Board approves consent agenda items, multiple grants and Freeport-warehouse renewals; votes at a glance
Summary
The Harrison County Board of Supervisors approved a multi-item consent agenda including grants, equipment purchases, contracts and several Freeport warehouse license renewals. The board also authorized routine procurement and personnel actions and voted to enter executive session on potential litigation involving the sheriff’s office.
At its meeting the board approved a broad consent package and several standalone motions, including grant applications, equipment purchases, contracts and Freeport warehouse license renewals.
Among the items the board approved: an MDOT annual contract and payment for one 17-passenger ADA bus ($25,003.15 and $0.60), authorization to accept a lease with Puckett Machinery/Caterpillar Financial Services for an off-road dump truck with an annual payment described in the minutes as $89,529.12, a purchase of taser cartridges from Axon Enterprise for $12,990, and a low-quote purchase from Mark’s Plumbing for $34,006.20 for fixtures at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. The board also authorized the sheriff’s office to sell a Glock 17 (serial CEKG811) to a retiring captain for $1 and approved a grant application submission for MOHS occupational protection in the amount of $128,917.50.
The board accepted the Chancery Clerk’s local government-records grant award of $10,000 with a required 20% match, approved subaward agreements related to the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, authorized disposal of listed assets and inactive records in accordance with retention schedules, and approved a variety of travel and personnel items on file with the payroll clerk.
On economic-development items the board separately approved resolutions (45a–45d) by the Harrison County Development Commission supporting five-year renewals of freeport warehouse licenses for multiple companies and found them qualified for the exemption under the relevant provisions of the Mississippi code as described in the backup. The board voted to approve these resolutions individually.
Finally, the board voted to go into executive session to discuss potential litigation involving the sheriff’s office. The transcript records a motion to enter executive session for potential litigation and a second; the board then proceeded into closed session.
