NATCHEZ — The Adams County Board of Supervisors worked Monday to make sure its ostensibly temporary takeover of county recreation doesn’t fly foul.

The supervisors disbanded the former Adams County Recreation Board in early May in anticipation of the eventual city-county consolidated recreation program. The supervisors also cited the fact that several recreation board members had resigned or wanted to resign as a factor in the decision.

Until the consolidated recreation program is in place, the supervisors decided to administer the county program themselves.

Board President Darryl Grennell said Monday that the county is still receiving some charges from the recreation board’s outstanding accounts, and that from now on the charges need to go through the purchasing department and the board of supervisors for approval.

County Administrator Joe Murray said he has been paying the bills out of the checking account the supervisors inherited from the board they dissolved.

Once a program falls under the auspices of the supervisors, all billing has to follow the same procedures as other county programs, Grennell said.

Chancery Clerk Tommy O’Beirne said that once the recreation checking account is closed, the money can be transferred to the county’s existing recreation fund.

The supervisors also discussed how the use of various county recreation areas — for example, ballparks — would be scheduled. Grennell said he did not think it would be a good idea to be handling such concerns at the supervisors’ meetings.

Supervisor David Carter, who served on the recreation board before he was elected supervisor, said the individual parks have a committee that oversees them, and the committees handle the scheduling.

The supervisors agreed to keep that system, and to have the committees leave their contact information with county inventory clerk Shemeka Ware.
