Fulton County commissioners vote to move forward with hotel-motel tax distribution after legal advice
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10, 2026 to proceed with distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue based on legal advice after a briefing with the interim treasurer and outside CFO; the motion passed unanimously.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to move forward with distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue in accordance with legal advice. Commissioner Randy H. Bunch made the motion; the minutes record that the motion carried 'All in favor.'
The board discussed the matter with Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Mike Lamb, chief financial officer from Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom). According to the minutes, legal advice or recommendation was cited as the basis for proceeding; the minutes do not specify the text of that advice or a timetable for distribution.
Why it matters: hotel-motel tax revenue typically funds tourism- and hospitality-related programs; the board's decision to rely on legal advice signals that the county will proceed with a distribution approach advised by counsel. The minutes do not list amounts allocated or a schedule for disbursement.
The motion was recorded as moved by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch and approved unanimously. No further details or deadlines were recorded in the meeting minutes.
