From YouTube: Ward 4 meeting, March 2020
Description
Here is unedited video of Robert Deming's Ward 4 meeting conducted Thursday, March 24, 2020, at the Donal M. Snyder Sr. Community Center.
B
Welcome
to
the
ward
4
town
hall,
I'm
robert
deming,
I'm
your
councilman!
Thank
you
guys
for
coming.
I
know
that
the
award
lines
changed.
Not
everyone
was
aware
of
that
and
and
unfortunately,
the
gis
systems
weren't
updated.
So
invitations
didn't
go
out
to
our
new
set
to
our
new
areas.
Now,
if
you,
if
you're
familiar
with
the
new
ward
lines,
they're
very
similar
to
the
old
war
lines,
although
we've
added
some
areas,
we
lost
a
little
bit
but
added
a
whole
bunch
more.
B
If
there's
any
questions
about
the
bridge,
I'd
love
to
hear
them
now,
right
now,
the
issue
has
basically
been
resolved.
There
won't
be
a
toll
bridge
we've
passed
on
that
option.
We
are
moving
towards
a
rehabilitation
process,
we're
going
to
spend
some
money
to
fix
repair
and
upgrade
the
mechanisms
on
the
current
bridge.
So
that's
that
put
a
lot
of
people's
mind
at
ease.
B
Secondly,
drainage
drainage
is
a
huge
issue
and
I've
been
following
up
on
some
of
the
issues
that
we
found
during
the
during
the
campaign,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
haven't
been
addressed
yet
with
public
works.
Of
course,
manpower,
economy,
covert.
All
that
stuff.
All
excuses
aside.
We
are
making
sure
that
I'm
following
up
on
those
and
making
sure
that
we're
addressing
them
so
those
those
issues
if
they
have
not
been
addressed
that
were
on
my
list,
will
be
addressed
along
with
more
now
some
direct
updates.
B
B
We
can
modify
and
upgrade
with
some
engineering
to
remove
some
rainwater
fast
or
so
your
drainage
works
a
little
better.
Now
we
have
the
administration
who's,
not
here
tonight,
unfortunately,
but
we'll
be
able
to
get
another
update
from
them
in
just
a
couple
months
when
they
are
out
here.
They're
they've
sent
the
engineers
out
there
to
assess
the
situation,
and
I
think
it's
a
very
optimistic
outlook
for
that
area.
Now.
B
B
It
won't
be
an
increase
in
debt
servicing
for
the
city
at
all,
it'll,
be
feasible
and
and
and
financially
sufficient
to
to
redo
some
of
the
parks
and
and
some
drainage
and
some
roads
and
doing
some
of
this
stuff
is,
is
really
directed
to
drainage
and
runoff
into
these
neighborhoods.
So
we
can
help
assist
the
removal
of
that
water
at
a
faster
rate
which
will
benefit
all
of
us.
C
Hello,
everyone,
as
councilman
demick,
said
you
know
some
of
the
things
we're
looking
at
with
the
pops
ferry
fields,
just
looking
at
some
improvement
there
and
just
continuing
to
work
on
the
pickleball
facility
that
we
have
on
pops
ferry
it
is.
We
had
our
senior
games
out
there
for
the
state
organization
last
week
and
it
was
just
it
was
a
wonderful
turnout
with
over
200
participants
came
in
from
all
over
the
area,
so
we're
really
excited
looking
at
some
different
options
out
there
at
this
pickleball
court.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
now,
what's
exciting,
when
I
talk
to
some
of
the
organizations
and
the
pickleball
groups
as
we
move
forward
and
we
expand
on
our
pickleball
facility,
we've
got
some
pickleball
courts
in
other
areas.
The
city
now
hiller
park
there's
going
to
be
some
eagle
points,
but
we're
going
to
be
able
to
fill
it
to
facilitate
some
some
national
tournaments,
bringing
a
lot
of
new
people
into
biloxi,
which
of
course
brings
a
lot
of
money
in
and
helps
us
finance
a
lot
of
the
repairs
and
renovations
that
we
need.
B
We
talk
about
this
every
meeting
and
in
every
town
hall
about
the
the
infrastructure
for
west
biloxi.
It's
the
oldest
infrastructure
left
in
the
city
that
hasn't
been
updated
and
it
desperately
needs
to
be.
I
know
if
the
administration
was
here.
They
would
tell
you
about
about
our
long-term
plan
to
address
the
infrastructure
here
in
biloxi,
but
I've
got
mr
krill
here,
who
is
the
director
of
of
community
development,
he's
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
what
we've
got
going
on
in
the
city.
D
Hello,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
number
of
things
going
on
in
the
city,
a
really
a
lot
of
projects
that
are
happening
right
now,
I'll
run
through
some
of
them,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
update,
of
course,
we're
universal
music
everyone's
wanting
to
know
what's
happening
with
the
broad
water
we're
essentially
waiting
on
them.
D
The
renovations
are
continuing
on
the
old
josette's
building
downtown
to
create
some
residential
units.
There
they're,
also
building
a
new
location
for
phillip,
will
phillips
right
next
door.
So
if
you
wondered
what
that
building
is
right
beside
it,
that's
what
that's
going
to
be
is
that
that
restaurant,
that
right
now
is
across
from
beau
rivage
will
be
moving
up
there.
D
We
recently
opened
ground
zero,
downtown
demolition.
Work
has
started
on
the
large
bark
building
at
the
corner
of
howard
and
raynor,
and
you
know
that's
going
to
be
a
commercial
on
the
bottom
floor
and
they'll
have
residential
above
they're
also
going
to
be
adding
a
certain
section
of
a
third
floor
up
above
that
that
would
also
have
some
residential
units
in
it,
which
is
something
we've
been
trying
to
do.
For
a
long
time.
The
old
wells
fargo
building
downtown
is
going
to
be
converting
to
condos
they're,
actually
painting
the
outside
right.
D
Now
they
still
have
to
go
through
our
process,
but
that's
going
to
be
moving
forward.
We
have
new
owners
for
both
the
edgewater
square
shopping
center
down
the
road
here
where
harbor
freight
tools
and
hobby
lobby
are,
and
also
the
same
developers,
have
bought
the
old
winn-dixie
shopping
center
on
this
end
of
pass
road
down
this
direction,
and
they
have
some
big
plans
for
both
of
those
that
we'll
be
announcing
later
community
bank
has
finished
downtown,
except
for
a
couple
of
minor
things.
