Fulton County commissioners move to distribute hotel‑motel tax revenue based on legal advice
Summary
The Board voted unanimously to proceed with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue according to legal recommendation after a staff briefing with the interim treasurer and county fiscal staff. The transcript does not include the legal advice text or distribution plan details.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to move forward with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue according to legal advice, Commissioner Randy H. Bunch said when he made the motion.
The commissioners discussed the issue with Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and CFO Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co. (joining by Zoom). The transcript records that the group reviewed options and legal guidance; it does not include the legal opinion or the specific allocation plan the county will implement.
Commissioner Bunch moved that the county "move forward with distribution of Hotel Motel Tax Revenue according to legal advice/recommendation," and the board recorded the vote as "All in favor." The motion appears intended to authorize staff to act on counsel’s recommendation rather than to adopt a detailed distribution formula at the meeting.
The discussion and vote followed other routine business at the Feb. 10 session. The transcript does not record objections or amendments to the motion, nor does it provide the legal memorandum or explain how the funds will be spent. The commissioners did not set a subsequent public meeting date in the transcript to finalize allocations.
The meeting record shows the board adjourned at 11:20 a.m.
