A
A
C
We'll
move
on
to
citizens
comments
this
section
as
well.
We
have,
we
don't
have
a
time
stated,
but
we'll
just
say
up
to
45
minutes.
Each
person
will
have
three
minutes
to
speak
on
any
topic
that
they
would
like
when
you
come
up
here
at
the
podium
or
at
the
desk,
sign
in
your
name
and
address
allegedly
and
stated
for
the
record
for
the
clerk
to
record
I'll
start
on
this
side
of
the
room.
D
D
D
D
Now
that
old
man
told
me
there's
a
bunch
of
people
want
to
go
to
shell
station
on
porter
he's
carrying
his
45.
He
says
it
looks
like
a
u.n
meeting
on
the
side
of
that
building,
he's
smoking,
grass
drinking
beer
and-
and
I
actually
wasted
my
mother
said-
looks
like
they're
all
from
different
countries,
they're
just
doing
whatever
they
want
right
there
right
across
some
photos
properly
and
then
I'm
about
to
always
don't
really
scared
to
go
to
the
food
giant
right
there
across
the
police
department.
D
My
in
friends,
he
told
me
a
bunch
of
pedophiles
going
out
with
helplessness,
trying
to
get
kids
to
help
him.
Then
they
raped
him.
You
got
all
this
stuff
going
on
right
there,
one
mile
for
the
police
department
and
nobody's
doing
nothing,
go
to
bernanke
right
now.
Take
a
picture
of
that
tent
city
on
the
beach
and
tomorrow
morning,
you're
gonna
take
a
picture
of
that
tent
city,
because
I've
done
it
three
days
in
a
row.
It's
exactly
the
same
way
every
day.
D
D
You
know
I.
D
D
B
F
Good
afternoon
I'm
sarah
christlereski,
I'm
the
director
of
the
harrison
county
library
system.
My
address
is
12135
old,
highway
49
and
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
your
support
in
in
the
many
years.
I
have
been
here
and
focus
on
a
few
positive
things
as
far
as
what
the
library
is
doing
and
I,
as
you
all
know,
the
last
few
years
have
been
very
challenging
with
covid.
F
F
F
Besides
the
the
routine
programming
and
the
routine
services
that
we
have.
I
also
wanted
to
underline
a
couple
of
we
talked
in
previous
years
about
outside
funding
and
trying
to
find
different
sources.
We've
got
a
national
competitive
grant
for
help
with
some
of
the
local
history
materials.
They
have
gotten
assistance
for
scanning
the
hindman
collection
and
the
sun
herald
collection.
Those
are
some
enormous
archives
that
were
donated
and
that
are
really
important
and
hopefully,
you've
seen
some
of
those
on
facebook.
F
There
have
been
some
really
wonderful
images
that
have
been
shared
dozens,
thousands
and
thousands
of
times.
So
we're
excited
to
see
that
we're
also
working
with
our
friends
at
the
cta
to
do
another
grant.
That
was
a
national
competitive
grants,
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
and
we're
putting
wi-fi
on
a
couple
of
bus
routes
with
them.
It's
in
the
testing
phase,
and
we
also
are-
we
finally
got
delivery
with
the
supply
chain.
Problems
of
a
custom,
mobile
outreach
vehicle.
F
So
we're
looking
forward
to
things
like
coming
to
first
friday
or
other
events
in
the
different
communities
in
the
county,
with
our
mobile
outreach,
where
we
can
get
to
people
who
can't
come
to
us
and
that
I
think
that's
going
to
really
increase
our
ability
to
serve
people,
especially
people
who
are
the
most
disadvantaged
and
also
do
some
fun
things.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
those
things,
and
I
also
wanted
to
assure
you
that
the
board
is
working
on
some
policy
changes
to
address
concerns
that
have
been
expressed
in
the
community.
F
C
A
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
think
you
all
have
this
schedule
of
what
not
to
mil
expenditures
is
going
to
be
in
a
little
bit
of
the
economic
development.
This
is
pretty
much
in
a
same
position.
We
were
in
21
22.
and
there's
a
couple
of
additions,
but
bottom
line.
A
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
below
the
nine
departmental
expenses
from
last
year,
and
I'm
really
here,
you
know
everybody,
I
think
recognizes
you
know
the
the
items
and
the
object
codes
that
describe
the
kind
of
expense
it
is,
and
I
think
that's
our
best
guess
what
we
needed
to
be.
A
C
I
have
a
question
because
it's
our
biggest
item,
it's
over
10
of
our
total
revenues
that
we
take
in,
and
we
just
heard
from
the
library
director
on
the
library
system,
there's
an
increase.
Last
year
we
increased
the
contribution,
I
believe,
if
I
recall,
and
this
year
there's
another
ten
thousand
dollar
request
to
increase
it
even
further.
C
The
first
question
I
have
I
recall
last
year,
we
you,
the
library,
was
asking
for
an
increase
for
computers
and
or
labor
is.
F
Only
for
two
and
we
we
had
most
of
our
staff-
I
believe
it
was
25
of
our
biloxi
staff-
was
being
paid
8.25
an
hour.
So
we
asked
for
an
increase
to
bring
that
up
to
10,
which
is
still
well
below
the
biloxi
biloxi
staff
minimum.
I
believe
I'm
not
100
sure,
but
that
was
what
the
bulk
of
the
that
was
what
the
increase
was
for
and.
C
Okay,
the
rest
of
the
money
was
it
spent
on
any
additional
purchases.
F
C
Has
the
county
approved
any
increases
yet
or
are
you
requesting
an
increase
from
the
county?
No.
F
They
have
not
at
this
time
they
provide.
They
have
over
the
years,
provided
some
one-time
monies
that
so
that
put
their
budget
a
little
bit
higher
the
last
year,
but
but
they
they
are.
They
are
above
say
four
years
ago.
I'd
have
to
look
back
at
my
budget,
but
they
increased
last
year
to
help
us
with
the
salaries
and
some
other
expenses,
and
this
year
it's
close,
but
it's
not
quite
the
same.
F
C
B
F
F
Million,
I'm
not
sure
about
the
behind
the
scenes
costs
because
I
don't
know.
F
We
pay
some
of
the
utilities
again.
I'd
have
to
look
at
my
budget,
but
we
also,
I
know
we
paid
some
of
the
utilities
and
we
also
have
insurance
like
this.
Nothing
like
this
is
going
out,
but
contents
insurance
and.
F
I'm
not
sure
how
much
they
put
up
behind
the
scenes
like
that.
I
don't
get
those
numbers,
but
I
know
like
I:
none
of
the
cities
fully
fund
the
operation
expenses,
so
that
is
filled
in
with
county
money
or
and
also
state
money.
We
get
a
grant
for
personnel
expenses
from
the
state,
so
but
none
of
the
cities
actually
fund
the
for
us.
Like
I
said
I
don't
know
what
your
sort
of
behind
the
scenes
cost
is,
but
the
county
fills
in
and
also
pays
for
all
the
headquarters
costs.
I
Just
with
financials,
you
said
the
county
is
cutting
back
or
it's
not
what
it
was
last
year,
and
so
I'm
just
looking
at
the
increase
just
for
this
year.
Mr
mayor,
I
mean,
I
think,
it's
fair
to
say
that
this
is
just
a
pass-through
tax.
