A
Welcome,
ladies
and
gentlemen
to
the
city
of
biloxi
inauguration
ceremony,
we're
glad
to
have
all
of
you
here
during
the
course
of
the
program
we're
going
to
acknowledge
everyone
on
the
platform
here
with
us.
But
first
I
would
ask
that
you
please
stand
for
the
presentation
of
the
colors
by
the
city
of
biloxi
police
and
fire
honor
guard
and
remain
standing
for
the
presentation
of
the
colors,
the
pledge
of
allegiance
and
the
national
anthem.
Color.

It
is
our
hope
that
all
these
elected
leaders
will
seek
godly
counsel
and
follow
as
led
by
wisdom
and
an
abundance
of
veracity,
broader
selfish
motives
and
personal
gain.
As
we
pray
lord,
we
invoke
your
divine
presence,
power,
love
and
support
for
these
elected
officials
today
and
every
day
for
the
next
four
years,
these
that
are
charged
with
the
welfare
guidance
and
direction
of
this
great
city
biloxi.
G
In
addition,
we
enlisted
your
mercy,
grace
and
strength
to
inhabit.
Lord
of
god,
influence
their
every
decision.

A
A
A
In
this
country,
under
our
representative
democracy,
ceremonies
of
this
type
demonstrate
a
peaceful
and
orderly
transition
of
power,
typically
from
one
administration
or
one
person
to
another.
Today,
with
the
mayor
and
all
seven
city
council
members
being
re-elected,
your
transfer
of
power
is
from
you
the
voters
to
the
incoming
mayor
and
city
council
with
the
power
of
your
vote.
You
have
given
temporary
oversight
of
the
public
policy
of
this
community
to
these
individuals
on
stage
after
years
of
service.
A
Today,
these
newly
elected
leaders
are
reminded
of
the
responsibilities
of
their
office,
and
with
that
we
begin
the
administering
of
the
oaths
of
office.
We
call
forward
first
ward,
1
council
member
george
lawrence.
The
oath
of
office
will
be
administered
by
the
honorable
beverly
martin,
harrison
county
supervisor
district.

Can
I
get
a
round
of
applause
for
her?
You
know
looking
back
where
my
mother
come
from
all
the
way
from
around
collins.
Mississippi,
never
could
imagine
that
one
of
her
children
would
be
doing
something
like
this.
It's
a
special
occasion
for
her.
This
is
a
the
third
time
that
I'm
coming
up
here,
and
I
just
appreciate
her
being
here
with
me
having
one
of
my
parents
to
witness
a
day
like
this
coming
from
the
times
that
she
come
from,
so
thank
you.
Mama.
J
J
We
continue
to
push.
There
were
days
where
we
were
torn
up
pretty
bad,
but
they
held
in
there
with
me.
There
were
days
where
I
had
to
ride
around
with
chains
in
the
back
of
my
truck
to
pull
people
out
of
the
mud,
but
they
hung
in
there
with
me,
and
here
we
are
eight
years
later
and
in
the
third
term,
they're
still
holding
forth.
So
thank
you.
My
citizens
of
ward
2.

