A

To

substituting

budget

the

of
council's

He
was
a
brother
mayor,
a
good
friend
and
a
public
servant
to
the
city
he
loved.
On
behalf
of
our
city.
I
want
to
offer
our
condolences
to
his
family,
his
friends
and
to
the
people
of
wiggins
today
welcome
everyone
in
the
council
room
and
those
joining
us
remotely
to
the
second
city
council
meeting
of
december
2020
earlier
this
year
at
the
state
of
the
city
address
I
proclaim.
D
D
The
news
is,
we
have
survived
2020.,
we
all
know
the
colonial
virus
pandemic
is
not
yet
over,
but
there
is
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
and
this
is
a
time-
and
this
is
not
the
time
to
go
over
the
many
hits
we
took.
This
year
or
how
we
were
able
to
keep
on
moving
together
through
fy
2020
and
now
we're
navigating
through
2021,
it's
appropriate
to
offer
appreciation
to
everyone
who
has
played
a
part
in
accomplishing
the
many
things
that
we've
done
and
everything
that
we're
trying
to
do
now.
D
D
D
D
D
The
msrb
dwelling
fire
manual
says
the
reduction
from
class
2
to
class
two
from
class
three
to
class.
Two
is
from
one
to
one
and
a
half
percent
for
frame
and
masonry
buildings,
but
in
commercial
lines
the
difference
is
minus
four
percent
for
frame
and
joystick
masonry
and
three
percent
informationally
non-combustible
fire
resistant
constructions.
D
D
D
D
D
The
value
of
the
swap
was
in
is
inversely
tied
to
the
interest
rates,
the
lower
the
rate,
the
higher
amount
of
money
you
have
to
pay
off,
but
in
summary,
a
little
less
than
100
million
dollars,
including
the
swap,
was
refinanced
about
from
about
4.9
percent
to
2.1
for
biloxi.
That
means
about
1.33
million
dollars
annually
in
reducing
our
debt
budget
from
3.9
million
dollars
to
2.7
million.
It
begins
in
january
2021,
and
the
bottom
line
is
what
is
proposed
today
on
ordinance
a
the
first
reading
when
implemented
it.
D
Now
on
the
screen,
I
think,
are
comparisons
of
what
that
means
to
a
4,
000
gallon
user,
and
you
have
it
before
you.
I
think
right
all
right,
just
note
that
our
neighboring
cities
we'll
be
paying
that
amount
during
this
fiscal
year,
but
as
implemented,
starting,
hopefully
we'll
say
in
in
some
cycle,
within
january
or
february,
as
fast
as
we
can
get.
It
it'll
put
us
at
about
44
dollars
a
month
versus
48
to
51,
4851,
62
and
67..
D
D
Deal
it
is
a
big
deal
again
it's
hard
to
pin
down,
but
certainly
you
wrote,
your
rates
will
not
increase
due
to
those
rating
again
expect
one
to
1.5
according
to
these
manuals.
But
again
there
are
other
factors,
many
factors
in
determining
what
your
actually
fire
insurance
coverage
will
be,
and
but
the
impact
made
is
the
major
impact
is
when
commercial
businesses
could
be
as
much
as
four
percent.
E
D
You
know
the
first
move.
Of
course
you
know
the
amount
was
considered
and
also
considered
the
amount
of
funding
we
needed
to
do
for
a
number
of
projects
that
we
have
to
go
from
year
to
year.
So
that's
the
bottom
line
and
I'm
happy
to
address
any
any
questions
now
or
later
with
regard
to
what
I've
said,
but
there
are
three
important
projects
that
you
know
we
should
note
and
and
again
is
the
basis
for
my
optimism
to
go
to
2021.
F
F
D
We
looked
at
that
there's
some
srf
loans
that
we
can't
get
below.
I
think
mike
just
did
some
research
of
1.9
and
2.1.
We
can't
lower
what
we
were
doing
the
bonds.
You
know
what
we
did
address
is
not
going
to
save
us
any
money.
We
would
rather
be
as
before
you
I
think
we
talked
about
the
ability
to
get
through.
F
D
Right
now
there
are
a
number
and
have
been
a
number
of
abatements
and
jared
knows
just
generally
how
many,
because
early
on,
I
think
in
15
and
16,
we
kind
of
locked
in
on
tax
abatements,
not
so
much
this
big
project,
but
five
year,
50
percent
and
we
had
a
number
of
those
and
one
or
two
that
will
roll
off
on
seven
years.
But
we
did
experience
a
a
pretty
good
percentage
in
increase
of
ad
valorem
taxes
as
those
incentives
roll
off,
and
we
expect
a
similar
thing
here.
B
On
the
harrison
county,
utility
authority
fees-
and
I
know,
there's
different
ways
to
calculate
and
assess
these,
but
in
the
future
is,
could
there
be
any
any
consideration
to
calculate
our
off-season
residential
usage
and
then
come
up
with
a
calculation
versus
the
summer
time?
Because
in
the
summer,
people
are
using
water
for
their
pools
and
and
other
uses
than
just
the
regular
metered
water.
That
goes
through
the
system
and
and
used
for,
for
you
know,
regular
water
and
sewer.
D
Usage
there's
a
number
of
approaches
on
that.
Again,
you
note.
If
you
have
a
separate
meter
for
those
kinds
of
things,
watering
yards
or
pools
or
sprinklers
and
those
kinds
of
things
some
of
those
fees
will
come
off.
If
it's
a
regular
meter,
one
meter
for
everything
that
you
have
in
the
house,
the
competition
is
three
dollars
and
eighty
cents
per
thousand
gallons
for
debt
service.
D
You
know
for
the
debt
service
that
we're
trying
to
retire
and
that's
what
we
thought
we
could
pass
on
and
yet
keep
us
the
ability
to
fund
some
projects
that
may
come
up
or
some
of
the
things
that
we're
we're
deferring
right
now,
but
certainly
we're
open
to
to
what
makes
sense.
Again
we
kept
this
this
reduction
to
25,
000
gallons.
D
So
I
thought
it
was.
We
thought
it
was.
You
know
prudent
to
you,
know,
not
send
everything
back,
but
certainly
give
a
big
percentage
of
the
the
debt
reduction.
