Commissioner Kathie Gannon invites the community to discuss a new Blueprint for DeKalb County:
DATE: Tuesday February 11, 2014
TIME: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM
PLACE: Decatur Library, Ground Floor Meeting Room. Enter from parking lot in the rear.
You can review the Blueprint document here. This Blueprint is a call to action in the following areas of County governance:
operations: clarify administrative procedures
ethics: limits on vendor contributions to candidates, appointing an auditor, and developing a process so that the Board of Ethics is NOT appointed by the officers the Board is meant to scrutinize
elections: explore term limits on incumbents and encourage voter participation
governmental structure: address existing processes governing cityhood formation and annexation; consider moratorium on new cities for the current legislative session
HOST sales tax: revise HOST legislation (because existing rules allow a pattern of HOST tax allocation that is leaving the County without the means to maintain services for cities and unincorporated areas alike)
