This document assesses the projected impacts of the Destination Deerfield project over the next decade on local government services, schools, utilities, and transportation. It indicates that existing police and fire capacities are sufficient for future demand, and Fulton County public schools are not expected to exceed capacity due to downward enrollment trends. Utility infrastructure is anticipated to expand incrementally without negative effects. The transportation network is projected to maintain or improve service at key intersections through planned roadway projects, with increased density contributing to fewer cars due to connected, walkable districts.

The regular meeting commenced following housekeeping announcements regarding cell phone silencing and public comment procedures. The Council approved the revised meeting agenda, which included removing a zoning agenda item (RZ12-1515-260) for deferral to a future meeting due to a Planning Commission deferral, and adding an executive session item concerning land acquisition and litigation. The consent agenda involved approving the minutes from the November 14, November 19, and November 19, 2012 special called and regular City Council meetings, approving financial statements for October 2012, and approving construction services agreements for a salt storage facility and drainage improvements at Bell Memorial Park. A presentation was given by the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections regarding the final report on the North Fulton County Voter Initiative, highlighting a 9.21% increase in active voters in North Fulton County during the 2012 presidential election year. Following this, the Council recognized and presented five-year anniversary service award pens to staff members who had served since the city's incorporation in 2007, including members from code enforcement, fire department, and police department. The meeting also addressed an ordinance amendment requiring pawn brokers to assign sequential transaction numbers.
