Fulton County signs two state probation grants totaling $63,800 and acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized two state grants—the Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and the Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800—and acknowledged a retention-stipend letter for the Adult Probation Department.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller asked the board to approve two state grants and described a retention proposal for probation staff.
"Motion by Commissioner Wible authorizing Commissioner Bunch to sign a state 2025-2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant in the amount of $35,000.00 as presented by Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller," the transcript records; the motion passed with unanimous approval. In a separate motion, Commissioner Hann authorized Commissioner Bunch to sign a 2025-2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant in the amount of $28,800.00; that motion also passed unanimously.
Commissioners acknowledged a Retention Efforts Letter from Dan Miller describing use of a stipend funded from monthly supervision fees that will be held in a restricted account and can only be spent by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department. The acknowledgment was recorded by motion and passed.
Why it matters: the approved grants provide state funding for probation treatment and supervision programs in Fulton County, and the retention-stipend mechanism would direct restricted supervision-fee funds for staff retention subject to judicial control as described in the letter.
Next steps: motions authorized Commissioner Bunch to sign the grant documents; the transcript does not specify implementation timelines or program details beyond amounts.
