Mr
president,
before
I
welcome
everyone
to
our
council
meeting
and
also
before
I
introduce
the
host
of
the
susan
hunt,
show
we'll
we'll
get
on
with
that.
But
do
we
appreciate
everybody
being
here?
I
think
everybody
is
feeling
I
think,
the
positive
feeling
that
we
have
in
biloxi
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
to
the
next
12
months
to
to
see
where
our
city
will
go
and
and
the
experiences
we'll
have
so.
But
let
me
begin
by
introducing
our
host
susan
hunt.
D
C
Okay,
these
organizations
are
working
to
improve
early
learning
opportunities,
including
early
literacy
programs,
that
can
provide
a
foundation
of
learning
for
children
in
biloxi,
whereas
teachers
and
others
who
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
young
children
in
biloxi
deserve
thanks
and
recognition,
whereas
public
policies
that
support
early
learning
for
all
young
children
are
crucial
to
young
children's
future.
Now,
therefore,
I'm
andrew
fofo
gilch
mayor
of
biloxi,
mississippi,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
april
10
2021
a
week
of
the
young
child
susan.
D
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
very
much
and
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
your
bread.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
hope
you
enjoy
your
bread
and
I'm
coming
next
week.
So
you'll
get
some
more
okay,
all
right!
Well
at
this
time.
What
I'd
like
to
do?
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
so
very,
very
much
for
all
your
support
and
everything
that
you
do
in
helping
biloxi
excel
by
five.
D
At
this
time
I
am
going
to
call
some
of
our
child
care,
centers
and
schools
that
were
able
to
come.
I'm
sure
you
all
know
they
it's
kind
of
tough
right
now,
they're.
Looking
for
folks
that
would
like
to
have
that
would
like
to
work
with
young
people
and
of
course
it
was
kind
of
lunch
time,
so
they
couldn't
so
they
will
get
their
certificates.
D
D
D
D
D
F
C
C
Of
where
I'm
at
so,
but
I'm
going
to
try
it
okay,
whereas
the
people
of
biloxi
people's
bank
books
has
been
in
continuous
operation
since
its
opening
on
april
13,
1896
and
whereas,
throughout
his
existence,
the
people
banks,
people's
bank,
has
contributed
to
the
growth
culture
and
prosperity
of
biloxi
in
the
mississippi
gulf
coast,
the
people's
bank
is
marking
a
milestone
with
its
quiet,
quin
centennial.
I've
never
heard
of
it.
That's.
H
C
That's
pretty
difficult
anyway,
whereas
too
much
though
much
has
changed
over
the
last
125
years,
the
people's
bank,
much
like
the
city,
has
exhibited
a
resiliency
that
has
been
has
seen
through
challenges
in
natural
disasters.
Now,
therefore,
I'm
andrew
fofo
gilch
mayor
of
boxing,
mississippi
in
honor
of
the
125th
anniversary
of
the
people's
bank,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
13th
day
of
april
2021
as
the
people's
bank
day.
Congratulations.
H
H
Amen,
I
am
the
third
generation
to
be
president
of
the
bank
and
hopefully
on.
My
left
is
the
fourth
generation
to
be
president
of
the
bank.
We
are
going
to
try
and
do
something
special
for
the
birthday
and
we
were
going
to
replace
the
indoor
outdoor
carpet
on
the
front
of
the
bank
steps
there
and,
as
we
pulled
up
the
carpet
as
you
go
up,
the
steps
inlaid
is
the
name
harrison
county
bank
that
bank
started
construction
in
1913
was
completed
in
1914.

Where

she
has
devoted
her
time
and
energy
to
the
council
office
and

the
many
council

who
has
have
served
our

Therefore,
I'm

and
on

brazier
day.
B
Well,
I'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
mayor
for
this
wonderful
honor,
and
I
would
like
to
thank
my
wonderful
bosses
again
for
the
opportunity
to
to
work
with
them
all
these
years,
and
I
look
out
and
see
many
faces
of
co-workers
which
we're
really
just
family
and
it's
just
been
a
real
blessing
to
be
able
to
work
towards
our
city
becoming
what
we
hope
is
going
to
be.
Thank
you
all
and
thank
you
to
my
girls
who
who
are
my
back.
B
E
C
F
F
C
A
I
I
was
just
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
this
past
weekend
and
spring
break
just
a
short
report.
As
you
know,
the
weather
played
a
big
factor
in
how
many
people
were
here
mostly.
What
we
saw
were,
I
say,
local
people
from
louisiana
and
alabama
people
that
are
a
day
away.
We
have
probably
between
two
and
three
thousand
visitors
here.
I
Naturally,
saturday,
with
the
weather,
dampened
everything
so
sat
saturday
night,
we
saw
quite
a
few
in
club
zodiac.
It
was
a
full
house
until
about
four
o'clock
that
morning
and
then
sunday
turned
out
to
be
a
nice
day.
So
we
had
a
lot
of
folks
out
sunday
but
again
total
about
probably
close
to
3
000
people
was
all
not
a
lot
of
trouble.
