Atlanta Sports City at Stonecrest signs Emory Healthcare, Urban Retail as partners

A

tlanta Sports City (ASC) at Stonecrest has inked a deal with Emory Healthcare and Urban Retail Properties, LLC, owner of the Mall at Stonecrest, to join the 250,000 square-foot sports and entertainment complex that will be built in the newly-formed city of Stonecrest.

Officials announced Emory Healthcare as the official sports medicine partner and Urban Retail as the official retail partner for the project during a news conference, which was held on May 17 at the Discover DeKalb Convention & Visitors Bureau in Tucker.

Officials also announced that a grand new entrance to the Mall at Stonecrest would be built along Mall Parkway to link the mall with the sports and entertainment complex, which will have a 15,000-seat stadium, outdoor multi-use fields, sports diamonds, indoor courts and a restaurant and entertainment area. The complex will be built on a 197-acre tract on the southeastern side of the Mall at Stonecrest .

Vaughn Irons, developer for the project, said the announced partnerships—what he called “the first impact players”—mark a milestone

and solidify ASC’s plans, which were unveiled three months ago.

With the Emory Sports Medicine Center as anchor for the 10,000-square-foot Sports Medicine Pavilion, Atlanta Sports City will be able to provide top medical care to athletes, Irons said.

Emory, which has more than 16,000 employees including 2,000 physicians, is the most comprehensive academic health system in Georgia.

“Our development team is extremely pleased we were able to negotiate adding Emory Healthcare, Emory Sports Medicine and Urban Retail as cornerstones to Atlanta Sports City. Both partners are nationally recognized and respected for their excellence in their fields of expertise,” said Irons, who said his team plans to set up workshops to seek vendors by working closely with the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce, DeKalb NAACP, Dekalb Ministers Alliance and other organizations.

Scott D. Boden, MD, director of the Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center, said he and Irons put a lot of time and energy into working out the details of the project.

“Our collective vision

for this partnership will establish an unmatched level of on-site integration of multi-sport athletic competition and training with sports medicine diagnostic equipment, medical care, and sports medicine research,” said Boden. “We expect this to be a very unique feature for an athlete or a parent deciding to visit Atlanta Sports City.”

Boden said Emory’s partnership represents a $10 million investment. He said Stonecrest provides an optimal location for Emory to better provide services in the

Scope of investigation broadens against DeKalb sheriff Jeffrey Mann

Attorney Noah Pines leads press conference as Sheriff Jeffery Mann(L) looks on.

ov. Nathan Deal has revised his executive order to broaden the scope of an investigation of DeKalb County Sheriff Jeff Mann, who was arrested on May 6 for allegedly exposing himself in an Atlanta park and running from police.

Deal signed a new order on May 16. The new order came five days after Mann’s attorney, Noah Pines, held a news conference and told reporters he had asked the governor to reconsider having Mann investigated because the charges against him amounted to violations of city ordinances—not criminal charges. Deal had cited criminal charges as the justification for appointing an investigative committee.

In addition to criminal charges, Deal’s new executive order calls for the committee to also look into alleged misconduct in office or alleged incapacity to perform the

Attorney Noah Pines said the alleged offenses aren’t criminal.

functions of office, the order states.

Attorney General Chris Carr, Newton County Sheriff Ezell Brown and Peach County Sheriff Terry Deese were appointed to the panel. The panel must report its findings within 30 days. Mann could be suspended for up to 90 days based on its findings.

Stonecrest City Council approves key positions, amends council meeting schedule

T

he Stonecrest City Council has hired a firm to temporarily handle city personnel and another company to help secure a site for City Hall as the new municipality takes shape.

Mayor Jason Lary said the city should realize some revenues at the end of August that will come from franchise fees for various entities, thanks to pre-work that was done by Stonecrest City Alliance Vice Chair Plez Joyner. Lary said property tax revenues are expected for the first quarter in 2018.

“In the interim, I am interviewing organizations that can handle Tax Anticipation Notes (TAN),” said Lary.

The City of South Fulton’s Governor’s Commission set up a TAN. Started off with $2 million in its coffers.

“We can’t wait until the money comes in. We have to be prepared to handle business licenses and other city business and we can’t do that without having the people in place,” Lary said.

