Board Of Mayor And Select Women Of The City Of Mcome City Meeting
The meeting commenced with a prayer. Key discussions included the approval of the consent docket, which passed despite some nay votes. The board then moved to discuss two items in an executive session, resulting in the authorization for the mayor to sign a release of covenant of property and a resolution addressing mineral rights, passed unanimously. Regular agenda items involved approving several invoices, including a substantial payment to Dickerson and Boeing for water improvement, an invoice for the wastewater treatment plant upgrade, an invoice from Infamar 20002, and half the cost for airport terminal building HVAC maintenance from RNG Heating and Cooling. Approval was also granted for the housing of prisoners for August 2025, payment of an EMC Insurance invoice, and a $500 sponsorship for Hope for the Holidays. Discussion arose regarding the certificate of substantial completion for the Mcome Depot and Railroad Museum reconstruction, which was tabled pending final inspections from relevant parties. A motion to authorize Neil Schaefer to advertise for bids for the reconstruction of the intersection of Highway 44 and South Locust Street was approved, with a warning about the timeline. Significant discussion occurred around item 11 concerning a bathroom construction at Edgewood Park; this motion was amended multiple times to authorize Neil Schaer to design the bathroom with a construction cost not to exceed $50,000, funded by hotel motel tax. Finally, the ratification of a payment for a water quality analysis fee from the Mississippi State Department of Health was approved as a time-sensitive matter.
