[4:53] of police is coming

[4:56] uh to uh present and to speak on behalf

[5:03] which we hate to see them go.

[5:06] All

[5:13] right. So, uh, Captain

[5:16] Norris and Harvey, if y'all step up

[5:18] here.

[5:20] [clears throat]

[5:22] Good afternoon, everyone. I want to

[5:23] thank you for being here today. It's an

[5:25] honor to stand here before you as we

[5:27] celebrate the retirement of Captain

[5:29] Michael Harvey and Captain Michael

[5:30] Norris, whose dedication, leadership,

[5:32] and service has been a long lasting mark

[5:35] on this department and our community.

[5:37] For 25 years, both captains have worn

[5:39] the badge with pride, integrity, and

[5:41] commitment. Throughout their career,

[5:43] it's been filled with challenges,

[5:45] success, and countless moments of

[5:48] service. They are truly examples what

[5:50] every chief would want. Behind every

[5:53] accomplishment is a person who has

[5:55] sacrificed time, missed family events,

[5:58] worked long hours. Today, we recognize

[6:01] not only the captains here on their uh

[6:03] professional achievements, but also the

[6:05] sacrifices made by their family and

[6:08] their loved ones throughout their

[6:09] journey. While retirement marks the end

[6:12] of a law enforcement career, it also

[6:14] begins a new exciting chapter. We hope

[6:16] it brings you good health, happiness,

[6:18] and many opportunities to come. On

[6:22] behalf of everyone here, we want to

[6:23] thank you for your service, your

[6:25] leadership, your friendship. Your

[6:27] congratulations are well earned. We wish

[6:30] you and your family nothing but the very

[6:32] best ahead. I would ask that if the

[6:34] audience if you please stand with me and

[6:37] congratulate captain the captains on

[6:40] outstanding career and a welldeserved

[6:42] retirement. [applause]

[6:45] Thank you.

[6:50] turn this down.

[6:52] >> Thank y'all. Thank you. Thank you.

[6:54] >> So, we're presenting uh both captains

[6:57] here with their service weapon.

[12:00] privilege it was for me to serve with

[12:03] the Brook Haven Police Department. Um

[12:06] some of you all some I see have grown

[12:08] now know me when I know wore the uniform

[12:12] and I appreciate the training that I

[12:14] have and the love for this city. Even

[12:17] though we working we were working for

[12:19] peanuts, we were still doing the job. So

[12:21] we thank you all. Thank you officers so

[12:24] very much.

[12:26] >> [clears throat]

[12:28] >> Next on my agenda is approve the regular

[12:30] meeting and regular board meeting from

[12:41] uh board meeting for June 2nd, 2026?

[12:46] Any discussion?

[12:48] If not, all in favor say I.

[12:50] >> I oppos. Thank you also very much. On

[12:54] our appearance list, we have first of

[12:56] all Slaughter and Willingham.

[13:01] Thank you very much, Mayor Board. My

[13:05] name is Nathan Willingham. I'm a

[13:07] principal planner and partner at the

[13:08] firm Slaughter and Willingham. And it's

[13:11] a deep honor and privilege to be in a

[13:13] thriving growing community such as Brook

[13:14] Haven working on a comprehensive plan

[13:17] update. Um,

[13:20] many of y'all are very familiar with our

[13:21] firm, having worked with my business

[13:23] partner, Mike Slaughter, for many years

[13:25] on uh comprehensive planning and other

[13:27] planning issues. Um, I want to take a

[13:29] few minutes this evening to really

[13:31] formally kick off our comprehensive

[13:33] planning process. I know Mike was here

[13:35] several months back, spoke to the board

[13:36] about the comprehensive plan, what it

[13:39] is, what goes into it. Uh, I'm going to

[13:41] recover some of that ground uh briefly

[13:44] this evening. uh try not to re retread

[13:47] everything that he said, but I do think

[13:48] it's important at this stage to give a

[13:50] little bit of a refresher uh and then

[13:52] talk about the engagement process and

[13:54] the next steps that this community can

[13:56] expect when working with us in this

[13:59] comprehensive plan update. Um first of I

[14:02] want to introduce our planning team. Um

[14:04] we're a firm out of Oxford. We do

[14:06] planning comprehensive plans and

[14:08] regulatory work all over the state of

[14:09] Mississippi. 99% of our clients are are

[14:12] cities and and counties in Mississippi.

