Tunica aldermen authorize transfer of roughly 2 acres to Tunica County after closed session
Summary
After a closed determination and executive session, the Tunica Board of Aldermen unanimously approved the transfer of about 2 acres on the north side of Peabody Street to Tunica County; no hires were approved during the executive session.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the Town of Tunica unanimously approved the transfer of approximately 2 acres of real property on the north side of Peabody Street to Tunica County following an executive session at their Jan. 20, 2026 meeting.
The Board first voted to hold a closed determination and then entered executive session under Section 25‑41‑7 of the Mississippi Code to discuss hiring two employees and a possible land sale or acquisition. After the closed meeting, Alderman Daniel M. Pierce moved to approve the sale/transfer of the 2‑acre tract; Alderman Adam Fullilove seconded. The motion received the unanimous affirmative vote of the Aldermen present and Mayor Andrew T. Dulaney declared the motion carried.
The minutes record that the Board discussed hires during the executive session but took no action on hiring. The approved transfer was announced in open session after the Board exited executive session.
Next steps were not specified in the minutes: the documents establishing the terms of the transfer (sale price, easements, closing date) were not included in the record and are listed as not specified in the public minutes. The Board did not record further conditions or contingencies in the minutes provided.
The Mayor adjourned the meeting following additional business and the adoption of an emergency resolution related to a winter storm.
