Fulton County commissioners approve moving forward with 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 (occupancy tax) revenue in line with legal recommendations after a staff briefing; the motion carried unanimously.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to proceed with distribution of hotel-motel (occupancy) tax revenue according to legal advice presented to the board. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch, chairman, moved the action following a staff briefing that included Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and CFO Mike Lamb (Wessel & Co., via Zoom). The motion passed unanimously.
County staff had reviewed options and discussed the legal framework for allocating proceeds from the hotel-motel tax; the transcript records that the commissioners resolved to follow the legal recommendation but does not record final distribution amounts or a detailed allocation formula. Chief Tax Assessor Melissa Gordon attended the earlier discussion; the record does not show a separate vote to adopt a distribution schedule at this meeting.
The board’s vote was recorded as a motion to proceed with distribution per legal advice, not as final adoption of individual disbursement amounts. The next steps, according to the meeting record, are administrative: staff will implement the recommended distribution approach and follow any additional legal or procedural steps required before funds are disbursed.
