Fulton County approves $63,800 in state probation grants and acknowledges retention stipend plan
Summary
The board authorized signature on a $35,000 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant and a $28,800 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant and acknowledged a proposed retention stipend funded from monthly supervision fees to be held in a restricted account used by the President Judge.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized county acceptance and signature for two state grants totaling $63,800 to support adult probation services. The board authorized Commissioner Randy H. Bunch to sign a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Both motions passed unanimously.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller presented the grant requests and also submitted a Retention Efforts Letter proposing a stipend funded from monthly supervision fees. The minutes state the stipend would be kept in a restricted account and could only be expended by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department. Commissioners acknowledged the letter; the minutes record no further policy detail or a timeline for implementation in the public minutes.
The recorded motions authorize the chair to sign the grant agreements; the minutes do not specify grant award conditions, required matching funds, or reporting schedules. The board’s action allows the county to receive the grant funds and proceed with program administration subject to state grant terms and any judicial oversight of the proposed stipend account.
