GOTTA GET SOME I'M HERE WITH MY FRIEND EMILY. YOU CAN JUST WALK. YOU CAN JUST WALK. [LAUGHTER].
AND OUR FURRY FRIEND, MARY JANE. MARY JANE HAS BEEN WITH THE SHELTER SINCE APRIL.
SHE IS AROUND THREE YEARS OLD AND A BIG GIRL AT 70 POUNDS.
BUT SHE IS REALLY GENTLE AND PRETTY EASY TO HANDLE.
SHE IS A SUPER CUDDLER, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE TYPE OF DOG TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
VERY LOW ENERGY WALKS POLITELY ON LEASH. AND SHE'S ALSO DONE WELL MEETING CHILDREN.
SHE'S DOG FRIENDLY. SO ME AND EMILY BOTH PARTICIPATE IN PLAYGROUP EVERY WEEKEND, AND WE SEE MARY JANE HAVING A GOOD TIME WITH HER, HER FURRY FRIENDS. SO SHE WOULD BE. SHE'S LOVES DOG FRIENDS, SO SHE'D BE A GREAT DOG TO BRING HOME, EVEN JUST FOR A WEEKEND. WHEN I LEFT THE SHELTER TONIGHT, WE WERE AT 517 DOGS PHYSICALLY IN OUR BUILDING.
OUR HUMANE CAPACITY GOAL, AS YOU GUYS HAVE HEARD, IS 475.
AND IF WE MEET THAT GOAL, THEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF SPACE EUTHANASIA LIST.
SO OBVIOUSLY THAT'S THE GOAL. SO EVEN A WEEKEND WARRIOR HELPS, WHICH IS JUST A TWO NIGHT FOSTER.
AS AGAIN, WHEN I LEFT, WE ALSO HAD A MOTHER AND HER EIGHT PUPPIES WHO WERE IN THE FOSTER.
SO YOU JUST KIND OF HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MOM. AND THEN SHE DOES ALL THE HARD WORK, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR US, RIGHT? AND THEN WE DO HAVE SOME REALLY FUN EVENTS COMING UP.
SO WE HAVE FREE ADOPTIONS EVERY TUESDAY THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER AS WE HAVE THESE REALLY HIGH NUMBERS.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE AT SCEPTER BREWING FROM 5:00 P.M.
TO 8:00 P.M. TOMORROW NIGHT FOR PUP AND PINTS.
AND THEN THIS FRIDAY WE HAVE OUR PET FOOD BANK FOR MEMBERS OF DEKALB COUNTY.
SO I JUST WANT TO REMIND ANYONE IN HERE WHO IS A PET OWNER, WE ARE NOT ONLY TRYING TO FIND HOMES FOR THE PETS IN OUR CARE, BUT WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT PETS FROM COMING INTO OUR CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND SO IF THERE ARE FINANCIAL BURDENS LIKE FOOD AND MEDICAL CARE THAT ARE PREVENTING SOMEONE FROM KEEPING THEIR PET, WE TRY TO PROVIDE RESOURCES. SO IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN NEED OF RESOURCES AND IS, YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT HAVING TO REHOME, BUT NOT BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THE DOG IS DOING JUST BECAUSE OF HOW THE WORLD IS RIGHT NOW.
WE WOULD LOVE TO CHAT WITH YOU. AGAIN, WE'D LOVE TO FIND MARY JANE AT HOME.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO ADD A MEMBER TO YOUR FAMILY.
MARY JANE IS READY TO GO. LOOK AT HER LOOKING AT ME FOR SOME REASON.
[LAUGHTER] IF YOU WANT TO. IF YOU WANT TO BABYSIT.
APPARENTLY THERE'S A MOM AND EIGHT PUPS OVER THERE.
[00:05:02]
THAT SOUNDS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A WORLD OF FUN RIGHT THERE.IF YOU HAVE SOME FREE TIME, GO OVER AND PICK THAT.
