BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway says he will nominate Arleen Wall to fill the unexpired council term of her late husband, Tom Wall.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/10xsTGT) Holloway said he would make the recommendation at next Tuesday's meeting. The council must approve his nominee.

Wall died Jan. 7 and the council asked for a moment of silence at the beginning of Tuesday's meeting in his honor.

In other action, the council approved a tax-abatement for Golden Nugget, which is investing $100 million to renovate and enlarge the former Isle Casino Biloxi. The city recently gave Hard Rock Casino the same abatement for the hotel tower it's building. The tax incentive forgives the additional property tax on the improved value of the casinos for seven years.
