Charter Commission
recommends changes

The charter itself called for
the review at five years.
Their debates yielded
controversy as some res
idents objected to a sug
gestion that the city be al
lowed, without a vote of the
residents, to take over tax
ation to provide fire servic
es. After protesting crowds
packed meeting after meet
ing, Commissioner Robert
Wittenstein said the pro
cess turned out to be “much
more difficult than we had
imagined.”
At the final meeting, Chairman Max
Lehmann thanked the other commis
sioners for the way they responded to
the controversy.
“I think we came through it with
Dunwoody style, with a Dunwoody
way of handling it, with grace,” Lehm
ann said.
Councilman Terry Nall also thanked
the commissioners for their work. “I’m
really here on behalf of a grateful city,”
Nall told them. “You’ve been at this sev
eral months. You’ve been at this week af
ter week. This is a very important part of
the history of Dunwoody.”
And Commissioner Beverly Wingate
said the public fuss over the charter re
view may have had an unintended side
effect. “I do think some people do know
more about the charter,” she said.
The commission in early October
was wrapping up its final report, which
City Clerk Sharon Lowery said is due
later in the month.
Commissioners decided to recom
mend several significant changes to the
charter, including a provision allowing
the city to use a special tax to fund fire
protection services, should the council
ever decide to start a fire department,
but to allow homeowners a tax discount
on the fire tax to mimic the reduction
they receive through DeKalb County’s
Homestead Option Sales Tax.
Other provisions include propos
als to require two, rather than one, City
Council member to sponsor an item to
get it on the council’s agenda; to allow
the city manager to move money with
in the city budget; and to remove a pro
vision making the mayor and coun
cil members ex officio members of city
boards.
The report goes to the state Legis
lature, the body that approves the city
charter. The five members of the com
mission were chosen by the three law
makers who represent Dunwoody — Sen.
Fran Millar of Dunwoody and Reps.
Tom Taylor of Dunwoody and Mike Ja
cobs of Brookhaven — and Mayor Mike
Davis and the City Council.
The report to lawmakers will include
a list of the proposals the commission
ers considered, but decided not to rec
ommend. Those suggestions, commis
sioners said, could be considered again
when the next Charter Review Commis
sion meets.
