Memphis Mayor A C Wharton's transition team met for about two hours this afternoon.
And while transition team co-chair Mike Carpenter, a county commissioner, said there was no major news out of the meeting, a new subcommittee has been officially added to the roster.
A Capital Improvement Projects committee was added today with the narrow charge of looking at any projects related to stimulus-funded projects.
"Simply because there are deadlines and requirements that have to be met," Carpenter said. "This committee will give the mayor the full picture of where those projects are and whether they're progressing as they should."
Nisha Powers, president of Powers Hill Design, will chair the committee.
The nine subcommittees are made up of transition team members and will spend up to 90 days scrutinizing progress in various areas of city government, including human resources, education and economic development.