You
know,
but
we're
open
to
everything
again,
even
before
this
reduction
we
were,
we
were
lower
than
everybody
else,
and
now
it
really
removes
all
doubt
and
almost
reverses
for
2023
that
stepped
increases
based
on
that
50
cents
per
thousand
sure.
E
B
Of
the
same
way,
I've
been
doing
a
little
bit
of
research
on
fees
and
where,
again,
it's
not
just
the
city
of
biloxi
that
that
we're
the
only
city
in
the
world
that
this
is
across
the
country
that
they
assess
these
fees-
it's
not
abnormal,
but
there
are
some
municipalities
that
take
an
average
of
off-peak
for
residential
and
then
average
that
and
come
up
with
a
calculation
to
assess
those
residents
so
maybe
down
in
the
in
the
future.
Maybe
I
I'll
I
can
get
some
information
and
follow
it
for
consideration.
G
Thank
you
a
couple
of
comments
the
just
to
give.
I
guess
public
works.
A
heads
up.
I've
noticed
that
the
striping
on
pass
road
and
some
of
the
lateral
streets,
pedestrian
crossings
and
things
like
that
just
over
time
wear
so
a
lot
of
those
are
wearing
aware
or
hard
to
see,
particularly
when
the
when
the
weather's
bad.
G
I
would
and
I've
done
this
before,
but
I
I
attend
the
community
courts
sessions
they
meet
once
a
month
and
I
just
got
to
say,
judge
april
ready
and
the
prosecutor
is
robert
horinsky
and
the
code
enforcement
officers
that
provide
all
the
documentation
for
all
the
cases
that
are
heard
just
do
an
outstanding
job.
They
keep
it
moving,
they're
very
professional,
as
they
say,
sort
of
stuff
gets
done
so
in
a
professional
manner.
G
G
Also,
I
want
to
thank
councilman
in
ward,
7
nathan
barrett
for
inviting
the
rest
of
the
council
members
to
the
will
market
christmas
parade.
It's
it's
always
a
treat
and
a
hoot,
and
it
wasn't
as
well
attended
this
year,
but
it
was
bad
weather,
of
course,
the
virus
and
everything,
but
still
they
had,
I
guess
per
capita
each
participant,
not
each
particular.
Each
attendee
got
more
beads
than
they
had
in
the
past.
I
think
it
would
be
safe
to
say
with
that.
G
D
G
E
F
You
know,
like
echo,
would
paul
said
we
had
a
good
time.
I
wrote
another
red
convertible.
Didn't
have
my
girlfriend
this
time
or
somebody
else,
but
I'll
tell
you
what
this
guy
plays:
some
bad
rock
and
roll
music.
I
gotta
roll
around
all
day.
With
this
guy
I
mean
it
was
awesome.
The
parade
was
good
people's
out
there.
Everybody
had
a
good
time,
you
know,
and
it's
a
good
way
for
us
to
recycle
the
mardi
gras
beach.
You.
H
F
E
E
The
the
teams
will
go
home
like
they
did,
for
thanksgiving
they'll,
go
home
for
christmas
on
the
22nd
and
come
back
a
week
later
and
start
up
again
by
the
end
of
december.
We
should
have
completed
our
first
pass
in
all
the
streets.
We're
doing
two
passes,
so
one
of
the
things
I've
noticed
is
a
lot
of
people
were
slow,
getting
their
debris
out
to
the
curb,
and
so
you
go
into
a
neighborhood
and
you'll
find
you
know.
E
One
or
two
houses
have
a
bunch
of
debris
and
everybody
else
is
done,
that's
not
because
they
got
missed
it's
because
they
got
them
out
and
generally
after
the
first
pass
came
through.
So
that's
why
we're
doing
a
second
pass?
I
if
I
had
to
guess
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
cubic
yards?
Yes,
sir
right,
that's
4494
truckloads!
E
I
I
don't
know
what
we
could
do
any
differently
than
what
we're
doing.
I
think-
and
I
think
both
contractors,
both
crowder
golf
and
they're
subbed,
with
all
the
trucks
and
true
north
who
does
the
checking
I've
done
a
pretty
pretty
good
job.
If
you
you,
councilman,
have
all
one
time
or
another
called
me
about
a
particular
address
that
maybe
might
have
gotten
missed.
We
passed
that
on
to
true
north.
They
go
out
and
check
it
out
and
then
try
and
schedule
somebody
to
go
back
in
so
we're.
You
know
we're
not.
E
So
they
can
make
the
turns
and
so
forth,
and
some
of
that
they're
being
paid
by
the
volume
and
weight
of
their
material.
So
their
basic
modus
operandi
is
to
go
after
a
target,
rich
neighborhoods.
If
you
will,
in
initially
where,
where
they
can
get
the
most
debris,
and
in
that
because
of
that
case,
they
miss
a
lot
of
smaller
little
streets,
but
they'll
get
to
them
all.
E
Eventually,
we've
got
two
city
trucks
working
in
areas
that
they
can't
get
to,
in
particular,
downtown
biloxi
in
little
corners
of
you
know
where
we
don't
want
those
great
big
trucks
going
down,
howard
avenue
and
so
forth,
but
we've
got
two
of
our
own
trucks
that
are
working
downtown
and
other
specialty
calls
that
you
know
where
we
get
a
problem.
In
some
cases,
those
big
trucks
can't
get
up
underneath
the
power
line,
whereas
our
guys
can
so
that
you
know
if,
if
there's
people
that
are
missed,
it's
usually
not
because
we
miss
them.
E
E
Only
only
now
we'll
pick
up
from
resident
and
have
picked
up
a
good
many
commercial
properties.
If
the
debris
is
in
in
the
right
of
way
and
blocking
the
street
or
as
a
safety
issue,
we
pick
that
up
and
we
we
log
it
separately
when
we
apply
to
fema.
If
we
should
get
the
chance
to
do
that,
if
we
apply
the
fema,
we
may
or
may
not
be
reimbursed
for
the
commercial
properties,
but
but
we're
keeping
it
separate
and
we'll
may
try
and
make
the
case
that
it
was
done
for
safety
reasons.
So
does.
