The Shelby County Budget Subcommittee convened on June 11, 2025, to discuss key amendments to the fiscal year 2026 budget. The meeting focused on two significant funding allocations aimed at enhancing public safety and health initiatives in the region.

The first item addressed was a motion to amend the budget to allocate $7 million to the joint Memphis and Shelby County Office of Public Safety. Sponsored by Commissioner Charlie Caswell, the motion was moved by Commissioner Bradford to send it down without recommendation due to the absence of detailed documentation outlining the allocation's specifics. The committee agreed to proceed without objection, emphasizing the need for additional information in future discussions.

Following this, the subcommittee reviewed a second motion to allocate funding for public safety and public health initiatives in Memphis and Shelby County. Commissioner Bradford again moved to send this item down without recommendation, which was accepted without objection.

With all agenda items addressed, the committee concluded the meeting, noting that a spreadsheet detailing the items discussed would be prepared for the next meeting. Commissioner Bradford encouraged fellow members to review the discussions available on YouTube to avoid rehashing topics in future sessions. The meeting officially adjourned, marking a step forward in the budget process for Shelby County.
