From YouTube: Ward 4 Meeting, Sept. 25, 2020
Description
Councilmember Robert L. Deming III conducted a Ward 4 meeting on Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Donal M. Snyder Sr. Community Center. Providing updates during the meeting were representatives of the city departments of Parks & Recreation, Engineering, Police, Fire, Community Development and Administration.
A
A
A
We
also
have
paul
tisdale,
who
is
the
council
member
for
ward
5,
in
which
the
donald
snyder
sits.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
a
facility
that
can
accommodate
something
like
this
within
ward
4..
We
have
the
best
ward
in
the
city,
but
it's
more
of
a
bedroom
community
and
not
very
applicable
to
large
meetings.
A
A
I
saved
her
for
last,
which
we
know
that
we
all
know
the
the
adage,
and
now
just
walking
in
is
the
cao
for
the
city,
mike
leonard
misspell's,
going
to
discuss
some
of
the
things
going
on
in
the
city.
We've
got
a
new
pickleball
tournament,
the
trunk
of
three
bro,
the
trunk
retreat
project.
She's
gonna,
give
us
an
update
on
the
success
of
the
causeway
park
right
now
and
I'll
take
this
out
of
your
way
and
if
you
would
okay
as
well
good.
B
Evening,
right,
quick,
we
are
going
to
have
a
trunk
or
treat
drive
through
halloween.
It
would
pretty
much
be
the
first
event
we've
had
in
a
while
for
kids,
it's
going
to
be
halloween
on
howard.
I
have
some
copies,
we're
asking
any
business
that
wants
to
be
a
part
of
it
to
get
with
us
and
we'll
start
on
porter
and
howard
work
our
way,
all
down
all
the
way
to
main
street.
B
I
do
have
some
pickleball
registration
forms.
It's
called
battle
for
the
pink
pickleball
tournament
and
it's
kind
of
a
kevin
feldstein,
kenny
glavin,
real
men,
wear
pink
sort
of
competition
who
can
raise
the
most
funds.
That's
happening
on
the
24th.
Also
in
made
mention
y'all
have
a
beautiful
park
in
ward
for
the
pottery
causeway.
B
It
is
used
every
day
and
I
get
aggravated
because
there's
always
people
fishing
on
the
bridge,
but
that's
their
thing.
They
fish
and
it's
I'm
just
amazed
at
how
many
people
come
out
and
use
that
park
and
then
yule's
place
is
doing
very
well
very
well.
I
would
suggest
and
recommend
that
you
go
and
patronize
his
restaurant
as
well
out
there
I'll
watch,
boats,
pull
up
park
and
and
get
out
and
go
patronize
him.
B
Then
you
also
got
pops
ferry.
Recreational
complex
you've
got
the
walking
track.
You
got
the
playground,
you've
got
the
soccer
fields,
the
dog
park,
which
is
really
used,
and
I
have
a
little
group
out
there.
That's
going
to
start
trying
to
raise
some
funds
to
put
some
more
shake
structures
and
seating
out
there,
and
then,
of
course,
you
got
the
pickleball,
which
is
just
humongous
so
and
we
have
a
mississippi
pickleball
association.
B
Now
that
is
non-profit
so
and
they're
going
to
be
raising
some
phones
also
to
put
some
led
lights
and
a
big
cover
over
that
outdoor
thing.
I
do
want
to
touch
base
right,
quick
and
encourage
you
to
get
a
membership
here
at
schneider.
We
just
redid
our
pool
some
of
the
things.
Let
me
I'm
not
going
to
go
through.
Okay,
they
drain
the
pool
they
remove.
They
they
ground
they
cleaned
up.
All
the
stainless
steel
around
it.
They've
drained
the
pool
and
they've
repainted
the
plaster.
B
They
did.
A
major
major
thing
with
the
search
pit:
all
the
piping
was
breaking
and
cracking
so
they
wound
up
getting
all
that
done
too.
So
we
also
got
the
new
fencing
and
we're
in
the
process
of
getting
new
multi-room
doors
also,
but
the
pool
was
a
massive
undertaking
and
cleaning,
so
it's
practically
brand
new,
along
with
the
big
chillers.
We
just
had
that's
what's
freezing
in
here
so
but
anyway,
thank
you
for
your
time
and
if
y'all
want
some
information
on
pickleball
and
halloween
I'll,
be
glad
to
give
you
something.
A
Thank
you,
director
bell
and
if
you
haven't
played
pickleball,
yet
it's
actually
pretty
fun.
Oh,
I
know
mike
leonard's
been
out
there
and
we
battled
a
couple
times
on
the
pickleball
courts.
Another
person
I
didn't
acknowledge
is
our
director
of
public
relations.
Vincent
creel.
Are
you
getting
the
audio
on
this
very
well?
A
And
lastly,
I'll
probably
hear
this
more
than
from
any
other
director,
my
my
better
heifer.
She
calls
me
she
tells
me
if
I
say
that
I
better
say
my
better
quarter.
She
said
that
until
I
have
more
time
to
spend
with
her
it's
not
it's
not
going
to
be
my
better
half
chief
miller.
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
you
next
give
an
update
on
some
of
the
crime
statistics
and
some
of
the
traffic
issues
that
we
face
in
the
ward.
I
know
we've
we've
done.
A
We've
talked
enough
about
what's
going
on
on
pops,
ferry
road
and
the
speeding
issues
and
the
visibility
of
the
lights
and
we're
going
to
address
that,
with
with
the
cooperation
of
the
administration
and
the
public
safety
department
to
help
save
some
some
human
lives
and
some
accidents
in
that
area.
If
you
would
sure
so.