D
The
new
main
branch
of
community
bank,
the
senior
theater
renovations,
are
continuing.
We
have
arbor
landing.
Apartments
is
doing
phase
two
right
now,
which
is
going
to
add
a
number
of
units
to
that.
That's
next
to
the
walmart
neighborhood
market,
on
pops,
ferry
road
and
now
they've
gotten
approval
to
do
phase
3,
which
is
directly
behind
walmart
neighborhood
market,
so
that'll
be
starting
very
soon.
D
D
We
have
a
new
subdivision
going
in
on
shriners
boulevard.
It's
called
the
preserve,
that's
going
to
add
another
209
lots
to
our
inventory
of
homes
in
ward
4.
We
have
bertucci
park,
which
was
in
ward
3,
but
is
now
in
ward
4
under
the
new
war
changes
and
and
and
that's
going
to
be,
moving
forward,
you'll
probably
see
a
submission
for
a
subdivision
for
some
houses
to
be
built.
There
16
large
lot
subdivisions.
D
D
We
continue
to
get
questions
about
the
property
right
next
to
t
street,
which
is
on
camp
wilkes
road,
which
is
vacant
right
now
we
have
subdivision
developers
that
are
looking
at
that
property.
We
also
have
subdivision
developers
that
continue
to
ask
us
about
the
the
camp.
Wilkes
property.
That's
been
used
by
the
boy
scouts
for
years
to
develop
that
into
a
single
family
subdivision.
D
D
D
It
will
also
have
an
event
center
in
there
in
addition
to
having
a
number
of
hotel
rooms
so
that'll
be
coming
forward
very
soon.
You
probably
read
recently
about
the
proposal
for
the
two
hotels
on
beach
boulevard
that
will
be
just
west
of
that
white
house
property
that
will
be
going
to
the
city
council
for
consideration.
D
On
april,
the
19th
there's
another
elliott
homes
project
in
east
biloxi,
where
they're
looking
at
some
land
there
to
build
some
single
family
homes,
a
developer.
That
is
a
couple
of
guys
that
partnered
together
one
was
an
engineer.
One
was
a
real
estate
developer,
andy
phelan
and
kenneth
jones.
They
have
a
large
townhome
project
going
in
on
euless
street.
Actually
they
have
two
town
home
projects
going
in
on
euless
street,
which
is
off
of
de
bees
road.
D
They
also
have
a
development
going
that's
going
to
be
going
in
on
beech
boulevard
in
front
of
the
seashore
oaks
project,
town
homes
that
are
there
now
we're
talking
with
a
new
owner
about
the
former
property
where
laquinta
was
going
to
go.
There's
a
new
buyer.
That's
that's
close
to
closing
a
deal
to
buy
that
property.
He's
a
hotel
developer,
so
we'll
probably
see
a
hotel
coming
back
to
that.
D
Also,
you
probably
read
about
the
the
new
houses
are
going
to
be
built
on
south
of
highway
90
and
just
west
of
the
shell
station.
That
should
be
moving
forward
fairly
quickly.
The
go-kart
track
on
highway
90
is
adding
a
zip
line.
So
if
any
of
y'all
are
interested
in
that
that'll
that'll
be
opening
very
soon
and
also
single
family
residential
is
just
off
the
chart.
D
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
for
as
a
community
development
department
and
as
a
city
is,
are
we
getting
development
in
all
of
the
main
areas?
Are
we
getting
single
family
development?
Are
we
getting
multi-family
development?
Are
we
getting
commercial
development?
Are
we
getting
amusement
and
the
answer
to
all
four
of
those
is
yes
we're
getting
development
in
all
of
those
areas,
which
is
a
very
good
sign
for
us,
not
only
that
we've
just
had
the
11th
month,
11th
month
in
a
year
where
our
sales
tax
revenues
has
exceeded
1
million
dollars.
D
D
Some
of
the
other
things
that
we're
doing
in
in
our
department.
Of
course,
we
participate
in
the
national
flood
insurance
programs,
community
rating
system,
where
we
get
awarded
points
for
all
the
efforts
that
we're
making
to
reduce
the
risk
of
flood
damage
in
the
event
that
we
have
another
event,
and
certainly
we
will
have
another
event,
but
biloxi
has
the
best
flood
rating
in
the
state,
we're
the
only
five
on
a
scale
of
one
to
ten.
D
So
right
now,
as
a
result
of
that,
if
you
have
a
flood
insurance
policy
and
you
live
in
the
flood
zone,
you
should
be
getting
a
25
discount
on
your
flood
insurance
premiums.
Because
of
that
rating
that
we
have
also,
if
you
have
building
insurance
depending
on
when
your
your
structure
was
built,
you
should
be
getting
a
four
percent
discount
on
your
building
insurance,
because
we
have
a
a
building
department
rating
of
four,
which
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
state,
the
the
criteria
for,
and
let
me
back
up
a
little
bit.
D
If
you
have
a
flood
insurance
policy
and
you
live
outside
the
flood
zone,
you
should
be
getting
a
10
discount
on
your
flood
insurance.
So
you
need
to
check
with
your
insurance
agent
on
that
we
we
continue
to
take
steps
to
to
do
everything
we
can
to
save
the
taxpayers
money.
The
more
development
we
can
bring
in.
You
know
the
more
revenues
we
build
in
and
cities
operate
off
revenues.
D
B
And
if
you
guys
haven't
been
downtown
lately,
it's
not
just
all
the
new
development
everybody's
reinvesting,
the
half
shell
is
building
out
some
canopies
and
some
space
outside,
because
they're
doing
so
much
business
they're,
actually
putting
in
some
red
brick.
Am
I
correct
that
on
yeah
red
brick
pavers,
which
will
match
our
howard
avenue,
it's
gonna
look
really
good
and
then
martinis
has
got
to
build
out.
I
went
down
there
and
talked
to
a
lot
of
the
owners
and
developers
they're
doing
so
much
by
way
of
renovation
that
that
isn't
even
on
his
list.
Yet.
B
B
We
can't
get
supplies
they're
so
far
behind
and
one
thing
they're
concerned
about
about
another
storm
hitting
so
they're
stockpiling
a
little
bit
to
prevent
emergency
situations,
but
we're
just
not
getting
the
parts
and
the
pieces
in
so
it's
taking
a
little
bit
longer
than
they
expected,
and
we
hoped
I'm
going
to
move
it
over
from
lights
to
the
streets
and
introduce
assistant
chief
d
back
he's
going
to
tell
you
about.