There
were
two
members
of
the
biloxi
city
council
who
did
not
have
any
opposition
in
the
primary
or
general
election,
and
that's
the
first
one
we're
going
to
have
up
here
right
now,
ward,
3,
council,
member
dixie
newman
will
now
come
forward.
The
oath
will
be
administered
by
the
honorable
albert
fountain,
harrison
county
court
judge.
L
D
M
M
A
O
O
O
Well,
I
apologize.
I
did
not
prepare
a
speech
for
today
and
a
wise
man
in
the
back
row
told
me
that
no
one
remembers
today,
they'll
remember
what
you
don't
do
the
next
four
years,
and
so
when
I
look
back
at
the
last
eight
years
of
all
the
things
we've
accomplished,
I
don't
think
people
will
remember
a
lot
in
the
next
four
years,
but
we've
had
three
terms
now.
This
will
be
the
third
term,
third
time's
a
charm
right
and
the
mayor's.
O
O
Thank
you
guys
for
believing
in
me
and
the
rest
of
us
for
three
terms,
with
the
exception
of
a
couple
council
members,
and
if
anything,
if
this
is
an
example
of
what
we
have
to
come,
the
thing
I
look
forward
to
the
most
is
the
short
and
sweet
george
lawrence.
That
was
that
was
the
best
I've
ever
heard.
A
D
P
P
P
I
appreciate
and
support
the
confidence
of
residents
in
ward
5
and
without
that
those
of
those
outside
of
ward
5
as
well.
If
you
call
me,
I
call
you
back.
If
you
email
me,
I
email
you
back
I'll
continue
to
keep
you
informed
with
my
weekly
e-newsletter
and,
if
you'd
like
to
receive
it.
Just
let
me
know
it
truly.
Is
a
pleasure
and
an
honor
to
serve
our
city
and
you
all
thank.
A
R
R
God
wow,
you
know
a
few
months
ago
we
were
wondering
if
we
could
either
even
have
a
meeting
like
this
and
it's
really
exciting.
To
start
a
third
term
with
my
colleagues
on
the
council
and
the
mayor
and
all
the
work
that
is
above
is
is
before
us.
R
You
know
it's
so
glad
that
we
have
to,
or
we
don't
have
to
anymore,
hear
the
term
mask
up
mis
mask
up
biloxi,
but
come
this
mardi
gras
we're
going
to
be
masking
up
and
having
the
biggest
celebration
that
biloxi
has
ever
seen.
I
guarantee
you.
R
And
I
also
you
know,
I'm
blessed
to
have
my
grandchildren
today,
all
four
of
them
emerson,
the
croatian
kid
he's
ten.
I
have
oliver
he's
four.
My
son
just
recently
moved
back
to
biloxi.
I
knew
it
took
him
a
long
time
to
get
back
here,
but
he
just
moved
back
with
two
wonderful
grandchildren,
sailor,
louise.
R
R
My
in-laws
john
and
gloria
compton
they've
been
a
rock
in
our
life
and
yeah
I'm
blessed
to
have
them
in
my
life.
I
can't
tell
you
the
countless
times
that
I've
depended
on
them
and
they've
steered
me
and
had
my
compass
right
without
them.
I
don't
know
where
we
would
be.
R
I
really
don't,
and
I
do
have
a
couple
special
guests
in
the
audience,
but
before
I
recognize
them,
my
kid's
sister
sheree
is
here
with
her
husband,
randy
she's
been
my
kid's
sister
she's,
whether
it's
politically
or
religiously
or
philosophy
or
whatever.
She
is
there
to
kind
of.
Tell
me
look
no
you're,
not
quite
right.
You
need
to
be
here
not
there.
So
I
thank
her
for
that.
She's,
a
beautiful
beautiful
person.
R
And
I'm
going
to
acknowledge,
there's
two
guests
over
here:
they're
sitting
right
here
in
the
second
row,
michael
and
gene
ross
child
and
I
just
met
them
recently.
I
was
campaigning.
I
got
a
call
on
my
phone
and
I
said
who
is
this
and
I
answered
it.
He
introduced
himself
told
me
to
come
over
to
his
home.
That's
in
my
ward
and
I
went
over
there
and
visited
with
them
and
found
out.
R
R
You
know
people
ask
me
the
you
know
this
time.
I
was
running
third
campaign.
You
know
who
are
you
running
against
and
my
answer
is
quite
simply,
I'm
not
running
against
anyone
I'm
running
for
someone
and
that
someone
is
you
and-
and
I
take
that
very
seriously.
All
of
us
do.
You
know
this
is
my
third
term
and
for
y'all
to
support
me
and
you
know,
give
me
the
confidence
to
serve.
R
I
take
that
very
seriously
in
the
days
and
the
months
and
the
years
ahead,
it's
time
for
biloxi
to
be
bolder.
It's
it's
time
for
you
to
challenge
every
council
member,
every
mayor
that
you
want
more
that
you
want
the
best.
We
should
not
settle
for
less,
and
I
assure
you,
this
council
and
myself
and
the
mayor
we're
going
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
we're
going
to
be
bold,
we're
going
to
give
you
all
we
got
and
biloxi
is
going
to
be
better
for
it.
So
thank
you
again.

