At a meeting of officials in Harrison County, participants moved to recess the session and reconvene on what the transcript records as the “20 seventh” at 9:30 a.m., the meeting record shows.

The motion came after discussion about meeting with an outside group and whether assembling “three or more” members for that meeting would trigger executive-session rules. Speakers also considered recessing the meeting through the “30 first” before settling on the later reconvening date recorded as the “20 seventh.”

Speaker 1, an unidentified participant, asked whether the body could recess the meeting or had to set a specific new date. The participant suggested recessing “through the 30 first,” which another participant noted is Halloween. There was back-and-forth about whether the recess would expire if no further action were taken and about notice requirements for any subsequent meeting.

Speaker 2, an unidentified participant, said a group meeting with “three or more” members would constitute a meeting and could require an executive session. After additional scheduling exchanges, one participant stated aloud, “20 seventh. Wednesday. Alright. We'll ring up recess until the 20 seventh at 09:30,” and moved to recess the meeting. Speaker 2 seconded the motion. When Speaker 1 asked, “All in favor?” the transcript records an “Aye,” and the meeting was recessed.

The transcript uses the phrase “20 seventh” to identify the reconvening date but does not specify a month or calendar date; that phrasing is ambiguous in the record.

No substantive policy decisions, votes on ordinances, or budget actions were taken during this exchange; the formal action recorded in the transcript is the motion to recess and reconvene at the stated time.