What's
going
on
in
our
ward
with
regard
to
crime
statistics.
E
Thank
you
councilman
good
evening,
everybody,
so
the
report
that
everybody
picked
up
by
the
door.
That's
our
report
for
the
last
90
days
and
over
the
90-day
period
we
took
745
calls
for
service,
resulted
in
72
incidents
of
a
total
of
100
different
offenses
and
made
36
arrests,
the
award's
actually
looking
pretty
good.
E
E
E
E
We
also
received
word
that
the
the
drag
strip
over
in
long
beach
area
they've
rented
that
as
well
as
jones
park
in
gulfport,
so
hopefully
that'll
help
spread
out
our
our
cluster
of
traffic,
a
little
bit
like
in
other
events
like
cruising
and
so
forth.
You
know,
of
course.
In
any
event,
our
main
goal
is
to
keep
the
flow
of
traffic
going
and
keep
people
safe.
E
As
far
as
the
that
first
page,
that
comes
from
our
crime
mapping
program,
we
are
switching
over
to
a
different
program.
We
should
be
going
live,
motorola
flex
is
telling
us
in
april,
so
we
will
have
a
different
link
to
that
crime.
Mapping.
If
that's
something
you
look
at
through
the
city
website
as
soon
as
we
go,
live
and
get
that
going,
it'll
be
published
on
the
website.
You'll
have
easy
access.
E
What
helps
us
do
those
extra
patrols
traffic
stops
in
the
area
which
helps
red
the
reduction
of
crime
next
tuesday
we're
having
our
first
citizens
academy
graduate
that's
a
10-week
program
if
anybody's
interested
as
soon
as
we
get
the
next
date,
we'll
be
publicizing
that
I
encourage
you
to
join
it
essentially,
each
week
it's
about
three
hours,
one
every
tuesday
and
you'll,
hear
about
every
aspect
of
the
police
department,
you'll,
learn
about
every
everything
and
then
at
the
end,
there's
a
vip
program.
It's
a
volunteer
program
if
you
would
want
to
join
that
you're.
E
E
E
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
everything
you
know.
Certainly
when
the
economy
is
better,
you
see
less
crime
but,
like
I
said,
there's
there's
a
lot
a
lot
more
patrol
activities,
a
lot
more
traffic
stops.
I
don't
you
know,
officer.
Visibility
helps
bring
down
the
crime
level
more
people
calling
in
when
they
see
some
suspicious
activity.
That
also
helps
and
then
with
our
camera
programs
that
are
growing.
E
F
A
F
E
G
So
we
do
we
do
track.
Stats
is
the
short
answer.
Okay
and
the
long
answer
is.
Every
every
year
the
department
prepares
a
an
annual
report
of
every
activity
associated
with
the
police
department
in
all
of
its
different
divisions
and
sections
within
the
department,
and
part
of
that
is
the
crime
camera
program,
the
real-time
crime
center,
our
license
plate
reader
program,
which
are
the
lpr
cameras
that
you
may
have
heard
about
in
terms
of
what
type
of
benefit
they
provide
to
the
community.
G
The
way
we
track
our
crime
camera
program
in
terms
of
success,
metrics
would
be
things
like
how
many
cases
that
we've
assisted
with
in
a
given
period
of
time,
and
then
the
number
fluctuates-
and
I
don't
know
the
number
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
it's
usually
in
the
last
year,
was
about
167
felony
cases
give
or
take
directly
benefited
from
our
crime
camera
program.
Now,
where
we
really
made
a
difference
last
year,
is
in
the
recovery
of
stolen
property
in
terms
of
stolen
cars
and
wanted
persons
from
the
tag
cameras.
G
G
G
G
Fuses
is
a
virtual,
real-time
crime
center
service,
but
what
they
can
provide.
You
is
a
mechanism
by
which
that
you
can
share
your
your
your
surveillance,
cameras
on
your
private
property
and
fully
control
yourself,
and
you
can
designate
what
cameras
you
want
to
share
with
public
safety.
It's
very
low
cost.
G
What
we
found
was
our
original
paradigm
of
trying
to
get
the
community
to
partner
with
crime
cameras
the
cost
when
we
compared
that
with
being
able
to
essentially
install
the
network
video
recorder
on
your
on
your
property,
the
cost
was
much
much
lower
and
it
doesn't
cost
you
any
more.
It
doesn't
cost
you
a
service
fee,
it's
a
one-time
fee
right
now.
I
think
the
price
points
all
the
way
down
to
about
two
hundred
dollars
for
a
small
network
video
recorder
that
will
allow
you
to
share
your
video
directly
with
the
police
department.
F
G
Can
if
he
does
it,
it
can,
and
so
it
does
it
in
a
different
aspect.
So,
with
all
of
these
different
companies,
it's
not
just
ring.
You
have
nest.
You
have
blink,
you
have
all
those
these
all
these
services
in
your
home.
Now
they
all
have
their
own
types
of
applications.
That
will
allow
you
to
share
any
one
of
those
video
clips
with
really
anyone.
You
can
post
it
to
social
media,
a
lot
of
them
have
their
own
social
media
groups.
I
know
ring
and
blink
partner
with.
G
I
think
they
partner
with
nest
for
the
neighborhood
app.
I
believe,
if
you've
ever
used,
that
yeah
and
there's
there's
also
the
law
enforcement
neighborhood
app
with
ring
itself,
but
all
of
these
are
different
platforms
that
provide
you.
The
ability
to
share
that
data
with
not
only
your
neighbors
but
also
public
safety
directly.
G
H
G
G
You
put
that
in
your
network,
you
plug
it
into
your
camera
server
or
your
switch
at
the
house
or
your
modem,
and
then
they
will
configure
it
for
you
remotely.
You
tell
them
what
you
want
the
police
department
to
be
able
to
see
and
not
see
so
think
of.
In
terms
of
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
have
their
surveillance
cameras
both
maybe
inside
and
outside.
We
don't
want
to
see
what's
going
on
in
your
backyard,
you
know
at
your
pool.
We
don't
want
to
see
your
patio
where
you're
going
to
have
dinner
at
night.
G
What
we're
interested
in
is
that
data
of
your
driveway,
your
front
yard,
where
you're
capturing
the
roadways,
the
public
access
spaces
in
front
in
front
of
your
properties,
because
it's
not
necessarily
for
your
personal
protection,
which
it
does
enhance.
