Council approves MOUs with Emory Johns Creek Hospital, AMR and selects public art for Town Center
Summary
The consent agenda included memoranda of understanding with Emory Johns Creek Hospital and American Medical Response for EMT/paramedic clinics and a recommendation from the public art commission to select an approximately 24-foot sculpture for the Town Center boardwalk.
The council approved the consent agenda, which included memoranda of understanding with Emory Johns Creek Hospital and American Medical Response for EMT and paramedic clinics, and the public art commission's recommendation for an artist to create a new installation at the Town Center boardwalk.
Councilmembers praised the selected art piece as a modern spiral roughly 24 feet tall that will add visual interest to the boardwalk. "I'm really excited to see that art piece... It's about 24 feet height and looking forward to that great art piece in the boardwalk at Town Center," one councilmember said during consent discussion.
Why it matters: the MOUs support emergency-response relationships with local health providers and first responders; the public-art selection aligns with the council's arts-and-culture strategic priority and is part of the boardwalk construction that staff said is on track to open in summer 2026.
What’s next: staff will finalize the MOUs and move forward with artist contracting and installation planning for the Town Center boardwalk art.
