Fulton County commissioners approve millings sale, collections contract and several administrative requests

Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously April 7 to approve a package of routine and administrative items, including selling 2,000 tons of road millings to the City at county cost and authorizing a contract to send older criminal case balances to a collections vendor.

The votes came during a regularly scheduled meeting of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners at the courthouse. Commissioners recorded 3-0 tallies on the largest items and approved additional requests including a hospital board appointment, travel and remote-work permissions and a request for a laptop for the sheriff’s office.

The most prominent votes

Sell millings to the City: Commissioners approved selling 2,000 tons of road millings to the City at county cost (reported in discussion as $5.50 per ton). The motion carried 3-0.

Collections contract (Paycor/Paycorp): Commissioners authorized County Attorney Don (name in meeting) to sign a contract with Paycor (referred to in the meeting as Paycorp/Paycor in different exchanges) to pursue collection of past-due fines and costs from older criminal cases. The contract assigns the vendor a collection fee (discussed as a commission) and the county receives collected balances after the vendor’s share; commissioners approved the authorization 3-0.

Woodland Hospital board appointment: The board appointed Brandon Miller to fill a vacancy left by the late Jim Streeter on the Woodland Hospital board. The motion carried 3-0. The term expiration was not specified in the meeting materials.

Other approved items: Commissioners approved a travel reimbursement request for Caleb Russell (receipts required for meals), a remote-work arrangement for the assessor’s office, and a laptop request for the sheriff’s department to support after‑hours payroll/administrative needs. The board also advanced routine appropriations, transfers and claims that were presented at the meeting; those financial items were signed as part of the session’s business.

Why it matters

The millings sale provides the City with low‑cost material for local projects and uses stockpiled county road millings rather than disposal. The collections contract is aimed at recovering long-unpaid fines and fees that the auditor and clerk identified as outstanding; the vendor arrangement shifts collection work to a private contractor in exchange for a portion of recoveries.

What commissioners said and next steps

Commissioners did not request additional public hearings for the millings sale or the collections contract, and each of the primary motions passed by unanimous voice votes. The Paycor contract will be executed by County Attorney Don as authorized; no specific implementation timeline was listed during the meeting. The hospital board appointment will take effect immediately; the meeting record did not show a stated term end date.