We
did
encounter
about
40
40
guns
from
the
visitors
that
were
here
nothing
too
extreme.
There
were
several
arrests
made,
but
for
the
most
part
it
was
a
pretty
decent
weekend.
A
J
Thank
you,
mr
president.
I
wanted
to
compliment
the
police
department.
It
was
a
small
crowd
and
I
think
the
chief
would
tell
you
they
always
prepare
for
the
worst
hope
for
the
best.
It's
a
it's
a
trite
phrase,
but
that
that's
really
what
they
have
to
do:
every
every
year,
good
job,
chief
and
captain
dykes.
I
know
this
was
his
first
sojourn
in
this
spring
break
with
the
traffic
and
everything
the
lighting
on
the
pops
ferry
bridge.
I
know
we
were
waiting
on
parts.
Is
that.
J
And
cemetery:
are
we
getting
any
closer
to
finalizing
the
plots
just
because
I've
had
people?
Ask
me
they're
interested
in
purchasing
plots,
so
we
we're
getting
any
closer
to.
I
know
we
we,
I
think,
approved
the
plot,
but
we
are
talking
about
the
regs
on
this
on
the
cemetery.
So
are
we
kind
of
getting
to
the
point
where
we
could,
let
folks
know
they're
for
sale?
Are
we
getting
any
closer
to
that.
L
J
L
J
M
N
N
N
N
N
O
K
K
C
I
did
you
know,
review
that
and
we
have
some
ideas
again.
We
made
a
number
of
heavy
number
of
conversations
with
fema
and
mima
on
what
can
be
done,
and
I
don't
know
you
know
the
structure
of
that
pier.
It's
got
one
piling
and
cantilever
stuff.
It's
my
opinion
that
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
something
different.
You
know
we
can
do
it
fast.
We
can
maybe
cut
down
some
things
to
get
the
use
and
maybe,
instead
of
having
one
complete
section,
it'll
be
easy
enough
to
open.
C
You
know
60
percent
of
that
walkway
space.
You
know
sort
of
rapidly
and
I
haven't
had
any
conversations
with
seymour
and
these
other
ones.
But
you
know
we
don't
want
to
do
the
same
thing,
because
it's
not
a
very
you
know
durable
structure
as
it
sits.
So
you
know
it'll.
It
may
take
a
few
weeks
longer
to
get
a
plan
and
get
it
approved
and
go
forward,
but
you
know
whether
it
cost
us
money
or
whether
it
costs.
You
know
whether
we
get
some
reimbursement.
O
O
O
Say
I
know
that
lucy
was
and,
and
so
were
the
other
council
women
that
I
mean
the
clerks
that
we
have
they've
been
amazing
over
the
past
eight
years.
I
know
that
they've
they've
talked
with
us
through
the
hard
times,
they've
dealt
with
us
when
we've
given
them
hard
times,
and
you
know
one
of
my
favorite
memories
about
city
council
is
when
lucy
announced
the
issues
and
then
walked
out
and
told
us.
We
were
idiots
as
a
as
a
citizen,
and
I
paraphrase
because
she
didn't
call
us
idiots,
but
she
meant
it.
O
O
L
Chief
I'd
also
like
to
echo
a
job
well
done
this
weekend
and
listen.
We
welcomed
our
spring
breakers.
The
hotels
did
very
well
and
the
the
safety
and
traffic
was
managed
really
well
as
well,
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
many
many
more
events
and
we'll
we'll
watch
those
red
cones
come
up
and
for
for
you
and
your
team
to
do
your
good
work.
Thank
you
for
that.
L
I
also
do
have
the
map
that
the
administration
provided
for
a
new
light
for
a
bus
stop.
I
met
with
some
of
the
residents
on
wetzel
we've
kind
of
selected.
I
think
what
works
there
is
a
little
dark
corner.
This
will
light
that
up
for
the
buses
when
they
come
and
pick
up
the
children
in
that
area
and
so
I'll
submit
that
mike
to
you
after
this
meeting
concludes,
and
that
ends
my
report.
Thank
you.
E
You,
mr
president,
I'd
like
to
start
off
walt.
I
would
like
to
set
up
a
meeting
monday
with
you
some
of
the
things
I
asked
for
last
week,
so
we
can
go
over
it
and
I
can
get
a
timetable
to
get
back
with
the
citizens
that
ask
those
questions.
So
I
appreciate
that
monday,
usually
about
a
regular
time
by
9
30
10..
The
other
thing
is,
mr
leonard,
the
nixon
street
railroad
crossing,
just
where,
where
are
we
at
on
that?.
K
Well,
what
we
had
to
do
was
we
had
to
remove
the
asphalt
from
the
the
road
bed
up
to
the
the
across
the
actual
crossing.
We
did
that
on
both
sides,
and
then
we
had
to
put
the
barricades
up
and
then,
of
course,
what
the
csx
was
responsible
for
is
to
removing
any
signals.
