Fulton County approves SFPP sub-agreement with local food bank, OKs travel and equipment purchases
Summary
The Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 10 to execute a Sub-Agreement naming the county administrator for the State Food Purchase Program, and approved travel, vehicle tire purchase and a certification statement for Services for Children.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 10 approved a Sub-Agreement with the Fulton County Food Basket, Inc. to serve as county administrator for the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) after Food Basket Director Sue Cubbage explained that state funds now flow directly to the county rather than the nonprofit.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve and execute the Sub-Agreement; the motion carried with all in favor. The minutes state the change in payment routing creates a need for the county to formally name an administrator of the program through the Sub-Agreement; the minutes do not include the Sub-Agreement text or detailed terms.
The board also approved several routine administrative items: a travel request for Services for Children Director Christine McQuade to attend the "Chief Justice Max Baer's Children's Roundtable Summit" in Hershey, Pa., April 22–24, 2026; a Citgo tire quote for four tires at $640 to allow a Services for Children vehicle to pass inspection; and a Certification Statement for the fourth quarter of 2025 submitted by Services for Children Fiscal Technician Stephanie Mellott. Each motion was recorded as passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Routing of state SFPP funds directly to the county changes the administrative relationship between the county and the food bank and requires a formal sub-agreement to clarify roles and responsibilities. The travel and vehicle maintenance approvals are routine administrative steps to support county services for children.
What happens next: The county will execute the Sub-Agreement and administer SFPP funds as the named administrator; the minutes do not specify implementation steps, reporting timelines, or the amount of SFPP funds now routed through the county.
