Welcome Our New Public Works Supervisor
Please join the Mayor and Council in welcoming Mr. Cornelius Moore to the Pine Lake City services team! He brings to the position numerous years of public works experience having served with DeKalb County, the City of Chamblee, and the City of Lithonia. He is also a certified Storm Water Inspector. Mr. Moore has expressed his excitement about the opportunity to serve the Pine Lake community. His employment began November 21, 2022.
Mr. Moore has hit the ground running, spending his first week with Public Works staff member, DeAndre Hodges, assessing workload and prioritizing duties. Here are the top items:
- Composing a schedule for the operation of the leaf truck. The Administrative office is soliciting community service assistance and it is anticipated the PW will begin clearing/ gathering leaves on or around the first full week of December.
- Assessing our damaged streets with the corner of Spring and Poplar at the top of the list for repairs.
- Demolition of the gazebo and review and replacement of the garbage receptacles.
- Assessment of the bridges on the inner berm. Solicitation for repair/rebuild of the bridges is being composed by the Admin Office.

The Mayor and City Administrator presented the initial draft of the 2023 budget to Council. The current draft is available in the November 29th Agenda Packet on the City website. Final passage of the budget will occur at the December 13th Council meeting.
Saturday December 3rd, 2022 – Lighting of the Lake
Join us at the Beach house on Saturday, December 3 between 6 and 7:30, for the Lighting of the Lake and PLAIN Cookie Exchange. The Pine Lake Singfishers (community choir) will perform a few songs and lead us in some holiday carol classics.
For the cookie exchange piece, bring 2-3 dozen homemade cookies to the beach house kitchen, and give them directly to a volunteer there (if you just set them down and walk away, we don't know who to give a plate of cookies to at the end!). We'll put some of them out for general consumption, and the rest will be distributed among all of those who also brought cookies. At the end of the evening, retrieve your cookie platter and a bag of assorted homemade cookies!
