Fulton County amends HR benefits section and classifies Veterans Affairs director as full‑time
Summary
Commissioners approved an amendment to Section 212 of the county HR Manual and voted to designate Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman as working the equivalent of 30 hours per week—qualifying him for full‑time benefits—citing additional state‑assigned duties for the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 25 approved amendments to Section 212 ("Employee Benefits") of the county HR Manual and authorized a staffing classification change in the Veterans Affairs office.
HR Administrator Mary Huston presented proposed changes to Section 212 and the commissioners asked her to return with final language for official adoption; Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to accept Huston’s proposal and the board voted unanimously to proceed with the amendment process. The meeting record indicates the commissioners expect final approval after Huston returns with the revised text.
Separately, Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve Veterans Affairs Director Richard Newman to work an equivalent of 30 hours per week, which the board said qualifies him as a full‑time employee eligible for benefits. Commissioners linked the change to additional duties Newman will perform under state direction related to the Disabled Veterans Real Estate Tax Exemption; the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting minutes record these as administrative personnel actions; no changes to the county’s overall benefits budget or specific benefit levels were detailed during the session.
