You are noticed to appear before the State Oil and Gas Board of
Mississippi at its regular May term, being on the 17th day of May 2023
to show cause, if any you can, why the Petition of MJD Production,
Inc. ("Petitioner") being Docket No. 128-2023-D at said Board,
seeking authority to force integrate, with alternate charges, an 80+-
acre oil unit, and grant related relief, should not be granted.
PROPOSED 80 ACRE OIL UNIT:
The Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 26 and the
Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 35, Township 10
North, Range 9 West, West Eucutta Field, Wayne County, Mississippi and
containing 80 acres, more or less.
Said meeting of said Board shall begin at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May
17, 2023 in the hearing room, Suite E, 500 Greymont Avenue, Jackson,
Mississippi.
Petitioner proposes to drill the Pace-Moore 26-13 No. 1 Well at an
exception location approximately 400' from the west line and 600'
from the south line of Section 26, Township 10 North, Range 9 West to an
approximate depth of 8600' to test the Paluxy formation and all other
formations and pools which may be encountered, in the above described
80+- acre oil unit. The proposed well will be located less than 500'
from west unit line and closer to the P. O. & G. Operating, LLC - J.
P. Edwards No. 1 Well than is authorized by the Statewide Rules and
Regulations. The proposed exception location is necessary for geologic
reasons. Sufficient acreage of the proposed Unit appears to be
underlain by productive intervals of the Paluxy Formation and the Well
should be granted a full allowable.
A copy of said Petition is on file in the office of the State Oil and
Gas Board, Suite E, 500 Greymont Avenue, Jackson, Mississippi and may be
there examined by any persons interested. At said hearing, all
interested persons may appear and be heard.
If you intend to contest the docket or request a continuance you must
notify the Board and the Petitioner's attorney of your intention in
writing not later than 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 9, 2023. Failure to so
notify the Board and the Petitioner's attorney shall be a waiver of
your right to contest or request continuance.
You are advised the Board may adopt orders concerning a Petition that
may differ from the relief requested by the Petitioner and Board will
enter such order or orders as in its judgment may be appropriate in
accordance with the evidence presented.
THIS the 10th day of March, 2023.

hereby given that a copy of the 2021 audit of Wayne County is on file in
the Chancery Clerk's office of Wayne County.
In accordance with Section 7-7-221, Miss. Code Ann. (1972), the
following synopsis of the governmental funds of Wayne County audit for
fiscal year ending 9-30-2021 is provided in the format prescribed by the
State Auditor:
Revenues 10-01-2020 to 9-30- 2021 $ 16,442,621 Expenditures 10-01- 2020
to 9-30- 2021 $ 13,825,450 Cash and investments at 9-30- 2021 $

A copy of the audit report is also on file and available for public

In accordance with Section 31-7-115, Miss. Code Ann. (1972), the audit
report of the county purchase clerk and inventory control clerk is
published:
Our findings and recommendations and your responses are disclosed below.
Significant Deficiency 2021-001.
The County did not complete the federal grant activity schedule. Repeat
Finding Yes
Criteria An effective system of internal control over federal grants
includes properly identifying all federal programs and related
disbursements.
Condition As reported in the prior year's audit report, the County did
not complete the federal grant activity schedule for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2021.
Cause The County lacked the necessary controls to complete the federal
grant activity schedule for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.
Effect The failure to properly complete the federal grant activity
schedule increases the possibility of not reporting all federal
disbursements and could affect eh requirement to have a Single Audit.
Recommendation The Board of Supervisors should implement controls to
ensure the federal grant activity schedule is prepared each year.
Views of Responsible Official(s) The County will put a grant activity
schedule into place starting the new fiscal year
2021-002.
Controls over repayment of interfund advances should be strengthened.
Repeat Finding Yes
Criteria The Mississippi Code is silent regarding the authority of the
County to make interfund loans.
Condition As reported in the prior year's audit report, the County has
interfund loans outstanding that are over one year old. The loans were
not repaid as of September 30, 2021.
Cause The County lacked the necessary controls to ensure that interfund
loans were repaid within one year.
Effect Failure of the Board of Supervisors to ensure repayment of these
loans is an illegal diversion of legally restricted funds.
Recommendation For any interfund loan made, the Board of Supervisors
should approve and record in the board minutes the reason for the loan,
when the loan will be repaid and the source of the funds for repayment.
The Board of Supervisors should ensure these old loans are repaid by
approving and recording in the minutes a repayment schedule and
complying with the repayment schedule.
Views of Responsible Official(s) Plan of action was adopted on November
1, 2021. Paybacks of advances will continue for four (4) more years.
