
have
had
to
build
that
fence
between
me
and
them
had
that
house
not
been
in
that
state.
I
wouldn't
have
worried
about
it.
You
know
that
was
three
thousand
dollars
right
there.
So
one
thing
after
another.
Y
Luckily
I
finally
do
have
a
renter
in
place
and
I'd
like
to
kind
of
get
that
taken
care
of
for
them
that
the
shed
that
they're
talking
about
in
the
back
is
directly
behind
my
house,
the
entrance
to
it
and
I've
seen
people
coming
in
and
out
of
that,
and
you
know
beyond
that-
that's
all
I've
got.
Z
My
name
is
lois
reedy
and
I
live
at
1091
columbus
street
lexi.
This
is
bay,
terrace
subdivision
and
mr
miller
and
I
represent
a
group.
I
think
mr
tielsdale's
actually
been
in
our
group
too.
We
have
a
very,
very
active
group
over
there
we're
trying
to
change
the
character
of
our
neighborhood.
It
used
to
be
lots
of
rentals,
and
now
we
have
people
moving
in
and
we're
all
doing,
a
really
good
job.
Z
I
think
and,
as
I
said,
we
have
a
very,
very
active
group
over
there,
both
of
the
properties
in
on
the
code
violations.
Today,
two
of
them
are
on
forest
avenue
and
I
I
don't
want
to
take
any
more
time.
You've
heard
a
lot,
and
I
will
just
say
this-
that
all
of
us
have
been
put
through
a
lot
and
I
could
go
on
and
on
which
I
won't
with
both
of
these
properties.
So
I
appreciate
your.
A
A
A
L
I
I've
been
working
on
it.
I
just
got
out
the
hospital
yesterday.
L
L
L
L
V
The
house
itself
that
we're
talking
about
is
not
in
that
bad
of
shape,
but
we've
had
some
vehicles
around
the
house
that
need
to
be
removed.
Also,
there's
just
some
junk
around
the
property
that
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
and
then,
of
course
the
pool
is
it's
drained
right
now
it's
got
some
water
in
the
bottom
of
it,
but
typically
it's
full
of
water
and
was
stagnant.
A
Okay,
so,
mr
mr
jones,
the
everything
mr
creel
said
apparently
still
exists,
which
is
why
you're
in
this
hearing
today.
So
as.
L
Far
as
the
vehicles,
I've
only
got
three
vehicles
now
back
when
this
started
there
was
probably
five.
Maybe
six
I've
got
three
the
pool,
yes
like
I
said
it
rained
every
day
this
year,
until
the
last
couple
weeks.
L
I've
been
working
on
the
property,
I've
been
cutting
trees
of
bushes.
I've
been
doing
everything
I
can
to
get.
I
got
rid
of
the
riff
raff
at
the
house
at
3
39
next
door.
To
me,
which
is
one
of
my
rentals
people
moved
in
started,
selling
drugs.
Turning
into
a
trap
house,
the
president
or
whatever
you
call
it,
come
on
and
said
you
can't
kick
anybody
out
that
did
it
right
there,
they
got
to
stay
there
for
almost
two
years:
rent
free
all
it
did
was
cost
me
money
and
heartache.
L
A
A
O
Mr
jones's
neighbor
and
he
does
have
some
unique
circumstances,
and
maybe
he
has
failed
somehow
some
way
to
not
come
through
like
he
needed
to,
but
I
will
testify
in
front
of
y'all
today
that
he
has
been
hauling
stuff
to
the
street
regularly,
as
you
can
see,
he's
not
the
fittest
of
the
bunch
and
he's
trying
really
hard,
and
I
don't
mean
anything
bad
against
you,
so
I
I
kind
of
take
that
into
consideration.
I
mean
it
is
one
of
these
properties
that
it's
going
to
take
some
time.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
All
right
I'll
I'll
fish
for
an
extension
is
there
anyone
making
a
motion
for
an
extension.
H
A
A
All
right
so
there's
a
60-day
extension
motion
by
mr
deming
and
it
was
seconded
by
miss
newman
in
discussion
all
right,
we'll
call
for
the
question
on
a
60-day
extension
all
in
favor,
it's
approved
on
a
6-0
vote,
mr
jones.
You
have
60
days
to
to
remedy
the
situation
and
we'll
see
how
you
do
good
luck,
sir.
Okay.
That
brings
us
to
the
routine
agenda
I'll,
entertain.
K
Good
afternoon
council,
so
I
believe,
mike
leonard,
updated
you
at
the
last
council
meeting,
we
received
the
1.285
million,
there's
nothing
current
in
the
pipeline
from
nemo.
That's
because
we
haven't
had
any
pay
apps.
Since
the
previous
council,
we
have
submitted
two
new
pay
apps
that
we
just
received
the
other
day
to
mima,
so
hopefully
by
the
next
council
meeting
or
the
first
one
in
december
I'll
be
able
to
tell
you
there's
some
money
in
the
pipeline
for
us.
Okay,.
A
I'd
just
like
to
note
for
the
clerk
that
on
the
routine
agenda,
there's
no
section
five,
it
was
omitted.
They're
numbered
one.
Two
three,
I
don't
know
we
may
be
missing
a
section
three
two.
I
see
a
one,
two,
four
six
and
seven,
so
we
may
be
missing
the
section
three
and
five
all
right.
All
in
favor,
the
routine
agenda
is
presented.
