A
G
Mckeithen
dedicate
his
life
to
the
job
his
community,
he
lost
the
tragic.
His
loss
is
a
tragic
reminder
of
the
dangers
of
police
officers
face
daily
in
their
profession,
which
is
to
serve
and
protect
something.
Mckeithen
did
proudly
wear
as
McKeithen
is
remembered
by
his
family
friends,
fellow
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
booth
and
this
community
in
this
community
for
selfless
dedication
and
bravery
and
his
devotion
to
maintaining
peace
and
security
in
our
community
officer,
robert
McKeithen
was
a
fine
Biloxi
police
officer,
who's.
G
G
Okay,
let
me
continue.
Let
me
ask
to
spread
the
travel
card,
expense
to
the
minutes.
Lexy
travel
expense
card
to
the
minutes
we
do.
As
Michael's
mentioned.
We
have
a
couple
of
folks
here
to
help
us
Jason
and
Jamie
with
regard
to
the
trigger
I,
think
we
pulled
or
we're
going
to
pull
with
regard
to
refinancing
operation.
G
Again,
we've
been
in
the
midst
of
figuring
out
how
we
can
move
step
by
step.
I've
provided
a
few
pieces
of
data
that
we've
run.
You
know
the
running
14
day
average
on
where
we
are
as
a
Coast
as
a
Harrison
County
to
figure
out
where
we'll
go
to
the
next
step.
Some
of
those
plans
that
we've
been
engaged
with
was,
of
course,
the
president
Trump's
open
up
America
again
and
the
governor's
directives.
As
far
as
the
the
is
executive
orders
now
I
think
everyone
will
be
receiving
those
preparations
in
the
mail
by
Thursday.
G
So
it's
our
intent
when
the
numbers
roll
out
we'll
take
it
to
the
next
steps,
and
that's
that
some
of
the
numbers
that
we've
been
accruing
represents
the
whole
month
and
half
of
data.
New
new
events
are
new
positives
as
we
go
as
we
roll
through
and
and
I
think.
The
mall
is
open
today
with
about
30
stores.
Right
and
Thursday
is
the
date
on
the
restaurants.
We've
had
you
know
a
number
of
meetings
with
the
number
of
sectors
in
the
in
the
business
community.
G
Some
things
that
may
have
been
not
stressed
specifically,
but
you
know,
I,
know
the
folks
at
the
retail
ends
of
the
ball
game.
The
mall
in
the
restaurants
understand
this
contact
tracing
is
the
big
thing
to
enable
the
ability
for
our
contact
tracers
tools
that
could
be
dropping
out
of
systems
without
an
effort
to
accrue
this
we're
not
asking
a
lot
of
folks
to
do
things
that
cannot
be.
G
You
know
derived
so
the
contact
raises
winner
hotspot
pops
in
again,
they'll
have
a
little
bit
of
tool
to
go
forward
to
actually
isolate
and
bring
those
positives
or
those
contacts
or
possible
positives,
put
them
into
quarantine
mode.
So
we
won't
take
a
major
step
back.
We
don't
have
to
shut
the
whole
industry
down
if
we
can
address
the
the
persons
or
all
places
in
the
cross,
sections
that
a
positive
person
may
have
you
know
encountered.
That's
the
intent,
I
think
the
folks
that
we
did
meet
with
in
the
two
retailer
got
it
understood.
G
Well,
it
needs
to
be
done.
Of
course,
a
big
thing
that
was
made
today
in
today's
a
meeting
with
the
mayor's
teleconference
meeting
was
hair,
salons
and
barbershops,
and
you
know
the
point
that
was
made
when
we
did
have
a
meeting
with
them,
that
that
is
not
what
it
seems
being
shut
down,
causes
back
door
kinds
of
opportunities
to
to
spread
the
virus.
G
If
you
had
any
of
those
in
a
positive
way,
they
would
actually
not
to
not
to
come
and
those
along
those
lines.
I
think
that's
where
to
be
in
a
number
of
places
where
we
could
address
your
influence.
The
opening
I
know
the
restaurants
and
the
churches
are
having
ready
to
to
go
and
I
think
everybody
wants
to
return
to
both
of
those
places
and
that's
about
it.
G
No
now
tell
the
governor
again
in
in
conversation,
that's
what
was
surprising.
Last
week
we
had
conversation
with
the
governor's
office
in
actually
dr.