[14:14] uh very honored and privileged to serve

[14:15] public sector clients here in the state

[14:17] of Mississippi. Uh both Mike and myself

[14:20] are AICP certified planners. That stands

[14:23] for American Institute of Certified

[14:25] Planning. It's a national certification

[14:27] in the field of community planning. Uh

[14:29] nationally recognized uh requires a

[14:32] devotion to a code of ethics and

[14:34] continuing ed continuing education as

[14:36] well as uh experience and as you can

[14:39] imagine a comprehensive exam is part of

[14:41] it as well. Uh he and I together have

[14:43] about 60 years of combined experience

[14:45] working in the planning profession.

[14:47] Mike's been doing it uh about 35 years

[14:50] and we like to joke and say that he's

[14:51] the younger and better looking of the

[14:53] two of us that are partners. Um but you

[14:56] can see his biography as well as mine

[14:58] here on this next slide. Uh Mike is both

[15:00] a AICP certified planner as well as a

[15:03] registered professional engineer. My

[15:06] background is in public administration.

[15:08] I have both a masters and a doctorate in

[15:09] public administration. I like to pride

[15:11] myself in helping communities get things

[15:14] done because we can do all the plans in

[15:16] the world, but if there's not a strategy

[15:18] and a a workable assetbased approach to

[15:22] community development backing up that

[15:24] document, it it does the dreadful thing

[15:26] that comp plans often do, which is to

[15:28] sit on a shelf. Uh and then in addition

[15:30] to Mike and myself who are sort of the

[15:32] leadership core of the team, we also

[15:34] have a senior planner and project

[15:36] manager in our office, a fellow named

[15:38] Tab Sanford who is uh he's been doing

[15:40] this work about 10 years and has a

[15:42] masters in community planning, a lot of

[15:44] expertise in in public engagement and

[15:46] GIS work. In addition to uh the three

[15:50] planners on staff, we have crucially

[15:52] important support folks in our office. I would mention Samia Bandra who is a

[15:59] GIS technician who is responsible for

[16:01] all the maps that you will see as we go

[16:03] through uh go through the planning

[16:05] process. And then Vantessa Wilson uh who

[16:08] is our administrative assistant and she

[16:10] is the logistical soul of our operation.

[16:12] And I think everyone on the board has at

[16:14] this point talked to her at least once

[16:16] in in trying to set up some of the

[16:18] events that we've got taking place over

[16:20] the next uh several days and will be in

[16:22] contact over the next several months as

[16:24] we work on this comp plan update. Uh so

[16:26] that's our team. You know, there's five

[16:28] of us in the office. Um you know, we

[16:29] work all over the place. Uh we got a lot

[16:32] of experience um everywhere from

[16:35] Chattanooga, Tennessee to uh North

[16:37] Alabama to West Tennessee. I mean, we've

[16:39] worked all over the country. um and have

[16:42] settled down and put our roots down here

[16:44] in Mississippi uh with the honor and

[16:46] privilege again of serving communities

[16:47] like like Brook Haven. Uh Mike talked a

[16:51] good bit about this the last time he was

[16:52] privileged and made an appearance here,

[16:54] but want to talk a little bit about a

[16:55] comprehensive plan just as a way to

[16:57] refresh our memories as we kick off this

[17:00] stage of the planning process. So what

[17:02] is a comp plan? It's it's essentially a

[17:04] policy guide for growth and development

[17:06] over the next 20 to 25 years. It lays

[17:09] out for both leaders who are elected

[17:11] officials and leaders who are department

[17:13] heads and appointed officials as well as

[17:16] community members and those who might

[17:18] wish to make investments in your

[17:20] community. Uh it lays out exactly what

[17:22] the vision for the future is, right? It spells out what the long-term goals