C
Keep
that
in
context
with
what
average
calls
for
us
throughout
the
city
for
every
seven
days
is
somewhere
between
two
thousand
and
three
thousand
calls
every
seven
days,
depending
on
the
month
of
the
year
and
what's
going
on,
if
there's
an
event
or
something
in
town,
so
3054
calls
is
actually
is
actually
pretty
low.
That
doesn't
mean
there
was
3054
problems,
because
people
call
us
for
everything
from
a
barking
dog
to
you
know,
help
them
change
their
tire.
C
So
you
never
know
what
those
things
are,
but
if
you'll
look
down
just
below
that,
you'll
see
the
following
calls
account
for
69
percent
of
the
calls
by
volume
all
right
and
then
you'll
you'll,
see
911,
hang
hang-ups.
170
of
those
from
like
I
said
january.
To
now
animal
control,
196
calls
alarm,
calls,
162.
C
building
checks
were
x,
56
patrol
was
a
thousand,
and
that's
where
officers
are
just
getting
out
of
their
cars
and
checking
businesses
and
walking
around
and
taking
a
look.
Medical
emergencies
are
249
suspicious
circumstances.
It
was
143
of
those
and
then,
and
that
could
be
suspicious
circumstance
could
be
anything
from
a
noise
that
somebody
heard
to
them.
Somebody
physically
seeing
someone
at
a
home
that
they're
not
familiar
with,
and
they
don't
think
they
should
be
there
and
then
traffic
stops
130
traffic
stops.
C
You
can
look
at
that
map
there
and
you
can
see
where
the
actual
incidents
themselves
were
and
then,
if
you
look
at
the
crime
category
by
type
now,
these
are
not
reflected
in
in
the
the
the
first
ones
that
we
talked
about
up
top.
But
if
you'll
look
traffic
traffic
is
one
of
the
bigger
issues
in
ward
4.,
and
that's
that's,
that's
you.
That's
that's,
usually
not
that
way
for
the
other
for
the
other
wards.
C
So
the
majority
of
the
problems
that
we
have
are
with
traffic
and
then
you'll
see
simple
assaults
falls
next
and
then
larcenies
actually
burglaries
was
was
extremely
low
in
ward
4
compared
to
the
other,
the
other
awards.
If
you
will
flip
over
to
that
back
page
you'll,
see
everything
listed
there
and
you'll
see.
The
majority
of
the
offenses
are
down
from
last
year,
with
the
exception
of
the
ones
that
are
highlighted
in
red
so
and
that
the
first
one
is
is
larson's.
There
was
26
larcenies
and
there
was
19
last
year.
C
So
it's
up
37
percent
and
you'll
see
citywide.
It
was
861.,
so
again
very
low
and
then
three
three
percent
that
counts
for
three
percent
of
the
city
and
then
you'll
just
come
right
on
down.
You'll
see
embezzlement
and
embezzlement
is
up.
Fifty
percent,
but
you'll
see
there
was
three
in
addition
in
2020
and
there
was
two
in
2019.
So
when
it
looks
like
it's
up
50
that
looks
like
a
big
number.
C
But
if
you
look
at
the
actual
numbers,
there's
not
that
many
and
then
you
can
just
look
at
the
rest
of
those
for
yourself.
But
again,
traffic
is
the
one.
The
issue
in
ward
4
that
we're
we're
we're
we've
been
dealing
with
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
deal
with
it
and
a
lot
of
that
deals
with
potts
ferry
road
and
some
of
the
other
roads
off
of
pop
ferry
were
predominantly
speeders
and
a
lot
of
that,
the
numbers
you
see
there
account
for
a
lot
of
citations
that
have
been
written
there.
C
All
right:
well,
what
I'm
gonna
do
next
is
ask
chris
debeck
to
come
up.
Chris
runs
a
criminal
investigation
division
and
he's
also
responsible
for
the
camera
systems
that
you've
been
hearing
about
that
are
going
up
all
over
the
city
and
chris,
I
think,
can
probably
explain
that
better
than
I
can
so.
Chris.
D
Let
me
get
that
if
you
look
at
the
first
sheet
that
that
I
handed
out
on
that
very
first
sheet
talks
about
project
nola.
What
project
nola
is
is
a
non-profit
organization
in
new
orleans,
of
course,
who
started
a
camera
system
in
new
orleans,
they're
expanding
throughout
the
company
of
the
country,
but
what
they
do
is
they
have
a
low-cost
system
that
gives
us
access
to
that
video
coverage,
mainly
it
goes
on
businesses,
but
it
also
goes
on
residents
as
well.
D
If
you
notice
down
in
the
the
bullet
points,
it
talks
about
a
cost-associated,
cloud-based
storage
of
digital
video
data
would
be
about
240..
What
that
is,
is
240
a
year.
That's
the
only
recurring
cost
to
the
to
the
business
or
individual
that
purchases
it
part
of
the
program
is
when
you
install
the
camera.
D
Let's
say
you
put
it
on
the
front
of
your
house.
Well,
it
has
to
cover
either
a
city
park
or
a
city
roadway,
but
the
way
the
cameras
are
they're
so
wide
angled.
That
they'll
cover
the
entire
front
of
your
property
driveways
and
all
that,
along
with
the
city
street,
and
then
you
can
have
as
many
cameras
from
there
as
you
want,
but
the
that
you
purchased
and
then
the
the
the
price
of
the
camera.
Of
course
you'd
have
to
call
them
because
they
have
so
many
different
cameras.
D
D
What
that
does
is
it
gives
us
access
to
that
one
camera,
the
initial
camera.
If
you
put
cameras
on
your
swimming
pool
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
we
don't
care
about
that.
