Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work:
Fulton County employs a marshal that serves both Magistrate Court and State Court pursuant to O.C.G.A. Sec. 15-10-100(c.1)(1) and 1976 Ga. L. 3023. However, the Fulton County Marshal is appointed pursuant to the process applicable for a marshal in State Court. The salary of the Fulton County Marshal was previously established by local law 1960 Ga. L. 2347 and carried forward by a later local law, 1976 Ga. L. 3023.
On November 17, 2021, via Agenda Item 21-0913, DHRM presented a proposal to establish new salaries and supplements for officials, including the marshal. In order to establish the salary proposed by DHRM, which is different than the amount outlined in the prior local laws, the Board of Commissioners must exercise its Home Rule power and repeal the prior salary provision. The new salary for the marshal, $173,192, will be identified in this legislation as well as the comprehensive resolution for other officials that is also being presented to the Board of Commissioners.
With this repeal, the Board of Commissioners will be able to easily amend the salary of the marshal in the future.
