To
our
policy
agenda,
we're
substituting
item
4b,
ordinance
pertaining
to
section
216
and
311
of
the
code
of
ordinances
to
our
consent
agenda.
We're
adding
5g
resolution
to
authorize
the
mayor
and
city
council
to
execute
funding
for
the
city
of
biloxi's,
consolidated
consolidation
plan
and
2020
action
plan
for
the
cdbg
program.
H

B
Mr
mayor
and
thank
you,
mr
president,
and
I
join
you
and
welcome
everybody
to
our
meeting
2021
january.
Let
me
pass
on
what
we
were
concerned
with
a
few
weeks
ago.
Was
the
declaration
of
emergency
declaration
that
the
declaration
that
would
cover
us
for
public
assistance
and
that
has
been
signed
and
our
steps
are
to
we've
incurred,
probably
four
or
five
million
dollars
worth
of
expenses
with
debris
and
damages
from
zeta.
B
It
will
be
the
process
of
support,
submitting
our
data
to
the
fema
portal
and
to
be
processed
through
mima
and
fema,
and
so
that
has
begun
and
along
those
lines
we
all
know
how
fema
works
with
regard
to
pay
the
bill,
get
the
check,
send
it
off
get
reimbursed
and
so
part
of
our
plan.
All
along
was
to
have
a
cash
flow
mechanism,
and
I
think
that's
in
the
works
too,
to
have
a
credit
line
of
up
to
10
million
to
carry
us
through
that
cash
flow
period
that
we're
going
to.
B
Certainly
the
experience
you
know,
two
things
that
were
we
would
be
looking
forward
to
in
addition
to
the
normal
katrina.
Claims
would
be
our
covert
claims
that
will
eventually
come
through
fema
and
also
this
hurricane
reimbursement.
So
it's
it's!
It's
good
that
we
were.
You
know
we
got
that
declaration,
so
we
can
move
on.
I
think
we've
I
think
we've
got
some
folks
here
that
we've
been
counting
the
debris.
B
I
think
we're
up
to
260
000
cubic
yards
of
debris
that
has
been
removed
and
again
all
of
it
the
things
that
we've
been
tracking
and
reporting
on
will
be
submitted
and
hopefully
that
that
cash
flow
and
and
the
the
reimbursement
will
will
come
within
a
year
or
so
I'm
sure.
But
again
we
have
gotten
some
competitive
rates.
B
As
far
as
you
know,
the
credit
line,
if
we
think
our
first
bill
will
be
about
1.5
mike,
I
think
that's
right,
1.5
million
to
our
crowd
of
gulf,
and
so
those
things
will
start
to
flow
and
we'll
pay
these
vendors
in
a
timely
manner
and
then
get
reimbursed,
hopefully
in
a
timely
manner,
and
I
think
that's
about
well.
Let
me
let
me
also
say
I
think
this
week,
they've
started.
B
B
Anyhow,
that's
clean!
That
pretty
much
concludes
the
report
from
my
side,
but
I'm
gonna
invite
at
this
point
in
time
the
our
leader
of
the
united
way
of
south,
mississippi,
kathy
springer
to
come
up
and
deliver
us
a
little
information
on
covid
the
pandemic
as
well
as
zeta.
So
it's
over
to
you
kathy.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
You
so
good
evening,
everyone-
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
address
this
council
this
evening
about
the
work
that
your
united
way
united
way
of
south
mississippi
completed
and
the
ongoing
work
that
we
have
continuing
on
due
to
the
covet
pandemic
and
to
hurricane
zeta,
but
united
way
of
south
mississippi,
has
responded
and
is
still
responding
to
two
disasters
within
the
last
year.
The
covet
19
pandemic
and
hurricane
zeta.
Your
united
way
has
not
stopped
working
since
the
onset
in
our
communities.
I
To
date,
your
united
way
has
put
358
thousand
dollars
into
front
line
community
agencies
for
the
rapid
response
to
individuals
and
families
affected
by
cobit
19
to
address
direct
needs
due
to
disruptions
loss
of
jobs,
significant
changes
to
services
and
other
consequences
associated
with
the
with
the
covet.
