Fulton County approves sub-agreement with Food Basket to administer State Food Purchase Program
Summary
The county will execute a Sub-Agreement naming the county as administrator of the State Food Purchase Program after staff said state funds are now routed to the county rather than directly to the Food Basket; the measure passed unanimously.
Fulton County commissioners approved and executed a Sub-Agreement with the Fulton County Food Basket, Inc. on Feb. 10, 2026, designating the county as administrator for the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP).
Sue Cubbage, director of the Fulton County Food Basket, told commissioners that state funds "now come directly to the County instead of the Food Basket," requiring the county to name an administrator through a Sub-Agreement. Following that explanation, Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve and execute the Sub-Agreement; the motion was recorded as passing unanimously.
The minutes do not specify dollar amounts, the term length of the Sub-Agreement, or reporting requirements; county staff will be responsible for administering funds that the transcript indicates are now routed to the county. The decision transfers the administrative relationship between state SFPP funds and local program operations from the Food Basket to county oversight, per the document presented at the meeting.
The board approved the Sub-Agreement as part of routine business and no additional conditions, amendments or follow-up deadlines were recorded in the meeting minutes.
