Fulton County authorizes two probation grants totaling $63,800 and acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
Fulton County commissioners authorized a $35,000 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant and a $28,800 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for fiscal 2025–2026, and acknowledged a Chief Probation Officer letter proposing a retention stipend funded from a restricted monthly supervision-fee account.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized two state grants to support the county’s adult probation operations and acknowledged a proposal aimed at staff retention.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller asked the board to approve a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. The board voted to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign both state grant agreements. Commissioners also formally acknowledged a retention-efforts letter from Miller proposing use of a stipend funded from the monthly supervision fee that is held in a restricted account and may be spent by the President Judge for Adult Probation purposes.
The meeting minutes record the approvals as motions made by Commissioner Steven L. Wible (grant authorization) and Commissioner Hervey P. Hann (related actions), each carrying unanimous consent. The transcript does not specify program-level budgeting beyond the grant amounts or the exact stipend amount, only that the stipend would come from a restricted monthly supervision-fee account and require use by the President Judge.
Next steps: the county will execute grant paperwork and the Treasurer/President Judge will manage restricted account disbursements as required. The minutes do not list a timeline for stipend payments or additional conditions beyond the restricted-account language.