Many
families
have
no
support
system,
no
safety
net
and
no
plan
b.
I
We
have
been
more
than
pleased
to
collaborate
with
the
gulf
coast
community
foundation,
with
many
of
our
grants
and
your
united
way
and
the
foundation
partnered
to
bring
three
mobile
food
pantries
to
biloxi,
hancock,
county
and
wiggins,
serving
1100
families.
When
we
collaborate
with
the
foundation,
our
grants
go
even
further
immediately
following
hurricanes
at
a
united
way
of
south
mississippi
and
the
community
foundation
worked
at
the
direction
of
mr
rupert
lacy
and
matt
stratton
at
the
harrison
county
emergency
management
agency,
forming
the
response
and
now
the
long-term
recovery
committee,
our
staff
and
they're.
I
Here
this
evening,
sitting
behind
me,
along
with
them
two
mema
reservists
working
in
our
office,
took
over
1700
work,
orders
for
volunteer
assistance
from
individuals
and
families
right
here
in
our
own
community.
Getting
volunteers
into
our
market
has
been
a
tough
job
this
year
with
the
pandemic
and
the
competition
honestly
from
the
wildfires
and
the
other
storms
in
the
area.
I
Many
of
you
are
familiar
with
our
signature
program,
such
as
pre-k
forward,
where
we're
serving
184
year
olds
in
pre-k,
getting
them
ready
to
go
to
kindergarten
next
year.
They
are,
they
will
be
reading
when
they
leave
our
pre-k
program.
We
offer
dolly
parton's
imagination
library
in
this
market,
which
is
free
to
families.
We
have
over
1200
children
enrolled
in
the
library
it's
free
to
families.
Your
united
way
picks
up
the
bill
at
over
forty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
We
believe
in
reading
and
literacy
for
every
child.
I
This
month
we
honor
dr
martin
luther
king
jr,
each
january
we
embark
on
a
diaper
drive.
You
would
be
surprised
how
many
families
cannot
afford
diapers,
it's
a
great
expense
to
families.
We
collected
thousands
of
diapers
last
year.
We
expect
that
we'll
do
the
same
this
year.
They
go
right
out
to
frontline
agencies
and
I'm
sitting
here
thinking
about
more
community
house,
because
they
are
a
recipient
right
in
our
backyard
here
in
biloxi
of
those
diapers
it.
It
is
like
a
sack
of
money
when
you
give
a
family
a
bag
of
diapers.
I
We
offer
a
prescription
savings
card
and
tax
assistance
to
seniors
through
the
irs.
I
want
to
leave
you
with
one
story
this
evening,
and
this
happens
to
us
all
the
time
a
family
shows
up.
This
is
a
real
story,
a
mom,
a
dad
and
two
kids.
They
came
down
to
the
gulf
coast
for
a
job
that
didn't
pan
out.
They
had
less
than
40
dollars
living
in
the
car
couldn't
get
back
to
corinth,
mississippi
had
nowhere
to
turn,
but
they
know
what
united
way
can
do
immediately.
I
I
I
So
all
of
these
no
money
changed
hands
out
of
your
united
way,
but
those
are
the
things
that
we
can
make
happen.
We
managed
to
find
the
mother
and
the
oldest
daughter
employment.
The
father
got
a
temporary
job
for
the
weekend
and
the
youngest
child
enrolled
in
school,
so
those
are
just
some
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
at
united
way.
I
I'm
very
very
proud
that
the
city
of
biloxi
allows
us
to
campaign
in
the
city
offices,
the
city
employees
do
support
your
united
way
and
I
hope
that
we're
there
if
they
ever
need
a
helping
hand,
it's
not
a
sin
to
ask
for
help
and
and
so
we're
there
to
help.
I
appreciate
the
leadership
through
a
most
unusual
year
by
this
city
by
my
city.
