The last three Parks Bond projects are wrapping up; SPLOST I projects are winding down; major facility projects are underway (City Hall and PEP building); two bridge projects over I-85 are in design; two phases of the Peachtree Creek Greenway are in ROW acquisition or design; SPLOST II projects have begun; SSD / URA funded projects are in design; several stormwater projects will begin development with the increase in the stormwater annual fee; and there is an evolving list of Park Asset Preservation projects (SPLOST II). 1 Request of Mayor and City Council: Consider staff bandwidth and impact on the community with so many projects underway and in the pipeline. More importantly, the revenue for the 6- year SPLOST II is fully programmed and the entire URA bond is appropriated. Policy decisions are on the horizon as URA projects come out of design and there is limited resources for implementation. 12:45 PM – 1:00 PM: Convenience Break (Tab 3) 1:00 PM – 1:30 AM: Brookhaven, Better Together - Christian Sigman At the 2024 Advance on January 27, 2024, the City Council provided direction to enhance communications in the community. Since then, the department has become fully staffed and has had several follow-up meetings with Council Members. There have been special campaigns (e.g., Cone Crew, Dresden District, etc.); additional quarterly town halls; iterative communications on social media, etc. Enclosed in this 2024 Mid-Year Advance binder is the proposed marketing plan and revised Strategic Communications Plan. Request of Mayor and City Council: Has the Communications Department captured the essence of the direction provided in January and shall the Administration move forward with the proposed marketing plan and updates to the Communications Strategic Plan?
