Fulton County to distribute hotel‑motel tax revenue following legal recommendation
Summary
After a presentation from county finance staff and an outside CFO on Feb. 10, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to proceed with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue according to legal advice; the transcript does not record distribution details.
Commissioners on Feb. 10 heard a presentation from Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed, joined via Zoom by Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co., about options for distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue.
Chairman Randy H. Bunch moved to "move forward with distribution of Hotel Motel Tax Revenue according to legal advice/recommendation," and the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor. The transcript records the board's direction to proceed per legal guidance but does not include the legal opinion or the allocation formula the county plans to use.
Officials did not specify in the record how revenue will be divided among county funds, programs or local entities, nor did they cite a statute or written legal opinion at the meeting. Commissioners directed staff to implement the distribution based on the legal recommendation presented.
