These
two
associations
have
joined
with
the
cities
and
the
counties
in
the
federal
lawsuit
that
were
filed,
their
Co
plaintiffs
and
we'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we're
showing
you
today
and
why
it's
relevant
to
the
lawsuit
and
the
terrible,
devastating
impact
it's
had
on
both
of
these
industries,
as
well
as
the
city
at
large.
So.
F
If
we
can
just
go
to
the
first
slide,
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
very
quickly
give
you
a
little
overview.
The
bunny
carry
spill
way.
Of
course,
this
year
is
what
has
motivated
the
coalition
and
the
lawsuit
and
all
the
action,
but
these
problems
have
been
going
on
a
long
time.
The
Bonnet
Carre
you
see
on
the
left,
that's
an
original
picture
when
it's
being
built
in
the
early
1930s
after
the
great
flood
of
1927
on
the
right,
that's
opening
day,
2019
in
February.
F
That's
what
it
looks
like
when
they
opened
those
a
thing
up
and
that's
what
went
on
and
on
and
on
until
August,
as
you
know,
so,
with
the
next
slide.
Just
to
orient
you,
the
Bonnet
Carre
itself
is
a
circle
to
the
left
at
red
circle.
I
think
it's
red
right
there,
just
northwest
of
New
Orleans
and,
of
course,
the
whole
purpose
of
opening
it
up
is
when
allegedly
and
when
the
river
hits
20
feet
at
the
Carrollton
gauge
the
Carrollton
Avenue
gauge,
it's
got
to
be
open,
so
New
Orleans
doesn't
get
flooded.
F
That's
a
question
that
we
really
have
challenged.
Can
it
be
open
sooner
and
can
it
be
closed
sooner
and
can
they
open
them
organza,
spillway
sooner
so
that
it
never
gets
to
20
feet
that
a
lot
of
questions
at
the
lawsuit
hopefully
will
bring
up
next
slide?
So
I
just
want
to
show
you
this
is
the
Bonnet
Carre
spillway,
all
this
in
the
industry,
that's
next
to
it
with
oil
and
petrochemical
industries.
Well,
they
all
have
exposed
our
permits,
as
you
well
know,
leakages
things
like
that.
F
So
this
is
a
slide
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
on
your
old
screens
or
not
is
a
trend,
and
is
that
on
their
screens,
no
okay,
so
they
came
in
February.
The
first
opening
was
February
to
April.
This
is
this
is
the
day
they
find
it
closed
it.
Of
course,
when
they
closed
the
spillway,
that
doesn't
mean
all
the
bad
water
goes
away.
F
It
takes
a
long
time
to
get
dispersed,
but
the
shaded
area
is
from
the
spillway
now
that
to
the
western
side
you
know
it's
coming
down
the
Chhath
Alya
from
other
spillways
and
you
got
spillways
south
of
Bonnet
Carre
down
there
towards
the
mouth.
So
all
of
that
pollution
you
see
right.
There
is
mixing
together
and
being
diffused
into
the
Pontchartrain
and
Mississippi
Sound
and
the
sound
the
chandelier,
sound
and
mid
Breton
and
so
forth
next
slide.
So
then,
the
second
opening
began
on
May
night,
so
May
6th
up
at
the
top.
F
That's
the
way
it
was
still
from
the
February
see
how
it
still
had
anticipated
and
still
the
western
sound,
especially
and
then
to
hear
over
here
to
May
13th.
Just
a
few
days
later,
they
opened
it
on
May
9th,
and
you
can
see
it's
all
the
way
to
Mobile
Bay
and
it
stayed
that
way
and
got
worse
all
for
the
summer
and
the
algae
bloom
occurred.
Of
course,
when
got
warm
enough,
all
these
nutrients
as
phosphates
and
nitrates
and
pollution
is
this
pesticides
herbicides.
F
F
Of
course
by
then
the
fisheries
had
been
clobbered
next
slide,
so
the
list
of
the
river
and
tributaries
project
map-
that's
a
little
hard
to
see
on
this
screen
and
I
can
provide
a
better
copy
for
you,
but
this
is
part
of
our
what
we're
showing
the
quarry
new
years
since
the
Great
Flood
has
had
the
responsibility
for
managing
all
of
the
spillways
and
all
the
levees
and
everything
in
this
area.
This
goes
all
over
at
the
top.
F
Part
is
Illinois
and
of
course,
it
goes
all
the
way
down
the
of
Engineers
in
the
Mississippi
River
Commission,
which
has
no
Mississippi
representative
on
it.
The
state
of
Mississippi
representative
is
in
charge
of
this
based
on
federal
law.
Now
this
is
where
their
primary
in
charge.
But
what
you
don't
see
here
is
it's
31
states
and
two
Canadian
provinces
are
all
draining
into
this.
F
Coming
all
the
way
down
and
that
water
passes
by
the
Bonnet
Carre
so
whatever's
in
that
water
and
the
Bonnet
Carre
opens
from
31
states,
including
the
largest
pig
farms
in
the
world
which
are
in
Illinois,
which,
by
the
way,
are
owned
by
the
Chinese,
for
example,
from
the
clean
water
I
can
sow
the
manure
from
that
farm.
Those
forms,
like
any
other,
is
exempt
from
the
Clean.
Water
Act
doesn't
have
to
be
treated
and
it
comes
down
in
this
asipi
River
next
slide.
So
the
control
structure
is
here.
F
This
is
the
ones
that
were
most
immediately
concerned
about
on
the
left
side.
There
that's
again
a
flood
way.
The
spillway
itself
is
further
up,
but
of
course,
if
it
gets
open,
it
empties
into
the
Atchafalaya
Basin
all
the
way
down
to
Morgan
City,
so
something
wrong.
You
have
several
other
school
ways
already
in
existence.
Now
we
don't
have
the
Breton's
proposal
open
yet,
but
that's
it.
That's
another
issue
we'll
get
to
later
next
slide.
F
So
this
is
what
happened
to
all
the
oysters,
the
son
Bernard
Parish
and
the
western
Mississippi
Sound,
especially
the
aquaculture,
our
oysters,
which
they're
plenty
there.
This
is
the
young
this
with
the
young
ones,
the
ones
that
were
just
growing.
You
know
get
killed
even
south
of
Ship
Island,
the
aquaculture
farm
there
that
DMR
it
created
the
oysters
to
Alabama,
and
then
we
brought
those
back
and
those
that
want
that
third
survived,
but
that's
very
expensive,
also
the
lost
two-thirds
of
the
crop.
F
So
this
is
a
summary
that
Ronnie
knows
all
too
well
and
although
I'm
sure
aware,
as
a
result
of
the
Bonnet
Carre
openings
in
2019,
the
rhone,
the
DNR
did,
a
survey
allows
us
to
say
for
businesses
go
ten
fifteen
million
seven
and
sixty
four
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
nine
dollars
ten
to
fifteen
million.
That's
just
in
that
brief
period
of
time
and
as
you
can
see,
this
is
by
category
everybody
in
the
industry,
both
the
fishermen
themselves,
the
aquaculture,
people,
the
seafood,
restaurants
and
so
forth.
F
This
doesn't
count
hotels,
we're
gonna
talk
about
that
in
just
a
minute,
so
people
say
this
is
a
big
problem.
Imagine
if
this
starts
happening
every
year
or
every
other
year.
It's
it's
as
first
of
all,
it'll
kill
the
seafood
ecosystem
anyway,
so
it'd
be
totally
dead,
but
all
of
our
restaurants
and
that
processors
and
so
forth,
charter
boats,
bait
shops.
All
of
them
affected
next
slide.
That's
the
end!
Okay,
if
we
go
to
one
more,
which
I
think
is.
F
So
one
of
the
resolutions
we
have
on
here
and
I'm
going
to
come
back
to
them
briefly
and
answer
your
questions,
but
the
Department
of
Marine
Resources
has
been
studying
for
some
time
now,
a
lot
of
these
issues
and
let's
the
victim
Oliver
and
his
son
mark
and
some
of
the
fisherman
groups
and
Mississippi
State
PTA
scientists
there
and
others
dr.
Powell
Mikkel,
the
chief
scientist
at
DMR,
have
been
working
on
trying
to
deal
with
the
Pearl
River
War.
F
The
Pearl
River,
you
know,
is
the
East
Pearl
in
Westborough
empties,
into
the
Mississippi
Sound
and
to
the
lake
pontchartrain.
When
it
was
natural,
it
was
about
50/50,
fresh
water
and
when
I
say
fresh
water
I
want
to
put
a
footnote.
That
means
it
doesn't
have
it's
not
salt
water,
but
it
does
have
pollution.
So
it's
not
really
fresh
that
you
would
normally
call
so,
but
about
some.
Several
decades
ago
there
was
a
project
to
try
to
put
more
water
towards
the
western
pearl.
It
was
try
to
even
and
out
and
change
the
natural
flow.
F
Unfortunately,
it
didn't
work
correctly.
Gore,
videos
did
this
and
now
85
percent
of
the
water
coming
down.
The
Pearl
goes
to
the
lake
pontchartrain
15
percent
comes
to
Mississippi
Sound.
That
has
offset
the
ability,
the
natural
ability
that
you
had
before
that
was
occurring
of
having
the
freshwater
come
in
naturally
in
the
cycle
of
seasons,
and
it
combines
and
makes
the
salinity
level
perfect
for
oysters
and
everything
else
for
growing
seafood,
except
when
you
don't
have
that
amount
of
freshwater
coming
in
at
the
right
times.
F
Salinity
is
too
great
and
the
oyster
borås
come
in
and
it
kills
the
oyster
crop
plus
it
affects
everything
else,
so
they've
been
working
on
next
slide.
So
this
shows
you.
The
freshwater
inputs
are
primarily
from
the
program
well,
but
we
get
them
from
the
Jordan
River
in
the
Wolf
River.
Of
course,
Bonnie
carry
when
it's
open
next
slide.
F
Been
happening,
the
spatial
lost
of
our
reefs.
This
is
largely
due
to
the
lack
of
the
balance
between
salt
and
fresh
water
that
nature
intended
got
affected
by
that
change,
to
putting
85%
in
the
lake
pontchartrain,
and
it
affects
them
too.