I
B
D
D
J
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
First
I'd
like
to
thank
the
administration.
We
had
a
request.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
debris
in
the
city,
but
in
one
particular
road
on
wells
drive.
There
was
two
boats
along
with
various
debris
piles,
so
the
teams
that
are
removing
the
debris,
those
residents
on
bay,
cove,
condominiums
and
savannah
estates
and
the
north
haven
subdivisions
certainly
recognized
it
and
there's
a
lot
of
gratitude
for
that.
The
other
thing
I
just
want
to
touch
on
this
evening.
J
He
walked
in
my
dad's
shop
one
summer
and
I
was
working
on
the
side
and
dad
was
working
on
the
other
side
of
the
shop
and
he
looked
at
me
and
you
know
kind
of
like
a
coach
would
look
at
a
player
and
he
looked
at
my
dad
and
said
we
need
him
and
they
walked
in
the
office.
He
didn't
come
back.
My
dad
walked
back
out,
said
you're
going
to
play
football
for
coach,
but
those
three
words.
J
We
need
him
resonated
a
lot
and
when
his
daughter
called
me,
that's
the
first
thing
that
came
to
mind
and
you
never
know
what
effect
somebody
is
going
to
have
on
someone's
life.
But
coach
had
that
effect
on
a
lot
of
coast
boys
that
he
gave
a
chance
to
play
a
sport
that
we
loved,
but
he
taught
us
how
to
win
off
the
field
as
well,
and
he
did
a
lot
of
great
things
in
the
community,
not
just
in
his.
You
know
he
won
a
national
championship
for
southern
miss.
K
Yes,
first,
I
want
to
thank
walt
rode
up
and
down
division
street.
I
like
those
lines,
they're
they're,
coming
out
pretty
good.
I
just
got
to
get
the
white
ones
in
and
we'll
wrap
that
up.
I
encourage
the
council
to
talk
to
the
mayor.
A
female
rep
called
me
today
and
he
wanted
to
do
a
a
workshop
and,
of
course
they
can't
travel.
So
he
was
asking.
K
K
I
need
to
might
probably
get
with
you
about
their
routes,
because
they're
missing
the
mark
on
some
areas,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
cover
the
areas
that
they're
supposed
to
cover,
I'm
having
calls
from
the
same
people
over
and
over
about
them,
passing
by
missing
them
and,
of
course
around
the
neighborhood.
Pretty
good,
and
I
haven't
seen
them
so
it
behooves
you
to
at
least
if
we
can
get
a
schedule
from
them
of
where
they're
going
and
what
roads.
So
we
make
sure
that
they
don't
miss
the
mark.
L
Councilman
the
best
thing
for
you
to
do
for
me.
It
would
help
me
to
help
you
is
to
give
me
the
addresses
that
you're
getting
the
calls
from,
because
you
know
we
they're
not
they're,
not
giving
us
a
route
they're
just
saying
we're
working
in
the
ward
and
we
find.
Sometimes
there
are
streets
that
they
just
miss
and
for
no
apparent
reason.
They
just
for
some
reason,
miss
certain
streets
and,
if
you'd
give
me
those,
I
think
we
can
target
them
into
those
neighborhoods.
M
L
Well,
now
it's
up
to
our
wreck
parts
of
rex
director,
as
well
as
tom
and
diane
dion,
who
are
sitting
back
here
behind
me.
They
they
will
be
on
the
phone
to
the
defense
company
tomorrow,
trying
to
get
get
the
it's
now
between
us
and
the
fence
company
to
try
and
get
them
in
before
this
next
big
event
will.
M
M
No
one
was
hurt,
just
a
little
bit
of
metal
metal
was
twisted
up,
but
the
officer
that
came
out,
I
think
it
was
a
benton
officer,
benton
younger
guy
he's
he's
been
here
for
almost
three
years
from
gaucher.
He
did
a
great
job.
The
way
he
interacted
with
my
daughter
who
was
crying
and
terrified,
and
in
the
other
party
it
was.
