Board authorizes $27,560.63 manual check to Enterprise Fleet Management; announces staff appointments and reimbursements

Tunica County supervisors on June 1 approved a manual check to Enterprise Fleet Management totaling $27,560.63 for sheriff department vehicles, a payment the board’s supervisors said will come from the shared vehicle fund.

Supervisor (S6) asked the board to approve the manual check for vehicles previously authorized at an earlier meeting and stated the amount: “So the amount of the manual check is $27,560.63. That’s coming from the shared vehicle fund.” The board moved, seconded and carried the motion.

The sheriff’s office representative (Miss Donna, S10) also reported travel and reimbursement items: Sheriff Hampt will attend the Mississippi Sheriffs Association summer conference; Lieutenant Eddie Earl attended training at the Mississippi Forensics Laboratory (staff requested hotel and meal reimbursements); and the office received reimbursements totaling $26,631.27 (including $1,640 for four inmates) along with $5,026.87 in grant reimbursements.

Miss Donna reported an appointment to the sheriff’s summer work program: Jamia Bonds was appointed as administrative support staff at $16.45 per hour effective June 1, funded from the investigations fund.

Why it matters: the manual payment finalizes a vehicle-fleet expense that had been discussed previously and the reported reimbursements affect departmental revenue accounting. The appointment and reimbursements are routine personnel and financial items of county government.

What’s next: county finance and sheriff’s office staff will complete disbursement and reimbursement paperwork; no further action was recorded at the meeting.