Now,
as
I
recall
at
nixon
street,
there
aren't
any
signals
to
remove.
K
E
C
Yeah
there's
a
section
that
is
looking
at
some
reporting
from
the
engineering
there's
a
section
of
about
200
feet
that
has
no
curve
on
the
south
side
and
it
needs
to
be
dressed
up
and
maybe
do
some
things.
But
there
was
there
was
a
drainage
issue
on
how
that
land
sits
and
and
that
the
interaction
with
if
we
put
a
curve
there
we'd
have
to
do
some
more
drainage,
so
we
made
instead
of
doing
a
curve
having
a
dress
sort
of
a
concrete.
C
E
C
K
F
E
E
K
K
E
But
you
know
but
having
those
barriers
there
and
those
big
old
things.
If,
if
we
go
ahead
and
clean
it
up
beautify
it
put
the
curving
down
and
get
the
engineering
issues
done
and,
like
I
said
you
know,
I
think
we
talked
about
when
we
initially
talked
about
it.
We
talked
about
april
having
it
finished
and
just
they
wanted
to
drag
out
past
end
of
the
year
or
into
next
year.
And
so
that's
that's
the
issue
that
I
was
having.
D
E
E
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
all
the
eight
years
that
that
I've
been
here.
You
taught
me
a
whole
lot,
especially
when
I
I've
I've
always
asked
for
special
requests
like
nbc
leo
with
the
black
caucus
and
different
things
like
that
and
lucy.
You
knew
all
the
details
of
how
to
do
that.
So
the
girls
that's
coming
up.
It's
gonna
they're
gonna
have
a
tall
order,
but
I
appreciate
everything
you
did
paving
the
way
and
making
it
easy
for
us
to
do
our
job.
So
thank
you
again.
A
My
report,
thank
you,
mr
guys.
I
have
just
a
few
things.
I'd
like
to
start
by
once
again
thanking
lucy.
I've
only
been
here
four
years,
but
I
remember
right
after
I
got
elected
and
it
was,
I
didn't
have
a
general
election
opponent
and
well
before
I
was
coming
into
office
lucy
reached
out
to
me,
and
you
know
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
was
acclimated
to
everything
as
much
as
possible
and
really
helped
over
the
last
four
years.
So
thank
you
so
much.
A
I
think
that's
what
we
call
them
and
luckily
we
had
closed
shriners
and
cut
shriners
like
a
couple
of
days
before-
and
I
know
the
old
tnn
building,
which
is
now
stream
electrical
got
two
inches
of
water
in
one
of
their
warehouses
or
maybe
six
inches,
but
had
we
not
cut
that
road,
when
we
did,
we
probably
would
have
had
six
or
eight
foot
of
water
in
those
buildings,
not
just
that,
but
all
those
those
buildings
surrounding
that.
So
we
dodged
a
bullet
there.
A
A
You
know,
instead
of
having
to
wait,
we
can
get
these
culverts
cleaned
out
and-
and
I
know
it's
not
something
we
can
do
today,
but
whenever
we
do
get
to
budget,
that's
something
that
I
think
is
is
very
important,
for
you
know
my
ward
roberts,
ward,
kenny's
ward
to
where
we
don't
have
to
wait
on
that
truck
whenever
we
have
problems
arise
and
they
can
get
a
system
to
where
they
go
through
clean
them
all
out
and
instead
of
having
a
bunch
of
them.
If
we
have
an
issue,
we
can
just
go
fix.
It.
C
Let
me
kind
of
update
on
what's
going
on,
there's
a
985
million
dollar
coba
bill,
but
there's
also
a
1.5
million
billion
coming
down
that
for
water
and
sewer
we're
waiting
on
a
this
is
according
to
the
mml
and
some
of
the
things
that
were
reported
to
us,
water
and
sewer
will
be.
You
know
the
the
people
who
have
the
water
and
sewer
projects
and
we
hope
storm
water
or
drainage,
we're
getting
some
clarification.
C
So
there
may
be
an
opportunity
soon,
more
sooner
than
later,
to
pick
up
those
kinds
of
things
that
would,
you
know,
enhance
our
position
to
address
some
of
these
emergency
or
non-standard
kind
of
things,
with
additional
equipment,
wells
and
those
kinds
of
things
that
may
be
coming
our
way.
Okay,
that's
higher
on
our
radar,
and
mike
has
noted
that
you
know
we
have
a.
F
C
K
Yeah,
just
to
add
one
of
the
things
that
the
council
asked
about
some
time
back
and
that
the
mayor's
recently
addressed
with
me
when
we
went
through
that
will
market
master
plan.
I
looked
at
that
50
million
worth
of
projects
that
are
listed
in
there
in
priority
order
and
the
mayor
told
me
he
wants
a
wes
biloxi
master
plan
just
like
that.
A
If
it's
not
already
planned
on
being
done,
I'd
like
to
see
us
clear
that
out
to
where
we
don't
risk
those
businesses
on
the
east
side
so
much
coming
through
there,
quick
that
it
backs
up
onto
them,
because
in
the
past
that
hasn't
been
an
issue.