I'm
about

S
S
Well,
I
was
going
to
take
those
other
councilmen's
time,
but
I
guess
kenny
did
that
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
my
lord
and
savior
jesus
christ
and
each
of
you
for
being
here
today.
It
seems
like
yesterday
that
we
were
on
the
stage
at
the
singer
being
sworn
into
office
for
the
term
that
we
are
now
completing.
S
I
would
like
to
thank
the
residents
of
ward
7
for
entrusting
me
with
the
opportunity
to
continue
to
serve
you.
I
love
our
community
and
I
will
continue
to
work
passionately
for
all
of
you
at
our
last
inauguration.
I
made
a
statement
that
you
are
only
as
good
as
the
people
that
are
surrounding
you
now
even
more
than
then.
I
find
that
statement
to
be
true,
I'm
blessed
to
have
an
amazing
support
group
in
my
life
to
my
family
and
friends.
S
Many
of
you
who
are
here
today,
thank
you
for
your
love,
your
support
and
your
rock
solid
friendship,
mom,
dad
bobby
daryl.
Thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done,
and
everything
that
you
do.
We
love
you
to
my
two
sons,
braden
and
baylor,
I'm
proud
of
both
of
you
guys.
I
love
you.
I
couldn't
ask
for
better
sons
and
I
will
always
be
your
biggest
fan,
my
wife
wendy,
the
smartest
most
beautiful
and
strongest
woman-
that
I
know
I'm
lucky
and
blessed
to
do
life
with
you
and
I
wouldn't
have
it
any
other
way.
S
S
Some
highlights
in
ward
7
is
that
we've
built
our
first
city
park,
which
is
nearing
completion
installed
our
first
stretch
of
sidewalk
on
a
public
road
with
more
just
around
the
corner:
expanded
fire
protection
by
adding
fire
station
number
10
on
the
east
end
of
the
ward
and
added
much
needed
water
and
sewer
service
to
multiple
areas.
We
completed
a
major
drainage
project
bought
property
and
a
building
which
was
remodeled
and
expanded,
and
now
houses
a
new
library
and
community
center
and
we've
repaved
multiple
roads
throughout
the
ward.
S
I
would
like
to
thank
my
fellow
council
members,
mayor
gillich
and
his
administration
for
working
with
me
to
make
all
of
this
happen
without
everyone's
help
and
support.
None
of
this
would
have
happened.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
connie
rocco
beverly
martin
and
the
harrison
county
board
of
supervisors
for
partnering
with
us
on
several
of
these
projects,
as
well
as
representative
casey
erie,
for
working
to
secure
significant
state
funding
to
help
make
the
idea
of
eagle
point
park
become
a
reality.
S
I
would
be
remissed
if
I
didn't
mention
our
amazing
council
clerks
lucy,
who,
just
recently
retired
carrie
michelle
and
now
tanner.
It's
amazing
to
work
with
y'all
and
y'all
do
an
awesome
job.
While
we
have
accomplished
a
lot,
there's
still
much
to
be
done.
Ward
7
is
the
largest
in
biloxi,
and
it's
rapidly
growing.
We
must
work
hard
to
keep
up
with
that
growth,
as
well
as
meet
the
needs
of
our
current
residents.
S
Many
wish
that
they
could
live
here,
but
we
are
blessed
to
call
biloxi
the
greatest
city.
There
is
home.
I
am
honored
to
have
the
opportunity
to
serve
this
great
city.
We
have
a
pass
to
be
proud
of
a
present
to
embrace
and
a
future
that
should
bring
hope,
excitement
and
optimism
to
us
all.
I'm
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
that
future.
Thank
you.
God
bless
you
and
god
bless
biloxi.