I
The
county
collects
the
majority
of
taxes
that
we
we
raise,
the
city
of
alexis
and
they're
refusing
to
to
fund
the
library,
so
the
library
is
required
to
come
to
us
and
ask
us
to
pay
the
money
that
the
county
should
I
mean
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
to
address.
It's
a
pass-through
tax
to
us
again.
F
Well,
I
don't
consider
it
they're
refusing
to
we.
We
asked
for
this
amount,
because
in
relation
to
the
previous
years
and
to
the
the
amounts
they've
given
us
above
and
beyond,
you
know,
like
they've,
helped
us
fund
a
cabling
project
that
we
asked
for
extra,
so
I'm
trying
to
trying
to
adjust
it.
You
know
to
a
level
spot.
I
guess
I
thought
well.
I
The
city
of
alexis
does
a
lot
too.
Besides
funding,
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunity,
losses,
tax
and
things
like
that
that
we
could
generate
had
it
not
been
a
library
within
the
system,
but
I
still
think
that
when
the
county
says
we're
not
going
to
give
you
what
you
want
we're
going
to
reduce
it,
and
then
you
come
to
us
and
ask
for
more.
It
feels
like
a
pass-through
tax
to
us.
I'm
not
blaming
you
for
doing
that.
I
It's
fiduciary,
it's
your
fiduciary
responsibility
to
come,
get
the
money
where
you
can
so
I'm
not
blaming
you
for
asking
us
and
I'm
not
even
not
even
blaming
anyone
else.
I'm
just
saying
that
it's
something
that
we
need
to
address.
We
deal
with
the
county
on
so
many
levels
where
the
funding
is
disproportionate
for
what's
raised
and
why
it's
raised,
and
so
this
is
just
another
one
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
to
the
mayor.
I.
F
Would
like
to
shift
the
blame,
though
I
don't
want
the
county
to
take
the
fall
from
my
request
like
they
it's
not
something
where
I
went
and
said
hey.
Would
you
give
me
this
and
they
said
no.
What
I
would
love
to
see
is
for
us
to
be
on
a
millage
basis
with
all
our
funding
funders
and
then
it
could
be
fairly
adjusted
through
that
means,
and
we
could
see
growth
over
time,
but
until
that
happens,
if
it
ever
happens,
it
is
sort
of
it's
a
it's
an
art
rather
than
a
science.
I
Shift
gears,
yes,
I
want
to
go
into
the
the
policy
adjustments
that
you
guys
were
discussing.
I
know
this
last
meeting
and
what
was
brought
to
us
and
presented
to
us
there's
been
there's
been
a
minor
uproar
about
about
what
occurred
about
the
displays
and
things
like
that.
So
what?
What
are
some
of
these
potential
policies
that
you
that
you're
putting
in
place
well.
F
F
Completed
that
because
we
presented
the
draft
at
the
last
meeting,
the
board
wanted
to.
You
know
have
more
time
to
think
about
it,
because
it
is,
you
know
you
have
to
be
careful
not
to
be
too
limiting
in
your
language
where
you
get
into
first
amendment
challenges
and
things
like
that,
but
you
also
want
you
know
you
want
there
to
be
a
process
so
that
we
can
make
sure,
because,
as
a
library,
we
want
to
represent
all
the
citizens,
but
we
also
want
to
be.
F
We
try
to
be
informational
rather
than
trying
to
go
one.
One
way
you
know
like
we
would
never
do
an
election
exhibit
where
we
supported
one
side
or
you
know
we
would
have
it
be.
This
is
where
you
go
to
vote
and
you
know
maybe
information
on
the
parties
through
time.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
informational
and
not
giving
any
sort
of
message.
That
is
beyond
that.
So
we're
working
on
language.
F
For
that
and,
like
I
said
it,
we're
getting
advice
from
experts
and
it
may
take
us
a
little
time,
but
we
are
we're
working
hard
to
get
something.
I'm
not
saying
we'll
never
have
any
display
that
make
that
doesn't
makes
anybody
mad
again,
you
know
or
that
that
is
produced,
but
we
will.
We
will
make
sure
that
we,
we
think
through
them
and
we
have
a
process
for
doing
that.
F
Once
it's
passed
and
final,
which
I
can't
we're
having
a
meeting
in
august-
and
I
feel
like
the
board-
wants
to
put
this
in
place
so
depending
on
on
how
much
how
much
it
is-
I'm
not
really
sure
what
what
what
their
feelings
are
and
what
they
might
want
to
add,
because
we
also
like
I
mentioned.
If
we're
doing
something
that
might
limit
speech,
we
probably
also
want
to
have
you
know
legal
look
at
it
as
well.
So,
but
but
we
are
a
pretty
efficient
group.
F
I
F
J
J
If,
if
you're,
making
an
appropriation
request,
the
library
commission
has
a
board
of
directors
right.
I
believe
most
of
them
are
here
today.
J
Trustees
and
if,
if
anybody
has
a
question
about
anything
related
to
the
library
that
might
even
become
controversial,
that's
why
you
have
the
trustees.
Yes,
you
have
the
collective
wisdom
of
the
trustees
and
I
think,
there's
a
a
trustee
from
one
from
each
city
and
one
from
the
county
at
large.
Roughly
so-
and
I
think
mr
mr
vincent
spoke
to
that
the
other
day,
so
there's
an
appeal
process.
J
If
there's
an
issue
that
comes
up,
I
noticed
that
the
request
this
year
is
for
an
additional
ten
thousand
dollars
from
seven
hundred
twenty
three
thousand
to
seven
hundred
thirty
three
thousand,
and
was
that
your
request
to
the
administration
or
is
the
administration
making
that
request?
And
you
were
just
as
surprised
as
we
may
have
been
to
see
that
no.
F
We
have
vehicles,
everything
has
gone
up,
so
that's
that's
what
we're
trying
to
cover
mainly
with
we
with
with
this
and
we're
we're
trying
to
do
that
in
most
other
places
as
well
we're
hoping
if
I'm
optimistic
next
year,
we
might
get
a
little
bit
more
state
funding
that'll
help
us
out,
but
I
shouldn't
count
any
chickens.
I
suppose.
J
F
We
replaced
the
patron
computers
and
then
the
friends
of
the
library
gave
some
to
help
start
on
staff
computers,
but
we're
still
we're
still
lagging
on
that
because
you
know
we
we
started
asking
if
you
remember
when
I
first
moved
here
in
2018
was
when
we
started
this
process,
and
now
it's
2022,
and
so
the
ones
that
we
started
with
are
now
becoming
obsolete,
as,
as
you
know
how
that
happens
very
quickly,
but
but
we
we
have
more
options
with
the
patron
computers.
F
J
E
J
Well,
I
appreciate
your
efforts
on
behalf
of
the
community
with
the
public
library.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
C
I
want
to
come
back
to
a
couple
of
points.
When
is
your
fiscal
year,
it's.
C
C
Right,
could
you
borrow
a
copy
of
that?
Yes,.
F
And
I
just
did
want
to
pick
up
on
something
mr
tisdale
said.
Is
that
I
I
would
if,
if
there
are
questions
or
concerns,
please
please
contact
me
or
or
dave.
If
you
have
things
that
come
up,
because
I
definitely
want
to
hear
about
things
like
the
earlier
the
better.
If
there
are
questions
or
you
know,
if
you
want
to
see
other
things
like
policies
or
financials
or
anything.
C
Like
that,
we
appreciate
that
open
door
policy.
