Fulton County commissioners approve HR manual change, adjust veteran affairs hours and clear multiple administrative payments
Summary
At the Nov. 25 meeting the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an amendment to HR Manual Section 212, authorized Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman to work 30 hours per week (qualifying him for benefits), and approved vendor payments, a county credit card for the Treasurer's Office and other administrative actions.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved several personnel and administrative actions on Nov. 25, 2025, including a change to the county HR Manual, expanded hours for the Veteran Affairs director and multiple vendor payments and authorizations.
Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to accept HR Administrator Mary Huston's proposed amendments to Section 212 (Employee Benefits) of the HR Manual; the motion carried unanimously. The board then approved a request from Veteran Affairs Director Richard Newman to work the equivalent of 30 hours per week, qualifying him as a full‑time employee eligible for benefits because of additional state-assigned duties tied to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption (motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann; approved).
The board approved a series of administrative items recorded in the minutes: retroactive electronic execution of Krivak Trust signatory documents and a retroactive travel‑request approval for Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives; authorization for Interim Treasurer Amy Bishop to obtain a county credit card for the Treasurer's Office; and vendor invoices and program contributions, including EPayment Now dog licenses ($2,363.50), a William Penn Printing invoice ($4,487.70), Elect IT Solutions invoice for December IT staffing ($9,854.00), a HART license and support invoice ($11,815.00), and a CCAP PCoRP final‑installment contribution of $45,442 (total contribution $151,474). The board also approved a Wellness Improvement Program grant application requesting $1,769.60 to reimburse drinking water ($393.75) and purchase an AED ($1,376.25) for the county's newly purchased building at 101 Lincoln Way West, McConnellsburg (motion by Commissioner Hann; approved).
Why it matters: the HR Manual change and the adjustment of the veteran affairs director’s hours affect employee benefit eligibility and personnel costs; the credit‑card authorization and vendor approvals permit routine operations and procurement to continue. The motions were recorded as unanimous approvals in the meeting minutes.
The minutes show no recorded objections to these items; separate meetings (Election Board, Safety Committee) and separate minutes are on file for some matters.
