Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 10, 2026, to proceed with distributing hotel-motel tax revenue following legal advice, a step county fiscal officials said was needed before funds are allocated.
The decision came after Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed met with the commissioners and reviewed options with Mike Lamb, chief financial officer at Wessel & Co., who joined the meeting by Zoom. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to move forward with distribution "according to legal advice/recommendation," and the board approved the motion unanimously.
County officials presented the discussion to the board; the transcript does not specify proposed allocation amounts or the legal opinion's text. The commissioners did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript beyond the repeated statement "All in favor."
The action authorizes county staff to implement the distribution plan consistent with counsel's recommendation; next steps recorded in the meeting packet include working with the treasurer's office and outside finance counsel to execute the distribution. No statutory citation or ordinance was provided in the meeting record.