By
the
way
the
Louisiana
fishermen
are
on
our
side
on
this,
because
they're
being
hurt
and
in
the
other
direction,
next
slide,
I'll
better
go
to
the
next
slide.
F
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
changes
to
it.
Next
slide,
you
see
up
there
where
it
crosses
over.
That
was
the
coolest
little
project
that
didn't
work
next
slide.
It's
doing.
It's
changing
out
of
control
next
slide,
so
developing
the
bypass.
Now
it's
going
to
be
even
worse.
Next
slide
next
slide,
so
I'll
show
you,
let's
say
it's
a
you
know,
that's
the
way
estuary
and
so
like
a
possible
inflection
will
read
and
so
forth.
F
So
identifying
the
the
water
quality,
what
is
ideal
for
the
habitat
sustainability
index
forces,
crab
Brown,
shrimp
and
fin
fish?
That's
what
the
DMR
is
working
on
now
to
Qatar
and
they
need
preparations
to
complete
those
studies,
because
once
we
get
those,
then
if
you
allow
those
HS
is
for
each
species
that
drive
the
project.
It
supports
the
reason
for
having
the
Corps
come
back
for
about
thirty
million
dollars
in
redirected.
So
we
get
fifty
fifty
East
borough
Westborough
freshwater
next
slide.
F
That's
it!
Okay,
we're
gonna
turn
it
off
now.
So
one
of
those
missions
in
front
of
you
is
simply
to
endorse
and
encourage
the
Department
of
Marine
Resources
to
go
forward
with
this
study,
which
we
think
will
prove
that
the
30
million
should
be
spent
on
redirecting
it'll,
be
close
to
I-10
weather
redirection
would
occur
to
get
the
freshwater
back
in
balance
now,
I
must
say
if
we
don't
correct
the
Bonnet
Carre
spillway
landing.
This
won't
matter
what
we're
seeing
we're
going
to
get
that
corrected
in
this
will
matter.
F
So
that's
one
of
the
grows
Aleutians
and
it's
pretty
much
an
endorsement
of
what
they're
doing
now,
but
we're
saying
would
really
like
to
encourage
the
state
and
the
federal
government
to
fund
these
studies
and
fund
this
program,
so
the
other
reservations,
actually
one
of
them
Mike,
was
going
to
ask
you
to
turn
them
home
from
the
calendar.
It's
for
I
they're,
not
quite
ready
to
talk
about
that
when
we
need
to
tweak
it
a
little
bit
so
before
I
one.
F
If
you
could
just
remember,
don't
table
well
because
we
were
rewrite
it
and
bring
it
back
to
you
if
you
don't
mind,
but
the
other
to
deal
with
Mississippi
sound
Protection
Act,
which
is
an
act
that
was
written,
is
recall.
The
core
mission
is
hard,
robert
wykel,
as
our
expert
environmental
attorney
and
all
the
city
attorneys
and
myself
or
assisting
we
help
rewrite
some
of
this.
F
So
for
G
is
innocence
and
Protection
Act.
What
does
it
do
in
a
nutshell?
It
would
ask
the
federal
government,
just
the
federal
Congress,
to
adopt
this
act,
to
provide
certain
protections
in
the
future,
from
the
Mississippi
Sound
being
home,
not
just
by
the
Bonnet
Carre,
but
any
other
diversions
or
any
other
man-made
intrusions.
F
So
we
can
have
some
input
about
whether
or
not
any
new
changes
will
affect
us,
and
if
so,
we
can
step
up,
and
so
we
want
you
to
prove
whoever
is
proposing
this,
that
you're
not
going
to
harm
the
Mississippi
Sound,
and
that
there's
no
there's
no
way
to
avoid
this
and
that
you
can't
mitigate
none
of
that's
happening
now,
not
even
with
the
Bonnet
Carre,
so
comes
consultation,
then
the
second
thing
in
the
act
is
to
require.
This
is
the
federal
law.
Now
that
creates
the
Mississippi
River
Commission.
F
That
rules,
the
Mississippi
River
and
the
Bonnet
Carre
that
federal
law
affords
a
commission-
and
it's
composed
motion
of
course,
engineers,
members
there's
a
few
other
technical
people,
engineers
and
so
forth,
but
there's
no
non
cool
person
resident
of
Mississippi
required
to
be
on
it
and
we
have
none.
So
this
would
require
nominations
by
the
governor
Mississippi
and
the
president
would
pick
from
those
nominations
and
have
one
for
Mississippi
and
one
from
Louisiana
in
addition
to
the
ones
they
have
now.
F
That's
just
a
seat
at
the
table
doesn't
mean
the
boats
changed,
but
at
least
would
have
somebody
there
on
our
side.
Speaking
for
us
and
if
they
consult
us
locally,
then
we're
also
all
be
speaking
for
ourselves.
The
third
thing
this
Act
does
is:
it
requires
the
Corps
to
be
a
fresh
environmental
impact
statement
in
two
years.
That's
very
quick
on
the
Bonnet
Carre.
The
monetary
impact
statement
was
done
in
1976.
A
lot
has
changed
since
then.
A
great
deal
has
happened
since
then,
and.
F
So
it
would
set
in
motion
the
studies
that
are
people
at
DMR
and
University
of
Southern
Mississippi
and
the
Gulf
Coast
research
lab
in
the
city
state
we're
very
knowledgeable
but
have
input
on
that
E
is
to
show
the
nation
that
there's
a
better
way
to
do
this
as
a
win-win
way
to
take
that
whole
31
state,
Mississippi,
River,
Basin
all
the
way
down
past
New
Orleans
and
into
the
Gulf,
and
we
work
it.
We
do
the
plumbing.
So
to
speak,
that's
a
very
expensive
thing,
but
it
can
be
done.
F
This
hasn't
been
looked
at
since
1976
and
even
then
they
just
looked
partially.
They
didn't
look
at
what
defect
in
Mississippi
was
going
to
be.
We
don't
even
have
a
discharge
cage
at
the
Wrigley's,
because
it's
going
to
Wrigley
get
ready
to
go
in
this
city
that
any
more
sure
what's
going
into
miss
they
just
measured
what's
going
at
counter
and
into
the
lake
pontchartrain,
which
of
course
no
one
wants
to
flood
New
Orleans.
F
We
wouldn't
nobody
wants
the
flood
in
the
walls
and
everybody
like
to
see
that
these
animals
restored,
but
there's
got
to
be
a
win-win
way.
You
do
those
things
without
destroying
the
Mississippi
Sound
and
our
way
of
life
here.
So
that's
what
this
act
does
it
ask?
The
Congress
has
said
all
that
in
motion,
and
it
also
says
Congress
paid
for
this
e
is
the
Corps
says
they
would
do
any
is
if
somebody
would
pay
for.
Well,
that's
a
fair
question
so
appropriate.
F
F
It
stopped
the
water,
they
stopped,
the
control
of
the
water
and
they
change
the
control
and
downstream
there's
a
whole
lot
of
effects
to
farmers
and
to
the
park
and
everything
else.
So
those
four
states
in
that
area
got
the
Grand
Canyon
Protection
Act,
to
basically
do
what
we're
talking
about
giving
a
seat
at
the
table
do
anywhere
else
and
show
that
any
changes
and
how
you
manage
these
things.
F
To
the
most
possible
harm
to
the
people
downstream,
so
then
the
fourth,
the
other
resolution
asked
you
to
endorse
and
encourage
our
Senators
and
Representatives
to
support
the
fisheries
disaster,
Reform
Act
bills
and
Ryan's
very
knowledgeable
about
those
in
essence,
the
fisheries
disaster
laws.
Now
they
don't
put
quickly
enough
and
it's
based
on
a
plan
I
think
the
fishermen
should
have
a
lot
of
more
input
into
that
plan
and
just
a
second
and
then,
of
course,
Linda
is
here
talk
about
the
impact
on
hotel-motel
in
a
lawsuit.
F
The
mayor
has
a
declaration,
though,
that
dress
for
Biloxi
on
the
month
of
August
the
2019,
our
sales
tax
dipped
by
a
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
dollars.
You
know
this
that's
one
month
that
translates
out
to
about
800,000
little
more
than
that
lost
by
the
state
in
sales
tax
for
that
one
month,
and
then
that's
about
a
little
over
two
million
dollars
in
gross
revenue
to
the
hotels,
motels,
restaurants
and
others
that
were
in
in
the
tourism.
This
is
just
in
Biloxi
for
one
month,
two
million
dollars
and
your
catches.
F
So
you
can
see
that
if
this
continues
and
gets
worse-
and
you
add-
you
know-
September
and
August
and
September,
etc,
and
yet
the
whole
Coast.
This
is
a
huge
economic
impact.
The
worst
part,
though,
now
it's
not
just
the
perception,
which
is
bad
enough,
that
everything
was
closed
down
here,
but
the
fear
of
people
scheduling
a
convention
next
year
in
the
year
after
one
of
these
conventions
are
scheduled
for
years
out.
You
know
and
I
know
we
all
are
familiar
with
the
whole
tourism
industry.
It's
a
part
of
our
lifeblood.
F
So
what's
why
we're
for
you
have
to
be
very
aggressive
in
speaking
up
now.
So
at
this
point,
I'd
love
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
or
as
Linda
or
a
Ryan,
to
speak
to
to
this
once.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
the
few
resolutions,
please
we'll
know
for
I
we're
working
with
doing
on
that.
We
need
to
rewrite
some
of
it.
So
I.
H
F
C
I
I
F
Great
questions,
okay,
so
we
would
be
if
we
get
the
seat
at
the
table
and
that's
two
seats
really
one
would
be
at
the
Mississippi
River
Commission
who
decides
when
things
get
opened
and
well
they
put
their
money
and
what
will
gets
dredged
win.
I
mean
the
end
of
the
Lower.
Mississippi
needs
to
be
dredged
now,
and
they
say
they
don't
have
the
money.
Well,
so
see
that
will
be
talking
me.
Somebody
from
Mississippi
would
be
talking
at
the
Mississippi
River
Commission,
but
the.
F
Supervisor,
presidents
and
their
lawyers,
the
Warren
school
in
Warren,
was
in
charge
now
in
this
area
before
this
law
was
said,
you've
got
to
talk
to
these
guys
and
know
what
happens.
