Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to proceed with distributing hotel‑motel tax revenue according to legal guidance after discussion with the interim treasurer and the county’s fiscal administrator; the motion passed unanimously.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to move forward with distribution of hotel‑motel tax revenue based on legal advice, after a discussion with Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop, Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed and Wessel & Co. CFO Mike Lamb (participating by Zoom). The motion to proceed was made by Commissioner Randy H. Bunch and passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
County officials said the meeting discussion focused on how the county should allocate and disburse revenue collected through the hotel‑motel tax and on ensuring the distribution follows applicable legal guidance. The minutes note that the county’s fiscal administrator and the interim treasurer participated in the discussion and that the county engaged an external CFO by videoconference for fiscal input. The minutes do not record further detail about the legal advice referenced or any specific allocation formula.
The commissioners present were Randy H. Bunch, Steven L. Wible and Hervey P. Hann. The board’s recorded action was to implement the distribution plan in line with legal recommendation; no additional direction or timeline for implementation was included in the minutes. The board took no roll‑call vote with a named tally beyond the notation “All in favor,” and the minutes show no recorded objections or abstentions.
Next steps were not specified in the minutes; the entry indicates staff and the treasurer will proceed in accordance with the legal advice the board accepted.
