Fulton Must Have City Collector
Atty General Danforth ruled Fulton may not abolish the city collector position and have clerical staff perform the duties. In a legal opinion to State Sen. Vanlandingham, he said the office is created by state law in a third class city with mayor council government. The only path is a new law allowing abolition and contracting with county or township collectors.
