18 min introductory zoning meeting presented by Dunwoody Patch

The Dunwoody Patch recorded the beginning of the meeting and wrote a nice recap of the comments made by the 25 citizens in the room.

I highly recommend that you click the link above to watch the video and please feel free to comment there as to your thoughts on the project and changes needed. Though this is by far the official place to comment on such items, it is a public discussion which will be read by other members of the community as well as the project consultants. Soon there will be a public site created by the consultants which will serve the same and "official" place to comment outside the physical meetings and once available I will post that link too.

City of Dunwoody 2012 Retreat Recap

John@JKHeneghan.com (John Heneghan) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 19:13:56 PST

Recap & Documents

The City Council "retreat" is an all day planning / training session which is used to allow new council members the opportunity to get caught up to speed on city matters and it is also used to plan for items of importance which may be brought forward in the coming year. The day started before 8 and ended after 5 and there were lots of good discussions. The 2011 year in review (link below) is a nice recap down to the city departmental level and the financial forecasts of the city and the staffing of the police department each took a good part of of the day, then we discussed numerous other items on the agenda.

The meeting was open to the public and the press covered it as well as shown here, here & here.