Dobbs
interacted
with
Mayor
dr.
de
Metropolis
from
Pascagoula.
The
governor
was
at
that
point
in
time
this
last
Friday
hesitant
to
open
up
by
region.
G
You
know
for
the
outdoor,
dining
or
indoor
dining,
so
it
was
a
surprise
when
the
governor
said
you
know,
go
forward
with
the
because
he
had
a
big
spike,
I
think
Sunday.
That
said,
let
me
step
back.
If
that
happened,
Friday
I
guess
was
the
big
anyway.
Basically,
we
were
pleasantly
surprised
that
he
was
able
to
go
forward
with
at
least
the
restaurant
part
of
the
deal,
but
the
barber,
shops
and
salons
are
now
on
the
radar,
the
bars
that
don't
serve.
C
G
Of
the
things
that
popped
out
in
in
you
know
what
the
big
cities
that
like
Atlanta,
you
know,
there's
some
rules
that
they
understood
no
to
blow
drying
so
whatever,
if
anything
was
in
in
the
air,
you
know
it
would
stir
it
up.
So
I
think
that
hold
at
least
in
connecting
with
some
of
the
friends
of
the
friends
no
holiday
Atlantis
guy
has
450.
Beauty
saw
no
blow-drying,
so
that
was
not.
You
know
unheard
of
as
far
as
you
know,
people
want
to
get
in.
G
G
C
G
C
G
Really
wanted,
you
know
if
that
was
talked
about
museums,
people
sign
in
anyhow,
as
a
matter
of
so
some
of
those
reservations,
systems
or
sign-in
sheets
that
were
not
demanding,
but
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
could
reproduce
hey.
Somebody
was
in
your
operation,
who
else
was
in
the
operation
that
timeframe
so.
G
Well,
you
can't
have
all
the
rules,
because
it's
a
moving
it's
a
moving
deal
I
mean
it's
an
adjusted
plan.
So
that's
what
we
tried
to
do
in
releasing
what
we
had
so
when
those
triggers
are
open.
This
is
what
we
have,
but
you
know
it's
a
moving
target.
If
we
find
things
that
we
don't
know
all
the
the
hoops
and
and
and
channels
people
can
take,
and
we've
we've
seen
that
on
the
beach,
you
know,
we've
actually
addressed
I
think
a
couple
places
that
read
something
or
somebody
said
something
in
their
own.
G
C
A
J
E
E
J
E
E
G
E
Pickleball,
especially
there's
there
would
be
no
reason
why
tennis
and
pickleball
courts
couldn't
couldn't
be
open.
Okay,
because
I
mean
you
talk
about
pairs
at
best
playing
twos
and
twos,
and
they're
spread
out
they
tennis
by
Nate
by
nature.
It
keeps
you
spread
out,
put
it
put
a
fence
between
them,
so.
E
J
E
E
So,
to
reiterate
what
the
Mayor
was
saying,
we
we
went
to
for
two
reasons.
We
put
this
thing
out.
We
put
this
out
because
we
wanted
the
proprietors
of
different
businesses
to
know
what
was
coming
and
be
prepared
what
they
had
to
do.
We
also
wanted
the
governor
and
the
governor
staff
to
see
that
we
were
ready,
and
this
has
made
it
up.
There,
they've
got
it,
they
know
it's
Biloxi's
and
we
know
Biloxi's
already
and
got
a
set
of
rules
to
abide
by
so
we're
not
making
it
up
as
we
go
along
I.
F
Today,
as
the
mayor,
would
he
consider
a
social
distance
monitor?
Maybe
for
the
city.
I
know
that
there's
some
areas
that
are
you
know
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
people
working
now
me
a
lot
of
like
stand-in
down
time
so
maybe
consider
training
and,
of
course,
we're
talking.
Proper
training
to
social
distance
monitors.
I
get
a
lot
of
calls
from
different
companies
and
different
groups
like
in
the
park,
at
least
to
give
people
a
warning,
some
kind
of
a
warning
to
let
people
know
that
we
need
to
kind
of
spread
the
south.
F
They
called
me
and
they
expect
me
to
go
and
break
it
all
up.
Well,
you
know,
that's
not
what
I
do
yeah
and
if
we
would
consider
maybe
getting
a
monitor
or
two
that
could
you
know,
scan
the
city
if
they
are,
or
maybe
just
check
out
some
areas
in
it
kind
of
like
a
code
enforcement
to
check
out
areas
that
are
brought
up.
