Harrison County members voted to recess the meeting and set their next session for Dec. 16 at 9:30 a.m., while noting personnel and legal matters and agreeing to prepare a resolution to present to the family of Tim Smith after his funeral.
The board ended an executive session and returned to open session amid brief procedural remarks. An unidentified speaker asked whether a formal motion was needed to come out of executive session; after a motion and a second the group voted in favor to exit the executive session and continue with business.
During the post-executive-session record, an unidentified speaker said the board discussed a personnel matter "involving Rose Park." Another participant noted a pending litigation matter and asked the board for advice on strategy related to an EEOC complaint, and stated, "No action was taken there." The transcript records that no formal action followed regarding the EEOC matter.
Board members also discussed making a proclamation or resolution in honor of Tim Smith and presenting it to his family. One unidentified speaker asked whether the board could adopt the resolution that day so it could be framed and given to the family at the community center after the funeral; members agreed to draft and adopt such a resolution.
The board recorded a motion and second to recess for a December meeting; the membership voted "Aye" and the motion was announced as carrying.

At the close of the transcript an unidentified speaker asked if there was anything else to report.