We
we
want
the
public
areas
on
these
and
I'll
get
to
more
in
depth
here
in
a
minute,
but
on
the
the
following
page,
it
talks
about
the
community
safety
initiatives,
that's
a
program
called
fuses
and
that
what
that
company
does
is
there's
these
for
lack
of
better
terms,
black
boxes
that
identifies
cameras.
D
D
The
other
part
is
you
can
sign
up
to
where
we
have
access
to
the
to
the
video
live,
live
footage
most
of
time,
that's
businesses
that
are
doing
that,
but
that's
a
free
program.
If
you
already
have
existing
cameras,
you
don't
have
to
buy
into
project
nola,
but
the
whole
part
of
this
is
or
the
the
whole
thing
with
this
is
so
that
we
can
investigate
crimes
more
thoroughly.
Have
access
to
that
video
coverage
like
in
your
in
your
crime
stats.
D
Not
only
does
it
help
us
in
investigations,
but
with
all
the
events
and
the
more
and
more
events
coming
up
each
year.
If
cameras
are
in
those
those
areas
like
mardi
gras,
on
the
east
and
and
all
the
stuff
on
90,
it
gives
us
access
to
video
footage,
so
we
can
see
what's
going
on
real
time
during
that
event
and
help
move
personnel
or
whatever
we
need
to
around
to
have
better
coverage.
D
Okay,
all
this
is
set
up
through
the
real
our
real-time
crime
center,
which
is
through
our
intel
unit.
We
started
building
it
february
of
last
year
and
what
what
it
does
is
what
they
do
is
they
do
a
lot
of
background
checks
for
our
investigations
like
through
social
media
and
everything
and
sources
like
that,
then
they
also.
They
also
monitor
the
cameras.
D
Now,
when
I
say
monitor,
it's
not
like
every
camera
is
being
monitored,
24
7,
because
we
just
don't
have
the
the
monitor
the
people
or
the
monitors
for
that.
But
if
they
know
there's
a
problem
going
on,
they
can
switch
over
to
that
camera.
When
officers
are
first
responding
to
it
and
see,
what's
going
on,
provide
real-time
data
to
those
officers
so
like
if
a
car
is
leaving,
they
can
give
that
description,
direction
and
travel
and
everything
else.
E
A
A
So
there
are
a
lot
of
ramifications
when
we
put
speed
bumps
on
a
road,
and
so
if
anybody
has
any
particular
concerns
with
that,
please
talk
to
me
we'll
discuss
everything
regarding
that,
but
we
are
looking
into
doing
traffic
studies
on
those
areas
that
we
think
have
some
increased
traffic
and
speed
due
to
the
backup
on
pops
ferry
road.
Now
pops
fairy
road
is
widened
and
broadened
into
two-way
traffic,
both
north
and
south.
I
think
that
will
really
alleviate
some
of
the
people
looking
to
find
alternate
routes
off
of
pops
ferry
road.
F
So
since
councilman
deming
started
on
the
bridge,
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit,
we
are
still
moving
forward
with
plans
for
the
new
potts
ferry
bridge.
We
have
recently
completed
our
environmental
phase
of
that,
so
that
was
a
big
hurdle.
We've
been
working
towards
that
for
a
long
time,
just
gotten
the
approval
from
that.
F
Our
administration
has
been
very
proactive
in
looking
for
grants
and
talking
to
our
our
counterparts
and
the
state
and
federal
level
to
to
see
what's
out
there
for
us.
So
right
now
we
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
be
built,
but
it
will
eventually
be
built.
We
just
you
know
just
moving
along
slowly
on
that,
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
have
done
and
y'alls
in
your
ward
we've
recently,
chip
sealed
repaved,
baywood,
west
rustwood
camp
wilkes
trey
will
trail
wood
in
darwood.
F
We
also
did.
This
is
kind
of
on
the
edge
of
y'all's
ward
churchill,
ditch
emergency
repairs.
There
was
a
big
sinkhole
where
the
keisler
high-pressure
gas
main
comes
through.
We
made
that
repair.
We
found
out
that
the
pipe
was
collapsed
underneath
it.
So
it's
really
improved
the
drainage
in
that
area.
We
hope
that
it
keeps
churchill
from
flooding
as
much
we're
kind
of
there.
F
We
have
some
more
work
planned
in
that
dr
tisdell's
been
working
with
me
with
that,
because
that's
actually
in
his
wards
across
the
street
and
so
right
now
we're
kind
of
just
in
a
wait
and
see
pattern
to
see
how
it's
operating.
Now
that
we've
got
that
pipe
fixed
there,
a
couple
other
things
that
we've
done.
This
has
been
probably
a
year
or
so
ago,
but
we
did
the
repairs
to
the
concrete
roads
and
curbs
in
labonte
air.
So
that
was
something
that
I
know.
F
Councilman
dilling
had
pushed
really
hard
for
us
to
get
done
because
those
were
roads
were
in
poor
condition.
I
think
there's
still
some
areas
we
need
to
do,
but
we
did
get
a
bunch
of
them
done.
We
have
done
some
dredging
the
places
we've
done:
sharon,
hills
and
holly
hills
about
two
years
ago.
We
did
alicia
mercedes
that
same
time
frame.
F
We
are
continuing
to
work
on
getting
permits
for
dredging
right
now,
we're
that
are
in
the
in
the
next
phase
are
going
to
be
patricia
place
in
thornhill
and
west
shore
drive
and
north
shore
drive
I'll
come
back
to
dredging.
