Fulton County commissioners approve outside review of Prothonotary's Office
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an engagement letter with KB&S (Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C.) to conduct a legal and consulting review of the Prothonotary's Office; the approval followed procedural executive sessions earlier in the morning.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 3 to hire Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C. (KB&S) to conduct a legal and consulting review of the county Prothonotary's Office. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve an engagement letter; the motion carried "all in favor."
County leaders conducted executive sessions earlier in the meeting for legal matters, then returned to the public meeting and approved the KB&S engagement. The record does not specify the scope timeline or fee arrangements for the review; those details were not included in the minutes filed with the clerk.
The review was presented to the board as an engagement letter; the minutes state the firm will "provide professional legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office." No formal second or dissent was recorded. Separate minutes are kept for related hearings and personnel matters where appropriate.
The board also conducted interviews for positions tied to the Prothonotary's Office later in the day; the minutes record interviews but do not list candidates or hiring decisions. The review and the interviews are the most recent steps recorded in the county's oversight actions regarding the Prothonotary function.