But
it's
also
about
your
community
awareness,
whereas
your
neighbor
gets
their
car
burglarized
and
you
may
have
caught
captured
the
person
on
video
transiting
back
and
forth
in
front
of
your
house
and
in
most
cases
that's
where
the
police
really
get.
G
G
G
E
All
the
ones
on
highway
90
are
going
to
be
mdot
cameras
and
at
right
now
those
aren't
recorded,
but
to
kind
of
touch
on
what
kat
mora
moran
was
saying
so
like
going
back
to
ring
doorbell
cameras,
the
app
that,
with
the
law
enforcement
app.
We
are
part
of
that.
So
one
of
the
things
we
can
do
is
put
out
push
out
messages
to
individual
communities
and
so
forth.
E
If
need
be,
or
you
can
communicate
with
us
through
that,
but
and
then
also
with
the
fuses.
Let's
say
you
don't
want
us
to
have
access,
you
can
still
sign
up
that
way.
We
know
hey.
You
have
a
camera
in
the
general
area
where
your
cameras
are,
and
then
we
contact
you
if
you
don't
want
us
to
have
access
to
the
camera.
So
there
are
several
different
options,
but
most
of
my
career
are
spent
in
investigations
and
early
on
you
pretty
much
just
had
the
business
cameras.
E
It
has
helped
tremendously
and
identifying
the
suspect,
like,
like
cam
moore
maureen,
said,
might
be
your
neighbor's
house
that
catches
the
person
running
away,
but
we
always
put
out
we
get
the
video.
Sometimes
you
see
it.
It's
like
looks
like
the
the
abominable
snowman
run
away,
and
sometimes
it's
a
good
picture,
but
it's
what
we
get,
but
we
try
to
put
that
out
in
every
attempt
to
identify
the
perpetrator.
E
I
can
tell
you
that
our
resolvability
rate's
gone
up
tremendously
in
property
crimes
nationally.
It's
about
12
percent,
that
property
crimes
actually
get
resolved
and
we're
hovering
around
the
high
20s
to
30
percent
and
a
lot
of
it's
because
whether
it's
community
support
or
the
the
camera
program
that
we're
able
to
identify
the
person
that
did
it
or
recover
the
property.
E
So
his
question
was
about
the
abundance
or
increasing
activity
of
juveniles
in
the
sharon
hills
area
riding
motorcycles.
So
that's
something
that
we
can
put
in
for
action
patrol.
I
can
tell
you
between
motorcycles
and
golf
carts.
We
have
seen
an
increase
in
in
stops
on
kids
in
I'm
I
say
north
biloxi,
but
what
it
used
to
be
north
biloxi
sharon,
harold's
area
and
so
forth,
so
that
that
is
being
addressed,
but
but
I'll
bring
it
to
the
patrol
commander
again.
E
I
A
I
A
I
E
Yes,
sir,
and
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
be
proactive
with
that
to
push
our
program
out
so
that
they
are
following
all
the
guidelines
and
rules
just
like
everybody
else
is
supposed
to
the
like.
I
said
we
have
issued
several
citations,
that's
not
a
cheap
citation
either,
and
it's
the
the
finest
for
every
event
so
like
if
you're
unregistered,
if
you're
unlicensed,
if
you're
uninsured,
that's
three
different
citations,
but
it
is
something
that
we're
trying
to
focus
on,
because
there
are
a
lot
out
there.
It
is
a
relatively
new
program.
E
E
J
J
And
things
trying
to
get
to
the
bridge
and
when,
in
about
45
minutes
I
was
able
to
gradually
from
the
police
department.
Y'all
did
a
great
job.
The
fire
department
did
a
great
job
and
everybody
did
who
worked
it
and
by
the
time
we
could
get
to
the
top
of
the
bridge.
We
could
see
that
there
was
a
vehicle
that
was
ramped
into
the
divider
and
crushed
and
a
car
behind.
J
E
K
And
things
like
that,
and
they
come
flying
around
this
corner
and
a
couple
of
three
weeks
ago.
I
guess
there
were
some
city
engineers
out
there
talking
about
that.
They
were
going
to
pave
the
road
repave
our
road
and
put
the
curbs
up.
So
I
asked
them
about
speed
bumps
because
it's
critical
these
people
and
they're,
even
though
they're
25-mile
limit
and
the
speed
limits
are
not
in
here
there
are
kids
playing
in
that
neighborhood
people
walking
their
dogs
going
to
that
little
park
right
there
behind
the
library-
and
I
mean
it
is
really
bad.
E
You're
already
doing
the
first
step
and
that's
the
petition,
but
first
of
all
I
noted
down
the
location
so
the
what
the
pro
the
way
the
process
is
is
we
have
a
traffic
committee
and
what
we
do
at
the
department
is
we'll
put
it
on
a
list
for
additional
traffic
control
up
there.
In
the
meantime,
hopefully
slow
some
people
down
issue
some
citations
when
needed,
but
we
bring
issues
just
like
that
to
the
traffic
committee
and
and
don't
just
throw
up,
speed,
bumps
or
signs
or
whatever
it
is
change,
speed
limit.
E
E
You
know
you
have
the
first
step
going
the
petition,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
ask
for,
because
by
the
time
you
put
the
speed
bumps
in
which
is
not
very
cheap
and
it's
what
was
that
said,
like
ten
thousand
dollars,
there's
a
set
we
put
out.
That
was
around
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
a
month
later
we
had
to
pull
them
up
because
most
of
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
didn't
want
them.
E
E
E
You
either
do
that
or
you
can
send
it
to
me,
but
we'll
have
that
traffic
committee
we'll
discuss
it
more
I'll,
have
it
on
the
list
for
that
and
look
at
different
alternatives.
What
we
can,
what
we
can
do
to
slow
people
down
in
that
area,
but
that
that's
the
general
process,
if
you
have
a
speeding
issue
in
your
neighborhood,
bring
it
to
us
we'll
get
started
on
law
enforcement
from
the
the
citation
route
and
then
and
then
we'll
go
further
and
see
what
else
we
need
to
do
for
that
area.
L
L
L
L
E
E
Okay,
so
we
do
not
give
tickets
based
on
cameras.
I
know
you've
seen
in
ocean
springs
where
they're
doing
the
no
insurance
tickets.
