Fulton County commissioners agree to proceed on hotel–motel tax distribution per legal guidance
Summary
Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 10 to move forward with a proposed distribution of hotel–motel tax revenue based on legal recommendation after a presentation by county fiscal staff and an outside CFO who joined by Zoom.
FULTON COUNTY — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to move forward with a plan to distribute hotel–motel tax revenue according to legal advice presented to the board.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to proceed with the distribution "according to legal advice/recommendation," and the motion was recorded as carried with the meeting notation "All in favor." Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed were present for the discussion; CFO Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co. joined by Zoom to provide fiscal input.
County staff described options for how the revenue could be allocated; the transcript records that the commissioners chose to follow the legal recommendation rather than adopt an alternative distribution at the meeting. The record does not specify the final allocation percentages or which programs will receive funds; commissioners directed staff to implement the distribution consistent with the legal guidance provided.
The decision followed a brief review of county revenue and the procedural steps needed to effect distribution. No roll-call votes were recorded in the minutes beyond the meeting phrase "All in favor."
The board adjourned later in the morning at 11:20 a.m.
