Audit: Component Units

It has come to my attention that additional information needs to be published about where we are in the auditing process that is being conducted by the independent auditor.  To the best of my knowledge the Component Units are now being investigated.  Those Component Units are:

Tunica County Airport Commission
Tunica County Arena and Expo Center
Tunica County Museum, Inc.
Tunica National Public Improvement District
Tunica County Public Projects, Inc.
Tunica County Tourism Commission
Tunica County Utility District

3 Jun 2013 Board of Supervisors' Meeting: Grand Oak Subdivision

Yesterday's meeting was a record setter in length.  Before we get started on the above subject, kuddos go out to the 3 new Supervisors (Nickson, Daley and Williams) for insisting Tunica County move forward and voting for the same.  It took Mr. Nickson raising his voice and pounding on the table and insisting on a vote and not another "tabling until".  Thanks to the three of you.

Grand Oak Subdivision took up quite a bit of time and this is not the first time this issue has been brought before the Board. 

What is happening over there?  It seems that some homes were built on a "hill" overlooking homes below and thus causing the lower homes to flood when the retention pond is full.  In the Delta, if a home is built on a "hill", land had to be moved to create this "hill."

Let's cut to the chase: Pull the original records: survey, building permits, ... all of it.  Find the error(s) and make the corrections.  If the error(s) lie with the developer, tell him to fix it.  If the error(s) lie with the County, fix it and make sure this never happens again.
