First Read: Review and Consideration of a Text Amendment to Update the Clean Indoor Air Regulations, Chapter 24

I am not a smoker but I have attended "late night business meetings" in an establishment that focused on Bourbon and Cigars. The place of business I visited had a negative pressure air filtration system whereby my clothes didn't smell of smoke when I left.  I believe this proposed ordinance brought to us from the American Heart Association and placed on the agenda by staff or council is an overstep of regulations and I am unsure what we are fixing.  I would like to know the complete impact of the proposal prior to voting on it especially when it may limit a niche business model that could bring a successful establishment to our city.  I understand the intent of protecting all employees from second-hand smoke but when the establishment (or private club) can protect employees an exception needs to be explored.  I will be asking staff to review Gwinnett, Houston and other jurisdictions looking for best practices allowing exceptions.  A cigar bar exception could include the following ...

“Cigar Bar means an establishment operated by a holder of an On Premise Beer and Wine
Permit or other Alcohol Beverage Licensing Permit that:
1. Does not sell food;
2. In addition to selling beer and wine, annually receives 15 percent or more of
its gross revenue from the sale of cigars, and tobacco-related products, except from the sale of
cigarettes. A cigar bar shall not discount alcohol if sold in combination with
cigars or other tobacco products and tobacco-related products;
3. Has a walk-in humidor on the premises;
4. Has a high capacity, negative pressure air cleaning ventilation system, located in such a manner to control second hand smoke exposure to non-smokers.
5. Only permits the smoking of cigars, and does not permit the smoking of cigarettes; and
6. Does not include any establishment which is primarily a bar or restaurant and
which undertakes to make retail offerings of tobacco products as a means of
circumventing the purposes of this article.”

Contract with AECOM for North Shallowford Road Path Project Concept Design

Contract with Practical Design Partners, LLC for Winters Chapel Path Phase 2 Design

On November 7th, the Citizens of Dunwoody voted down a bond referendum for Parks & Paths development and on November 8th an RFP was released for the Winters Chapel Path design which mandates that the path will be 12 feet wide, even in front of the single family residential properties.  This item is now on the agenda for discussion.

Description: Winter Chapel Road Path Phase II. The project consists of a 12-foot shared-use path (SUP) along the west side only of Winters Chapel Road between Charmant Place and Peeler Road in the cities of Dunwoody and Peachtree Corners. In addition to the shared-use path, the project will add lighting and street trees along the corridor. The project connects residential areas on the north end of the project to a MARTA bus route and commercial node at the south end of the project.

Discussion of the Athletic Association Manual 

The proposed Athletic Association Manual is being presented to the full City Council (and the public) for the first time on Tuesday for discussion purposes only. I was not on the developing committee, therefore I will need to thoroughly review the pros and cons of the proposed changes and see what benefits it will bring.  As a City we need to review the costs related to using our park facilities, set up a sinking fund to slowly save for the replacement of the turf fields, the financial charges to the organizations using the facilities, the availability of the facilities to organizations or groups that are not part of a use agreement (like Dunwoody High School teams), the allowance of rentals to outside organizations by the various Athletic Associations, the historical agreements that may have been in place for years and how these proposed changes will affect the established users.  One of the possible changes being proposed is allowing the Baseball Fields and Soccer Fields to a wider more diverse group of users who are not currently using the fields.  At the moment those uses are not organized, as the open time on some of the fields does not envision a wider use than what is already there.

Council has received a number of inquiries from Dunwoody Senior Baseball (and the residents who participate in this activity) asking for clarification of the modifications and opposing any change in the current financial agreement between that organization and the city, therefore I am guessing at the Tuesday meeting we will be hearing from that organization and possibly others.

In Feb of 2020, the internal auditor for the City provided a review of the Dunwoody Senior Baseball program which I believe is driving some of these proposed changes especially as it relates to the current use agreement.

She was divorced in 1971, and married Ron “Windy” Wingate in November 1972. She was married to Windy (46 years) until his passing in November 2018. She is a fantastic Gamma to son Walter’s only child Courtney, and mother-in-law to Cheryl; and
