SUMMARY: A decision about the city’s new ambulance service is postponed for at least one week, with a special meeting planned to review existing city ambulance ordinances and proposed new language. The city council voted unanimously to delay the resolution until next Tuesday’s meeting, where council members will have a workshop to discuss the proposed changes. The decision to move the resolution has caused a delay in determining whether a new ambulance service will be established and who will run it in the Gulf Port area.

It’s going to take at least one more week for Gulfport leaders to decide whether Pafford EMS will be the city’s new ambulance service.

SUMMARY: Harrison County leaders have finalized and approved the 2025-2026 fiscal budget with no tax increase, balancing expenditures at around $324 million. The Board of Supervisors completed budget talks and passed the budget before the October 1st deadline. Board President Nathan Barrett confirmed there will be no increases in the county’s tax levies.

Overall, the county’s budget remains stable without additional fiscal burdens on residents.