But
it
got
really
close
this
time
because
it
was
coming
through
there.
So
fast.
Moving
on
the
park
eagle
point
park,
they
had
started
setting
and
pouring
slabs
for
basketball
court
pickleball
court
pavilions
and
things
this
week.
A
So
we're
nearing
you
know
we're
seeing
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
as
far
as
getting
to
the
end
of
that,
and
I
see
that
representative
felcher's
in
the
room
and
the
state
has
assisted
greatly
on
that
through
titling's
funds
and
helped
us
out
this
time
on
some
titling
stuff.
So
I'd
like
to
thank
you
and
our
local
representation
for
helping
us
out
on
that
tomorrow
we
have
a
I'm
sorry,
not
tomorrow.
A
On
thursday
5
30,
we
have
a
ribbon
cutting
at
the
wool
market
city
center,
followed
by
a
ward
meeting
around
six
o'clock.
So
if
department
heads,
if
you're
available
to
be
there
to
give
us
an
update
on
ward
7,
that
would
be
great
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I
would
like
to-
and
I
don't
know
if
y'all
are
aware
of
this
or
not,
but
I
heard
that
whenever
they
get
done
doing
the
repairs
on
the
fort
bayou
bridge
in
ocean
springs.
A
That
I-110
is
next,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
true
or
not,
but
I
heard
that
there's
going
to
be
a
time
when
I
don't
know
portions
or
all
of
that's
going
to
be
shut
down,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
we
have
some
type
of
contingency
plan,
but
I
hear
that
that's
the
next.
We
build
a
new
pop's
ferry
bridge
yeah.
I
hear
that
that's
the
next
step
and
I
know
that
that's
causing
nightmares
not
only
for
businesses
but
for
people
having
to
leave.
A
N
A
A
We
will
allow
three
minutes
per
person,
total
allotted
time
of
45
minutes
and
if
you
would
like
to
speak
when
you
come
forward,
if
you
will
state
your
name
and
please
sign
in
at
the
table,
do
I
have
anyone
on
my
left
side
of
the
room
and
your
right
side
of
the
room
that
would
like
to
speak.
My
left
side,
your
right
side,
my
right
side,
your
left
side,
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
or
is
there
anyone
in
the
back
of
the
room?
A
L
Probably
the
primary
violations
will
be
folks,
underage
drivers
or
people
driving
without
the
decal,
and
this
is
just
to
clarify.
If
you
commit
any
of
those
violations,
you
would
also
be
subject
to
a
violation
and
a
fine.
It
was
a.
It
was
a
little
confusing
the
way
the
the
other
paragraph
read.
So
I
would
ask
that
this
be
added
as
a
as
an
amendment
at
this
point
where
it's.
J
J
N
O
O
L
We
will
have
a
map
and
a
pdf
map
showing
all
roads
in
the
city
that
are
25
mile
an
hour
speed
limits
we'll
show
if
you're
crossing
a
one
of
the
larger
roads,
we'll
show
where
the
traffic
lights
are
and
certain
areas
where
we
think
there
may
be
a
propensity
to
kind
of
go
across.
But
there's
not
a
traffic
light
there
we're
going
to
try
to
highlight
those
areas
to
show
that
that
you
should
not.
You
should
not
cross
in
these
areas
so,
but.
F
O
For
example,
if
we-
and
this
is
just
looking
at
it
briefly
to
give
this
idea,
but
in
subsection
a
section
20-4-2
sub-section
8
says,
low-speed
vehicles
may
be
operated
on
city,
streets
and
roads
where
the
speed
limit
is
25
miles
per
hour
below.
Can
we
just
put?
The
word
only
may
only
be
operated
on
city
streets
in
which
the
speed
limit
is
25
miles
an
hour
or
below.
L
O
E
L
L
L
L
L
J
L
J
L
L
Right,
the
police
department,
by
by
the
statute
and
buyer
ordinance,
the
police
department
will
be
in
charge
of
the
inspections.
And
if
you
have
your
information,
you
bring
to
the
police
department,
your
driver's
license
and
your
proof
of
insurance
and
then
and
your
application
fee,
and
then
you
would
get
the
decal
at
the
police
station.
Thank.
J
J
I
There'll
be
a
little
bit
of
a
learning
curve
at
first,
but
I
suspect
that
that'll
that'll
dissipate
pretty
quick.
Okay,
you
know
we
did
we
used
to
do
the
same
thing
like
you
said,
with
motor
vehicle
hire.
We
did
the
inspections
on
the
taxis
and
so
like
it'll
take
a
little
while,
but
we'll
get
it
down.
J
A
J
Just
one
quick
comment-
and
I
I
circulated
this
a
little
earlier-
I
I
believe
to
all
the
other
council
members,
mr
cook
tanner
cook
is
excellent.
Guy
does
a
great
job
where
he
is
now
all
indications.
