In less than an hour, the Lincoln County board of supervisors wrapped up Monday morning’s meeting with few agenda items, noting upcoming meeting dates and times and reviewing a request for public records from AT&T.

Telecommunications company AT&T, who provides Internet, TV and cable service to county areas, requested public records from the board and claims county workers damaged a buried communication line.

The alleged damage occurred east of Highway 51 and west of Dixon Lane on Montgomery Road. The precise location between the two roads is unclear and needs to be confirmed before the board can make any decision on how to proceed, noted District Three Supervisor Nolan Williamson.

Still-board members remain skeptical that county workers might be responsible for the damage mentioned in the request.

“We will let them know that an inquiry has been made, and none of our people were working there,” noted Board Attorney Bob Allen, who sent a no response letter back to the company. “It’s in their hands. We need to know a little more about what they are referring to regarding this matter.”

Maps that detail specific changes in supervisors’ districts were delivered to board supervisors later in the day. “I advise you to take the maps into your districts with you to determine what areas have changed,” said Williamson. Dungan Engineering has been working with the circuit clerk’s office on producing the maps that will determine voter and judicial precinct changes.

Monday’s cold weather again put workers’ ability to use “hot mix” on hold, according to Ryan Holmes with Dungan Engineering. Repairs to Big Creek and Mount Olive Roads will resume, however. Hot mix is a combination of stone, sand or gravel bound together by asphalt cement that is used to patch potholes and cracks and crevices on the pavement.

The Forestry Association will hold its awards banquet at the Lincoln County Civic Center on March 11 at 6:30 p.m. On the same day, the board will meet at Poppa’s Fish House at noon to listen to Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann regarding the recent Voter ID law.

No appearances were made before the board at Monday’s meeting.

The board will meet again at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 17.
