The Shelby County Committee Meeting held on May 28, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including employee childcare programs and the extension of administrative services for on-the-job injury management.
The meeting commenced with procedural acknowledgments and a call for votes on previous items. The committee approved a recommendation with six affirmative votes from Commissioners Bibbs, Sugarman, Ford, Wright, Bradford, and Brooks.
A significant addition to the agenda was the discussion of an employee childcare program aimed at supporting employees earning less than $55,000 annually. Commissioner Sugarman moved for the item, with Commissioner Wright seconding the motion. The item was amended to include Commissioner Sugarman as a sponsor, and it passed with six votes in favor.
Following this, the committee transitioned to the General Government Committee, where they addressed the election of notaries public. This resolution, sponsored by Commissioner Henry E. Brooks, was also approved with four affirmative votes.
Another critical item was the proposed 90-day extension of services with CorVel Corporation for managing on-the-job injury administrative services. This extension, which would run from July 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, is necessary to ensure continuity while the county completes its solicitation process for these services. The requested funding for this extension is capped at $52,000.
The meeting concluded with all discussed items receiving favorable recommendations, highlighting the committee's commitment to supporting county employees and ensuring effective administrative processes. Further follow-up actions will be necessary as the county moves forward with these initiatives.
