Board approves prosecutor raise and hires new finance director; transcript includes a likely transcription error on posted salary
Summary
Supervisors approved a $75,050 annual salary for County Prosecutor Olin Anderson and unanimously hired Camille Keith as director of finance; the meeting record contains a salary figure for the finance director that appears inconsistent and has been flagged as a probable transcription error.
The Hancock County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 12 approved a salary increase for County Prosecutor Olin Anderson, effective Jan. 1, 2026. County administrator Jimmy Landers cited Mississippi Code §25-3-35 in presenting the adjustment; the board approved the raise to $75,050 per year by unanimous vote.
The board also approved the hire of Camille Keith as Hancock County director of finance and asked her to stand for recognition. The meeting transcript records a yearly salary figure for the hire that is inconsistent with comparable county salary entries and is likely a transcription error; the board record approved the hire but the transcripted salary amount is not relied upon here as a verified figure. (See clarifying details — the precise salary as recorded in official personnel paperwork or the county payroll file was not specified in the spoken record provided.)
Both motions carried 5-0. The board’s approval directs payroll and human-resources staff to process the appointments and salary adjustments in accordance with county policy and state law.
