Summary

Supervisors approved an initial three-month operating labor appropriation for arena operations tied to an agreement with Roots and Chazen Capital; the agenda listed $24,868.70 for two positions.

The Tunica County Board of Supervisors approved an appropriation of initial operating labor funds for arena operations tied to an agreement with Roots and Chazen Capital; the agenda listed $24,868.70.

A staff speaker identified as Mister Willis said the appropriation was “in accordance with the actual agreement with, the roots and Chazen Capital, in the amount of $24,868.70. And this is for 3 months of operating fund for 2 labor positions. And this is also included in the claims.”

A motion to approve the fund passed on a voice vote after a motion was offered; the audio record identifies Supervisor Nixon as the mover in related motions on the agenda but does not produce a clear roll-call tally for this specific motion beyond “all in support … aye.” The transcript includes a slightly different, garbled figure in a later spoken line; the agenda figure above is taken from the staff presentation.

Why it matters: the appropriation provides initial payroll funding for two arena labor positions for three months as the county begins operations under the referenced agreement.