SO IT'S NOT GOING TO COST YOU ANYTHING TO ADD A MEMBER TO YOUR FAMILY.
AND THE BENEFITS WILL CERTAINLY OUTWEIGH ANY, ANY COST ANYWAY, BECAUSE YEAH, IT'S A LOT OF FUN HAVING PUPS AND KITTENS AND WHATEVER IN THE HOUSE. THANK YOU. LOOK, LOOK AT THAT.

AND THEY WILL REBLOOM ONE MORE TIME. I WOULD LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO GET YOUR DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.I DON'T THINK THE SEWER SYSTEM AROUND HERE WILL HANDLE ANOTHER SET OF APARTMENTS OFF SAVOY DRIVE, BUT IT'D BE SURE NICE TO HAVE A CRACKER BARREL THERE IN THAT BIG EMPTY LOT.
NOT. PEOPLE COULD EXIT OFF CHAMBLEE DUNWOODY, NORTH PEACHTREE.
YOU GET TAX DOLLARS OUT DUNWOODY, BROOKHAVEN AND CHAMBLEE TO COME EAT BREAKFAST THERE.
BE A GREAT PLACE FOR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH AND DINNER OVER THERE, BUT I NEED YOU ALL'S HELP AT THE CROSSING AT 8TH STREET AND NEW PEACHTREE. WE'VE ASKED BEFORE FOR A GUARDRAIL, AND EVERYBODY SAID NO.
WE JUST HAD ANOTHER CAR GO OFF AND IT WENT INTO THE GRAVEYARD.
I STILL HAVE POWER OF ATTORNEY ON AND SO I'VE GOT AN ESTIMATE. ONE OF THE FIREFIGHTERS AT THE BROOKHAVEN FIRE STATIONS IN THE FENCE BUSINESS GOT AN ESTIMATE FOR THE FENCE FOR $1,800.
I KNOW THE LADY HAS INSURANCE WITH STATE FARM.
AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GET Y'ALL TO LOOK AT EITHER DOING A GUARDRAIL OR IF YOU GO TO CHICK-FIL-A, THEY HAVE THE REAL THICK WOOD. AND WE COULD DO THAT AROUND THAT BECAUSE NOW THAT'S AN OLD CEMETERY.
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THERE ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN FROM THE 1800S.
AND NOW WE HAVE SOME OF THE GRAVESTONES THAT ARE DAMAGED THERE.
THE CHAIN LINK FENCE BELONGS TO THE CHURCH. THE PLANTERS BELONG TO CHAMBLEE.
I DONATED TWO TREES AND THEY WERE MOWED DOWN.
AND THE PICKET FENCE BELONGS TO CHAMBLEE. THE PICKET FENCE JUST FELL OVER FROM THE LAST TIME IT WAS RUN OVER BY ANOTHER VAN, BUT I JUST. AND I WANT TO GET WITH Y'ALL TO REACH OUT TO THE ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMITTEE TO GET TO DO A STUDY WITH AN UNDERPASS AND OVERPASS THERE.
SINCE Y'ALL HAVE ZONED ALL THE APARTMENTS OFF OF THE V DRIVE AREA, THAT'S GOING TO BE HUNDREDS OF MORE CARS THERE AND CALDWELL ROAD AND THE UNDERPASS AT REDDING ROAD WITH ASHFORD PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THE TRAFFIC.
THAT COMES 85 TO CHAMBLEE TUCKER TO NEW PEACHTREE AND COME DOWN THERE.
PLUS ALL THOSE ADDITIONAL APARTMENTS THERE. SO IF YOU.
WE CAN GET YOU ALL TO REACH OUT TO THE ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMITTEE JUST TO DO A STUDY OF AN OVERPASS OR UNDERPASS, AND THEN WE CAN GET WITH JON OSSOFF AND THE FEDS AND SEE HOW MUCH THE FEDERAL MONEY.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS COUNCIL THIS EVENING? ANYBODY? ALRIGHT. DO WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING? ALRIGHT. WE DO NOT HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION. I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
