Fulton County commissioners move to distribute hotel‑motel tax revenue following legal recommendation
Summary
At their Feb. 10 meeting, Fulton County commissioners voted to move forward with distribution of hotel‑motel (occupancy) tax revenue "according to legal advice/recommendation" after a staff briefing; the transcript does not detail allocation amounts or identify the legal source of advice.
Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Randy H. Bunch moved on Feb. 10 to proceed with distribution of the county's hotel‑motel (occupancy) tax revenue "according to legal advice/recommendation." The motion passed with the commissioners recording the outcome as "All in favor."
Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Mike Lamb, chief financial officer for Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom), briefed the board on options for distributing the revenue before the motion. The transcript records that the board solicited and relied on legal advice or a recommendation in deciding to proceed, but it does not specify the content of that advice or the legal office or counsel that provided it. The commissioners did not record allocation amounts or an implementation schedule in the public minutes.
The vote followed the briefing and was announced on the record as unanimous ("All in favor"). Commissioners said no additional action was recorded at the meeting on the specific allocation plan; further details or formal allocation steps were not documented in the transcript.
