The Fulton County Board of Commissioners at its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting approved a series of routine financial and administrative actions, including accounts payable of $135,622.38, the hiring of a Domestic Relations Enforcement Officer and several procurement and policy items.
Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve Accounts Payable dated Jan. 13, 2026 in the amount of $135,622.38; the total spans multiple funds including $66,644.09 to the General Fund, $3,874.57 to Fund 238 (911), $64,720.44 to Capital Projects and smaller amounts in other funds. The vote was recorded as unanimous.
Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop provided a month-end accounts report for Dec. 31, 2025; the meeting minutes note the report but do not contain detailed balances beyond the payables tally. Domestic Relations Director Tina Gress requested approval to fill a vacant 'Enforcement Officer 1' position. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to hire Angie Horton for that union position, effective Jan. 26, 2026; the Salary Board set the position’s salary per the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The board approved the 2026 pay scale as presented by HR Administrator Mary Huston and revised the HR Manual Section 212 to add an employee opt-out of county health insurance. Under the adopted language, eligible employees who waive health insurance will receive a pro-rated monetary payment up to $1,020 per calendar year ($85 per month). The waiting period is excluded when calculating the payment; the payment will be made with the final December payroll or upon resignation, and employees must leave in good standing to receive it.
Procurement and payments approved include the CCAP PCoRP invoice (2nd installment) for $45,442 and the SAP&DC invoice for local transportation support in the amount of $8,598. The board approved a renewal quote for ASPIRE two-factor authentication as submitted by Rick Grissinger, Elect IT. Commissioners also approved an Application for Burial Expenses for veteran Floyd G. McGinnis (U.S. Air Force, 1964–1968) with payment to his surviving spouse, Janet McGinnis.