F
E
Can
I
show
you,
I
can
assure
you
that
cutoff
date
is
going
to
be
late
late
january,
early
february
when
we
finished
the
second
through.
I
I
assure
you
that
we're
gonna
get
as
much
as
we
can,
but
there's
gonna
be
stuff
left
and
it's
gonna
be
left
for
us
to
do
and
with
our
own
trucks-
and
I
mean
there's
just
no
way
around
it
just
too
much
too
much
there
and
people
putting
it
out
late.
E
F
B
We
thought
we
suffered
minimal
damage
after
the
hurricane
but
discovered
that
we
had
some
significant
roof
damage
that
held
some
water
and
decided
to
release
that
water
a
week
after
the
storm,
so
we're
making
some
repairs
there,
but
the
restaurant
sapphire
supper
club
is
doing
very
well
and
we
we
expect
to
do
the
repairs
very
shortly
to
the
68
rooms
that
were
damaged
and
will
be
at
full
capacity
very
soon.
Margaritaville
is
another
story.
B
It
took
wind
and
water
damage
significantly
and
we
expect
that
it
won't
open.
Probably
through
april
we've
assessed
everything
all
the
adjusters
have
been
there,
we're
in
there
doing
the
repairs
now,
and
if
you
saw
that
big
oyster,
I
remember
the
days
of
the
oyster
shells.
We
had
some
carpet
almost
as
high
as
some
of
those
oyster
piles.
B
So
then
you
would
have
a
bunch
of
leaks
and
almost
80
percent
of
the
hotel,
so
we're
we're
fixing
that
right
now
and
but
we'll
be
back
in
open
pretty
soon,
hopefully
in
time
for
the
summer
and
we'll
be
back
in
business,
and
I
like,
like
everybody,
wants
to
get
2020
behind
us
recovering
in
2021
and
kind
of
chase,
all
this
success
going
forward
but
councilman.
I
appreciate
you
asking
thank
you.
B
D
D
I
think
they
just
opened
the
forest
avenue
pier
that
was
liking
some
boards,
but
we
were
able
to
salvage
some
of
the
lighthouse
pier,
and
I
think
the
next
sequence
of
events
for
peers
would
be
porter
avenue,
which
has
a
few
boards
missing,
as
well
as
the
oak
street
on
the
beach
side
and
oak
street.
The
former
dmr
pier
those
are
the
sequence,
so
we're
actually
repairing
what
we
can
without
having
to
go
buy.
You
know
significant
pieces
of
marine
lumber.
F
Appreciate
that
I'll
just
keep
you
know,
because
so
much
of
that
stuff
system
world
one,
I
get
a
lot
of
phone
calls
on
those
things.
There's
a
lot
of
people
involved
in
that
the
boats
or
whatever.
So
it's
always
people
calling
and
exiting
about
those
things.
So
that's
why
it's
following
up,
but
you
gotta
remember
what
you
stated
early
in
2020.
I
F
J
With
regard
to
the
debris
pickup,
I
think
we've
gotten
mostly
through
my
ward,
and
I
I
do
want
to
commend
the
groups
made
a
couple
calls,
and
I
mean
they
were
out
there
before.
I
could
do
back
follow-up
calls
to
see
if
they
had
come
back
through
very,
very
efficient,
so
good
work
with
those
you
sent
us
an
email
mike
regarding
some
new
software
for
police
dispatch
and
service,
some
service
management,
or
something
like
that
in
it.
It
referenced
a
take-home
package.
E
J
B
Glavin,
thank
you
I'd
like
to
wish
the
entire
council,
the
mayor,
all
our
directors
and
all
our
city,
employees
that
they
have
a
very
warm
christmas
and
enjoy
the
holidays
coming
up,
and
you
know
mayor
your
report.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
You
know,
especially
this.
The
the
fire
department
and
getting
our
fire
rating
reduced.
We've
had
many
meetings
that
we
talked
and
discussed
about.
That
was
an
a
high
priority
and
you
know
to
see
those
two
fire
stations
go
up.
B
It's
it's
more
about
just
the
fire
rating,
even
though
that
was
one
of
our
goals
to
reduce
the
insurance
rates.
It's
to
improve
the
safety
to
to
improve
the
resources
to
provide
to
our
fire
department,
so
that
we
can
respond
to
calls
and
get
to
people
that
need
help
quickly
and
we're
able
to
do
that
today,
better
than
we've
ever
been
able
to
before
in
the
history
of
our
great
city.
B
The
other
thing,
as
the
mayor
touched
on
from
economic
development,
other
developers
and
people
that
are
going
to
invest
in
our
our
city
are
going
to
look
at
those
fire
ratings
because
it
doesn't
affect
us
just
in
ward.
6
or
ward
7,
where
the
new
fire
stations
are
it,
the
fire
rating
applies
city-wide.
So
if
you're
going
to
invest
in
east
biloxi
or
you
can
invest
in
wool
market
or
or
ward
6
or
other
places,
we
become
a
place
that
is
very
attractive.
One
place
in
particular,
is
the
blake.
B
It
was
doing
some
site
some
tours
the
other
day,
and
I
talked
to
some
of
the
management
group
and
they
said
one
of
the
number
one
reasons
that
they,
their
first
choice,
was
gulfport,
one
of
their
number
one
reasons
that
they
decided
to
change.
The
location
was
because
of
that
fire
station
being
right
across
from
that
senior
living
home.
So
it
goes
to
show
you
how
that
you
know
how
we're
forward
thinking
and
working
for
a
better
biloxi
truly
makes
biloxi
better.
B
No
doubt
so
it's
all
working
and
this
administration
and
and
the
work
that
we
do
is
to
certainly
be
commended.
I
also
want
to
follow
up
on
another
thing.
Beverly
martin,
her
office,
contacted
me
the
other
day
christie.
I
don't
know
if
you
got
my
message,
but
I
forwarded
it
to
you
that
the
her
road
supervisor
tim
wants
to
get
with
us
on
that
drainage.
B
Let's
see
oh
nathan,
I
apologize
my
regrets
for
missing
your
parade.
It's
been
a
very
special
event,
unfortunately,
or
in
my
case
fortunately
my
grandson,
the
croatian
kid
was
in
daphne
and
we
called
it
mudville.
