The Tunica County Board of Supervisors approved a payment to the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) for employee contributions on behalf of Sharon Reynolds, the county circuit clerk. Staff said the item was “in accordance with Mississippi Code 25-11-106.1.”

At the meeting a staff speaker reported the amount as $6,502. A motion to approve payment was moved by Supervisor Nixon and seconded by Supervisor William; the board approved the payment by voice vote with no recorded dissents.

Why it matters: the payment addresses retirement-contribution liabilities for a county official and references a state statute that staff cited as the authority for paying the contribution on the official’s behalf.