[17:27] and objectives for the community are in

[17:29] a way that people can understand and be

[17:32] oriented toward good growth and

[17:34] development and understand what that

[17:35] looks like going forward. We think about

[17:38] it in three different ways. Uh as

[17:40] planners, we sort of think about it in

[17:42] the technical sense about what's legally

[17:44] required for a comprehensive plan as

[17:46] well as the the contents of the plan and

[17:48] the methods that are used to engage with

[17:51] the public and to perform analysis and

[17:54] use GIS to create maps and and things

[17:56] like that. But in addition to that, for a board and also for the public,

[18:01] it's a vitally important piece of your

[18:03] economic development and your fiscal

[18:05] management strategy because as we all

[18:07] know, a a community is a city is a

[18:10] creature of public services. And those

[18:12] public services depend on your ability

[18:14] to to be able to hire good officers and

[18:19] firefighters and pave streets and

[18:21] provide all of the municipal services

[18:23] that people expect for a growing

[18:25] thriving economy and high quality of

[18:27] life. And so good development leads to a

[18:30] good commercial sales tax base as well

[18:32] as a good property tax base that

[18:35] supports your fiscal and financial

[18:37] ability to do those things. Good

[18:39] planning is essential for low taxes and

[18:43] highquality public services. And so it's

[18:45] a it's a vital part of a board strategy.

[18:48] And in addition to that, for all members

[18:51] of a community, for all walks of life,

[18:53] the comprehensive plan is a way to think

[18:55] about and engage with understanding of

[18:59] the values of the community as they are

[19:03] oriented toward quality of life. It's a

[19:06] way of getting feedback and

[19:08] understanding about what it means to

[19:10] have a high quality of life in a

[19:12] community. And for for us, high quality

[19:14] of life is things like good jobs,

[19:17] high quality uh housing for people to

[19:20] live in, good schools, public safety

[19:22] services, water, sewer, roads, streets,

[19:26] parks, recreation, all of the amenities

[19:29] that members of the public demand of

[19:30] their local governments in order to make

[19:32] day-to-day life in not just functional,

[19:35] but but enjoyable to them to have a a

[19:38] enjoyable uh life and presence and

[19:42] experience. in a community. So for a

[19:44] comprehensive plan, there are four

[19:46] statutory requirements or four elements

[19:48] of it that that have to be included.

[19:50] There's a requirement for a set of goals

[19:52] and objectives for a land use plan,

[19:54] transportation plan, and community

[19:56] facilities plan. We'll speak very

[19:57] briefly about each of those. Talk about

[20:00] goals and objectives. These are these

[20:02] are the aspects that create quality of

[20:04] life. You know, these are things like

[20:05] your residential and commercial and

[20:07] industrial development, where things go,

[20:09] how they grow in the future, and how the

[20:12] board can make good decisions with good

[20:14] policies to shape that growth and

[20:16] development going forward. Also, um

[20:19] goals and objectives around open space

[20:20] and recreation, which is a vital import

[20:22] vitally important part of uh the

[20:24] engagement of not just your youth in

[20:26] your community, but people of all walks

[20:28] of life, all ages, and all walks of

[20:30] life. making certain that they're

[20:31] recreational and health recreational

[20:34] opportunities and the health and

[20:36] engagement benefits that come along with

[20:38] those. All of us in life, well, most of

[20:40] us I think have had a coach at some

[20:42] point who guided [clears throat] and

[20:43] steered us. Even as an adult, I look for

[20:45] the coaches, the people that can mentor

[20:47] me. It's a lifelong pursuit in a lot of

[20:50] ways. uh that starts with these

[20:53] recreation programs and understanding

[20:55] what it takes to to really guide and

[20:57] mentor people toward a goal, you know,

[21:00] and and that's a crucially important

[21:02] part of your community. Um streets and

[21:04] road improvements. These are of course

[21:06] the most visible pieces of

[21:07] infrastructure that your citizens see on

[21:09] a day-to-day basis. Not an elected

[21:12] official I have ever met has been able

[21:14] to walk through the grocery store

[21:15] without a conversation about a pothole.

[21:17] Right? And so these are things that that

[21:19] you hear about daytoday with your

[21:21] residents that we need to to think about

[21:23] in terms of how growth and development

[21:26] influence your capacity to take care of

[21:29] this infrastructure that people depend

[21:30] on. Uh and then in addition to that

[21:33] community facilities which are things

[21:34] like your libraries, your police and

[21:36] fire departments, the places where

[21:38] public services take place.

[21:41] Second element of a comprehensive plan

[21:43] is a land use plan which is a sketch of

[21:45] what what is needed in your community in

[21:47] terms of residential development,

[21:50] commercial development, industrial

[21:52] development and jobs at what density of

[21:55] development things should take place.