We
have
no
tickets
given
out
due
to
cameras
so
they're
strictly.
We
have
a
few
tag.
Readers,
like
captain
moran,
said
most
of
them
are
on.
You
know
around
the
entrance
exit
to
the
the
city
and
then
the
rest
of
them
from
most
of
the
parts
just
regular
cameras.
The
only
thing
we're
getting
off
that
camera
is
to
resolve
crimes
where
you
know
we're
not
getting.
E
B
That
was
great,
that's
tough,
to
follow,
but
I
do
want
to
say,
with
regard
to
the
the
bikes,
the
motorbikes
and
and
the
golf
carts,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
administration
to
support
me
on
sending
out
at
least
a
mailer
and
put
posting
on
the
email
and
update
to
the
parents
in
those
neighborhoods
to
to
let
them
know
what
the
laws
and
what
the
punishment
or
the
sanctions
are
for
violating
those
rules.
I
think
that
we
we
need
to
have
better
disseminated
information
for
these
issues.
B
We
pass
these
rules
and
it's
kind
of
confusing
because
they
don't
know
how
to
play
the
game.
Speed
bumps
just
clarify
there
really
isn't
a
budget
for
speed
bumps,
but
it's
in
our
road
and
paving
budgets
if
we
want
to
put
them
there
so
we're.
Actually,
I've
got
the
bids
out
right
now
for
the
paving
on
ravenwood
laurelwood
we've
got
the
contractor,
correcting
the
the
curbs
and
stuff
like
that.
B
B
M
All
right,
thank
you
good
evening.
Two
tough
acts
to
follow.
Those
are
the
two
sexy
departments
in
in
the
city.
They
get
to
tell
you
about
all
the
new
development
and
all
the
fun
crime,
and
all
that
good
stuff.
You
know
so
essentially
the
fire
department
runs
in
the
background
until
you
need
us,
you
know,
and,
and
unfortunately
we
come
at.
You
know
a
bad
time
so,
but
just
to
give
you
kind
of
an
update
on
on
the
department
itself
we're
doing
really
well
on
keeping
our
numbers.
M
We
want
to
always
improve
them,
we're
always
recruiting
you
know
we're
kind
of
like
the
police.
We
if
you've
got
any
children,
grandchildren
that
don't
that
need
a
job,
send
them
our
way.
We're
we're
not
as
as
active
as
the
police.
I
think
y'all
are
sure
what
probably
20
22
they're,
probably
22
short
we're
about
too
short
budget
wise.
Now
we
are
applying
for
a
a
grant
right.
Now,
it's
it's
in
the
mix
to
get
15
more.
M
If
you
remember
back
early
2000s,
when
we
were
annexing
wool
market
and
all
that
area,
we
were
steadily
hiring.
We
were
hiring
15
firefighters
at
a
time
and
we
were
riding
four
to
a
truck
which
really
puts
a
safety
factor.
That's
that's
really.
The
national
standard
is
what
you
want
to
do.
You
go
to
a
big
city.
You
sometimes
see
four
or
five
firefighters
right
now
we're
running
at
three
firefighters
per
truck,
which
we
still
can
get
the
job
done.
Don't
make
don't
make
any
any
worries
about
that
we
still
come.
M
We're
still
gonna
show
up
we're
still
gonna
do
our
job
and
we
can
still
put
out
a
fire
with
the
best
of
them,
but
the
safety
factor
that
that
one
extra
man
adds
because
we
go
in
as
partners,
we're
we're
always
two
people
in
two
people
out
or
more.
So
that's
one
thing
that
we're
we're
we're
seeking
another
15
firefighters.
M
Let's
see
as
far
as
our
our
current
firefighters,
we
have
now
made
it
a
a
requirement
to
to
keep
your
job
when
you
first
hire
on
with
us.
You
one
of
course,
have
to
become
a
basic
firefighter
and
get
through
our
10-week
training,
which
we
do
all
in-house.
Now
we
work
with
the
state
fire
academy
up
in
jackson,
and
they
they
do
the
testing,
but
we
do
all
the
training
ourselves
after
they
get
done
with
that
training.
M
They
can
go
to
our
trucks
and
they
can
do
all
the
firefighting
and
and
the
medical
services,
but
we
also
require
them
to
be
emt
basic
certified,
which
means
that
they've
got
at
least
it's
basically
a
semester
class
at
gulf
coast
right
down
the
street.
But
we
do
that
in-house.
Also,
we've
got
a
partnership
with
gulf
coast
and
the
state
health
services,
and
they
issue
us
a
number
and
we
are
allowed
to
teach
it
because
we
have
also
increased
our
numbers
on
paramedics
and
nurses
on
the
department.
M
M
So
and
then
we
have
our
technical
rescue,
which
is
few
and
far
between,
but
when
those
are
called,
you
know
it's
always
a
a
very
extensive
bit
of
stuff
that
we
have
to
get
together.
So
a
couple
things
we've
got
going
on
in
in
the
department.
Also
we've
got
three
new
trucks.
As
I
said
back
when
we
annexed
wool
market
that
was
around
the
late
90s
early
2000s,
we
had
to
buy
trucks
we
had
to.
We
had
to
outfit
stations
to
cover
those
areas.
M
After
the
annex,
the
lifespan
of
a
of
a
fire
truck
is
20
years.
We're
we're
in
2022
we're
getting
to
the
end
of
the
lifespan
of
those
per
the
the
standards
that
we
we
have
to
follow,
so
we're
buying
three
new
trucks,
in
fact
that
just
got
approved
this
last
council
meeting
tuesday
sitting
at
our
pumper
hall
at
central
is
our
new
air
packs,
the
scba's
that
we
wear
into
fight
fire?
M
M
M
She
did
a
fantastic
job
and
wrote
a
grant,
and
this
grant
was
federally
funded.
Almost
90
percent
of
it
was
federally
funded
and
it
was
over
half
a
million
dollars
to
get
these
air
packs,
so
they
are
going
to
be
on
the
trucks
next
week.
So
we
are
really
excited
about
that.
I've
already
talked
about
the
the
grant
that
we
that
she
also
wrote
for
us
that
we
should
hear
sometime
this
summer
about
the
15
new
firefighters.
M
If
we,
if
we
receive
that
grant,
that
is
a
fully
100
percent
funded
for
three
years.
If
we
hire
15
firefighters,
this
grant
pays
for
their
their
salary,
their
training,
their
their
gear.
