Fulton County commissioners vote to move forward on hotel-motel tax distribution per legal advice
Summary
After discussion with county fiscal staff and an external CFO, Fulton County commissioners voted unanimously to proceed with distribution of hotel-motel tax revenue in line with legal guidance; the board did not set specific recipient amounts at the meeting.
Fulton County commissioners voted Tuesday to proceed with distributing hotel-motel tax revenue according to legal advice after a discussion with county fiscal staff and an outside CFO.
Interim County Treasurer Amy Bishop and Fiscal Administrator Sue Reed reviewed options with Mike Lamb of Wessel & Co., who participated via Zoom. Commissioners asked for and received legal guidance as part of the discussion; Commissioner Randy H. Bunch moved to move forward with distribution "according to legal advice/recommendation," and the motion passed with all in favor.
The board did not specify new recipient amounts or a timetable for disbursement during the meeting. The vote authorizes county staff to implement the distribution approach recommended by legal counsel and the county finance team. Commissioners said they would follow up at a later meeting with details and implementation steps once the legal recommendation is formalized.
The action was recorded as a formal motion and passed unanimously; no dissent or roll-call objections were recorded at the meeting.