It
was
raining
that
day
and
they
had
those
kids
had
a
good
time.
They
finally
were
able
to
play
in
the
mud
for
for
a
game
or
for
a
tournament,
but
barring
another
tournament
next
year,
I'll
be
sure
to
put
it
on
my
agenda
to
kind
of
kind
of
support.
You
with
that
and
with
that.
A
K
K
I
also
want
to
congratulate
chief
boney
on
that
fire
rating
public
works,
seeing
public
works
working
in
the
community,
cutting
grass
and
cleaning
up
the
sidewalks,
so
I
thank
billy
ray
and
his
crew,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
the
ceo
mike
leonard,
about
rearranging
some
of
the
schedules
for
the
trucks.
I
would
like
to
ask
that
they
come
down
division
street,
just
kind
of
clean
up
division
street
for
us,
because
that's
a
main
thoroughfare.
L
They're
going
to
try
to
get
in
here
by
the
end
of
the
year,
councilman
they've
got
two
other
clients
that
they
had
already
pre-booked
before
this
project,
but
they
did
have
us
down
that
if
there's
a
window
of
opportunity
they
would
they
would
do
so.
If
not
it'll
be
out
the
first
of
the
new
year.
Okay,.
K
A
I
have
several
things.
First,
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
everyone
that
was
involved.
The
police
department,
public
works,
putting
the
cones
out
sherry,
helping
organize
on
the
parade,
those
that
attended
things.
It
was
fewer
participants
and
a
smaller
crowd,
but
we're
glad
that
we
were
able
to
offer
that
again
this
year.
A
I
have
on
the
debris
pickup
mike.
I
got
a
call
from
jason
overstreet
on
my
way
here
and
he
said
they're
going
to
start
on
those
ditches
on
wool
market
road
and
some
of
the
debris
on
wool
market.
Road
on
the
east
end
hasn't
been
picked
up
yet,
and
he
said
that
that's
going
to
prevent
them
from
working
in
some
of
those
areas.
A
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
case
or
not,
but
there
are
multiple
streets
that
I
go
down
that
have
been
hit
and
these
guys
go
in
and
leave
and
they
don't
finish
the
street.
So
when
you
say
a
first
pass
and
a
second
pass
does
this
them
going
on
that
street
and
the
gps
showing
that
they
beat
it
that
they've
been
there
constitute
a
first
pass
on
that
street,
because
I
know
for
a
fact
and
there's
many
streets
out
in
my
ward.
A
I
don't
know
if
it's
happening
like
this
everywhere
in
the
city
that
they're
going
and
they're
getting
a
majority
of
it
even
but
there
are
piles
and
it's
not
under
a
power
line
or
anything
like
that.
There's
piles
that
are
still
there,
and
so
I
would
like
to
know
you
know
why
they're
leaving
these
piles
in
these
you
know
in
these
areas.
If
we
can
find
that
out.
Other
than
that,
I
know
that
they're
hauling
a
lot.
I
see
them
throughout
the
ward
all
the
time.
A
A
And
it's
specifically
bars
clubs,
things
like
that.
There
are
some
clubs
that
are
going
all
night
long
and
then
some
that
we're
going
into
and
basically
saying
if
you
don't
shut
down,
you
know-
and
I
know
that
some
of
them
abc's
gotten
involved
and
things
like
that.
I
know
it's,
not
all
the
city,
but
personally
you
know
I'm
not
for
shutting
someone
down
at
11
o'clock,
we're
responsible
adults.
A
Someone
recommended
possibly
having
a
a
sheet
that
anybody
who
would
fill
the
call
in
the
city
could
go
off
of
so
that
they're
getting
the
same
answer
no
matter.
You
know
who
they
call
or
when
they
call
some
kind
of
reference
sheet,
and
that's
just
a
couple
of
things
that
I've
got
public
works
kenny
brought
that
up
they're
doing
a
great
job.
I
know
that
we're
understaffed
in
public
works
and
in
regard
to
the
ditch
maintenance
that
he
was
referring
to.
A
If
you
know
they're
going
to
eventually
get
like
that,
so
if
we
could
get
something
set
up,
you
know,
after
the
first
of
the
year
we
could
sit
down
and
come
up
with
some
kind
of
plan
or
something,
but
we
have
to
take
care
of
these
ditches
and
it's
overwhelming.
We
don't
have
enough
people
north
of
the
bay
to
to
get
all
these
ditches
cleaned
out.
That
need
to
be
it's
just
not
possible.
They
could
work
all
year
on
just
ditches
and
probably
not
finish
it
and
there's
much
more
to
do
than
that.
A
And
we'll
now
move
to
the
public
agenda
citizen
comments.
We
have
a
total
allotted
time
of
45
minutes.
Each
person
who
speaks
can
have
up
to
three
minutes
and
you'll
need
to
come
forward
to
the
table.
Sign
your
name
in
and
tell
speak,
your
name
and
your
address
into
the
microphone.
Do
I
have
anyone
on
my
left
and
your
right
side
of
the
room
that
would
like
to
speak.
M
I've
heard
several
of
you
comment
about
the
debris
removal
and
I
will
tell
you
in
wells
fairy
landing.
They
did
a
superb
job
of
taking
care
of
all
the
debris
that
was
actually
basically
in
that
particular
area,
and
I
thank
them
for
it.
Also
in
ward
7
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
a
superintendent
out
there.
That's
in
charge
of
public
works
thank
mike
hoaxley
and
he
does
to
me
a
marvelous
marvelous
good
job
and
I
cannot
speak
for
the
rest
of
the
awards,
but
I
will
speak
for
mike
out
there
in
ward
7..
M
If
you
call
mike
first
of
all
he's
always
going
to
call
you
back
number
two
he's
going
to
tell
you.
Yes,
he
can
do
it
or
no.
He
can't
do
it
and
he'll
explain
why
and
that's
that's
really
the
good
thing
about
it,
but
I
have
always
asked
him
in
the
past
to
take
care
of
some
basic
particular
things
that
need
to
take
care
of,
especially
in
ward
7,
but
also
in
wells
fare
landing
of
which
I'm
basically
concerned
with,
and
he
has
jumped
to
the
occasion
to
always
take
care
of
it
so
mayor.
