The audio from the meetings are rather poor but it works if you turn your volume way up.
Recap - everything officially presented (Ashford Dunwoody Hotel items) were passed but the discussion items are telling as it gives the city staff an idea on where the council is leaning for approval items at the next meeting. General Emergency Notification Sirens look to be going nowhere soon with only me and Councilman Shortal in strong support but lightning detection for large open areas (like used at Murphy Candler) has full council approval and will be researched by staff. The Tree Atlanta item looks promising for passage but a discussion on fruit trees not being a part of the project at all for planting in our parks where we already have an orchard doesn't make sense to me. Design number 2 on the Mt. Vernon Vermack intersection was selected. The cost of GIS maps are going up soon. Building construction standards for four story buildings are being proposed to be toughened. Public Safety Video Surveillance will be passed, the election IGA has more questions than answers and finally Alcohol in the parks will pass.

Dunwoody Independence Day Parade - Kudos to the DHA !
Kudo's to the Dunwoody Homeowners Association for holding their annual 4th of July Parade on the 4th of July - I am told the gutsy call worked out wonderfully. I hope you were able to attend and in case you were not, please feel free to check out some wonderful photos on the DHA Facebook site - click here.
I'm sorry to say that I missed the parade but hope to be in attendance next year. I was in Washington DC for a work assignment followed by a week of vacation with the family back to Chicago to visit Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. Needless to say based on the lack of posts that I stepped away from all Dunwoody communication while gone therefore if you were trying to reach me, I will attempt to respond ASAP. Thanks, John
