Okolona council spreads governor's emergency proclamation and hears library mold update
Summary
Council approved spreading the governor's Jan. 29, 2026 proclamation in the minutes to make the city eligible for state or federal funds, and received an update that environmental (mold) testing at the library found contamination that staff are addressing.
The Okolona council voted to spread the governor's proclamation dated Jan. 29, 2026, across the minutes during its Feb. 9 special meeting. The mayor said that recording the proclamation in the minutes is a step to make the city eligible for state or federal funds should damage be documented and funds be allocated.
Separately, department heads had reported at the prior work session that the library required environmental (mold) testing. The mayor called forward Barbara Carlos to provide any additional updates; the council thanked staff for the information and had no further questions at the meeting.
Council members approved the proclamation spread and accepted the library update; no additional remedial budget appropriation or contractor selection was recorded in the transcript during the session.
