A resident addressing the council urged officials to reconsider the planned placement of the city's new municipal complex and to swap the proposed city-hall site at Mulberry Park with a park site on Peachtree Road.
The resident, who identified himself as AC and gave his address as 100 Powell Court, said moving city hall to Peachtree Road would better position municipal services closer to future growth corridors, keep activity concentrated in the current City Center around the water tower and the Depot, and avoid locating a park near the cemetery. "If we move City Hall over to Peachtree, what is the pull to the existing facility here on this road, the Depot, the Houston Cafe, the coffee shop?" he asked. He also suggested a park on Peachtree could be more centrally located for future residents.
The resident acknowledged the proposal is complex and asked council to review the option before design decisions become final; no council action or staff response was recorded beyond the public-comment period. The comment was made during the citizen input portion of the meeting; the council did not take immediate action and adjourned following the public-input period.
