Pascagoula council hears resolutions on Buena Vista and Williams Street drainage; contract amendment presented

City Manager Justin Larsen presented two infrastructure items to the Pascagoula City Council at its recessed meeting on Jan. 20, 2026: a resolution authorizing advertisement for the Buena Vista and Williams Street Drainage Improvements Project, and a resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to Task Order No. 3 with Brown, Mitchell & Alexander, Inc. for the Buena Vista Central and Southwest Area Infrastructure Improvements Project.

Larsen said the drainage resolution was before the council to authorize advertising for bids. The minutes note the resolution is “spread upon the minutes,” but the transcript does not include a recorded motion, second or vote for that item. Larsen also presented the contract amendment with Brown, Mitchell & Alexander, Inc.; the presentation is recorded in the minutes, but the transcript does not show whether the council voted to adopt the amendment during the meeting.

The record does include other calendar and bidding details Larsen provided earlier in the meeting: City Hall personnel have moved to 535 Delmas Avenue and bids for the City Hall Improvements project will open Jan. 27 at 2:00 p.m. Larsen also listed four current job openings in the administration.

Because the transcript does not record a final vote on the drainage resolution or the task-order amendment, their adoption status is not specified in the minutes excerpt provided. The council may act on these items at a future meeting or the record of their passage may appear elsewhere in the official minutes.

Next steps: the drainage item was presented for advertisement of bids; the task-order amendment was presented for council consideration. The transcript does not identify a departmental funding source or an effective date for either measure.