It
was
a
piece
of
art,
and
so
I
know
gauche
didn't
train
him
that
well,
so
thank
you
for
doing
a
great
job
with
him.
M
L
M
Good
then
you're,
the
temporarily,
the
right
guy
for
the
job.
I
had
a
couple
projects
that
were
that
were
set
up
to
to
go
into
motion,
but
it's
been
postponed
numerous
times
because
of
zeta
and
some
covet
issues
and
different
things.
Is
there
any
way
you
can
get
me
an
update
on
when
we'll
potentially
get
the
the
lane
delineators
on
pops,
ferry
road
and
the
sidewalk
project
for
sun-kissed
country
club,
road.
M
M
B
H
H
My
brother
just
thought
you
like
to
have
that
low
information.
You
know
what
happened
with
george
is
terrible.
You
know
we
had
a
couple.
Other
people,
eugene
helsi,
worked
with
the
the
police
department,
fire
department
and
we
had
hank
rodgers,
who
used
to
work
for
the
city,
also
passed
away
from
the
covenant.
So
it's
been
pretty
bad.
H
L
Is
about
three
weeks
probably
about
three
weeks
and
at
that
point
we'll
be
on
our
own,
with
our
own
trucks
and
and
it'll,
hopefully,
they'll
gotten
the
worst
of
the
stuff
one
of
the
unique
things
I've
noticed
in
the
first
two
days
now
since
they've
been
back,
the
ratio
of
construction
debris
to
vegetative
debris
has
changed
in
the
beginning.
They
had
12
trucks
and
only
one
truck
was
doing
construction
debris
because
most
people
had
not
got
their
fences
and
broken
boards
anything
else
out
to
the
street,
so
they
were
mostly
doing
vegetative.
L
As
of
yesterday,
I
was
looking
at
the
percentage
and
they
were
doing
about
65
construction
debris,
35
percent
vegetative,
so
that
tells
you
that
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
the
lambs
and
the
trees
and
stuffed
out
and
now
we're
still
getting
a
lot
of
the
stuff.
That's
taken
people
to
get
get
to
the
street
the
fence.
You
know
the
fence.
Contractors
have
been
running
behind
schedule,
trying
to
replace
everybody's
fences,
so
people
are
starting
to
get
debris
out
to
the
street
now
and
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
that
kind
of
debris.
H
B
L
H
B
H
B
B
That's
a
you
know,
I
think
that's
a
18
by
18
concrete,
but
as
as
of
today
in
talking
with
some
of
the
concrete
people,
the
that
the
cost
is
getting
very
close
to
one
another,
so
it
used
to
be
a
big
difference
between
wood
and
concrete,
so
we're
hopeful
that
that
may
give
us
some
flexibility
with
mima
and
fema
to
do
some
mitigation
and
actually
go
forward
with
a
better.
You
know
set
of
materials
that
we
can
go
forward,
rebuilding
that
we
built.
I
think
we've
rebuilt
that
pier
three
times
since
katrina.
H
B
You
know
our
pitch
is
to
let
fema
you
know
if
they
just
give
us
the
money,
we'll
build
what
we
need
if
it
costs
us
15
or
20
percent
more,
but
they
won't.
Even
let
us
do
that.
So
it's
actual
cost,
and
you
know
they
they
pretty
have
been
pretty
stringent
on
replacing
what
you
had
not
what
you
should
put
back.
So
that's
our
pitch
and
that's
what
we'll
we'll
press
forward
to
give
us
some
some
reasonable.
B
You
know
ability
to
to
do
something
that
will
last
and
not
rebuild
every
time.
We
we
catch
a
storm
and
the
same
thing
with
the
underground
wiring.
We
have
an
opportunity
on
to,
as
the
the
south
contract
rolls
out
to
do
some
underground,
wiring
and
that
would
mitigate
you
know
every
time
something
happens
with
the
aerial
stuff.
B
B
L
M
L
Of
getting
female
funding
for
for
those
for
that
piece,
and
so
and
we'll
do
that
we'll
do
that,
but
we
won't.
