Summary
On Feb. 3, 2026 the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved payroll and accounts payable, authorized an external review of the Prothonotary's Office, approved MATP allocation letters totaling $956,750 across two years, and appointed a commissioner to cover duties during an impending medical leave.
Fulton County commissioners met Feb. 3, 2026 at the Commissioners' Office in a session that included routine finance votes, personnel executive sessions and an engagement to review the Prothonotary's Office.
At the meeting the board approved payroll dated Feb. 6, 2026 for $129,990.81 and accounts payable dated Feb. 3, 2026 for $334,397.62. The accounts payable motion, moved by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann, passed unanimously. The accounts payable distribution listed $96,661.78 to the General Fund, $44,792.44 to the 911 fund and $26,017.13 to Debt Service among other line items.
Commissioners also approved the Jan. 27, 2026 Commissioners' Minutes and the Jan. 27, 2026 Salary Board Minutes on motions by Commissioner Steven L. Wible.
During the morning session the board entered an executive session at 8:30 a.m. for legal matters and reconvened at 9:20 a.m. A tax appeal hearing was then held; the transcript notes Commissioner Steven L. Wible abstained from that matter because of a conflict of interest and that separate minutes for the tax appeal are on file.
The board approved and executed the January 2026 Retirement Fund Report as presented by HR Administrator Mary Huston. It also approved travel requests for Services for Children Director Christine McQuade and Services for Children Fiscal Technician Stephanie Mellott to attend the PA Children and Youth Administrators Conference March 11–13, 2026 in State College, PA.
On the administration side, the commissioners approved an engagement letter from KB&S — Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C. — to provide legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office. The board also authorized Commissioner Wible to execute Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) allocation letters for FY 2024–2025 and FY 2025–2026 in the amounts of $464,875.00 and $491,875.00, respectively. The transcript does not define the MATP acronym; the board record lists the allocation amounts as shown.
The commissioners approved a laptop quote submitted by Rick Grissinger of Elect IT to be used in Franklin County for Jury Coordinator duties and approved an invoice from Franklin County Fiscal for Fulton County court costs for the fourth quarter of 2025 in the amount of $38,819.27, described in the meeting as 10% of court wages and benefits.
The board held an executive session on personnel matters and, after returning, moved to appoint Commissioner Steven L. Wible to perform committee duties assigned to a commissioner during an upcoming medical leave, effective when that leave begins.
The meeting recessed for a CJAB meeting at 10:58 a.m., reconvened in the afternoon, conducted interviews for the Prothonotary's Office with the commissioners, HR Administrator and Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives, and adjourned at 3:05 p.m.
