City Council April 28, 2026

The City Council of Biloxi held a meeting on April 28, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related issues were discussed. Key topics included the financial challenges facing the city, such as the need for significant repairs to the West Biloxi Library, with repair estimates around $368,000, and limited maintenance budgets for HVAC and other city buildings. The council also discussed declaring Danella Park surplus property to potentially sell it for workforce housing development, with an amendment removing the park itself from the surplus declaration to explore other options. The council addressed zoning amendments to facilitate property development and discussed the need for stipulations on surplus property sales to ensure timely development. Additionally, the council reviewed insurance premium decreases through a cooperative property program and considered the financial constraints impacting city services and infrastructure maintenance. Motions were passed to declare certain parcels surplus and to adopt updated standard contract addenda to ensure municipal compliance with statutory law.
