Grant writer Catherine Gonzalez presented the fairgrounds proposal, saying the fund stems from the BP settlement and that Mississippi receives roughly $40 million annually, with about $30 million allocated to the Gulf Coast Restoration Fund. Gonzalez said she and staff toured the fairgrounds and proposed first-stage improvements focused on covering and extending the warm-up arena, with related sandblasting and painting and replacement of corroded pipe. Gonzalez said an initial estimate for the cover-and-extension work is about $700,000 and that the program requires a 20% local match.

Gonzalez asked the board for a county resolution authorizing submission of the application and for letters of support from the board. A supervisor suggested including economic-impact documentation from the tourism commission. The board moved, seconded and voted in favor of a resolution authorizing staff to prepare the application and supporting materials, and members agreed individually to provide letters of support.

Separately, county staff and a deputy (referenced during later remarks) said the sheriff's training academy planned to apply to the same fund for expansion of driving areas and a firing range. The sheriff's representative asked that the board adopt a resolution and provide a letter of support; the supervisors approved a motion to provide those items and instructed staff to prepare a formal resolution.

The board did not adopt the grant applications themselves in the meeting; it authorized staff to prepare them and to provide the supporting letters and county resolution required by the grant program. Gonzalez said staff and contractors would obtain cost quotes and return with final numbers as needed for the 20% match requirement.

The board's action was procedural: authorize preparation/submission and provide a letter of support and resolution for each application. No award or grant agreement was signed at the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 14th, 2025 - Harrison County Board of Supervisor's Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Harrison County Board of Supervisors authorized staff to prepare and submit Gulf Coast Restoration Fund applications to cover and extend the warm-up arena at the Harrison County Fairgrounds and to support expansion at the sheriff's training facilities.","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},6709556,"Supervisors approve payment for resident's windshield damage after mower crew failed to warn",159,480000,639000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382527-c7b2e71f90fbaa323429ba9c4191bbf4&start=480&end=639","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382527-c7b2e71f90fbaa323429ba9c4191bbf4/thumbnail_480000.jpg","/articles/6709556/Harrison-County/Mississippi/Supervisors-approve-payment-for-residents-windshield-damage-after-mower-crew-failed-to-warn","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6709556-4531dc7659cae00ed03026855c8eabc0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450767&Signature=Pbm0oDV2~79ra3o5qy2jDExC3N~9CyY5g9P2JDbd1lUBmHqIc0cBkBkAG5Ab91prcq0CcGFg6SbT4lPJXN6LVqA~6w67yQoDTDsPlxxVzUgDi3CTpsAcjc0T9o29TGrYnvkeA4DVVlLx1ecjRc~DzVrt0A5rOvIbQhLM8p2timAdcoCx1J0yvgepw7Fc1OoYjJ1m8GdHUXnAXH5dd-HpD5gh1PuBcOIU2N2rH-lgMdO7W0fM3alD7Vy8A23VT3zrAuANtYZYiN4sfpcxW9S~A-KKRVgLD8e6wOGEqiWzCERDYIrq8y5JSZnMbUUzksz5-uTTFMkbqxBBQXzOUhkVSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Harrison County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay a lower repair estimate after hearing from Kimberly Jones, who said her car's windshield was damaged while it was parked at the District 4 road apartment office.

Jones told the board she has lived at the location for more than 12 years and that, when county crews mow the area, she ordinarily is told to move her car. On the day in question she said a mower operator did not warn her and that she later found three chips in the windshield. Jones said she reported the damage to her supervisor, Marcus Bridal, and to the worker who cut the grass.

Board members reviewed two repair estimates and a supervisor asked whether the chips had been fixed; Jones said they had not. A supervisor moved to pay the lower estimate. The motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. A member asked the county administrator (not present) to investigate why residents had not been informed before mowing and to take steps to prevent similar incidents.

The board's motion authorized payment of the lower repair estimate; the claimant and board did not identify a policy change in the meeting other than directing the county administrator to review procedures and report back.","The board approved payment of a lower repair estimate after a resident, Kimberly Jones, said a county mowing crew struck her parked car without warning, chipping the windshield; the board directed the county administrator to investigate why residents were not told to move vehicles.","actionData","errors"]
