Fulton County approves veteran affairs director as full‑time amid added state duties
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved making Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman equivalent to a 30‑hour full‑time employee with benefits after the state assigned additional responsibilities tied to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Nov. 25 to make Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman eligible for full‑time status and benefits by authorizing him to work the equivalent of 30 hours per week.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the change, which the minutes say is in response to additional duties assigned by the state relating to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption. The motion passed with all commissioners recorded as in favor.
The minutes do not include Newman’s prior weekly schedule, the effective date of the status change beyond the motion date, or details about changes in pay or benefits. The board did not record any public comment on the staffing change during the meeting.
