During their regular meeting Monday:

• Approved canceling a public hearing set for April 18 on a proposed abandonment of Kings Point Road.

The cancellation came at the request of the Puckett family, who originally requested the county abandon about 9,800 feet of roadway.

• Approved invoices totaling $35,468.06 for County Engineer John McKee for various engineering services and $13,524.44 for attorney Randy Sherard for legal services.

• Approved hiring Angela Bates in the Purchasing Department.

• Awarded two construction bids to Vicksburg-based Central Asphalt for paving projects on Fairways and Forest Cove subdivisions.

The bids were for $359,704.39 and $203,108.85, respectively. Homeowners in both areas petitioned for the work and to finance it themselves, according to a state law that allows counties to tack special assessments to property taxes for road paving.
