Fulton County approves sub‑agreement to have county administer state food purchase funds
Summary
The county approved a Sub‑Agreement naming the county as administrator of State Food Purchase Program funds that will now flow directly to the county rather than the Fulton County Food Basket; board approved the agreement unanimously.
Fulton County commissioners approved a Sub‑Agreement Feb. 10, 2026, designating the county as administrator for State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) funds that will now be routed directly to the county.
Sue Cubbage, director of the Fulton County Food Basket, told the board that state food purchase funds are now paid directly to the county rather than the Food Basket, requiring the county to name an administrator through a Sub‑Agreement. Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed participated in the discussion. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve and execute the agreement; the minutes show the motion carried with "All in favor." The minutes do not quote or attach the Sub‑Agreement language.
Why it matters: the administrative shift changes where state funds are received and which public entity will carry fiduciary responsibility for SFPP disbursements. The minutes record approval but do not include the agreement text or details about how the county will administer program operations; those details are likely in the signed Sub‑Agreement held by county staff.