Second,
part
of
your
question
is
a
hard
part,
but
if
I
say
well,
we
appreciate
your
input,
but
we're
gonna
do
it
anyway,
then
at
least
we
have
some
knowledge
before
ahead
of
time.
We
can
go
back
to
the
Congress.
F
F
F
J
Thank
You
council
members,
Madam
President
Ryan
Bradley
fifth-generation
commercial
fishermen
been
in
the
seafood
industry.
Quite
some
time,
I've
been
working
directly
with
the
fishing
communities
on
the
ground.
We've
been
up
in
Washington
several
times
this
year.
The
past
year
working
on
some
fishery
disaster
reform
legislation
in
Congress,
senator
wicker,
introduced
a
bill
called
the
fishery
fund
act
back
in
the
summer.
It's
Senate
bill,
23
46.
If
you
want
to
look
it
up,
it
has
passed
out
of
the
Senate
Commerce
Committee
with
strong
bipartisan
support.
J
A
companion
bill
has
been
introduced
in
the
house
by
congressman
Jared
Huffman,
co-sponsored
by
representative
Steven
Palazzo,
so
we're
looking
to
advance
that
fishery
fund
Act
through
Congress
this
year.
We
see
our
opening
this
year
to
get
some
things
done.
We'd
love
to
have
the
city's
support
for
that
reform
package
and
also
the
bill.
J
It
essentially
speeds
up
the
process
that
the
federal
government
has
to
respond
to
these
disasters.
This
isn't
the
first
time
that
we've
had
a
Bonnie
carré,
spillway
federal
fisheries
disaster
declared
the
last
one
that
we
had,
that
was
the
declared
disaster
was
2011,
we've
had
several
Bonnie
carry
open
and
since
then,
but
there's
the
2011
when
that
rose
to
the
level
that
had
enough
damages
to
justify
a
disaster
declaration.
J
What
we've
seen
in
that
disaster
was.
It
took
anywhere
from
five
to
six
years
for
the
federal
government
to
roll
out
the
relief
funds
to
the
state
and
then
the
state
you
know,
they're
still
spending
some
of
that
money
to
this
day.
So
a
very
long
process,
it's
been
very
damaging
for
our
fishing
communities,
not
to
receive
the
the
relief
we're
starting
to
see
a
lot
of
our
commercial
vessels
being
sold
off
and
accident,
our
local
harbors
and
marinas.
J
Other
things
that
it
does.
Is
it
caps
administrative
costs
for
federal
and
state
entities
that
are
handling
this
money,
we've
seen
before
upwards
of
30
percent
taken
by
the
state
just
for
administrative
cost,
and
we
think
we
can
do
a
little
better
on
that
for
this
bill.
This
these
bills
would
cap
that
there
is
some
discrepancy
between
the
Senate
bill
and
the
House
versions
of
the
the
disaster
reform
bill
and
the
biggest
key
key
note
that
I
would
mention
is
aquaculture?
Has
been
moved
out
of
the
house
version.
J
As
you
know,
we've
got
a
nice
burgeoning
aquaculture
industry
right
here
behind
Deer
Island,
so
we're
trying
to
reconcile
that
difference.
The
there
is
a
third
bill
that
was
sponsored
by
Senator
Cindy
hyde-smith
has
not
received
a
whole
lot
of
traction
in
the
Senate,
but
it's
called
the
commercial
fishing
and
aquaculture
Protection
Act,
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
any
of
the
concerns
with
aquaculture
that
we've
seen
in
senator
whicker's
bill
or
in
the
House
version.
We
can
rectify
that
in
Cindy
Hyde's
bill
and
get
that
pushed
along
to
protect
our
aquaculture.
K
I'm
listening
to
it
and
it's
good
that
we
got
a
seat
at
the
table,
but
you
know
who's
our
fighter
I
mean
it's
great:
to
have
a
seated
table
to
be
diplomatic
about
all
this
stuff
and
it's
great
we're
looking
at
it
from
a
cerebral
stand
standpoint,
but
somebody's
got
to
shake
the
bushes
up
there.
Who
is
that
our.
F
Senators
and
congressmen
must
shake
the
tree
and
the
fighters
are
in
this
room
and
your
lawyers
and
we're
in
court
now
and
we're
we're
standing
up
and
those
are
the
tools
we
have
available.
But
frankly,
this
is
a
national
problem
that
needs
a
national
solution.
Will
the
plan
of
it
we're
kind
of
at
the
end
of
the
garbage.
K
That's
great:
it's
just
listen
to
the
wwl
a
little
bit
and
I
hear
the
propaganda
on
not
on
this
side
of
the
river
on
that
side
of
the
river
saying
how
it's
necessary
and
it's
gonna
cure
cancer
and
create
all
these
islands
again
and
all
that
stuff
under
that
guys
and
I
can
see
through
it.
I
can
hear
through
it
when
I
hear
it
on
the
radio,
it's
propaganda,
whoever
got
those
contracts
to
do
the
dredging
or
diversion
or
or
whatever.
That's
that's
the
interest.
That's
the
special
interest,
it's
clear
to
me.
F
F
L
Hotel
&
lodging
association,
and
they
asked
me
to
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
things
regarding
the
economics
of
tourism
and
how
how
it
was
affected
by
the
opening
of
the
spillway
we
like
most
every
other
state
and
in
fact,
nation.
Internationally,
we
use
Smith
Travel
Research
you'll,
see
the
letters
STR
Smith
Travel
Research.
There
are
the
gold
standard
of
measurement
of
how
you're
doing
in
the
hotel
industry.
They
do
they
measure
Hotel
metrics
and
they
use
things
like
occupancy
ADR,
which
is
average
daily
rate
and
Rev
par,
which
is
revenue
per
available
room.
L
We
used
the
preferred
metric
for
it,
for
measuring
things
is
Rev
par
because
it
takes
into
effect
the
occupancy
and
ADR,
and
so
just
to
give
you
an
idea
in
May
of
2019
the
before
we
started
feeling
the
effects
of
the
opening
the
economic
effects.
We
were
positioned
for
a
season
and
year
of
significant
growth,
exhibiting
a
rev
par
in
that
month
of
nine
point.
Nine
percent
year-over-year
can
pay
compared
to
the
same
period
of
time
that
the
previous
year
that
was
destined
to
keep
climbing
in
June.
L
After
when
we
began
to
experience
the
effects
of
the
opening
of
the
Bonnet
Carre,
we
had
a
negative
5%
loss
in
Rev
car,
followed
by
minus
nine
point.
One
percent
minus
eleven
point.
Eight
percent
and
18.6%
in
July
and
August
some
weeks
reached
a
low
of
minus
twenty
six
percent
and,
as
Kenny
pointed
out
to
us,
that
was
just
if
you
start
with
a
flat
surface
that
does
not.
That
does
not
take
into
consideration
the
growth
factor,
so
the
numbers
are
much
more
significant
than
that.
K
Bit
so
Linda,
let
me
speak
first
hand
and
I'll,
let
you
continue
with
Linda
Sam.
We
went
up
and
spoke
to
a
special
Senate
panel,
the
mayor
and
captain
Skye
Mehta
and
several
others
and
the
point
they
were
looking
at
these
numbers
and
saying:
okay,
you
had
a
drop
of
this
versus
last
year
we
were
headed
to
a
record
year.
This
year
record
double-digit
growth.
The
whole
country
was
the
experience
in
double-digit
growth,
the
stock
market's
going
crazy.
K
We
were
all
excited
and
giddy
about
it
in
tourism
industry,
so
those
numbers
that
they
look
at
year-over-year,
that
drop
when
Linda
is
just
saying
it's
much
much
much
greater
than
just
year-over-year
because
of
what
we
would
have
experienced
all
our
projections,
everything
our
labor
calculations,
we
hired
people
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
It
just
collapsed
on
top
of
itself
number
one
month,
July
on
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast,
and
that
was
a
not
a
triplet.
Now,
in
fact,
that
was
an
avalanche
effect
to
everything
else.
Anyway,.
L
L
Instead,
they
have
a
record
number,
has
of
operations,
have
even
either
closed
or
have
started,
borrowing
money
just
to
just
to
make
payroll
or
just
to
keep
their
lights
on,
and
that
shouldn't
have
happened.
If
we
were
going
to
experience
the
growth
that
was,
that
was
already
happening
and
it
also
transyl's
down
when
tourism
and
hotel
businesses
suffer.
The
revenue
declines
translates
to
corresponding
deficits
in
sales,
tax
revenue,
the
7%
general
sales
tax
and
the
5%
room
tax
in
Harrison
County.
L
Let
me
tell
you
how
that
affects
everybody
in
this
room,
everybody
in
Harrison
County,
the
5%
room
tax,
is
distributed
as
follows.
Two
point:
two:
five
percent
goes
to
fund
the
Mississippi
Gulf
Coast
Regional,
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau
doing
business
as
coastal
Mississippi.
That's
the
advertising
arm
of
the
coast
and
when,
when
they
don't
receive
the
money
that
they
budgeted,
they
they
have
to
cut
projects.
L
They
have
to
cut
advertising
and
marketing
that
affects
the
businesses
for
even
further
and
then
2.75
of
that
five
percent
goes
to
the
Harrison
County
Board
of
Supervisors
to
repay
the
seventy
million
dollar
debt
of
the
most
recent
expansion
of
the
Convention
Center,
enabling
legislation
fires
that
if
there
is
a
shortfall
and
that
that
room
tax
that
2.75
is
insufficient
to
pay
for
the
debt,
then
it
falls
upon
that
these
are
geo
bonds
and
that
falls
upon
the
taxpayers
of
Harrison
County.
So
it
really
starts
affecting
everyone
and
and
there's
even
more.
L
F
F
If
you
endorsed
these
and
asked
the
Congress
I
mean
it's
really
important,
that
the
general
public
and
all
of
our
brothers
and
sisters
and
other
businesses,
whether
in
truism
or
not,
we're
to
get
on
board
with
this
fight
and
make
it
clear
to
Jackson
and
especially
to
Washington
that
we're
all
in
this
our
way
of
life,
a
whole
economy
is
impacted,
and
if
this
goes
on,
it's
catastrophic
so,
for
instance,
the
people
in
this
lawsuit
right
now
are
Biloxi.