“I’m getting a lot of calls from people inquiring about all sorts of things.

The City Council on May 15 approved CH2M as the city’s contractor to oversee the city’s personnel and infrastructure. The firm was one of two to present its credentials at the council’s May 10 work session, which was held after the first City Council meeting on May 1. CH2M touted its experienced leadership and history in overseeing municipal infrastructure.

The IBTS (Institute for Building Technology Safety) also made a presentation.

In other action, the city council voted to appoint the law firm of Coleman Talley as its City Attorney and the law firm of Fincher Denmark, LLC as its Assistant City Attorney. Both were recommended by the Governor’s Commission on the City of Stonecrest.

Thomas Kurrie, Jr. of Coleman Talley served as attorney for Governor’s Commission on the City of Stonecrest and he worked for four years with the Stonecrest City Alliance on the formation of the city. Fincher Denmark also worked with the Stonecrest City Alliance on the formation of the city.

The council approved the appointment of Michael Harris as Acting City Manager and Brenda James as Acting City Clerk, both of whom work for CH2M. James will replace Carolyn

Anderson, who works for Coleman Tally. Anderson had been temporarily appointed as Acting City Clerk.

The council confirmed an ordinance establishing the position of Clerk of the Municipal Court. Attorney Thompson Currie, Jr. of the law firm of Coleman Talley recommended establishing the position, saying that the city of Stonecrest (population 50,000) should have its own Municipal Court Clerk rather than relying strictly on the City Clerk to handle court duties in addition to regular administration duties.

The council also voted unanimously to approve T. Dallas Smith Corporation to represent the city regarding its City Hall space. The council is considering three sites located

within the city of Stonecrest and will work closely with the firm on the lease and other aspects of the negotiations.

The council deferred action on purchasing equipment for themselves and the mayor. The council said it would have a discussion with CH2M about specific items, costs and contracts that might be needed for equipment such as microphones, cell phones and laptop and computers.

The council also deferred voting on an ordinance establishing the city’s policy and oversight committees as well as the citizen advisory committees, saying it needed more time to consider leadership roles and responsibilities.

The council approved authorization to execute necessary documents for liability insurance coverage for the council and mayor.

The City Council passed an ordinance to amend its meeting times beginning in June through the end of 2017. The council will meet on the first and third Mondays, 10 a.m., at the Stonecrest Library, unless the meetings fall on a holiday or pose a scheduling conflict for the library. The council’s work sessions will be held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 5 p.m. at the library, also unless deemed necessary to schedule at another time or date.

Two additional work sessions are scheduled this month: May 24 and May 31.

The next City Council meeting will be held on Monday, June 5, 10 a.m.

MARTA unveils newly renovated offices at Five Points Station

The MARTA team cuts the ribbon to officially open the new Reduced Fare office. Pictured L to R: MARTA Manager of Reduced Fare/Lost & Found Roosevelt Stripling; MARTA Assistant General Manager of Communications and External Affairs Ryland McClendon; MARTA Supervisor of Reduced Fare/Lost & Found Leslie Porter; MARTA GM/CEO Keith Parker; MAC Committee Chairman Roderick Parker; MARTA Director of Architecture and Design Standards Connie Krisak; MARTA Project Manager Robert Murphy; and MARTA Architect Brian Coffman

The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) opened its doors to a fully renovated Reduced Fare and Lost and Found offices at the Five Points Station on May 17. Upgrades to the facility include expanded waiting area space and prominent signage to enhance customers’ experience.

“Our new Reduced Fare Office now offers the needed upgrades to adequately accommodate our customers with disabilities and senior riders,” said MARTA GM/CEO Keith Parker. “This brighter, user-friendly facility is outfitted with an all new HVAC system, security system as well as individual privacy window service.”

Eligible senior citizens, people with disabilities and Medicare cardholders can apply for reduced fare Breeze cards at the Five Points Station and the MARTA Headquarters at Lindbergh.

Members of the MARTA Accessibility Committee (MAC) assisted in the planning process for the newly removed office space. “From the increased lighting for the visually impaired to additional seating for the disabled, it is pleasing to see that the MARTA team put extra care into the small details,” said MAC Chairman Roderick Parker.

he National Sustainable Energy Group (NSEG) has expanded its Rent-ToOwn, Heating and Air Conditioning Program for homeowners that live in DeKalb, Rockdale, and Clayton County. This past week we have installed over 1500 new energy efficient Goodman HVAC units in the Metro Atlanta area.

