At its March 24, 2025 meeting, the Harrison County Board of Supervisors approved routine consent-agenda items and authorized disbursement of $1,197,231.08 in hazard-mitigation grant funds to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, among other actions.
The Harrison County Board of Supervisors approved a series of consent-agenda orders on March 24, 2025, including personnel actions, purchases, and a hazard-mitigation grant disbursement to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport.
Key items approved by voice vote included an order authorizing disbursement of hazard-mitigation grant project funds totaling $1,197,231.08 to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport; an improvement payment of $10,364.64 to Mississippi Power for annual radio tower rental; and a sole-source purchase from Metrc Solutions of 15 roof lights and accessories for sheriff's vehicles at a cost of $38,910.
Other consent items approved included: personnel changes for the tax collector's office and the sheriff's office (on file with payroll), concurrence with the road manager's employment and with the county administrator's employment as listed with payroll and human resources, authorization to host an American Red Cross blood drive on May 14, 2025, disposal of county assets per an attached list, and approval to pay the claims listed on the agenda. The board also approved several budget line transfers within the sheriff's budget as presented.
Most motions on the consent agenda were moved and seconded without extended discussion and approved by unanimous voice vote of those present. No roll-call tallies with member-by-member votes were recorded in the meeting transcript for these items.
The board also authorized travel by supervisors and staff to Taylorsville to provide meals for first responders and approved routine orders spreading upon the minutes, including an order rescinding a notice of recess meeting pursuant to Mississippi Code §25-41-13 and amending the March 24 proposed agenda by removing a listed item.
The consent agenda process concluded before the board addressed an unrelated public presentation and then moved to a closed-session discussion later in the meeting.