D'iberville
have
some
County
Board
of
Supervisors
pasturage
and
Hancock
County
Board
of
Supervisors
Waveland
Diamondhead.
F
There
is
some
inclination
that
there's
some
feeling
among
other
quarters
that
maybe
somebody
else
who
take
care
of
this
and
save
it
for
us.
We
want
to
partner
with
anybody
else
wants
to
help
us,
but
really
we've
got
to
assert
ourselves
in
this
issue
and
when
I
say
us,
I
don't
mean
just
the
government's
I
mean
the
people
need
to
be
heard
and
make
sure
that
our
representatives
and
senators
and
governors
and
everybody
else
will
eyes.
This
is
a
fight
that
is
monumental
and
it's
generations
to
come
will
be
affected.
We
can't
wait.
F
We
need
to
speak
up
for
ourselves
every
association
harder,
hopefully
going
to
endorse
this
and
and
the
other
cities
and
counties
we
invite
to
join
us
in
this
in
this
lawsuit.
But
that's
my
appeal
to
you.
If
you
want
to,
if
we
want
to
do
something
to
fight
we've
got
it,
there's
nothing
more
important
in
the
political
scheme
than
the
average
voter
contacting
their
representatives
and
saying
I'm
mad
as
hell
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
it
anymore
to.
M
N
Have
a
real,
quick
question:
I
read
somewhere
and
I,
can't
I
can't
find
it,
but
I
think
it
was
on
Facebook
today,
where
Army
Corps
had
started
phase
two
something
on
the
Mississippi
River,
because
the
levels
had
reached
a
certain
level.
Does
that
affect
us
in
any
way,
I
think
they
said
like
phase
to
fight
procedures
or
something
right.
F
Does
that
affect
us?
Absolutely
it's!
What
happens
is
under
that
tributaries
act?
They
have
control
what
they
call
the
flood
fight.
That
trigger
is
when
it
hits
a
certain
level
like
17
feet
at
certain
places,
then
they're
supposed
to
ramp
it
up
it's
it's
kind
of
like
defense,
ramping
up,
you
know
so
yeah.
What
it
means
is,
there's
a
threat.
F
E
All
that
good
news,
I
will
have
to
say.
Well,
we
encouraged
you
know
if
we
go
by
and
do
nothing
and
say
nothing
and
have
another
plan
and
it
happens
again.
It's
liable
to
happen
again
and
not
only
we
plan,
you
know
for
what's
gonna
happen
in
2020,
we've
already
paid
for
what's
happened
in
2019,
but
just
like
BP
and
the
fish
industry
perception
is
reality
and
and
I'm
not
going
to
you
know
it
wouldn't
be
right
for
us.
E
They
said
I
can
do
nothing,
even
though
there
may
be
other
partners
that
will
join
the
state
and
whomever
you
know
and
the
the
other
partners
from
Louisiana.
But
for
me
we
can't
sit
back
and
do
nothing.
This
is
something
this
is
what
we
need
to
do
so
I
think
the
offer
for
participating
at
that.
You
know
encourage
of
your
consideration
in
these
issues,
and
so
that's
my
thoughts.
Thank
you.
I
Also,
each
oyster
filters,
13
gallons
of
water,
pretty
quick
voices
out
there
in
the
Gulf
you
kind
of
pour
final
water.
Of
course
that's
why
it
tastes
so
good
and
taking
the
salt.
Another
thing
is
I.
Wasn't
that's
why
horses
and
Lexie
taste
much
better
than
our
system
where,
in
the
fresh
water
that
Robert,
13
gallons.
E
O
O
Very
simple
one:
a
rainfall
of
four
inches
in
a
24
hour
period
and
the
land
that
at
first,
if
the
wash
out
the
flushing,
the
wash
out
the
drains
if
that
causes
damage
and
if
it
causes
damage
in
a
young
land
that
is
under
management
by
you
and
if
it
happens
on
a
private
land
and
in
in
the
city,
the
you
can
partner
with
the
private
person
to
qualify
for
the
funds
and
the
best
part
of
it
is
this.
The
federal
government
will
pay
75
percent
of
the
cost
of
getting
this
done.
O
So
if
you
have
a
hundred
eight
hundred
thousand
dollar
project,
you
put
up
two
thousand
and
twenty
two
hundred
thousand
and
they
do
the
rest.
These
gentlemen,
here
Gregg
crochet
and
Tyree
Harrington
Gregg's
one
of
the
commissioners
Tyree,
is
the
area
conservationist
for
Harrison
County
and
for
Stone
County
and
questions
to
them.
Please.
C
O
O
P
Mercy
water
share
program
is
a
federal
program.
It
is
not
a
federal
allocation
booing
when
that
storm
event
that
he
was
talking
about
when
it
occurs.
Your
constituents
are
not
your
constituent.
You,
as
a
as
a
city
or
municipality,
can
make
application
to
the
Natural
Resource
Conservation
Service
NRCS,
and
what
we
do
is
we
come
out
and
look
at
the
projects
and
if
they
are
deemed
worthy
of
us
or
meet
our
requirements,
then
we'll
put
them
on
the
books
to
be
awarded
contract.
P
P
We
look
at
doing
it's
for
infrastructure,
telephone
lines,
that
type
stuff
pipelines
sewage
lines,
but
they
got
to
be
your
own
areas
that
y'all
maintain.
If
it's
just
I
feel
that
y'all
haven't
had
any
maintenance
with
it,
then
it
does
not
qualify.
So
it
has
to
help
y'all
have
to
have
been
managing
that
hoe
over
the
course
of
time.
P
Million
and
one
reason
why
we
come
before
y'all,
because
y'all
have
had
some
projects
on
the
books
and
we've
sent
letters
and
him
had
any
response
on
it,
so
those
projects
are
now
no
longer
viable.
So
when
those
events
happened,
y'all
can
apply
for
and
then
see
if
we
can
get
them
back
on
the
books.
Now
some
things
are
small
and
don't
really
qualify
core.
It
is
a
minimum,
but
not
a
maximum.
So
we
are
grouping
together.
So
you
can
meet
that
threshold
and
get.
B
K
Have
a
comment:
so
if
there's
a
subdivision
and
an
adjoining
subdivision
and
there's
an
area
that
is
not
draining
well
and
we
have
this
torrential
rain
that
comes
even
if
we
knew
of
it
higher.
If
this
comes
and
we
got
a,
we
can
submit
an
application
within
30
days,
give
you
supporting
documentation
and
that
could
qualify.
That.
K
P
This
time
keep
your
maintenance
on
keep
your
maintenance
I'm,
not
saying
gonna,
do
the
work
but
keep
at
least
maintain
so
sort
of
mediate,
some
flooding
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
then
those
prices
and
get
put
on,
and
it's
debris,
removal
type
stuff
as
well
as
structural
type
stuff.
One
example
that
you
may
want
to
see
is
red
and
D'iberville.
We'll
call
the
witch
witch
site.
P
G
Associated
I'm,
the
Commissioner
on
the
soul
of
water
board
for
Harrison,
County
and
Tyree
actually
works
for
NRCS,
which
is
a
federal.
The
salt
and
water
board
is
a
state
agency,
but
it's
funded
by
the
cities.
In
the
county.
There
is
82
counties
in
the
state
of
Mississippi,
there's
82
soil
and
water
conservation
districts
within
the
state,
we're
mister
Thad
and
myself
for
volunteers.
We
do
have
a
paid
person
that
works
for
us.
She
works
with
Tyree
in
that
office.
G
The
federal
government
USDA
in
the
soil
of
water
board
worked
very
well
with
each
other
here
in
the
state
of
Mississippi
were
actually
ranked
third
in
the
nation,
as
far
as
getting
federal
funds
into
the
state
through
NRCS
for
conservation
practices.
So
just
kind
of
give
you
an
example.
He
will
take
care
of
things
like
he
just
told
you
about,
but
then
the
soil
and
water
board
ourselves.
We
work
through
a
lot
of
Education
stuff.
We
have
13
city
urban
gardens
that
we
have
contributed
to
here
in
Biloxi.
We
have
scholarship
funds
for
college-age
students.
G
We
do
the
pathways
to
possibilities
to
expose
students
to
agriculture
careers.
We
also
do
a
lot
of
stuff
with
the
counties
we
do
the
tree
giveaway
every
year
and
we
do
several
other
things
like
that
too.
So
it's
kind
of
a
it
gets
a
little
complicated
when
you
put
it
because
there's
actually
another
group,
that's
involved
with
us
to
very
tightly
in
the
state.
So
we
would
like
to
help
you
if
we
could-
and
we
just
kind
of
felt,
like
maybe
y'all,
didn't
quite
understand
who
we
were
or
what
we
did.
G
B
E
B
S
Also,
what
it's
done
to
the
locals
quality
of
life
think
about
local
people
wanting
to
go
to
the
beach
and
they
don't
go.
What
is
that
effect
effects
to
the
chicken
place?
The
poor
boy
place
the
beer,
the
so
the
sodas
and
sales
tax,
so
it
affects
everything
we
shouldn't
overlook
that
we
keep
talking
about
the
tourism.
It
affects
the
quality
of
life
that
we
have.
S
S
It's
like
two
BP
oil
spill
without
an
offer
to
stay,
didn't
care,
nothing
about
us
in
Tobi's
time
to
get
the
money
and
then
they
all
get
in
line,
and
they
all
want
their
piece.
You
know
what
we
need
to
get
everybody
together
and
we
need
to
fight
this
as
one
they
talk
about
coasts,
one
coast,
one
my,
but
this
is
time
to
be
coast.
S
One
now,
when
we're
going
to
get
together
new,
that's
all
I'm,
challenging
every
organization,
the
Kiwanis,
the
rotaries,
the
Lions,
the
women's
clubs
that
don't
matter
I'm
challenging
each
and
every
one
of
y'all
to
adopt
this.
We
got
it.
We
got
to
do
something.
We
need
a
seat
on
that
board,
something
terrible.
S
We
not
that
mass
peaceful
in
between
Alabama
and
Louisiana
that
happened
during
Katrina.
