A
A
If
you
know
where
the
fire
station
is
the
bay
vista
fire
station
roughly
from
there
west
to
gulfport,
so
I
don't
have
any
portion
of
bay
vista,
I
have
don't
have
any
portion
of
lake
villa
subdivision
or
ancient
ancient
oaks
is
across
the
bay.
So
it's
it's
a
very
small
ward.
It's
the
most
compact
ward,
probably
35
or
40
percent
of
the
residents
live
in
apartments
and
at
election
time
they
don't
like
you
to
campaign.
A
A
Typically,
we
have
about
35
or
40
people
at
these
ward
meetings.
We
have
two
a
year
I
put
out
for
those
of
you
who
may
not
be
aware.
I
put
out
a
weekly
newsletter.
I
push
it
to
you
by
email
every
sunday
morning.
I've
been
doing
that
for
several
years
and
if
you'd
like
to
receive
it,
be
sure
and
sign
in
on
the
sign
in
sheet
and
give
me
your
email
address.
A
A
That's
my
email
address
and
that's
my
website
and
if
you
call
be
sure
to
call
in
the
middle
of
suppertime
okay
without
fail,
it
makes
me
feel
important,
but
most
of
you
know
that,
if
you
call
me,
I
call
you
back
usually
within
a
couple
of
hours
or
I'll,
arrange
to
come
meet
you
personally,
where
you
live
all
right.
That
being
said,
I'd
like
to
introduce
mr
mike
leonard
who's,
the
chief
administrative
officer.
A
I
don't
see
the
mayor,
I
know
he
was
out
of
town,
but
mr
leonard's,
just
out
of
maybe
25
words
on
hurricane.
I
that
we
thought
it
would
be
a
bigger
thing.
We
were
fortunate
thought,
it'd
be
a
bigger
thing
than
it
was
the
pops
ferry
bridge
and
just
a
few
words
on
the
water
rate
increase
it's
coming
in
october.
A
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
paul
and
good
to
be
here.
He
usually
makes
me
go
last.
This
is
great.
I
love
it
I'll
make
it
home
for
happy
hour,
so
I
hope
you'll
have
a
chance
to
look
at
this
late.
This
thing
I've
got
laid
out
on
the
table
over
here.
That
is
one
of
the
products
that's
being
produced
from
what
I
call
a
what
we're
calling
our
west
biloxi
master
plan.
B
I
think
I
don't
need
to
tell
you.
Wes
biloxi's,
been
on
the
wrong
end
of
the
stick
for
a
while.
We've
we've
spent
several
hundred
million
dollars
in
on
east
biloxi.
All
new
water
sewer,
100
year
old
stuff
all
replaced
all
brand
new
new
roads,
some
of
the
places
little
tent
little
roads
in
east
biloxi,
look
like
they
they
better
than
they
ever
have.
B
B
If
you
one
of
the
things
you
look
at,
we
were
talking
earlier
with
some
of
some
of
you
about
the
fact
that
our
some
of
our
water
lines,
a
lot
of
our
water
lines,
are
old
transit,
pipe
which
is
kind
of
asbestos
type
and
water
lines
which
are
grossly
under
undersized
for
the
population
they're
serving
which
would
means
means.
We've
got
problems
with
water
pressure
and
so
forth
for
fires
and
so
forth.
B
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
come
up
with
a
master
plan
of
a
pro
series
of
you
know,
say
one
two
million
dollar
projects
that
we
can
put
in
budgets
year
after
year,
and
and
and
and
are
used
to
go
after
more
federal
funding.
If
we
have
projects
already
developed
so
we're
so,
we've
got
the
an
a
e
firm
working,
an
architectural
engineering
firm
working
on
that
master
plan
right
now,
coming
up
with
what
and
and
and
prioritizing
as
best
we
can,
the
things
that
need
to
be
done
in
west
biloxi.
B
B
One
of
the
projects
that
is
under
designed
to
be
built
this
year
is
a
new
water
tank
at
bay,
vista
bay,
vista
water
tank.
That's
behind
fire
station
number.
Five
just
down
the
road
here
has
been
out
of
service
for
more
than
a
decade,
and
because
of
that,
we've
got
water
pressure
issues
in
west
plexi,
so
we're
going
to
put
a
new
well
and
and
and
for
that
that
tank,
the
tanglewood
area,
which
is
technically
ward,
3
in
ward
4,
just
up
the
road
here
and
bay
vista
area.
B
Again
some
of
the
oldest
infrastructure,
pre-annexation
pre-city
of
biloxi
infrastructure.
We
did
half
of
the
water
lines
in
tanglewood
last
year.
We
we
were
about
to
award
a
contract
to
do
the
other
half
this
year
and
and
we're
going
to
move
on
into
the
fire
station
five
that
I
talk
about
as
the
second
busiest
fire
station
in
the
city,
I'm
stealing
your
thunder
chief,
second,
busiest
and
and
it's
the
smallest,
so
we're
heading
on
to
that
fire
station
this
year.
What
is
it
I'm
supposed
to
talk
about
paul?
B
Right
we
got,
we
got,
we
got
very
lucky
with
hurricane
ida.
The
fema
is,
is
going
to
pay
us
for
emergency
services
and
clean
up,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
any
building
repairs
or
or
peer
repairs
or
any
of
that
sort
of
thing,
but
we're
moving
on
that
hurricane
zeta
that
previously
preceded
that
hurricane.
As
you
know,
that
was
october
of
last
year,
we
spent
five
million
dollars
in
debris,
removal
just
debris,
removal
and
we're
still
working
on
a
lot
of
the
repairs.
B
We
haven't
gotten
one
red
cent
from
fema,
yet
not
one
cent
we're
promised
and
promised
and
promised
we.
We
took
a
line
of
credit
of
10
million
dollars
to
do
the
debris,
removal
and
other
repairs,
and
fortunately
our
good
friends
at
people's
bank
gave
us
a
pretty
good
interest
rate.
It's
almost
free,
almost
free
money,
but
we've
got
to
pay
it
back
at
some
point
and
so
we're
kind
of
hoping
that
fema
will
come
through
for
us
pops,
ferry
bridge.
Okay.
This
is
one
that
the
project
never
stops.
B
It
stops
giving
125
million
dollar
project.
We've
heard
all
this
before.