[21:56] Where things are going really well in

[21:58] your community and they should be kept

[21:59] and preserved as they are. Where things

[22:02] have an opportunity to grow in your

[22:04] community and how they should be planted

[22:06] and sewn and nurtured to grow. and then

[22:09] other places where maybe the garden

[22:11] needs a little a little tilling or

[22:13] replanting or weeding so that the

[22:15] existing development patterns can can prosper uh more effectively. Uh

[22:21] and then also talking in the land use

[22:24] plan about recreation open space and

[22:26] public lands and facilities. This is the

[22:28] guide for growth and development. When

[22:31] you're asked to make those very, very

[22:32] difficult decisions about whether an

[22:34] investment in your community is the

[22:36] right type in the right location for

[22:38] your community and they come to you, hard and they come to

[22:42] you fast. And so when someone is at this

[22:45] podium requesting approval of something

[22:47] and maybe somebody else wants to see it

[22:49] not approved, having a plan in place

[22:52] makes that decision not easy but easier

[22:56] because you have the forethought that

[22:58] came from the planning process and the

[23:00] engagement with your public and with

[23:02] your leadership to be able to make good

[23:04] decisions in the heat of that moment

[23:06] that's based on the forethought that was

[23:08] put into the actions that you're being

[23:10] asked to take. In addition to land use,

[23:13] of course, there's a transportation

[23:14] component to the planning process

[23:16] because we all have to get around to

[23:18] engage in our community. We have to be

[23:19] connected to community both through

[23:21] surface streets and passenger vehicles,

[23:23] but also things like sidewalks and trail

[23:27] systems and networks and and even even

[23:29] in a rural small city environment,

[23:31] public transportation systems, and how

[23:33] people that that maybe don't have access

[23:35] to vehicles can still have accessibility

[23:37] to your community and to all the good

[23:39] things that it offers.

[23:42] And then lastly, we will talk about

[23:44] community facilities plans. Community

[23:45] facilities, we talk about planning in

[23:47] general, we like to talk about the

[23:48] importance of place and neighborhood and

[23:51] everything that you offer as a city

[23:53] takes place somewhere. And the

[23:54] condition, quality, and capacity of that

[23:58] location, of that place is

[24:01] important to being able to provide

[24:03] highquality public services going

[24:05] forward. again those public services

[24:07] being essential to the to the quality of

[24:10] life of the residents and and visitors

[24:13] and those that engage with the city of

[24:15] Brook Haven.

[24:17] So essentially the purpose of the

[24:18] comprehensive plan is to chart a course

[24:20] for future development and to provide an

[24:23] expression of the aims and ambitions of

[24:25] the community over the long haul to help

[24:27] keep you oriented in the future toward

[24:30] good decision making in the day-to-day

[24:33] with a vision for the future and a

[24:35] wellthoughtout set of goals and

[24:36] objectives. You can make better

[24:39] decisions dayto-day when tough questions

[24:41] come your way. And that really is

[24:43] essentially the purpose of comprehensive

[24:45] plan because it is a it's a snapshot of

[24:48] your community today, a vision for your

[24:51] community tomorrow, and that is informed

[24:53] by facts and data and information, but

[24:56] most importantly by what we're going to

[24:57] talk about next, which is the public

[24:59] engagement process.

[25:01] We share this quote a lot. It says

[25:03] communities can be shaped by chance or

[25:05] they can be shaped by choice. we can

[25:06] keep accepting the kind of kind of

[25:08] communities we get or we can start

[25:10] creating the kind of communities we

[25:12] want. That was a quote by Mr. Richard Mo

[25:15] who is with the National Trust for

[25:16] Historic Preservation. Um we talk about

[25:20] the the most important part of the

[25:22] comprehensive plan and new information

[25:24] I'll show you this evening is the

[25:25] engagement process. And I always like to go back to Proverbs 4:7 which is

[25:32] wisdom is the principle thing and all

[25:35] things get wisdom and then I get and get

[25:37] understanding.

[25:39] We can do a lot of research and a lot of

[25:42] analysis from miles and miles away at a

[25:44] desk where we have access to census data

[25:46] and maps and information about your

[25:48] community. But we can't gain true

[25:51] understanding of your community unless

[25:53] we seek wisdom from those that have it.

