The Harrison County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 20, 2025 approved purchasing a vehicle from the Mississippi Department of Transportation for the county Senior Resource Center for $25,333.60, authorized Human Resources to post an assistant position, approved travel as listed on the agenda and voted to enter an executive session to discuss personnel and property matters.

The actions were taken during the board’s regular meeting. The vehicle purchase resolution included authorization for the inventory clerk to add the vehicle to county inventory. Board members moved and seconded the measures and the chair called for the vote; for each item the chair said, "All in favor? Aye. Motion carries." The board approved travel as listed but the transcript does not specify destinations, dates, or individual travelers.

Board members also agreed to add to the agenda a request to hire an assistant for Walter and instructed Human Resources to advertise the position. The transcript records a request that HR "put out for that position" and board approval to post the vacancy; the transcript does not provide the assistant’s job title, salary range or hiring timeline.

Toward the end of the session the board voted to go into executive session to discuss personnel matters and the disposition of county property. The board specified the executive session would last seven minutes; the transcript indicates the personnel matter involved the county administrator’s office and a property issue that the speakers described as involving Madison (the transcript text is not specific about the property name or exact location).
