Emergency Medical Services & Sanitation provided by DeKalb County in Dunwoody under a Service Delivery Stategy @ItsInDeKalb @DCFRpubaffairs @CommissPatrick @tedterry1

Promises Made

On Facebook, there is a thread of a scary medical situation where there was a delay in medical and ambulance services (luckily the child will be OK) and there are numerous comments as to needed service improvements.  The City will be making inquiries to the County for specifics from the 911 data, DeKalb Fire Rescue data and also from AMR, the ambulance service contracted with the County.  The initial fire truck should be providing immediate advanced medical attention enough to stabilize the injured and the ambulance then transports you to the hospital.  When a loved one is in pain, every minute counts!

Questions were raised in the Facebook thread if the City Council was aware of issues and we keenly are, we even questioned a DeKalb County representative who presented to the City Council just last week, asking him to bring the issue back to the CEO as the citizens of the county are not adequately being served. It is my hope that the DeKalb CEO and Board of Commissioners improves the services county wide on this topic as it is becoming life and death situation.  Below is my comment on the Facebook thread as well as the video from the last meeting.

As Mayor Lynn Deutsch stated, EMS (and Sanitation) are County Services that are constantly on the mind of the Dunwoody City Council. If DeKalb is not providing adequate services on Sanitation, we have the power to either start providing our own services (like Chamblee) or contract out to a private contractor but until then we hope that DeKalb Sanitation improves the services to meet expectations. Unlike Sanitation, we can not pull away from DeKalb County for EMS services and are at the mercy of DeKalb County to step up with adequate coverage. Dunwoody could "supplement" coverage with our own via a special service tax district but DeKalb would scale back services even more which would then double tax Dunwoody citizens. This is a possibility moving forward but we expect DeKalb County to modify the upcoming County budget or modify the SPLOST funding to improve this necessary service.

DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond signed an MOU with Mayor Shortal improving the EMS services but there needs to be adequate funding and staffing levels as well as contractual compliance by the sub-contractor (AMR) to make the system work.

At our last City Council meeting, there was a DeKalb representative there to chat about our Service Delivery Agreement, and if you watch the meeting video at the 1-hour, 11-minute start point you can hear me question EMS services and the lack of DeKalb County funding/staffing to properly serve the community.

Here is the most recent Service Delivery Strategy which identified DeKalb for EMS & Sanitation.

Agenda

Public Hearing for Establishing 2022 Millage Rate

Presentation Link  

Friday morning is the first of three public hearings that the City is holding to discuss a possible city tax rate increase that would fund inflationary pressures for operational expenses, and as part of those inflationary preasures I am lobbying my fellow council members for a mid-year pay raise for our police department.  Our City millage (Tax) rate has not changed in 13 years and we are currently burning reserves as we have done in other lean years but now the financial experts are estimating we can't do that very much longer and with higher operational costs facing the city, I believe it would be prudent to think about such a raise in 2023.

As I discussed last Tuesday on my blog, our home values are locked for City Tax rates (the Schools are not) therefore with no raise of the actual millage (tax) rate, my city taxes have been the same since 2009.  My total DeKalb County Tax bill is $4,715 and of that I only pay $218 for general City Operations.  Dunwoody has the lowest tax rate in the County because we have so many businesses that pay a large share of our taxes, we are able to keep residential taxes low.   My bill is similar to the home with the $400,000 value listed below therefore if we decided to raise the tax rate from 2.74 mills to the 3.04 mill cap, my expected tax rate might go up $45 in 2023 for City Operational Services.

This possible raising of the millage tax rate would bring in about One Million Dollars and I believe that would be allocated very quickly for Public Safety and other operational needs.  Public Safety is Council's highest responsibility and this possible tax increase would go a long way to funding these increases.

Last year, we raised police pay and restructured the entire pay chart as requested by DPD Management but yet the cities all around us doubled our proposed salary increases therefore we actually lost ground on the salary comparisons between cities but we provide an excellent compensation package over all.  I recently saw Chief Billy Grogan on TV talking about officer pay and the many reasons that officers leave law enforcement. In discussions with Mayor Deutsch, I am looking forward to moving forward with additional funding for our officers.    Thanks,   John

Press Release - The Dunwoody City Council is considering an increase to the city’s General Fund millage rate, matching the cap instituted by the city’s founders of 3.040 mills. This would result in an increase of $33 to $69 a year for a typical Dunwoody home.

“We have been watching closely the relationship between revenue sources and service expectations of residents and businesses,” said Dunwoody City Council Member John Heneghan. “We have found that the revenue sources proposed at the start of incorporation in 2008 do not match the current operational levels. We’re eager to hear the community’s input on funding options.”

The base service level for the city created in 2008 was based on a much lower level than expected today. For example, the parks budget proposed at incorporation would be about $450,000 today if indexed for inflation. Compare that to current operations and programming costs, which run about $3 million. For public safety, the current number of authorized police officers is almost triple what was recommended in 2008.

Dunwoody has never raised the millage rate before. As a result, revenue from residential property taxes has remained relatively flat, going from $2.88 million in 2008 to an estimated $2.94 million today. The city has one of the lowest millage rates (2.740 mills) in the area for cities that levy a tax. In addition, all homestead properties have a 1.000 mill exemption, effectively making the rate 1.740 mills. On top of that, all homestead properties in the area are eligible to have their property assessments frozen from any increase in city taxes.