Thank
you
for
that
on
hr
decisions,
do
you
all
have
an
hr
department
or
who
makes
hiring
decisions?
It.
F
It
depends
on
the
level
of
the
hire
generally
at
the
branch
level.
Each
city
has
a
head
librarian
and
so
the
head,
librarian
and
manager
are
involved
in
that
you
know
there
are
some
that
I
am
involved
in
like
especially
if
there's
a
new.
We
have
a
new
manager
at
our
world
market
library,
and
so
I
interviewed
for
when,
when
miss
posey
retired,
because
that's
a
you
know,
if
it's
a
higher
level,
I
really
want
to
be
involved
in
making
those
decisions.
F
If
it's,
if
it's
you
know,
if
it's,
if
it's
not,
then
it
just
depends
on
timing,
I
like
to
be
at
any
interviews,
but
I'm
not
always
able
to.
C
F
F
Sure
she
said
three
they're,
three
clerk,
part-time
clerk
positions
open
and
they
haven't
all
been
posted
and
then
miss
jane
shambra,
who
I'm
sure
you
all
know
who's
at
local
history
has
been
there
for
about
16
years,
full-time
is
retiring,
so
that
position
will
be
open
soon.
C
F
We'd
have
to
cut
something
it
might
be
books
like
we
did
before
when
we
had.
When
you
cut
our
budget
thirty
thousand
two
years
ago,
we
didn't
order
materials
for
biloxi,
you
know
it
might
be.
It
really
just
depends
on
on
the
amount,
how
much
we
could
cut
and
where
are
we?
You
know
there's
some
things
we
can't
cut
like
insurance
or
electricity
type
things
we
can't
cut
back
on
that.
So.
E
L
L
B
A
Other
than
you
know
your
interaction
with
us
in
an
official
audit,
or
something
like
that.
I
don't
think
anybody
else
other
than
orr
and
I
think-
and
I
think
councilman.
C
B
A
Well,
I
think
you
know
they
do
that
audit
and
they'll
provide
that
information.
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment,
though,
generally
in
looking
at-
and
I
don't
know
whether
you
have
any
statistics
like
my
little
brain
works
on
like
books
per
person
in
jurisdictions
or
something
like
that,
I'm
just
kidding
now.
Okay,
we.
F
A
Yeah
I
do
want
to,
and
george
mentioned
something
about,
124
years
old
and
we're
300
something
years
old.
We
do
have,
you
know
more
libraries
than
anybody
and
we
want
to
be
simply
the
best.
So
we
got
four,
you
know
facilities
and
I
think
the
latest
and
one
we
added
and
will
market
represents
a
you
know,
a
pretty
significant
effort,
we're
putting
significant
dollars
in
it,
and
you
know
everybody
has
questions
on
the
effectiveness
of
it
and
you
know
if
you
look
at
2020,
20
or
actually
60
minutes
talk
about
this
is
transformational.
A
Your
business
is
transformational
every
day
you
got
to
you,
know
bob
and
weave
and
do
the
things
that
need
to
be
do
that
need
to
be
done
to
keep
up
with
information.
So
you
know
to
be
the
best
you
got
to.
You
know
step
up
to
the
plate
and
I
think
this
is
what
the
council
asked
is
some
reasonable
information
for
them
to
make
decisions,
but
we
do
have
twice
as
many
libraries
as
gulfport.
A
Again,
I
don't
know
how
many
square
feet,
but
I
can
I
can
make
a
case
out
with
statistics,
but
I
do,
I
think,
we're
supportive
of
your
asking
and
where
we
need
to
be,
but
we
do
expect
to
stay
on
the
edge
and
make
sure
that
we,
you
know,
meet
the
challenges
that
pop
the
challenge
every
day.
It'll
be
a
surprise
to
not
have
a
surprise.
So
it's
my
statement
all
right.
B
I
guess
my
biggest
thing
is
to
find
the
largest
donation
we
give
to
anybody,
the
library.
Well,
it's
not
so
much.
No,
nobody
has
a
politician.
Nobody
has
a
problem
says
you
just
prove
the
nickels.
What
you
doing?
That's
all!
That's
all,
I'm
actually
just
like
anybody.
We
deal
with
more
money.
Let.
A
F
If
the,
if
the
audit
is
in
my
email,
I
can
send
it
to
your
office
to
be
distributed.
I
feel
like
I
have
a
pdf
in
my
email,
and
I
can
do
it
from
here
and
I'll
I'll
get,
but
if
not
I'll
do
it
as
soon
as
I
get
back
to
my
office,
because
we're
happy
to
share
that
you
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
good
things
with
your
money.
L
The
public
library
is
a
service
to
our
community
and
I'm
a
product
of
public
library,
I'm
a
product,
so
we
have
to
have
service
in
our
communities
because
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
don't
have
access
and
don't
have
internet,
and
that's
the
only
opportunity
and
with
a
small
increase
you
know
those
are
pennies
on
the
dollar
because
their
usage
ship
is
up
and
since
pre-katrina,
so
this
is
you
know
this
is
well
thought
out.
L
Well
done
and-
and
I
see
no
problem
with
it-
actually,
you
know
they're
squeezing.
So
thank
you
guys
for
all
what
you
do.
Thank
you.
M
Yeah,
so
I
was
going
to
say,
I
would
like
to
see
the
policies
that
are
probably
going
to
be
set
in
place
as
well.
As
you
know,
I've
always
been
an
advocate
for
the
library
system
every
year.
I
push
for
exactly
what
you
ask
for
and
for
your
employee
raises,
and
computers.
M
But
I
would
like
to
say
you
know,
I
think,
that
the
libraries
as
I
grew
up,
they
were
always
there
for
knowledge
on
jobs.
You
know
quickly
quick
projects,
reports,
things
like
that,
so
anything
special
other
than
that.
I
think
that's
what
amazon
is
for
to
me.
These
books
that
I
saw
pictures
of
of
two
boys,
kissing
or
even
a
girl
and
a
boy
kissing,
is
no
different
on
display,
not
just
in
the
library
but
on
display
is
no
different
than
going
to
a
grocery
store
and
seeing
a
display
of
sex
toys
and
condoms.
M
I
mean
it's
just
inappropriate,
so
I
think
just
like.
If
I
had
children
I
can
sensoritize
the
television,
I
should
be
able
to
do
the
same
with
books.
If
I
have
my
child
go
to
the
library,
I
shouldn't
have
to
worry
about
what
book
they
pick
up
or
what
are
they
looking
at,
or
you
know
things
like
that,
so
it's
in
my
opinion,
it's
one
thing:
if
you're
going
to
have
knowledge
on
these
type
of
books,
but
to
be
on
display
is
another,
so
I
would
like
to
see
the
new
policies
in
place.
J
Along
that,
along
that
vein,
we
had
a
couple
of
individuals
speak
last
week
and
I
watched
their
comments
a
couple
of
times
on
the
video
the
word
parents
was
mentioned,
a
total
of
three
times
the
children,
child
or
children
was
mentioned
16
times,
and
I
kept
thinking
if
I
was
a
child
going
into
the
library
with
displays
by
employees
of
the
library
who
have
a
manager
on
site
and
commissioners
to
help
guide
the
library
and
its
policies.
J
J
Okay
and
usually,
if
they're
children
to
every
age
of
10,
11
or
12,
and
even
then
you
have
parents
with
their
kids
in
the
library
and
just
for
a
frame
of
reference.
