The Biloxi City Council confirmed multiple administrative appointments and temporary assignments during the meeting, including actions to staff department leadership while ongoing reviews continue.

Council approved a resolution placing an interim oversight arrangement for the departments of Public Works and Parks and Recreation under a single interim director for a limited period; that motion passed 5–2. Councilmembers framed the arrangement as temporary oversight while the mayor conducts a hiring process; the mayor said the interim oversight could last up to 90 days but may be shorter.

The council also approved multiple personnel appointments by resolution across city departments. Several confirmations were approved unanimously; the motion to appoint the city attorney and director of the legal department passed with a recorded tally of six in favor and one abstention. Other named appointees referenced in the meeting included Michelle St. Peters (appointment motion introduced on the agenda) and additional personnel who were congratulated at the dais after confirmations.

Councilmembers asked about recruitment timelines and whether vacancies would be advertised; staff confirmed the city is publicly posting openings and may use professional outlets as part of the recruitment. Several councilmembers emphasized the need for continuity of services and praised appointed staff members for professionalism and experience.

Where votes were recorded aloud during the meeting, the minutes reflect both unanimous confirmations and narrower margins (5–2; 6–1 with one abstention) depending on the item. The meeting did not adopt any employment policy changes; it focused on filling and temporarily staffing leadership roles.
