Fulton County commissioners approve distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue per legal recommendation
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to distribute hotel-motel tax revenue according to legal advice after a presentation by the interim treasurer and outside fiscal counsel.
Chairman Randy H. Bunch presided over a Feb. 10 meeting of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners at which the board voted to distribute hotel-motel tax revenue in line with legal counsel's recommendation.
The action followed a discussion that included Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Mike Lamb, chief financial officer at Wessel & Co. (joining by Zoom). The presenters reviewed options for allocating the revenue and noted legal constraints that the commissioners said would guide how funds are apportioned.
The vote was formalized when Chairman Bunch moved to proceed "according to legal advice/recommendation." Commissioners Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann voted in favor; the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not record specific allocation amounts at the meeting; commissioners indicated the distribution would follow the legal interpretation presented by treasurer and counsel. The discussion and motion covered both the general approach to distribution and the county's next administrative steps to implement that approach.
The board's next procedural step will be to implement the distribution per counsel and administrative direction; no further timeline for specific disbursements was provided at the meeting.
