Board approves consent agenda items, tax-sale corrections and routine road and contract payments
Summary
On March 16 the Rankin County Board approved consent agenda items including minutes, various assessor corrections and refunds, AutoCAD license renewal payment, road work reports, change orders and payouts for road projects, and certain public hearings set for April 2.
The Rankin County Board of Supervisors handled a slate of routine but consequential consent items and votes at its March 16 meeting.
The board approved prior meeting minutes, ratified an amended burn ban ordinance amendment, and approved multiple assessor recommendations: petitions to adjust homestead exemptions, changes of assessment for multiple parcels, and voiding and refunding tax sales for parcels erroneously assessed (items described in the tax office packet). The board approved the authority for the tax collector to correct records for mobile homes identified as removed from parcels.
Financial items passed included authority to pay an invoice to DLT Solutions LLC for AutoCAD licensing renewal (amount cited in packet), approval of final payouts and change orders for road projects including Gunner Road Improvements Phase 2 (a net decrease of $88,754.30) and a final payout to Hemphill Construction ($53,234.15). The board also authorized the board president to send a letter shortening the East Metro Parkway overlay project to avoid overlap with a city project, per CMPDD request.
Motions on these consent items and contract payments were carried by voice vote; the meeting record shows standard ‘‘Aye’’ confirmations but does not record roll-call tallies for each item. Several public hearings were set for April 2 at 9:00 a.m., including items listed under the county packet.