I
would
prefer
that
the
council
finished
this
fiscal
year
with
just
the
two
clerks
that
we
have
to
see
if
we
can
better
manage
that
not
better
manage
but
see
if
they
can
handle
the
load
and
that
maybe
we
re-examine
adding
or
filling
this
vacant
clerk
spot.
J
A
A
E
A
J
Yes,
as
as
I've
mentioned
in
our
last
council
meeting,
I
just
have
an
issue
with
flipping
individual
units
and
apartment
complexes
to
short-term
rentals.
I
I
worry
about
the
ramifications
and
and
what
they
might
be
in
the
future.
We
have
a
number
of
apartment
complexes
throughout
the
city
and
I,
I
just
think
we're
really
opening
a
can
of
worms
without
considering
other
factors
before
we
make
decisions
like
this.
Thank
you.
N
N
So,
to
my
my
knowledge,
the
best
thing
to
do
anybody
wants
to
turn
these
apartments
into
short-term
meals.
Then
I
need
to
follow
the
code.
That's
set
up
for
hotels.
The
problem
I
have
is
the
fire
department.
We
have
304
degrees,
we're
going
to
have
extra
firemen
to
go
around
inspecting
all
this
stuff.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do,
I'm
going
to
call
them
joe
boning,
who
does
this
with
the
fire
department
and
explain
all
the
problems
that
he's
been
created
with
these
short-term
rentals,
joe.
P
You
know
a
hotel
is
an
our
occupancy,
a
hotel
or
a
motel
they're
required
to
be
sprinklered,
these
short-term
rentals
in
in
the
fire
department's
eyes
or
the
fire
service's
eyes.
These
are
the
same
thing:
they're
transients.
These
are
transient.
Occupancies
people
come
in
they're,
not
aware
of
the
facilities
of
their
surroundings
like
a
permanent
apartment.
Complex
is,
apartments
are
built
for
a
specific
occupancy.
P
Hotels
are
built
for
another
specific
occupancy.
Our
issue
is
far
is
is
for
our
protection
in
these
facilities
when
you
change
the
occupancy
type
and
that's
where
we're
having
a
lot
of
issue
every
time
I
have.
I
cringe
every
time
you
come
up
here
and
talk
about
changing
a
hotel.
I
mean
a
an
apartment,
complex
or
a
condominium
into
a
short-term
rental,
because
I
know
they're
not
designed
or
built
with
the
fire
protection
systems
in
place
to
provide
the
protection
to
these
citizens.
So
that's
that's
the
the
best
short
way
I
can.
P
I
can
explain
it
to
you.
You
know,
as
far
as
residents
go
changing
a
residence
to
a
short-term
rental.
The
council
approved
decided
to
not
to
require
residents
to
be
sprinkler
for
short-term
rental
use.
I
understand
that
I
get
that,
but
when
we
start
changing
these
larger
facilities
into
into
hotels,
essentially
without
the
protective
systems
in
place,
we're
asking
for
disaster
from
the
fire
department
standpoint.
N
Just
thank
you
for
that
information
and
I
think
everybody
needs
to
pay
attention
to
the
problem.
We
actually
getting
ready
to
create
with
these
apartment
buildings
and
I'm
thinking
we're
going
to
do
this.
Then
we
need
to
make
sure
they
follow
the
follicles
and
protect
the
people
that's
living
there
and
also
to
protect
the
people
that
come
in
and
out.
You
know
you
can't
afford
it
in
your
house
every
weekend
and
take
it
up
and
pretty
pretty
soon.
N
N
O
A
couple
of
things
that
strike
me
is
that
this
is
still
a
conditional
use
and
there
are
specific
parameters
that
this
one
adheres
to,
that
not
every
every
apartment
adheres
to.
This
is
a
part
and
parcel
separate
building.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
than
any
just
any
apartment
complex.
So
when
we
take
these
specific
considerations
to
determine
whether
we're
going
to
approve
or
deny,
I
don't
think,
that's
arbitrary
capricious,
and
I
think
this
fits
within
the
parameters
of
everything
we
wanted.
O
So
when
you
look
at
the
studies
and
I've
done,
the
studies
on
this
this
past
week,
a
permanent
resident
of
a
hotel
versus
a
60
occupancy
of
a
what
the
chief
called
the
transient,
we
see,
we
see
a
three
times
economic
value
multiplier.
They
spend
more
money
in
the
economy
and
more
money
in
the
community.
Every
time
they
go
out
into
the
community
than
a
long-term
resident
of
a
hotel.
So
there's
a
huge
benefit.
O
That's
three
and
a
half
times
more
of
a
benefit
to
biloxi
than
using
it
as
an
apartment
complex,
so
that
that
argument
is
futile
at
best.
But
this
one
as
we've
seen
all
of
these
apartment
complexes
come
before
us
and
we've
we've
approved
and
denied,
and
I
don't
think
we've
had
one
that's
come
with
a
unanimous
decision
or
unanimous
support
from
the
planning
commission
and
is-
and
it's
because
this
one
rightfully
so
fits
the
criteria
that
we've
espoused
is
important
to
the
city
of
biloxi
for
passage.
