Fulton County commissioners move to implement hotel‑motel tax distribution per legal advice
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to proceed with distribution of hotel‑motel tax revenue based on legal recommendation after a discussion with the interim treasurer and county fiscal staff; the motion carried unanimously.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted on Feb. 10, 2026, to move forward with distributing hotel‑motel (occupancy) tax revenue according to legal advice. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch made the motion, which commissioners Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann supported; the minutes record the action as carried 'All in favor.'
The item was discussed with Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and CFO Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom). County staff presented the issue and cited legal guidance as the basis for the recommended distribution approach; the meeting record does not include a distribution formula or dollar amounts.
Commissioners did not record any detailed allocation or implementation timeline in the minutes. The motion provides formal direction to county officials to carry out the distribution consistent with the legal advice and the county’s internal procedures.
The decision was taken as part of a regular commissioners’ meeting that also handled routine administrative business; no additional public hearing or vote on a specific allocation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
