Members of the public are invited to attend a multi-city Town Hall on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, during which mayors from six North Fulton communities will discuss their concerns about proposed allocation changes to Fulton County's Local Option Sales Tax (LOST). LOST is a 1% sales tax distributed between Fulton County and the cities in Fulton County. Currently, Fulton County is seeking to increase its share of LOST revenues from 5% to 35%, which is a 600 percent increase. This increase would have a major impact on all cities' annual budgets and on their millage rates (property tax rates).
The Mayors of the following North Fulton County cities are confirmed to participate in the Town Hall:
Kurt Wilson, Mayor of Roswell
Jim Gilvin, Mayor of Alpharetta
John Bradberry, Mayor of Johns Creek
Peyton Jamison, Mayor of Milton
Jim Still, Mayor of Mountain Park
Rusty Paul, Mayor of Sandy Springs
Moderating the panel will be Steve Gehlback, WSB-TV Channel 2 Reporter. All Fulton County Commissioners have been invited to participate in this important opportunity for dialogue with residents.