I
want
to
talk
about
one
more
project,
real,
quick
or
two
more
projects,
real
quick,
because
we
do
have
some
consult
our
consultants
here
to
talk
to
y'all
about
the
beauchen
dredging
and
why
that
can't
be
done
at
this
time.
F
We've
got
some
permitting
issues
with
that,
but
before
we
get
to
them,
we
are
also
working
on
the
sun,
kiss
country
club
sidewalk.
So
we're
going
to
connect
from
beau
shin
all
the
way
to
potts
ferry
road
connect
that
sidewalk
do
a
little
bit
of
drainage
work.
There's
some
a
swale
there,
that's
not
working
properly,
so
we're
working
on
that
right
now.
We
hope
to
have
that
in
the
next
month
or
two
see
the
construction
start.
F
We
also
are
working
on
a
traffic
study
for
atkinson
road
intersection.
The
bertucci
subdivision
that's
coming
in
there.
I
don't
know
the
status
of
that
subdivision.
That's
really
kind
of
jerry's
thing,
but
in
anticipation
of
that
development,
we're
paying
for
a
traffic
study
to
find
out
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
to
handle
the
additional
traffic
coming
out
of
that
development.
F
A
Couple
things
that
I
wanted
to,
I
was
hoping
you
might
mention
when
it
comes
to
the
traffic
studies
of
of.
Let
me
know
if
you
can
hear
me
from
here,
so
I
don't
have
to
crowd
her
when
you
talk
about
the
traffic
cities
of
atkinson.
There's
been
a
lot
of
concern
when
I
talked
about
people
using
other
neighborhoods
to
divert
their
their
travels
from
the
traffic
backups
on
pops
ferry
road,
we're
talking
about
extending
pops
railroad
to
the
beach
which
would
increase
more
traffic
coming
off
of
I-10.
F
Yes,
so
as
a
part
of
the
bridge
project,
we
are
going
to
be
addressing
the
the
traffic
there
because
there
is
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
a
new
four
lane
road
all
the
way
across.
So
we're
looking
at
a
couple
different
alternatives.
One
of
them
is
going
to
be
a
traffic,
a
roundabout
there,
which
helps.
I
know
people
don't
like
roundabouts,
but
it
helps
the
flow
of
traffic.
It
keeps
things
from
backing
up,
because
people
don't
have
to
stop
that's
one
of
the
options.
These
these
things
are
not
decided.
Yet.
F
That's
kind
of
the
phase
we're
in
is
that
we're
looking
at
what
we're
going
to
do
part
of
the
thing
about
talking
about
cut
people
cutting
down
atkinson
off
of
pop's
ferry
there.
Some
of
the
other
things
that
are
going
to
happen
is
you
know
you
might
not
be
able
to
cut
off
and
go
straight
down
atkinson.
You
might
you
know
we're
going
there's
that
intersection.
It's.
F
And
beyond,
yeah,
that's
right!
So
we're
kind
of
looking
at
that
we're
trying
to
incorporate,
which
is
why
we're
doing
the
traffic
study
try
to
incorporate
to
what
the
impacts
of
that
development
are
going
to
be.
But
we
are
looking
very
heavily
at
that
intersection
to
try
to
make
some
changes
there
to
so
that
traffic
doesn't
get
backed
up
and
everything
keeps
moving
and
to
make
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
travel.
Maybe
people
won't
want
to
cut
through
their
side
neighborhoods
as
much.
F
So
we
have
seen
more
so
they
can
discuss
and
they're
our
consultant
that
works
with
us
on
our
dredging
permits,
because
it
takes
us
about
oh
a
year,
if
not
more,
for
us
to
get
the
permits
to
do.
The
dredging
and
one
of
our
particular
sites
that
we
have
been
working
very
hard
on
and
that
councilman
deming
has
been
pushing
for
us
to
do
is
beau
shin,
and
so
we
got
bobby
weaver
here,
he's
going
to
update
y'all
on
why
we
haven't
done
that
one.
Yet.
Thank.
A
G
Most
welcome,
as
I
said,
we
embarked
on
a
seven
site,
dredge
permit
package
with
the
city
and
augmenting
the
city
engineering
staff,
one
of
the
requirement
on
any
dredging
project
is
you
have
to
go
out
and
do
an
sav
shellfish
study
survey.
It's
submerged
aquatic
vegetation
and
you're
looking
to
see,
if
there's
any
shellfish
beds
that
might
be
in
the
water
bottom,
they
could
be
impacted
by
dredging
operation
in
past
years.
Most
that
we've
encountered
in
our
savs
has
been
like
a
widgeon
grass
which
grows
right
along
the
shoreline.
G
It
might
come
out
five
or
six
feet
and
stops
here
of
late,
we're
finding
more
of
a
species
called
eelgrass
and
it's
basically
growing
across
the
entire
water
bottom
of
the
bayou
and
depending
on
the
type
of
grass
it
is,
and
whether
or
not
it's
a
man-made
or
a
natural
bayou,
there's
different
requirements
for
permitting
by
the
dmr
and
the
the
army
corps
of
engineers.
Under
the
magnus
stephenson
act,
they
are
considered
an
essential,
essential
fish
habitat.
G
G
If
it's
a,
if
it's
a
man
made
by
you
and
it's
a
protective
species,
they
will
allow
you
to
move
forward
permitting
as
long
as
you
mitigate
the
damage
or
the
impact.
So
just
if
we
have
an
acre
of
savs
impacted
by
the
dredging
you're
going
to
have
to
mitigate
we're,
hoping
one
to
one
there's
some
discussion
three
to
one,
so
we
were
hoping.
If
we
impact
one
acre,
we
can
mitigate
one
acre,
not
mitigate
three
acres,
which
some
wetland
species
do
require
the
three
acre
mitigation.