[25:56] And the wisdom of your community is is

[25:59] well the wisdom of all things comes from one source, but the wisdom of your

[26:04] community is housed in your in the

[26:06] knowledge and the understanding and the

[26:08] experience of your leaders, your key

[26:11] stakeholders and the members of your

[26:12] community. And so the public engagement

[26:14] process is the very purpose of why we do

[26:19] the work that we do. Because without

[26:21] that level of engagement and without

[26:23] executing public engagement, we can't

[26:25] find the wisdom and we can't translate

[26:28] the wisdom that is part of all of your

[26:31] community's individual experiences into

[26:33] an understanding of the vision for the

[26:36] future and of what people want for the

[26:39] future of the city of Brook Haven. And

[26:41] so the most important part and also as

[26:44] you can imagine the hardest part of the

[26:46] planning process to shape is the public

[26:48] engagement process.

[26:51] But our approach is to be community

[26:53] first to put the the needs of the

[26:55] community before anything else and to

[26:57] allow the community to define the vision

[27:00] for the future because it has to be

[27:03] driven by your people's understanding

[27:06] and your people's wisdom or it won't be

[27:09] actionable. You know, you can't act on

[27:11] things that are my ideas or someone on

[27:14] my team's ideas. We can offer

[27:16] suggestions on ideas, but they have to

[27:18] be embraced and part of the collective

[27:21] wisdom and understanding of this

[27:23] community before they can actually you as leaders can have the confidence

[27:29] of your convictions that they are the

[27:31] right actions and right steps to take.

[27:33] In addition to that, it's incredible to

[27:35] work in Brook Haven because the level of

[27:37] transparency and accountability. I

[27:39] realize that that I am being recorded

[27:42] and sent across an amazing digital

[27:45] broadcast system in an amazing facility

[27:47] right now. That level of transparency

[27:50] leads to accountability on my part as a

[27:53] planner for the things that I do and I

[27:55] say in your community and and I I and

[27:57] our team want to embrace that. We want

[28:00] this to be an open and transparent

[28:02] process where everybody from all walks

[28:05] of life no matter where you come from or

[28:08] where you're going has the opportunity

[28:10] to be heard. Now I said earlier it's the

[28:13] hardest part of the process and it is we

[28:15] can make it's the horseto-water

[28:17] scenario. We can make the information

[28:19] available. We can ask and we will we

[28:22] will transparently make information

[28:23] available and we will ask people to

[28:25] engage and be part of the process.

[28:28] But we need help to make that happen

[28:32] because me standing here requesting

[28:35] someone to answer a question is much

[28:38] less effective than a member of the

[28:41] community sharing an opportunity and

[28:44] saying it's telling them telling folks

[28:46] how it's important to be engaged and

[28:48] involved. We can take their information

[28:50] when they're with us but we can't

[28:52] influence their decision to be involved.

[28:54] We can make opportunities available, but

[28:58] we desperately need help from every

[29:00] person who is interested in this

[29:02] community to get the word out to make

[29:05] these opportunities to be engaged part

[29:08] of the planning process. And we're going

[29:10] to talk some more about that here in

[29:11] just a second. And then lastly, the two

[29:14] points there, we want to be practical

[29:15] about what we do. Our approach needs to

[29:17] be grounded in what's possible with with

[29:19] high aspirations and goals for what

[29:21] happens in your community. And those two

[29:23] last two points go together. to point

[29:24] toward a practical approach to planning

[29:27] that gets you something that you can

[29:28] implement that does good things in your

[29:30] community over time, creates positive

[29:31] change because we do this based on an

[29:35] optimistic understanding of the future.

[29:38] It can be better. It is hopeful and we

[29:40] are optimistic that through a process

[29:42] like this we can make positive changes

[29:44] in the community. And so with each stage

[29:47] of the planning process, each each

[29:49] activity, each engagement that we're

[29:51] part of, each planning activity, we have

[29:53] a a four-step process that repeats every

[29:56] time. The first step, as you can

[29:58] imagine, is preparation. Uh it's it's

[30:00] identifying who the stakeholders are,

[30:02] what the message that is best suited to be received by them would be. So you

[30:08] identify your audience, you identify the

[30:09] message, you identify the channels that

[30:11] message would move across, whether it's

[30:13] newspaper outlets, other news,

[30:15] traditional media outlets, press

[30:17] releases, um social media is a big part

[30:20] of of today's environment. Whatever the

[30:22] appropriate channels for your community

[30:23] are, we want to identify the

[30:24] stakeholders, the message, and the

[30:26] channel to reach them. We then want to

[30:29] make certain that we send those messages

[30:31] effectively across those channels to

[30:34] create awareness of the planning

[30:35] opportunities. We then want to execute

[30:38] each one of those engagements. Whether

[30:40] it's a community survey or a public

[30:42] meeting or a focus group, we want to

[30:44] reach the audience and execute that

[30:46] engagement as as effectively and

[30:49] efficiently as possible with the highest

[30:51] degree of participation. And then we

[30:53] want to follow up. We want to show the

[30:55] public and the leadership the results of

[30:57] what happened. So people come to

[30:58] meetings a lot of times, what happened?

