Members of the Biloxi City Council will meet Tuesday morning at 11:30 and return that afternoon for their regular 1:30 meeting, which will include three measures involving a proposed 84-unit condo development near the site of the former Biloxi Hilton on west beach.
The 11:30 meeting is actually a public hearing to hear comments regarding the city’s intent to cross a number of private properties to clear drainage systems and ditches of storm debris. To see a list of the properties, as included in a notice published two weeks ago, click here.
The 1:30 meeting includes 16 measures in all, including an ordinance that would limit the amount of time allotted for council members to speak at the outset of meetings.
