Key actions recorded in the meeting transcript included: approval of a Coast Guard property insurance renewal listed as $1,732,844 payable from account number 001121570; approval of the claims docket as required by Mississippi Code Section 19‑13‑27; approval of a Digital Engineering invoice (Invoice No. 11) in the amount of $3,465; and an order authorizing the clerk and comptroller to seek requests for proposals (RFPs) from qualified registered certified public accounting firms for a contracted financial and compliance audit for fiscal year 2024.

The board also discussed appointment of members to the Coast Transit Authority board to fill one vacancy created by the passing of Mary Bankston and another vacancy for the expired term of Genie Fellows (term ended May 15, 2025). Supervisors voted to table the appointments to a future meeting.

Additionally, the board approved an order authorizing advertising and publicity expenditures to promote Harrison County opportunities and resources across broadcast, print, signage and online channels, and they formally approved an addendum to the agenda that included the advertising item and expressions of appreciation for the county employee appreciation luncheon.

All the listed consent items were approved after motions and seconds; votes were taken by voice in the meeting transcript and no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Ending: Staff and supervisors indicated routine follow up on the RFP schedule, invoice processing and the timing for re‑bringing Transit Authority appointments to the board once candidate matters were resolved.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 30th, 2025 - Harrison County Board of Supervisor's Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Supervisors approved a $1.732844 million Coast Guard property insurance renewal, approved the claims docket, authorized a request for proposals for a FY2024 audit, approved routine invoices including a $3,465 Digital Engineering invoice, authorized advertising expenditures, and tabled appointments to the Coast Transit Authority board.","taxTitle","Harrison County, Mississippi","taxId",24960,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657008,"Harrison County discusses selling SMPDD building at Highway 49; orders updated appraisal",362,882000,1244000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312&start=882&end=1244","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312/thumbnail_882000.jpg","/articles/6657008/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Harrison-County-discusses-selling-SMPDD-building-at-Highway-49-orders-updated-appraisal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657008-0c9cb1b72cceedb185737c52ec7a9ed9/orig.mp4?Expires=1777246990&Signature=Vi1NRwlYga6JK0i-VUr5sxcOcGsWb-7O7xR6qeZ-eHaWmID9mwZsmlhLqXMu8IJBr1pN6bSjz0zcpL8CpnuX8tFRLGgAnYYZy-F2gmnyyvEqumFu4XApGnxoXa9Uk04yZovflo~Dg70fWBofX5A~zChsHJ25ar31dFOVCqsjIapzsD-M5aXfO-dFSjfJOqwHmu4Xz~vDr5Z20AycMrnKqMpnST66d7tY8qpXYQM~4LMHS7Sqof9RozCyR3JfDA~jwHiZ0821elrz2iNTXXw~Rwe7qvOQdzAtqbKXWRoB9t6qxossqjZDPdA-zkYumJw9ArrZ5TYMynobBANTry7NRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Harrison County Board of Supervisors discussed whether to place a building jointly owned with the South Mississippi Planning and Development District (SMPDD) at 9229 Highway 49 on the market and directed staff to obtain an updated appraisal.

Robbie explained the county and SMPDD bought the building decades ago and that an appraisal done in 2018 showed a value of about $1.195 million. He told the board that the building currently houses tenants that generate roughly $10,000 to $12,000 a month in rent and that the county owns about six acres behind a new health department building that could host a new multipurpose facility for county departments.

Board members discussed alternatives, including relocating current tenants, building a simple steel office structure on county land, and whether the county or SMPDD would manage sale proceeds. Robbie offered to arrange an updated appraisal and to coordinate with a realtor he has engaged. He specifically said he would \"order it and then report back to the board or report to the county administrator.\"

Trish and other supervisors cautioned that prior discussions with the health department had changed and urged care when planning relocations. The board did not vote to sell; the agreed next step was to obtain an updated appraisal (or new appraisal if required) and then evaluate offers or options once updated valuations and occupant relocation plans are clearer.

Ending: Robbie said he would secure an updated appraisal from a recommended appraiser, report back to county administration and the board, and the county will determine next steps after reviewing the updated valuation and any viable offers.","County leaders discussed putting the SMPDD‑owned building at 9229 Highway 49 on the market, noted prior 2018 appraisal of about $1.195 million, recalled existing tenants producing monthly rent, and agreed to have an updated appraisal prepared and report back to the board.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657014,"Harrison County to start charging $25 bail bond fee county officials say state statute requires",35,775000,810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312&start=775&end=810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312/thumbnail_775000.jpg","/articles/6657014/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Harrison-County-to-start-charging-25-bail-bond-fee-county-officials-say-state-statute-requires","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657014-8d6a8f81a43d5ffd7e3190cd142b3661/orig.mp4?Expires=1777246990&Signature=Yl7UbvrAcm8biNnDt5Adau-2R70o74jtFjHvzPqaufgefK9Cfvk23-Sj-EQR2J4W8f2WWjRmUsOVu0hN~vuXlhI8l9c-fcBEKZsKWdXjZqclOntHOub14Z~4KhKhy9PtcRVKX6TeCv3qMggNNBancPrQoD92xv2qZsDAVJhrB0fujJtRHyXBJXJqTRmIUESwtg4L2ysgzISNi52-Ev90q8M1RhTXph5t8A91yQ8mphvu8rBF6u7I20cFdQV2nVr245g7f2N8aojfAr3qhiaWhPB1Oza1Tl4BvtZTESAHgGWatj5nWIWxY8q7LA6WDVfv7HfoCOHD~DK~1v6CIUTM9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff told the Harrison County Board of Supervisors on June 30 that, beginning the next day, the county will implement a $25 fee to bond someone out of jail because county officials determined a state statute requires it.

