Fulton County approves engagement of KB&S to review Prothonotary's Office
Summary
The Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 3 to engage KB&S (Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C.) to provide legal and consulting services for a review of the Prothonotary's Office; the motion passed unanimously and the county will expect a consultant report per the engagement.
At its Feb. 3, 2026 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an engagement letter with KB&S — Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C. — "to provide professional legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office." The motion was made by Commissioner Hervey P. Hann and recorded as carried with all voting in favor.
The minutes record the board's approval of the engagement letter but do not include the engagement's written scope or budget in the open record. The minutes state only that the firm is retained to perform a review; any consultant deliverables, timelines or costs are not specified in the public minutes and would ordinarily follow the engagement letter and procurement records.
The approval came during routine business handling several administrative items. The board recessed for a Criminal Justice Advisory Board meeting later in the morning and resumed in the afternoon for personnel-related executive sessions and interviews for the Prothonotary's Office. The minutes note that separate or additional records may exist for executive-session items and for the tax appeal hearing held earlier in the meeting.
Next steps implied by the approval: execution of the engagement letter and delivery of consultant work products to county administration. The minutes place responsibility for follow-up with county administration and the Prothonotary's Office; no timeline or cost was recorded in the open minutes.
