The Needs Assessment Committee was established in 2004 by Mayor Wharton to address the capital needs of the Shelby County and Memphis City Schools.  The committee does not approve funding but does recommend to the County Commission capital projects on an as-needed basis.  There are ten voting members and two non-voting members who are all appointed by the Mayor and approved by the County Commission.  The Chairman of the Shelby County School Board is a member of the Committee along with the President of the Memphis City School Board.  The other members are outside citizens who give of their time for this worthy committee.

The Needs Assessment Committee meets every other month in the 4th floor conference room of 160 N. Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee.  Meeting dates and times are posted on the Sunshine Board.
