Dunwoody City Council meeting for Monday, May 11, 2026

The Dunwoody City Council meeting held on May 11, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval to purchase ballistic panels for sworn police personnel to enhance officer safety, with council unanimous in support. The council also discussed capital improvement projects such as stormwater repairs, playground resurfacing at Winward Hollow Park, and window replacements at the Spruill Art Center, with associated budget allocations and contingency funding detailed. Additionally, the council addressed the rebidding of the Mount Vernon and Tilly Mill intersection project due to bidder qualification concerns and discussed coordination with DeKalb County on water main costs. A one-year pilot program for economic development placemaking signage was approved, with the Development Authority managing partner proposals. The council also deliberated on a proposed ordinance to regulate vape shops by limiting their inventory to 25%, ultimately tabling the ordinance and extending the moratorium to August 10, 2026, to allow further consideration. A comprehensive police compensation study was presented, recommending pay plan updates and a new tiered structure to improve recruitment and retention, particularly for sworn officers. The meeting included public comments on community safety, stormwater infrastructure, and local business regulations, but no votes were taken on those topics.
