IT director reports 2‑factor rollout and firewall completion; commissioners approve working with SAP&DC on comprehensive plan

IT Director Rick Grissinger briefed the Fulton County commissioners on March 17 about ongoing IT work. Grissinger reported that rollout of two‑factor authentication remains in progress, the county firewall project has been completed, and a recent fix now alerts staff when the phone system goes down.

Following the update, Commissioner Hervey P. Hann moved that Fulton County work with the Southern Alleghenies Planning & Development Commission (SAP&DC) on a comprehensive plan update to revise 'Alleghenies Ahead,' the regional plan that serves as each county's comprehensive plan, citing an email from SAP&DC Director Lee Slusser. The motion was recorded as approved 'All in favor.'

The action directs county staff to coordinate with SAP&DC on the planning process; the minutes do not specify schedule, budget or contractual terms for that work.