As
times
change,
when
I
was
in
high
school,
it
was
went
as
far
back
as
george,
but
sports
illustrated
was
was
not
even
around
when
george
was
in
high
school.
J
So
it's
it's
a
different
time
in
a
different
world
that
we
live
in
a
couple
years
after
that
it's
no
big
whoop,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
there
will
always
be
a
need
for
public
libraries
for
free
materials
to
check
out
whether
there's
an
amazon,
whether
there's
commercial,
digital,
bookstores
or
whatever.
There
are
always
citizens
who
can't
afford
those
things
and
just
like
a
free
public
education,
free
public
libraries
are
are
essential
to
any
well-governed
wealth,
good
functioning
municipality.
C
You,
mr
tisdale,
I'm
going
to
try
to
wrap
it
up
with
my
comments.
Unless
there's
some
more,
I
don't
think
there's
any
question
that
we
want
a
library
service
in
the
city
of
biloxi.
That
goes
without
saying.
Any
city
certainly
takes
pride
in,
however
many
libraries
they
have
so
so
that
core
thing
is
not
being
questioned.
C
What
is
being
questioned
in
these
budget
discussions
is
an
amount
that
we
fund
and,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
well
over
10
percent.
When
you
add
on
some
of
the
other
stuff,
it
goes
even
higher
than
10
percent
of
our
revenues
coming
in
and
we
are
charged
once
a
year
by
looking
at
those
requests,
non-departmental
and
other
departments
to
run
the
city
if
it's
an
appropriate
amount.
C
Certainly
we
need
to
look
at
an
audited
income
statement
or
or
your
your
annual
report,
whatever
we
call
it
to
see
where
those
monies
is
being
spent
and
seeing
what
you're
asking
from
us,
because
whether
the
robbery
is
funded
with
a
half
a
million
dollars
or
a
million
dollars
or
two
million
dollars.
You
know
those
dollars
should
be
spent
appropriately.
C
The
other
thing
we've
discussed
and
it's
become
a
highlight
of
controversy
in
the
media
recently,
as
certain
displays,
you
know,
and
we
picked
one
that
was
recently
displayed
to
talk
and
debate.
Is
it
appropriate?
How
could
it
be
done
differently?
Your
board
is
a.
It
seems
like
they're
addressing
it.
C
There
should
be
a
mechanism
where
any
displays
should
be
run
by
your
board
before
it
gets
to
this
point,
in
my
opinion,
but
that's
something
that
you're
going
to
have
to
make
a
decision
on
so
that
that's
a
that's
another
issue
is
as
a
city
we
have
to
discuss
as
a
community
and
then
come
to
a
resolution.
What
is
appropriate,
what
is
not
appropriate
and
and
move
on,
but
for
today's
discussions,
we're
talking
about
a
budget
amount
that
we're
weighing.
What
is
that
amount?
K
Just
briefly,
just
like
miss
newman,
I've
always
been
an
advocate
for
our
library
system.
I
fought
and
well
not
fault,
but
worked
with
the
county,
our
administration
and
we
got
moved
out
of
a
ratty
rundown
trailer
into
a
new
library.
But
I
do
have
some
concerns
about.
You
know
certain
displays.
I
remember
growing
up,
as
mr
tisdale
was
talking
about
and-
and
I
guess
sports
illustrated
was
around
whenever
I
was
growing
up,
but
when
you
would
go
to
a
bookstore
books,
a
million
or
whatever
it
used
to
be
an
edgewater
mall.
K
Adult
magazines
would
be
hidden
away,
and
I
mean
I've
raised
two
children
and
I
mean
I
had
a
12
13
year
old.
I
had
to
make
sure,
go,
tell
him
to
take
a
bath
or
he
wouldn't
take
a
bath,
and
so
I
think
that
that
something
just
being
out
in
the
open
for
a
kid
to
see,
there
are
certain
things
that
we
have
to
protect.
K
K
Otherwise,
and
so
that
does
call
me
cause
me
some
concern
and
as
soon
as
there
are
some
policies
accepted,
I
would
like
to
see
that
as
well.
Okay,
yes,.
E
C
L
Yeah,
I
was
just
sitting
here
listening
to
the
comments
I
think
councilman,
our
president
hit
the
nail
on
the
head,
we'll
hear
about
the
budget
right
now.
We're
not
here
about
trying
to
legislate
anything.
L
The
county
have
their
own
board
and
there
are
certain
procedures
and
protocol
that
are
already
in
place,
and
if
we
get
away
from
handling
protocol
doing
things
decent
and
in
order
in
the
proper
way,
then
we're
gonna
legit
we
just
might
as
well
just
legislate
everything.
So
that's
not
our
job.
They
have
a
whole
board
there,
and
if
people
have
concerns,
they
need
to
take
it
to
the
board.
Our
job
is
to
decide
whether
we
want
to
allocate
this
amount.
Is
there
a
need
for
this
service
we've
established?
L
There
is
a
need,
we're
establishing
the
amount
that
we
need
to
give
them,
and
then
they
have
a
whole
board
there
that
have
certain
procedures
and
protocol
that
they
need
to
go
through
and
that's
what
we
need
to.
Let
them
do
their
job
in
that
area.
Let's
not
take
somebody
else's
job
away
from
them.
Thank.
C
You
thank
you,
mr
collins.
Okay,
let's
go
ahead
and.
N
N
But
she
she
gives
so
much.
She
works
so
hard
and
she's
dedicated.
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
you
have
a
really
good
person
here,
probably
one
of
the
best
in
the
state,
if
not
the
state
and
other
states
around
here,
and
so
we're
lucky
here
on
the
coast
to
have
such
a
person
here
and
as
you
make
decision,
and
we
do
have
a
board-
and
you
know
I
don't
necessarily
agree
with
everything
that
they
we
had
on
on
some
of
these
displays
and
that's
reason
why
we're
coming
up
with
a
new
policy.
N
There
was
no
policy
in
the
state
of
mississippi,
so
we're
the
first
in
the
state
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
policy
concerning
displays.
So
things
are
tough.
The
library
is
always
at
the
very
bottom
of
everything
you
want.
You
want
to
try
to
get
money,
well
we're
at
the
very
lowest,
and
I
know
mr
ryan
just
said
we
don't
make
money.
Well,
maybe
we
don't
make
money
right
now,
but
every
mind.
That's
here
has
been
influenced
by
a
library
somewhere
along
the
line.
N
N
So
I
was
able
to
go
to
the
library-
and
I
think,
there's
many
children
in
the
city
of
biloxi,
who
probably
can't
afford
books,
but
they
can
go
to
the
library
and
lynch
and
maybe
they
think,
about
space
or
something
else
or
computers
that
they're
going
to
go
into.
So
the
libraries
really
provide
a
vital
service
to
this
community
and
what
we're
asking,
I
don't
think,
is
very
much
because
everything's
going
up
with
information
and
we
have
to
struggle
every
month
to
be
able
to
provide
what
we
provide
to
the
city
of
lexi.
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Let's
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
cta
since.
B
The
library
I
said
you
could
you
don't
create
revenue,
that's
what
I
was
saying
about
the
library.
It's
not
a
revenue
machine,
I'm
not
saying
about.
Nobody,
has
money
and
all
that
stuff
like
that.
That's
what
I'm
saying
it's
not
like
a
lot
of
business
that
you
create
money.
