Summary

The board approved four consent items: a no-fund data-use agreement with Tennessee, a $10,000 donation from the Marjorie Newhall Foundation, an amendment to the Strong Babies grant, and $843,396 in workforce-development foundational funding.

The Metro Nashville Board of Health voted to approve the grants-and-contracts consent agenda, authorizing routine agreements and funding items.

Jim Diamond presented four items for the board's review: a data-use agreement with the State of Tennessee (no funding attached), a $10,000 donation from the Marjorie Newhall Foundation (to be treated as a grant), an amendment to the Strong Babies grant to reallocate budget line items at the request of a program lead, and the next-year award for workforce-development foundation funding of $843,396.

Doctor McDonald moved approval and Doctor Ziegler seconded. The chair called the voice vote and announced "Motion carries." The board did not record roll-call tallies in the transcript.

Board members were invited to request more detail if needed; staff will circulate documentation for each item.
