The Mobile County Commission convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss and approve several key items, including the adoption of the county budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026 and various appropriation contracts aimed at supporting local organizations and initiatives.

One of the primary actions taken during the meeting was the approval of the Mobile County budget, which outlines the county's financial plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The commission also held public hearings, allowing citizens to voice their opinions on the budget and related financial matters.

Several appropriation contracts were approved, including a $5,000 contract with the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Alabama to support their "Our City, Our Future" telethon. Additionally, the commission allocated $5,310 to Sims Youth Football for a new scoreboard and $5,000 to Dedicated Dentist for a free dental day scheduled for October 11. Fostering Together Gulf Coast received $5,000 for its Fostering Hope gala on October 16, while the Sims Women's Club was granted $500 for its Christmas tour and shop hop event on December 13.

The commission also approved a $6,000 contract with the Southwest Mobile County Chamber of Commerce for its Tillman's Corner area learning leadership program. In terms of professional services, an agreement was made with Peter Roston for $88,000 to provide IT services at Strickland Youth Center, and another contract with AirWind for up to $28,000 to update training videos and public service announcements for the upcoming election cycle.

A significant grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was also accepted, amounting to $1,608,060 for the community development block grant program, which requires no local match. This funding is expected to support various community development initiatives.

The meeting concluded with discussions on a change order for roofing maintenance at various county facilities, which will reduce the contract amount by $77,443, and an indemnity agreement for the use of county equipment by the Moab Band of Choctaw Indians.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to supporting local organizations and addressing community needs through budgetary allocations and grants.
