Fulton County approves outside review of Prothonotary's Office; interviews held
Summary
Commissioners approved an engagement letter with KB&S to review the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office and conducted interviews for the office later the same day; no appointment was recorded in the minutes.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to approve an engagement letter with KB&S — Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C. — “to provide professional legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office.” The motion was made by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann and the minutes record the vote as “All in favor.”
The board later conducted interviews for the Prothonotary's Office with commissioners joined by HR Administrator Mary Huston and Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives. The minutes record that interviews were conducted but do not name any hires or recommend a timeline for the review or staffing decision. Separate minutes are on file for the tax appeal hearing that occurred earlier in the morning; Commissioner Steven L. Wible abstained from that hearing because of a conflict of interest.
The engagement letter authorizes KB&S to provide legal and consulting services for the review; the minutes do not specify a scope of work deadline, deliverables, or estimated cost. The next procedural step recorded in these minutes is the completion of interviews; no final action on staffing or the KB&S review was included in the record from this session.
