Dunwoody comes to an agreement with the DeKalb P.D. and looks to sign off on Large City Contractors.

Thursday Night is a Special Meeting of the Dunwoody City Council to conduct hearings on Zoning and Sign ordinances but besides those items the agenda is packed with a number of noteworthy action items.

It looks as if we have come to final contract terms with our three vendors but City Hall forgot to attach the documentation on the public works contract. We will be hearing an expert presentation on sexually oriented businesses and voting on the proposed ordinance. It also looks as if we have come to an agreement with DeKalb County for an IGA on extended police services which will be costing us $430,000.00 per month until at least March 31st. I have placed on the agenda a resolution for the city to form a Sustainability Commission to explore becoming a certified ARC Green Community and with a little oversight we should be able to meet the requirements for basic certification within a year.

All of the relevant documents that I had available are either linked below or found here. If you are able to make it to tonight's meeting and we haven't had the pleasure of meeting, please come up and introduce yourself to me either before or after the meeting. Thanks, John
