Looking Back on Brookhaven's 100-Day Anniversary

If you ask J.D. Clockadale, the first 100 days of the City of Brookhaven have been pretty good, chock full of accomplishments and civic pride.

The former interim deputy city manager weighed in with his own thoughts on the city as it hit its 100-day anniversary March 26 in a column for Reporter Newspapers on Sunday.

From his column:

I don’t have space to list them all, but below are multiple notable achievements/successes that benefit us:

–Severe road damage on North Cliff Valley next to Cross Keys High School has been repaired (one of many repairs). Ignored for years by DeKalb County, the repair crew received a hearty “hallelujah” from a passing driver.

–Customer service is back in government. The City Hall front desk team returns missed calls even if a message is not left.

–One can walk into City Hall any time and almost immediately speak with someone from a multitude of departments. You may not like the answer, but that’s not always the point. It’s honesty, accessibility and transparency that helps create great service.