A typical Dunwoody home assessed today at $500,000 does not pay city taxes on the full amount, which would equal $321. Instead, when the average freeze value is taken into account, that same house is taxed as if it is assessed at $375,000, and the city taxes drop to $234. Raising the millage rate to the cap of 3.040 mills would be an additional $42 a year. Note that the freeze does not include school taxes.

City Council passed the 2022 Budget with a known structural deficit in the General Fund. Starting with the onset of COVID, the city proactively dropped revenue and proposed using fund balance to maintain operations. But in neither year (2020 nor 2021) did the city use any fund balance, so it grew.

When this year’s mid-year revenue numbers were reviewed, the deficit shrank to $2 million from the previous projection of $3.9 million. This millage increase would change that structural deficit to approximately $1 million.

A city can have a high fund balance and still have a structural deficit. In those cases, fund balance is generally used to keep operations at the same level. One-time costs, such as the contributions to the Arts and Nature Center, are not considered ongoing costs and do not count against the structural deficit.

Staff has recommended advertising the millage rate for 2022 at 3.040. Dunwoody’s Mayor and City Council invite the public to provide input during three public hearings on the millage rate at Dunwoody City Hall:• Friday, June 17 at 8 a.m. • Monday, July 11 at 8 a.m. • Monday, July 11 at 6 p.m. – this public hearing will be followed by a vote by Council

Raising the millage rate to 3.040 would generate approximately $1 million of new revenue. Staff recommends that $250,000 of this increase be earmarked for pay adjustments for staff, including police, in the third or fourth quarters to continue being competitive with neighboring jurisdictions. The rest of the increase is recommended to be used to shore up the structural deficit. All combined, these actions should reduce the structural deficit to approximately $1 million. If approved this increase would appear on the tax bills sent out this fall. The city’s tax share of most tax bills represents only 5% of the overall total bill.

A month of Dunwoody Police Activity as reported in the City Manager's June report


At this evenings Dunwoody City Council Meeting, there was a glitch where the City Manager Monthly Report slated on the agenda for discussion, was missing from the City Council Packet therefore Mr. Eric Linton provided it to Council just before the meeting and I am sharing it here. To me the Police report is always the most interesting as well as troubling as it shows a side of humanity that most would not want to believe happens here in Dunwoody.   Let me tell you now that Dunwoody is not Maybeery.

Kudos to our brave Dunwoody Police Officers, as they risk getting shot at, saving those who have overdosed, dealt with suicides, double homicides, armed robberies, large drug seizures, heart attacks, and many more unsettling aspects of society.

Here is the full City Manager report for your reading pleasure and based on police committee meetings and tonight's City Council meeting that I attended, I have advocated for mid-year police raises that will assist with pay inequities based on our neighboring cities and will hopefully assist those officers that might want to jump ship for greener pastures, will now stay here in Dunwoody.

Update on Edge City 2.0 Project

The City of Dunwoody would like to develop a new vision for the future redevelopment of the Perimeter Dunwoody market that is shared by elected officials, the DeKalb board of the Perimeter CID, major property owners, governmental partners, and community stakeholders.

The City of Dunwoody and ARC anticipate the following outcomes from the study to be:

  •  Provide an updated vision that reflects current conditions and 20-year build out.
  •  Develop transportation investments that provide for safe movement of pedestrians, bicycles, and transit in, through and around the Perimeter LCI area.
  •  Develop case studies of comparable edge cities that provide real world examples of what the district could look like under chosen growth scenario.
  •  Develop a 3D GIS model of the growth scenario that is compatible with the City of Dunwoody’s ESRI ArcGIS based System, and can be revised by city staff.
  •  Develop a Fiscal Impact Model for the city, county and school system that can be adjusted in future years and future economic conditions.

City of Dunwoody moves forward with proposed Tree Protection Ordinance.

Full Proposed Tree Protection Ordinance

At the last City Council meeting, I raised concerns regarding the proposed Tree Protection Ordinance as I wasn't sure the specific problem we were trying to fix.  I asked for removal of Pine tree regulations and to add protections from clearing prior to construction in order to put more restrictions on developers vs individual homeowners, but those changes were not accepted by staff.   I thought the determination of compliance by the general homeowner was too difficult and that the administrative burden & financial cost to properly prepare for the permit was greater than the benefit to the community as I believe this ordinance impacts those who try to comply more than those who remove trees and risk being cited.  Based on what I am reading, I am not in favor of the ordinance as I believe it is an overstep that fixes a narrow issue with a broad brushstroke.

In order to better understand the proposal, I measured several trees on my property in order to determine their status.  I have a very large pine tree that measured 54 inches around, divided by 3.14 comes to a DBH of 17.19 therefore as it is under 20 there is no permit needed.  I can remove that one tree at anytime without coming to the city and I am guessing a great many pines are not subject to the ordinance as long as you only remove six.

I have two large oak trees in the front of my yard that far exceed the DBH of 24 therefore they are specimen trees and would be immediately subject to the ordinance.

I have several beautifully large magnolia trees that have three separate trunks and after researching I still have no clue if they are hardwood / softwood or understory?  Are they a specimen tree or not?  Am I subject to a permit?

I have read both pro and con comments, but a resident raised a concern that he wanted to remove a few trees to put up solar panels (in order to be Green) but that he might be required to replace the trees, the ordinance does not address this issue. 

The proposed implementation date was changed to January 1, 2023 in order to educate the community and the tree service industry therefore there is no hurry to pass this ordinance and because of that I will be asking for a deferral until the July meeting to allow this proposal to be fully vetted by the community and then modified by Council if needed.
