Summary
On Jan. 29 the Tunica County Board authorized a $683,395.36 transfer to the infrastructure modernization fund, approved a $20,000 Mississippi Humanities Commission grant application for the Tunica Museum, and signed off on payroll, credit-card reports, claim dockets and two EMT training attendances.
The Tunica County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 29 approved a series of financial and administrative items, including a transfer of $683,395.36 to the infrastructure modernization fund, a grant application for the Tunica Museum, routine payroll and claims approvals, and permission for two parks employees to attend EMT training.
Under Item 1, the board authorized a transfer of $683,395.36 from the general fund account to the infrastructure modernization fund at First Security Bank to cover the January 2026 use-tax payment. The motion carried after a board member moved and a second was recorded. The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; voice votes were used for routine approvals.
Item 2 authorized the grants department to prepare and submit an application to the Mississippi Humanities Commission seeking a $20,000 "America February" legacy grant for the Tunica Museum. The application requires a 1-to-1 match; the transcript records that the county will use the current contract as the matching source.
The board also approved payroll (Item 3), the county credit-card report (Item 4) and the claim docket (Item 5) by voice vote. During "bridal" (bridges/bridal/bridal phrasing in the transcript), Parks & Recreation requested permission for Ternice Hills and Sequana Hargrove to attend EMT training through a workforce opportunity grant program at Tahoma Community College in Friars Point (January–May 2026); the board approved the request.
The board adjourned until Monday, Feb. 2 at 4 p.m.
The meeting transcript records motions, seconds and voice approvals; it does not include a roll-call with individual member votes or additional details about the timing of implementation for the infrastructure transfer or the museum grant application.
