Transportation Committee amends, approves renaming of portion of Dishy Street Southeast
Summary
The Transportation Committee approved an ordinance (Item 12501097) to rename a portion of Dishy Street SE; the committee amended the ordinance to attach a department confirmation required under City of Atlanta code before final action.
The Transportation Committee of the Atlanta City Council approved an ordinance to rename a portion of Dishy Street Southeast (Item 12501097) after amending the measure to include a written confirmation from the department that specific code-required steps were completed.
The amendment attaches the commissioner’s written confirmation that City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances section 138-8(d)(1)(b) and (c) have been completed by the department pursuant to section 5 of the legislation. The public hearing on the item drew no speakers and committee members moved to close the hearing before taking the amendment and approval votes.
Councilmember Liliana Batiari introduced the ordinance as substituted by the Transportation Committee. After the committee moved to amend the item and to approve the ordinance as amended, the chair closed the vote. The motion carried and the item was approved as amended; the transcript records the vote as "closed for yays, 0 nays" but the exact yea count is not specified in the record.
Why it matters: the amendment ensures the administrative steps required by the city code are documented before the renaming is finalized, a procedural safeguard that the committee said should be attached to the ordinance.
