CITIZENS INPUT:
-
Mayor Bacon recognized Mr. Bill Strickland, residing at 2962 Lexington Trace Drive, and Mr.
Strickland expressed concerns about what he considers to be a proliferation of unregulated
political campaign signs around the City. Mr. Strickland stated he would like to see the City take
steps to abate this nuisance.
Mayor Bacon recognized Mr. Alex Backry, residing at 3459 Shawnee Trail, and Mr. Backry
expressed dissatisfaction with animal control services currently provided in the City by Cobb
County Animal Control (CCAC). Mr. Backry expressed the view that CCAC has staffing levels
which are not equal to the task for which that agency is responsible. Mr. Backry expressed the
view that a City animal control officer could attend to animal control problems in Smyrna much
more quickly and efficiently. Mr. Backry stated animal control is a vital service and urged the
City's leadership to consider reinstatement of City administration over animal control matters in
Smyrna.
...
Mayor Bacon recognized Ms. Mary Kirkendoll, residing at 1078 Oakview Drive, and Ms.
Kirkendoll stated she does not get a satisfactory answer to any of her questions from City
officials. Ms. Kirkendoll expressed dissatisfaction with a recent City town hall meeting she
attended, stated the meeting was not sufficiently publicized in advance and questioned its
legitimacy. Ms. Kirkendoll expressed concerns about a recently approved rezoning in the
Cumberland area which she believes will be a Federally-subsidized, low-income apartment
building with a requirement for some tenants to be fifty-five years of age or older. Ms.
Kirkendoll demanded to know why there has been no movement to redevelop that corridor with
high-rise office buildings and high-end condominiums. Ms. Kirkendoll urged citizens to do their
own research into the Paces Foundation and find out why one of their proposals was "blocked" in
Rabun County. Ms. Kirkendoll expressed dissatisfaction with a response she received from a
City official regarding an inquiry into the number of pre-leases for space at Jonquil Village. Ms.
Kirkendoll expressed dissatisfaction with responses she received from City officials regarding an
inquiry about a retaining wall on King Springs Road. Ms. Kirkendoll provided details to those
present concerning demolition of some public housing in the metropolitan area and expressed the
view that the occupants thus displaced are a cause for concern for local residents. Ms. Kirkendoll
stated the City of Sandy Springs has a citizens response center which she says is manned twenty-
four hours a day with staff to direct callers to the proper channels for assistance. Ms. Kirkendoll
expressed the view that the City's leadership is "secretive" and stated she will be here every week
to make disclosures.
ADJOURNMENT:
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
