Fulton County hires law firm to review Prothonotary's Office; commissioners hold interviews
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved an engagement letter with KB&S (Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C.) to review the Prothonotary's Office and later held interviews for the office during an afternoon session; the motions carried unanimously among commissioners present.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 3 to hire KB&S (Kulla, Barkdoll & Stewart, P.C.) to conduct a legal and consulting review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office. Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to approve and execute the engagement letter "to provide professional legal and consulting services related to a review of the Fulton County Prothonotary's Office," and the motion carried with the commissioners recorded as "All in favor."
Why it matters: The engagement authorizes an external review of the county office that handles court filings and records, signaling officials seek independent analysis of practices or operations. The board recorded no additional details about the scope or timetable beyond the engagement language in the motion.
What happened next: In the afternoon session the commissioners, the HR administrator and the chief clerk conducted interviews for positions in the Prothonotary's Office. The meeting minutes state the interviews were led by the three commissioners together with HR Administrator Mary Huston and Chief Clerk Stacey M. Shives; no hiring decision was recorded in the minutes.