[30:59] Where does this go? Right? So, we've got

[31:01] a strategy for going through this

[31:03] four-step process with each stage or

[31:06] each engagement, each planning activity

[31:08] that we have as part of the

[31:10] comprehensive plan.

[31:12] The stage that we're in now is the

[31:14] visioning portion. We will take ideas

[31:16] and understanding about long-term goals

[31:18] and objectives,

[31:20] work toward developing a strategy that

[31:23] eventually becomes a draft plan. This

[31:25] the next three steps that are involved

[31:27] in the planning process. We'll be

[31:28] working through the ne all of these

[31:31] three stages will involve opportunities

[31:33] for public feedback and public

[31:35] engagement.

[31:36] Our project timeline, we actually been

[31:38] on the job for quite a bit now, but

[31:40] we're starting the official public

[31:42] engaged portion of the comprehensive

[31:44] plan here in June and it will run

[31:46] through we think about December or so.

[31:48] This is a tentative timeline. We don't

[31:50] rush to any sort of judgment. We work

[31:53] with cities on scheduling. We are in in

[31:56] no greater or lesser hurry than is

[31:58] necessary to have a good quality

[32:00] comprehensive plan for the city of Brook

[32:02] Haven. We do set a pretty ambitious

[32:04] timeline because we know that people do

[32:06] kind of lose interest over time. You

[32:08] know, if we kick it off now and we don't

[32:09] talk to people for a few weeks, it's

[32:11] going to, you know, interest is going to

[32:12] die down. We want to move fast, but we

[32:14] want to make the pace appropriate to the

[32:16] community and to the the planning effort

[32:20] that that uh is appropriate to reach

[32:22] your people and get good feedback.

[32:25] and then give you some information about

[32:27] where we're going from here. Um, there's

[32:30] one of these QR codes up here on this

[32:32] slide, which we uh I think has already

[32:35] been actually the survey link. The QR

[32:38] code goes to a community survey. It's

[32:39] one of the first steps in the public

[32:41] engagement process, is to put a survey

[32:43] out and just let the general public give

[32:45] us understanding and feedback. It's a

[32:48] great way of just getting more generic

[32:49] feedback from members of the public. So,

[32:51] this code and that uh web link down

[32:54] below in the orange box will take you

[32:55] straight to that survey. Uh in addition

[32:58] to that, we're going to roll out a

[33:01] project website which will have all of

[33:04] the presentation material that we use

[33:07] throughout the comprehensive plan. So, a

[33:09] copy of anything we present will be on

[33:11] the website. Uh any maps or data or

[33:14] charts that we develop will be on that

[33:16] website. Survey results will be on that

[33:18] website. So, it will be out there and

[33:20] available as sort of the the

[33:21] encyclopedia of planning here in in

[33:23] Brook Haven for the duration of this

[33:25] project. Uh, in addition to that, we've

[33:28] got a couple of face-toface engagements

[33:30] coming up this next week. Um, over the

[33:32] course of the next couple of days, we'll

[33:33] be talking with each of the board

[33:35] members and your department heads

[33:36] individually. Uh, leading out from that,

[33:39] we will continue to build a very robust

[33:42] stakeholder list. I think our list

[33:44] currently has about 73 organizations and

[33:47] individuals on it. So, we're building

[33:49] that list so that we can continue to

[33:52] meet with small groups in focus group

[33:55] interviews and also have a very uh

[33:57] robust list of invitees to participate

[34:00] in surveys, focus groups, and public

[34:03] meetings coming up. And then rolling

[34:05] forward from there, we will be

[34:07] scheduling a series of public meetings

[34:08] where we actually invite the general

[34:10] public, the whole public to to um give

[34:13] us feedback about the the community's

[34:16] vision for the future about the goals

[34:18] and objectives and those important

[34:20] comprehensive planning elements that I

[34:22] mentioned mentioned earlier. Uh as of

[34:24] right now, I would encourage everyone to

[34:27] uh take a look at the survey and we will

[34:30] make sure to broadcast it across

[34:32] multiple channels and then the next

[34:34] couple of days keep an eye out for the

[34:35] project website. It's got a host of

[34:38] information already uh compiled about

[34:41] Brook Haven and then it will be the a

[34:43] source of of public data and information

[34:45] about the project as we go forward.

