Agenda

SECOND READ: Consideration of Emergency Ordinance of the Mayor and Council of the City of Dunwoody, Georgia, Under Section 1.03 of the Charter of the City of Dunwoody, Georgia, Declaring Local Emergency of the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 Global Pandemic

There is one item on the agenda and it is the second read of our emergency ordinance pointed at slowing the spread of the virus which was originally directed at public gathering spots of restaurants and bars.  On Friday evening we will ratify this with a second read and modify it to now include gyms and workout facilities.

Gyms or Sports Clubs offering the use of Exercise Equipment or Close Contact Sports are being asked to close by 9:00 p.m. Friday, March 20, 2020, until this emergency declaration is terminated.

Due to the joint use of the equipment and close proximity required to deliver both exercise facilities and close contact sports, the same being in contravention to the public health, safety, and welfare due to the nature of this emergency, Gyms or Sports Clubs offering the use of exercise equipment or close contact sports shall discontinue business until this emergency declaration is terminated.

The City has also taken it upon itself to close all City playgrounds, the skatepark, basketball courts, dog park and other places we have seen people congregating.   The trails will remain open but please don't congregate in groups.   Restrooms have also been shutdown so plan accordingly.

Finally, it appears that we will also have City Council Meetings next week on Monday & Wednesday at 6 pm.