That
includes
the
roadway
and
the
bridge
and
all
the
acquisition
of
the
property,
which
includes
almost
59
houses
that
we
have
to.
We
have
to
take
that's
basically
between
the
end
of
the
bridge
and
margaret
sherry,
pretty
much
every
every
house
down
that
side.
B
That's
what
that's
why
it's
125
million
dollar
project,
it's
all
of
the
right-of-way
acquisition
and
alignment
is,
is
ready
to
go
and
we're
just
looking
for
construction
money.
Fortunately,
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
infrastructure
coming
our
way
so
we'll
see
it's
not
designed
yet
design's
going
to
be
easy,
quick
part
of
it.
The
hard
part
is
buying
all
the
property.
B
The
mayor
has
floated
a
trial
balloon
about
maybe
doing
a
toll
bridge.
We
have
a
company
that
came
to
see
us.
That
said,
they
could
have
a
bridge
up
in
three
to
four
years,
but
mayor's
basically
out
there
trolling
trying
to
get
people
to
tell
him
what
they
think
and
whether
that's
gonna,
sell
or
not.
B
We
were
not
breaking
even
we're
losing
money
every
year
and
having
to
put
money
from
the
general
fund
into
the
water
sewer
fund.
So
as
a
four
years
ago,
we
started
to
gain
ground,
and
actually
the
council
gave
us
a
three
three
percent
increase
over
four
years
that
ended.
It
will
end
this
september.
30Th
council
has
approved
a
two
percent
increase
starting
in
october,
and
that
will
become
effective
when
you
get
your
bills
in
october.
B
There's
also
a
trash
increase,
that's
one
that
we
can't
do
much
about
we.
As
you
know,
our
trash
contract
is
with
the
utility
authority
of
harrison
county
so
that
we
it's
basically
a
pass
through.
Whatever
we
get
charged,
we
charge
you
and
they've
got
a
cpi
in
consumer
price
index
built
into
that
contract,
so
that
drives
our
our
trash
price
from
15
and
10
cents
a
month
to
15
and
75
cents
a
month.
It's
going
to
go
up
that
much
this
year,
that's
effective.
The
first
month
will
be
october.
B
B
B
B
We
just
hired
10
firefighters
to
just
to
fill
the
vacancies
that
we
already
had
and
we're
applying
for
a
grant
from
safer
grant
as
homeland
security
to
hire
another
15
firefighters.
Our
problem
with
our
firefighters
is:
we've
got
enough
to
staff
the
trucks,
but
with
with
once
we
got
this
truck
staff,
nobody
gets
any
time
off.
B
So
the
only
way
to
give
anybody
a
time
off
in
the
fire
department
is
to
for
somebody
to
cover
for
them
in
overtime
and
some
of
these
guys
they
love
the
overtime
but
they're
we're
wearing
them
out.
So
we
just
needed
so
we'll
be
adding
15
additional
firefighters,
we're
adding
we're
adding
public
works
workers,
five
to
the
north
and
five
to
the
south
of
the
city
and
we're
adding
a
crew
to
into
our
parks
and
recs
department
to
do
additional.
B
I
I
chief,
the
chief,
could
probably
quote
me
that
quote
this
better,
but
that
that
that
the
police
officer
that
we
put
on
the
beat
by
the
time
we
buy
his
car
and
his
gun
and
his
radio
and
all
the
other
equipment,
the
vests
and
everything
else
that
goes
with
that
police
officer
they're
a
lot
more
expensive
than
you
think,
they're
worth
everything
we
pay
for
them,
but
they're
a
lot
more
expensive,
so
16
police
officers
is,
is
a
good
chunk
of
change.
But
we
need
them.
B
The
pop
spray
road
extension
for
the
third
year
consecutively
we
applied
for
a
grant
to
build
the
pop
spray
road.
It's
designed
it's
ready.
We
applied
to
the
gulf
coast
restoration
fund
for
a
grant.
We
applied
to
the
raise
grant,
which
is
a
department,
u.s
department
of
transportation
grant.
If
we
can
get
this
construction
money,
we
can
start,
we
can
start
the
project
this
year.
I
know
it's
getting
old,
it's
one
of
the
oldest
projects.
We've
got,
but
it's
just
one
that
we
we
need.
We
need
some
help.
B
B
B
A
C
Thank
you
thank
you,
as
he
said,
I'm
nick
geyser.
Some
of
you
all
know
me.
I
see
some
familiar
faces,
some
of
y'all,
don't.
I
grew
up
right
down
off
atkinson
road
on
greenwood
drive
in
tanglewood
subdivision.
That
is,
I
guess,
ward
three,
but
it
was
it's.
It
wardlines
have
changed
so
much
in
the
in
the
past.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
about
myself.
I've
been
with
the
fire
department.
C
If
y'all
haven't
read
the
articles
that
have
been
put
out,
I
was
with
the
fire
department
for
17
years
now,
graduate
of
biloxi
high
graduate
of
usm
with
a
couple,
a
double
major
in
management
and
accounting
kind
of
rose
through
the
ranks
for
the
past
two
and
a
half
years.
I
I
did
the
training
chief
for
the
fire
department
and
I
did
the
emergency
management
for
the
city.
So
I've
learned
a
lot
about
some
of
the
the
things
at
city
hall
that
I
did
not
know
prior
to
coming
off.
C
The
line
and
I've
helped
train
a
couple
different
groups
of
firefighters,
as
we
try
to
build
up
and
as
they
as
they
said,
we
are
having
a
not
necessarily
an
issue
of
hiring
but
a
recruitment
issue.
When
I
came
on
17
years
ago,
we
probably
had
200
applicants
and
we
would
give
a
test
once
a
year
and
out
of
that,
we
would
hire
big
groups.
I
y'all
all
remember
the
the
annexation
of
wool
market.
We
were
higher
in
20
21
15.
Nowadays.
The
last
group
that
I
hired
was
five.
C
So
it's
it's
a
it's
an
issue.
So
if
you
know
of
any
young
men
and
women
that
that
are
looking
for
a
career-
and
I
say
career
because
it
is
a
30-year
retirement
right
now,
we'd
love
to
see
it
go
back
to
25
years
to
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
enticing.
But
it's
a
30-year
retirement,
but
it's
still
a
good
still
a
good
career
to
go
into.
