The Brookhaven City Council on Oct. 21 approved a cluster of routine and project-focused items, including consent agenda items, right-of-way acquisitions and staff authorization to seek grant funding for the Windsor–Ashford–Dunwoody roundabout.
Consent agenda: Councilmember John Funny moved to approve consent agenda items 1 and 2; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Rezoning: Councilmember Jennifer Owens moved to defer rezoning ordinance ID 7369; the motion was seconded and approved.
Capital improvement and ordinance actions: The council approved an ordinance to amend the capital improvement program to close a site-infill project and return funds to their original sources after public comment was taken (none spoke on the ordinance). The council also approved Ordinance 74-14, which revises the city's authorized position list by reclassifying and shifting several positions (including converting a part-time municipal court clerk to full time, reclassifying police positions, and adjusting part-time/seasonal counts) to better align staffing with departmental needs.
Right-of-way and task order: Public Works presented a negotiated option agreement and asked council to authorize acquisition of right-of-way and temporary easements for the Ashford–Dunwoody multi-use path (Parcel 16). The council approved a resolution authorizing acquisition and also approved a task order with JMT to initiate appraisal, negotiation and acquisition services for PI 0016056 (Windsor Parkway/Ashford–Dunwoody intersection improvements).
Grants: Staff asked the council to direct applications to the Georgia Department of Transportation (transportation alternatives), CMAQ and the Atlanta Regional Commission Transportation Improvement Plan for construction funding for the Ashford–Dunwoody Windsor roundabout. The request sought $2,800,000 in grant funds with a local match of up to $700,000. Council approved the resolution directing staff to apply.
Votes were taken by voice and recorded as favorable in each case; no roll-call tallies with individual yes/no names were given in the meeting transcript for these items.