F
G
Don't
have
an
issue
with
that
I
think
the
police
department
has
been
doing
a
fine
job
when
we
give
them
a
heads-up.
As
far
as
you
know,
some
people
jump
the
gun
the
other
days
for
his
retail
and
right
around
the
corner,
and
you
know
it
was
you
know,
kind
of
shut
down.
They
voluntary.
You
know
understood
that
they
thought
that
the
government
said
take
off.
G
F
G
G
You
know
again
what's
important
is
that
we
not
step
makes
a
step
backwards
and
those
kinds
of
incidents,
those
kinds
of
people
that
don't
get
it.
You
know,
and
it's
it's
you
know
no
can
cranny
every
you
know
you
can
see
it
everywhere
and
so,
with
that
I
have
no
problems
with
doing
that.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
take
a
step
backwards
when
it
comes
to
this
new
outbreaks,
all
right,
yeah,
any
hot
spots
right.
F
And-
and
of
course,
you
know,
we
know
the
things
that
are
going
on
around
country's,
so
we
have
have
to
be
very
careful.
Someone
that's
properly
trying
to
deal
with
people
yeah
the
right
way.
I
wanted
an
small
altar
question
about
any
traction
yet
on
of
the
Bowen
Street
sidewalk,
because
that
how's
that
moving
along.
K
Just
two
things:
one
with
it
being
the
anniversary
of
officer
McKeithen,
z',
death,
I
had
I
know,
I'd
mentioned
it
to
to
Mike.
I
talked
to
Connie
about
naming
the
new
library
after
them
after
him,
and
just
if
we
can
I
know
that
we're
getting
close
on
that
building
out
there.
So
we
get
that
finished.
If
we
couldn't,
you
know
make
that
part
of
the
ceremony
to
get
a
plaque
out
there
and
name
it.
The
officer
McKeithen
memorial
library.
I
Is
oh
yeah,
the
the
Mayor
was
talking
about
guidelines
and,
and
councilman
guides
mentioned
a
few
things
related
to
that,
and
so
did
mister
Glavine
sports
facilities.
It
just
brought
to
mind
something
years
ago
that
I
read
that
up
found
pretty
much
to
be
true,
and
there
are
three
reasons
why
things
that
should
get
done,
don't
get
done.
One
is
I
didn't
know.
I
was
supposed
to
do
it.
Okay
and
I'm.
Thinking
of
the
guidelines
that
the
cities
put
out-
and
basically
here
you
go.
I
This
is
what
we
expect
you
to
do:
okay
and
they're
guidelines,
they're,
not
ordinances.
The
next
thing
is
I.
Don't
know
how
to
do
that.
I'd
have
done
it
if
I
knew
how
to
do
it.
Well,
it's
pretty
much
spelled
out
for
you
exactly
what
you
have
to
do
and
I
can
understand.
I
think
most
people
would
understand
how
they're
supposed
to
do
what
we
expect
them
to
do,
and
the
third
reason
that
things
don't
get
done
that
should
get
done
is
I.
Just
don't
want
to
do
it.
D
I
Your
room
right,
but
we're
in
a
situation
as
a
tourist
town
that
we
want
as
many
people
to
come
here
as
possible.
We
want
to
keep
people
as
healthy
as
we
can
not
just
the
people
who
live
here,
but
our
guests
who
come
to
visit
us
and
we're
more
likely
to
do
that.
If
we
follow
those
guidelines,
but
it
can't
be
80
percent
of
us
following
the
guideline.
We
need
everybody
following
those
guidelines.
I
You've
got
to
do
that
if
I
think,
if,
if
you
want
to
have
a
great
place
to
come
and
play
or
work
or
visit
or
gain
or
swim
on
the
beach
or
something
you
just
really
have
to
commit
yourself
to
following
those
guidelines,
they're
all
pretty
reasonable,
I
think
we'd
agree.
My
only
concern
is
and
I've
got
somebody
checking
with
the
Mississippi
Department
of
Health.
Is
this
contact
tracing
I
understand
how
it's
supposed
to
work,
but
I
also
know
that
you
need
people
who
are
trained
as
tracers
and,
of
course,
somebody's
got
to
pay
them.