It's
not
the
purpose
of
the
library
and
I
wrote
the
most
of
the
counseling.
B
O
Chris
is
here
on
behalf
of
kevin,
and
so
am
I
unfortunately
kevin's
been
sick,
the
last
two
days
and
he's
in
bed
today,
so
he
extends
his
apologies
for
not
being
able
to
attend.
O
So
I
think
we're
gonna
start
with
a
quick
agenda
for
the
things
we'd
like
to
present
today,
including
a
a
brief
summary
of
the
services
that
cta
is
providing
for
biloxi
beyond
just
the
fixed
route
and
some
performance
data
on
cta's
performance
relative
to
to
peers.
P
P
300
000
riders
per
year-
and
I
can
tell
you,
say,
pre-covered
everybody's
you
know:
transit
agencies
are
struggling
with
ridership,
but
we
are
up
to
80
ridership
base
right
now
moving
forward
and
that
national
average
of
increase
is
only
60
percent,
so
we'll
rate
way
above
that
curve.
P
The
city
pays
now
only
20
percent
of
the
cost,
with
the
balance
the

we,
the
coveted
grant.
Last
year
we
had
a
covent
grant.
That
would
reduce
the
subsidy
contribution
by
not
a
little
over
98
000
that
is
not
available
this
year.
P
P
P
Brings
in
workers
from
four
states
along
the
coast-
and
I
say
that
by
saying
we
bring
workers
from
to
engle,
stennis
and
all
too,
but
we're
also
working
within
casinos
to
solve
some
of
their
work.
Transportation
needs.
The
big
thing
right
now
is
attendance.
We're
talking
some
too
about
band
pool
options.
P
Cta
of
biloxi
transit
center,
where
the
the
bus
turner
for
greyhound,
hopefully
future
and
amtrak
service,
will
be.
The
main
hub
here
in
biloxi,
includes
rental
store
space
within
biloxi,
the
transit
center
to
the
60.
P
P
All
capital
projects
right
now
are
not
currently
reports.
We
have,
we
just
brought
on
an
electric
bus
within
our
main
facility
to
the
tune
of
1.4
million.
That
was
brought
on,
of
course,
that
bus
is
going
to
serve
half
on
the
route.
Right
is
right.
P
150
000
that's
500
thousand
dollars
for
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
within
two
months
we
have
ordered
and
to
receive
six
new
demand
responses
that
are
arrived.
P
The
casino
hopper
route
serves
all
of
biloxi
within,
of
course,
all
casinos
and
the
beachcomber
is
from
biloxi
to
gulfport.
But
I'd
like
to
add
to
the
beachcomber
out,
that's
a
heavy
within
heavy
tourist
routes
and
of
course,
we
want
to
be
a
part
of
we're
being
a
big
part
working
with
the
tourism
groups
to
be
a
part
of
the
experience
along
the
coast
with
the
trolleys
along
the
routes.
P
Last
year's
ask,
which
was
at
2.6
million
biloxi
subsidies,
was
190
000.
or
294
000.
P
What
was
requested.
O
O
O
Subsidy
per
dollar
subsidy
dollars
per
passenger
again
is
best
in
class
at
36
of
the
average
of
of
our
peer
groups.
So
this
data
all
comes
from
the
national
transportation
board
and
it's
usually
updated
every
two
years.
P
Consistently
consistently
take
over
150
surveys
a
month
just
to
check
on
data
things
that
are
moving
trends.
Some
key
points
to
take
away
from
the
data
is
actually
62
of
our
riders
ride.
Fixed
route
service
daily
87
do
not
own
a
car
that
really
shows
that
dependent
ridership
base.
We
have
our
riders
are
low
income,
which
is
they
follow
the
11
and
24
11
and
25
000
annually.
P
We
have
41
work
related
travel
within
our
system.
We
broke
that
down
into.
Is
it
casino
work,
retail
medical
center
over
50
consistently?
I
went
to
casino
workers.
That's
that
results
in
20
percent
of
our
riders
used
for
casino
work
forward
trading
is
consistently.
O
The
biloxi
total
service
hours
ridership
and
the
total
cost
of
service
pans
out
against.
O
Ridership
at
a
at
about
312
000
riders
per
year,
which
is
done
through
the
fixed
route.
This
is
strictly
and
doesn't
include
all
the
the
ada
and
other
demand
service
related
hours,
so
25
700
hours
is
re
of
service.
Time
is
what's
required
for
the
current
business.
O
O
B
C
You
appeared
before
us
nearly
a
year
ago
right
and
we
talked
about
the
casinos
con,
their
contribution
and
you.
O
Would
step
up
to
the
plate
and
indicate
that
they
would
in
any
way
consider
providing
part
of
the
city's
subsidies.
O
C
C
C
Providing
a
service
and
people
are
riding
it
more
than
ever,
and
and
your
your
efficiencies
are
through
the
roof.
When
is
the
last
time
you've
had
a
fair
increase
in
what
was
that
amount.
O
We
have
talked
about
this
in
the
in
last
board
meeting
in
fact,
and
we
felt
that,
with
the
current
inflationary
impacts,
that
this
coming
fiscal
year
was
not
the
right
time
to
go,
raise
fares.
But
I
think
we're
going
to
take
a
very
strong
look
at
that
for
next
fiscal
year,
because
at
some
point
we
we
do
need
to
start
further
supplementing
the
subsidies
that
all
of
the
cities
we
serve
can
be
reduced.
Thank.
C
O
O
O
C
I
appreciate
that,
but
the
document
that
I
have
here,
which
is
the
mayor's
reported
non-departmental,
has
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
O
O
Well,
we
started
first
with
them
having
discussions
about.
You
know
where
we
could
go
with
grants
and
things
and
at
when
we
first
initially
put
put
last
year's
budget
together,
we
didn't
have
last
year's
covert
relief.
It
had
not
yet
been
granted
by
the
federal
agencies.
O
We
had
it
the
year
before
and
it
was
a
200
and
some
thousand
dollar
offset.
So
you've
had
two
years
that
that
coveted
helped
cover
the
shortfalls.
But
but
this
this
ask
is
not
unsimilar
to
what
prior
years
have
been.
Typically,
your
your
subsidy
has
been
between
290
and
350
000
for
the
last
10
years.
C
What
I
believe
you
need
to
do
is
look
at
that
fair
increase.
You've
already
stated
that
you
haven't
done
one
in
in
a
long
long
time.
You
need
to
continue
to
talk
to
the
casinos
that
you've
touted
in
your
growing
report
today.
That
20
plus
percent
is
casino
workers,
not
to
mention
the
people
that
go
to
the
casinos
themselves,
and
then
you
got
electric
cars.
C
J
O
O
None
of
the
federal
grants
allow
all
of
the
federal
grants
require
a
sub
a
local
subsidy,
whether
it's
us
going
out
and
selling
ice
cream
on
the
side
of
the
street
as
a
cta
fundraiser
or
whether
it's
the
city
having
to
come
up
with
the
funds.
The
fact
is
is
that
for
every
dollar
you
don't
want
to
spend
with
a
subsidy.
We
lose
five
dollars
of
grant
money,
so
the
impact
to
the
city
is
not
just.
O
P
And
I'm
glad
that
the
like,
I
said,
only
that
only
increased
or
that
money's
not
available
anymore.
We
had
that
code
relief
money.