We
always
get
crapped
on
and
I'm
tired
of
it
as
you
can
tell,
but
it's
if
we
don't
take
a
force
and
take
a
force
as
one
and
challenge
these
other
cities
and
do
it
to
where
our
legislators,
where
do
they
stand
way
to
our
Coast
legislators,
stand
on
this?
Have
any
of
y'all
heard
him
speak
out.
You
heard
anything
in
Jackson.
S
No,
we
got
it.
We
got
to
fight
this
together.
Yeah
we
can
we've
taken
the
lead
and
Gerald
did
an
outstanding
job,
but
we
need
to
challenge
everybody
and
every,
and
if
you
want
me
to
I'll,
go
to
every
council
meeting
on
this
Coast
and
speak
up
and
tell
them
just
like
it
is
because
I
don't
know
nothing.
But
you
know
what
really
gets
me
when
I
was
a
kid
sometimes
I
think
I
still
am
I
grew
up
on
Keller
and
Howard,
and
it
was
a
peer
to
foot
of
Howard.
S
Keller
Avenue
shall
have
a
new
peer
and
about
maybe
three
thirty
four
o'clock
in
the
springtime,
and
especially
in
the
summer,
would
walk
down
to
that
peer,
3:30,
4
o'clock
and
evening
and
about
an
hour
and
a
half
to
two
hours
time.
You'd
have
three
dozen
crabs
and
you
know
what
else
she
could
do.
You
can
see
the
bottom.
The
water
was
crystal
clear.
S
What
happened?
What
happened
before
this
body
carries
spillway?
How
did
all
this
come
about?
Does
anybody
ever
ask
that
question
I
mean
that
was
for
natural?
What
happened?
Did
man
create
this
always
the
Creator
to
protect
one
area
and
the
heck
with
the
other
areas?
We
don't
want
nobody
to
flood,
we
don't
want
new,
always
the
flood.
We
want
them
homes
and
up
and
north
part
of
Mississippi
to
be
flood
free,
but
you
know
it
baffles.
Me.
S
They've
been
getting
flooded
and
flooded
and
flooded,
but
let
me
go
and
try
and
build
a
house
down
here
and
I
got
to
go.
22
23
feet
an
hour:
do
they
have
to
do
it?
We
need
a
seat
man.
We
need
to
have
our
voice
heard
and
we
need
to
bang
on
it
on
the
table
in
the
podium
and
get
everybody
on
this
Gulf
Coast
together,
not
just
when
the
money
shows
up.
S
I
B
D
T
D
T
Jennifer
Voss
Brenda
emailed
us
this
morning
and
again
she
apologized
for
being
out
sick
today.
She
wanted
to
make
note
that
base
course
asphalt.
The
first
layer
of
asphalt
is
down
on
every
street,
with
the
exception
very
small
particle
Avis,
just
north
of
Percy,
and
that
road
the
asphalt
should
be
placed
by
the
end
of
this
week.
If
weather
cooperates,
we
do
have
rain
coming
in
scheduled
for
tomorrow.
Sidewalks
are
being
finished
up
on
Forest
Avenue
today,
weather
permitting
tomorrow.
That
crews
will
move
to
Cuevas
south
of
division
to
install
the
driveways.
T
The
street
big
Cuevas
south
of
division
does
not
get
any
sidewalks.
Sidewalks
and
roadways
are
being
installed
on
manaaki
south
of
division.
They
should
complete
those
sidewalks
with
the
next
couple
of
weeks
after
sidewalks
and
vernacular
complete
their
retaining
walls
on
several
properties
that
need
to
be
installed
and
that's
a
problem
that
we
have
actually
throughout
all
of
our
areas.
T
The
render
continues
work
on
the
final
utilities
of
project,
which
is
a
sewer
lift
station
on
Cavett,
just
west
of
that
of
rebellious
streak.
Balian
street
this
work
is
offered
will
not
affect
any
residents
weather
permitting.
The
final
course
of
asphalt
will
be
installed
on
Bradford
elder
Cruces
Main
Street,
which
it
was
yesterday
and
division
from
laid
a
cog
that
changing.
T
T
All
right,
can
you
hear
me:
okay,
all
right,
much,
better,
so
weather
permitting
service
course
on
of
asphalt
on
those
roads,
unmentioned,
bradford
elder
cruises,
main
street
was
done
yesterday
and
then
division
street
from
lead
covet.
Those
streets
will
be
followed
by
a
yard
and
glider
rain,
or
strawberry
and
percy.
She
didn't
give
a
timeframe
for
that.
One
of
the
reasons
where
it's
taken
so
long
for
the
contractor
oscar
random
to
put
down
the
final
layer
of
asphalt
is
everywhere.
We
have
pipe
underground,
sewer
and
drainage
structure
smaller
than
42
inches
in
size.
T
The
contractor
has
a
video
all
those.
Then
they
have
to
submit
the
videos
to
us
they're
supposed
to
review
them
first
for
any
repairs
that
need
to
be
done,
which
doesn't
always
happen
and
they
tend
to
just
send
them
to
us.
We
look
through
them,
well
identify
where
they
have
repairs.
They
have
to
go
back
and
do
all
those
repairs
and
we
have
to
wait
30
days
and
they
have
to
review,
submit
them
back
to
us
make
sure
those
repairs
held.
T
They
have
to
get
all
the
underground
pipes
repaired
before
we
want
them
to
put
down
that
final
layer
of
asphalt
or
else
what
will
happen
is
they'll,
get
all
the
surface
asphalt
down
and
we'll
come
back
and
tell
them.
Well,
you've
got
all
these
repairs
make
to
these
pipes.
We
can't
have
these
pipes
would
pay
for
new
pipes
and
non
leaking
joints.
They'll
end
up
having
to
cut
into
that
brand-new
asphalt.
You
know
just
leave
patches
all
throughout
the
road
won't
be
the
integrity
won't
be
as
good.
T
It
seems
like
the
very
focus
on
production
work
with
sidewalks
and
driveways,
but
not
the
final
tie
ends
and
not
back
film.
Behind
the
curbs
now
they
are
getting
to
it
as
they
try
to
close
out
areas,
starting
with
sxs
and
in
the
far
east
and
then
you're
in
for
now
they're
working
waiting,
their
way
down
towards
jeer
and
5:00,
but
as
far
as
seeing
a
amassing
or
ramp
up
of
effort
towards
the
end.
T
We
had
discussed
that
with
the
contractor,
and
you
know
they
did
not
seem
that
they
wanted
to
go
down
that
path
and
we
provided
them.
How
much
and
liquidated
damages
that
we're
holding
back
from
were
over
two
point:
1
million
dollars
that
for
work,
they've
done,
but
we're
not
reimbursing
them
for
it
or
we're
holding
back
2.1
million
in
payments
because
they
haven't,
you
know,
got
the
job
done
in
a
manner
that
we
see
fit
now
they
have
their
viewpoint,
we'll
settle
it
in
court,
but
you
know
it.
T
We
get
into
a
contract
issue
and
liability
issues
and
warranty
issues
we
may
and
administration
I
think
yourself
have
discussed
bring
onto
other
contractors
outside
of
boss
Grenda
to
come
into
those
areas.
I
mean
that's
always
an
option,
but
it
carries
its
own
risk.
So
it's
not
a
it's.
Not
a
good
answer,
it's
not
the
answer
you
want
to
hear,
but
that's
the
way
it
is
as
of
right
now
and
I'm
open
to
doing
whatever
administration
Council
wants
to
do.
It's.
D
Because
zero
is
their
schedule
that
you
have
for
the
videos
you
mentioned
this
SS
XS
SN,
div,
div,
1,
GRE
and
5
GRS
for
GRE
m3
GRE
in
for
Joe,
and
do
we
have
a
schedule
of
all
the
areas
that
have
been
video
and
a
schedule
of
when
they're
gonna,
a
protection
of
when
they're
gonna
finish?
Because
right
now,
I
think
I've
asked
that
back
in
August,
September,
October,
November
and
I
still
haven't
got
yeah.
We.
T
And
additionally,
there
are
a
lot
of
other
tests
that
they
have
not
complete
and
they're
supposed
to
it's,
not
our
job
to
tell
them
to
do
their
job.
But
that's
what
we're
facing
here
at
the
end
is
you've
got
videos
missing.
You
know
you
submit
videos
and
if
they're,
black
or
they're,
you
know
the
video
is
too
grainy
or
if
there's
an
issue
they're
supposed
to
not
be
sending
those
to
us
without
having
cleared
it
up.
D
Yeah
again,
I
have
asked
for
a
list
of
the
inspections
and
projections,
inspection
dates
and,
if
we're
paying
we're
supposed
to
get,
you
know
a
projection,
weird
one
paying
and
for
a
contractor
to
do
the
work
and
it's
not
the
other
way
around.
They
pay
them.
So
they
can
work
for
us
the
way
they
want
to
work,
and
that
just
doesn't
seem
right,
and
you
know
at
some
point:
we're
gonna
have
to
start
looking
at
other
means
of
taking
care
of
this
we'll
pass
a
year
passed,
inspection
day
and
I'll.
D
Look
at
areas
like
Hopkins
when
people
get
off
the
I
won
t
and
Express
and
they
go
down
on
Hopkins
and
it
looks
good,
but
when
they
leave
our
city
coming
down,
boring
Bond
Street,
you
know
it's
a
mess
and
I
haven't
been
touched.
The
sidewalks
haven't
been
touched
in
six
months,
if
not
more
and
that's
an
ugly
sight,
and
the
last
thing
you
want
someone
to
do
is
to
leave
your
house
or
your
city
looking
bad.
D
D
T
So
Magnolia
Street
was
ordered
over
the
holidays
because
of
the
weather
conditions,
because
it
was
a
road
that
hadn't
been
received.
Asphalt
pavement
the
administration
ordered
a
local
subcontractor
to
get
it
paved
to
try
to
alleviate
some
of
the
issues
with
the
road.
The
dirt,
primarily
the
driveway,
still
have
to
be
tied
in
they've,
got
to
pour
those
I'm
uncertain
at
this
time.
