Harrison County Parks superintendent Larry Shickles requested two additional appropriations from the county share of the riverboat fund and the commissioners voted 3-0 to forward both requests to the county council. The first appropriation request was $9,225.41 to replace outdated computers and purchase a scanner; the second was $24,500 to repair and replace fencing at Hayswood Park.

Separately, library director Alisa Burch presented the library's annual report, including circulation and card statistics, and offered a sample proclamation for National Library Week.