C
So
a
couple
of
the
talking
points
that
dr
tisdale
has
for
me
is
smoke
detector
program
as
if
you
all
have
been
around
you
all
know.
That
october
is
our
big
push
to
get
smoke
detectors
installed
in
every
house
that
we
can
and
the
smoke
detectors
they're
free
of
charge.
We
bring
them
out,
we
will
do
all
the
installation
problem
is
now
is
with
the
coveted
restrictions
and
that
sort
of
thing
it's
being
able
to
come
into
your
home.
We
are
still
welcome
to
come
into
your
home.
C
What
we
typically
do
is
now
we're
just
going
to
ask
you
call
our
number
435
6200
request,
and
we
do
this.
Throughout
the
year
we
will
come
in.
We
will
install
as
long
as
you're,
okay,
we
bring
our
own
tools,
we'll
tell
you
where
we're
going
to
install
them,
make
sure
it's
okay
with
you
and
tell
you
why
we're
going
to
do
it?
C
You
know
whether
it
be
outside
a
bedroom
near
a
kitchen.
We
aren't
going
to
put
it
right
above
the
stove
to
where
you
hear
it
every
two
seconds,
but
it's
it's
a
proven
fact
that
smoke
detectors
save
lives,
so
we
really
believe
in
it.
It
is
a
it
is
funded,
it
doesn't
come
out
of.
Our
budget
doesn't
come
out
of
y'all's
tax,
paying
dollars,
it
is
funded
by
the
government
and
we
are
happy
to
do
it
every
year
day
in
and
day
out.
C
So
if
you
know
anybody,
if
you
have
an
elderly
neighbor
that
needs
it,
please
call
us
check
with
them,
of
course,
but
please
call
us
give
us
the
address.
There's
a
simple
form,
a
little
one-page
form.
We
will
come
out,
we'll
have
a
crew
either
our
fire
station
five.
If
it's
in
this
area
will
come
out
and
install
it
or
if
they
can't
get
to
it,
if
they're
busy
doing
other
tasks,
we've
tasked
them
to,
we
have
a
fire
prevention
division
that
we'll
be
happy
to
help.
C
Oh
and
mike
had
touched
on
the
planned
improvements
to
station
five,
so
station
five.
We
we
run
because
this
is
such
a
busy
area
out
here.
I'm
sure
you
all
hear
them
quite
a
bit,
because
it's
so
busy
we
actually
staff
it
with
two
trucks
right
now,
so
we
have
two
units
we
have
to
staff
every
engine
that
we
have
with
three
people
minimum
and,
as
you
all
probably
saw
within
the
past
year,
we
managed
to
drop
our
our
fire
rating
to
a
two
which
is
the
best
in
the
state.
C
But
we
like
to
work
201
part
of
getting
to
that.
One
is
some
of
the
infrastructure
work,
so
we've
pretty
much.
We've
satisfied
everything
that
we
can
and
that's
where
we
are
out
of
two
to
get
to
that
one.
It
comes
to
those
water
lines
that
mr
leonard
spoke
of.
We've
got
to
beef
up
those
water
lines
because
they
are
dated
the
amount
of
water
that
we
can
that
we
can
generate
from
our
truck.
We
can
actually
suck
a
hydrant
dry
now
and
you
can
you'll
see
our
big
four
inch
lines.
C
C
And
it's
it's
really.
You
know
we
never
go
anywhere
by
ourselves
so
being
that
station
five
is
a
older
structure.
By
doing
this,
expansion
we're
going
to
be
able
to
allow
right
now
we
have
enough
beds
for
six
guys
or
six
personnel
to
ride
that
truck.
We've
got
three
on
one
engine,
we've
got
three
on
another
and
they
are
running
constantly
it's
one
of
the
busiest
in
the
city.
C
What
we
would
be
able
to
do
if
all
the
grants
and
everything
right
now
currently
as
it
stands,
we
wouldn't
even
be
able
to
put
a
fourth
person
on
each
of
those
units
because
we
don't
even
have
the
space.
So
that's
where
this
comes
into
play
and
this
is
a
future
goal.
We
would
like
to
become
the
first
first
city
in
the
state
of
mississippi
to
reach
that
one
rating,
and
that
is
a
long-term
goal
that
isn't
going
to
happen
today.
It
ain't
going
to
happen
next
year,
but
it's
a
four
to
five
year
project.
D
Because
I
just
recently
saw
a
report
in
the
email
that
station
five
almost
has
six
calls
a
day
and
some
of
your
spaces
have
one
so
whatever
you're
doing
I
like
those
guys,
I
know
I'm
gonna
take
care
of
them
because
they
take
care
of
us
because
they
are
the
busiest
station
in
all
of
the
ten
stations
you
have.
Yes,.
C
C
D
A
Next
on
the
agenda.
Is
mr
jerry
creel
he's
the
director
of
community
development,
and
this
was
an
issue
that
came
up
in
the
development
review
committee
and
I
don't
think
it's
been
to
the
planning
commission
yet
has
it,
but
for
the
folks
who
live
around
edgewater
park
grand
view
apartments,
there's
an
empty
parcel
there
on
the
beach
at
the
foot
of
grand
view,
drive
and
highway
90.
and
it's
just
east
of
edgewater
park.
But
this
is
going
to
be
of
concern
to
the
folks
who
live
in
that
area.
Mr.
E
Thank
you,
dr
tisdale,
the
property
that
he
is
well.
First
of
all,
you
probably
know
what
we
do
in
our
department.
You
know
development,
rezoning
building
inspections,
code
enforcement,
flood
plain
management,
historic
preservation
and
also
the
visitor
center,
but
the
property
that
dr
tisdell
is
talking
about
is
the
piece
of
property
that
used
to
be
the
old
breakers
in
property,
and
you
know,
over
the
years
we've
had
a
number
of
projects
that
have
been
proposed
for
there.
E
It's
very
preliminary
he's
been
through
twice
he's
revised
his
drawing
once,
but
we're
now
reaching
the
point
where
it's
time
for
him
to
get
an
engineer
involved
and
to
actually
design
it.
The
way
the
ordinance
would
allow
it
to
go
in
they're
very
aware
that
there
were
some
covenants
that
were
put
in
place.
