Dunwoody residents packed the Dunwoody High School auditorium on Oct. 13 as candidates running for Dunwoody mayor and city council debated topics such as proposed parks bonds and economic development.

There was a discussion of alternative ways to fund park improvements, like drawing from the city’s surplus fund.
