North Fulton mayors, officials explore coordinating elections By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — North Fulton County mayors and city officials discussed forming an elections authority that would oversee municipal elections in the future. Such a move would wrest city election oversight and operations out of the hands of Fulton County, which bills the
cities for its work. The North Fulton Municipal Association meets monthly, except during the summer, and includes elected officials and senior staff from the six North Fulton cities. The informal luncheon provides city leaders an opportunity to discuss broader issues involving the county and other agencies, like Fulton County Schools, the Georgia Department of
Transportation, Atlanta Regional Commission and MARTA. The March meeting drew five of the six North Fulton mayors. Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul did not attend, but City Manager Eden Freeman and Councilwoman Melissa Mular were in attendance to represent North Fulton’s largest city.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — The theme of this year’s Sandy Springs Lantern Parade is “Take it to the River,” inspired by the April 13 sunset walk to the Chattahoochee at Morgan Falls Overlook Park. The three-quarter-mile march begins at Steel Canyon Golf Course at 460 Morgan Falls Road and ends with a view of the river. Look out for five unique lanterns floating on the Chattahoochee River, including Jeremiah the Bullfrog, Georgia Kissyfish and Alice the 26-foot Albino Alligator. Before the parade steps off around 8:30 p.m., participants are invited to gather in the parking lot at Steel Canyon for live music, food trucks and children’s activities. A free shuttle from the Morgan Falls Office Park begins at 5:30 p.m. Festivities at the golf course start at 6 p.m.
