Regular business conducted during the Thursday, June 24, 2021 meeting of the Fulton County Commissioners included the approval of the June 22 minutes, the agenda as presented, the Increase and transfer of appropriations for various departments and Purchase orders and Travel requests.
The commissioners reviewed a request from the FC Sheriff’s Department pertaining to an equipment transfer and approved Resolution 2021-469 Authorizing that transfer. Also reviewed was the May 2021 Unemployment Rate Report. Other items approved included:

Beth Friess informed the Commissioners that the Board of DD office renovation project is ready to move to the next step. She handed out printouts of the “last version” of what will be done and explained that even though building materials are high, they would like to proceed with the estimate now between $100,000 and $110,000.
The main reason for the renovation is to have sound proof rooms so they can hold a number of Zoom or phone calls without a lot of noise. The Commissioners voted to approve Resolution 470 “to Approve and Authorize the advertisement for bids.”
During the next meeting, held on Tuesday, June 29, 2021, the Commissioners held the Bid Opening for a different project, the County Road 10 Project, which had an Engineer’s Estimate of $490,900.
