Fulton County approves two probation grants and acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized two state grants totaling $63,800 for county probation programs (a $35,000 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant and a $28,800 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant) and acknowledged a retention efforts letter proposing a stipend funded from restricted monthly supervision fees.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 9 approved two state grants presented by Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller and acknowledged a retention plan aimed at improving probation staff retention.
Dan Miller asked the board to authorize signatures for a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign the Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to authorize Commissioner Bunch to sign the Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant. Both motions passed unanimously.
Commissioner Wible also acknowledged a Retention Efforts Letter from Chief Probation Officer Miller recommending that a stipend be implemented from the monthly supervision fee kept in a restricted account that may be spent only by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department. The board recorded acknowledgement of that letter but did not adopt an implementation schedule in the meeting minutes.
The record lists the grant amounts and shows unanimous approval; the meeting minutes do not specify reporting deadlines or performance metrics tied to the grant spending in this session.
