There came on for consideration at a duly constituted meeting of the Mayor and Members
of the City Council of the City of Gulfport, Mississippi, held on the day of ,
2022, the following Ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. __________
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS AND SECTIONS
IN CHAPTER 7, ARTICLE III IN THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI ASSOCIATED WITH ANIMALS
WHEREAS, the Governing Authority of the City of Gulfport, Mississippi has previously
enacted an ordinance that pertains to animal control and regulations associated therewith, which
is codified in Chapter 7, Article III in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Gulfport; and
WHEREAS, certain provisions contained therein are in need of amendment, specifically
the following, which presently read in pertinent part as follows:
Sec. 7-118. - Impoundment; registry and notice to owner.
(a) It shall be the duty of every police officer and animal officer of the city, or
other person designated by the city council, to apprehend any dog found
running at large contrary to the provisions of the division, and to impound any
such dog in the local animal shelter, or other suitable place. In the event no
such suitable place is available, such dog may be removed to any private
animal hospital or veterinary clinic or animal shelter that will take possession
of such dog under such agreement as may be made with the city.
Notwithstanding the above provisions in this section, any dog found running at
large and not having any identification that such dog has been vaccinated for
rabies, and any dog noticeably infected with rabies or other dangerous disease,
and any dog displaying any dangerous or vicious propensities as defined in this
division, which cannot reasonably and safely be apprehended and impounded,
may be slain by any police officer or animal officer as provided in this division.
(b) The police officer, animal officer, or other person as may be designated by the
city council, upon receiving any dog apprehended under this section and
impounded shall make a complete registry, entering the date, time, and place of
taking, the breed, color, marking, and sex of such dog, and, if known, or if it
can be determined from any metal tag attached to any collared dog, the serial
number of the vaccination for rabies and the year in which such dog was
vaccinated, and, if known, the name and address of the owner, keeper, or
harborer of such dog. Vaccinated dogs shall be separated from unvaccinated
Additionally, the police officer, animal control officer, or any other person
designated by the city to enforce these provisions shall scan impounded dogs
for the presence of a microchip and shall make reasonable efforts to notify the
owner of any dog with a microchip or with any other form of identification that
the dog has been impounded and inform such owner of the procedure and
conditions for redeeming the dog.
(c) The police officer, animal officer, or other person as may be designated by the
city council may seize or caused to be seized any dog whose owner, keeper, or
harborer is found to be in violation of any part of this division, and shall
impound or cause to be impounded such dog in a designated shelter. An
impounded dog is a dog which is three (3) months of age or older or a dog
which is tagged or microchipped and shall be held for a period not to exceed
five (5) days, and if reasonable corrections are not made by the owner, keeper,
or harborer of the dog so that the owner, keeper, or harborer is no longer in
violation of this division, then the dog shall be released to the local animal
shelter. Dogs which are under three (3) months of age or are not properly
tagged or microchipped shall be released to the local animal shelter upon
delivery to the shelter. The animal officer shall designate to the owner, keeper,
or harborer of the dog what corrective action is required to be in compliance
with this division. Thereupon, the impounded dog may be reclaimed within five
(5) days of impoundment upon payment of the costs incurred in confining and
keeping of such dog during impoundment, payment of the cost of inserting a
microchip in the dog and where applicable, payment of the cost of spaying or
neutering the dog and upon showing proof of current rabies vaccination. All
dogs shall be microchipped prior to being returned to an owner or released for
adoption. Dogs impounded for a second or subsequent time shall be spayed or
neutered prior being returned to an owner or released for adoption. The cost of
inserting a microchip and the cost of spaying or neutering shall not exceed the
actual reasonable cost incurred by the Humane Society of South Mississippi, its
authorized agents, or any other agency authorized by law to perform these
procedures.
(d) A police dog commissioned by a recognized law enforcement agency with a
current rabies vaccination who bites in the line of duty shall be exempt from
confinement under this section and shall be allowed to continue in a working
capacity.
WHEREAS, amendments to this Section and its provisions are needed as part of an
effort to attempt to curtail the increase in number of specific types or breeds of dogs that are
being impounded within the City and coming into contact or under control of the local animal
shelter and that the following proposed amendments are therefore found to be in furtherance of
the public health, safety, and welfare of citizens within the City, with proposed amendments
identified in bold, italicized, and underlined:

Notwithstanding the above provisions in this section, any dog found running at
large and not having any identification that such dog has been vaccinated for
rabies, and any dog noticeably infected with rabies or other dangerous disease,
and any dog displaying any dangerous or vicious propensities as defined in this
division, which cannot reasonably and safely be apprehended and impounded,
may be slain by any police officer or animal officer as provided in this division.
(b) The police officer, animal officer, or other person as may be designated by the
city council, upon receiving any dog apprehended under this section and

the dog has been impounded and inform such owner of the procedure and
conditions for redeeming the dog.

released to the local animal shelter upon delivery to the shelter. The animal
officer shall designate to the owner, keeper, or harborer of the dog what

Thereupon, the impounded dog may be reclaimed within five (5) days of
impoundment upon payment of the costs incurred in confining and keeping
of such dog during impoundment, payment of the cost of inserting a
microchip in the dog and where applicable, payment of the cost of spaying
or neutering the dog and upon showing proof of current rabies vaccination.
All dogs shall be microchipped prior to being returned to an owner or
released for adoption. Dogs impounded for a second or subsequent time
shall be spayed or neutered prior being returned to an owner or released
for adoption. The cost of inserting a microchip and the cost of spaying or
neutering shall not exceed the actual reasonable cost incurred by the
Humane Society of South Mississippi, its authorized agents, or any other
agency authorized by law to perform these procedures.
(2) Notwithstanding the above provisions in Section (c)(1), any impounded
dog in the category of “Pit Bull” (American Pit Bull Terrier, American
Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Bully, or
other breed or mixed breed that have the same or similar physical
characteristics that are common to dogs referred to as a pit bull) shall be
subject to enforcement of specific additional provisions as follows:

identification tag or microchip shall be released to the local
animal shelter and be available immediately for adoption.
(b) Any impounded dog in the Pit Bull category that weighs over 20
lbs upon initially entering the local animal shelter shall be
required to be spayed or neutered prior to being returned to an
owner or released for adoption.
(d) A police dog commissioned by a recognized law enforcement agency with a
current rabies vaccination who bites in the line of duty shall be exempt from
confinement under this section and shall be allowed to continue in a working
capacity.

OR WHICH POSITION IS IN AN ASSIGNED GRADE THAT EXCEEDS

WHEREAS, the Governing Authority for the City of Gulfport has established salaries of
compensation for certain positions of employment in the City that are reliant upon specialized
and professional knowledge and skills of the particular persons serving in such positions and
sometimes based upon, among other things, the job performance and longevity of specific
employees as a means of being competitive with opportunities in the private sector or elsewhere;
and
WHEREAS, the City’s Governing Authority previously found it best, as good stewards
of public monies, that upon the vacation of each and every employment position within the City
after the effective date of this Ordinance, which position has a yearly base salary of
compensation in excess of $40,000.00 in any of the Grade 100 and Grade 200 classifications as

the Governing Authority or which position is in an assigned Grade in the Grade 100 and Grade
200 classifications that exceeds $40,000 anywhere in its corresponding step range in the adopted
Grade/Step Schedule, that the salary of compensation for such vacant position should
automatically be set at $0.00 immediately upon such position becoming vacant so that the Mayor
and City Council then be required to jointly confer and agree on the allocation of funding for
each such vacated position moving forward, and that the affected position simultaneously be
removed from Grade/Step Schedule and not be re-included in this Schedule without further
action of the Governing Authority; and
WHEREAS, the foregoing was set forth in Ordinance No. 3106 that was adopted on
January 18, 2022, and as circumstances have changed since such time, to include the state of the
national and local economies and the City’s workforce, the Governing Authority does hereby
find that it is in the best interests of the City that this $40,000.00 amount be increased to
$60,000.00 and that Ordinance No. 3106, and its codified form in Section 1-46 in the City’s
Code of Ordinances, be amended consistent herewith.

adopted as the official findings of the Governing Authority of the City of Gulfport, Mississippi.

within the City of Gulfport, other than those in the fire and police departments, becomes
vacant that has a yearly base salary of compensation in excess of forty sixty thousand
dollars ($4 60,000.00) in any of the grade 100 and grade 200 classifications in the
grade/step schedule for salaries of compensation for city employees adopted by the
governing authority, or which position is in an assigned grade in the grade 100 and grade
200 classifications that exceeds forty sixty thousand dollars ($4 60,000.00) anywhere in
its corresponding step range in the adopted grade/step schedule, the salary of
compensation for such vacant position shall be, and hereby is, established to be zero
dollars ($0.00) immediately upon such vacancy occurring, regardless of cause, and which

compensation upon an affected position of employment becoming vacant, the affected
position shall be removed from the grade/step schedule for salaries of compensation for
city employees and to subsequently re-include the same in this schedule will require

