Fulton County hires KB&S to review Prothonotary's Office; commissioners hold personnel sessions and conduct interviews
Summary
The board approved an engagement with KB&S to review the Prothonotary's Office, held executive sessions on legal and personnel matters, conducted interviews for the Prothonotary's Office, and approved a temporary reassignment of committee duties ahead of a commissioner's medical leave.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 3 to approve an engagement letter with Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C. (KB&S) to "provide professional legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office."
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the engagement; the motion carried unanimously. Later in the day the commissioners, the HR administrator and the chief clerk conducted interviews for positions or matters related to the Prothonotary's Office.
The board held multiple executive sessions during the meeting: an 8:30–9:20 a.m. session for legal matters (after which a tax appeal hearing took place at 9:20 a.m., with Commissioner Steven L. Wible recorded as abstaining on that item due to a conflict of interest) and a 10:35–10:53 a.m. session for personnel matters. Following the personnel session, Commissioner Bunch moved to appoint Commissioner Wible to perform committee duties assigned to a commissioner who will be on medical leave; the appointment was approved and is effective when the medical leave begins.
The meeting minutes note that separate minutes are on file for the tax appeal hearing. The board did not record further public details about the substance of the legal or personnel matters in the open minutes.
