At their Nov. 25, 2025 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a series of personnel and administrative actions, accepted routine invoices and grant applications, and recorded that a scheduled property bid opening received no offers.
The board accepted proposed changes to Section 212 ("Employee Benefits") of the county HR Manual presented by HR Administrator Mary Huston; Commissioner Steven L.

Commissioner Hervey P.
