At a Jan. 6 reorganizational meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners adopted 2026 bylaws, reappointed multiple officials including Interim Treasurer Amy Bishop, and assigned commissioners to standing committees and regional boards for the year.
Fulton County Commissioners on Jan. 6 adopted board bylaws for 2026, reappointed several county officials and assigned commissioners to standing committees and regional boards during their reorganizational meeting at the Commissioners' Office.
The action to adopt the 2026 bylaws, moved by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch, was taken "pursuant to provisions found in the County Code, the Act of August 9, 1955 (16 Purdon, Sections 503 and 509 as amended)," the minutes say. The motion carried unanimously.
The board approved reappointments to the Bedford Fulton Joint Recreation Authority to stagger terms: Eric Weisbrod (term to expire Jan. 1, 2029), Paul Johnston (term to expire Jan. 6, 2030) and Greg Henry (term to expire Jan. 5, 2031). Commissioners also reappointed county legal and administrative roles for 2026, including Solicitor Jim Stein & DSS Law, Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives, Tax Claim Bureau Director Amy Bishop, Chief Assessor Melissa Gordon, Sealer of Weights & Measures (Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture) and Director of Veterans' Affairs Richard Newman. County engineering services were listed as Keller Engineers and CES Engineering.
Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to reappoint Amy Bishop as Interim County Treasurer for 2026; that motion carried unanimously. The board also designated committee and board assignments for the year, including the Permanent Salary Board and the County Treasurer Retirement Board (both listing all three commissioners), Assessment Appeals Board and numerous regional panels and advisory groups.
The minutes show Michael Beatty was appointed chairman of the Farmland Agricultural Land Preservation Board for 2026. The commissioners held separate annual reorganizational meetings for the Salary and Retirement Boards at 9:00 a.m.; separate minutes are on file. The meeting adjourned at 10:37 a.m.