1 MR. BROWN: Zoning Text Amendment 2210PC184
2 has been duly and timely noticed as required by law. The
3 applicant requests amendments to the Smart Code zoning
4 ordinance as amended, Section 1.8.1 damage due to emergency
5 conditions, Section 4.11.1 damage due to emergency
6 conditions, and Section 5.12.1 damage due to emergency
7 conditions. A copy of the package Exhibit 8 considered is
8 hereby offered to the record.
9 MR. WILLIAMS: Thank you.
10 Who's going to speak on this for us tonight?
11 MR. LONG: I'll comment on that real quick,
12 Mr. Chairman.
13 MR. WILLIAMS: All right.
14 MR. LONG: What we found, we were doing a
15 review on some of these code sections, and we found that all
16 three of these sections in the Smart Code regulations had
17 varying conditions in which you could repair a damaged
18 building under emergency conditions.
19 And so we sat down and had a discussion about
20 how to straighten out that language and before you, you
21 actually see some of the proposals. You're actually
22 probably seeing a third format on it versus its original
23 rendition, but relatively everything remains the same. What
24 we flushed out of it was we flushed out about the when you
25 could repair something or how long you'd have to repair
N.J. SOROE, CSR #1297
Certified Shorthand Reporter
3
1 something after an emergency is declared. So a causative
2 event is what it says by code. So, you know, unfortunately
3 after a hurricane or a tornado or something like that, how
4 long you had to repair it. So those specifics are in there
5 now.
6 And we were trying to make all three of those
7 conceptions the equivalent instead of one ( ) like
8 another.
9 MR. WILLIAMS: So this is just kind of
10 cleaning it up getting consistency throughout?
11 MR. LONG: Yes, sir.
12 MR. WILLIAMS: All right. Commissioners, any
13 questions on that?
14 Anyone here tonight to speak on this one way
15 or the other?
16 MR. FOSTER: Good evening. Jim Foster, 816
17 Lewis Avenue in Gulfport, Mississippi.
18 I'm on the CRC, and I just wanted to voice my
19 support of these changes. They make sense. They clarify
20 matters and give the ability to the CRC essentially to
21 provide extensions in the event of disasters of various
22 types.
23 MR. WILLIAMS: All right. Good deal. Thank
24 you, sir. Appreciate it. Appreciate your efforts on this,
25 too.

1 Anyone else here to speak?
2 MR. MCCOWN: I am William J. McCown, 702 Camp
3 Avenue, Gulfport, which is in the West Side.
4 I'm also a member of the CRC, the
5 Consolidated Review Committee. This change has gone through
6 the CRC, and we've worked to make that language consistent
7 in these three applicable sections of Appendix D.
8 MR. WILLIAMS: All right. Thank you, sir.
9 Appreciate your support of it and all the work you've put
10 into this throughout the years.
11 Anyone else here to speak on this case?
12 Commissioners, you've heard the explanation
13 and then two of the members of the committee speak in favor
14 and support of it. Any further questions or a motion,
15 please?
16 MS. ADOLPH: Mr. Chairman, I just have one
17 question.
18 MR. WILLIAMS: Certainly.
19 MS. ADOLPH: In terms of the text amendment
20 and the changes, how will that information be conveyed to
21 the citizenry? How will that -- so that we don't wait until
22 we have an emergency and then people, you know, for whatever
23 reason, insurance claims, whatever, do not know the process.
24 Will there be some kind of publicity campaign or something
25 put in the water bill, whatever, so people know about these
N.J. SOROE, CSR #1297
Certified Shorthand Reporter
5
1 changes?
2 MR. LONG: So that discussion actually came
3 up in the meetings, how would we convey that information.
4 And normally we start with the publication of the ordinance
5 in the paper. The ordinance will actually make its way into
6 the code books.
7 We absolutely could put it in the water
8 bills. And then we'd have to maybe isolate the areas of
9 Smart Code in the city so we could actually keep those costs
10 down.
11 If you would like to make that as a
12 recommendation from the planning commission, we would
13 absolutely do that. We could do it post City Council
14 approval, and when the City Council approves it, that would
15 incur any extra expenses.
16 One of the other things that came up was that
17 after the event, we would also put out that information to
18 let the public know that they have basically a two-year time
19 frame in the event of residential, have a two-year time
20 frame to come in and start the repair process. And that's
21 actually to start the repair process, not complete, just
22 start it. And commercial is one year, so you have one year
23 to start the repair process. And it also gave the CRC the
24 ability to issue extensions which was something that didn't
25 exist before, but we put it in here as a consideration for
N.J. SOROE, CSR #1297
Certified Shorthand Reporter
6
1 the board.
2 MR. WILLIAMS: It sounds good, sounds good.
3 MS. ADOLPH: Thank you.
4 MR. WILLIAMS: Ms. Virginia, I'm sure you're
5 confident that with the staff having talked about it, that
6 they will get the publicity out, so I'm not sure it needs to
7 be included in our motion to change it up in any way. But
8 glad that they recognized it and already working on it.
9 MS. ADOLPH: And I'm sure the CRC will make
10 the proper recommendation.
11 MR. WILLIAMS: Correct. Thank you, ma'am.
12 Any other questions or comments? Can we have
13 a motion on this one,please?
14 MR. SELLERS: Mr. Chairman, I move we approve
15 Case File 2210PC184, the zoning text amendment, as
16 presented.
17 MS. ADOLPH: Second.
18 MR. WILLIAMS: Got a motion and a second for
19 approval. Any further discussion? If not, all those in
20 favor signify by saying aye. Any opposed?
21 All right. It's been passed. So thanks for
22 all the work on that, gentlemen. Staff, thank you all for
23 working on that, too.

