Summary
Council authorized the city manager to sign an agreement with Heath & Lineback Engineers for right-of-way acquisition services for the Chamblee Trail (rail-trail sections 7–12); the motion referenced both $412,000 and $412,900 in the speaking record.
Council authorized the city manager to sign an agreement with Heath & Lineback Engineers to provide right‑of‑way acquisition services for sections 7–12 of the Chamblee Trail. The motion, as read, referenced an amount stated first as $412,000 and then as $412,900 for right‑of‑way acquisition services; council members discussed tying any variance or approval to the stamped December 15 site plan to prevent plan changes without triggering review.
Council voted to authorize the manager to execute the agreement, with members expressing optimism about the trail project. Staff noted that tying approvals to a specific site plan can 'buttress' the council’s decision and prevent later, unapproved plan changes.
