Fulton County approves two state probation grants totaling $63,800 and acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized execution of a $35,000 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant and a $28,800 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant and acknowledged a Chief Probation Officer letter proposing a retention stipend funded from supervision fees.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9, 2025, authorized county execution of two state grants covering probation services and acknowledged a proposal to use supervision fees to fund staff retention incentives.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller asked the board to accept and sign a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign the $35,000 award; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to authorize Commissioner Bunch to sign the $28,800 award. Both motions passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
The minutes also record the board acknowledging a "Retention Efforts Letter" from Dan Miller proposing that a stipend be funded from the monthly supervision fee and held in a restricted account that only the President Judge may spend for the Adult Probation Department. The minutes record the acknowledgement but do not show the board adopting a formal policy change or setting an implementation date.
The motions were recorded as administrative approvals to accept grant awards and to permit the county to receive and administer the funds; the minutes do not list grant application numbers, seconders for the motions, or a timeline for stipend implementation.