Todd Harman, CPA, Director of Finance and Accounting
Jeff Bruni, Esq, City Attorney
From: Wayne E. Miller, P.E., Director of Public Works and Engineering

Re: Recommendation to Approve Grant Adjustment Request
- Federal Railroad Administration
– FY 2017 Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grant
– All Aboard the Safety Train PE/NEPA Project (Quad Gate Project)
Attached for your consideration is a Federal Railroad Administration Grant Adjustment Request Form for
the referenced project. The grant adjustment request extends the current contract time from November 30,
2022 to June 30, 2023. There is NO cost for this change. The purpose for this extension is to allow the
engineering and estimate revisions to include an additional pedestrian safety design. CSX Railroad is in the
process of revising their plan which is expected to take up to 30 days if not longer, extending past the current
Project Performance Period of 11/30/2022. MDOT and CSX have both been notified of the revisions and
have no objections.
The project will install a new four (4) quadrant gate with a concrete median crossing signal system and
separate pedestrian gate. When built, the new gate system will improve the safety of nearly 49,000 vehicles
that travel this route daily and the increasing number of pedestrians that stroll the downtown area. Once
constructed, this gate system will also be a critical step in implementing a "quiet zone", a long-awaited goal
for the City of Gulfport residents that live along this railway.
I recommend approval of this adjustment request.

B. Please provide a detailed description and justification of the requested grant adjustment:
The City is requesting a grant amendment to extend the Project Performance Period and
Federal Funding Period by seven (7) months, from 11/30/2022 to 6/30/2023. The reason
for the extension is to allow for PE plan & estimate revisions to include additional pedestrian
safety designs. CSX is in the process of revising their plan which is expected to take up to
30 days but could take longer (CSX didn't confirm turnaround time), extending past the
current project Project Performance Period of 11/30/2022. MDOT and CSX have been
advised of the revisions and have no objections.
III. Certification of Authorized Representative
I have reviewed this request and certify that the proposed changes will improve my organization’s ability to
successfully execute project activities according to the grant or cooperative agreement. Furthermore, I certify that,
to the best of my knowledge, the request is allowable within the terms and conditions of the award.

RE: Request Cost Adjustment to Term Contract Group C3 – Hot Bituminous Pavement
The Public Works Department requests permission to allow Warren Paving Inc. to add $36,129.04 to the
upcoming October invoices due to a significantly higher cost for petroleum products. While the agreement
approved by the Council on December 8, 2020 purports to say that requests for price increases are rejected,
The City’s request for proposals associated with and incorporated by this agreement expressly states that a
price adjustment will be allowed based upon an industry wide cost index of petroleum products including
asphalt in the performance or execution of this contract. It is requested the council approve the finding that
the price adjustment permitted and set out in the request for proposals/bid documents is applicable and
should be utilized to permit an adjustment in the amount of $36,129.04 (see attached worksheet).
I recommend approval of this cost adjustment.