That
would
require
a
separation
between
this
property
and
the
edgewater
park
subdivision.
E
This
developer
has
agreed
to
comply
with
all
of
those
covenants
that
were
approved,
so
he's
he's
not
been
hesitant
to
agree
to
move
forward
with
what
he's
doing
so.
I
would
expect
that
the
next
one
of
the
next
drc
meetings
he'll
actually
come
in
with
the
engineer.
Drawing
for
that
piece
of
property
and
once
the
development
review
committee
is
satisfied
that
it
meets
all
of
our
ordinances,
then
it
would
move
to
the
planning
commission
for
a
for
a
public
hearing,
so
just
stay
tuned.
For
that
we'll
we'll
see
what
happens.
E
The
the
front
part
of
the
property
is
already
zoned
for
an
rv
park,
but
maybe
halfway
back
it
changes
to
rm30,
which
is
residential,
multi-family
property,
and
because
of
that,
and
because
he's
wanting
to
use
the
entire
piece
of
property,
there
will
be
a
zoning
change
hearing
for
that
property
on
the
north
end.
So
you'll
see
an
ad
in
the
paper
or
you'll,
see
a
public
notice
or
signs
placed
out
there
to
alert
you
to
that.
E
The
the
other
thing
that
we
get
questions
about
is
the
connector
road
for
gulf
coast,
community
college,
and
I
can
tell
you
we
have
not
received
anything
on
that.
I
would
expect
that,
probably,
since
they
finished
up
since
the
community
college
finished
up
the
road,
the
access
road
on
highway
49,
that
there'll
probably
be
some
discussion
to
start
on
that
and
when
that
happens,
we'll
make
sure
that
the
neighborhood
is
a
is
aware
of
it
so
that
you
can
chime
in
on
it.
E
As
far
as
some
development
projects
in
ward
5,
the
starbucks
at
the
mall
they've
completed
what
we
call
the
white
box,
one
contractor
was
given
the
award
to
build,
what's
called
the
white
box,
which
is
essentially
the
blank
building
and
now
they'll
turn
it
over
to
the
starbucks
contractors.
Who'll
come
in
and
actually
finish
out
the
starbucks
theme
on
the
inside.
E
We
don't
have
a
projected
completion
date
on
that
yet,
but
you
could
probably
see
that
the
outside
is
for
the
most
part
finished,
except
for
you
know
the
paving
going
in
out
there
so
keep
an
eye
on
that
also
going
into
the
old
steinmart
location
at
edgewater
estate,
edgewater
village,
I'm
sorry,
edgewater
village.
They
put
up
the
sign
yesterday
and
today
the
america's
thrift
store
is
going
to
be
locating
in
there
and
those
stores
are
always
a
big
draw.
E
They
generate
a
lot
of
traffic,
so
they
finished
up
with
the
work
on
the
inside
and
you'll
probably
see
some
activity
starting
on
the
outside
very
shortly.
Also,
this
is
not
ward
5,
but
it's
close
to
it.
The
other
former
steinmart
location,
the
furniture
mart
location
over
next
to
the
former
walmart
location,
is
called
bargain
bin.
Now,
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
go
to
the
bargain
bin
yet,
but
they
have
a
very
unique
way
of
operating.
E
E
E
E
F
F
F
I'll
rephrase
questions
so
regarding
the
floodplain,
our
subdivision,
the
enclave
subdivision,
it's
never
flooded,
but
half
of
it's
in
the
flood
zone.
Half
of
it
is
not,
and
as
a
result,
those
in
the
and
obviously
have
to
pay
more
insurance.
I've
been
hearing
for
years
that
fema
is
going
to
come
and
do
another
assessment.
E
Can't
speak
to
that,
and
I
don't
want
to
dominate
too
much
of
the
time
tonight,
because
we've
got
a
workshop
on
that
schedule
for
next
week.
What's
happened
is
that
fema
is
initiating
a
new
program
called
risk
2.0,
and
it
will
go
into
effect
october.
The
1st
now
we're
trying
to
gather
information
about
this,
because
we
were
not
notified
about
the
details
about
it.
E
So
we've
had
to
go
out
and
try
to
find
out
as
much
as
we
can,
but
essentially,
what's
going
to
happen
is
that
fema
is
going
to
do
away
with
the
maps
that
we
use
now
in
the
flood
insurance
program,
and
what
will
happen
is
that
each
property
now
will
be
individually
assessed
by
satellite,
based
on
what
fema
considers
their
exposure
to
risk.
In
other
words,
they'll.
Look
at
things
like
is
this
a
house
on
a
slab?
Is
it
a
house?
That's
slightly
elevated
or
more
elevated.
E
E
So,
even
if
the
premiums
go
up,
if
we
can
make
this
change,
we
feel
confident
that
we
can
still
provide
the
25
percent
discount
to
the
people
that
have
policies
in
the
flood
zone
and
the
ten
percent
discount
that
people
are
receiving
all
right.
If
you,
if
you
have
a
policy
and
you're
inside
the
flood
zone,
you
should
be
getting
a
25
discount
on
your
flood
insurance
premiums,
because
we
have
a
five
we're
the
best
rating
in
the
state
best
rated
city
in
the
state.
G
G
When
they
were
really
busy
for
that
memorial
day
weekend,
they
put
the
people
that
were
partying
in
that
early
park
in
charge
of
opening
them
closing
it.
They
were
nowhere
around
and
they
let
everybody
out
on
time
the
day
the
day
after
memorial
day.
So
I
want
to
know
when
it's
going
to
stop,
I
mean
technically
emergency.
It
means
emergency,
not
when
you
feel
like.
E
It
well,
mr
newman,
who
contacted
me
early
last
week
before
I
got
your
email
about
it,
and
he
said
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
before
you
get
a
complaint
that
we're
having
to
use
that
to
get
out,
because
the
arm
on
our
main
gate
is
broken.
He
said,
we've
got
a
part
ordered
for
it
and
as
soon
as
we,
the
part
comes
in
we'll
fix
that
and
we'll
go
back
to
using
it.
Now.
Let
me
just
let
me
just
address
a
couple
of
things
here:
number
one.
E
E
E
Taking
somebody
to
court
is
a
very
serious
matter.
