Summary
At their Dec. 9 meeting, Fulton County commissioners approved Planning Commission and Conservation District reappointments, two probation grants totalling $63,800, a TelePlus maintenance agreement, Conrad Siegel invoices for pension work, the 2025 State Food Plan, Elect IT contract addenda, and approved changes to Treasurer office procedures and bank signers.
Fulton County’s Board of Commissioners handled a slate of routine business and grant approvals at a Dec. 9 meeting, voting unanimously on minutes, payroll, payables, appointments, grants and several contracts.
Early on the agenda the board approved the Nov. 25 meeting minutes, payroll dated Dec. 12, 2025 (total $151,302.01) and payables dated Dec. 9, 2025 (total $152,517.49) that included fund-level totals across General Fund, Liquid Fuels, Law Library, 911, Debt Service and other funds.
Commissioners approved Planning Commission reappointments for Paula Shives, James Gress, Jeremy Fletcher and Tim Newman to four-year terms through Dec. 31, 2029, and reappointed Russell McLucas as a Conservation District Director for the same term length. The board also approved the 2025 State Food Plan as submitted by Sue Cubbage.
Chief Probation Officer Dan Miller presented two state grant awards: a 2025–2026 Intermediate Punishment Treatment Grant for $35,000 and a 2025–2026 Continuing County Adult Probation/Parole Grant for $28,800. Commissioner Bunch was authorized to sign both grant agreements. The board additionally acknowledged a retention proposal to use a stipend funded from the monthly supervision fee kept in a restricted account to be expended by the President Judge for the Adult Probation Department; the acknowledgement does not itself implement the stipend but records the board’s recognition of the retention plan.
On retirement and financial-advisory matters, HR Administrator Mary Huston presented the November 2025 Retirement Fund Report, which the board approved. Separately, the board approved payment of two Conrad Siegel, Inc. invoices: $5,700 for actuarial services (to be paid from the Charles Schwab Pension Account) and $3,844.25 for investment advisory services (to be paid from plan assets).
Commissioners approved a TelePlus Protection System Extended Service Agreement (Silver Maintenance Coverage Plan) for calendar year 2026 at $14,040.56; the board also approved three Elect IT contract addenda (Addendum A: IT staffing/support; Addendum B: Managed Backup Services; Addendum C: IT/cyber security awareness & phishing simulations) as presented by Nelson Witmer of Elect IT Solutions.
The board heard a presentation from Executive Development Director Julie Dovey, Executive Program Director Elen Ott and Building & Maintenance Director Brad Seville about Phase II renovations for the upper level of a newly purchased building on Lincoln Way West. Commissioners authorized Community State Bank documents to add or remove authorized check signers to accommodate a transition in the Treasurer’s Office. Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop presented and the board authorized changes to Treasurer office operating procedures as proposed.
The meeting included a Retirement Board meeting at 9:15 a.m. (David Lytle attended via Zoom) and concluded with a motion to adjourn at 11:02 a.m.
All motions in the minutes were recorded as carried (the transcript records "All in favor").
