Fulton County commissioners approve 2026 pay scale, HR opt‑out payment and routine invoices; accept real estate agent for county property
Summary
At their Jan. 13 meeting the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved the 2026 pay scale and an HR manual revision creating a health insurance opt‑out payment (up to $1,020 annually), approved multiple invoices including CCAP PCoRP and SAP&DC, authorized a burial expense payment for a veteran, revised the LERTA application wording, and accepted a 3% real estate agent quote for county property.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a package of personnel and routine operational items during its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting.
Pay and benefits: Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve the county’s 2026 pay scale as presented by HR Administrator Mary Huston. The board also approved a revision to the HR Manual (Section 212, "Employee Benefits") to allow eligible employees who waive health insurance to receive a prorated opt‑out payment up to $1,020 per calendar year ($85 per month), paid with the final payroll in December or upon resignation; employees must leave in good standing to receive the payment.
Invoices and IT: Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve several operational invoices and renewals: the CCAP PCoRP second‑installment invoice for $45,442, and the SAP&DC invoice for Local County Support/Transportation Support for $8,598. The board also approved a renewal quote for the ASPIRE two‑factor authentication service submitted by Rick Grissinger (Elect IT).
Veterans and local programs: The board approved an Application for Burial Expenses for veteran Floyd G. McGinnis (U.S. Air Force, 1964–1968), authorizing payment to surviving spouse Janet McGinnis. Commissioners also voted to notify organizations to apply for hotel/motel tax funding after the county receives the fourth‑quarter payment, and approved a wording change to the LERTA application to read "Inspection by Zoning Officer or Fulton County Planning."
Property disposition: Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to accept Ronald Richards as the real estate agent for property at 119 N. 2nd Street, McConnellsburg, PA, with his quote at 3% of total sales; the motion carried unanimously.
Why it matters: the pay scale and HR manual revision affect employee take‑home pay and benefits administration; approvals of invoices and vendor renewals keep county operations and IT security services running; acceptance of a real estate agent begins the process of marketing a county property.
What’s next: staff will implement the approved pay and benefits changes, process invoices, and proceed with the property sale listing under the accepted agent agreement.