Every
piece
of
equipment,
except
for
the
clothes
we
put
them
in
it
covers
everything
for
a
full
three
years,
and
then
the
city
picks
up
the
tab
once
once.
That's
done
so
right
down
the
street
here
station
5
the
bay
vista
station.
As
you
all
know,
it's
one
of
our
oldest
stations.
M
You
know,
since
katrina,
a
lot
of
population
has
moved
off
the
east
end
of
town,
because
the
houses
weren't
there.
Now
this
is
the
busy
area,
so
we
have
placed
another
another
engine
at
that
station
been
running
it
for
probably
about
five
to
seven
years
as
a
two
engine
station
to
cover
all
the
medical
calls
that
we
we
have
out
in
this
area.
M
M
If
we
get
these
15
firefighters
right
now,
I
won't
be
able
to
put
a
fourth
person
on
the
truck
because
we
don't
even
have
a
bed
or
a
room
to
put
them
in
or
or
even
a
table
and
chairs
to
put
them
at
for
for
that,
many
so
we're
hoping
to
get
that
expansion
in
this
next
budget
year,
especially
with
the
with
the
increased
revenue
that
we're
seeing
we're
hoping
that
that
will
help
pay
for
that.
So
hopefully
y'all
see
some
some
good
stuff
happening
there.
M
M
Then
we
put
them
on
the
truck,
so
they
can
get
off
of
the
eight
hour
day
and
they
can
start
working
on
a
truck
and
start
feeling
some
some
shifts,
and
then
we've
worked
it
out
with
the
state
where
they
allow
us
to
teach
the
emt
basic
course
we
we've
had
to
be
redundant.
So
essentially
we
are
teaching
the
same
subject
monday,
tuesday
wednesday,
so
each
person
is
able
to
do
it
shift
work
and
not
have
to
come
off
or
we
have
to
pay
overtime
to
cover
that
so
we've
reduced
costs
there.
M
Let's
see
recently,
we've
just
reopened
our
stations
back
to
the
public.
So
anytime,
you
all
want
to
stop
in
just
chit
chat
with
the
with
the
crews.
Do
a
station
tour.
You
know
we
had
to
shut
them
down
with
covid
and
trying
to
keep
our
numbers
up
because
it
was.
It
was
getting
at
one
point
in
the
early
part
of
covet
in
that
march
april
time
frame.
M
We
have
160
guys
on
the
truck
we
had
25
out
at
any
time
in
about
a
month
and
a
half,
it
was
running
between
about
23
to
25
because
of
cobin
numbers,
and
it
was
outbreaks
at
station.
If
station
five
right
here
had
one
pretty
much,
the
whole
thing
went
down
and
we
had
to
backfill
and
we
had
to
call
people
in.
M
So
you
know
anyway
now
that
numbers
that
are
getting
better
by
all
means
y'all
come
by
and
visit
the
guys
they'll
be
more
than
happy
to
show
you
around
and
chit
chat
and
y'all
can
tell
them
hey.
You
know
this
is
this
is
an
area
you
need
to
watch.
We've
got
possibly
homeless
population
that
are
burning
campfires
in
the
back
and
we
can
always
run
by
and
we
can
relay
it.
We
work
with
the
police
really
well
in
getting
that
kind
of
stamped
out
and
under
control.
M
Let's
see,
I've
already
covered
the
the
basic
emt
and
all
that
is
done
in-house.
A
couple
other
things
that
we're
doing
for
our
recruitment
effort
we're
trying
to
use
we're
trying
to
use
our
ability
to
reach
out
to
the
to
the
young
people
in
the
community,
especially
high
schoolers
or
college
age.
Kids.
That
look.
I
went
to
college
and
I
didn't
know
what
I
wanted
to
do.
The
first
couple
years
I
was
there
18
19
20.
M
M
But
we
are
we're
in
contact
with
biloxi
superintendent,
marcus,
boudreaux
and
and
trying
to
get
in
the
vocational
section
where
we
can
actually
send
our
firefighters
to
the
schools
to
biloxi
high
get
into
a
program
and
then
eventually,
what
we're
looking
at
is
actually
having
emt
taught
that
last
semester
of
senior
year
and
these
these
kids
can
actually
come
in.
Learn
it
and
and
look
they
don't
have
to
come
to
us.
M
They'll
still
have
a
career
right
out
the
gate
and
they
will
be
able
to
go
work
for
amr
or
acadian
over
in
jackson
county.
So
that's
another
thing
that
we're
looking
at
at
doing
other
than
that
just
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I
am
biloxi
born
and
raised,
lived
right,
grew
up
on
greenwood
drive
right
in
tanglewood
subdivision,
you
know
mom
and
dad
still
live
right
there
off
atkinson
road.
M
In
fact,
I
was
there
right
before
I
came
here
and
dropped
off
our
new
puppy,
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
the
fire
dog
he's
he's
the
family
dog,
but
he's
going
to
be
his
name's
blaze.
That
y'all
will
probably,
if
y'all,
follow
biloxi
fire
on
facebook.
He'll
be
cecilia,
has
already
taken
some
pictures
and
he's
he's
he's
learning
right
now,
so
he's
not
making
public
appearances.
M
M
M
Yes,
ma'am,
it's
yes,
ma'am
one
day
on
two
days
off,
so
you
know
it's
it's
a
it's!
It's
an
easy
sell.
Once
you
get
once
you
get
people
to
understand
that
you
know
a
lot
of
these
young
young
guys
and
young
women,
you
go
to
and
they're
like
man,
I'm
not
running
in
a
burning
building
and
I
have
to
reiterate
to
them.
Look
when
I
was
on
the
trucks.
The
last
burning
building
I
went
in
was
really
five
years
ago
and
I
was
going
in
with
some
of
my
good
buddies.
M
M
Yes,
ma'am
and
I'll,
keep
that
in
mind
I'll
make
a
note
and
and
see,
because
our
prevention
division
pretty
much
handles
that
they
do
a
kids
academy
during
the
summer.
That
might
be
something
we
can.
We
can
add
additionally,
well,
I
I
retire
from
the
city.
Yes,
I
am
start
the
summer,
the
program
all
right
we
might
have
to
get
you
back,
come
out
every
time,
all.
