Memphis City Council announces approvals: park repair grant, senior-program funds and TDOT interchange dollars
At its Nov. 18 meeting (date listed in the transcript), the Memphis City Council recorded several financial acceptances and sponsored resolutions.

Ford Canale, chairman of the Memphis City Council, said the council approved grant funding of $105,000 for maintenance repairs at David Karnes Park. The transcript records the approval but does not include a vote tally or mover/second details.

Speaker 2 (identified in the transcript as chairwoman-elect Jana Swearingen Washington) said the council accepted $60,000 from the Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging to support senior programming at the Josephine Lewis and Frasier Riley Senior Centers. The transcript states the council "accepted" the funds; no roll-call or vote totals are provided.

Canale also said the council accepted more than $1,700,000 from the Tennessee Department of Transportation for the Winchester Drive interchange at Perkins Road. The transcript presents the acceptance as a recorded item; detailed contract documents or implementation timelines were not included.

The transcript additionally notes that Councilman Spinoza sponsored a resolution honoring the sacrifice of service members and their families and that Councilwoman Cooper Sutton sponsored a resolution recognizing First Baptist Church of Lauderdale's 160th anniversary. The record shows sponsorships but does not state whether the resolutions were adopted or include vote tallies.

Pastor May Junior was thanked for serving as the day's chaplain. The meeting closed with outreach reminders to follow the council on social media.
