NATCHEZ — In response to changes made by the Adams County supervisors, the board of aldermen called a special meeting to readopt a recreation interlocal agreement Thursday evening.

During the supervisors’ meeting on Tuesday, the board voted to amend the interlocal agreement to include the Natchez-Adams County School District and the City of Natchez in the language concerning finances.

In the original interlocal agreement, which had previously been adopted by the county, the city and the school district, only the supervisors were named as being responsible for financing the proposed recreation complex.

To keep the process moving and unwilling to wait until its July 28 meeting, the board of aldermen met for less than 10 minutes to readopt the amendment.

City Attorney Everett Sanders advised that the amendments the supervisors made did not have a heavy impact on the interlocal agreement.

The agreement between the three entities allows for the polling of county residents’ support for a recreation complex on the November ballot.

The only concern voiced during the meeting belonged to Alderwoman Joyce Arceneaux-Mathis.

The language of the agreement names the school district as “Adams County schools,” and Mathis said she believes the legal name is Natchez-Adams County School District.

She said she didn’t want to step on the toes of the supervisors by claiming the language of the interlocal agreement they authored was incorrect.

So Sanders suggested the motion be the adoption of the agreement pending any necessary changes.

Alderman Ernest “Tony” Fields made the motion, which was quickly seconded by Alderman Mark Fortenbery.

The interlocal agreement was passed unanimously and now waits the approval of the school board.
