Fulton County approves 2025–2030 Franklin/Fulton Drug and Alcohol grant agreement

The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 13 unanimously approved the 2025–2030 Franklin/Fulton Grant Agreement #4100101172, designating Franklin County as the single-county authority responsible for administering the Drug & Alcohol Program covered by the agreement.

Executive Development Director Julie Dovey presented the agreement and asked the board to approve and execute it. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve the grant agreement between Franklin and Fulton Counties and the Department of Drug & Alcohol Programs; the motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor.

The agreement covers program administration for the 2025–2030 period under the Department of Drug & Alcohol Programs and names Franklin County to act as the single point of authority for the two counties' drug- and alcohol-related program operations. The transcript records the grant agreement by its contract number (#4100101172) but does not specify budget amounts, staffing changes, or implementation dates beyond the agreement timeframe.

Julie Dovey made the request during the commissioners' regular meeting; the board recorded the motion to approve without amendment. The meeting record does not identify any objections, amendments, or conditions attached to the approval.

The commissioners proceeded to other agenda items after recording the approval; no follow-up tasks or reporting deadlines tied to the grant agreement are recorded in the meeting minutes.