Now

move
to
the

I
call
forward
to
administer

A

T
T
T
T
T
We
both
need
and
ask
our
good
lord's
guidance
to
move
biloxi
into
the
future
the
right
way
and
as
he
would
wish
we're
honored
to
hear
today
to
bishop
james
black
from
the
faith,
tabernacle
praise
and
bishop
lewis
kinnaman
from
the
catholic
diocese
of
biloxi.
Thank
you
both.
Please
continue
to
remember,
biloxi
and
its
citizens.
In
your
prayers
and
after
the
past
year,
I
can
attest
prayer
works.
T
T
Welcome
to
biloxi,
I'm
sure
colonel
heather
blackwell,
your
predecessor,
what
a
very
special
relationship
in
history,
keisler
and
biloxi
enjoy
welcome
as
well
to
all
our
keisler
cousins
joining
us
today,
colonel
hunter.
I
bet
you
just
didn't
know
that
when
the
time
comes,
you'll
choose
to
retire
in
biloxi.
T
T
T
T
T
Most
importantly,
please
join
me
now
in
recognizing
and
acknowledging
the
600
plus
employees
of
the
city
of
biloxi
who
meet
the
challenges
of
and
reach
for,
the
goals
of
biloxi
each
and
every
day.
Luck
sees
many
things
and
almost
all
of
them
good,
many
of
them
great.
Our
goal
is
to
make
each
and
every
one
of
them
greater,
even
greater.
T
T
T
Make
no
mistake
together,
we'll
always
stand
up
for
biloxi
and
we
like
to
give
peace
a
chance
right.
You
know
it's
a
little
scary,
but
over
the
past
years,
we've
grown
to
know
each
other
and
how
each
other
will
act
and
react
in
different
situations
like
on
a
football
team,
and
the
council
is
the
defensive
line.
T
T
These
are
exciting
times
in
biloxi.
Extraordinary
progress
has
been
made
on
many
transformational
projects.
You
see
new
boardwalks
walkways
and
streets
next
big
project
up
for
completion
is
the
vision
street
improvements
along
with
the
new
keisler
main
gate.
We
hope
to
see
billions
of
dollars
more
in
development
in
the
near
future.
T
Recently,
you've
heard
me
say:
maybe
on
tv
or
whatever
it
was,
we
we've
accomplished
a
lot
of
things
in
the
past
six
years,
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
the
best
is
yet
to
come,
and
I
truly
believe
that
let
me
update
my
remarks
that
I
made
in
the
last
state
of
the
city
about
gaming
and
sales
tax
revenue,
and
this
is
not
for
you.
This
is
people
who
join
us
in
the
world
wide
web,
the
google
world
and
those
other
things.
I
want
to
say
some
things.
There's
pretty
strong
things
here.
T
T
The
record
sales
tax
month
was
in
20
august
2016,
1.24
million
april
2021
sales
tax
revenue
hit
1.22
million,
and
in
may
2021
revenue
was
1.16
million.
Never
before,
as
the
state
sales
tax
exceeded
1
million
in
back-to-back
months,
that's
pretty
good.
It's
now
worth
repeating,
numbers
don't
lie,
and
everyone
needs
to
draw
their
own
conclusions,
no
matter
where
they
came.
T
However,
they
got
here
from
wherever
they
came.
The
fact
is
they
got
here.
The
result
was
great
and
we
expect
them
back
in
the
future.
We've
always
said
and
proclaimed
that
if
a
visitor
comes
to
biloxi,
once
our
product
will
sell
itself,
they'll
be
back
I'll
close
by
saying
the
one
great
thing
about
biloxi
is
that
we
are
a
diverse
community.
T
T
T
A
U
U
And
usually
the
mayor
gives
us
a
a
little,
whereas
in
the
city
when
he
comes
to
visit
us
and
I'm
going
to
give
this
benediction
to
the
mayor
at
the
end-
and
it's
not
a,
whereas
it's
so
aware,
is
where
is
and
we're
in
biloxi.
So,
let's
pray,
we
bless
you,
o
god,
and
we
praise
your
name
in
your
merciful,
providence.
U
You
sent
your
son
into
the
world
to
free
us
from
the
bondage
of
sin
by
his
own
blood
and
to
enrich
us
with
the
gifts
of
the
holy
spirit
before
he
returned
triumphant
over
death
to
you
father.
He
sent
his
apostles,
the
bearers
of
his
love
and
power,
to
proclaim
the
gospel
of
life
to
all
peoples
and
in
the
waters
of
baptism
to
cleanse
those
who
believe.
U
A
A
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
want
to
thank
the
three
branches
of
government
on
our
stage
tonight.
We
want
to
thank
all
of
supporters
in
the
audience
all
the
family
members
and
with
that.
This
concludes
our
program.
We're
going
to
bring
the
lights
up
a
little
bit.
There
are
refreshments
in
the
back
of
the
room.
Thank
you
all
for
being.
