The Adams County Board of Supervisors convened for their regular meeting on May 19, 2025, addressing several key agenda items and community concerns.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve a special docket for Morgantown Road, amounting to $45,003.89, which was unanimously approved.

After a brief discussion, the motion to approve the payment, contingent upon inspection, was amended and passed.

Next, the board addressed a grant agreement related to runway issues, which required additional documentation. This was also approved without opposition. An update on the CoreCivic and ICE agreement was presented, clarifying that it was an extension rather than a new agreement, and it was subsequently approved.

The board then moved to declare May as Mental Health Awareness Month, a motion that received unanimous support. Additionally, a request for authorization to sign a cremation form and payment of $495 to Riverwood for cremation services was approved.

Financial matters were also a significant focus, with discussions on transferring funds to cover negative cash accounts, totaling $240,366.28. This motion was passed after a brief discussion. The board also reviewed the allocation of remaining opioid funds, with plans to bring recommendations for distribution to the next meeting.

In personnel matters, a request for vacation days was approved for a board member, and discussions about uniforms for the maintenance crew led to a motion to transfer $5,000 from custodial supplies to cover uniform costs, which was also approved.

The meeting concluded with various updates, including a request for travel approval for constables attending a Mississippi Constables Association meeting. The board addressed community concerns regarding property maintenance and agreed to send letters to property owners regarding compliance issues.

Overall, the meeting was marked by collaborative decision-making and a focus on community welfare, with several motions passed to ensure the effective management of county resources and services. The next meeting is anticipated to continue addressing ongoing community and financial matters.
