The Fulton County Commissioners met for their regular session on Thursday, March 12, 2026. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, prayer, roll call, approval of minutes from the March 10 session, and approval of the agenda.
During old business, commissioners reviewed the February investment report and Dog Warden reports for periods ending February 14 and February 21.
In new business, the board approved appropriation changes that included creating a new Board of Elections filing fees line with $5,000, along with several postage-related adjustments involving the auditor, dog and kennel, and real estate assessment budgets.
Commissioners also approved canceling regular sessions set for March 17, March 24, and March 26 due to a lack of quorum. A payment plan agreement for the Northeast Water System account at 16111 State Route 64 in Metamora was also approved.