E
D
And
I
expect
you
know
our
project
manager
to
let
us
know,
and
in
particular
the
one
who
get
the
most
heat
about
it
when
they
call
me
over
and
over
and
over
it's
at
least
I
could
have.
Some
type
of
explanation
like
I
said.
Staying
in
the
dark
is
not
an
option,
especially
five
and
a
half
years
into
this.
D
T
D
D
I
think
I
got
mostly
everything
that
I
wanted
to
look
at
yeah.
Yes,
it's
time
to
wrap
it
up.
You
know
it's
kind
of
it's
kind
of
time
to
get
on
the
ball,
and
it's
kind
of
time
for
us
to
find
some
some
people
to
give
us
that
information.
It's
time
for
us
to
find
some
contractors
that
can
do
the
work
and
and
like
I
said
you
know,
I
live
there.
D
D
Because
now
it's
costing
us,
you
know
you,
you,
you
think
it's
costing
the
city,
but
it's
costing
the
residence
and
now
you're,
talking
probably
about
the
possibly
the
lower
income
area
of
your
city,
to
put
out
the
most
amount
of
money
with
no
kind
of
type
of
our
reimbursement
reparation
or
anything
like
that,
and
we
are
at
a
time
where
we
need
someone
who's
going
to
manage
our
project
and
right
now
with
so
many
issues
that
we
have
such
as
Magnolia
Street,
such
as
Division
Street,
being
promised
back
in
August.
It's
not
being
done.
D
It's
it's!
It's
very
frustrating
I'm
speaking
as
calm
as
I
could
about
dealing
with
something
for
five,
four
or
five
years
and
and
million
insight.
And
you
know
people
make
a
lot
of
money
to
do.
Nothing
and
and
I
shouldn't
be
out
there
as
a
councilman
trying
to
manage
a
problem
in
walking
every
single
Street
reporting,
because
I've
turned
in
quite
a
few
issues.
Myself
and
and
I
know
the
project
inside
out.
Is
it's
frustrating
that
we
can't
get
it
moving
at
any
kind
of
right,
even
if
it
means
the
city
dipping
into
our
pockets?
E
I
think
you
know
we
need
to
take
a
ride
again
like
we
did
before
and
we'll
do
that
either
Thursday
or
Friday
and
we'll
itemize
and
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
and
it
will
make
sure
that
we
concentrate
on
either.
You
know
Oscar
render
doing
or
getting
somebody
who
can
do
it.
So
that's
my
commitment
to
you
and
I
take
the
heat
on
Magnolia
Street
and
you
know
we'll
we'll
make
sure.
There's
no
conflict
and
you
know
we're
gonna
get
it
done.
So
that's
what
I
can
offer
as
a
as
a
solution.
D
And
so
close
I'll
close
with
this,
you
know
I've
been
asking
since
September.
You
know
they
haven't
turned
the
area
over
to
us
yet
and
by
they're,
not
turning
the
area
over
to
us
they're
responsible
for
cleaning
up
the
ass
while
it's
been
laid
and
we
got
asphalt
all
over
the
place
just
all
over
the
place.
Somebody
has
to
clean
up.
That's.
T
D
At
the
point
where
he
can't
keep
begging,
you
know
making
offers
it's
like
begging
and-
and
we
got
grass
growing
all
over
the
place.
We
got
stuff
all
in
the
streets
and,
like
I
said
I
want
my
neighbourhood
to
look
a
little
bit
like
your
song,
where
it
could
be
clean
and
in
maintenance.
I
want
my
public
work
workers
to
come
out
and
clean
my
area
some
days
too,
but
to
go
six
eight
months,
and
then
you
have
to
beg
to
have
someone
a
service
that
our
taxpayers
are
paying
to
get
that
service.
T
After
you
in
the
mayor
and
may
possibly
me
riding
a
Thursday
or
Friday
through
the
areas
like
I
said
it,
it's
no
issue
for
me
to
start
bringing
in
other
contractors
to
the
area.
I
mean
if
that's
what
the
administration
and
the
council
elects
to
do.
I'm
fine
with
it
we're
already
in
a
situation
of
with
them,
doesn't
bother
me
any
only.
Let's
do
it
that.
I
E
I
T
Got
to
get
another
contractor
to
come
in,
Oscar
Renda
has
done
their
work
and
Pihl
has
done
their
work.
There's
a
issue
with
the
property
right
there,
mr.
Richmond's
real
estate
property
that
he
has
there
during
construction
activities
by
Oscar
Renda.
There
was
potential
or
there
appears
to
be
damages
to
his
building.
So
they
are
the
property
owner
and
Oscar
Renda
and
their
insurance
company
are
in
dispute.
T
Hemphill
doesn't
want
to
get
anywhere
in
that
area
because
they
don't
want
to
take
on
a
possible
claim
situation,
so
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
hire
someone
to
come
in
and
lay
about
60
feet
of
water
main
put
down
some
aggregate
put
down
some
base
as
fault
we'll
be
done
with
it.
They'll
probably
go
out
as
a
purchase
order,
we'll
get
quotes
from
local
sub
local
contractors
to
do
the
work
and
and
get
it
finished.
The
other
thing
we're
waiting
on
was
Hemphill
just
finished
the
other
day,
the
curb
and
gutter.
T
I
E
What
I
think
how
it's
going
to
delivered
and
install
the
main
hold
just
south
of
railroad
tracks?
Mpo
did
a
little
bit
just
north
of
Howard
Avenue
on
that
section
of
in
a
key
there's
some
water
but
I,
think
those
two
manholes
are
tied
together.
Now,
yes,
okay,
Jimmy
Lane,
actually
was
the
one
that
actually
restored
or
stabilized
the
building
and
did
did
the
remaining
work
now
I,
don't
know
how
much
water
or
whose
to
do
the
water
connection
under
the
railroad
tracks.
No,
sir,
just
between
the
from
Howard
is
it
there's
two
manholes
yeah.
T
T
I
E
Q
Mr.
mayor,
the
only
issue
I
really
have
with
my
council
report
is
the
corner
of
Popp's
Ferry,
Road
and
Ravenwood.
We
talked
about
this.
I
spoke
with
the
chief
I
spoke
with
Public
Works,
there's
a
couple:
trees
that
prevent
North
to
Northeast,
bound
traffic
headed
headed
on
Popp's
Ferry
Road,
from
seeing
the
stoplights
the
traffic
lights
in
the
past,
we've
had
two
major
accidents
at
that
intersection
with
cars
being
flipped
over
is
the
northbound
traffic
speeding.
Q
You
know
and
I
hate
to
say
that
they
were
most
likely
exceeding
the
speed
limit,
but
we
have
to
prepare
for
that
if
it's
occurring
situation
of
a
growing
situation.
Just
recently,
I
was
at
the
field
across
from
the
Margaret
library
and
I
heard
some
squealing
and
again
a
car
half
way
out
into
the
intersection,
because
they
fail
to
acknowledge
to
stop
right
now,
whether
it's
texting
a
driver,
ain't
anything
else
when
I
travel,
that
road
I
know
that
there's
a
stoplight
there
so
I'm
prepared.
Q
But
if
I
was
an
unknowing
Travie
on
that
road,
I
would
not
know
that
life
stone
tell
them
around
all
the
trees,
and
it
is
too
late
to
stop,
especially
if
I'm
looking
at
a
high
rate
of
speed
and
it
puts
the
people
that
are
heading
in
the
the
west
bound
lane.
It
puts
them
in
danger
and
we've
seen
this
accident
numerous
times.
I
know
that
I
think
the
what's
Eric's
job.
Q
C
Mayor
way,
Happy
New
Year,
let's
be
Croatian
on
occasion,
Brandon.
If
you
would
call
up
the
erosion
pictures
that
I
sent
you
that's
my
favorite
railroad
crossing,
but
this
is
what
there's
a
series
of
pictures
and
you
can
go
through
and
brought
every
five
or
six
seconds
Brandon.
This
is
the
sidewalk
between
Howard,
Avenue
and
highway
90,
and
this
is
under
the
eye.
1/10
connector-
and
this
is
just
all
the
erosion
that's
occurred
under
there
and
I
think
we're
responsible
for
it.
I
don't
know,
I
know
that
area
I
was
talking
with
mr.
Lennon.
C
C
And
right
there
that
sidewalk
for
people
like
me
that
first
section
of
concrete
is
you
need
one
of
those
yellow
stripe
lines
say
or
something
somebody's
gonna
trip,
that's
about
a
two
inch
rise
there
and
some
klutz
like
me
could
break
a
hip,
then
I
couldn't
make
it
to
the
New
Year
celebration
next
year
anyway,
that
that's
all
that's
all
I
have
to
say.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
I
wanna
thank
Paul
for
lending
me
his
microphone
today,
I'm
on
time,
a
little
technical
difficulty
I
think
mr.
Berg
did
something
to
it
over
here.
Almost
but
I'm
anyway,
getting
serious
the
barrace
high
Diamond
Club
is
doing
their
drawdown
for
Superbowl.
This
is
their
fourth
year
that
they're
doing
it.
I
sent
all
the
council
members
the
promo
picture
of
it.
I
can
support
it
or
buy
a
ticket
and
come
by
it's
really
really
a
fun
time.
I've
been
to
two
of
them,
and
it's
really
for
a
good
cause.
K
There's
a
band,
there's
food,
there's
drinks
and
it
and
it
goes
to
support
our
youth
and
you
get
to
kind
of
rub
elbows
with
a
lot
of
the
coaches
and
parents
that
are
very
involved
with
youth
baseball.
So
it's
pretty
noisy
on
baseball
I'd
like
to
also
ask
Kristy
is
for
a
report.
Last
meeting
and
I
think
she's
gathered
a
little
information.
I
appreciate
it
director,
you
kind
of
shed
some
light
on
waters.
We.
A
Okay,
see
if
I
can
get
this
thing
to
work,
we
do
have
our
permits,
so
the
request
was
initially
to
go
in
and
clean
some
of
the
natural
drainage
ways
off
of
waters
view
we
needed
the
wetland
areas,
so
they
need
permits.
We
have
received
a
certificate
of
waiver
from
DMR
and
we've
sieved,
an
email
back
from
the
Corps,
letting
us
know
that
they
have
a
45
day
time
period
to
respond.
