Board of Supervisors closed their monthly meeting to enter executive session twice on Monday, citing code 25-41-7 4j and b.
The first session lasted one hour and was attended by local business man Mike Henson and Charles Collins, city selectman for Ward 5. Board President Shelton Deanes said the meeting was to discuss relocation and expansion of business. No action was reported once the meeting resumed.
The second executive session was to discuss a potential litigation issue regarding District 2. According to Luke Lummus, District 2 supervisor no action was taken in the second session either.
The board authorized travel for Justice Court Clerk Harriett Bragg. Bragg will be traveling to Choctaw County later this month to attend the Judicial College required seminar and Professional Development.
However the board chose not to authorize travel for the Election Commissioners and Deputy Circuit Clerk Barbara Spraggins to attend SEMS training in Jackson Oct. 30.
“Right now there are no indications regarding transportation plans,” County Attorney Lee Coleman said. “Will we be expected to reimburse each individual if they all travel separately?”
Deanes tabled authorization of the travel request until the Thursday meeting pending more information.
The Hazardous Mitigation Plan for Clay County was approved during Monday's meeting. A hazardous mitigation plan accesses risks and identifies actions to reduce a community's vulnerabilities to hazards. A plan must be in place before a body government can receive any grants. Mississippi Emergency Management Agency has to approve any plans before they may be adopted. The plan has been approved by MEMA and will be affective until July 10, 2014.
Phyllis Benson, project analyst for Golden Triangle Planning and Development District, addressed the board regarding the necessary steps needed to complete the application for the Archives and History Grant. Benson advised the board to obtain three letters of support from members of the community, including a member of the Mississippi Legislature. If the grant is awarded, the board plans to use the funds to restore the Pheba Agricultural High School for use as a community center.
