Summary

The board heard two FY2026 Health Department grant amendments: a $40,000 state grant addition (total contract $957,800) and an $11,138 carryover for a maternal/child HIV grant (total contract $101,338). The meeting also included ceremonial resolutions honoring ABC West Tennessee, Sam O'Brien, LeMoyne–Owen College and Koranda Huda Brown Dawson.

During its Feb. 2026 session the Shelby County Board of Commissioners was briefed on two committee-sponsored health-department budget amendments and presented several ceremonial recognitions for local organizations and leaders.

Paul Materian, the parliamentarian, read Items 7 and 8 from the Hospitals & Health Committee. Item 7 would amend the FY2026 Shelby County Health Department grant fund operating budget by adding $40,000 in state grant funds and would add two full-time-equivalent positions for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026; the item lists a total contract amount of $957,800. Item 8 would carry over $11,138 into the FY2026 grant-fund budget for the Maternal and Child Health HIV grant, bringing that contract total to $101,338 for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The reading notes both items require appropriation and expenditure of grant funds and are sponsored by Commissioner Clay Bibbs.

Separately, the commission presented several ceremonial resolutions: a fiftieth-anniversary resolution for ABC West Tennessee, a special resolution honoring Sam O'Brien (Bridges president/CEO) and an item recognizing the fiftieth anniversary of LeMoyne–Owen College's 1975 national-championship team. The board also recognized Koranda Huda Brown Dawson for community leadership and entrepreneurship. Honorees expressed gratitude and highlighted workforce-development, literacy and youth-engagement work.
