Dunwoody City Council meeting for Oct. 13, 2026

At the City of Dunwoody City Council meeting identified by the title as Oct. 13, 2026 (metadata lists Oct. 14), council discussed a proposed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Staff proposed selecting Blue Link as the program administrator through an RFP process; the first-year cost would be $65,000 for a five-year plan, public input, and initial administration, followed by about $50,000 annually for the next four years. These costs would be reimbursed from CDBG administrative funds, with a temporary General Fund loan needed until federal funds arrive, expected no earlier than the second quarter of 2027. Staff estimated Dunwoody might receive roughly $150,000–$400,000 annually, subject to eligibility and appropriations. Council discussed eligible uses, including sidewalks, ADA improvements, and potentially a small park, but took no vote on the proposed vendor, contract, or loan; staff was asked to bring the item back when ready.

Council approved the Georgetown Small Area Plan, with a requested change to clarify how its land-use information is presented. It also discussed proposed changes to High Street’s Block Six zoning conditions, including a trail connection, parking, and building design; council requested further work on the trail phasing and parking issues before the item returns for a second reading, expected Oct. 26. Residents raised concerns about data-center construction and a proposed trail, as well as the city’s Flock camera system and its contracts; no related procurement decision was made. The city manager’s report noted that council-chamber audiovisual upgrades were scheduled for December, but provided no cost or award details.