Over 850 homeowners have been assisted in DeKalb County this year. The program has 5000 slots available. We have recruited additional NATE/EPA Certified heating and air contractors to keep pace with the call volume said Percy Brooks, CEO of the NSEG. It’s truly amazing for $89.95 a month a homeowner will not have to suffer the hot and humid high 80’s and 90 degree temperatures this summer said Brooks.

Qualification for approval: Homeowner property taxes must be current.

Monthly payments range from $89.95 to $109.95 depending on the size of the heating & air conditioning unit and upgrades. All Goodman heating and air units come with a Warranty. Approval and installation can be completed within 5 business days.

We are extremely honored to be able to assist so many homeowners that had given up on securing consumer financing to purchase a heating and air conditioning unit. We view this alternative option as one of the finest in the country said Brooks.

I’m sure that we will exceed our goal of assisting 5000 homeowners across the Metro Atlanta area.

We are expecting to see a record high of 50+ days of temperatures in the high 80’s and 90’s this summer season and through Fall. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for homeowners. Our customer testimonials have been heartfelt said Brooks.

The program meets the EPA requirements for the new R-410A refrigerant upgrades. It also improves the quality of life and increases property value for homeowners.

Our major objective is to share our program among the Faith-based community and Homeowners Associations (HOA’s) said Brooks.

We needed an alternative option for homeowners with less than perfect credit, who paid their property taxes on time, but couldn’t obtain traditional consumer financing for heating & air service. We all hit speed bumps in life. Our typical Client has lived in their home for an average of 12+ years said Brooks.

Energy home improvements are among the most expensive home improvement projects for homeowners said Brooks. There are over 120,000 homeowners without heating & air service and over 700,000 units working at less than 40% capacity or less. We see this as an excellent opportunity for homeowners to rent and relax.

East metro area. The Stonecrest regional office, he said, would join Emory Healthcare facilities in Brookhaven, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Stockbridge and Smyrna.

The owners of Atlanta Sports City praised the partnerships.

The addition of such notable and respected organizations like Emory Healthcare, Emory Sports Medine and Urban Retil allows us to deliver the caliber and level of products and services that we imagined and planned for when we began the inception of Atlanta Sports City—another essential building block of our foundation,” said Patrick Henderson.

“Announcing Emory Healthcare and Sports Medicine is an announcement to our youth that we care about them in the absolute best way,” said Zeric Foster.

James Tsismanakis, executive director of Discover DeKalb CVB, said the project would have a major economic impact on Stonecrest and DeKalb County, generating $200 million annually through tourism.

“The convergence of Emory Healthcare, Urban Retailers and the Atlanta Sports City team is impressive. This partnership has continued to bring together the best of the best in partners, resources and opportunities for the youth in the region to have a top-notch experience at what will be the region’s number one multi-use sports tourism destination,” said Tsismanakis.

“The opportunity to house sports medicine services, a unique retail experience and the ultimate reason to visit Atlanta Sports City, sports, all in one place is monumental to DeKalb County, the state of Georgia and the region.”

Both Trish Edge, manager at the Mall at Stonecrest and Craig Delasin, executive CEO of Urban Retail Properties, LLC, said it made since for the mall to partner with Atlanta Sports City at Stonecrset. Ultimately, the mall is looking for foot traffic and Atlanta Sports City, they said, will provide that. Edge said she is looking forward to welcoming millions to the mall and enjoy her family participating in soccer right at home.

“As a proud soccer mom with two daughters involved in soccer for quite some time, it is so exciting to think they and their teammates will have opportunity to play tournaments in our back yard as opposed to driving all over the Southeast for tournaments,” said Edge.

Delasin said he plans to look for retailers during an upcoming convention that will be held in Las Vegas. Irons and Stonecrest Mayor Jason Lary will be among those traveling to the convention.

“As mayor, I could not be more proud of our city and the tremendous growth that is developing in such a first class, first rate manner,” said Lary, who said the partnership announcements put the excitement level at a “fever pitch.”