B
B
I
toured
a
couple
of
the
firehouses
and
talked
to
all
the
firemen
and
I'd
be
hard-pressed
to
find
anybody
else
that
bleeds
biloxi
more
than
they
do,
but
we
we
identified
some
some
short
comics
and
some
things
we
can
do
in
the
future
to
make
the
program
better.
But
it
is,
it's
run
very
well
great
leadership.
B
People
are
happy
and
looking
forward
to
what
we're
doing
in
the
future
as
we
continue
to
improve
pay
rates
and
and
benefits
for
for
our
employees.
Now
I
want
to
get
to
some
comments
I
want.
I
want
to
remind
you
when
I
spoke
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
I
said
that
I
give
me
one
second
and
I'll,
be
right
with
you.
B
First,
that
I
I
was
going
through
my
checklist
and
followed
up
and
saw
a
lot
of
things
that,
during
the
the
campaign
hadn't
been
done
yet
like
their
carolee
circle,
your
drainage,
it's
still
on
the
list.
If
you
guys
want
to
get
with
me
well
they've
been
out
there
they've
been
out
there
numerous
times.
B
They've
been
out
to
carry
a
few
times,
and
so
I
want
to
follow
to
make
sure
that
they
take
some
action.
We've
had
a
couple
proposals,
a
couple
different
things
that
have
come
across
the
table
for
the
drainage
behind
your
home.
We
actually,
I
think
we
talked
with
jerry's
office
about
some
of
the
fencing
that
was
blocking
access.
B
B
And
I've
got
that
the
lot,
the
dumping
on
the
lot
over
there
at
beauchain
in
a
room
mason
a
lot
of
those
areas,
the
drainage
between
north
country
club
road
and
I
think
it's
rosewood,
coming
out
of
club
of
the
club,
moss
area,
the
the
paving
and
the
drainage
at
a
club
most
circle
on
the
back
end.
There's
a
lot
of
issues
that
we
have
the
drainage
behind
the
oaks,
the
wetlands
oaks.
B
So
I
was
going
through
these
lists
and
reminding
myself
of
of
the
issues
when
I
walked
the
area
and
I
looked
at
all
of
the
work
orders
and
saw
which
ones
were
completed
and
which
ones
hadn't
been
completed,
and
so
we're
going
to
go
through
all
those
again
with
public
works
to
make
sure
that
they
get
addressed.
Like
I
promise
I'll
start
with
you.
N
N
Now
I
have
helped
that
man's
brain
to
help
help
him
try
to
get
that
drain
cleaned
out.
Okay,
now
he
is
starting
to
drain,
and
for
five
years
I've
been
wanting
that
concrete
taken
out
of
that
ditch.
That's
behind
me
that
is
plugging
up
the
niche
and
I've
been
I've
been.
I
don't
know
what
the
phone
number
somebody's
been
reading
them.
I
don't
know
what
they're
doing.
Okay
I'll
give
you
my
phone
number
and
I've
heard
nothing.
N
I
didn't
hear
from
from
the
neighborhood
watch
band
that
said
that
that
you're
gonna,
you
are
gonna,
get
with
the
mayor
and
right
after
right
after
right
at
the
first
year,
you're
gonna
get
in
touch
with
us.
We
heard
nothing.
Okay,
I
got
in
touch
with
him
about
a
week
ago
and
I
said
what's
going
to
happen,
we're
about
to
go
to
that
meeting,
and
he
said
I
have
heard
nothing.
N
N
B
B
So
I've,
like
I
mentioned
this
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting,
that
that
area
there's
a
catch
basin
area,
and
so
I
have
had
leonard
mike
leonard,
the
cao
has
dispatched
his
engineers
out
there
and
we
do
think
we've
identified
something
that
will
help
the
water
run
out
of
that
catch
basin,
which
will
reduce
the
water
accumulating
on
those
roads
and
in
that
area.
So
that
is
something
we
are
doing
and
we're
doing
it
actively.
So
it's
not
that
this
isn't.
N
N
B
N
N
And
at
the
time
when
they
were
removing
the
trees
this
this
tree
man
was
saying
that
he
is.
He
is
working
on
trying
to
get
those
trees
out
through
there
and
there's
one
house
down
at
the
end
and
one
house
at
the
other
end,
but
I
have
counted
I've
counted,
15
houses
that
really
have
bad
brain
problems.
D
B
D
F
A
F
Now
have
55
plus
communities
that
that,
basically,
what
it
is
is
you
got
to
be
55
over
in
order
to
live
within
that
community
and
usually
a
very
small
community.
The
homes
are
a
lot
smaller.
They
come
maybe
2
000
square
feet,
basically,
where
a
lot
of
people
are
retiring
and
they
move
into
these
types
of
communities
and
some
of
them
are
gaining.
D
Most
of
them
are
just
building
houses
and
they
have
them
in
different
affordability
ranges
now,
certainly
I'm
sure
that
they
will
cater
to
anyone
that
can
come
in
there
that's
eligible
to
to
buy
those
and
a
lot
of
these
companies
like
horton
homes
and
dsld
and
those
kind
they
have
their
own
financing
companies,
I
mean
they
will
work
with
people
to
to
either
modify
the
house
to
meet
your
income
eligibility
requirements.
You
know
so
so
they
do
work
with
you
in
that
capacity.
D
Now
the
difference
in
a
a
standard
subdivision
and
a
gated
community-
and
we
get
asked
this
question
all
the
time
you
know
we've
decided
that
we'd
like
to
be
a
gated
community.
We
don't
want
all
this
traffic
coming
through
here.
Well,
it
sounds
good
on
paper,
but
but
when
it
comes
right
down
to
it,
what
does
that
mean?
D
And
you
know
any
any
taxpayer
has
the
right
to
use
it,
but
whenever
you
declare
it
a
a
gated
community
or
a
private
road
and
you
block
it
off,
even
the
garbage
trucks
can't
go
through
there,
so
it
it
sounds
good
on
one
side.
But
what
you're
giving
up
a
lot
of
times
is
is
not
going
to
be
affordable
for
the
people
that
live
in
that
development.
A
D
Right
now,
well,
certainly
we're
open
to
it.
Yes,
and
a
lot
of
our
zoning
would
allow
developments
that
are
like
that.
So
everything
that
we've
done
from
a
city
standpoint
is
is
open
for
that
type
of
development.
We
just
haven't
had
a
developer,
come
to
us
and
say
I
want
to
do
this
and
I
want
it
to
specifically
be
for
55
and
older
and
if
they,
and
if
they
do,
I
may
be
one
of
the
first
in
line
to.