It's
it's
a
very
serious
matter
and
you
have
to
cite
the
violation:
the
section
of
the
code
that
they're
violating
there
is
no
section
of
the
code.
That
is
a
violation
for
opening
a
gate
and
I've
trained
my
people
not
to
get
in
the
middle
of
personal
disputes
between
property
owners.
E
E
I've
not
seen
any
pictures
where
rvs
are
going
in
and
out
of
there
when
we
go
out
to
investigate
the
gate,
is
open
but
they're,
usually
people
cutting
grass
or
they're,
usually
people
working
on
the
gate
because
water's
gotten
into
it
or
something
like
that.
So
I
just
I'm
not
going
to
let
my
department
be
used
because
there's
a
dispute
between
property.
G
To
owners
that
particular
iv
carcass
that
would
not
be
used
for
that,
and
I
have
camera
footage
as
well
as
a
whole
memorial
day
party
with
that
left,
was
left
open
all
weekend
for
golf
carts
to
come
in
and
out.
So
when
you
say
it's
being
used
first
of
all,
one
grass
outside
of
there,
because
there
are
no
grass
outside
there
that
they're
responsible
for
it's
either
also
city
or
biloxi
or
shula
on
front.
H
G
There's
nothing
on
the
pine
grove
side,
that's
grass!
So
look
I'm
not
going
to
argue
into
a
dead
horse.
I'm
just
saying
it
was
ingredient
made
that
that
was
not
going
to
happen
and
it's
continually
done
over
and
over
and
you're
talking
one
time
before
that
or
right
after
the
storm,
which
I
looked
the
other
way
for
four
days
before
I
even
sent
you,
but
it
is
aggravating.
The
whole
point
was
this:
pinecone
garbage
has
a
ton
of
traffic.
It
does
have
this
aggressive
ingress
of
these
big.
A
B
I
I
Trust
me,
it
was
raining
there
also,
I
feel
very
fortunate
this
year
to
have
a
budget
that
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
do
a
lot
of
maintenance
on
my
facilities
and
parks,
pennzoil
being
one
of
those
we're
going
to
look
at
replacing
the
16
year
old
playground
equipment
out
there.
I
don't
know
if
we'll
get
to
do
both
of
them,
but
definitely
we're
going
to
provide
new
equipment
for
one
of
them.
I
The
other
thing
that
mr
tisdale
has
asked
me
and
asked
me
and
asked
me
and
we're
finally
going
to
do-
is
lighting
of
the
oak
tree
at
the
edgewater
park.
I
don't
know
who,
if
anyone
lives
in
that
area,
I
actually
didn't
realize
that
it
was
lit
until
he
met
me
out
there
one
day
and
it's
gorgeous.
I
went
by
there
the
other
day
looking
at
it,
so
it
will
be
done
by
the
end
of
the
month
this
year.
I
Of
course,
you
know
also
that
snyder
center
falls
under
paul's
ward,
so
we're
continuing
to
do
exercise
classes
here
on
mondays,
wednesdays
and
fridays,
tai
chi
on
tuesdays
and
thursdays.
We
have
the
pool
and
the
therapeutic
pool.
We
have
pickleball,
I
don't
even
know
what
I
just
say
every
day
now,
because
it
you
know
they
ask
me
and
we
give
it
to
them
and
it's
a
really
popular
sport.
So
if
you're
interested
in
pickleball
see
that
man
back
there,
mr
tom
linenberger
he'll
hook
you
up
real
quick.
I
Yeah
we're
in
the
same
predicament
as
everybody
else
too
we're
short-handed,
I'm
short,
nine
in
parks
and
recreation
right
now
so
bear
with
us
when
it
comes
to
the
playgrounds
and
the
grass
cutting
at
the
parks
and
things
of
that
nature
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
right
now.
This
week
we've
had
seafood
festival.
The
set
up
for
the
tunnels
to
towers
is
that's
what
it's
called
mike
to
set
up
for.
So
we
just
you
know
as
well
as
civic
center.
We
do
all
the
setup
at
the
civic
center
and
clean
up.
I
So
it's
it's
a
lot.
We
have
42
parks
and
playgrounds
and
ball
parks
also
that
we
cut
and
maintain
for
various
events.
So
the
other
thing
we're
looking
at
is
the
edgewater
sign,
replacing
that
from
zeta
it's
in
the
design,
stats
design
phase.
Now
so
we'll
be
replacing
that
also
so
any
questions
yes,
ma'am.
B
J
J
I
I
I
I
A
And
on
planting
or
replant
well
planting
trees
particularly
say
at
pennzoil
park,
that's
a
good
example,
and
then
perhaps
over
into
east
view
and
west
view,
they
have
a
little
park
there
on
the
corner
of
pass
road.
They
have
a
few
stumps
same
situation,
waiting
for
those
to
be
ground,
but
that's
one
reason
why
we're
we're
creating.
I
guess
a
tree
bank
ordinance,
because
when
developers
come
in
and
they
clear
property
for
every
protected
tree,
they
remove
there's
a
mitigation.
They
have
to
provide
three
in
its
place.
A
Three
small
saplings
or
whatever
one
of
the
issues
is
that
currently,
I
think
the
ordinance
says
well.
If
they
knock
down
three
and
they've
got
a
plant
nine
in
its
place.
It
has
to
be
planted
there
on
that
parcel,
that's
being
developed
well,
a
lot
of
times.
There's
there's
no
there's
just
going
to
be
a
problem
later
on.
So
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
you
know,
like
you,
have
the
land
banks
when
you
purchase
time
the
same
thing
with
tree
that
way
the
developers
just
pay
a
flat
flat
fee
for
those
trees.
A
A
B
B
B
So
if
you,
if
you
add
gulfport
and
plexi
together,
it's
a
pretty
big
percentage,
so
yeah,
probably
our
number
one
other
than
picking
up.
We
talked
earlier
about
picking
up
trash
on
the
side
of
the
road
and
we
actually
one
of
the
things
we
bought
for
next
year
is
a
yet
a
fourth
truck
with
a
grapple
on
it.
B
The
pipe
is
actually
under
the
ground.
With
with
a
yeah.
We
call
them
beehive
things
up
above
them
to
to
bring
to
allow
the
water
to
go
in,
but
the
the
sides
of
the
ditch.
If
you
will
this,
I
call
it.
