GovernmentComm. Rader's New Nightclub OrdinanceCommissioner Rader has proposed a new "nightclub" definition for the zoning code that will specifically allow the Board of Commissioners to approve or disapprove via permitting, of any establishment that wishes to sell alcohol past midnite. Existing clubs, bars and restaurants would not be affected. On the plus side, this gives the BoC some control where none existed before. Gun Bill (HB 89) InformationThe General Assembly passed House Bill 89, which authorizes the carrying of concealed firearms on public transit, in restaurants that serve alcohol, all parks, allows for firearms to be located anywhere in a vehicle, arms constables in courthouses, shortens the timeframe for Probate Judges to issue concealed weapons permits, and removes prohibitions on allowing firearms in employee parking lots unless the employer specifically objects. The final version of HB 89 has the effect of authorizing concealed carry permit holders to defend others in public places. IRS Relaxes Filing Deadlines for ALL DeKalb ResidentsDue to the recent tornado and subsequent designation of DeKalb and Fulton as federal disaster relief areas, the IRS has stated that residents and business owners in those and other affected counties have until May 19 to file returns, pay taxes or estimated taxes or any other official filing due originally between March 14 and May 19. The Ga. Dept. of Revenue has done the same. There is no requirement for the taxpayer to have suffered from the storm, merely being a resident of or having a business located in the affected counties. Watering Restrictions Update* Hand watering will be allowed for 25 minutes per day on an odd-even schedule between midnight and 10 a.m. Odd numbered addresses can water on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Even numbered addresses can water Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Hand watering is defined as one person with one garden hose with a spray nozzle that shuts off when it is released. Use 311DeKalb County has turned on the 311 assistance number. This is for any non-emergency county service. Residents have used it to request pickup of debris along roads, to report potholes/washouts and more. Of course, if you see a crime in progress etc. still call 911. A resident used the 311 number last week to setup a date for the police to install one of their radar speed signs on North Superior this coming week. We will use the data to determine the need for further enforcement efforts.
