FULTON COUNTY — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners met on Jan. 13, 2026, and approved a slate of routine administrative actions, including payables, personnel appointments and vendor invoices, while also signing a multi‑year grant agreement to continue regional drug-and-alcohol program administration.