We
will
do
that
as
one
of
our
project
worksheet
projects
here
very
soon.
Actually
we
won't
have
to
wait.
That's
not
a
big
ticket
item
and
we
probably
won't
have
to
wait
for
reimbursement
to
get
started
on
that.
One.
We've.
B
Also
had
some
conversation
with
regard
to
those
services,
those
boxes
on
traffic
signals.
I've
had
some
conversations
with
the
folks
at
mdot.
They
may
be
raising
that
also.
So
if
it
was
up
five
or
ten
more
feet
than
the
lights
that
went
out,
you
know
in
this
in
zeta.
Maybe
would
not
you
know
do
that.
So,
looking
at
every
angle,
so.
L
L
They
will
be
projects
like
the
roof
of
the
the
visitor
center
or,
like
all
the
damage
to
the
mgm
park
or
the
damage
to
the
elevator
at
the
point.
Cadet
marina
will
be
probably
30
or
40
of
these
projects.
That
we'll
put
together
estimate,
put
do
some
engineering
in
some
cases
and
submit
those
all
to
meema,
so
they
could
be
approved
as
project
eligible
projects
and
at
that
point,
we'll
then
be
authorized
to
go.
L
Do
the
work
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
do
the
work
means
also
get
out
our
checkbook
and
pay
for
it,
hopefully
with
our
line
of
credit
and
then
submit
for
reimbursement,
reimbursement
probably
comes
60
to
90
days
after
we
pay
for
the
work
so
that
that's
what
you're
going
to
see
over
the
next
six
to
nine
months?
Is
this,
and
and
no
city
in
the
in
the
country
has
done
this
more
often
than
we
have
so
we
know
the
drill.
B
I
think,
in
looking
at
some
of
the
emails
clayton
french
from
mema,
it's
going
to
decided
to
be
our
coach
on
on
things
that
need
to
be
in
place
as
we
roll.
But
then
the
january
30th
is
a
is
a
deadline
for
us
to
to
move
through
the
applications
in
at
the
high
level
and
then,
as
mike
said,
develop
the
detail
that
make
up
what
we're
going
to
be
asking
for
reimbursement
so
that
process.
B
D
B
D
Would
add
to
that
just
expand
a
little
bit
in
mml's
latest
publication.
That's
one
of
the
projects
they're
working
on
is
a
golf
cart,
ordinance
statewide.
So
I
don't.
You
know.
The
session
is
not
going
to
be
over
until
the
end
of
march
first
week
in
april,
but
apparently
there's
you
know
something
moving
forward
and
something
bubbling
up
there
so,
but
but.
H
D
N
N
N
I
appreciate
it
also
with
the
debris
situation.
Not
only
that
litter
has
just
it's
been
atrocious,
especially
around
mcdonald
avenue,
with
the
tracks
and
on
irish
hill
terra
lane.
I
mean
it
is
just
it's
phenomenal
how
terrible
it
is.
So
I'm
asking
that
even
perhaps
city
vehicles,
if
you're
passing
by
and
you
see
litter,
help
out
because
I
know
public
works
is
trapped
right
now,
but
it's
just
atrocious.
No.
B
L
D
Anything
else
miss
newman
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
have
no
report
that
brings
us
to
the
public
agenda
and
citizens
comments
will
allocate
up
to
45
minutes
total
with
three
minutes
allotted
per
speaker
when
you're
recognized
if
you'd
come
up
to
the
table
here,
sign
in
with
your
name
and
address
and
also
state
your
name
and
address
to
be
sure
that
the
clerk
has
this
down
in
the
minutes
at
this
time.
If
there's
anybody
seated
at
the
desk,
we'll
let
him
speak.
O
Okay,
I'm
harold
bowman
currently
reside
268
dewey
circle.
I
have
a
petition
here
strictly
for
you,
mr
guys,
petition
sign
for
the
residents
of
dewey
circle.