[34:47] Every single time we engage in something

[34:50] that's an important milestone, that

[34:51] website will be updated. The information

[34:54] that we share during that milestone

[34:56] activity will be placed there and we

[34:58] will make certain that that information

[34:59] is shared broadly through different

[35:02] communication channels to try to get

[35:03] that word out as often as possible. And

[35:06] then at the end of it, we will have a

[35:10] comprehensive plan update that serves

[35:12] the needs of the city of Brook Haven and

[35:14] helps to uh helps the board to make

[35:17] important decisions about quality of

[35:18] life, helps to smooth the pathway toward

[35:21] easier decisions about investment and

[35:23] helps the public to better understand

[35:25] the direction and the decisions that the

[35:27] board does make. I appreciate your time

[35:30] very much and certainly happy to answer

[35:31] any questions that you might have.

[35:35] Thank you, Mr. Willingham. We're ready

[35:37] for your survey to show up.

[35:39] >> Thanks very much.

[35:41] >> Thank you, Ryan Holmes.

[35:50] >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Board, I have two

[35:53] things tonight. Um,

[36:00] got permission to go out and get some

[36:02] bids for the work on for the drainage

[36:05] out on Brook Haven Street. Uh, I got two

[36:09] bids for the repair. uh one from

[36:13] Greenbryer Digging Services for 74,760

[36:19] and then one for uh from TL Wallace for

[36:23] 87 or 86135.

[36:27] And so I would uh recommend taking the

[36:30] load bid. Uh this is the pipe over on

[36:34] Brook Haven Street where the inlets, you

[36:36] know, eroding away and fell in right

[36:38] there uh next to the fire station.

[36:41] So move second.

[36:43] >> All in favor?

[36:45] Opposes. Thank you.

[36:47] >> The second thing I got is uh speaking of

[36:50] fire station is uh we're looking for

[36:53] looking at the renovations for the the

[36:56] new truck coming in and where to place

[36:58] it. And uh we've got drawings pretty

[37:00] much 99% uh been uh talking to the chief

[37:04] back and forth on that. And we're

[37:06] looking for permission to advertise to

[37:08] put that out for bid.

[37:10] Need a motion.

[37:16] » It's station.

[37:19] >> Any any discussion? All in favor sign I

[37:24] >> poses. Same sign. Thank you.

[37:33] » Okay J Mike McKenzie.

[37:37] » Evening board. Uh Steven Barnett filling

[37:39] in for Mike tonight. Uh just one quick

[37:41] update. Um we've had some complaints

[37:44] about some sewer issues and and backing

[37:47] up on the uh North Jackson West Court

[37:49] Street area of town. Uh Sun Coast came

[37:53] in last week and um did some exploring

[37:56] down there and found that uh a

[37:59] telecommunication line had been bored

[38:00] through the sewer line. And so it had

[38:04] taken on a bunch of uh debris. They

[38:06] actually pulled out 8 cubic yards of uh

[38:09] sediment and stuff from the sewer line.

[38:11] So, they pulled that out and hopefully

[38:13] it should be flowing better now. So,

[38:15] we're in the process of figuring out

[38:16] with the one call exactly which

[38:18] communication company that is that has

[38:20] their fiber line going through it and uh

[38:23] we'll proceed with getting them to to

[38:27] fix it.

[38:38] That's what he's going to be pursuing.

[38:40] Telephone company, telecommunicate

[38:41] company to make them pay.

[38:43] >> We'll get with Bobby on exactly what we

[38:44] need to um to send, but we're working on

[38:49] that.

[38:49] >> Thank you.

[42:28] Mr. Hinds, you got what you got for us

[42:31] this evening?