So
I'm
in
full
support.
That's
all!
J
J
J
O
J
O
J
Market
forces
that
apply
it's,
but
no,
I
said
I
wouldn't
go
there,
so
I
won't
go
there.
So
I
think
I
think
we
can
look
forward
to
more
apartment
complexes
being
flipped
to
short-term
rentals,
certainly
more
units,
but
also,
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
we're
looking
at
entire
complexes
going
that
route
and
based
on
what
the
fire
chief
said.
That
creates
a
lot
of
safety
issues,
because
the
construction
is
a
little
bit
different.
J
I
believe,
if
I
understood
you
correctly,
chief
so
and
that's
why
I
say:
maybe
if
nothing
else,
we
should
either
not
approve
this
or
table
it
and
give
this
a
little
further
thought
into
the
future
and
plan
for
how
we're
going
to
make
this
transition.
It's
coming
could
be,
could
be.
A
couple
of
months
could
be
a
couple
of
years,
but,
based
on
what
I
heard
it's
coming,
looks
like
we're
going
to
have
more
discussion,
always
a
good
sign.
L
P
L
E
G
E
E
A
A
When
it
comes
to
apartment
complexes,
isn't
there
some
kind
of
language
that
only
allows
a
certain
amount
of
units
within
a
complex
to
be
turned
into
into
short-term
rentals?
No
sure
is
that
condominium,
so
that's
removed
yeah.
So
that's
no!
Okay!
That's
all!
I
have
on
that
and
then
mr
boning
do
whenever
you
say
that
this
could
affect
our
fire
rating.
So
would
that
be
affected
simply
on
the
merit
that
we
approved
short-term
rentals
in
apartment
complexes,
or
would
it
have
to
be
because
of
incidents
that
occurred?
Because
of
that.
P
That's
right
it
simply
because
you
approve
a
short-term
rental.
Doesn't
that
will
not
affect
it
and
and
most
probably,
if
you
did
like
this,
it
wouldn't
affect
it
a
small
number,
but
when
you
get
into
a
full
complex
and
these
inspections
are
reviewed
by
the
state,
if
it
shows
they
are
that
these
buildings
were
apartment
complexes
built
for
apartment
complexes,
but
now
are
short-term
rentals
being
used
as
short-term
rentals.
P
I'm
sorry
a
hotel
in
an
apartment,
complex,
the
difference
is
in
the
codes
they
are
considered
and
jerry.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
they're
considered
a
transient
occupancy
r
correct.
These
are
required
to
have
fire
alarms,
okay,
both
detectors
and
and
sprinkler
systems
in
them
right
right.
That's
what
I
said:
fire
alarms
the
smoke
detectors
in
the
rooms
and
fire
suppression
system
smoked
it
up.
So
a
sprinkler
system.
L
A
F
A
Q
Issue
so
I
went
back
and
looked
at
okay,
short-term
rental.
The
title
came
out
with
our
land
development
ordinance
in
2010.,
so
it
was
listed
as
a
use
in
there,
but
it
really
didn't
become
an
issue
until
about
2015,
and
I
was
going
back
through
the
records
the
other
day
where
we
had
had
a
lot
of
our
discussion
about
short-term
rentals
in
20,
the
latter
part
of
2014
and
just
about
all
of
2015..
N
Q
Q
It's
when
we're
taking
an
existing
structure,
and
that
was
built
under
a
code
and
in
this
case
these
particular
apartments
were
built
in
1974,
so
they
were
built
under
a
much
inferior
code.
Now
the
the
general
part
of
that
is,
if
we
have
an
apartment
complex
where
people
are
having
to
walk
long
distances
to
get
to
an
exit
to
get
outside
the
building.
Q
Q
Q
Now
the
the
complex
is
not
sprinklered,
which
it
wouldn't
have
had
to
have
been
back
in
1974,
but
the
two
units
come
directly
out
into
a
breezeway
that
immediately
comes
out
into
the
open,
which
is
one
of
the
things
most
my
department,
the
fire
department,
have
to
consider.
How
long
does
it
take
for
someone
in
there
in
the
event
that
there's
an
emergency?
How
long
does
it
take
them
to
get
out
of
the
burning
building
and
out
to
a
public
way?
Q
And
in
this
particular
case
both
of
the
units
are
on
the
bottom
floor
and
they're
probably
15
feet
from
being
totally
outside
the
building.
They
also,
all
both
of
the
units
have
patio
doors
that
serve
as
a
secondary
means
of
egress
to
get
out
too.
So
you,
the
discussion,
we've
had
so
far,
seems
to
be
to
lump
everything
in
together.
But
one
of
the
reasons
it's
important
to
look
at
this
as
a
conditional
use
application
is
because
you
can
take
the
specifics
of
each
particular
unit
and
the
way
that
it's
been
presented.
Q
L
Q
The
code
assumes
the
the
the
building
code
in
the
fire
code
assumes
that
a
person
who
lives
in
an
apartment,
complex,
is
familiar
with.