It
reads
as
follows:
drivers
come
through
this
area
like
it's
a
race
track
with
disregard
for
children,
elderly
that
live
play
and
work
walk
pets
in
the
area
to
reduce
the
risk
of
casualty,
request
a
four-way
stop
sign
at
the
intersection
of
dewey
and
state
street.
O
We
also
asked
to
see
the
speed
reduced
from
25
to
15.
With
some
excuse
me.
Children
at
play
signs
posted
as
well
I'll,
be
all
honest
with
you.
When
I
was
going
around
having
this
petition
signed,
they
would
the
residents
were
like.
We
would
like
all
the
intersections
a
four-way
stop
because
they
just
fly
through
there
like
it's
like
it's
a
racetrack,
but
of
course,
we've
all
agreed
that
this
is
the
most
dangerous
intersection
and
which
is
also
a
school
bus.
Stop
as
well,
and
that's
all
I
have.
E
D
D
F
D
D
I'll
move
it
second,
it's
a
motion
by
mr
glavin
and
a
second
by
mr
lawrence,
because
this
is
one
of
the.
This
item
was
substituted,
just
to
be
clear,
because
there
was
a
little
excitement
out
there
on
on
salaries
and
so
forth.
The
salaries
are
proposed
to
remain
the
same,
and
this
will
be
up
for
a
second
reading
at
our
next
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting.
So
there
really
is
no
salary
increase
if
approved.
D
H
Is
the
polling
place
out
there?
This
is
one
in
your
reward.
Felix
ward,
two,
the
senior
citizen,
is
one
of
them
they're,
moving
it
there
to
the
one
in
bayview
and
talk
to
beverly
today,
and
she
won't
know
the
date
so
I'll
give
her
the
dates
april,
6th,
the
27th
and
june,
the
8th
and
she
said:
she'll-
have
them
close
the
day
before
too.
H
If
you
want
to
go
there
and
set
them
up,
but
then
if
they
had
to
run
off
to
anything,
so
you
had
the
fifth
and
the
sixth
the
26th
to
27th
and
then
june,
the
seventh
and
eighth.
So
anyway,
that's
what's
when
you're
working
with
the
county.
You
know
she
did
that.
I
think
kenny
talked
to
her
too
about
all
that
yep.
So
it's
a
good
thing.
So
that's
pretty
much.
What
we're
doing
with
that.
J
The
only
thing
I
want
to
follow
up
beverly
also
mentioned
that
she
is
creating
through
no
expense
from
anybody.
So
she's
got
some
federal
dollars
for
a
phone
bank
to
be
able
to
contact
senior
citizens
and
check
on
them
and
make
sure
that
we're
supporting
them.
If
there
is
a
need-
and
I
believe
in
the
back-
there's
some
an
area
in
this
senior
citizen
facility
that
is
available
for
that.
D
H
P
P
So
that's
sort
of
the
the
incentive
for
people
to
to
pay
these
past
debts.
We
don't
have
anything
really
any
real
plan
to
roll
anything
out
immediately,
but
to
get
into
this
program.
This
is
the
we
needed
to
amend
our
ordinance
to
allow
for
a
hearing
for
someone
if
we
send
them
that
letter
and
they
can
test
the
debt.
P
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
have
a
proper
hearing
to
make
sure
that
they
are
the
right
person
and
that
they
to
verify
that
they
do
owe
that
debt
there's
another
resolution
that
we
tabled
last
week
that
actually
allows
us
to
enter
into
the
contract
with
the
municipal
intercept
company,
which
is
sort
of
a
branch
of
the
mml,
the
municipal
league
and
and
at
present
they
they
are.
The
only
company
that
is
in
this
intercept
program
through
the
state
and
the
counties
have
similar.
P
P
Well,
you
could,
with
code
enforcement,
we
have
the
mechanism
to
put
it
on
the
tax
rolls
and
they
have
to.
When
someone
pays
their
taxes
or
gets
sold
in
a
tax
sale,
we're
paid
off
then
so.
Code
enforcement
and
those
special
assessments
are
not
really
an
issue.
