Fulton County commissioners approve $160,000 to add a Certified Recovery Specialist
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a $160,000 opioid-settlement plan to add a Certified Recovery Specialist to the Fulton County Family Partnership Team, aiming to expand recovery services countywide.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 16 approved a plan to use $160,000 in opioid-settlement funds to add a Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) to the Fulton County Family Partnership Team.
The motion to approve the plan was made by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann after Executive Development Director Julie Dovey presented the proposal. The board voted unanimously to authorize the expenditure.
County officials said the funding will be used specifically to expand CRS services by adding another specialist to the Family Partnership Team; no additional budget breakdown or a start date for the hire was specified in the meeting minutes. The action was described as using Opioid Settlement Funds and did not reference other grant sources or matching requirements.
The approval follows routine county business earlier in the meeting and came before a later executive session for personnel matters. The record shows the board approved the plan by voice vote with all present commissioners in favor. The next procedural steps — advertising the position, hiring timeline and reporting requirements tied to the settlement funds — were not detailed in the minutes.
