Fulton County commissioners authorize moving forward on hotel‑motel tax distribution based on legal advice
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10, 2026, to proceed with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue in line with legal guidance after a discussion with the interim treasurer and county fiscal staff. The minutes record the motion as approved 'All in favor.'
Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Randy H. Bunch on Feb. 10 moved the board to proceed with distribution of hotel‑motel tax revenue according to legal advice, and the motion was approved by voice vote.
The motion followed a discussion with Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Chief Financial Officer Mike Lamb (participating by video) about how the county should handle distribution. The minutes note the discussion but do not record a distribution formula or quote the legal recommendation discussed.
Commissioner Bunch made the motion to move forward; the minutes record the outcome as 'All in favor.' The record does not detail the timetable for implementation or the legal opinion itself, so specific allocation amounts or recipients were not established in the meeting minutes.
County staff and the treasurer will therefore proceed with distribution steps consistent with counsel’s recommendation and with subsequent public reporting to the board as required, the minutes indicate. No formal vote count or written legal opinion is appended to the minutes.
