DeKalb Defers Brookhaven Library Decision

The DeKalb County Commission has deferred a decision on the long-planned and financed -- but never built -- new Brookhaven library.

The deferral came during Tuesday’s commission meeting, reports the Brookhaven Post.

Commissioners Nancy Jester and Jeff Rader, along with other city officials, urged the public to attend Tuesday’s meeting to show support for the new library, which already has been approved by taxpayers in a 2006 bond referendum.

Tuesday’s meeting was all about a resolution to refinance those bonds.

Jester and Rader published a video on Monday, saying that commissioners Mereda Davis Johnson and Sharon Barnes Sutton are recommending that the $4.6 million new library not be funded.
