Interesting. I wonder what Brookhaven paid DeKalb County for the one year before the switch, in other words cost saves?

All those places should just be lumped into one mega-definition: NotDecatur.

It doesn’t say anything about Dunwoody. What up?

In return, we’ll be hiring their arborist.

Interesting approach. Probably a lot cheaper than their usual gambit of hiring private services to do public work. Perhaps Decatur ought to look at whether it can sign up more contract customers for services such as inspections. It might hold down costs for everyone while maintaining the city’s professional staff — an asset places like Brookhaven, Sandy Springs and Dunwoody have sacrificed on the altar of privatization..