Let
me
ask
you
a
final
question.
F
The
city
seems
to
appear
to
be
moving
forward.
Progress.
We've
got
all
a
lot
of
new
development,
a
lot
of
new
things
that
are
coming,
entertainment,
you
name
it.
I
moved
here
in
2004,
they
talked
about
potts
ferry
river
bridge
they've
been
talking
about
it
for
the
last
20
years
and
I'll
be
here
almost
20
years.
F
Coming
from
another
state,
I've
watched
engineers-
and
I
know-
and
I
know
it's
more
than
money-
it's
something
else.
You
know
it's
it's
cool.
Who
has
the
money,
who's
gonna,
get
the
contracts
and
who's
gonna
be
able
to
build
it.
If
you
get
a
toy
in,
you
got
private
money
comes
in,
they
build
it
and
they
will
build
they'll,
build
it
like
this.
A
D
D
And
let
me
just
say
this:
you
know
as
far
as
contractors
and
that
kind
of
thing,
if
there's
any
other
reason
other
than
money,
I
don't
know
anything
about
it,
because
it
has
always
been
about
money
as
far
as
I've
known
and
and
the
not
only
you
know,
we
had
a
figure
one
time
of
like
75
million
dollars
and
that
has
gone
up
now
with
the
cost
of
everything
else
going
up
now.
I
do
know
that
there's
supposed
to
be
a
meeting
with
some
council
members
and
the
southern
district
highway.
D
Well,
let
me
just
tell
you:
the
mayor's
long-range
vision
is
to
have
a
connector
that
runs
all
the
way
from
highway.
90
all
the
way
up
and
ties
in
with
highway
67,
because
if
you
think
about
it-
and
we
did
a
presentation
before
the
mayor
became
mayor
about
some
things,
that
would
help
economic
development
work
in
the
city
and
if
you
think
about
it
off
of
new
highway
67
you've
got
two
connectors
that
come
down
in
this
direction.
D
To
the
south,
you've
got
605
that
comes
down
into
gulfport,
and
then
you
have
67
that
continues
on
down
and
becomes
I-110
where
you
go
through
the
iberville
before
you
get
to
the
east
end
of
biloxi.
So
in
order
to
help
stimulate
central
biloxi
again,
you
know
we
had
a
lot
of
businesses
that
were
suffering.
You
know,
because
you
know
you
they
had
to
come
this
direction
and
then
turn
this
way
or
go
this
direction
and
turn
back
this
way
even
to
get
to
the
coliseum
and
major
events
like
that.
D
B
D
No,
no,
the
x
the
x
means
that
you're
actually
outside
the
flood
zone,
there
there's
different
categories
for
flood
zones.
Of
course,
you've
got
the
velocity
zone,
which
is
the
most
intense
and,
and
then
we
have
what's
called
a
coastal
a
in
the
city
and
the
the
the
difference
between
flood
zones
is.
Is
that
if
you're
in
the
velocity
zone
or
you're
in
coastal
a
that's
where
you
have
rising
water
with
current
behind
it,
water
that's
rising
and
the
surge
is
pushing
that
water.
D
Those
are
the
most
intensive
areas
and
that's
where
you're
going
to
be
more
subject
to
to
getting
damaged
with
your
home
in
the
a
zone,
the
standard,
a
zone
or
if
it
shows
ae
on
the
map.
What
that
means
is
that
you
just
are
dealing
with
rising
and
falling
water,
that
there
is
no
current
behind
it,
but
once
you
get
into
an
x
zone
or
an
sx
zone,
that
means
that
you're
outside
the
flood
zone.
Now
let
me
mention
this
real,
real,
quick,
because
we
talked
about
our
flood
rating.
D
D
That's
where
you're
going
to
get
the
hardest
hit
on
your
flood
insurance
premiums,
because
you're
out
of
compliance
what's
happening
is
they're
going
to
be
using
satellite
technology
to
look
at
each
individual
structure.
So
it
wouldn't
matter
what
zone
you're
in
they
will
look
at
each
individual
structure
and
they
will
evaluate
the
flood
risk
based
on.
Is
it
on
a
slab?
Is
it
elevated?
D
Is
it
close
to
the
water?
Is
it
away
from
the
water?
So
all
of
these
kind
of
factors
are
going
to
start
determining
it,
and
you
may
either
see
an
increase
or
a
decrease
in
your
flood
insurance.
As
a
result
of
this,
we
don't
have
any
control
over
this.
This
is
new
technology
that
they're
using
there.
They
call
the
shots
for
the
way
it
is,
and
then
they
tell
the
city
here's
what
you're
going
to
be
evaluated
on
from
now
on.
D
D
D
They'll
tell
you
well
wait:
that's
not
our
ordinance
that
ordinance.
It
belongs
to
the
city
of
biloxi.
So
what
happens?
Is
that
we're
we're
kind
of
in
a
situation
where
we
don't
have
to
adopt
that
ordinance?
If
we
don't
want
to,
but
if
we
don't
adopt
it,
then
we
can't
provide
flood
insurance
for
the
people
that
live
here,
so
we're
essentially
forced
to
adopt
that
ordinance.
D
We
deal
with
fema
every
day
we
used
to
see
them
once
every
five
years
when
they
would
come
for
what
they
call
the
the
community
assistance
visit.
But
now
it's
almost
every
day
that
we're
dealing
with
fema
and
also
with
mema.
You
know,
which
is
mississippi
emergency
management,
but
the
flood
insurance
is
doled
out
by
a
federal
program,
called
the
national
flood
insurance
program
and
it
was
initiated
by
insurance
companies
that
wanted
to
put
some
regulations
in
place
for
cities
to
comply
with
to
reduce
the
risk
of
damage
in
when
we
have
these
situations.
D
We
have
these
major
events,
so
it's
controlled
essentially
by
the
insurance
industry
and
the
more
things
that
we
do.
The
more
activities
that
the
city
takes
on
to
reduce
flood
risk
like
cleaning
out
ditches
and
doing
those
other
things,
the
more
points
we
get
and
the
more
points
we
get
the
better
our
rating
is
now
essentially,
if,
in
a
perfect
world,
our
rating
would
go
down
to
a
one
which
means
that
everybody
who
has
a
flood
insurance
policy
in
the
flood
zone
would
get
a
50
discount
on
their
their
flood
insurance
policy.
