Dunwoody City Council Special Called Meeting for June 15, 2026 (morning)

The City of Dunwoody held a special called meeting on June 15, 2026, primarily focused on the public hearing and discussion regarding the city's ad valorem property tax millage rate for fiscal year 2026. The council reviewed the proposed millage rate of 3.04 mills, which represents no increase from the previous year, and discussed its impact on homeowners, including the homestead exemption and rollback calculations. Public comments raised concerns about the frequency of tax increases, city spending, and staffing levels, particularly in public safety and city administration. Council members also discussed the allocation of tax revenues, noting that general fund taxes primarily support police operations, while infrastructure projects like sidewalks are funded through voter-approved sales tax (SPLOST). The meeting included clarifications on tax calculations, exemptions, and comparisons with neighboring jurisdictions. No motions related to new contracts or procurement were made during this session.
