Commissioners authorize external review of Prothonotary's Office; conduct interviews for prothonotary
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an engagement letter with KB&S (Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C.) to review the Prothonotary's Office and later conducted interviews for the office; the public minutes note that separate records are maintained for the interviews.
Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 3 to hire an external legal and consulting firm to review the county Prothonotary's Office and conducted related interviews later in the day.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve an engagement letter from 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 approved with the minutes recording 'All in favor.' The public minutes do not specify the scope, timeline or cost of the review; the motion record states only the purpose as a review of the Prothonotary's Office.
In the afternoon the commissioners, along with HR Administrator Mary Huston and Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives, conducted interviews related to the Prothonotary's Office. The public minutes state that interviews were held but do not list candidate names or outcomes; they note that separate minutes or records are on file for some items (for example, the tax appeal hearing earlier in the day).
The board did not record further public deliberation about the review's scope or next steps in the county minutes provided. Any follow-up reporting should rely on the separate minutes or on county officials for additional details.