It's
been
passed
45
days
were
ok
to
proceed
with
the
work.
A
K
A
K
M
R
K
To
yours,
acting
up
to
here,
but
I
had
spoken
to
the
supervisor
quite
some
time,
probably
over
a
year
ago
and
Connie
in
particular,
I,
don't
know,
I'm
pretty
sure
this
is
Connie,
it's
either
Connie
or
Beverly,
but
they
said
if
we
got
the
permits
and
the
clearance
and
all
that
stuff,
then
they're
they'll
stand
ready
to
support
us
to
take
the
next
step.
So
I'm
encouraged
that
I'll
keep
her
out
or
word
a.
M
H
M
And
that
Wynnum
outside
just
to
be
sure,
I
understood
here's
a
good
example.
Let's
say:
there's
a
project:
let's
say
it's,
the
pipe
that
goes
under
Shriners
wrote
that
wherever
flooding,
if
we
have
a
project,
that's
already
designed
or
engineered
when
early,
not
given
it
just
the
engineer
and
and
we
give
it
to
them-
and
they
they
agree
that
that
that
go
on
the
list
and
then
the
magic
happens
when
they
we
have
a
rainfall
of
more
than
four
inches
in
24
hours.
M
M
K
Thank
you
on
those
issues.
Only
got
a
couple
more
comments:
chief
Miller,
thank
you.
We
had
an
issue
with
some
I
guess
that
people
were
in
the
wrong
area
in
the
neighborhood
and
I,
appreciate
you
giving
them
assistance
or
where
they
needed
to
go
the
other
day,
and
the
residents
in
that
area
told
me
to
directly
tell
you
thank
you.
K
The
other
thing
we
got
youth
basketball,
starting
up,
I'm
very
involved
with
my
not
Croatian
kid
Emerson
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
sherry
bail,
you
Greg
Elliott
terrorists,
those
coaches,
it's
a
great
experience,
first
time
him
playing
basketball
this
year.
You
know
wonderful
experience
out
there,
not
only
with
him,
but
all
those
kids
out
there.
They
really
it's
an
hour
of
joy
that
they
get
away
and
get
to
compete
and
everything
they
got.
Some
good
coaches
teaching
them
some
good
things
out
there.
So
thank
you
and
in
your
leadership.
N
Just
have
a
couple
of
things:
I
want
to
do
a
board
meeting
in
March,
and
so
I
want
to
get
with
all
the
department
heads
the
mayor's
office
and
see
what
date
would
be
good
on
that
and
I.
Don't
know
where
we
are
on
the
community
center,
but
if
possible
we
can
have
it
in
there
and
then
I've
been
contacted
by
someone
from
the
library
and
CTA.
We
had
mentioned
that
we
would
revisit
our
budgets
for
them
somewhere
around
an
ouch,
and
so
we.
N
So
it's
if
we
can,
you
know,
look
at
it
and
just
give
them
an
answer
either
way.
I
know,
Kevin
has
contacted
me
several
times
from
CTA
and
I.
Think
he's
talked
to
some
other
council
members
as
well
about
revisiting.
He
said
that
we
possibly
may
have
some
cuts
or
something.
If
not
so
we
can
look
at
that
again
and
and
then
I
just
want
to
know.
Felix
has
stepped
out
the
room,
but
he
said
something
I
think's
important
that
we
can
avoid
in
the
future
are
try
to
avoid
on
these
FEMA
contracts.
N
It
seems
like
100
percent
of
the
time
when
they
come
in
when
a
projects
done
the
yards,
we
have
yards
that
are
immaculate
and
then,
whenever
the
projects
done,
you
have
all
these
rocks
everywhere
and
I
know
an
eagle
point
where
I
live
when
the
project
was
done,
I
had
to
spend
a
pretty
good
balamani
to
resolder
my
yard,
and
it's
not
so
much
just
the
side,
but
getting
all
those
rocks
out
of
the
art
or
you
can
just
mow
without
busting
out
your
vehicle
windows
or
your
neighbors
windows.
I.
N
N
It's
not
fair
to
a
homeowner
to
spend
tons
of
money
on
their
yard
and
I
understand
that
projects
have
to
be
done,
it's
right
away
and
easements
and
all
that
stuff,
but
we
should
at
least
make
it
to
where,
when
the
grass
comes
back,
they
can
mow
their
grass
without
the
fear
of
that.
You
know
it's
not
just
the
windows,
but
I
mean
it's
a
danger
to
people,
that's
mowing
their
own
grass
slinging
a
rock
and
hitting
somebody
or
anything.
It's
just.
N
It's
not
fair
that
they
leave
these
properties
in
the
shape
that
they're
in
once
they
come
through,
and
you
know
the
only
thing
that
they
think
about
is
getting
the
pipe
in
the
ground,
but
you
know
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
to
write
into
these
contracts
that
they're
responsible
to
clean
it
to
where
it's
manageable
by
the
homeowner.
Once
you
know
the
pipe
is
on
the
ground,
so
that's
all
I
have.
B
It
looks
like
the
king
of
second
liners
had
walked
in
the
building.
I
know
the
king
removal
into
public
agenda.
Where
we
have
citizen
comments,
each
citizen
is
allowed
three
minutes
each
to
speak.
We

a
total
time
allotted

45
minutes.
Anyone
on
my
left,
your
right
that

like
to

sure
come

up.

Okay.

Hello,
my
name
is
Emerson
Morris
I
am
a
freshman
student
at
st.
Patrick,
Catholic
High
School
I
have
been
doing
a
research
project
on
the
Microcystis
aeruginosa
or
what
most
of
you
would
call
it.
The
blue-green
algae
that
bloomed
over
the
summer
and
I.
Basically,
what
I
did
was
I
took
water
samples
from
basic
Lois,
Gulfport
and
Lake
Pontchartrain,
and
changed
the
pH
of
the
water
and
started
trying
to
grow
it,
and
basically,
what
I
proved
with
that
research
was
that
the
bada
carries
the
way
did
have
a
direct
impact
on
that
algae
bloom.
V
Support
what
Mayor,
gala
and
former
mayor
bless
II
want
to
do
with
the
Bonnet
Carre
spillway,
because,
as
as
the
youth
of
Mississippi
and
as
the
future
of
Mississippi
I
feel
like
this
is
an
a
good
issue
and
it's
an
important
issue
that
we
need
to
address
and
find
a
solution
to
in
the
future.
So
thank.
B
R
R
Seashore
mission
pastor
recognized
me
as
a
minister
today
this
morning
we
have
this
for
y'all,
home-based
D'iberville.
When
I'm
reading,
all
God's
children
represent
Mississippi
more
appropriately
instead
of
Mississippi
Burning
I
have
y'all's
attention
and
take
mature
sisters
and
guidance.
Y'all
have
a
blessed
day.
B
Q
H
U
Staff
is
going
through
the
land
development
ordinance
and
there
are
some
areas
in
there
were.
There
need
to
be
changes.
It's
basically
a
housekeeping
thing.
We
notice
that
some
of
the
uses
listed
under
regulated
uses
had
the
wrong
footnote
at
the
end.
So
basically,
what
we're
doing
is
correcting
those
footnotes
and
changing
some
uses.
C
Q
Q
I
U
But
a
small
group
of
them
so
that
we
can
get
them
cleaned
up
at
the
same
time,
there
will
be
more
coming,
but
typically,
when
you
notice
an
error
or
a
typo
in
the
LDO
is
when
you
actually
lay
a
project
down
beside
it,
and
you
start
comparing
the
notes
with
the
project.
That's
when
these
things
really
jump
out
at
you
did
this
interfere
with
the
project.
U
B
U
It
that
means
it's
a
permitted
use
in
in
the
charts
that
are
in
there
if
there
is
a
blank
square
out
next
to
it.
That
means
that
it's
whatever
the
use
is
that's
described
is
not
allowed.
If
there's
a
P
there,
it
means
it's
permitted
by
Wright
and
if
there's
a
sea
there,
it
means
that
it's
allowed
as
a
conditional
use.
W
B
U
Okay,
what
this
is
is
that,
several
years
ago,
most
of
the
property
owners
along
the
peninsula
had
come
in
and
requested
that
their
property
be
changed
to
waterfront
zoning,
some
of
the
but
there's
still
some
of
the
existing
seafood
and
shrimp
processing
plants
that
are
located
there
in
the
waterfront
zoning
boat.
Fuel
storage
is
not
allowed
as
a
use.
U
It's
only
allowed
in
industrial,
but
rather
than
require
property
owners
to
go
back
and
try
to
change
their
property
back
to
industrial,
which
is
something
we
did
not
want
to
see
happen.
We
were
approached
about
allowing
boat
fuel
storage
tanks
as
a
conditional
use
in
waterfront
zoning,
where
some
of
these
processing
plants
are
located.
U
They
were
existing
already,
they
would
have
been
grandfathered
in
the
reason
this
has
become.
An
issue
is
because
only
the
processing
plant
that
the
Galatz
have
bought
on
the
bay
I'm,
sorry
less
so
they
they
have
some
tanks
that
they
would
like
to
provide
in
there.
It
actually
is
used
to
run
their
equipment
and
when
they
came
in,
we
realized
that
this
was
not
a
use
that
was
allowed
there.
There
was
a
provision
in
the
in
the
fire
code
that
prohibited
from
going
into
waterfront
zoning.
U
X
Well,
I
think
the
like
Jerry
said:
you
know
the
code.
The
code
under
waterfront
specifically
says
that
you
can't
have
bulk
storage
because
it's
mainly
for
you
know
the
waterfront
is
for
casinos
and
gambling
and
stuff
under
the
previous
code.
It
was
industrial
which
was
allowed.
That's
the
only
two
differences.
This
property
is
going
to
be
used
tomorrow,
knowledge
as
industrial.
You
know,
shrimping
the
the
owners
have
approached
us
and
asked
you
know
what
would
be
the
feasibility
of
doing
this,
because
there
are
very,
very
limited
areas
for
shrimp
boats
to
fuel
their
boats.
X
You
know
on
the
water
now
you
know
because
there's
no
processing
plants
or
anything
so
we
feel,
like
you
know,
under
the
code,
the
way
the
current
code
reads.