M
Thank
you
mike
good
job
for
those
things
like
this
and
to
members
of
the
council.
I
thank
you
for
that
and
to
me
we're
going
to
always
have
debris
in
biloxi
because
of
hurricanes
because,
unfortunately
we're
probably
if
we
live
long
enough,
we're
going
to
see
it
some
more
so.
But
we
don't
want
them,
but
we
know
we're
going
to
get
them
so.
A
A
G
I've
been
asked
to
read
a
number
of
letters
that
have
come
in
dealing.
I
believe
there
are
always
short-term
rentals
from
citizens
and
for
those
who
aren't
aware,
if
you
can't
attend
a
council
meeting,
you
can
still
be
heard
by
sending
an
email
or
a
letter
to
the
council,
clerks
and
and
they'll
they'll
be
mentioned
at
the
council
meeting
good
afternoon.
My
name
is
carol:
porterfield
mazara
vaughn,
I'm
a
resident
of
biloxi
and
own
a
vacation
rental
at
128,
a
lee
street.
G
G
What
I
hope
for
you
to
consider
is
not
to
regulate
and
tax
it
so
heavily
that
we
cannot
afford
to
do
business
in
biloxi.
There
are
tourists
that
prefer
to
stay
in
vacation
rentals
and
if
they
cannot
find
one
that
is
reasonably
priced
to
stay
in
here,
they
will
go
to
neighboring
towns
to
book
their
vacations.
G
G
The
city
has
decided
to
charge
us
an
additional
hundred
dollars
a
year
for
an
application
fee.
I
cannot
help
but
wonder
how
many
other
businesses
are
required
to
pay
their
business
license,
plus
an
additional
application
fee
of
a
hundred
dollars.
Each
year,
though,
this
may
not
seem
like
a
lot
to
some,
it
has
resulted
in
us
raising
our
prices
in
order
to
save
our
bottom
line.
G
That
being
said,
the
majority
of
vacation
rental
owners
that
I
have
communicated
with
are
paying
our
12
sales
taxes
and
following
the
laws
they
govern
us,
we
appreciate
the
council
and
planning
commission
bearing
down
on
those
that
don't
pay
their
fair
share.
Please
consider
the
benefits
to
our
city
of
the
short-term
rental
business
sincerely
carol
bond.
G
The
next
letter
reads
to
whom
it
may
concern.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
explain
how
short-term
rentals
has
saved
my
financial
life.
I've
been
in
the
casino
business
for
almost
30
years
after
several
back
surgeries.
I
am
unable
to
work
because
I
cannot
stand
on
my
feet
for
eight
hours.
G
G
G
It
is
my
request
that
the
city
amend
the
ldo
to
specifically
include
short-term
rentals
in
l.b
limited
district
business
districts.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Gary
j
cuevas
and
the
last
letter
reads.
I
believe
short-term
rentals
are
beneficial
in
the
biloxi
area
for
tourists
to
come,
see
our
beautiful
area.
G
Lots
of
money
is
spent
in
our
beautiful
city.
Another
benefit
is
that
we
have
a
beautiful
home
to
rent
to
the
military
and
their
families
from
keesler
air
force
base
that
only
need
a
home
to
rent
for
a
few
months
out
of
the
year.
Thank
you,
laurie
burchick,
and
if
I
mispronounce
laurie's
name,
I
apologize.
A
G
I'm
not
sure
why
it
almost
failed
for
lack
of
a
second
at
the
previous
reading,
but
I'd
certainly
like
to
hear
some
discussion
on
this.
It
seems
to
me
that
these
are
text
amendments
that
you're
requesting
be
implemented.
I
would
assume
there
are
tweaks
of
some
disorder
another
place
based
on
the
experience
through
the
planning,
commission
and
so
forth.
So
you
have
just
a
brief
summary.
Jerry
is
as
to
maybe
why
this
is
coming
forward
in
hopes
that
we
could
see
some
discussion
with
among
the
council
here.
Thank
you.
Well,.
H
H
The
other
thing
that's
included
in
this
is
the
requirement
for
the
100
annual
fee
to
reapply
each
year
and
the
one
of
the
reasons
for
that
is
because
monitoring,
short-term
rental
is
very
labor-intensive.
We
have
to
have
one
person
there
in
the
office
that
does
nothing
but
monitor
short-term
rental
every
day
and
he
comes
to
my
door
at
least
three
or
four
times
a
day
with
questions
about
an
advertisement
that
he
sees
or
or
something
that
may
or
may
not
look
like
it's
out
of
compliance,
but
he
spends
his
entire
days
working
on
short-term
little.
H
H
J
B
A
So
so,
basically,
the
last
time
we
had,
if
I
remember
correctly
about
an
hour
discussion
on
this
one
item,
what
we
did
is
we
basically
just
went
in
and
took
all
the
short-term
rental
stuff
out
and
are
keeping
all
the
other
all
the
other
parts
of
this
ordinance,
because
we
had
the
time
share
thing
in
there
as
well.
Is
that
correct,
as
far
as
the
actual
changes
that
we
are
origin
were
originally
were
originally
in
this
ordinance.
H
H
Business
is
the
new
name
for
what
we
used
to
call
professional
business
district
and
it's
in
areas
that
are
heavily
residential,
where
you
want
to
have
professional
businesses
next
door
that
do
not
generate
a
lot
of
traffic
and
do
not
generate
a
lot
of
noise.
So
we
didn't
feel
like
the
lb
would
be
appropriate
for
short-term
rental.
H
F
H
Limited
business
is
the
zoning
designation,
it's
not
the
use
inside
the
business,
so
if
the
property,
the
first
thing
that
we
do
whenever
somebody
comes
to
us
with
the
short-term
rental,
is
we
check
the
zoning
and
if
the
zoning
is
correct,
then
the
application
moves
forward.
If
the
zoning
is
not
correct
for
short-term
rental,
then
it
doesn't
move
forward
unless
the
owner
wants
to
seek
a
zoning
change
request.
So
I've
tried
to
make
it
as
clear
as
I
could.
I
don't
know
what
else
I
could
have
said
to
to
make
it
more
clear.
