Fulton County commissioners move to proceed with hotel-motel tax distribution per legal advice
Summary
At their Feb. 10 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue based on legal advice after a staff briefing; no detailed allocation was recorded in the public minutes.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to proceed with distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue "according to legal advice/recommendation," Commissioner Randy H. Bunch said when he moved the measure. The motion carried with all in favor.
Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and CFO Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom) briefed the commissioners before the vote. The group discussed options for distributing the tax receipts but the minutes record only that the board decided to follow legal counsel’s guidance; the transcript provides no further allocation details.
County officials present did not record a roll-call vote in the minutes beyond the note that all were in favor. Commissioners Bunch, Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann were listed as present during the session. No timeline or effective date for the disbursements was specified in the public record.
The matter was taken up and decided during the regular commissioners' meeting; the minutes do not indicate any follow-up steps or a schedule for disbursement in the transcript.
