Picayune council approves municipal adviser and considers several consent items
Summary
At its July 23 meeting the Picayune City Council approved naming Mississippi Incorporated as municipal adviser and addressed consent items including an IT support contract, event sponsorship acknowledgements and a brief police department item; most items were handled with motions and seconds on the consent calendar.
The Picayune City Council met July 23 and approved placing Mississippi Incorporated as the city's municipal adviser and handled several routine consent items, including an IT support contract for AcuFund services and donations for the 2026 Independence Day celebration.
The items were read by a presenter and moved as consent agenda items. Chair (name not stated in the transcript) called for a voice vote on an early motion, asking, "All in favor, aye," and recorded the affirmative response. The municipal-adviser item specifically asked that the mayor and city clerk be authorized to sign the related letter of engagement.
The consent calendar also included a request to approve a consulting contract with Matthews of Computer Services Inc. to support the city's AcuFund services and a formal acknowledgment of donated goods and sponsorships for the Independence Day celebration from Children's Super Casino, Showtime Sports and QEP. Those consent items were presented with short discussion and were moved and seconded on the floor.
The transcript records the items being presented and seconded; it does not include detailed contract terms, vendor pricing or full vote tallies for each individual consent item beyond the voice affirmation recorded during the early vote. The council did not expand debate on these items during the meeting.
The meeting then proceeded to separate agenda items including a resident request about a nonconforming property, a rescinded public hearing for a cleaned property and a parks grant request.