G
So
there
is
an
added
cost,
it's
associated
with
a
dredge
project
when
you
encounter
that
type
of
circumstance,
the
other
savs
you
may
have
is
is
an
invasive
species,
I'm
not
sure.
If
you've
paid
attention
about
a
year
or
so
ago,
there
was
this
in
gaucher
called
the
koi
candy
or
it's
a
giant
salvenia.
G
G
You
know.
If
it's
an
invasive
species
in
a
man-made
you
can
perceive,
I
mean
in
a
man-made,
you
can
proceed
with
permitting.
So
those
are
some
of
the
challenges
and,
as
I
alluded
to
at
the
beginning,
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
this
eelgrass
completely
covering
the
water
bottoms.
We
we
encountered
it
at
shady
place.
We
encountered
it
beauchamp,
we
encountered
it
at
cedar
lake
spring
lane.
We
encountered
it
linda
drive.
We
countered
in
the
northern
portion
of
savannah
place
by
you
that
we
looked
at
in
a
master
dredge
project.
G
G
A
E
H
H
Since
the
last
ward
meeting
we
we
spoke
briefly
before
we've,
we
opened
station
seven
there
pops
and
pass
I'm
sorry
pops
and
see
the
league
in
in
that
station
we
placed
a
engine
crew,
a
ladder,
truck
crew,
a
heavy
rescue
and
a
bat
chief.
It's
greatly
increased
our
capability
up
north
north
of
the
bridge
there
as
a
as
a
department,
it
added
a
training
facility
for
us
added
the
tower.
You
might
see
the
tower
you'll
see
our
guys
on
it.
Police
department
will
do
a
little
training
out
there.
Also.
H
It's
also
got
our
eoc.
If
we
go
into
a
cat
three
to
five
storm,
we'll
we'll
run
our
emergency
operations
from
that
from
that
facility.
We
do
a
lot
of.
We
moved
a
lot
of
our
special
operations
up
up
that
way.
As
far
as
our
hazmat
team,
our
swift
water
teams,
our
structural
collapse,
trench
collapse,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
We
move
to
that
station
because
it's
more
centrally
located
for
response
from
that.
H
From
from
that
area,
we
have
our
our
hot
topic
right
now
within
the
fire
department's
cruising
the
coast,
we're
with
all
emergency
services,
police
department,
fire
and
ems
are
busily
planning
putting
all
of
our
plans
together.
For
that
thing
for
for
response
in
that
area,
anything
else
you'll.
I
will
smoke
detector
program
this
year
due
to
covid
we're
not
going
to
do
that
door-to-door
deal
that
we
usually
do
next
month,
but
if
anybody
needs
a
smoke
detector,
we
encourage
you
to
call
435-6200
or
435-6209
give
them
your
address.
H
A
J
Thank
you,
councilman
demi,
usually
when
we
have
a
ward
meeting
and
it
comes
to
community
development,
people
want
to
know
about
two
things:
they
want
to
know
about
new
projects
and
they
want
to
know
about
code
enforcement.
That's
typically
the
way
it's
handled
right
now
we
have
about
75
million
dollars
worth
of
permitted
projects
out
there
that
are
under
active
construction.
J
J
J
J
We've
just
opened
the
newman
seafood
on
cavett
street
and
right
now,
that's
just
seafood
sales,
but
that's
eventually
going
to
have
a
small
restaurant
inside
for
those
of
you
that
are
familiar
with
the
char
restaurant
over
in
ocean
springs.
You
probably
know
that
they're
going
to
be
relocating
to
biloxi
they're,
currently
renovating
the
old
mardi
gras
museum,
so
that
they
can
move
into
that
building.
J
We
issued
the
new
the
certificate
of
occupancy
today
on
the
new
shipley
donuts
on
pops
ferry
road
they're,
going
to
be
opening
in
two
weeks.
They
want
to
be
open
in
time
for
cruising
the
coast.
We've
got
right
now
we
have
a
160
new
single
family
houses
under
construction
in
biloxi.
So
I'll
tell
you
residential
is
in
a
lot
of
ways
it's
carrying
us
right
now,
but
you
know
you
bring
the
you
bring
the
residents
here
and
then
the
rooftops
bring
the
commercial
development
here.
J
I've
got
two
code
enforcement
officers
that
cover
the
entire
city
of
biloxi,
but
in
the
new
budget
we
have
two
positions
that
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
fill
right
after
the
new
budget
goes
into
effect
october.
The
first
one
of
the
one
of
the
big
things
that's
helping
us
out
now,
though,
is
that
we've
we've
separated
community
court
from
the
municipal
court
and
we're
having
a
separate
court
for
community
court.
J
We
do
have
the
ability
to
come
out
and
investigate
complaint
cases
fairly
quickly.
So
if
you
have
something
in
your
neighborhood
that
looks
like
a
code
violation
or
just
doesn't
look
right.
If
you'll
call
our
office
we'll
get
someone
out
there
to
investigate
it
so
and
that's
pretty
much
it
for
my
department,
jerry.
A
J
Okay,
we
get
this
question
a
good
bit.
You
know
what
is
the,
what
does
the
code
actually
say
about
people,
parking
boats
or
rvs
in
their
front
yards,
and
what
it
is
is
that,
right
now
we
have
conflicting
language
in
the
land,
development
ordinance.
There's
one
section
that
says
that
you
have
to
park
your
boat
or
your
rv,
either
to
the
side
or
in
the
rear
of
your
structure,
but
there's
another
section
that
says
that
you're
allowed
to
have
an
additional
parking
space
in
the
front
for
an
rv
or
a
boat.
