Award of a Contract to KCI Technologies to Provide Preliminary Design for the Chamblee Dunwoody-Village Crossroads Project

There were several special called meetings that took place in June while I was away on vacation that were called to have preliminary hearings on the setting the Millage Tax Rate for the City.   The tax rate is not changing as we are already at the maximum allowed per the charter but there was a 3% increase in the valuations therefore we need to advertise this as a tax increase.  Reminder that homeowners with an Homestead exemption and freeze in place, will not see a City of Dunwoody millage tax increase over last year.  Besides the millage rate item, the first special called meeting the evening of June 26th, had a few other items on the agenda I wanted to recognize.