I
G
On
what
we've
know,
we've
talked
with
Jim
Craig,
who
is
the
governor's
man
with
when
it
comes
to
contact
tracing
not
coming
to
Metropolis?
The
metropolis
has
talked
with
Dobbs
himself
with
Craig.
He
told
us
in
a
telephone
interview
that
they
within
the
department
and
again
keep
in
mind.
Last
week,
governor
Edwards
in
Louisiana
hired
75
contact
tracers
well,
the
state
of
Mississippi
has
95
that
they
pull
from
within
the
ranks
of
the
State
Health
Department,
who
have
regular
jobs,
but
they
have
been
in
a
training
mode.
G
He
said,
they're
gonna
have
to
go
back
to
their
regular
job,
but
that
was
encouraging
that
they
have
95.
We
were
trying
to
offer
these
tools
that
we
could
possibly
have,
and
you
know
they
were
in.
You
know,
they've
never
been
never
thought
of
that.
The
other
thing
is
far
as
contact
tracing
Mayor
Bloomberg
is
in
the
process
of
a
hiring
a
hundred
thousand
of
those
folks
across
the
country.
So
you
know
it's
a
it's
something
that
it
will
be.
G
H
I
On
the
coast,
but
I
just
want
to
really
press
on
the
point
that
we
all
have
a
role
to
play.
Yeah
and
let's
just
play
our
part
well
and
we'll
be
much
better
off
in
the
long
run,
and
you
know
and
I
know
you're,
probably
already
thinking
of
a
knucklehead
who
says
I'm
not
gonna.
Do
that?
Okay,
what
what
they
say
what
they're
gonna
do
they
have
to
put
me
in
jail?
Nobody
wants
to
put
anybody
in
jail.
We
just
want
you
to
do
the
reasonable
thing,
so
we're
all
safer.
That's
all
thank
you
and.
A
G
A
Thing
I
just
want
to
express
my
thought
on.
That
is
that
we
have
other
men
and
women
that
have
fallen
in
the
line
of
duty
and
I
would
suggest
maybe
rename
the
public
safety
building
something
like
the
fallen
officers,
Public
Safety
Building
of
fallen
heroes,
and
then
we
can
memorialize
each
one
of
their
names
on
that
building
as
well.
You
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
families
that
have
suffered
and
auction
McKeithen
family
as
well,
which
is
the
most
recent
other
than
that
down
to
business.
A
H
A
C
E
L
L
In
the
meantime,
mr.
Leonard
was
asking
the
placement
agent
to
find
someone
to
buy
a
refunding
of
stadium
bonds,
which
are
currently
outstanding
at
interest
rates
between
three
and
a
half
and
four
point:
seven
percent,
and
they
have
lined
up
three
buyers
to
refund
those
bonds
and
the
savings
on
that
are
in
absolute
terms,
a
little
bit
over
a
million
and
in
present
value
terms,
I
think
nine
hundred
and
something
thousand
dollars.
So
they
have
done
a
real
good
job.
Getting
that
lined
up.
L
But
the
resolutions
that
are
on
the
table
tonight
are
to
give
us
authority
to
issue
refunding
bonds
to
refund
most
of
the
maturities
of
the
outstanding
state
in
bond
and
to
sell
those
bonds
within
the
parameters
that
we've
talked
about
with
the
last
bonds
and
that
are
required.
Under
the
refinancing
act.
You've
got
to
have
two
percent
net
present
value,
savings
and
I
think
what
they've
negotiated
gives.
H
L
We've
asked
for
the
general
authority
to
negotiate
and
sell
those
bonds
and
to
issue
those
bonds,
but
we've
also
asked
for
the
specific
authority
to
sell
it
to
the
three
buyers
that
they've
lined
up
and
those
commitment.
Letters
are
attached
to
resolution
four
I
believe,
but
if
something
happens
to
one
of
those,
if
one
of
those
backs
out,
we
can
still
go
out
and
find
another
buyer
miss.
L
We
can,
we
can
name
the
banks
that
have
agreed
to
buy
the
stadium
refunding
bonds.
One
of
the
issues
were
having
on
the
on
the
other
deal
is
that
Bank
was
asking
us
to
keep
the
terms
confidential
and
I
explained
to
them.
There
are
very
few
things:
City
Council
can
keep
confidential
and
I.
Don't
think
general
obligation.
Bonds
are
one
of
them,
so
we
need
to.