We
did
put
that
forward.
That
was
98
000
last
year
within
that
formula
this
year,
that's
only
a
four
percent
are
operating.
Our
hourly
operating
costs
only
went
from
75
to
78.
It's
only
a
four
percent
increase,
that's
even
on
top
of
nine
percent
right
now,
inflation
and
fuel
prices,
which
we're
well
in
tune
to
is
a
190
000
over
63
percent.
Over.
K
Say
something
if
you
I
didn't
see
it
in
here
and
I
may
have
overlooked
it.
If
you
could
maybe
email
us
over
the
last
five
years,
the
what
the
cities
gave.
I
I
just
want
some
clarity,
as
certain
terms
are
relative
and
have
different
meanings.
Different
people
in
here
you
put
the
annual
value
of
service
and
the
annual
value
to
biloxi,
and
he
used
the
term
value
instead
of
cost.
So
if
value
value
is
something
that's
different
for
everyone
right
now,
how
are
we
engaging
the
term
value?
What
what?
What
is
this
is
this
just
supposed
to
be
transposed
for
the
word
cost,
or
that.
O
O
I
O
I
So
I
went
through
with
kevin
a
couple
of
years
ago,
probably
before
the
covet
issue
and
discussed
the
whole
fare
increase
and-
and
while
I
understand
it's,
it's
that's
a
very
complicated
process,
because
if
you
add
more
here,
you
lose
more
here
and
if
you
lose
more
here,
you
have
to
add
more
here.
If
you
add
more
here
and
you
get
more
heat,
it's
a
ridiculous.
What's
the
game
where
you
move
the
cups
around.
P
I
Right
so
I
know
there's
an
algorithm
and
we
have
to
find
the
way
we
can
maximize
everyone's
benefit.
The
one
thing
I
wanted
to
ask
from
you
is
all
these
graphs
to
me.
They
could
be
misleading
because
the
way
I'm
looking
at
them
right,
I
don't
have
what
I
don't
really
have
the
sources
behind
them.
So
when
you
look
at
when
you
look
at
a
baton
rouge,
they
have
a
part.
They
have
a
base
population
of
225
000
people
which
is
far
exceeds
biloxi
and
gulfport.
Their
msa
is
almost
a
million.
O
The
way
the
transportation
board
national
transportation
board
segments
this
it's
a
range
of
of
populations,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
peer
groups,
we
fall
into
a
particular
range,
which
I
think
goes
up
to
250
000
population
right.
I
I
O
On
these
grants
to
roll
down
to
where
you
get
to
calculate
how
much
local,
subsidy
or
local
generated
revenue
has
to
be
included
in
order
to
qualify
for
the
grants,
but
you'll
notice
on
the
slides.
It's
up
there
right
now,
there's
a
number
of
items
that
actually
act
as
part
of
the
quote
local
match,
because
many
of
the
federal
grants
are
only
50
percent,
meaning
we
have
to
cover.
I
How
many,
how
many
of
these
routes
go
into
county?
All
the
cities
are
all
part
of
the
county.
How
many
of
these
routes
travel
in
unincorporated
areas
of
the
county.
O
Zero
on
the
fixed
route-
okay,
it's
we!
We
do
a
lot
of
on
on
demand
and
the
vanpool
services
and
stuff
like
that
is
mostly
what
we
provide
out
into
the
county.
O
120,
something
I
don't,
I
don't
it's
either
120
125.
I
can't
remember
exactly
okay.
Thank
you!
That's
all
I
have
you
know
like
the
least
income
that
we
get
for
the
shops
that
are
that
are
renting
from
the
the
bus
terminal
in
downtown
biloxi.
O
You
know
that
lease
that
lease
revenue
all
counts
against
your
your
total.
Some
of
these
other
sources
of
revenue,
you're
supposed
to
request
to
be
500,
grand
and
advertising,
is
an
opportunity
for
us.
We've
increased
the
advertising
income
somewhat
this
year,
but
now
we're
putting
a
full
court
press,
including
going
to
put
digital
boards
on
the
buses
and
the
in
the
two
main
terminals,
and
we
think
we
can,
over
the
next
couple
of
years
double
the
advertising
revenue,
which
would.
I
O
I
E
O
Your
discussions
with
the
library
I
figured
you'd
be
asking
for
that.
The
we
just
completed
and
the
board
approved
last
week
our
annual
audit,
the
financial
audit
through
the
third
party
auditors.
So
it
is
available
now
for
for
public
view
as
of
last
week.
So
I'll
make
a
request
to
the
cta
management
to
forward
that
to
you.
B
You
can't
increase
anything
35,
you
can't
do
it,
you
don't
have
the
money
you've
got
to
take
care
of
the
taxpayers
and
the
city
and
the
bills
we've
got
to
pay.
You
come
in
and
be
all
up.
You
want
a
30
40
50
increase
these
riders
that
ride.
You
can't
go
around
increasing
this
budget.
25
percent
waiting
for
your
numbers.
You've
been
making
your
space.
I'm
telling
you
now
you
look
at
us.
We
can't
do
that.
You
can't
increase.
B
B
B
B
C
C
Have
you
looked
at
the
financial
statements
that
you
said
just
came
out?
Do
you
are
you
privy
to
that
information
yeah.
O
C
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
that
dynamics.
You
know
that's
where
we're
up
here
to
try
to
understand
right.
That's
why
I
asked
the
question
you
know:
salaries
have
increased.
All
this
stuff
is
increasing,
but
the
fares,
you're
saying
you
can't
increase
the
fair
because
the
ridership
would
go
down.
I
don't
you've
got
to
get.
O
It
was
hard
for
us
as
a
board
to
justify
asking
cta
to
do
a
fair
increase
this
year.
C
Just
as
you
had
to
make
a
decision
to
increase
salaries
from
mechanics
and
etc,
you've
already
stated
twenty
percent
of
your
ridership
is
going
to
the
as
a
casino
worker.
It
might
be
in
the
interest
of
the
casino
industry
to
get
that
worker
to
work.
I
think,
they're
in
the
same
boat.
You
are
needing
help
to
run
their,
but
what.
O
They're,
doing,
though,
is
they're
they're
buying
passes
from
us
and
giving
them
as
a
subsidy
to
their
employees,
instead
of
giving
it
as
a
subsidy
to
cta
we're.
P
Working
with
two
casinos
right
now
on
along
the
coast
that
are
not
only
providing
heavy
comps
for
workers
and
some
subsidizing
transportation,
so
their
employees
can't
get
to
work.
B
Talking
about
employees
we're
probably
down
85
90
employees,
we're
to
work
fair,
we're
going
to
probably
have
to
increase
pay
again
I
like
to
fix
our
budget
just
like
you,
so
you're
no
different
than
the
dams
than
anybody
else.
We
all
have
to
go
through
the
same
thing.
How
you
make
it
balanced?
We
have
to
prove
it
to
the
people
to
make
it
balance
to
keep
to
employees.
I
understand,
keep
the
city
running.
I
understand
we
have
to
do
the
same
thing.
O
P
I
said
I'll
go
back
to
saying
that
98
000
was
provided
as
a
covert
relief
fund.
Yesterday
we
did
go
out.
We
research
every
angle
we
can
for
grant
money
and
everything
that's
appropriate
that
we
can
bring
forth
to
reduce
the
subsidy
for
the
city,
whether
it
be
looking
at
additional
advertising
opportunities,
which
we
are
right
now
who
to
to
different
areas
of
growth
where
we
can
offset
that.
