Douglas Hooker, executive direc tor of the Atlanta Regional Commis sion, and a member of the Baby Boom generation, told members of the Buck- head Business Association that his gen eration’s children — the Echo Boomers — have different priorities than their par ents. “Part of what attracts them are hav ing the kinds of amenities and lifestyle close to where they live and where they work, having a ‘cool’ factor,” Hook er said. “We’re less likely to move some place because it’s ‘cool.’” Hooker said it’s essentially a new spin on the “live, work, play” concept. “Millennials, by and large, the trend is they’ll find the places they’d like to live,” Hooker said. “A lot of them, es pecially the educated ones, work in the fields where their talent is very portable. ... They are tending to go to the plac es that are ‘cool’ communities, and em ployers are following them.” Veterans Day celebration planned by city The city of Dunwoody plans to hold its 2013 Veterans Day celebration at Brook Run Park. The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. until noon on Nov. 11, according to the city’s website. It will be held at the park’s Veterans Memorial. The city said the event was intended to bring the commu nity together “in honor of those who have served and currently serve in the United States Armed Forces.” Dunwoody schools study not out yet Rep. Tom Taylor told members of Dunwoody City Council that although the final report isn’t yet complete, a re cent study shows a separate city school system “is definitely feasible.” “On preliminary numbers, the school BRIEFS system would have revenues far exceed ing what we have now,” Taylor said at the council’s Oct. 28 meeting. “We have over $70 million in school revenues. We would have a surplus that would be more than the city’s operating budget.” Taylor (R-Dunwoody) said the final report would be delivered to the coun cil and released to the public before Thanksgiving. He said its release had been delayed because some figures pro vided by DeKalb County school officials didn’t match ones in the report. “I really did not want to deliver any report that was going to be picked apart,” he said. A group of Dunwoody parents are working to organize a city school system separate from DeKalb County schools. An agency that accredits Georgia school systems has put DeKalb on probation, citing mismanagement by the county’s school board. Gov. Nathan Deal subse quently replaced six of the nine mem bers of the board. Taylor said the study used current DeKalb service levels to estimate costs and current school property tax rates, now 23.98 mills, to estimate revenues for a city system. Taylor is calling for a constitution al amendment allowing an increase in the number of Georgia school systems. He also has introduced legislation that would allow a city created since 2005 to start its own school system or to join with a neighboring city to start a system. Dunwoody was founded in 2008. DeKalb officials plan meeting to discuss county’s future DeKalb County and school officials plan a public meeting Nov. 14 in Decatur for “a conversation to move DeKalb for ward,” the county announced Oct. 25. Members of the county commission, the school board, school Superintendent Mike Thurmond and Interim CEO Lee May are scheduled to take part. The discussion is to be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Agnes Scott College’s Presser Hall, 141 E. College Ave., Decatur. People interested in at tending are asked to RSVP by Nov. 7 to bdavis@dekalbcountyga.gov. d Dunwoody Government Calendar The Dunwoody City Council usually meets the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at Dunwoody City Hall located at 41 Perimeter Center East Suite No. 103.