H
H
J
H
A
G
G
G
G
H
G
Doing
now,
yes-
and
I
can-
I
believe
that
would
be
appropriate
under
some
circumstances.
The
the
other
thing
I
believe
I
noted
with
short-term
rentals,
shall
provide
proof
that
sales
tax
records
have
been
submitted
to
the
department
of
revenue.
I
think
that
was
one
concern
and
I
think
might
have
been
a
sticking
point
with
some
of
the
council
members.
G
How
do
how
do
we
know
somebody
has
paid-
or
we
heard
from-
I
think,
a
couple
of
folks
who
addressed
the
council
under
citizens
comments,
maybe
five
or
six
weeks
ago,
complaining
that
this
was
too
burdensome,
and
we
also
heard
from
a
couple
of
property
managers.
That
said,
we
provide
that
it's
no
problem,
but
I
believe
would
that
have
been
one
of
the
text
changes
in
here
just
to
kind
of
make
it
a
little
easier,
I
think,
was
the
intent
for
those
short-term
rental
owners
to
prove
that
they're
paying
the
appropriate
taxes
well,.
H
G
So
so
they-
and
we
only
have
you
had
mentioned
timeshares,
and
I
think
you
and
I
had
spoken
weeks
ago-
there's
only
one
time
share
currently
operating.
That's
chateau,
legrand,
that's
correct!
Yes,
they're
on
highway,
90.,
yes,
sir!
So
anyway
I
mean
my
concern
is
obviously
you
you
keep
coming
back
with
the
these
text.
G
Changes,
mr
creel,
because
their
their
housekeeping
items
were
trying
to
clean
this
up
from
what
I
heard
from
the
discussion
that
there's
a
little
tweak
on
the
way
dealing
with
mr
barrett's
concern
on
restricted
agriculture
or
agricultural
for
short-term
rentals,
but
other
than
what
we've
talked
about
today.
What
was
deleted
earlier?
The
council
voted
down
earlier
that
was
removed
in
these
concerns.
G
I
would
hope
we
could
move
forward
with
the
understanding
that,
probably
in
january,
at
some
point
based
on
this
public
hearing
for
the
agriculture
restricted
or
whatever
related
to
short-term
rentals,
that
we
know
that's
in
the
pipeline
headed
this
way.
I'd
hope
we
could
move
forward
on
this,
but
I'm
eager
to
hear
other
comments
as
well.
All
right.
A
H
B
H
J
It's
actually
just
a
modification
of
the
text
change.
The
amendment
is
what
we're
going
to
be
voting
on.
So
I
don't
know.
I
know
what
you're
getting
at.
I
think
that's
a
question
for
peter
if
it
violates
the
standards
of
first
and
second
reading
by
changing
it
within
the
first
reading.
I
don't
know
peter.
B
J
B
B
G
I
made
the
motion
that
our
rm20
and
rm30
be
that
short-term
rentals
not
be
permitted
in
rm20
and
rm-30
zones
and,
as
I
recall
mr
lawrence
seconded,
that
and
the
council
at
that
time,
voted
on
it
and
it
was
defeated
five
to
two:
that's
when
the
the
text
was
modified
in
that
section
removed
yeah.
I
believe
what
was.
A
K
A
N
Quick,
I
have
a
question:
why
can't
we
just
strike
out
single-family
zones
and
leave
every
other
zone
open
to
conditional
use
only
meaning?
We
have
to
approve
it,
because
every
situation
is
different.
So
if
we
just
cross
out
limited
business,
there
might
be
a
situation
where
it's
a
perfect
location.
It's
the
perfect
everything
and
they
have
letters
from
everyone
around
them
saying
that
they're
for
it
I
mean
why
can't
we
just
leave
everything
open
to
conditional
use
only.
J
I'm
going
to
I'm
kind
of
in
agreeance
with
miss
newman.
I
think
that
if
we
can
have
law
firms
or
accountants
or
some
other
professional
business
within
a
neighborhood,
then
I
think
that
would
be
ripe
for
a
conditional
use
for
for
short-term
rental.
So
that's
I
would
I
would.
I
would
support
removing
limited
business
from
that
section
of
prohibited
sections.
J
I
F
H
All
these
changes
come
from
just
about
everything
in
this
is
something
that
the
council
has
asked
us
to
do
to
gain
a
a
more
a
bigger
level
of
control
over
short-term
rental,
and-
and
I
don't
mean
to
smile-
it's
just
that
we
we
don't
even
have
a
carcass
left.
We
beat
this
horse
so
bad
that
there's
nothing
left
to
beat
anymore,
but
we're
still
open
to
whatever
the
council
desires
to
put
in
to
the
ordinance.
We'll
certainly
consider
that
now
one
thing
about
this
change
that
was
recommended
by
councilwoman
newman.
H
If
we
have
a
place
now
where
we
don't
allow
short-term
rental
and
we're
going
to
change
it
to
where
it
does,
allow
short-term
rental,
that's
going
to
be
a
tax
change,
and
we
would
need
to
add
that
zoning
district
to
the
request
where
we're
considering
allowing
it
in
agricultural
zoning,
so
it
would.
It
would
take
another
step-
it's
not
too
late
to
do
that.
We
can
do
that.
Well,.
N
The
problem
is,
like
you
noted:
we've
been
beating
this
horse
until
it's,
you
know
way
dead,
but
the
problem
is
obviously
the
whole
council
does
not
agree,
so
we
can
just
keep
going
back
and
forth,
but
this
is
where
I
stand.
I
don't
see
why
we
can't
just
cut
single
family
zones
out
and
leave
everything
up
to
us
to
decide
with
the
conditional
use,
only
that's
just
my
two
cents
and
that's
how
I
feel
about
this
ordinance.
I
don't
know
about
the
rest
of
them.
J
H
J
When
you
do
so
look
to
see
how
many
short-term
rentals
there
are,
what
kind
of
revenue
this
generates
for
the
city,
I
would
like
to
know
how
much
if,
if
we're
doing
this,
because
the
added
burden
which
costs
us
more
in
in
in
labor,
then
I
want
to
know
what
that
what
that
ratio
is,
what
we're
generating
versus
what
we're
paying
and
if
we,
if
we
are
generating
more
than
necessary,
then
we
could
reduce
this.
