JOHNSTOWN Fulton County supervisors recently authorized $16,000 worth of contracts with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and Citizens in Community Services for Raise the Age Law services.
County Administrative Officer Jon Stead told the Board of Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee that Fulton County’s RTA contract was “finally” approved by New York state after a protracted delay. Two contracts had to be resubmitted for approval because the county wasn’t sure if the state was going to approve RTA contracts for 2021.
The contracts are an $11,000 contract with the office of District Attorney Chad Brown and a $5,000 contract with Citizens in Community Service.