The
shoulders
of
the
ditch
are
just
a
little
bit
by
little
bit
disappearing
and
as
they
disappear,
so
do
people's
fences
on
the
back
side.
B
B
We've
got
somebody
out
there
this
week,
giving
us
a
price
to
do
that,
but
one
of
the
things
I've
we
talked
earlier
about
some
of
the
residents
that
we've
got
to
take
that
they
need
to
take
into
account
is
that
a
lot
of
the
water
that's
washing
across
washing
that
ditch
out,
is
off
of
the
lots
and
and
the
houses
that
back
up
to
the
ditch.
It's
just
rain
water.
That's
coming
out
of
the
ditches
and
down
the
hill
and
wearing
out
taking
soil
away
from
the
ditch.
B
So
you
know,
I
think,
we're
going
to
try
and
put
together
some
kind
of
a
package
to
send
to
the
residents
to
talk
about
things
you
can
do
to
help
us
hold
the
hold
the
ditch
and
and
the
way
of
doing
some
kind
of
little
walls
or
some
something
across
the
back
of
your
property,
so
that
so
that
the
water
doesn't
wash
the
property
back
down
the
ditch
again
so
anyway.
That's
that's!
That's
that
one
trash!
A
A
B

You've
seen
it
firsthand
problems
that
we've
had
and
it's
and
it's
been
there
since
2003
when
they
did
this
huge
drainage
project,
but
that
big
pipe,
we
don't
have
any
flooding
from
water
coming
across
the
street,
but
those
little
beehives
that
you're
talking
about
when
they
cut
the
vegetation
down
they've
told
I
have
some
of
the
residents
here.
They've
just
told
them
all
right.
Our
job
is
to
cut
it
down,
not
to
remove
it,
and
so
when
they
cut
it,
it
just
clogs
up
those
things.
H
J
2001
I
had
behind
my
fence
at
least
three
four
feet
and
I
could
actually
mow
it
myself
or
have
to
have
it
and
everything
worked
out.
Fine
until
the
city
came
in
with
the
big
project,
and
that
was
in
2003
and
I
understand
the
overflow
from
edgewater
and
how
that
culvert
helps.
I
do
understand
that,
but
I
was
personally
told
when
they
removed
my
fence
to
do
the
project
that
I
would
really
love
it,
because
they
were
going
to
make
the
existing
ditch
very
smooth
and
have
a
slight
slope
that
never
happened.
J
J
I
have
pine
straw
there
to
disguise
it.
If
you
come
over.
It
looks
like
a
flower
bed,
it's
not
if
you
step
in
it.
You
go
this
far
down
right
now.
I
have
holes,
probably
this
deep
on
my
side
of
the
fence,
and
I
understand
your
point
about
saying
it's
the
homeowners,
but
when
I
purchased
my
home,
the
slope
was
not
there.
H
J
Is
not
the
runoff
from
my
home
it's
doing
that
it's
the
silty
soil
that
was
originally
there
and
they
never
replaced
as
they
promised
they
would
so.
I
I
think
your
idea
of
ground
cover
has
already
been
done,
because
I
have
got
documentation
from
the
ground
cover
that
they've
already
done.
I
was
told
in
2019
to
that.
Maybe
we
should
not
ever
weed
that
ditch.
We
should
leave
the
weeds
six
feet
tall
because
they
would
hold
the
dirty
well.
I
thought
they
were
doing
that
this
summer
because
it
took
that
long.
H
J
H
J
J
K
H
K
F
But
the
the
last
city
engineer,
christy
levitar,
said
she
had.
It
was
an
unbudgeted
expense,
but
said
she
found
some
funds
to
put
cement
in
the
places
that
were
eroding
the
most
to
the
point
where
she
called
the
contractor
to
get
with
me
to
walk
the
ditch,
to
show
them
where
these
places
were
and
then
the
next
week
she
left
and
of
course
she
didn't
apparently
tell
anyone
in
the
city
whatever
plan
she
had
to
resolve
this
issue.
J
J
J
E
D
B
B
Can
you
imagine
what
what
the
engineers
were
thinking
then
they
designed
the
72-inch
pipe,
obviously
that
they
looked
at
the
drainage
amount
of
drainage
that
would
run
through
that
neighborhood
and
that's
what
the
calculations
told
them
they
had
to
have
a
72-inch
pipe.
I
mean
I
could
walk
down
the
pipe
without
bending
over
on
a
72
inch
pipe
there's
a
lot
of
places
in
west
biloxi,
where
there's
a
huge
amount
of
water.
That's
that's
running!
B
You
know,
through
the
churchill,
ditch
in
your
ditch,
just
a
huge
amount
of
water
that
it's
carried.
This
would
have
been
a
tells
me.
This
was
kind
of
a
swampy
wet
area
at
one
time
a
long
time
ago,
so
dylan
again
I'll,
go
back
to
where
I
started
a
while
back,
and
that
is,
we
need
a
master
plan
here
in
west
biloxi
of
how
to
move
forward
and
to
do
something
about
all
the
old
infrastructure.
B
I
mean
we're
talking
water
sewer,
drainage,
roads.
A
gentleman
spoke
to
me
earlier
about
the
roads
said
you
know
my
road's
in
bad
shape.
Everybody
tells
me
their
roads
in
bad
shape.
The
first
thing
I
do
I
go
to
our
paving
study.
I've
got
every
city
street
graded
between
one
and
nine
and
and
based
on
that.
That's
where
we're
doing
our
paving.
I
was
sharing
with
you
a
gentleman
earlier
how
we
get
money
for
paving.
B
We
actually
don't
borrow
money
for
paving.
We
get
internet
sales
every
time
you
or
your
wife.
In
my
case,
it's
my
wife
buy
something
from
amazon
that
money
she
has
to
write
there.
You
know
where
she
lives
and
that
that
internet
internet
sales
tax
gets
credited
and
eventually
works
its
way
back
through
the
state
and
to
us,
and
so
we're
getting
a
million
dollars
a
year
in
internet
sales
money.
This
is
designated
for
city-wide
paving
so
we've
got
more
paving
money
than
we've
ever
had.