But,
like
I
said
the
big
hit
here,
is
you
know
you
do
not
have
that
like?
C
I
O
Well,
it
would
be
yeah,
so
it's
because
all
the
other,
the
fare
box
is
part
of
the
local
match.
Okay,
it's
taking
it
from
your
pocket
and
putting
it
in
the
fare
box
money,
but
it
doesn't
change
the
total
service.
So.
B
You
said
you
had
two
routes
that
you
take
people
out
of
biloxi,
bring
them
to
the
iowaville.
You
take
people
out
of
blocks
and
bring
them
to
gulfport
how's
the
gup
put
in
the
album
pay.
For
the
same
thing,
we're
doing
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
two
big
routes:
yeah,
it
keeps
people
inside
that's
the
first
thing.
O
So
we
broke
it
up,
based
on
on
ridership
on
the
real,
the
routes
that
are
shared
between
the
two
cities.
So
we
know
what
the
ridership
leaving
gulfport
to
come
to
biloxi
and
vice
versa,
and
so
we
just
prorate
that,
based
on
the
ridership.
B
O
O
C
You
thank
you,
gentlemen.
I
really
do
appreciate
the
spirited
discussion.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
think
the
way
we'll
do
the
remainder
of
the
items.
If
somebody
wants
to
pick
a
particular
item
to
discuss
why
it's
a
certain
amount,
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
continue
the
rest
once
we
finish
with
those,
if
there's
any
new
items
that
you
would
like
to
introduce
to
add
to
to
this
list,
then
we
can
add
it
for
the
administration
to
consider.
Mr
president,.
C
We'll
do
that.
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you.
So
the
of
the
items
that
are
on
the
list
does
anyone
want
to
discuss
any
of
these
items.
I'll
start
for
you
to
pick
one
mr
lawrence
and
then
we'll
we'll
kind
of
go
around
and
back
to
you,
give
everybody
a
chance,
amen.
B
The
martin
luther
celebration,
he
said
he'd
like
to
just
leave
it
where
it's
sitting
right
now
and
then
he'll
deal
with
that
next
year
on
the
10
000.,
he
just
said:
leave
it
like
it
was
ten
thousand
x
feels
40
left
on
the
martin
luther
king,
yeah,
okay
and
then
the
one.
I
think
ken
wants
to
talk
about
the
boom.
B
C
Just
add
another
2500
to
the
boom
boom:
twelve
five,
instead
of
ten.
A
Okay,
I
was
one
time
asked
from
last
year
to
catch
up
to
whatever
it
was.
B
J
A
couple
of
things,
let
me
take
the
women's
center.
First
of
all,
I
just
have
a
question.
I
see
miss
miss
riley
there.
What
the
mayor
said
the
funding
last
year
was
at
15
000
for
the
center
and
continue
that
into
this
year
last
year
we
appropriated
5
000
for
the
family
justice
center,
and
that
was
kind
of
a
seed
money.
Was
that
money
used
this
year.
J
J
But
the
family
justice
center
is
is
you're
still
working
towards
that
goal.
You
still
need
seed
money
and
you
still
have
a
couple
of
weeks
if
it
helps
in
this
fiscal
year
to
request
that
five
thousand
dollars
and
if,
if
you
are
looking
for
additional
seed
money-
and
I
I
think
ms
newman
mentioned
that-
and
maybe
we
want
to
budget
another
5
000
for
this
next
year-
I
just
know
that
the
seed
money
is
important
from
all
the
cities
in
harrison
county
to
help
you
get
that
center
established
correct.
Q
My
name
is
stacy
riley
and
the
ceo
of
the
gulf
coast
center
for
non-violence.
Thank
you
for
for
having
me
here.
As
you
know,
we've
been
here
for
a
long
time
providing
services
for
anybody.
Who's
been
affected
by
domestic
violence
and
sexual
assault,
homicide,
sex
trafficking,
child
abuse,
you
name
it
we
do
it.
So
what
we
have
been
doing,
I'm
here
today
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
than
what
we've
been
doing
for
the
last
45
years.
We've
entered
a
big
step
and
it's
kind
of
on
what
dr
tizdel
was
talking
about.
Q
Is
our
family
justice
center
project.
We
have
ventured
out
and
we
have
purchased
a
building
in
the
city
of
biloxi,
that's
going
to
act
as
our
justice
center
and
it's
going
to
be
something
that
we're
able
to
use
as
our
one-stop
shop.
So
anyone
who's
been
affected
by
interpersonal
violence
can
walk
the
door
of
this
facility
and
get
help
immediately.
Q
It
is
going
to
be
our
location
in
the
community
because
you
know
forever.
We've
been
the
shelter
that
you
can't
know
where
it's
at,
but
this
is
going
to
be
the
place
that
people
know
we
are
so
we
will
have
people
that
can
walk
in.
So
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
consider
appropriating
some
funding
for
this
project
to
allow
us
to
continue
to
provide
these
valuable
services
and
then
the
expansion
of
our
services
to
the
city
of
biloxi
and
all
the
citizens
we
serve.
Q
I
gave
in
the
packet
you
have
you
have
a
copy
of
our
annual
report
to
kind
of
see
the
impact
that
we
have
on
the
community
as
well
as
what
all
we
have
provided
to
individuals
from
the
city
of
biloxi
to
see
that
the
breadth
of
the
services-
and
we
just
know
that
this
new
facility,
which
should
should
be
open
next
month.
J
J
P
R
Time,
I'm
here
with
the
coastal,
mississippi
mardi
gras
museum,
but
before
we
start
mr
steve
theobo
who's
our
treasurer,
we
also
have
some
other
anna
harris
is
here.
Patrick
chubb
is
here
and
bill
raymond
that
serves
with
us.
R
I
would
first
of
all
like
to
say
thank
you,
for
you
know
I
get
emotional,
I'm
sorry!
I
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
your
support.
You
know
I
go
back
stephen.
I
will
talk
and
I
go
back
to
the
gansel
house,
magnolia
hotel
and
now
we're
downtown
we're
downtown
in
dumashi.
R
So
we're
just
really
excited
about
that.
R
Experience
you're
correct.
Thank
you.
I
we're
here
to
ask
for
an
increase
right
now
we
get
from
you
all.
We
get
help
me
out
steve
two
thousand
dollars,
four
thousand
four
thousand
dollars
a
month,
which
is
go
ahead.
Forty
eight.
R
Year
and
we're
requesting
additional
two
thousand
dollars
a
month
to
six
thousand,
be
seventy
two
000
a
year
and
the
reason
why
we're
asking
that
and
steve
has
expenditures
for
the
last
three
years.
R
As
you
all
know,
we
spent
a
lot
of
money
at
the
magnolia
hotel.
We
were
able
to
say
some
of
that
stuff
and
bring
it
over.
When
you
you
sow
the
magnolia,
we
were
able
to
use
some
of
the
the
pictures
and
the
and
the
display
cases,
but
over
a
period
of
time
we
are
our
cash
value,
we're
running
out
of
money.
We
are
doing
beginning
to
do
some
fundraisers.
R
H
Museum
had
never
really
been
in
the
finance
end
of
operating
a
museum
before
howard
avenue
the
city
of
biloxi,
the
magnolia
hotel.
