Fulton County commissioners move to follow legal advice on hotel‑motel tax distribution
Summary
On Feb. 10, 2026 the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with distribution of hotel‑motel (occupancy) tax revenue according to legal advice after a briefing from county fiscal staff and the interim treasurer; the motion passed unanimously.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10, 2026 to proceed with distribution of hotel‑motel tax revenue in line with legal counsel’s recommendation.
Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed briefed commissioners alongside Mike Lamb, chief financial officer with Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom). Chief Tax Assessor Melissa Gordon was present for the discussion. Commissioners discussed options for allocating the funds but the minutes record that the board chose to “move forward with distribution of Hotel Motel Tax Revenue according to legal advice/recommendation.” Commissioner Randy H. Bunch made the motion; the minutes state the vote was "All in favor."
The minutes do not record specific allocation amounts or a timetable for distribution. The briefing and vote indicate the board accepted counsel’s recommended approach rather than adopting a specific written distribution plan at the meeting. No follow‑up dates or implementation steps were listed in the minutes.
