One newcomer, one
incumbent win Brookhaven
council seats
BY SAMMIE PURCELL
Newcomer John Funny and in
cumbent John Park will serve on the
Brookhaven City Council, according to
the city’s November elec
tion results.
Funny will serve as the
District 4 council mem
ber. He won about 80%
of the votes compared to
challenger Dale Boone’s
19.52%.
Funny previously
served as the chairman
for Brookhaven’s Social
Justice, Race, and Equity
Commission as well as on
the city’s Planning Com
mission. He previously
stated his priorities for
the city include “transportation, smart
growth and affordable housing, public
safety, and greenspace.”
Park will once again serve as the Dis
trict 2 council member, winning about
64.4% of the votes compared to challeng
er Katie Dunagan’s 35.23%.
Park won a special election for the
council seat in 2014 and a full term in
2017. Park has said that
his priorities for Brookhaven’s District
2 include stormwater improvements,
connectivity, and managing the city’s
growth.

chamber honors
Joe Gebbia
The Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce
honored District 4 City Councilmember Joe
Gebbia for his service to the city.
“All of the successes that Brookhaven
has, every one of them, can come back to Joe
Gebbia,” Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst said
at a November luncheon. “Joe led the coun
cil in the most civil way possible.”
Gebbia, a health-food entrepreneur, was
a member of the city’s founding City Coun
cil in 2012. He won a full term in 2013 and a
second term in 2017.
Gebbia announced earlier this year he
would not run for reelection. John Funny
won the Nov. 2 election to serve District 4.
District 4 covers much of southern
Brookhaven, including the rapidly redevel
oping Buford Highway corridor and Execu
tive Park area where both Children’s Health
care of Atlanta and Emory Healthcare have
massive projects.
“I have loved every minute of it since I
started nine years ago,” Gebbia said. “It has
made me such a better person ... What an
amazing experience.”
Other speakers at the event included cur
rent and future Brookhaven councilmem-
bers, along with Santiago Marquez with the
Latin American Association. The Cross Keys
High School marching band gave a special
performance.

Lynwood Park to
get improvements
The Brookhaven City Council recently
approved three contracts for improvements
to Lynwood Park. The contracts are relat
ed to the construction of a pool, splash pad,
pool house, and turf field in the park.
All of the projects are included under
Brookhaven’s $40 million park bond, which
received voter support in 2018. The bond
sets aside just under $11 million for im
provements to Lynwood Park, which is lo
cated at 3360 Osborne Road.
“It’s so long-awaited for the Lynwood
community,” said Councilmember Linley
Jones. “It comes at the tail end of the start
of our park bond projects, and I hope that
the Lynwood community is excited for the
improvement and patient with the process.
It’s going to be a wonderful, wonderful set of
amenities for Lynwood.”
The council approved an $8.6 million
contract with Integrated Construction and
Nobility (ICAN) for construction of the
splash pad, pool, a pool deck, fencing, and
pool house. A roughly $565,000 contract
with the construction company Advanced
Sports Group will cover the installation of
a multi-use synthetic turf field at the park,
and an $82,557.60 contract with Geo-Hydro
Engineers will cover soil and materials test
ing for the splash pad.
Construction is expected to take about 11
months, with the goal to finish by the end
of 2022.
