CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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.