There
was
no
rent,
there
was
no
utilities,
there
was
no
insurance.
We
were
grateful.
We
curated
with
bill's
help
we
curated
the
museum
with
artifacts
and
made
sure
it
was
beautiful.
H
We've
moved
found
a
spot
on
howard
avenue
now
the
full
budget
of
the
acceptable
support.
We
get,
of
course,
but
the
full
budget,
all
the
revenues
and
expenses
are
there
on
the
mardi
gras
museum
and
we
really
weren't
sure
how
that
was
going
to
turn
out
when
we
entered
into
the
agreement
to
open
the
mardi
gras
museum
on
howard
avenue,
and
if
you
haven't
seen
it
it's
gorgeous,
it
came
out
better
than
we
thought
it
would,
but
we're
very
pleased
with
that.
H
H
And
what
I've
got
is
a
finance
report
where
you
can
see
the
details
of
the
revenues
and
expenses,
I'm
going
to
email
it
to
you,
I'm
not
going
to
hand
it
out
today,
but
the
finance
report.
It
compares
those
years,
19,
20,
21
and
22.
So
we
can
see
what's
happening
and
we've
got
salaries.
We've
got
rent
we've
got
utilities.
We've
got
all
of
the
aspects
of
running
a
business
that
come
out
of
our
budget
insurance.
H
Your
assistance
is
4
000
a
month
gulf
coast,
carnival
association
assists
with
700
a
month
and
the
rest.
We
can
get
some
grants
or
donations
or
the
visitor
fees
when
they
come
in
the
door.
So
you'll
be
able
to
see
all
those
funds
on
this
spreadsheet
and
you
can
see
that
for
the
last
two
years
we've
spent
about
twenty
four
thousand
twenty
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
cash
each
year
of
our
reserve
funds.
J
I'm
getting
all
excited.
I
got
to
turn
my
michael
roughly
an
estimate
steve
with
the
revenue
apparently
is
not
meeting
your
expenses.
Would
that
be
a
fair
assessment.
J
H
The
break-even
base,
then
we
could
proceed
to
try
to
grow
the
revenues
through
tourism,
visitor
fees
and
sales.
J
Right
and
at
the
old
magnolia
museum
before
the
before
the
city
sold
it
for
a
commercial
enterprise,
you
had
to
find
a
space.
You
had
to
rent
a
space.
J
You
carried
some
reserves
with
you
when
you
moved
over,
but
you're
starting
to
go
to
those
reserves,
go
through
those
reserves
and
that's
kind
of
put
you
in
the
position,
like
you
said,
with
no
experience
in
having
done
this
before
the
museum.
That
is
because
the
city
really
handled
all
that
up
did
all
that
stuff
so
boom,
it's
all
dumped
on
you
at
the
new
location.
So,
after
a
few
years
of
operating
now,
you
see
basically
where
you
are
and
what
what
it
takes.
Thank
you.
E
H
B
B
So
you
have
the
oil,
keep.
You
got
cpu
museum
and
we
fought
it's
48
000
for
each
one
of
them,
so
I
said
it
was
originally
60
would
be
a
twelve
thousand
dollar
increase,
that's
what
they
were
originally
before.
We
cut
them,
so
I
would
just
set
to
for
this
year,
just
go
back
to
sixty
thousand
for
each
one
of
them,
because
you
have
to
increase
all
three
of
them.
Can't
do
one
and,
let's
see
how
it
works
out
with
the
twelve
thousand
dollar
increase.
A
J
So
if
I
understand
you
correctly
mayor
the
the
burden
of
the
city
holden
after
mardi
gras,
maintaining
that
the
the
biloxi
museum
in
the
old
magnolia
was
basically
running
the
city
80
000
a
year
right
and
and
now
with
the
management
agreement
at
48,
000
they're
not
making
ends
meet
basically
they're
asking
for
an
increase
to
72
000,
which
would
still
be
less
than
what
the
city's
burden
was
back
in
the
day
three
years
ago.
J
N
B
You
can't
increase
one
of
the
increases
out
to
two:
that's
why
I
suggested
half
and
see
how
it
works
out
for
a
year.
That's
just
my
suggestion,
and
so,
but
you
gotta
increase,
but
all
of
them.
You
can't
just
they'll,
be
right
back
here
on
their
24
000
too.
So
that's
another
48
thousand!
You
got
to
come
up
with.
C
So
again,
this
is
budget
discussions
mayor
if
you
take
under
consideration
somewhere
between
60
and
72,
and
let's
see
how
that
all
works
out
in
the
final
wash.
Thank
you
thank.
C
K
I
think
each
year,
the
flight,
this
fifteen
thousand
dollars
for
the
soil
conservation,
isn't
that
something
that
we
pretty
much
cut
every
year.
B
K
B
K
That's
why
they
dropped
it
last
year,
okay
and
then
the
other
thing
is.
I
would
we
discussed
this
last
year
after
we
had
passed
the
budget,
but
I
would
like
to
see
us
give
something
to
the
tunnels
to
tower
foundation.
They
just
to
remind
anyone
who
who
isn't
aware
they
their
base.
K
They
base
the
operation
at
the
local
operation
out
of
biloxi
and
every
year
they
have
the
the
tunnel
to
tower
run
and
stair
climb,
and
if
there's
someone
in
the
line
of
duty
who
who
passes
away
or
something
they
try
to
pay
off
their
mortgage
and
and
help
those
families,
I
know
that
they
they
helped
with
the
mckeithan
family,
the
lock
firefighter
who
passed
away
last
year,
they
paid
his
mortgage
off
in
pascagoula.
K
So
I'd
like
to
see
us
put
something
in
there,
2500
5000
5000
to
to
help
that,
and
they
also
bring
a
very,
very
large
group
into
town
for
a
couple
of
days.
For
that
event,
so
I.
K
I'm
fine
with
that,
but
I
would
like
to
see
us.
I
think
it's
a
great
cause
and
the
5
000
is
minimal
compared
to
what
they
bring
into
the
city.
For
that
event,.
C
B
C
E
B
B
A
The
only
changing
fee
is
is
what
you're
saying,
but
it's
what
you're
saying:
if
management
fee
was
48
000
follow
them,
but
the
whole
expense
exposure
in
in
cost
situation
needs
to
be
allowed
and
I'll
look
at
all
of
them
to
see.
If
that's
you
know,
in
line
with
what
we're
sending
now,
what
we're
committed
now
to
where
we
need
to
be
I'll.
Look
at
that
and
import
the
next
go-around
and.
B
G
B
C
You
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
here
who
gave
us
some
feedback
today
in
this
workshop
for
the
budget.
Thank
the
council
members,
as
always
for
your
well
thought
out
input
as
well.
We'll
continue
this
process
at
our
next
meeting,
we'll
just
determine
if
we're
gonna
have
that,
because
our
next
meeting
will
be
at
six
o'clock
meeting,
we
may
start
that
a
little
earlier
so
be
aware
of
some
details
that
may
come
out
all
right.
Are
we
a
mayor
just
asking?
A
I
would
like
to
recap
both
expenses
and
revenues
at
this
point
in
time
and
then
we're
working
previously
to
come
through
some.
You
know
balancing
of
in
and
out
dollars,
and
maybe
I
don't
know
whether
it
could
be
finished
for
the
first
week.
C
We'll
get
together
and
we'll
determine
that
at
this
time
the
chair
obtained
a
motion
to.
