Pascagoula Council Addresses Annexation Opposition and Property Code Violations
During the public comment section, Ron Williams spoke in opposition to the involuntary annexation of East Jackson County by Pascagoula, arguing it is a "Jim Crow era practice" that infringes on self-governance and reduces the voting power of rural county residents. He announced his intention to file a federal court claim. Lisa Clark Cannon also spoke in opposition, citing the experiences of Woolmarket, annexed by Biloxi 28 years prior, where residents are still waiting for promised sewer services. She questioned Pascagoula's ability to deliver services and requested a public reporting system for annexation promises. Dwayne Cormier, representing Miss Beach Rentals LLC, discussed the lengthy rehabilitation of a property at 1207 Manto, explaining delays due to his accounting work and termite damage. He committed to completing exterior work within 60 days and interior work within six months, requesting leniency due to his significant investment and plans to purchase more properties in Pascagoula. The council agreed to continue the hearing for 1207 Manto until August 4th, allowing the owner to obtain a permit and show progress. The council also declared 4308 MacArthur Street a menace to public health, safety, and welfare, and approved its removal.
