Dunwoody is mulling
over plans to spend $10 million to continue to redesign Brook Run Park. See
Dunwoody Reporter May 25-June 7 edition.
This is a city with total revenue of $24 million a year reporting a
budget of $34 million in 2018.
The City of Dunwoody
has entered into an agreement with Peachtree Middle School that is located next
to Brook Run Park to share the middle school’s existing ball fields. The city
will use the ball parks on evenings and weekends and will maintain the fields.
Peachtree Middle School will use them on weekdays.
The 100 acre Brook run
Park was once occupied by the Georgia Center for Retardation at Brook Run.
The Georgia Center for Retardation at Brook Run
opened in 1966 and closed in 1997 as a result of the 1990 Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA), which mandated that residents move into group homes or
back to their own homes. For 29 years, Brook Run trained, educated and cared
for people of all ages with a variety of mental and physical disabilities. The
patients, called residents, lived there full-time, year round. The teachers and
caretakers worked year round, usually with the same residents year after year.
After the closure of the retardation center in
1997, DeKalb County took charge of the property and made it a park. This was an
open park with thousands of trees and connecting roads to open fields and
picnic areas.
When the City of Dunwoody was formed in December
2008 and the park became city property. This was also the year that UN Agenda
21 implementation in Georgia began with the establishment of unelected Regional
Commissions. The Agenda 21 plan was adopted by the Dunwoody City Council
shortly after it formed to replace Land Use, Planning and Zoning to be UN
Agenda 21 compliant. It required central planning by the American Planning
Association and use of ICLEI compliant consultants. The Agenda 21 requirement
for parks was 10% of the city land mass, we had 3% and had no idea what to do
with that.
The purpose of UN Agenda 21 was to destroy the US
economy to make way for global governance under the UN. It required wasting
$trillions on high density megacities with public transit, the US
infrastructure was already in place for subdivisions, roads and cars.
After the Trump election in 2016, funding for the
“fundamental transformation” began to decline. From 2008 to 2016 Obama spent $trillions in the US on UN
Agenda 21 compliance and it still isn’t dead. The Georgia legislature has not
repealed the Regionalism Bills passed in 2008 and 2010.