J
J
Councilman
deming
and
I
talked
right
before
the
meeting
about
bringing
that
back
up
so
that
we
can
get
it
either
one
way
or
the
other,
and
we
can
clarify
that
language
right
now,
it's
kind
of
impossible
for
us
to
enforce
it
unless,
unless
that
motor
rv
is
in
really
bad
shape,
if
it
is-
and
we
can
address
it
from
the
poor
condition
standpoint,
but
hopefully
we'll
get
that
language
corrected
in
the
land
development
ordinance
and
we
can
start
enforcing
that.
So
that's
it
for
me
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
And
so
when
we
look
at
the
conflicting
code
sections
my
my
resolution
was:
if
you
have
a
finished
surface,
you
know
if
it's
not
just
parked
in
your
front
yard,
but
it's
actually
on
a
finished
surface
then
maybe
we
could
do
something
that
would
look
a
amenable
to
the
rest
of
the
neighbors
and
the
rest
of
the
community
as
they
drive
by.
We
have
a.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
people
that
that
put
their
boat
in
places
and
we
get
a
lot
of
calls
and
I
get
them
all
all
day
long
all
year,
long
about
the
displeased
location
in
which
their
boat
sits.
It
sits
in
a
yard
and
grass
grows
up
around
it
and
I
can
sympathize
with
the
neighborhood.
I
can
also
sympathize
with
the
boat
owners,
so
we're
trying
to
find
some
common
ground
to
make
that
work
for
everyone.
A
A
So
we
will
do
what
we
can
to
repair
that
everything
takes
money.
Money
takes
time,
but
we
are.
We
are
not
ignoring
the
process
of
repairing
those
those
road
issues.
We
also
discussed
the
pops
ferry
speedway,
and
one
thing
that
I
can
address
is
that
we've
talked
about
that
turn
lane.
When
people
travel
southbound
on
pops
ferry
road,
they
jump
into
that
turn
lane
to
fly
past
everybody.
I've
seen
people
cut
off
sideswiped
the
house
at
the
end
of
of
north
country
club
road
almost
get
driven
into
numerous
times.
A
I'm
going
to
open
up
the
the
floor
to
questions.
If
anybody
has
any
concerns,
I'd
love
to
hear
them,
I'm
always
look.
We
can't
be
in
every
every
area
at
all
times.
I
rely
on
your
eyes,
your
ears
and
your
voice
to
let
us
know
which
easements
we're
not
repairing
when
we're
not
repairing
them
which
roads
need
potholes
fixed.
So
this
is
this.
Is
your
chance
to
communicate
with
me
and
always
feel
free
to
call
me,
I
have
my
city
cell
phone
with
me.
At
all
times
you
can
reach
me,
go
to
the
website.
A
K
E
E
We
each
one
of
the
the
directors
you
know
saw
their
budget
for
the
last
quarter,
just
shrink
down
trying
to
get
us
across
the
finish
line
in
positive
territory
this
year
and
we're
what
just
a
week
away
now.
So
we're
we're
going
to
get
there,
but
that
was
it.
It
was
just
tough
that
was
10
of
our
budget
that
we
lost
10
with
which,
which
would,
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
wouldn't
have
been
so
bad.
E
But
ten
percent
with
only
three
months
to
go,
was
a
huge
hole
to
fill,
but
we're
going
to
get
there,
thankfully
we're
having
a
they
call
it
in
the
news,
a
v-shaped
recovery,
meaning
that
we
went
down
fast
and
we're
coming
back
up
fast,
we're
sitting
right
now.
Our
gaming
and
sales
tax
are
running
at
90
percent
of
what
our
original
budget
was.
That's
remarkable
we're
we're
all
surprised
that
it
had
come
back
that
quickly
and
that's
going
to
help
us
get
get
a
good
start
on
this
new
2021
budget.
E
That's
will
kick
off
just
in
another
week
or
so
a
couple
things
you're
going
to
see.
We've
raised
the
trash
cost.
We
do
that
only
because
the
trash
cost
to
us
went
up
by
the
same
amount.
So
that's
a
pass
through.
There's,
no
there's
no
profit
on
the
trash,
so
your
trash
is
going
to
go
up,
30
cents
30
cents
a
month.
E
Here
in
in
ward,
four
you've
got
a
couple
of
elevated
tanks.
You've
got
three
wells.
You've
got.
You
know
multiply
that
by
seven
wards
we
have
to
our
water
sewer
fund,
which
is
runs
like
a
business.
It
doesn't
not
like
the
rest
of
the
departments
that
water
sewer
fund
in
order
to
stay
healthy,
it's
there's
got
to
be:
we've
got
to
actually
make
a
profit
on
selling
water
and
selling
sewer
services,
and
that
profit,
then
is
driven
must
be
spent
in
the
water
sewer
department.
E
E
E
E
E
The
last
the
last
one
I
want
to
share
with
you
is
this:
this
pack
of
paper,
I'm
holding
this
happens
to
be
all
the
phone
calls
I
got
today
and
I
I
kind
of
went
off
this
morning
when
I
read
the
sound
off
in
the
newspaper
about
the
lady
that
called
the
mayor
four
times
and
never
got
a
call
back
well,
she
got
a
call
back
for
me
and
I
finally
found
out
what
her
problem
was.
She
was
upset
she
couldn't
sell
cookies
at
the
farmer's
market.
E
Four
times
you
know
she
calls
out
cookies.
I
would
tell
you
we're
more
than
happy
to
respond
to
calls
and
we'll
try
and
get
back
to
you
if
you're
going
to
call
city
hall,
try
and
have
and
give
the
receptionist
or
whoever
answers
the
phone
a
reason
why
you've
called
so
that
we
can
do
some
research
when
I
have
a
call
from
somebody-
and
I
just
have
a
name
and
a
phone
number.
