Fulton County, Chamber to set subcommittee and annual reporting for Hotel‑Motel tax distribution
Summary
At the March 17 meeting commissioners and the Chamber of Commerce agreed a Chamber subcommittee will draft recommendations for distributing Hotel‑Motel tax revenues after the county receives funds (60‑day processing window); the Chamber must submit an annual report on expenditures and funds will be used to promote tourism.
Commissioners met with the Chamber of Commerce Board to discuss how Fulton County will distribute Hotel‑Motel Tax revenues. The board agreed that a Chamber subcommittee will meet to formulate recommendations on fund distribution once the county receives revenues; the minutes note a 60‑day processing period following receipt at the county level.
Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop attended the discussion. The commissioners adopted a requirement that the Chamber submit an annual report documenting how the Hotel‑Motel Tax funds were spent; the minutes say the funds are to be used to promote tourism.
No dollar amounts, allocation percentages, or a schedule for the subcommittee’s recommendations were included in the minutes. The minutes record the matter as a discussion with procedural direction to the Chamber rather than a finalized funding formula, and no formal vote on a distribution formula was recorded.
