Special Called Agenda 5 pm - City Site Agenda

There is a Special Called 5 pm meeting where I am guessing we go into Executive Session to finalize the one item on the agenda and then we return to the main room to vote on what looks to be a settlement agreement.  Guessing the documentation is held confidential until which time we come out to vote on the matter and after it is added to the public agenda for vote, the matter can be shared as a public document.  Guessing that is the reason the agenda item is not attached to the meeting agenda yet.

Discussion of Capital Needs and Potential G.O. Bond Call

• Retreat Update from March discussions.
  

I hope everyone had a relaxing Spring break from school & enjoyed the holidays with family whereby you are now ready to return to the normalcy of April & May, with everything that it brings (Lemonade Days, Food Trucks, better weather & end of the school year). My family drove to Chicago to see our parents who are getting up in age therefore my city blogging / informational duties fell behind a bit.

On March 22 & 23, the City Council met with representatives of Canton, GA and then regrouped in Dahlonega, GA for internal discussions on numerous topics. Here are the official minutes from the retreat that will be approved Monday and let me point out that the last several pages of that document outline the action items for staff & council.  All of the documents used in the retreat are listed below but let me highlight a few.  

The Dunwoody's Own Direction document starts us off with our goals from the Comprehensive Plan and how we have been working towards them this year vs last years accomplishments.  We discussed changing city demographics, improved diversity opportunities, our work on Dunwoody Village improvements, and Pedestrian Safety.

We discussed Public Safety with Chief Grogan, the push for EMS changes and police staffing needs that we believe will be detailed in the upcoming Berry-Dunn Report.  

We discussed Communications, specifically improved public engagement & feedback on citizen Code Enforcement & See Click Fix issues and then we discussed how to improve City Contracting of large public works projects for better results.  

The 15 million dollars of Federal Funding / American Rescue Plan was discussed, we went over the expenditures.  Council requested assurances that expenditures will be made within the Federal timelines and on appropriate allowed subjects.

Bond Referendum - The last big item we discussed was the funding of Capital Projects and whether a Bond referendum is appropriate for this coming November.  A citizen committee was convened to discuss this topic and made a list, the City Council may finalize the list of desires and call the question to hold a referendum, but it is the citizens who will need to approve or deny the call to raise taxes for capital improvements.  The capital discussions have routinely been around the improvement of Parks, Transportation / Street Intersections, and multi-use Paths.  

I am against the City's construction of 12 ft wide concrete paths in front of single family homes and I prefer three referendum questions so that citizens (like me) could vote for some projects and possibly against others but it appears that may not be the plan?  Ideas on path locations are not set in stone and at the retreat some path ideas being pushed previously were removed (probably because of the backlash) and new ones were being added without vetting to to public nor having any engineering designs to really discuss the proposals.  The Chesnut community has been vocal for needed improvements on North Peachtree between Dunwoody Village Apartments and Peachtree / Brook Run, therefore this idea was just added for a new trail and as much as I want improved infrastructure for safety, I still believe a 12 ft concrete path is overkill.   The other new addition calls out Dunwoody Village path improvements but I believe it is really a 12 ft concrete trail along Chamblee Dunwoody from Womack to the new Austin Park.  Neither of these projects have been engineered, vetted, or even discussed with the nearby residents. 

I raised concerns on the one question idea, I raised the fact that we just received 7 million dollars from the sale of land on Shallowford that was originally intended for parks; therefore the City should plan for spending that money prior asking the citizens for more.  Finally I still have long term budgetary concerns based on the rising cost of government operations (Public Safety in particular) and general maintenance vs the possibility of an unstable business tax base when we have several large office buildings vacant.   The last item on Monday nights agenda will initiate a discussion for a $55 million bond referendum whereby a single question will be brought in front of the citizens.

Dunwoody's St. Barnabas Anglican Church at North Peachtree & Peeler looks to expand for growth.

Full application package - neighborhood meeting should be announced soon by the developer.

The application package states ...

St Barnabas Anglican Church has experienced steady growth over the last several years. In 2005 we completed a new sanctuary. Unfortunately, we could not afford to build the necessary supporting classrooms and offices. With our growth over the last several years, it is now time to address these needs for our parishioners.

We are applying for the SLUP to allow us to construct approximately 4,885 square feet of classrooms, office space and support space. Though not contemplated to be done in the first phase, we are planning for future parking lot and inter-parcel connections.

Rules and Procedures For City Council Meetings: Modifying the Order of City Council agenda items to move Public Comment to the beginning. (John Heneghan)

In a representative government trying to figure out what the citizens want, allowing and listening to what they have to say is an important concept of proper govenence, therefore the City of Dunwoody has always allowed public comment near the begining of our City Council meetings.  After several instances whereby the citizen public comment period was delayed for well over an hour because of various proclamations, reports and presentations; I am proposing that public comment be moved in front of these items.

Knowing that we sometimes have new Dunwoody Police Officers being swarn in and police officers recieving recognition, I am also proposing that because police shift change is at 6 pm (meeting start time) and that officers want to be in attendance to support their fellow officers, I have also suggested an item to make this happen so that our dedicated police force can either get out on the streets or go home to their families ASAP.   My proposal is a modest one whereby most nights like this Monday, public comment will be towards the very begining of the meeting becuse there are no proclamations, reports or presentations, but it corrects the issue in such a way that so that everyone no matter what is on the agenda can count on open public comment at the start of the meeting in a uniform and consistant manner.  John

Dunwoody City Council planning retreat scheduled for Thursday & Friday followed by regular meeting on Monday Feb 11th.

The Dunwoody City Council will be holding a number of meetings the next few days as it is time for our annual planning "retreat".  I am guessing Thursday's session will be a recap of the year's accomplishments and setting goals / priorities for the future.  On Friday we will also be holding a special meeting of our Facilities Authority (comprised of City Council Members) to listen to a presentation by Bob Kinsey, C.E.O., Spruill Center for the Arts requesting a long term lease of the current space at the Dunwoody Library complex for possible expansion. This meeting will be followed by a full second day of retreat discussions.

Tomorrow morning I am guessing myself and a few other Council members will be attending the State EMS Council meeting to learn about Emergency Medical Service improvements needed within the city.

Thursday Night the Zoning Board of Appeals is hearing a case to add three new restaurants on Crown Point Parkway, near the Embassy Suites Hotel.

Friday night I will be attending a benefit for Pebble Tossers, Sunday I will be celebrating Congregation Ariel’s 25th Anniversary and on Monday we have our regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
