The City of Laredo Commission for Women met on November 10, 2026. Members approved the prior meeting minutes with a correction to the attendance record. The chair reported that the 2026–2027 action plan and budget for the women’s conference had been approved by City Council, allowing planning to proceed. Members were told that a future presentation would explain requirements for council members’ discretionary funds; any spending from those funds must follow the city purchasing policy. No new contract award or purchase was approved at this meeting.

The main presentation covered the City Health Department’s breast-screening program, which reported serving about 215 women and having received $1.2 million in grant funding in December 2025; Gateway had withdrawn from the partnership, leaving more funds available for patients. The presenters discussed seeking a donation for a pre-owned ultrasound probe priced at $1,206.71, but no donation or purchase was approved. They also described existing patient supports, including $25 H-E-B gift cards for eligible patients, and potential future grant applications and partnerships. The Commission scheduled its next meeting for December 8 at 5:30 p.m.
