Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously on Dec. 30, 2025 to accept a State Interconnectivity Grant totaling $230,699.51 to support a suite of 911-related maintenance and upgrade projects.
EMA/911 Director Brian Barton presented the grant request; County HR Administrator Mary Huston was present for personnel implications. The grant award is to be used toward SouthCentral Mountain CAD maintenance, SouthCentral Mountain CHE maintenance, SouthCentral Mountain ESInet maintenance, Fulton NG911 GIS maintenance, a SouthCentral Mountain battery upgrade, and Fulton ILEC maintenance. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve and execute the grant; the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
The board also approved hiring Troy Wagaman as a Per Diem 911 Dispatcher, effective pending required background clearances; Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved to hire Wagaman and commissioners approved the hire. A Salary Board convened briefly at 9:48 a.m. to set the new dispatcher's salary, but the minutes do not specify the salary amount.
