Summary
Fulton County Commissioners authorized two state grants for adult probation totaling $63,800 and acknowledged a proposed stipend funded from restricted monthly supervision fees, to be administered by the president judge for the Adult Probation Department.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners authorized two state grant agreements for the county’s Adult Probation Department totaling $63,800 and recorded acknowledgement of a proposed stipend plan to aid staff retention.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller presented a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign the Intermediate Punishment grant and Commissioner Bunch was likewise authorized to sign the Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole grant; both motions passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
Commissioner Wible also acknowledged receipt of a Retention Efforts Letter from Miller proposing that part of the monthly supervision fee be kept in a restricted account to fund a stipend that the President Judge may allocate for the Adult Probation Department. The board’s acknowledgement was recorded without recorded opposition; the transcript does not specify the stipend amount, the timing of payments, or any changes to county budgeting rules necessary to implement the stipend.
The actions taken were limited to authorizing grant signatures and acknowledging the retention proposal; no contract language or implementation timeline for the stipend was recorded in the meeting transcript.
