Joint commission charged to report annually; RFP to be finalized and circulated

Booker T Washington Joint Commemorative Commission · August 17, 2026

Summary

Members confirmed the commission's reporting duty to the General Assembly (first report due Dec. 1, 2026), agreed to finalize the RFP with DGS/State Library input and to send a poll to schedule the next meeting after the RFP is refined.

The chair reminded members that the commission was reconstituted by Senate Joint Resolution 111 and must "report annually to the General Assembly," with the first report due no later than Dec. 1, 2026. She emphasized that the group's immediate tasks are RFP finalization, site refinement and fundraising.

The clerk said she will meet with the Department of General Services and the State Library to resolve procurement questions before circulating the RFP draft to commissioners for comment; the chair said staff will send a poll to set the next meeting after the RFP has been finalized. Members were invited to propose changes to the draft RFP and to begin compiling potential donor lists to support the project.