\"Starting tomorrow, we will be implementing a $25 fee, to bond someone out of jail. We just found out that statutorily, we we're obligated to charge a $25 fee,\" Robbie said during the meeting.

A supervisor asked where the fee will be deposited; Robbie replied that it will go \"back into the general fund.\" Board members said the fee had not been charged for some time and that staff would notify the public and stakeholder offices as needed.

The meeting record does not specify the statute by citation; the board's discussion described the fee as a statutory requirement but did not identify the specific code section. No formal motion or vote on this implementation was recorded in the transcript; the item was presented as an administrative change.

Ending: County staff said they will implement the fee and handle any subsequent public inquiries or administrative steps required to remit the funds to the general fund.","County officials announced they will begin charging a $25 fee for bonding someone out of jail, with proceeds to be deposited into the general fund, after determining the county has a statutory obligation to collect the fee.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657017,"Harrison County urges Louisiana cooperation to halt proposed river diversion, adopts resolution",387,94000,481000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312&start=94&end=481","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5106982-0b8a9dda385745a4a2b3484ca2e23312/thumbnail_94000.jpg","/articles/6657017/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Harrison-County-urges-Louisiana-cooperation-to-halt-proposed-river-diversion-adopts-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657017-5b872074160de31e2c9d6b13ce74932b/orig.mp4?Expires=1777246990&Signature=cBYcQvfIG9EF-rGNjk20FadZX3Ff7YJG64~9ra8x-xGLVGZD-rnfZXr7SdiBl4iyyj~Sk1X9xGD-TMVosLlZSvBhLBd8P1uxXFZOrByPVpRGla4pGZre9ZGXLfMOC~Oml0GMjV~re0wawCMb3pjGE5AxAcsTCzMgyCqEGooiU4BNYWYffPj97NRDrtBRO49VuycWm1sNK7YZFThQA3L~sINxyOhraUzVBknTuf2XBvf8VN7yBcX~oXmObqMehJTZW-WCc3DN4Mpr3IgezytSI8H21jdS5eAJt6cj3vwBkmrKe9LNAONPIS5~zMAKjlARTPYx7mxMmSMrqEhoK9w3cQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Harrison County Board of Supervisors on June 30 approved a resolution asking Louisiana officials, including Gordon Dove of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, to pursue \"win‑win\" alternatives to a proposed Mississippi River diversion that county speakers said would damage Mississippi Sound and the region's seafood and tourism industries.

The resolution, introduced and discussed during the meeting, was presented to the board as part of a strategy that county representatives said included recent talks with Dove and a proposal to seek federal support for estuary protections. Mr. Blasey, who briefed the board, said participants discussed terminating the diversion project but acknowledged the need to document harms to avoid repaying prior federal expenditures.

Why it matters: County speakers described the diversion as a continuous re-routing of river water that could alter salinity and ecology in the Mississippi Sound, with downstream effects on oysters and tourism. The resolution cites a University of Southern Mississippi (USM) study and asks for cooperation from Louisiana to develop alternatives and documentation of harms that could support legislative or legal efforts.

In his report, Mr. Blasey said representatives from Louisiana indicated willingness to \"terminate\" the diversion pending documentation. He told the board that the Louisiana legislature recently cut funding for a related project; he referenced a funding change from \"700 and something million to 6,000,000\" and also mentioned a separate larger figure discussed in the meeting in relation to permit amendments. He also described a draft federal bill referenced in meeting materials as the \"Mauve and Gulf Estuary Protection Act,\" which county representatives have shared with the congressional delegation to seek support for estuary protections.

Board members asked few follow‑up questions during the discussion. The board approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and a second; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Speakers and participants referenced in the discussion included Mr. Blasey (board member), Martis Frank (meeting organizer, role not specified in transcript), Marlon (participant, role not specified), and Keith Hurd (participant). The resolution text included references to the USM study and the county's proposed federal bill. Following the vote, a supervisor pointed out typos in the draft resolution and asked the clerk to correct them.

The resolution directs county leadership to support documentation and intergovernmental coordination; it does not itself compel any regulatory action by state or federal agencies. Board members framed the resolution as part of a broader strategy to build interjurisdictional support to protect the estuary and fisheries while seeking legislative remedies.

Ending: County staff and the board said they would continue outreach and follow up with Louisiana officials and the congressional delegation; the resolution and its supporting exhibits will remain part of the county's record for further action and outreach.","The Harrison County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution encouraging coordination with Louisiana officials and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority to seek alternatives to a proposed Mississippi River diversion that county officials say would harm Mississippi Sound, fisheries and tourism.","actionData","errors"]
