Fulton County approves sub‑agreement naming county administrator for state food purchase funds
Summary
County commissioners approved a sub‑agreement with the Fulton County Food Basket after staff said state State Food Purchase Program funds now flow directly to the county; the sub‑agreement names the county administrator for SFPP.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 10 approved and executed a sub‑agreement with the Fulton County Food Basket, Inc. to administer the State Food Purchase Program (SFPP). Food Basket Director Sue Cubbage told the board that state SFPP funds now come directly to the county rather than to the Food Basket, creating a need for the county to formally name an administrator through a sub‑agreement.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to approve and execute the sub‑agreement; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes do not include the sub‑agreement text or the administrative responsibilities assigned to the county beyond naming an administrator.
Why it matters: the administrative shift could change how state food purchase funds are distributed locally and how the Food Basket coordinates program operations. County staff said the change is an administrative requirement tied to the way state funds are routed.
Next steps: the board approved execution of the sub‑agreement at the meeting; the minutes do not specify reporting requirements, timelines or whether any county department will receive additional funding to support administration.
