Board amends prior motion about mayor's classification and adopts resolution backing Steens Creek Landing
Summary
Aldermen voted to remove the phrase 'FULL‑TIME POSITION' from a prior motion about the mayor's office and adopted a resolution supporting the Steens Creek Landing industrial‑park project and related public‑infrastructure investments.
On a motion by Alderman John Banks, the board amended a prior July 1 motion to strike the phrase 'FULL‑TIME POSITION' from the earlier motion regarding the office of mayor. The amendment was made "in recognition of since reviewed Mississippi Attorney General opinions that the office of mayor is not designated as either a full‑time or part‑time position by law," according to the minutes; the amendment preserved all other aspects of the prior motion regarding salary.
Also during the meeting the board adopted a resolution in support of the Steens Creek Landing project, including investment in sewer infrastructure, park signage and other necessary public infrastructure, and signaled intent to partner with Rankin First and Rankin County. The resolution was moved by Alderman Mason Herrin and seconded by Alderman Brian Grantham and adopted by recorded vote.
