Harrison County supervisors approve insurance renewal, claims and auditing RFPs; table transit board appointments

At their June 30 meeting the Harrison County Board of Supervisors approved a series of routine consent‑agenda items including a property insurance renewal, claims payments, invoices and administrative authorities.

Key actions recorded in the meeting transcript included: approval of a Coast Guard property insurance renewal listed as $1,732,844 payable from account number 001121570; approval of the claims docket as required by Mississippi Code Section 19‑13‑27; approval of a Digital Engineering invoice (Invoice No. 11) in the amount of $3,465; and an order authorizing the clerk and comptroller to seek requests for proposals (RFPs) from qualified registered certified public accounting firms for a contracted financial and compliance audit for fiscal year 2024.

The board also discussed appointment of members to the Coast Transit Authority board to fill one vacancy created by the passing of Mary Bankston and another vacancy for the expired term of Genie Fellows (term ended May 15, 2025). Supervisors voted to table the appointments to a future meeting.

Additionally, the board approved an order authorizing advertising and publicity expenditures to promote Harrison County opportunities and resources across broadcast, print, signage and online channels, and they formally approved an addendum to the agenda that included the advertising item and expressions of appreciation for the county employee appreciation luncheon.

All the listed consent items were approved after motions and seconds; votes were taken by voice in the meeting transcript and no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Ending: Staff and supervisors indicated routine follow up on the RFP schedule, invoice processing and the timing for re‑bringing Transit Authority appointments to the board once candidate matters were resolved.