E
I
don't
know
what
the
problem
is,
but
if
I
knew
the
problem
I
could
do
a
little
research
before
I
made
the
call
and
probably
have
the
answer,
so
I
would,
I
would
tell
you:
don't
I'm
not
discouraging
people
calling
city
hall,
but
I'm
saying
we
do
have
a
customer
service
number
in
public
works
and
if
it's
a
public
works
call,
that's
the
appropriate
place
to
go.
If
it's
a
crime
problem,
it's
better
call
the
police
department.
E
If
it's
a
general
issue
with
performance
of
the
somebody
in
the
city
or
whatever
police,
the
mayor
is
more
than
happy
to
or
or
one
of
us
will
take
a
call
and
so
forth,
and
if
you'll
read
vincent
creel's,
weekly
or
daily
newspaper
and
monthly
newspaper
you'll
be
able
to
keep
up
with
a
lot
on.
What's
going
on,
you
said
two
percent.
E
That's
30
cents,
a
month,
30
cents
a
month
and
the
the
sewer
bill.
You
know
it
goes
yeah
35
cents
a
month
and
we
said
30
cents
a
month
for
the
trash
35
cents
a
month
for
the
water
and
the
sewer
combined.
So
we've
got
a
little
trash
problem
right
now.
I
don't
know
if
you've
read
about
it
anywhere
yet,
but
the
the
the
storm
that
just
passed
through
here
took
the
recycling
facility
where
all
our
recycling
materials
taken
goes
to
goes
to
pensacola.
E
So
the
roof
went
off
the
building,
no
no
no
place
to
take
the
recycling,
and
we
are
struggling
right
now
trying
to
figure
out,
along
with
waste
management,
what
to
do
with
all
the
recyclable
material
there.
The
the
bins
are
filling
up.
There's
nowhere
to
take
it.
They
have
an
opportunity,
the
closest
place
they
can
take.
It
is
in
art
to
arkansas
you
can
imagine
the
cost
of
shipping
all
the
recycling
to
arkansas.
So
I'm
not
sure
where
that's
going
to
come
out.
E
I
think
some
of
it
probably
is
going
to
go
in
the
ground
where
a
lot
of
other
people
that
don't
recycle
you
know
put
theirs
anyway,
so
we
may
have
to
have
a
sort
of
a
pause
on
recycling
for
a
while
until
we
have
a
place
to
take
the
recycled
materials,
but
we're
we're
actually
relatively
happy
with
the
trash
company.
We
have,
we
think
they're
doing
a
better
job
than
who
we
used
to
have
and-
and
that
includes
the
the
pelican
waste
guys
that
pick
up
the
tread.
E
The
debris
I
mean
there
are
times
they
can't
get
to
you.
I
I'm
pretty
impressed
that
if
they
don't
get
to
me
when
they're
supposed
to
on
friday,
they'll
get
their
saturday
and
sometimes
on
sunday,
they
just
keep
going
until
they
get
caught
up.
They
miss
somebody
every
once
in
a
while.
They
get
fined
when
they
miss
somebody,
so
they're
incentivized
to
not
miss
you.
One
of
the
gentlemen
here
on
on
bay
vista
called
me
about
two
weeks
ago,
because
they
weren't
picking
up
his
trash.
Well,
they
weren't,
there's
oftentimes.
E
There
is
a
reason
we
weren't
picking
up
his
trash
because
he
piled
it
all
his
debris
underneath
an
overhanging
tree
and
they
could.
The
arm
could
not
reach
into
the
to
where
the
trash
was
so
once
we
figured
that
out,
we
we
got
public
works
to
go
over
there
and
cut
the
limbs
that
were
hanging
over
the
tree
over
the
street
and
then
public
works
picked
the
debris
up
and
he
was
he
went
away
a
happy
customer,
but
so
we'll
try
and
get
to
those
one-offs.
E
All
of
us
are
a
little
annoyed
when
we
see
that
acua
fee,
because
what's
it
for
what
am
I
getting
it
for,
unfortunately,
back
in
the
1990s
and
ended
into
the
early
part
of
the
the
new
millennium,
we
had
new
laws
that
went
into
effect
about
stormwater
clearwater,
clean
water
act,
how
how
the
processing
of
of
waste
and
none
of
the
cities
here
on
the
coast
had
the
money
to
meet
those
requirements.
So
we
banned
it
together
into
a
utility
authority
and
we
borrowed
a
lot
of
money.
E
And
it's
you
you,
you
know
our
our
wastewater
plants
were
all
had
to
be
redone
back
in
the
90s
because
they
weren't
meeting
meeting
this
you,
the
new
standards
and
let's
say
we
so
that
that's
that's
where
the
money
goes
to
and
we're
working
on,
trying
to
refinance
the
debt
and
the
mayor
has
pledged
that
if
we
refinance
the
debt
this
year
and
our
hcua
fee
goes
down,
it'll
be
passed
along
to
back
to
everybody
and
not,
and
we
won't.
We
won't
sit
on
that.
E
A
I
A
First
off
the
process:
we're
not
going
to
use
that
process
again.
Second
off
it's
a
financial
thing,
and
so
we
for
paving
as
we
go
and
if
you
look
at
the
ward,
I
think
I
was
elected
in
2013,
we've
paved
since
I've
been
elected
and
these
are
roads
that
haven't
been
paved
in
30
years,
but
I'm
making
my
way
through
them.
