# Hardeman County Commission September 15, 2026

The Hardeman County Commission meeting on September 15, 2026, included several budget and capital-project actions. Commissioners approved school budget amendments, including a $1.5 million transfer from fund balance to capital projects for Central High School improvements, and approved a $20,000 contribution toward the Transition School to Work grant program. The commission also approved a $2,000 salary-line increase for a juvenile-court administrator. A package of other budget amendments was approved by roll call; notable items included $581,563.13 in grant funding and related equipment budgets for the ambulance department, a $300,000 state grant for building improvements to records preservation, and a $15,000 drug-fund allocation for sheriff’s office body cameras, computers, and servers. The ambulance equipment funding included one fully granted purchase and another with an 8% county match.

For infrastructure and procurement, the mayor reported a $425,000 Department of Energy grant and asked the building committee to review a bid and recommend a course of action to the commission. Commissioners also approved continuing A2 as the county’s airport project engineer. The county discussed relocating the Py Chapel convenience center, including permitting and site-preparation needs and a possible lease of nearby land, but no final relocation contract or lease approval was recorded. Zoning amendments, including standards for recreational-vehicle parks and survey requirements, were also approved. No vendor award or final spending decision was reported for the convenience-center relocation.
