Great News for Dunwoody
Commissioner Nancy Jester to
Combine Dunwoody Town Hall Meeting
with iCEO Lee May
In his initial list of Town Halls, DeKalb iCEO Lee May failed to included any location north of I-85 in DeKalb County. After Commissioner Nancy Jester sent iCEO Lee May a public letter inviting him to remember that all parts of DeKalb County are important iCEO Lee May, in responding to Commissioner Nancy Jester, scheduled a town hall meeting in Dunwoody.
It turns out, iCEO Lee May has scheduled a Town Hall in Dunwoody for Tuesday, Oct 27, 6:30-8 p.m. at Dunwoody City Hall 41 Perimeter Center Dunwoody, GA 30346 which is the exact night Commissioner Jester has had her long scheduled in Dunwoody at the Dunwoody Library.
In an effort to best serve Dunwoody, Commissioner Nancy Jester is combining her Town Hall with the Lee May Town Hall so people can visit with both DeKalb iCEO Lee May and Commissioner Nancy Jester in the same location.
What appeared to be a conflict is now a win-win for Dunwoody. Canceling her Town Hall was never an option, but combining Town Halls removes any conflict people might have faced and allows for a larger crowd to address both iCEO Lee May and Commissioner Nancy Jester in the same location.
“I always welcome iCEO Lee May to Dunwoody and am happy to combine our Town Halls on October 27 so that the people of Dunwoody can share there concerns about the Bowers-Hyde Report “up close and personal” with iCEo Lee May,” said Commissioner Jester.
Commissioner Nancy Jester: The First Reform Action For DeKalb County
Commissioner Nancy Jester, who was not named in the Report of the Special Investigators to DeKalb County, is the first DeKalb County Commissioner to introduce substantive positive policy solutions to address The DeKalb County Corruption Crisis.
This is the first of several reforms Commissioner Nancy Jester will introduce for a vote by the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners:
Whereas, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners has an obligation to establish policies that promote financial stewardship and safeguard taxpayers resources; and,
Whereas, the Report from Special Investigators Bowers and Hyde demonstrates that internal controls in DeKalb County Government are weak and ineffective at preventing financial, contracting, and human resources fraud and abuse; and,
Whereas, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners should take immediate and decisive action to direct the Administration, including the office of the CEO, the CFO, the Director of Human Resources, and al Department heads, to adopt robust and meaningful internal controls with redundant checks for all expenditures, contracting, and human resources actions;
Now, therefore we, the DeKalb County Board of Commissioners, do herby order the CEO, CFO, the Director of Human Resources, and all Department Heads to immediately implement internal controls that include requirements for the signatures of Department Heads and the CFO attesting to the validity, legality, and appropriateness of every expenditure, contract execution, and hiring action under penalty of termination and fines if found to be illegal, unethical, or without sufficient documentation.