[42:33] Um

[42:35] [clears throat]

[42:41] I guess I want to start start out by

[42:44] definitely thanking everyone who um came

[42:46] out this weekend for our unity in the

[42:48] community. I think it was it was great

[42:51] to see so many people that bind

[42:52] together, you know, I think it it really

[42:55] was something that, you know, that

[42:57] allowed the community to get out and

[42:58] really enjoy themselves. So hopefully,

[43:00] like I said, I'm real big. Hopefully

[43:02] whatever anyone is doing in the city, I

[43:04] keep saying we need participation. I

[43:07] think for our city to grow, when we show

[43:08] that we're an friendly city, people will

[43:10] visit on a consistent basis. I just

[43:12] think that as we do activities wherever

[43:14] they are, you know, I think it's

[43:15] important everybody participate, you

[43:17] know, I think that's a big thing. Um uh

[43:20] also I think I I know we got this girls

[43:22] night out coming June the 20th, 25th,

[43:24] what not. Girls night out. I I think

[43:26] it's important that whatever we putting

[43:28] on, let's let's participate at a high

[43:30] level. So again, I just think it's

[43:32] important that that we do that. We truly

[45:47] how to uh register for the parade. Uh so

[45:51] that's it, Mayor.

[45:54] >> Thank you, Mrs. Tate.

[45:55] >> Good evening, everyone. Um

[45:58] I'm happy to see all of you tonight. I

[46:00] just want to regurgitate what um

[46:02] Alderman Enar Hines said. I am, my heart

[46:04] is happy and I just want to say thank

[46:06] you to every resident. I took wrote some

[46:08] notes cuz I didn't want to leave anybody

[46:09] out. Community partners and supporters.

[46:12] I want to give a special thank you to

[46:14] Chief Dustin Barfield and BPD. There

[46:16] were no incidents nor accidents at the

[46:18] Unity and community. I want to thank

[46:20] Mississippi Highway Patrol and the

[46:22] mounted patrol units. Mr. Ryan Jones for

[46:24] bringing out the car simulator. To all

[46:26] of the artists, um, we had Mr. Scott

[46:29] Colom to come through. He's running for

[46:31] US Senate. So, I encourage you all the

[46:33] time to do your research, stay informed,

[46:35] stay engaged, and know who's on your

[46:37] ballot. We have a big election coming up

[46:39] in November. Uh, to Brook Haven Exchange

[46:41] Club Park, thank you for lending your

[46:44] train. The children thoroughly enjoyed

[46:46] that. To the Brook Haven Street

[46:48] Department, I want to say thank you for

[46:50] helping us in every way that you were

[46:52] allowed to. We really appreciate your

[46:54] help. Uh, to the Chamber of Commerce,

[46:57] Katie Nations, thank you. Thank you.

[46:59] a million times over. We had

[47:01] over 52 vendors. Um, and only two of our

[47:05] vendors, food vendors, didn't sell out.

[47:07] And I think that was because they over

[47:09] overly stocked. And so, uh, we were

[47:11] definitely supporting small businesses.

[47:13] I think our mission was definitely

[47:15] completed. Uh, we wanted to create a

[47:18] space for unity and community where all

[47:20] people came out and that was definitely

[47:22] seen, experienced, felt. Um, let me see.

[47:26] A special thank you to

[47:30] I think that's it everybody. I just want

[47:32] to say thank you again. I want to bring

[47:34] clarity. I don't know if there was some

[47:36] confusion but this was not a Brook Haven

[47:38] City sponsor event. Um two of your

[47:41] elected officials did sponsor and so I

[47:43] didn't want any mis to be misconcred and

[47:46] it was for the citizens of Brook Haven

[47:48] and surrounding areas. So for all that

[47:51] supported my heart is happy and I say

[47:53] thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[48:11] hand. Um,

[48:15] when I look out for the city of Brook

[48:18] Haven, we talk about transparency and

[48:20] truthfulness and honesty. And uh, and I

[48:36] you have the right to talk to me. I

[48:39] mean, you know, there's so much going on

[48:40] in this world today

[48:42] that, you know, we don't have anyone to

[48:45] talk to. But when you someone tells you

[48:48] no, you can't talk to someone, that's that's a low blow. And I just

[48:54] want everyone to know that my number is

[48:57] still the same. 6017546939.

[49:01] And anytime, you know, you might have

[49:03] things going on in your mind to where

[49:06] you know, hey, you feel you don't have

[49:07] anybody to talk to. Now, I don't get

[49:09] involved with day-to-day operation to

[49:12] understand that part now. But if you got

[49:14] something that you need to talk to me

[49:16] about, my my number is always open and
