On Dec. 9, 2025, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners met in the Commissioners' Office and unanimously approved a series of routine financial measures, grants, reappointments and contracts, including HAVA-funded security upgrades for the elections office and two state grants for probation services.
The board approved minutes from its Nov. 25 meeting and accepted payroll of $151,302.01 and payables totaling $152,517.49. The payables action included a fund-level breakdown presented to the board (General Fund $94,208.66; Debt Service $28,746.70; and smaller line items for Liquid Fuels, Law Library, 911 and other funds). Motions to approve these items were made by Commissioners Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann and carried by unanimous vote.
Commissioners met with Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle and reviewed the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant and a TelePlus quote. The board approved, on a motion by Commissioner Wible, a TelePlus quote to install a keycard fob at the Voter Registration/Election Office door and to fund Elect IT contractor Rick Grissinger to install separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office doors. The work will be funded from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant in the amount of $3,000.00; the motion passed unanimously.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller requested two state grants for fiscal 2025–2026. Commissioners authorized Commissioner Bunch to sign a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000.00 (motion by Commissioner Steven L. Wible) and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800.00 (motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann). Both grants were approved unanimously. The board also acknowledged a Retention Efforts Letter from Dan Miller describing a stipend funded from the monthly supervision fee that will be held in a restricted account for use by the President Judge; the acknowledgement was entered by motion of Commissioner Wible.
The board approved a TelePlus Protection System Extended Service Agreement (Silver Maintenance Coverage Plan) for $14,040.56, effective Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2026, on a motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann. A Retirement Board meeting convened at 9:15 a.m. with David Lytle via Zoom (separate minutes are on file). Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve two invoices from Conrad Siegel Inc.: $5,700.00 for actuarial services (July–Dec. 2025) to be paid from the Charles Schwab Pension Account, and $3,844.25 for investment advisory services (July 1–Sept. 30, 2025) to be paid from plan assets; both motions were approved unanimously.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the 2025 State Food Plan as submitted by Sue Cubbage; the motion carried unanimously. The board also approved three Elect IT contract addenda for 2026—Addendum A (IT staffing and support services), Addendum B (managed backup services) and Addendum C (IT/cyber security awareness and phishing simulations)—based on a presentation by Nelson Witmer, President/CEO of Elect IT Solutions. The transcript does not include dollar amounts for the Elect IT addenda.
Executive Development Director Julie Dovey, Executive Program Director Elen Ott and Building and Maintenance Director Brad Seville briefed the board on Phase II renovations for the upper level of a recently purchased building on Lincoln Way West; no formal action was recorded in the transcript on that item.
To accommodate a transition in the Treasurer's Office, the board approved execution of bank documents from Community State Bank to add or remove authorized check signers (motion by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann), and later authorized operational procedure changes for the Treasurer's Office as presented by Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop (motion by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch). The meeting adjourned at 11:02 a.m. on a motion by Commissioner Steven L. Wible.
The actions recorded in the meeting minutes were unanimous where noted; separate minutes are on file for the Retirement Board meeting held during the session.
