Summary

Rankin County supervisors approved an amended FY2025 budget, ratified emergency tower repairs, opened bids for a fire training burn building and election equipment replacement, and appointed members to an aging advisory committee on Oct. 30.

The Rankin County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 30 approved several routine but consequential administrative items: the board approved an amended FY2025 budget, ratified a declaration of local emergency to authorize repairs at a county tower site and the associated payment, opened procurement bids for a new fire training burn building and for replacement election equipment, and made appointments to the Central Mississippi Planning and Development District (CMPDD) aging advisory committee.

Budget and emergency repairs: Supervisors voted to adopt the amended FY2025 budget and to ratify emergency repairs at a communications tower site and the issuance of payment for those repairs.

Procurement: Staff reported one bid from Symtech for the fire training burn building (approximately $617,071) and two bids for election equipment replacement (one bid from Hart with an implementation price of roughly $1,135,999 and a second bid from Election Systems & Software at about $633,075 plus warranty). Staff noted bids will be evaluated for machine counts, trade‑in credits and other procurement details.

Appointments and executive session: The board appointed representatives to CMPDD’s aging advisory committee (reappointments) and approved a motion to enter executive session to discuss litigation and possible property acquisition.

Ending: Staff will return with procurement analyses and recommended awards pending review of bids and trade‑in offers; the board proceeded to executive session on litigation and property matters.