The
exits
is
familiar
with
the
path
of
travel,
the
means
of
egress
to
get
to
the
nearest
public
way
coming
outside
the
building.
I'm
talking
about
short-term
rentals,
which
is
a
hotel
I'll
get
to
that
now.
Q
Okay,
it
assumes
that
the
people
that
come
to
stay
there
are
not
familiar
with
the
means
of
egress
and
not
familiar
with
the
quickest
way
to
get
to
the
means
of
egress,
so
the
requirements
for
a
hotel
are
a
lot
different
and
just
just
to
correct
something
that
was
said
a
while
ago,
city
council
didn't
vote
to
remove
the
sprinkler
requirement
from
apartments.
What
the
council
voted
to
do
was
to
remove
the
requirement
for
conduit
for
metal
conduit
going
into
an
apartment
complex,
so
buildings
still
have
to
be
sprinklered
when.
Q
A
I
have
one
other
question
which
isn't
relevant
in
this
situation,
but
just
to
clarify.
If
someone
did
come
forward
and
request
to
rezone
an
entire
unit
to
short-term
a
complex
to
short-term
rental,
would
they
not
be
required
to
bring
it
up
to
that
code?
To
have
it
sprinkled
to
have
the
the
alarm
system
to
have
the
exit
signs
and
all
that
if
it
was
an
entire
unit
versus
one.
Q
Q
If
someone
either
comes
in
with
a
set
of
plans
or
someone
comes
in
to
convert
an
entire
complex,
then
we're
going
to
take
what
we
call
the
existing
building
code,
which
covers
building
code
requirements
and
fire
code
requirements
and
we're
going
to
apply
all
of
the
safety
features
that
we
can
to
that.
So.
Q
To
make
them
pull
the
sheetrock
off
the
walls
and
go
in
and
redo
everything
inside
of
there,
and
I
think
that's
what
joe
was
kind
of
alluding
to
a
while
ago,
it's
very
very
difficult
to
take
an
existing
building
that
was
built
under
a
previous
code
and
bring
it
totally
to
the
code
that
we
have
adopted.
Now
too
many
things
have
changed
since
then,
and
now.
Okay,
all
right.
N
N
Q
You
look
at
if
you
look
at
the
map.
That's
in
your
packet.
There
are
four
large
buildings
that
make
up
the
perimeter
of
the
property
in
the
inside
in
the
in
the
courtyard
area.
There's
a
swimming
pool,
then
there's
the
leasing
office
to
the
west
of
it,
and
then
there's
this
one
building
that
has
eight
units
in
it.
N
That's
the
first
thing,
and
if
you're
going
back
to
taking
an
apartment,
you
can
you're
not
going
to
take
an
apartment
and
turn
it
into
what
we
need
to
do
with
the
fire
department.
You
can't
do
that,
like
you
said
that
you
talked
about
after
10
and
30
down
and
start
all
over.
That's
why
they're
doing
what
they're
doing
so
they
don't
have
to
sprinkle.
They
don't
have
to
do
these
things
and
they
take
them
one
at
a
time
to
do
it.
So
I
mean
that's,
that's
the
problem
you
have
doing
it
is.
N
You
know
everybody
made
a
solid
jesus
with
two
apartments
that
all
by
themselves,
they're
not
there's
eight
of
them.
So
it's
going
to
happen.
You're
gonna
have
eight
of
them
before
you
blink.
Looking
for
the
same
thing,
that's
that's
the
other
thing.
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
what
robert
said.
Thank
you,
jerry.
Okay,
I
don't
know
where
you
got
the
three
and
a
half
times
the
money.
You
can't
tell
me
anybody's
gonna
bring
more
money
than
somebody
that
lives
in
the
city
blocks
it
for
a
whole
year
that
ain't
gonna.
N
You
which
wait
a
minute,
let
me
let
them
interrupt
you,
you
come
up
38,
I
don't
know
where
that
come
from
three
and
a
half
times
whatever
somebody
else
spent.
I
don't
believe
that
at
all
because
it
had
not
affected
our
tax
rules.
If
that's
the
case,
and
we
have
348
short-term
rentals
and
over
half
of
them,
don't
even
account
for
the
city
of
blockchain
they're,
not
even
in
the
city
of
boxing.
The
taxes
goes
to
the
gupport.
It
goes
to
north
carolina.
N
O
Me
finish:
okay,
but
you
didn't
cut
me
off.
You
know
about
me,
so
a
person
that
lives
in
an
apartment
for
a
whole
year
versus
somebody
that's
in
the
apartment
for
two
days
anecdotally,
when
I
go
somewhere
on
vacation
and
I'm
staying
in
a
hotel
for
two
days,
I
go
out
every
day
into
the
environment
and
spend
money.
However,
when
I'm
here
at
home
I
may
go
out
once
on
the
weekend,
but
all
the
other
five
days
I
sit
at
home
and
I
don't
spend
money
in
the
economy.
