Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee District schedules March 12 meeting, cites Quitman flood

The Yazoo‑Mississippi Delta Levee District updated its public news and meetings page to show a Regular Monthly Board Meeting scheduled for 03/12/26 that is listed as open to the public, and the same news section includes a "QUITMAN COUNTY FLOOD OF 2024" entry with "Marks Flood Maps (Printable PDF file)." The district’s public pages display navigation items and a footer reading "©2020-2025 Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee District."

The levee board’s site also publishes a historical calendar of regular monthly board meetings for 2025 and January 2026, listing specific dates and open status: 01/09/25, 02/13/25, 03/13/25, 04/10/25, 05/08/25, 06/12/25, 07/10/25, 08/14/25, 09/11/25, 10/09/25, and 11/13/25, with December 2025 explicitly noted as "No Board Meeting in December" and 01/08/26 marked as a regular monthly board meeting. The August entry appears with the exact heading "REGULAR MONTHLY BOARD MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED BUDGET AND PROPOSED TAX LEVIES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026."

The March 12, 2026 posting appears in the district’s news feed as a forward-looking regular monthly meeting but the snippets provided do not include a meeting agenda, time, location, or a stated public comment procedure. The calendar on the site shows a prior March meeting dated 03/13/25, so the 03/12/26 item is new relative to the 2025–January 2026 schedule; the site also repeats 09/11/25 in two snippets, a duplication noted on the page rather than separate meetings.

Under the news & events content the district lists program material beyond meeting dates, including "YMDLB FISHING MAP" and the "QUITMAN COUNTY FLOOD OF 2024" heading, with the two-column display pairing "Marks Flood Maps (Printable PDF file) | News Releases (Upcoming News Releases)." The presence of printable Marks flood maps on the Levee District site is a concrete resource tied to the Quitman County event; the available snippets do not include the map images or damage statistics, indicating the maps and news releases themselves will need to be opened to extract details on affected streets, levee performance, or mitigation measures.

Archival material on a separate Msleveeboard section provides historical context from 2006: the Mississippi Levee Board traveled to Washington, D. C. March 27-29, 2006 and "authorized a delegation to the MVFCA Congressional Meetings March 27 - 29 in Washington, D.C. to discuss FY 2007 Appropriations for the Corps projects in Mississippi; and received status reports on all the ongoing projects in the Mississippi Levee District and meetings attended." That archival record names participants and actions: attendance by members of the Greenville and Rosedale Port Commissions; public information events on 01/11/2006, 02/06/2006, 02/15/2006, 03/09/2006, and 03/11/2006; the listing of Kent Parrish, Peter Nimrod, Hiroki Ishikawa, and Steve Ellis at a February 15 event with the notation "Mr. Ishikawa is Chief Official of the River Planning Division in Japan and is part of a technology exchange between the US Corps of Engineers and Japan"; and that "Lt. Col. William L. Burruss, Deputy District Engineer for the Vicksburg District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, presented the Mississippi Levee Board the Outstanding Performance Award for Operation and Maintenance of Flood Control Projects for 2005."

The archival page also records local permits issued in that period, including a BellSouth directional bore under Steele Bayou, Keystone Plantation and Greenlee Farms for a landside gate at Avon, MS, and a permit to Michael Thompson for development along the Brunswick Circle Levee near Eagle Lake. Those historical entries illustrate the Levee Board’s combination of federal advocacy, public outreach, and permitting responsibilities documented on its web pages.

With a public Regular Monthly Board Meeting posted for 03/12/26 and printable "Marks Flood Maps" linked under "QUITMAN COUNTY FLOOD OF 2024," the Levee District’s own site places both governance dates and Quitman County flood material in the public record; the site footer "©2020-2025 Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Levee District" and the visible menu items HOME, ABOUT THE LEVEE, ABOUT THE BOARD, COMMISSIONERS, STAFF, NEWS & EVENTS, EMPLOYMENT, OUR PARTNERS round out the publicly available navigation where residents and journalists can locate meeting notices and the linked flood maps.
