Pearl River County Board enters executive session under state law and returns with no action
Summary
The board closed the public meeting at 10:05 a.m., entered executive session under Mississippi Code §25-41-7 to discuss personnel, litigation and business relocation/expansion, and later returned to open session with no action taken, according to the minutes.
At 10:05 a.m. on Feb. 2, 2026, the Pearl River County Board of Supervisors voted to close the public meeting to determine the need for an executive session and then voted to enter executive session under Mississippi Code §25-41-7.
The minutes record the statutory purposes cited for the executive session as: personnel matters relating to job performance and health of a person holding a specific position (Section 4(a)); strategy sessions or negotiations with respect to prospective litigation or litigation where an open meeting would harm the county's litigating position (Section 4(b)); and discussions or negotiations regarding the location, relocation or expansion of a business or industry (Section 4(g)). The motions to convene and to enter executive session were moved and seconded and recorded as approved by the five supervisors.
The board later voted to return to regular session and the minutes state explicitly that no action was taken during the executive session. The minutes do not provide additional details about the subjects discussed while in closed session.