O
N
O
You
want
to
look
at
my
food
bills
compared
to
my
restaurant
bills,
because
if
I
go
to
the
grocery
store-
and
I
buy
food
to
cook
for
two
weeks-
it's
much
cheaper
than
going
to
a
restaurant
every
single
night,
which
I
would
do
if
I
were
in
somebody's
hotel
or
house
on
vacation
anyways-
think
what
you
want
to
think.
I
have.
I
have
facts
on
my
side.
G
G
G
If
you
visit
my
property
at
this
moment,
you
will
see
that
those
two
units
they
has
been
just
in
pals
for
more
than
for
more
than
one
year
approximately,
and
that's
the
only
building
where
we
have
these
are
the
two
beds.
Two
baths
they're
really
hard
to
get
rent
for
us.
So
we
just
see
this
as
an
opportunity.
You
know
to
offer
something
because
of
our
location
and
and
well
to
see
if
we
could
get
it
work
or
basically
that's
what
move
us
towards
it.
J
N
L
J
Yes,
there
you
go
question:
aren't
these,
isn't
this
complex
being
renovated?
Currently,
yes,
would
it
be
possible,
then,
if
because
we're
talking
about
fire
codes
and
so
forth
on
these
two
particular
units,
is
it
possible,
during
this
renovation,
to
meet
the
higher
code
requirements
that
the
police
chief
was
concerned
about.
G
If
it
is
required,
if,
if
what
we
have
at
this
point,
we
are
missing
something,
then
I
think
that
it
will
be
possible
for
us
to
try
to
work
it
out.
As
I
mentioned
those
unit,
we
have
four
that
has
been
for
more
than
one
year.
I've
been
here
in
biloxi
almost
three
years
and
I'm
not
going
to
lie
to
you
the
unit
61
and
the
unit
67
I
came
and
it
have
not
been
rented
since
then
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
thought
about
maybe
just
transition
to
something
else.
J
J
G
Correct
we
have,
we
have
two
of
them
that
is
already
fully
renovated.
I
was
listening
clearly
to
the
requirements
that
he
was
mentioning
and
I
think
that
basically,
the
only
thing
that
we
will
be
missing
maybe
will
be
the
sprinklers.
It
would
be
because
that
was
something
that
we
were
not
aware
of,
and
we
I'm
not
going
to
lie
you
I
didn't
know
it
was
required,
but
we
we
tried
to
follow
up.
A
A
We'll
now
move
to
the
consent
agenda,
I
have
a
request
to
go
to
executive
session.
I
need
a
motion
and
a
second
to
go
into
closed
session
for
the
purpose
of
examining
the
necessity
to
go
into
executive
session
to
discuss
personnel
matters
all
in
favor.
We
have
a
first
by
mr
tisdale
second
by
mr
glavin,
all
in
favor
all
opposed
mr
okay.
Six
to
one
with
mr
deming
opposed.
A
We
have
the
first
by
mr
tisdale
second
by
mr
glavin
that
the
council
conclude
the
closed
session
and
reconvene
as
an
opening
meeting.
All
those
in
favor
all
opposed
six
to
one
with
mr
glavin
and
mr
deming
in
opposition
council
member
tisdale
council
member
guys,
second
of
that
that
the
council
going
to
executive
session
all
those
in
favor
opposed
six
to
one.
Mr
deming
will
now
go
into
executive
session.

Q
Q
Q
Trust
this
is
it
the
house
is
wide
open
and
that
there
are
homeless
people
going
in
and
out,
there's
no
electricity
there
and
it's
just
being
used
as
a
shelter.
The
neighbors
are
pretty
upset
about
it.
One
of
them
was
actually
here
and
and
left
during
the
executive
session,
but
what
we're
requesting
right
now
is
to
have
it
secured,
and
since
we've
had
no
one
to
respond
to
any
of
our
email,
our
documentation
certified
mail.
We
may
be
coming
back
later
to
ask
for
demolition.
Q
Q
A
Q
Item
f,
robert
w
and
candace
gambrell
2462
pass
road.
Originally
we
were
bringing
this
case
to
the
city
council
for
securing
the
structure.
I
met
with
the
attorney
that
represents
the
gambrells
about
a
year
ago,
and
he
assured
me
that
they
were
going
to
take
care
of
it.
The
the
carnage
all
the
way
around
the
outside
was
open
and,
and
animals
were
getting
into
it.
Water
was
getting
into
it.
He
assured
me
that
they
would
take
care
of
it.
I've
heard
nothing
from
him
since
and
during
the
hurricane
a
tree
fell.
A
Q
Item
g,
sam
jones,
170,
hannibal
court,
mr
jones
was
here
before
the
meeting
and
there
is
some
question
about
this
particular
tree.
This
has
to
do
with
a
tree
that
fell
across
the
fence,
and
mr
jones
has
raised
a
question
about
whether
or
not
it
was
his
tree
or
not.
So
I
would
ask
for
some
time
for
us
to
go
back
and
just
verify
that
the
tree.
