DeKalb County School Board Member Anna Hill will present at tonight's Dunwoody Homeowners Association Meeting at 7:30 pm


The monthly DHA Board meeting is held on the first Sunday of the month, much of it is open to the public and it is sometimes live streamed here.  The agenda for tonight's meeting looks interesting as they are discussing three topics that have all crossed my desk with resident questions / concerns in the last week.

 The first is a discussion on a Multi-Use Trail and with at least eight path projects either under construction or under consideration within the city limits, I am not sure of the discussion topic but will list some documents or links below.  The Winters Chapel path is the one under current construction and guessing this discussion will be about that specific topic and resident impacts.

The second topic is a discussion on an update to the PDK Master Plan and residents are concerned of greater aircraft noise.  Documents are below and I offered to request that the PDK Staff & related County Officials like DeKalb Commissioner Robert Patrick, give a presentation on the proposed master plan update and how it would effect Dunwoody long term.  Maybe that conversation is happening at the DHA Meeting?  If not, City Council is happy to raise too.

The final topic of discussion is an update from our DeKalb County School Board Member, Ms. Anna Hill whom I am guessing is on the agenda to explain the DeKalb Board of Education’s recent decision to remove Superintendent Watson-Harris.  A few links below but I couldn't find any public comments from Ms. Hill to share.

PS: have you paid your DHA dues for 2022 as they do so much for our community (independent representation, 4th of July parade, Food Truck Thursday's, Light up Dunwoody, Farmers Market, election forums, etc...)
