Brookhaven to lease via own nonprofit
Brookhaven City Council recently agreed to form itself into a nonprofit corporation that will handle leases and purchases for the new city.
State law allows governments to sign only one-year contracts, with the option for renewal, to allow for changing elected officials’ votes.
By creating the nonprofit, Brookhaven can enter multi-year leases for buildings or patrol cars as it sets up its own police force. Brookhaven must register its finance corporation with the Georgia Secretary of State.
