Fulton County approves $63,800 in probation grants and acknowledges a retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized signatures for a $35,000 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant and a $28,800 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant and acknowledged a retention efforts letter proposing a stipend funded from monthly supervision fees for the Adult Probation Department.
LISBURG, Fulton County — Commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized two state grants totaling $63,800 for the county Adult Probation Department and acknowledged a retention-stipend plan recommended by the chief probation officer.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller presented the requests. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign the 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant in the amount of $35,000; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to authorize Commissioner Bunch to sign the 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Both motions passed unanimously with the commissioners present.
Commissioners also formally acknowledged a Retention Efforts Letter from Dan Miller proposing use of a portion of the monthly supervision fee revenue, held in a restricted account, to fund a staff stipend that can be spent only by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department. The motion to acknowledge the retention proposal was recorded without amendment.
The meeting record does not specify additional eligibility criteria for the stipend or an implementation schedule; the transcript indicates the restricted account and the President Judge spenditure limitation as the mechanism for using the fee funds. There was no recorded dissent or amendment to the grant authorizations or the retention-letter acknowledgement.
The authorized grants require subsequent signature and any standard state reporting associated with grant awards; commissioners did not record further conditions or local matching requirements in the minutes.
