Good evening my fellow Dunwoody citizens. The following are some items of interest …
1. Paving … Repaving the south bound lane of Chamblee Dunwoody Rd that was the subject of poor compaction around the installed new water line from Manjet Way to Cambridge is complete except for stripping. FYI, on asphalt paving it takes about 30 days for it to “cure” before you can paint strip the road. As you all know that project was on last years paving plan. Chamblee Dunwoody Rd from Cambridge south passed Vermack, etc. is on this years paving contract and is a different contractor and will he paved later this month … that is if it ever stops raining for a few days. As a FYI, you can’t pave a road in the rain, when the pavement is wet or when there is a threat of rain. Concerning the threat of rain … if you ever spray the road with the hot liquid asphalt - which is the adhesive for the asphalt topping - and it rains prior to getting the asphalt topping in place you will have a mess of large proportion.
2. More Paving … The paving on N Peachtree Rd is mostly complete. The paving on Ashford Dunwoody Rd is moving along slowly because of the weather. Over the last three weeks we have only be able to pave six nights due to rain. As you know we are doing this paving at night due to the high traffic volume on this road during the day. The paving is mostly complete from Perimeter Center East/West southbound and the milling and a lot of the deep patching is completed north bound to Mt Vernon Rd. We need about 6 - 7 more good weather days to finish this project.
3. Glass Recycling … As of JUL 17 DC is no longer accepting glass items in our recycle bins. As I understand it was a lack of economical marketability. As an alternative the DC Sanitation has put glass recycling bins around the County. Dunwoody has three locations for you to continue to deposit your glass recyclable items. These locations are … Brook Run Park, DC Fire Station # 12 on Roberts Dr and the Dunwoody Library. This approach will make the recyclable glass items a more marketable and positive cash flow resource for the recycler.

4. Home Owners Association and Swim and Tennis Club Leadership Town Hall Meeting with the Mayor (thats me). … There will be two of these meetings. The first will take place on AUG 24 from 6 - 8 PM at the Congregation Ariel Synagogue located at 5227 Tilly Mill Rd and the second meeting will take place on SEP 30 from 9:30 - 11:30 AM at Dunwoody United Methodist Church at 1548 Mt Vernon Rd. Both of these meeting will be an open forum to discuss items of interest to our HOAs and Swim and Tennis Club leadership. If the head of the organization is unable to attend either session we ask they send their assistant or a representative. To sign up email Bob Mullen at Bob.Mullen@DunwoodyGa.gov.
5. Honored Guest at the Next Two City Council Meetings ... Next Monday, AUG 14 at 6 PM we will honor Principal Tom McFerrin of DHS with a Proclamation from the City. There are many adjectives to describe Tom … outstanding, superb leadership, etc. … just to name a few for the enhancement he has brought to DHS and thus our entire city. I know we will have a large crowd of thankful students, parents and other citizens present to show Tom our heartfelt thanks! He is a great American! On Monday AUG 28 at 6 PM we will have the honor of hosting The Honorable Karen Handel, our newly elected U S Representative from our 6th District, at our City Council meeting. Karen is a very personable person so lets all show up to give her a warm and respectful Dunwoody welcome.
6. City Boards and Committee Meeting … We have instituted a once a year meeting for all members on our City Boards and Committees to brief them on the latest procedures as well as rules and regulations that are applicable. The next meeting will be on AUG 24 at 6 PM at the City Hall in the City Council Chambers. If you didn’t make the first meeting I ask everyone to make max effort to attend this meeting. The meeting will last approx. 1 - 1.5 hours.
7. School is Back in Session … Please obey the speed limits and drive extra carefully … those are our children!
8. Request … We all move to Dunwoody because it is a special place. Lets help keep it that way by waiting to take our yard waste and trash out to the curb until the night before our trash pickup and by bringing our containers back off the street the night of our trash pick up … it is the neighborly thing to do!
9. New City Hall … Remodeling of our new city hall building is on schedule.
10. Other Events … Butterfly Festival at DNC AUG 19 from 10 AM - 4 PM. Advance sign up at … http://dunwoodynature.org/learn/annual-events/butterfly/. Warning this popular event sells out as it is fun for the whole family. Food Truck Thursday are on going at Brook Run Park starting at 5 PM every Thursday.
11. That is all for this evening. Please pass this on to your friends, neighbors and members of your HOA. If anyone wants to be added to my email list just let me know. Thanks for all each of you do to make us a city with a family atmosphere. Let us all work to create the mutual respect that we all desire!
See you around town! Let Us Continue to Build Our City Together!
Denny Shortal
Mayor of Dunwoody
