Fulton County commissioners voted Feb. 10 to move forward with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue following legal advice, the board minutes show.
Commissioner Randy H. Bunch made the motion to proceed "according to legal advice/recommendation," and the motion was adopted with "All in favor." Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Mike Lamb, chief financial officer with Wessel & Co. (participating by Zoom), participated in the discussion about how the revenue should be distributed.
The minutes record the discussion but do not include specific allocation amounts or a timetable for distribution. The board did not record any amendment or conditional language; the action as recorded directs staff to implement distribution consistent with the legal recommendation presented at the meeting.
The decision follows an exchange with county finance staff and external counsel/advisers by Zoom; the record does not identify the specific statute or ordinance cited in the legal advice. The commissioners took no additional recorded votes or amendments on allocation at the session.
The board adjourned at 11:20 a.m.; the minutes do not list a next meeting agenda item that would revisit the hotel‑motel tax distribution.
