City flags mail-route overlap for newspaper insert and raises data-security anecdote
Summary
Council members reviewed logistics for a planned Brookhaven newspaper insert and warned printed inserts may reach nonresidents because mail routes cross municipal boundaries; a speaker also urged staff to research an anecdotal data-availability concern involving an uploaded Excel file on a service called Checkatrade.
Norcross City discussion included outreach logistics for a planned newspaper insert and a cautionary anecdote about data availability.
A speaker asked staff to check lead times and warned that a printed insert for Brookhaven might be delivered to addresses outside city limits because mail routes cross municipal boundaries. "We may end up sending this to some non city residents mail route that's partially in the city and partially outside," the speaker said, recommending the city account for that overlap.
Separately, the speaker described routine public calls about alleged data breaches and recounted an example in which an Excel file containing names, addresses and phone numbers was uploaded to Checkatrade, suggesting staff should research whether a data-availability problem exists and how the city should respond.
The speaker said staffers who handle mail routes would likely over-mail slightly to ensure city residents receive the material and asked staff to prepare the publication insert logistics for the near-term schedule.
No formal decisions or budget allocations were recorded in the transcript segment provided.
