Harrison County supervisors handled a broad consent calendar and approved a series of administrative orders and contracts during the meeting, including construction awards, grant acknowledgments and routine personnel and procedural items.
Key voted items (selected):
- Concession stand construction: the board awarded construction for the concession stand at the Long Beach softball fields to Phoenix Construction, low bidder, in the amount of $527,000. The motion passed by voice vote.
- Energy efficiency award: the board acknowledged receipt of a U.S. Department of Energy energy efficiency and conservation block grant equipment rebate voucher in the amount of $75,231 to support projects (staff said projects include traffic-signal and some solar conversions).
- Land sale concurrence: the board concurred with a resolution of the Harrison County Development Commission to sell about 5.048 acres to Metal Properties LLC for a purchase price of $250,000.
- Preventive maintenance contract: the board approved a proposal from Eiger Heating and Air for preventative maintenance in the amount of $1,678 (payable from account 001201544) for Jan. 1, 2025–Dec. 31, 2025.
- Fire alarm system: the board authorized a 50% down payment in the amount of $6,775 due upon receipt to Rebel Sound for fire alarm system replacement (board described the work as an emergency-qualified expenditure).
- Miscellaneous approvals: the board approved final plats (River Hill Subdivision phase 1, part 2), interlocal cooperation advertising for tax assessments and collections (items later tabled for further city discussion), and adjustments to community-center rental agreements (the board voted to approve a revised rental agreement but directed staff to provide revenue vs. expense comparisons).
Items taken under advisement or tabled: supervisors voted not to take one interlocal cooperation agreement off the table, directing staff to consult with city partners before final action.
Administrative notes: the board also approved typical administrative motions — budget amendments, payment of claims, VPN and county email access for named staff, travel approvals, and appointments making EMA director Matt Stratton and EMA office manager Jessica Durell co-subrecipient grant administrators for Homeland Security grants.
Most motions were carried by voice vote with the board recording "aye"; the transcript records board members approving the consent agenda and individual orders by voice vote.
