The Tunica County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution authorizing a temporary increase of $16,000 to a First Security Bank county credit card to cover county officials’ and employees’ travel for June and July 2025.

A staff speaker presented the item as a temporary increase “in the amount of $16,000” for travel during the specified months. A motion to increase the authorization passed on a voice vote; the meeting record identifies Supervisor Nixon as moving the item and Supervisor Johnson as making the related second in the audio, and the chair declared the motion carries after the “ayes.”

Why it matters: the increase permits the county to charge anticipated travel expenses to the county credit account for the upcoming months; the board did not attach additional spending limitations beyond the time window stated in the item.
