Overheard at the November 4 Gulfport City Council meeting.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many of us, these courts were where our golf course story began. It\u2019s where we met our closest friends, built connections, and became part of something bigger than ourselves.\u201d \u2014Adam Abraham, about the Bounce Back Tournament in Gulfport<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the volleyball courts, we could always put temporary courts closer to the rec center for now and so that they could go get back to playing volleyball.\u201d \u2014Vice Mayor April Thanos, recommending changes<\/p>\n
What we overheard at the November 4 Gulfport City Council meeting is not all that happened. Read approvals<\/a>, Code Enforcement<\/a>, Charter Review Committee, and the investigation on Ian O\u2019Hara.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe want to get community feedback\u2026 How is the cleanliness of the trolley? How often do you ride the trolley?\u2026 We want to get that feedback so we know how to improve the program.\u201d \u2014Cultural Facilities Events Supervisor Justin Shea, about the Trolley and Looper service<\/p>\n \u201cWe got our permit to rebuild the beach from the Army Corps of Engineers, and we\u2019re ready to move forward. This project would be simply putting the beach back the way it was.\u201d \u2014Director of Public Works Tom Nicholls, presenting Resolution 2025-93, for beach restoration<\/p>\n Read what we overheard at the Oct. 21 Gulfport City Council meeting<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI would wait on the rest of it because I think it\u2019s premature and I want to see the whole picture of it. Because otherwise we could have another rain and have it all washed away again.\u201d \u2014Thanos, about beach restoration<\/p>\n \u201cYou did good tonight.\u201d \u2014Ward II Council member Marlene Shaw, to Assistant City Clerk Amanda Hartman who filled in for City Clerk Theresa Carrico<\/p>\n The Gulfport City Council\u2019s next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m.The Gabber Newspaper?
