Gulfport City Council unanimously approves grant application authorization and immediate temporary closure in special-call meeting

The Gulfport City Council held a special-called meeting and unanimously approved two items: authorizing engineering staff to apply for a grant and approving a temporary closure to take effect immediately.

A member identified only as “Mister Sellers” moved to declare the special call meeting and to append the meeting notice to the minutes, and then moved to approve items 1 and 2. The motion was seconded (second not named in the transcript). A vote was taken by voice; members responded “aye” and the presiding officer declared the motion passed unanimously. A council member identified as “Mister Buckner” participated by phone.

Nut graf: The meeting consisted of two brief procedural items and was handled by unanimous voice vote. The transcript does not specify the grant program, the agency to which engineering would apply, or the location or scope of the temporary closure.
