Fulton County approves HR manual benefit changes and upgrades Veterans Affairs director to full‑time status
Summary
The Fulton County commissioners accepted HR Administrator Mary Huston's proposed changes to Section 212 'Employee Benefits' and unanimously approved a change allowing Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to work an equivalent of 30 hours weekly and qualify for full‑time benefits to cover state‑assigned duties.
At the Nov. 25 Fulton County commissioners meeting, the board accepted a proposal from HR Administrator Mary Huston to amend Section 212, 'Employee Benefits,' of the county HR Manual and directed Huston to return with final language for official adoption.
Commissioners also approved making Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman eligible for full‑time status by allowing him to work an equivalent of 30 hours per week and receive benefits. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to grant Newman full‑time status to accommodate additional duties assigned by the state related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption; the motion was recorded as unanimously approved.
The minutes show commissioners requested that Huston bring back formalized HR Manual changes for official approval at a later date. No specific language for the Section 212 amendments appears in the minutes, and the record does not identify any fiscal impact estimates tied to the benefits change. The board recorded all personnel decisions in the meeting minutes as 'All in favor.'
