NATCHEZ — The Adams County Board of Supervisors meets on Monday at 9 a.m. and the Natchez Mayor and Board of Aldermen plan a special meeting on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

The Board of Supervisors meets in the boardroom of the County Administration and Supervisors Office at 314 State St. At its meeting on Monday, the board is expected to approve one of three redistricting plans presented at a public hearing on Nov. 21.

The county is also expected to approve the monthly financial reports of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and the Chancery Clerk’s office.

At its Tuesday meeting, the city is expected to continue to discuss the leadership of the Natchez Police Department.
