The committee approved a substitute ordinance authorizing the mayor to acquire six contiguous parcels (approximately 53.19 acres) along Boulder Park Drive and Dollar Mill Road in Southwest Atlanta for a new nature preserve. Deputy Commissioner Voss said the site met tree‑trust fund criteria (minimum canopy/forestation and mature‑tree requirements) and that the city will preserve the property in perpetuity; the committee authorized up to $1,982,457.87 from impact fee and tree trust funds.

Members also approved a slate of appointments and communications: Tamara Jones (Atlanta Urban Design Commission, architect category), Jeff Mulvay (BeltLine TAD Advisory Committee, Fulton County appointment), Bentina Terry (Atlanta Housing Authority Board), Matthew Cartlidge (Urban Design Commission, landscape architect) and Christie Jones (Anthony Tickman Jones Legacy Commission). Each appointment was introduced by the nominee and approved by the committee, with recorded favorable votes.

The committee approved a walk‑in resolution adding funds (not to exceed $434,425) for a managing general contractor to perform ecological restoration and dredging at Springvale Park. City staff described that work as long‑planned and a combination of dredging and ecological restoration to stabilize and restore a lake/pond feature.

Other routine corrections and clarifying ordinances were approved in the meeting’s legislative business, and the Department of City Planning delivered a quarterly update highlighting Brownfields work, community engagement projects and zoning/permit activity.