It's
an
issue.
We
have
some
people
at
the
port
where
we
took
judgments
again
against
in
and
they've
refused
to
pay.
We've
got
a
few
some
old
traffic
debts
that
people
are
may
or
may
not
be
around.
H
J
I
mean
so
to
put
in
a
little
bit
more
simple
terms.
I
think
so
the
ordinance
just
creates
the
the
ability
to
put
this
in
place,
and
then
the
other
resolution
basically
is
just
saying
that
we're
going
to
hire
a
third
party
to
assist
with
this,
this
new
procedure
that
we're
putting
in
place
correct-
that's
right,
okay,
well
said
I
don't
have
anything,
that's
it
any.
M
So
a
person
that
has
a
vested
interest
in
collecting
this
debt
is
there
before
going
to
arbitrate
the
validity
of
the
debt.
I
have
a
problem
with
that.
The
one
thing
that
I
think
would
overcome,
that
is,
if
we
added
an
appeal
provision
here,
I
didn't
see
that.
How
would
somebody
appeal
the
decision
of
this
hearing
officer
of
the
city
of
biloxi
when
they're
challenging
a
debt
to
the
city
of
biloxi.
P
P
Are
you
this
person?
You
know?
Did
you
incur
this
debt
to
verify
that
I
just
felt
having
someone
from
our
department
do
that
we
would
be
better
served
to
know
that
it
was
a
valid
debt
rather
than
just
someone
rubber,
stamping
these
things
checking
with
other
cities.
I
mean,
I,
I
think,
the
from
what
I
hear
most
cities
they've
sent
out
15
or
20
of
them.
They've
probably
had
somebody
show
up
once
but
and.
J
M
B
P
That
right,
that's
probably
most
of
it's
gonna,
be
traffic
court
where
they
already
have
a.
We
have
a
judge's
finding
of
that
that
it
has
been
adjudicated.
But
I
think
we
could
add
that
sentence
in
if
they're,
if
someone's
dissatisfied
they'd
have
so
many
days
to,
I
guess
either
go
to
the
count,
no,
probably
not
to
go
to
the
council,
probably
just
to
file
something
in
in
county
court.
M
D
D
D
O
D
L
And
one
thing
I
would
add
to
what
you
just
discussed
is
the
background
for
why
we're
doing
this.
When
I
first
looked
worked
the
budget
four
years
ago,
we
were
budgeting
a
million
dollars
a
year
in
court,
fines
since
then
it's
continued
to
drop
and
drop
and
drop
in.
Let
collection
collections
are
running
below
400
000
for
the
year,
so
we're
below
half
of
what
we
were
just
four
or
five
years
ago,
collecting
money.
I
I.
L
D
H
P
Us
in
the
long
run
right
it's
a
pending.
It's
a
pending
decision
from
our
chancellor
saying
what
poor
commissions
have
the
power
and
what
cities
and
counties
what
powers
they
do
have,
and
we
don't
really
have
any
reported
decisions
on
that
and
it's
subject
to
appeal.
But
I
think
it's
a
very
it's
a
very
good
position.
I
mean
helpful
opinion.
P
It
says
what
we
felt
all
along
is
we
don't
need
permission
to
repair
our
peers
or
we
don't
need
a
toddling's
lease
to
go
out
and
do
work
in
our
own
harbors,
and
so
it's
something
I
felt
like
it's
it's
appropriate
to
spread
that
on
our
minutes,
just
in
case
it
tries
to
get
un
undone
or
untaken
away
through
some
future
settlement.
Something
like
that.
P
F
D
H
D
D
D
It's
a
6-0
vote
for
the
clerk,
and
now
there
being
no
further
discussion
on
the
consent
agenda
items
we'll
deal
with
the
rest
of
this
agenda.
All
in
favor
all
opposed
that's
a
6-0
vote.
There
are
no
exceptions
other
than
tabling
that
one
item
all
right.
That
brings
us
to
code
enforcement
hearings.
Mr
creel.