But
if
it's
necessary
we'll
have
that
discussion
later.
G
A
medium
paid
in
in
addition
to
that,
though,
there's
a
burden
on
the
fire
department
which
now
has
to
inspect
these
320
locations,
which
they
didn't
have
to
do
before,
because
they
inspect
all
commercial
buildings.
I
I
don't
know
if
there
are
any
other
burdens,
but
then
yeah,
that's
part
of
it
too.
Thank
you.
Those
are.
A
K
Yes,
we've
had
a
workshop
on
this
already
and
look
like
we're
getting
into
a
second
workshop
or
we've
already
done
got
into
a
second
workshop.
We
need
a
cleaner
version.
Let's
just
go.
We
all
we
already
have
it
moved
in
second
to
table
it,
let's
get
a
cleaner
version.
If
we
need
to
do
a
workshop
again,
let's
do
a
workshop
again,
but
in
the
middle
of
a
meeting
to
go
into
another
workshop,
it's
not
necessary.
We
need
to
clean
it
up
and
go
ahead
and
something
that
everybody
understand
and
everybody
agree
with.
J
G
B
F
D
D
F
Believe
that
the
secretary
of
state's
against
education,
a
lot
most
of
his
money,
is
funded
education,
the
public
health
of
the
police
department,
the
fire.
These
are
good
things,
so
I
mean
you
know.
Why
would
you
run?
This
is
another
basically,
both
of
us
you're
trying
to
build
there
about
mobilizing
is
800
million,
it's
700
million.
That's
a
ton
of
people
going
to
go
to
work
once
they
bill
it
by
2500
people.
How
can
the
secretary
of
state
be
against
projects
like
this?
Just
don't
make
sense
to
me.
K
B
Yeah,
I
agree
with
the
rest
of
the
council.
I
believe
not
since
the
tallest
manor,
as
this
area
generated
visitors
and
tourism
and
it's
time
for
this,
this
property
to
start
doing
that
again
and
we
have
an
opportunity.
We
have
the
tools
and
the
resources
to
be
able
to
make
it
happen,
and,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
they
don't
get
a
dime
of
this
incentive
unless
they
produce
and
start
making
things
happen.
So
to
me,
it's
a
game
changer
to
me.
It's
what
we
should
do.
J
D
J
A
B
B
B
D
D
So
the
state
is
all
in
with
regard
to
what
that
opportunity
is
in
our
little
part
of
78
million
dollars,
which
is
you
know,
for
infrastructure,
and
some
parking
that
is
when
not
used
for
events
will
be
open
to
the
public,
both
on
the
south
and
the
north
side
of
the
highway.
There's
about
20
million
dollars,
that's
participated
in
the
marina
and,
of
course,
the
golf
course
sitting
there.
D
So
it's
the
whole
package
also
and
it
will
be
significant
and
transformational
again
the
count
the
board
of
supervisors
saw
and
affirm
what
we
feel
that
that
is
is,
of
course,
the
wisest
course
and
and
the
best
thing
we
can
do
given
this.
This
point
we're
in
in
biloxi
and
given
what
what
the
returns
can
be,
but
with
absolutely
no
risk
and
a
whole
lot
to
gain
and
mayor.
K
I
G
F
Okay,
all
right
that
was
all
I
was
trying
to
say
before
everything
got
so
excited
there.
A
lot
of
static
talk
about
two
billion
dollars
between
youtube
in
the
city
of
biloxi
city,
the
state
of
mississippi
be
given
the
whole
city
to
get
two
billion
dollar
worth
of
projects,
and
that's
direct,
and
I'm
just
saying,
are
you
listening?
F
I'm
talking
here
all
right,
you're
talking
about
6
000
people
going
to
work
once
he
plays
six
thousand
people
going
to
work
besides,
probably
four
or
five
thousand
to
build
it
any
I'm
telling
any
city
to
go
crazy,
just
like
they
had
two
billion
dollars,
and
I
think
we
had
to
fight
this
hard
to
get
this.
They
should
be
coming
down
there
just
taking
care
of
this
problem.
Without
any
I
mean
two
billion
dollars
in
the
city
of
brookston
and
six
thousand
employees
come
on.
They
give
them
a
hundred
years
freebies.
This
is
crazy.
D
I
mean,
let
me
say,
for
this
project:
mda
recognized
that
too
how
many
billion
projects
are
going
on
in
the
state
of
mississippi
today
or
even
next
year
or
even
the
following
year,
so
mda
affirmed
and
confirmed
with
their
their
expansion
to
tourism
tax
credit
that
worth
it
is
worth
about
210
million
if
they
perform.
There's.
No
there's
no
downside
to
this
there's
no
chances
that
we
take.
J
J
D
J
D
No,
it
is,
you
know,
the
debt
service
is
about
for
those
bonds
based
on
again
projections.
You
know
we
looked.
We
just
found
something
at
2.115.
Okay,
the
debt
service
at
five
percent
is
six
million.
Is
you
know
six
million
a
year?
Okay?
Less
than
that?
I
don't
know,
but
anyway,
no
there's
certainly
a
risk,
but
you
know
the
the
the
subsequent
you
know
if
a
catastrophe
or
something
like
that,
I
I
can't
don't
have
the
the
magic
forecast.
J
D
I
Yes,
council,
jason,
thomas
again,
the
supervisors
of
mississippi
with
the
tiff
bond.
It
does
not
count
against
your
general
obligation
debt
limit.
It
does
not
count
against
your
taxing
power
other
than
the
increment.
That's
pledged.
The
latest
attorney
general's
opinions
have
held
that.
If,
for
example,
the
increment
wasn't
enough
to
pay
the
tax
for
whatever
reason
the
city
would
be
precluded
from
paying
from
other
available
revenues,
even
if
it
had
other
legally
available
revenues.
That's
happened
in
this
city
before
down
at
margaritaville
the
original
margaritaville.
I
I
D
J
F
F
An
exciting
day
we
passed
21
million
dollar
bond
for
the
baseball
field,
I'll
take
the
78
million
over
that
baseball
field
every
day.