B
I
think,
and
we're
going
one
by
one
through
the
nines
working
our
way
to
the
eights,
to
the
sevens,
to
the
six
sixes
and
then
and
fortunately,
when
we
do
any
kind
of
water
sewer
work
in
the
area
like
lake
and
tanglewood
this
last
year,
the
residents
of
those
streets
that
we
did
water
as
a
result
of
that
water
work
and
the
sewer
work
that
we
did,
they
got
new
streets.
So
anyway,
I
don't
know
what
to
tell
you
about
the
ditch
yet,
but
I'm
learning
more
about
it.
Every
day.
B
And
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
do
is
ask
the
county
for
more
help.
I
said
before
we're
25
percent
of
the
county.
We
we're
trying
to
remind
the
county
as
often
as
possible,
very
politely,
that
we
pay
county
tax
too,
and
we
we'd
appreciate
a
little
help
that
supervisor
forward
our
supervisor
for
area
one
in
district,
one
in
district
five.
B
A
L
L
So
I
hope
everyone
got
an
opportunity
to
get
this
little
pamphlet
here.
Just
give
it
a
look
over.
This
is
just
the
calls
for
service
in
in
your
ward
and
it
kind
of
lays
them
out
for
you
there
by
call,
if
you
have
any
any
questions
about
that,
just
look
it
over
and
let
me
know
and
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
them.
For
you
pretty
well
explains
itself.
L
L
L
So
it's
going
to
be
a
truly
truly
hectic
traffic
event.
We
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
trouble
out
of
cruising
the
coast
other
than
just
the
traffic.
So
if
you're
looking
at
and
that's
going
to
bring
us
to
what
about
seven,
almost
seven
thousand
cars,
so
almost
seven
thousand
registered
vehicles.
So
if
you
have
seven
thousand
registered
vehicles,
you
can
quadruple
that
for
the
amount
of
vehicles
that
will
be
here
that
aren't
registered.
L
So
that's
truly
going
to
be
a
big
event.
So
I'm
just
going
to
ask
ahead
of
time
for
everybody's
patience
on
that
that
you
know
you
can
only
you
can
only
put
so
much
in
that
area
and
we're
basically
trying
to
fill
a
10
gallon
bucket.
You
know
with
20
gallons
and
it's
it's
it's
not
going
to
work.
It's
going
to
be
hectic.
L
L
L
L
I
have
no
reason
to
believe
that
they're,
not
ever
we've
asked
them
every
year.
They've
done
that
they've
been
very
gracious.
To
do
that,
I
I,
I
honestly
believe
that
they
will
as
time
as
we
get
closer
to
the
event.
We
will
certainly
make
sure
that
that's
going
to
happen,
but
the
colosseum
has
been
pretty
decent
to
us
about
doing
that.
We
usually
set
up
a
road
through
there,
as
you
know,
just
to
make
it
easier
and
to
kind
of
keep.
M
Question
has
to
do
as
you
are
aware,
the
owners
of
the
cemetery
actually
leased
out
their
media
in
front
to
rv
people,
and
things
like
that.
Those
of
us
who
have
loved
those
buried
cemeteries
have
not
been
hacked
about
that
last
year,
before
lasting
actually
had
somebody
had
gone
up
there
on
a
new
mausoleum
front
of
their
barbecue
grill
up
there
was
that
their
barbecue.
M
Now
I
like
the
state
statues
from
desecration
of
cemeteries
unless
you've
got
a
flaming
immigrant
on
the
ground
and
you're
out
there.
Gutting
oxes
is
not
a
lot
that
you
can
do
out
there
is
there
anything
the
city
can
do
from
an
enforcement
standpoint
to
mitigate
the
way
these
people
utilize.
The
problem.
L
100
on
that,
and
as
you
probably
know,
when
the
first,
the
first
time
it
happened,
we
did
everything
we
could
do
then,
as
far
as
the
law
would
allow
and
you're
absolutely
right.
The
statute
doesn't
give
us
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
room,
but
what
we
have
done
is
entered
into
conversations
with
the
owners
of
the
property
and
they
have
they
have
guaranteed
us
that
there
will
be
nothing
back
by
the
graves.
L
A
L
All
right,
the
second
thing
is
the
camera
program,
and
just
that,
just
out
of
curiosity,
how
many
have
you
have
you?
How
many
of
you
have
heard
about
the
fuselages
camera
program
registry?
If
you
don't
mind,
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
ms
donna,
for
registering
that
this
is
this
is
something
we've
been
working
on
for
quite
a
while.
Now
we've
entered
into
a
a
partnership
with
a
company
named
fuses
and
what
fuses
does
and
there's
there's
a
little
spec
sheet
up
there.
This
is
dated
I
noticed
on
here.
L
It
says:
51,
private
community
cameras
there's
many
more
than
that
now,
so
this
is
data.
This
just
gives
you
a
few
facts
about
it,
but
basically
what
fuses
does
is
you
can
you
can
just
go
online
register,
any
camera
that
you
have
with
uses
all
right,
and
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can
look
at
the
camera.
What
it
does.
L
What
it
does
for
us
is
that
if
there's
a
crime
in
the
area
anywhere,
we
can
just
immediately
look
at
the
registry
and
determine
where
there's
cameras
that
we
may
be
able
to
get
some
footage
off
of.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
crimes
we
solve
every
day
right
now
with
cameras
camera
footage,
whether
it
be
private.
Some
of
it
belongs
to
the
city
and
you've
probably
seen
cameras
going
up
along
the
boardwalk
and
other
places
like
that.
So
I
there's
nothing
better
than
the
camera
system
to
try
to
solve
crimes.
L
It
gives
us
a
direction
to
go
when
we
get
these.
We
get
these
cases
in
you
early
in
the
morning.
There's
a
detective.
That's
going
to
go
through
every
every
report
that
was
made
every
night
the
following
morning.
He
goes
through
it.
He
looks
at
it
and
if
there's
we,
if
there's
solvability,
factors
it's
assigned
to
an
investigator
if
it's
not
assigned
to
a
follow-up
investigator,
his
job
is
to
try
to
find
something
that
will
make
it
solvable.
L
So
please,
if
you
have
an
opportunity,
get
registered.
If
you
have
cameras-
and
I
mean
any
kind
of
camera-
your
ring
doorbell
we're
not
interested
in
cameras
like
you
know,
inside
your
house
or
our
face
in
your
pool.
