The Dunwoody City Council held back to back meetings to formalize much of what have been covered by the Council over the last several months. Nothing controversial happened in the first meeting but the second meeting held several items of interest.
The midnight hour had every major TV news station in the room for the ribbon cutting of the City.
Denny Shortal was nominated by Ken Wright to be the Mayor Pro Tempore to act in his place when the Mayor is absent. Congrats Denny !!

I'm having problems listening to the audio, but I have to agree that having Dunwoody operate and maintain the parks is in our best interests. I can just imagine the state of our parks if left to the devices of Dekalb County at this point.
What are the council's feelings, if any, on the skate park? Is it still losing money as Dekalb County claims? While I have never had a problem with the skate area, it seems never to have "taken off" and the few times I was at Brook Run this summer, there were few people using the park. Does its cost justify its existence? Or maybe it should just be an area that is accessible in the park without a charge?
