  • Consular and Trade Offices
    Consular and Trade Offices Governments from throughout the world have consular offices and trade representation in greater Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. Consular offices are established by foreign governments 1) to officially develop economic, commercial, scientific and cultural relations between the country they represent and the area in which they serve, and 2) to safeguard the interests of the sending country and its citizens traveling or residing in their consular district. Traditionally these duties include issuing and renewing passports and other official documents, helping travelers in distress, signing death certificates, legalizing or delivering official documents, and assisting travelers in trouble with local law enforcement or immigration authorities. Large consular offices often support cultural affairs and/or trade and investment, as well. Sixty-eight countries are represented in Georgia, with twenty-five career consulates, forty-five honorary consular offices and more than one dozen dedicated trade and investment agencies. Career officials are members of their country’s foreign (diplomatic) or commercial service, while honorary officials are local residents appointed by foreign governments to perform consular duties. The Dean of the Consular Corps, currently Mr. Claudia Valenzuela, Consul General of El Salvador, is traditionally the career official with the longest tenure. More than a dozen foreign governments have independent operations in Atlanta with a mission to promote trade and/or investment between their countries or regions and Georgia and the Southeast U.S. In total, there are eighty-four different consular and trade offices in Atlanta.

  • City Council Meeting
    #15.. MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Michael Smith, Public Works Director Date: October 14, 2019 Subject: FIRST READ: Permanent Easement Agreement for DeKalb County Sanitary Sewer at 249 Perimeter Center Parkway BACKGROUND There are three existing DeKalb County sanitary sewer mains crossing the new Springwood Connector and the city’s property at 249 Perimeter Center Parkway. One of the mains does not currently have a recorded easement for the county to access and maintain its sewer infrastructure. The other two mains had to be realigned as part of the construction of the Springwood Connector necessitating a redrawing of the easements associated with those mains. The attached permanent easements grant access and maintenance rights to the county for its sewer infrastructure. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the ordinance granting permanent easement rights to DeKalb County for the purposes of accessing and maintaining its sanitary sewer mains. Packet page:... #15.. STATE OF GEORGIA CITY OF DUNWOODY ORDINANCE 2019-10-XX AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE GRANTING OF PERMANENT SEWER EASEMENTS TO DEKALB COUNTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACCESSING AND MAINTAINING SANITARY SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE WHEREAS, the County previously deeded the property located at 249 Perimeter Center Parkway to the City; and WHEREAS, DeKalb County owns three sanitary sewer mains and associated infrastructure that cross the City property; and WHEREAS, there is no record of an easement for one of the County’s sewer mains and the recorded easement for the other two mains needs to be redrawn based on realignment of the mains to accommodate the Springwood Connector road project; and WHEREAS, the City and County agree that it is in the public’s best interest for the County to have access to the sanitary sewer infrastructure for the purpose of maintaning the sanitary sewer system.