If
it,
if
it
reverts
back
to
a
waterfront
property,
you
know
where
somebody
wants
to
come
in
and
build
a
casino
or
a
restaurant
or
something
where
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
around
then.
Yes,
it
needs
to
revert
back
and
then
they
would
not
have
the
capacity
to
put
a
bulk
storage
plan.
But
until
that
time
you
know
what
they're
wanting
to
use
it.
X
It's
it's
strictly
for
the
seafood.
You
know
the
processors
to
use
back
there,
there's
not
going
to
be
a
casino
now
if
it
was
a
case
like
you
have
where
boomtown
and
then
you
have
a
processing
plant
next
to
it
there
you
know.
Certainly
you
couldn't
put
bulk
storage
plant,
but
there's
nothing
in
the
vicinity
there.
So
there's
no
danger.
X
I
I
C
X
I
I
O
I
U
E
Decide
see
what
we're
trying
to
do.
You
know
Cooper
used
to
fuel
a
few
boats.
They
need
a
bigger
facility,
so
you're
already
feeling
boats
there.
He
wants
a
builder
I
think
how
many
thousands,
forty
twelve
okay,
all
right,
so
I
mean
it's
not
like
it
wasn't
there.
They
were
doing
it
here
now
they
want
to
do
it,
expand
it
I,
guess
the
problem
was
the
the
quality
of
what
we're
trying
to
store
one.
It
yeah.
K
I'll
just
add
this
I
think
the
developers
of
the
property
are
interested
in
a
kind
of
a
storage
facility,
climate
control,
storage
facility.
I
know
we
had
to
in
my
ward
already.
This
would
be
a
third
one,
but
I've
had
some
discussions
with
the
developers
and
property
owners
in
and
around
the
area.
There
seems
to
be
no
pushback
on
this
and.
U
B
W
N
The
current
what
we
have
currently
pertaining
to
fireworks,
as
well
as
the
proposed
changes
to
seasonal
firework
sells.
We
have
an
ordinance
that
says
that
fireworks
or
the
possession
of
fireworks
are
prohibited
in
the
city
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
these
questions,
because
I've
heard
from
several
people
that
chief
boney
would
rather
us
not
have
seasonal
firework
cells
in
the
city
limits
just
because
of
all
the
issues
that
it
causes
and
and
then
the
load
that
it
caught.
The
city
is
basically
losing
money
on
this
and
so
I
guess.
N
Y
As
for
as
far
as
the
sales
go,
I
could
go
either
way
with
that.
If
we,
if
we
ban
the
sell
they're
still
going
to
fire,
we're
still
going
to
pop
fireworks,
I
would
prefer
to
have
something
rewritten
in
13
112
that
would
control
when
they
could
pop
fireworks.
My
big
problem
is
there
and
fireworks.
These
people
are
going
to
shoot
them
and
I'm
going
to
get
the
complaints,
and
it's
just
over
and
over
and
over
again,
and
the
problem
always
is
that
well
you're
not
supposed
to
possess
them.
Y
You
know
so
you
know
the
police
cheese
violating
the
law
by
allowing
people
to
shoot
these
fireworks.
So
for
me,
it's
not
so
much
about
the
cell
as
it
is,
if
I
making
making
the
ordinance
read
properly
so
that
that
they
can
at
least
if
they're
going
to
do
it,
they
can
do
it
legally
on
particular
days
or
whenever
the
mayor
decides
that's
proper.
X
Personally,
in
my
chosen
profession,
I
have
had
the
misfortune
to
see
what
fireworks
do
to
the
human
body
and
property,
and
it's
it's
it
affected
me
and
it
affects
me
and
I.
Don't
think
that
anyone
wants
their
child
or
children
to
be
maimed
or
harmed
by
fireworks.
I
know:
I'm
gonna
upset
a
large
majority
of
the
population
by
saying
this,
but
I
believe
that
the
sale
of
fireworks
is
just
asking
for
danger.
X
We
have
great
fireworks,
displays
professional
fireworks,
displays
and
I
think
we
should
leave
that
to
the
professionals.
You
know
professionally.
We
have
an
ordinance
that
allows
the
sale
of
fireworks.
So
we
try
to.
We
try
to
to
maintain
that
as
best
we
can.
We
have
our
fire
inspectors
inspect
the
facilities.
They
make
sure
that
they're
reasonably
safe
or
as
fireworks
go,
and
they
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
that.
As
far
as
the
the
cost
of
of
us
doing
these
inspections,
it's
it's
fairly
minimal.
They
can
do
them.
X
We
only
have
I
believe
three
fireworks
sales
in
the
city
of
Biloxi.
You
know
I
think
a
bigger
issue
is.
Is
there
was
a
you
know,
an
argument
over
the
type
of
structures
or
facilities
to
sell
fireworks
and
there
again
I'm
of
the
mind
that
you
know
a
permanent
structure.
If
you
sell
out
of
a
permanent
structure,
the
current
fire
code
requires
you
to
sprinkler
a
permanent
structure.
X
If
you're,
if
you're
selling
fireworks,
we
do
have
one
structure
in
the
city,
a
permanent
structure
that
sells
fireworks
and
they
are
currently
grandfathered
in,
so
they
don't
have
to
abide
by
the
current
fire
codes.
You
know
the
tents
as
opposed
to
structures,
there's
there's
all
kind
of
schools
of
thinking
on
this,
but
from
what
I've
seen
if
a
person
has
a
360
degree
exit
way
out
of
a
tent?
It's
to
me
it's
a
lot
safer
than
than
it
is
in
a
structure
where
you're
limited
to
one
or
two
exit
ways.
X
N
Another
question:
whenever
you
say
a
permanent
structure,
you're
talking
about
a
building.
So
if,
let's
say
hypothetically,
we
had
a
stand
that
was
moved
in
just
for
the
season.
Would
that
have
to
be
sprinkled
if
it
was
something
that
was
seasonal,
that
a
fireworks
stand
came
in
that
that
the
public
could
not
enter
that
they
had
to
order
across
the
counter
right.
Q
N
X
Fire
chief
as
a
purist
and
a
fire
chief
I,
would
rather
not
see
any
fireworks
in
a
city
I've
seen
what
they
what
they
do
and-
and
you
know
our
society-
we
live
a
lot
closer
together
in
society.
It's
not
like
it
used
to
be
you.
Can
you
can
go
out
in
your
yard
after
after
the
fourth
of
July,
and
you
can
see
debris
in
your
backyard
from
fireworks?
It's
it's.
It's
an
inherent
problem
and,
and
so
professionally
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
I
would
not
like
to
see
fireworks,
sold
or
popped
in
the
city.
N
It
doesn't
bother
me
personally,
but
I
do
know
that
it
bothers
a
lot
of
people
and
from
the
a
city
standpoint
you
know,
like
I
said
it
doesn't
bother
me
that
people
pop
fireworks,
but
from
a
safety
standpoint
as
well
as
a
financial
standpoint.
Another
thing
is-
and
this
doesn't
really
apply
to
y'all
as
much
is
the
the
risk
versus
the
reward
mindset.
N
You
know
you
have
people
that
are
paying
a
very
minimal
fee
for
this
permits
and
how
much
money
is
the
city
really
recapturing
on
sales
tax
and
things
like
this,
because
we
all
know
that
it's
a
very
large
cash
business,
the
majority
of
it's
a
cash
business.
So
it's
the
risk
of
having
these
worst
worth
the
reward.
So
I'm
going
to.
Let
whoever
else
has
any
questions
and
then,
if
we
want
to
make
any
modifications
to
what
we
have,
we
may
do
that
in
a
minute.
Yeah.
C
M
N
C
That
the
pros
and
cons
of
whether
to
prohibit
the
sale
of
fireworks
and
the
discharge
of
highway
discharge
is
already
unlawful,
correct
in
possession
so
to
prohibit
the
sale
of
fireworks
in
the
city
entirely,
as
mr.
Perret
had
mentioned
a
moment
ago
or
barring
that,
maybe
look
at
the
implications
of
limiting
the
time
when
these
fireworks
could
be
discharged.
C
So
if
it's
July
4th,
maybe
its
24-hour
period,
the
day
of
and
for
New
Year's,
when
you
could
do
that,
just
it
would
make
the
chief
chief
Miller's
job
easier.
I,
certainly
understand
you
get
a
bazillion
calls
that
day
and
what
do
you
do?
You're,
trying
to
be
fair,
you're,
sort
of
behind
the
eight-ball
and
I
suspect,
I,
don't
know
my
guess.
Is
you
give
everybody
a
warning
and
I'm
willing
to
bet
you
there,
some
people
who
get
possibly
two
dozen
warnings
that
that.
C
Addition
to
whatever
legitimate
calls
not
to
say
that
these
are
not
legitimate.
It's
just
in
terms
of
parties,
you're
chasing
a
lot
of
issues
out
there
at
that
time.
So
I
would
like
for
my
colleagues
here
on
this
side
of
the
bench,
to
just
consider
tabling
this
and
maybe
get
a
departmental
report
in
terms
of
the
pros
and
cons
and
the
implications.
I
think.
M
C
If
we're
looking
at,
if
there's,
if
there's
some
sort
of
financial
implication-
and
there
is,
we
just
don't
know
how
great
I
suspect
it's
minimal,
but
then
you
deal
with
safety
issues.
Maybe
is
give
somebody
some
time
to
say:
can
we
had
14
injuries
at
the
hospital
or
lost
16
digits
over
the
course
of
seven
different
incidences,
or
we
had
427
calls
in
six
hours
at
the
police
department,
or
we
had
four
brush
fires
because
of
fire

we
dealt
with
MGM

He
was
hurt
very
tragically
in
an
accident
recently,
and
his
kids
are
scrambling
there
to
try
to
decide
what
to
do.
I
met
with
the
daughter
and
I
also
met
with
a
grandson
yesterday,
and
they
they
can't
really
do
anything
right
now,
because
they're
trying
to
get
together
to
determine
ownership
and
control,
so
I
told
them.
What
we
would
do
is
move
forward
with
the
project
and
if,
in
the
meantime
they
could
get
controlled
and
come
pull
a
permit
to
take
it
down,
and
we
would
take
that
into
consideration.
