Two more candidates for Dunwoody City Council have surfaced.

John Heneghan, president of the 1,250-household Dunwoody North Civic Association and a cityhood proponent who served on the board of the Citizens for Dunwoody, announced he will compete for an at-large council position out of the community's eastern district in the Sept. 16 special election.

Danny Ross, co-president of the Dunwoody Preservation Trust and a member of Citizens for Dunwoody, said he is running for an at-large council position from the city's central district.

Candidates can officially qualify to run in Dunwoody's election Monday through Wednesday with the DeKalb Voter Registration and Elections Office.

Council members elected citywide will initially serve a three-year term, until Nov. 2011, at which point the terms will permanently become four years.

Dunwoody, which begins city operations Dec. 1, will have three at-large council members who will be elected citywide, and three council members who will each represent only their district. The city has been broken into three districts.

The mayor will also be elected citywide.

Heneghan and Ross join Robert Wittenstein, a leader in the Citizens for Dunwoody incorporation effort, as announced council hopefuls. Ken Wright, the former president of the Citizens for Dunwood, said he will run for mayor.

Heneghan is a Chicago native who has lived in Dunwoody for 11 years. He works as a senior manager for the U.S. Department of Transportation. He is married and has three children in DeKalb County schools.

Heneghan is known for a blog he authors on Dunwoody events and issues that he calls Heneghan's Dunwoody Blog.

Ross has lived in Dunwoody for more than 32 years and is co-president of the Trust along with his wife, Queenie.

Ross said he led the effort to save the Donaldson-Chestnut Farm. He also helped grow Lemonade Days into a four-day long festival that attracts more than 30,000 people.
