# City Council Sept. 22, 2026

The City Council of Biloxi held a meeting on September 22, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included the approval of a resolution authorizing a first amendment to the out lease agreement with the United States Postal Service for the third floor of the post office building, and the acceptance of the city's risk management insurance program with a two-year locked workers' compensation rate. The council also reviewed insurance renewals, including a shift from ARCH to Employers for workers' compensation coverage, noting a premium decrease and locked rates. Additionally, updates were provided on capital improvement projects such as the Chick-fil-A development, which involved significant landscaping investments and sidewalk replacements, and the replacement of a sand filter at the city pool funded by bond money. The council discussed the scheduling and budgeting challenges related to citywide grass cutting and pothole repairs, emphasizing the need for operational improvements. Several extensions were granted for property code violations, and the council planned a workshop to prioritize bond-funded projects. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several resolutions and motions related to ongoing contracts and insurance programs were approved by unanimous votes.
