Board approves cybersecurity grant and a budget amendment after executive session

Washington County Board of Commissioners · April 9, 2026

Summary

After an executive session on personnel, the board reconvened and unanimously approved a cybersecurity grant and a budget amendment; the transcript does not specify grant amounts or amendment totals.

Chairman Mel Daniel announced earlier in the meeting that a cybersecurity grant and a budget amendment would be deferred until after an executive session on personnel. Following the executive session, Commissioner James Hitchcock Jr. moved to approve the cybersecurity grant and Commissioner Frank Simmons Jr. seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve. Commissioner Harlan Archer then moved to approve the budget amendment, seconded by Commissioner Simmons, and the motion passed unanimously.

The public meeting record does not include the cybersecurity grant amount, the specific line items changed by the budget amendment, or details discussed in executive session (personnel matters are not recorded in the public minutes). The transcript records only that both items were approved in public vote after the closed session.
