Fulton County approves $63,800 in state probation grants, acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized Commissioner Bunch to sign two state grants for adult probation — $35,000 for Intermediate Punishment Treatment and $28,800 for Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole — and acknowledged a retention stipend proposal funded from monthly supervision fees.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized two state grants to support adult probation services and acknowledged a retention stipend proposal for probation staff.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller asked the board to approve a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant in the amount of $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant in the amount of $28,800. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to authorize Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign the $35,000 grant; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to authorize Commissioner Bunch to sign the $28,800 grant. Both motions were recorded as carried unanimously.
Commissioners also acknowledged a Retention Efforts Letter from Miller proposing a stipend funded from the monthly supervision fee that would be kept in a restricted account and spent only by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department. The minutes record the acknowledgement but do not include details about stipend size, start date, or steps for implementation.
The board's actions authorize acceptance of the state grant funds and permit the chair to execute grant documents. Any operational changes or stipend disbursements would be subject to the restricted-account rules and further oversight by the President Judge and county finance staff.