Of
course,
I
have
to
get
the
council's
approval
to
spend
money
and
I
have
to
get
the
support
of
the
administration
and
we're
going
through
them
and
we're.
A
K
A
K
J
B
A
F
So
some
of
those
peers
in
that
particular
area
are
ones
that
have
gotten
damaged
continuously
every
every
little
storm
that
comes
in
they
get
damaged
yeah,
so
we're
actually
looking
at
doing
something
a
little
different
there
we're
not
sure.
Yet
what
we're
going
to
do,
but
we,
I
don't
think
that
you'll
see
us
put
those
back
like
they
are
now
good
job.
So
yeah.
K
K
A
G
Just
a
little
bit
northwest
of
there
broadest
site
is
one.
That's
been
permitted,
we'll
have
to
work
with
the
city
as
far
as
when
they
want
to
budget
the
funds
to
proceed
to
the
dredge
project.
We
are
seeking
permit
for
shady
place,
which
is
out
here
in
eagle
point,
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
permitting
for
linda
drive
by
you
now
once
those
are
permitted,
then
it
will
go
into
the
till
for
the
city
as
far
as
budgeting.
To
actually
do
the
dredge
project
itself,
we're
just
taking
it
through
permit.
G
F
So
we
actually
right
now
don't
have
any
other
dredging
projects
in
the
works.
We
don't
have
any
other
dread.
The
last
round
of
judging
we
finished
kind
of
depleted,
all
of
our
dredging
money
that
we
had
set
aside
so
we're
still
continuing
on
with
the
permitting,
because
the
permitting
takes
us
a
long
time
and
so
that
we
have
permits
ready
to
go
so
once
he's
finished
once
we
get
the
permits
on
this
round,
I
do
know
we
so
we're
starting
to
kind
of
make
the
list
about
what
we're
going
to
start
permitting.
F
M
A
That's
what
I
asked
the
cio
mike
leonard
to
discuss
right
now,
we're
trying
to
refinance
it
because
it
is
so
burdensome,
I'm
not
sure
what
percentage
is
biloxi
right
now,
oh
that
90
we
have
90
million
remaining,
but
we're
only
responsible
for
45
what
we're
gonna!
What
we're
doing
right
now
is
we're
attempting
to
refinance
with
the
lower
rates
on
the
market
and
if
we
refinance
those
low
with
the
our
bond
percentage,
that
we
owe
we'll
pass
that
savings
on
to
you
we're
not
going
to
sit
on
it.
A
Divert
funds
use
money
for
anything
else.
We
will
pass
it
on
to
you
guys,
but
it's
still
45
million
or
so
that
the
city
of
biloxi
has
to
contribute
to
finally
pay
that
off.
I
don't
imagine
that
we're
going
to
see
that
that
service
charge
go
away
anytime
soon
it
did.
It
came
from
a
bond
issue
in
the
late
90s
that
was
before
my
time.
So
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
E
K
A
You're
absolutely
correct,
and
that
was
the
number
one
thing
that
people
asked
me
the
first
time
I
walked
neighborhoods
to
run,
and
this
is
why
we're
refinancing
this
stuff,
because
I
know
we
can't
get
out
of
that
anytime
soon,
so
we're
attempting
to
refinance
these
to
bring
that
price
down
for
you,
that's
what
we're
doing.
There's
we're
not
going
to
get
rid
of
it
and
I
hate
to
say
that
there's
nothing
I
can
do
or
anybody
else
in
the
council
can
do
about
that.
A
Well,
you
get
a
better
water
system
and
a
better
sewer
system.
That's
that's
what
the
service
was
for
before
my
time,
the
the
we
had
to
comply
with
the
new
laws
that
came
out,
but
it
provided
us
new
water
treatment
facilities,
new
sewer
systems
it
was
it
was,
it
was
to
upgrade
and
improve
the
the
delivery
of
water
and
the
removal
of
waste.
E
A
Well,
we
would
never
do
that
because
we're
biloxi
and
we're
as
transparent
as
we
can
possibly
be
and
we'll
always
be
that
way.
But
that's
that's
what
you
get
for.
That's
what
you've
got
for
and
that's
what
you'll
pay
for
for
the
rest
of
my
life,
probably
but
I'll
do
my
best
to
to
keep
that
cost
as
far
down
as
possible,
but
that
that's
yes,
sir,
mr
bridal,
at.
M
A
You're
right
and
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
have
done
to
upgrade
and
improve
the
city
of
biloxi
and
we're
working
on
it
and
I'll.
Take
notes.
Call
me
anytime
that
you
see
something
that
you
think
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
and
I'll
pay
attention
to
it,
but
you're
right
there.
There
isn't
a
flag
here,
except
on
my
face
and
that's
something
that
we
should.
We
should
address
absolutely
all
right.
A
It's
122
million
120
years,
and
we
have.
I
know
that,
because
we
talked
about
it
before
I
was
in
office
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
talk
about
it
and
that's
why
I
reached
out
to
congressman
palazzo's
office
prior
to
running
against
him.
I've
I've
tried
to
work
with
the
state
reps
and
everybody
else
to
get
state
funding.
This
is
something
we
need
support
for
from
every
level
of
government,
federal
state
and
local
and
we've
we've
we've
offered
match
money.
A
We've
done
plenty
of
things
to
try
to
incentivize
state
and
federal
government
to
help
us
with
that.
There
was
a
lot
of
money
set
aside
for
for
road
and
bridge
improvements.
Of
course
we
run
into
numerous
problems
and
we
rely
on
the
federal
government
and
wait
for
them
to
give
us
back
some
of
our
money
that
we
give
them.
But
that's
the
problem.
The
problem
is
the
the
absorbent
cost.
