McGee said the county scheduled a one-day pet decontamination training on June 12 and listed staff who will attend: Robert Bradford, Billy Humphreys, Connie Mason, Mike Ellis, Nash Sanders and Ashley Comer. He said the training is aimed at preparing staff to decontaminate animals brought to reception centers during incidents.

McGee reported that the reception-center shower building is about 90% complete; the contractor is finishing interior work and adding privacy walls. He said the structure is a standalone building with no permanent utilities connected, a condition he attributed to grant and FEMA specifications (staff described the facility as built to grant/FEMA-related requirements). Because it lacks permanent water and power hookups, staff must run a water hose from the safe room building and provide power with a generator. McGee said a portable county generator needs inspection and possible repairs; staff plan to take the generator to Taylor Equipment for an inspection and quote, and requested authority to have Mike Ellis transport the unit for service.

Board members asked whether the shower could be tied to the safe room’s utilities. County staff and a caller on the line explained the building must remain standalone to preserve the integrity of the grant/FEMA installation and to avoid modifying the safe room structure. Because of that requirement, temporary hoses and a generator will be used to supply water and power when the shower is in use, and the hoses/generator will be disconnected afterward.

McGee said the shower should be completed in July with no additional county cost expected for construction; the remaining issue is generator service and whether repair costs will require additional board action depending on the quote amount. He also said the emergency management plan is being updated and that staff will submit plan changes to the board for approval before sending them to MEMA.

Board direction: staff were authorized to obtain a repair quote for the generator and to return with the cost; McGee was asked to bring the updated emergency management plan and highlight the changes for the board prior to submission to MEMA.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/19/25 Regular Meeting of the Adams County, MS Board of Supervisors","oneSentenceSummary","Acting Emergency Management Director Tom McGee briefed the board on a new decontamination shower building at the county’s reception center, pet decontamination training on June 12, and the need to inspect and possibly repair a county mobile generator.","taxTitle","Adams County, Mississippi","taxId",70888,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6546678,"Votes at a glance: Board approves $425,000 911 purchase, equipment bids, reimbursements and routine motions",217,993000,1210000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3585331-faa1e8b6aa12f95768b2aa2a31ad274e&start=993&end=1210","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3585331-faa1e8b6aa12f95768b2aa2a31ad274e/thumbnail_993000.jpg","/articles/6546678/Adams-County/Mississippi/Votes-at-a-glance-Board-approves-425000-911-purchase-equipment-bids-reimbursements-and-routine-motions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6546678-84621c0908e61e1712ba75f4aa43d694/orig.mp4?Expires=1771106214&Signature=jdy2IgYFdbmczIxoVCr8i0F9FYp~6jqBip-VsqvXNjLdocPWg0hU2Dgm4zxdn7d~xzmzP3K4sWzQ25k7nGU7hj9ChpYqh-BMvG-sf6GHyBOclptps8uSc1dl3SWJv7QRSugmhjb9P-BERu2uPBx87jS-R4iY58KNq~l0wcsoHZ-6ibUmt-PcLJjCOs7Rhd3AQwM~2l3TGSIg9UnVvAYEPnbThZTXoCxNMRKpkPGr1Tf7YlHJhHb03MDkD~CWCUsWJntS2j6RFuBQNq-cs3BQGHwz3us23KPGoISyNsCQhfmbY2S7EiL2gTgTBpKOpaySFTULnxJhMK9IuvyWL3NJjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Adams County Board of Supervisors voted on a slate of procurement, equipment and reimbursement items during its regular meeting.

The board approved the procurement card and travel card minutes for April and accepted multiple bids for road department equipment, selecting Puckett (sometimes transcribed as “Puck”) for several pieces. Supervisors authorized the purchase of new 911 equipment through Motorola Solutions under an existing state contract for $425,000 with lease-purchase financing to be finalized after reviewing financing bids.

Other approvals included an ARPA-funded home-improvement materials invoice for $4,784, a reimbursement request for EWP (EWPCC044) totaling $72,847.74 (bringing that project’s total reimbursement to $318,645.56), and pay request No. 9 for the Bellwoods Lehi project for $123,493.69 contingent on confirmation of an inspection. The board also approved routine hiring actions for new employees and seasonal lifeguards, a number of travel approvals, an extension/administrative update for CoreCivic/ICE arrangements, and authorization for the county treasurer to certify specified staff to pick up secured bank bags in the absence of the department head.

Votes were typically taken by voice with motions made and seconded and recorded as “motion carried.” Detailed roll-call tallies were not read into the record for most items.

The board also accepted a grant-related agreement and directed staff to proceed with required follow-ups where vendor quotes or inspections were pending.

The meeting included requests that certain approvals be contingent on follow-up steps (for example, finalizing financing or confirming inspection results); in those cases the board approved the underlying motion and required staff to return with the confirming documents.

Several items were forwarded for legal review or additional documentation before final implementation.","At its regular meeting the Adams County Board of Supervisors approved procurement and travel card minutes, awarded multiple equipment purchases (including road equipment and a $425,000 Motorola 911 system under state contract), authorized reimbursements and several pay requests, and passed routine personnel and administrative items.","actionData","errors"]