We
don't
need
any
of
that,
but
but
anything
that
that's
facing
a
public
area,
a
roadway
anything
like
that
we
can
use.
So
please,
if
you
have
an
opportunity,
do
that.
L
L
So
a
lot
of
people
don't
want
to
get
into
law
enforcement
you're,
certainly
not
going
to
get
rich
doing
it.
We
had
more
success
in
the
past
when
it
was
a
25-year
retirement
plan
that
we
do
now.
So,
if
you
think
about
it,
you
have
a
guy
or
a
gal
who
retires
after
you
know,
after
20
years
of
working
somewhere,
and
so
you
know,
they're
say
they're
in
their
their
40s
mid
40s,
and
they
say
you
know
I
can.
L
I
can
be
a
policeman
you
know,
and
but
when
they
look
at
the
retirement
say,
wait
a
minute,
I'm
going
to
be
70
something
years
old
before
I
can
retire,
they're,
not
interested
in
it.
So
hopefully,
one
day,
maybe
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
vote
on
that,
and
I
hope
that
you'll
vote
it's
the
same
with
teachers.
Teachers
are
on
that
same
30-year
retirement
plan
now
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
it's
too
long,
it's
too
long,
but
it
affects
us
with
our
hiring.
For
that
exact
reason.
L
Nobody
wants
to
put
30
years
in
after
they've,
already
retired
and
the
police
department.
We
hire
a
lot
of
military
folks
and
a
lot
of
retired
folks
that
come
in.
They
have
a
lot
of
life
experience.
They
make
good
cops
and
so
with
the
25-year
retirement.
Moving
it
to
30
has
really
has
really
hurt
us
a
lot.
L
L
You
know
people
put
in
you
know
five
10
years
in
a
dispatch
center
and
they
are
pretty
well
ready
to
are
pretty
well
burned
out.
It
takes
a
lot
out
of
you
so,
but
we
are
trying
to
hire
five
new
dispatchers.
So
if
you
see
anybody
that
wants
a
career
as
a
dispatcher
or
a
policeman,
please
send
them
my
way.
L
Let's
see
so
and
I'll
just
give
you
a
couple
of
stats
right,
quick,
we're
answering
about
this
time
of
the
year.
We're
answering
about
2
000
calls
every
seven
days
all
right
and
that's
you
know
we're
open
all
day,
long
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year,
so
we're
we're
answering
that
that
2000
calls
every
seven
days
and
we're
doing
that
with
121
policemen.
L
So
it's
you'll
be
glad
to
get
these
new
policemen
in
and
then
the
homeless
issue.
You
know
that
has
that
has
does
not
appear
to
be
changing
a
lot.
We've
had
a
lot
of
success
with
working
with
the
open
doors
homeless
coalition.
We've
had
a
lot
of
success.
Putting
some
in
apartments
we've
had
a
lot
of
success.
L
Finding
out
of
town
relatives
that
we
can
place
them
with,
we've
had
even
had
some
success
with
finding
jobs
for
some
of
them,
and
I
think
I've
probably
told
this
very
group
this
before.
I
don't
think
that's
a
policeman's
job,
but
unfortunately
there's
nobody
else
out
there
doing
it
not
other
than
like
the
open
doors
homeless
coalition
who
do
a
good
job.
But
we
we're
you
know,
I
believe
a
policeman's
job
is
to
deal
with
the
conduct
of
the
so-called
homeless
and
not
really
their
lifestyle
or
trying
to
fix
it.
L
But
unfortunately
that's
what
we're
doing.
We
have
a
good
bit
of
help,
but
it
seems
like
when
we
place
two
or
three
two
or
three
more
show
up
in
town.
So
it's
a
thankless
job
that
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
we're
making
a
lot
of
headway
with,
but
we're
we're
giving
it
a
shot.
We're
really
trying
hard
to
do
that.
L
L
We
did
have
a
big
convention
in
town.
We
had
the
regional
organized
crime
information
center
conference
here,
which
is
a
which
is
a
big
deal,
you're
familiar
with
them.
It's
a
huge
deal.
They
they,
they
probably
will
be
back
in
three
or
four
years.
They
have
two
conferences
a
year.
This
was
the
the
30th
annual
homicide
conference
and
that
brought
about
500
participants.
Actually,
it
was
like
550
participants.
L
A
lot
of
them
brought
their
families
with
them.
So
we
probably
had
well
over
a
thousand
fifteen
hundred
people
here
from
all
over
the
southern
states,
huge
huge,
con
success.
We
think
they
said
they
would
be
back.
They
enjoyed
themselves,
they
liked
the
way
the
way
of
life
here.
So
I
think
they'll
they'll
be
back.
L
Nobody
got
arrested,
thank
goodness.
We
did
set
up
a
nice
event
for
them,
and-
and
I
can
I
can
tell
you
that
that's
a
drinking
bunch
of
folks,
so
we
we
set
them
up.
We
said
we
had
the
event
close
to
where
they
could
walk
back
and
forth
through
their
hotel
room
so
that
nobody
drove
so
nobody
got
arrested,
but
yeah.
I
was
amazed.
I
was
amazed
at
the
amount
of
liquor
those
folks
could
put
away
and
I
think
that's
it.
Unless
anybody
has
any
questions.
L
Ms
donna,
some
relief,
maybe
for
you
we're
working
on
a
new
noise
ordinance
that
that
will
be
coming.
We
thought
it
would
be
as
simple
as
just
rewriting
the
ordinance
and
saying
here
it
is,
but
unfortunately,
we've
our
attorneys
have
told
us
that
the
county
has
to
be
involved.
We
have
to
have
some
county
input
from
it.
Mainly
because
of
the
coliseum
and
the
beach,
and
so
that's
coming-
and
it's
probably
gonna-
be
a
little
stricter
than
the
one
we
have.
L
A
The
the
other
thing
is
following
that
special
meeting
at
1
30,
as
mr
creel
mentioned,
there's
going
to
be
a
national
flood
insurance
program
workshop.
So
if
some
of
you
want
to
attend
that
meeting,
get
some
information,
that's
fine!
All
of
these
council
meetings.
Special
meetings
and
workshops
are
videotaped,
so
if
you
can't
make
it
they'll
be
online,
I'm
available
here
in
just
a
moment
when
the
meeting
ends.
