Fulton County commissioners vote to proceed on hotel-motel tax distribution after legal advice
Summary
Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously Feb. 10 to proceed with distributing hotel-motel tax revenue according to legal recommendations after a discussion with the interim treasurer, fiscal administrator and an outside CFO (Wessel & Co.).
Fulton County Commissioners on Feb. 10 voted unanimously to move forward with distributing the county's hotel-motel tax revenue according to legal guidance after a discussion with county fiscal staff and an outside consultant.
The board heard from Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Mike Lamb, chief financial officer with Wessel & Co. (participating via Zoom), during a discussion about how hotel-motel tax receipts should be allocated. No dollar amounts or a specific distribution formula were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to proceed "according to legal advice/recommendation," and the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor. The transcript records the motion as "All in favor." The meeting record does not specify the next procedural steps, timelines, or the contents of the legal advice cited.
The decision follows a review by county fiscal staff and outside counsel's recommendations; the commissioners did not adopt a detailed distribution plan during the session. The board took no separate vote specifying recipients or percentages before adjourning at 11:20 a.m.
