The Biloxi City Council has called a special meeting for Friday at 9 a.m. to consider an override of Mayor A.J. Holloway’s veto of the municipal budget for Fiscal Year 2009.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held at City Hall.
Holloway vetoed the budget on Tuesday, citing increases in employee compensation and longevity pay as excessive.
Three-fifths of council members present and voting would be required to override a mayoral veto, according to state statute.
