The Tunica County Board of Supervisors on May 4 opened and received bids for multiple county-owned parcels and voted to take the offers under advisement while staff verifies funding.
County staff (speaker 2) read parcel identifiers and bid amounts during the meeting. For Parcel 4128270000000104, a 3.1-acre tract, staff reported a single bid of $25,100 from Ricky Mathis. For Parcel 3106140000000300, a 1.1-acre tract, staff reported two bids, including $6,000 from Yancey Investments and another bid of $2,250. "The bid is $25,100 for mister Mathis, Ricky Mathis," staff said when reading the offer.
Chair (speaker 3) moved that the board receive and take the bids under advisement; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote. Staff recommended accepting the highest bid for each parcel once the county confirms funds are available.
The action taken on May 4 was procedural: the board received bids and did not award any parcels that night. The clerk will hold the submitted bids and the board will revisit awards at a later meeting after staff confirms fund availability and any required follow-up checks.
