Approve Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Professional Service Contract With The Following Firm For The Following Services (RFP 11-10) Government Services) – Public Works and Parks & Recreation: Lowe Engineers   I have a request in for all city contracts over $50,000 to be posted to the web.

Approval of Contract for Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant.

FIRST READ and PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance to Amend the 2011 Operating and Capital Budgets.

$3.7 million in surplus host funds divvied up as follows, $1.5 Million to DPD Vehicle Replacement Fund (savings for future expense down the road several years), $1.1 Million to Fund Transportation Enhancement Grant for Dunwoody Village Pkwy (savings for future expense), additional $600 K on top of the 2012 budget shown below for Paving, additional $500 K on top of the 2012 budget shown below for Sidewalks.

Resolution to Amend City of Dunwoody Purchasing Policy to Add Appraisal Requirement for Real Estate Acquisition.  I have a request in to modify policy that all contracts over $50,000 be posted to the web for the life of the contract and then I want to review the amount of changes allowed in these contracts as I believe the current verbiage is too flexible.

Discussion of Dunwoody Village Ice Skating Attraction.(Told it is artificial ice?)

Dormtainment compares Dunwoody to Heaven in Fox5 interview?

" I thought it would be funny to make a hardcore [rap] song about how friendly Dunwoody is."

Video - Fox5

I believe almost everyone in town has seen the video "Straight Outta Dunwoody" and since the AJC wrote two articles on it, and Fox5 did a nice interview piece on the Dunwoody entertainment group; I figured I would share the interview with everyone, as well as post the original music video below for the five or six people who haven't yet seen it.  

Will we be seeing these gents at the Dunwoody Music Fest in a couple of weeks or maybe they will be the opening act for Ryan Seacrest who, if a few Dunwoody HS Seniors have their way, will be the Master of Ceremonies for the 2012 HS Graduation.

As a side note, according to Steve Barton, it appears that "Straight Outta Dunwoody" is not the first rap song featuring this fine town.  The Dunwoody rap by PT (aka Pretty Tony or Anthony Bush) was used several years back when Dunwoody High School was a State Basketball Powerhouse.

Please Review the Law - Pedestrians in the Cross-Walk

Dunwoody Police have issued at least one citation in the last week or so to a driver who failed to properly yield to a pedestrian.  I saw this item today on the Dunwoody School Daze blog and thought it was a good reminder for everyone.

Understanding Dunwoody Park Bonds by Sen. Dan Weber

 

PowerPoint Presentation

I had the pleasure of leaving town this weekend to visit some family in friends in Chicago but in doing so I missed the CV Classic and Fall Festival at Peachtree Middle School, the monthly DHA meeting, the first Mayoral Forum and the first 2 of 14 public presentations being made by Dan Weber on understanding the Dunwoody Parks Bond Referendum coming up in November.

I'm sure the local press were covering these various events and that you will be reading more about them in coming days but figured I would share this PowerPoint I received regarding the proposed bonds.  Please review the slides and attend one of the future presentations being offered as listed below.
