The Harrison County Board of Supervisors meeting on September 22, 2025, focused on several key issues, including financial discrepancies related to tax collections and the need for improved video storage for security cameras.

During the meeting, a discussion arose regarding a recurring shortfall of $20 from employee paychecks, attributed to errors in handling cash transactions. The board emphasized the importance of accountability, noting that the responsibility ultimately lies with the customer. The county collected $14 million from a recent tax sale, which involved multiple staff members handling cash. Each transaction is monitored by security cameras, allowing for review in case of discrepancies.

A significant point of discussion was the current limitations of the video storage system, which only retains footage for 30 days. Board members expressed the need for extended storage capabilities, ideally up to 60 days, to better track transactions and resolve issues. The proposed upgrade would double the current storage capacity from 10 to 20 terabytes, which would help alleviate congestion from the existing 30 cameras in use.

Additionally, the board addressed the public's access to property tax information, clarifying that while property details are public, vehicle tax information remains confidential. This distinction is crucial for maintaining privacy while ensuring transparency in property tax matters.

The meeting concluded with a motion to proceed with the proposed upgrades and improvements, reflecting the board's commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and accountability in financial transactions.
