News Report leads to DeKalb Commissioner’s call for Development Authority Chair to resign | The Brookhaven Post | Brookhaven, GA

A new AJC and Channel 2 Action News investigation has uncovered a reportedly invalid DeKalb County Ethics Board Advisory Opinion draft clearing DeKalb County Development Authority Chairman, Vaughn Irons, to bid on County contracts. That document is suspected to be a forgery.

According to the AJC and Channel 2 report, Irons bid on and was awarded $1.5 Million in contracts that went to APD Solutions, a company which Irons Founded and serves as the CEO.

DeKalb County Commissioner Stan Watson also has an interest in APD Solutions, says the report. In an interview, Irons told WSB that Watson received a modest retainer fee of approximately $500.00. Watson voted to approve the APD contracts.

Friday, DeKalb District 1 Commissioner Nancy Jester has called for Irons to resign his position on the DeKalb County Development Authority, for the County to open a full investigation and for the FBI to investigate the Irons’ actions.