So
this
thing
can
create
a
ton
of
money.
Baseball
phil
would
never
do
that.
This
has
been
a
big
expense
to
the
city,
so
I
mean
when
you're
taking
this
shot,
if
they
actually
build
this
thing
and
that
put
that
many
people
to
work,
that's
what
you're
looking
for
in
the
city,
I
should
go
back
to
the
same
thing:
two
billion
dollars
in
anybody's
city,
a
mississippi
two
billion
dollars.
G
G
K
C
F
H
H
H
F
F
H
F
D
H
F
F
Yeah
but
there's
another
one,
you
always
say
we
can't
do
residential
neighborhoods.
That's
what
we're
doing
all
of
this.
This
is
the
guy
that
you
told
to
go,
get
22
names
of
the
residents,
so
he
could
have
this
problem.
He
created
that
one
guy
created
all
this
problem.
I'm
gonna
go
for
it,
I'm
just
saying
so.
Don't
say
we
can't
have
your
residential
neighborhoods
anymore,
because
that
was
80
year
old
neighborhood
that
we
turned
into
short-term
rentals.
F
F
G
Yes
and
I'd
like
to
point
this
out,
you
may
have
parts
of
the
city
that
are
residential
now,
but
over
the
years
as
the
business
there's,
a
commercial
zones
have
crept
closer
and
closer.
There's
always
that
option
for
folks
in
a
neighborhood
or
a
particular
community
to
come
forward
to
the
planning
commission,
follow
the
ldo
and
just
request
a
zone
change
or,
of
course,
the
council
can
request
a
zone
change
which.
G
A
B
B
What
it
was
was
the
swetman
drugstore.
They
received
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
grant,
but
they
received
it
in
the
week
just
before
the
budget
year.
So
this
is
just
trying
for
us
to
balance
the
budget
from
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
to
allow
for
that.
That's
what
that
resolution
did,
and
I
think
we
talked
about
that
after
the
meeting
so
we're
we
need
it
was
tabled,
subject
to
call,
so
we
just
need
to.
F
F
H
H
A
F
E
F
F
B
E
E
All
right,
p,
q,
r
and
s
are
all
recognizing
the
grants
that
have
been
given
to
us
by
dmr
and
the
tidelands
grants
for
the
last
year.
Those
were
approved
by
the
legislature
and
the
grant
application
has
been
provided
to
us
and
that's
one's
street
one's
hiller
park.
One's
eagle
point
cleanup,
which
is
just
a
done
deal,
that's
they're,
just
paying
us
off
and
we're
done,
and
the
last
one
is
that
the
the
eagle
point
park
development.
That's
four,
four
thailand's
projects
that
we
got
last
year.
E
On
the
one
in
particular,
you're
asking
about
street,
a
design
contract
has
already
been
awarded
and
they're
working
against
that
that
budget
at
some
point,
you'll
see
it
probably
a
draft
of
a
design.
We
obviously
for
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
can't
build
that.
That's
that
that'll
have
to
be
a
another
grant
later
on,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
dmr
is
doing
to
us.
Right
now
is
a
lot
of
times
in
the
first
year.
They'll
just
give
us
enough
money
to
design
and
wait
to
see
what
how
it
comes
out
same.
E
E
E
That's
a
good
thing
that
is
seniors
who
happen
to
have,
or
actually
it's
mostly
seniors
residents
who
have
united
healthcare
as
their
provider
if
they
go
and
exercise
and
swim
in
our
snyder
pool
the
health.
The
health
provider
pays
us
to.
Let
them
do
that
so
so
we
get
a
check.
I
think
I
have
written
down
15
a
month.
We
get
for
any
of
the
people
that
on
are
on
united
healthcare
that
are
using
our
pool,
not
a
lot
of
money,
but
every
little
bit
that
counts.

Confusing
that
with
the
dance
fandango
but
fandango
this,
that
is,
a
destination
experience
engine
where
residents
and
or
tourists,
can
go
online
and
look
at
places
in
biloxi
to
go
and
and
make
reservations
right
now.
The
only
thing
in
in
in
for
biloxi,
that's
a
biloxi
city
attraction
is
the
lighthouse,
but
also
the
oroki
museum
and
the
mardi
gras
museum
are
on
there,
where
an
employee
a
resident
could
use
that
software
to
define
those
the
aquarium
and
other
other
facilities
on
the
coast
are
in
that
it's
just
a
destination
experience.

So
let's
all
get
on
the
bandwango,
but
my
my
thinking
was-
and
I
mentioned
this
to
mr
leonard-
I
just
throw
it
out
there
if,
if
we're
gonna,
if
we
were
to
build
that
lighthouse,
pier
back
a
little
longer,
I'm
sure
we're
limited
with
the
channel
out
there
concrete
pilings
or
whatever
a
little
higher
folks
have
pointed
out.
They
have
these
kinds
of
piers
in
florida
and
other
locations
and
they
charge
you
to
use
those
piers.
G
Whether
it's
three
dollars
to
go
out.
You
could
have
a
commercial
establishment
out
there.
If
you
wanted
to
put
a
restaurant
or
a
food
vendor
out
there,
you
could
sell
fishing
licenses
or
whatever,
but
anybody
who
wanted
to
use
that
pier
would
pay
three
bucks
be
open,
24,
7.,
it's
just
a
thought,
something
to
think
about
or
not
think
about
over
the
holidays.
G
G
G

Right
so
we're
asking
for
their
commitment
at
this
point
and
hopefully
we'll
get
it.
Okay,
an
item
double
p.
I
just
want
to
point
out
these
are
the
council
meetings
for
next
calendar
year
and
we're
meeting
on
april
7th,
which
is
a
wednesday
and
not
a
tuesday,
because
that
tuesday
april
6th
is
an
election
primary
date.

105
mcdonald
avenue
this
property
is
still
in
violation,
but
I
talked
to
mr
woolwich
yesterday
and
he
said
if
we
would
give
him
an
extension
he'd
see
to
it
that
it's
removed.
How
many
days
you
need
he
said
just
after
the
first
of
the
year,
but
if
we
give
him
30
days,
I'm
sure
it'll
be
going
well
before
I
make
that.
