Gulfport council approves routine resolutions, two victim‑services grants and donates surplus police vehicles to Prentiss
Summary
Council approved signatory updates for bank accounts, a change order for fire apparatus equipment, renewal of a service agreement, accepted VAWA and VOCA victim‑services grants, and declared surplus police vehicles to be transferred to Prentiss, all by unanimous voice votes.
The Gulfport City Council approved several routine resolutions and two added grant items that were presented as late additions to the agenda.
Council adopted a resolution updating signatories on city bank accounts and approved a change order with Lisonbee Fire to add hoses and nozzles for newly delivered apparatus. The council also approved renewal of a service agreement with DACA.
Two grant resolutions were presented as late additions and accepted by council: a HB‑19 victim services grant and a Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) victim assistance program grant for 2025–26. City staff said the paperwork had arrived late, prompting insertion to the agenda; the council approved acceptance by voice vote.
Item 5c declared certain municipal personal property — specifically older police vehicles the city had planned to auction — surplus and authorized transfer of those vehicles to the city of Prentiss after a request from Prentiss Police Chief. The police chief described Prentiss’s urgent need because its fleet had been reduced by mechanical failures; council approved donating the vehicles.
All items were adopted by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tallies in the meeting transcript.
Ending: Staff will follow routine procurement and transfer procedures; grant finance paperwork will be processed by the appropriate departments.
