Commission

Chairman Mike Kenn introduced a resolution calling for a homeland security

conference for Fulton County government and the nine municipalities in

the county. The resolution calls for the county manager to convene a homeland

security conference in the next 60 days.

The conference

represents the first time that the Board of Commissioners and the elected

officials of Fulton County's nine cities will meet to discuss the issues

pertaining to homeland security.

The idea for

the conference stems from conversations between Kenn and several elected

officials at one of the chairman's monthly mayors' meetings. The goal

of the conference will be to ensure that there is a coordinated delivery

of public services should a terrorist strike occur within Fulton County.

Kenn spokesman

Michael Harris said the county is working with the municipalities to set

up the conference within the next two months.
