JUNE 28 - JULY 11,2013 • VOL. 5 - NO. 13
It 's a sign of summer
Lemonade was for sale by
eager entrepreneurs Wil
Brown, 12, left, and Nick
Joiner, 11, at their stand
on Johnson Ferry Road,
across from Waddeston Way,
on June 23. The freshly-
made beverage could be
purchased for 50 cents, as
could chocolate chip cookies.
Some of the proceeds
were going to one of their
favorite organizations,
“Relay for Life,” which
raises funds to fight cancer.

Brookhaven City Council members are optimistic about the
city’s revenue as they prepare to vote on Brookhaven’s first tax rate
July 8.
The city held three public hearings on June 17 and 20 to explain
what residents can expect on their city tax bill and to hear input
from the public about the proposed tax rate.
Finance Director Bonnie Kline said June 17 that if the Council
approves a millage rate of 3.35, the city would bring in about $6
million in property taxes in 2013.

Brookhaven to court if the city doesn’t pay for the police and parks ser

costs of the interim police and parks services the county is providing
until the city is able to establish its own departments. But the two ju
risdictions have yet to sign an intergovernmental agreement over the
services.
