Summary of Remarks of w. Stell Huie at MARTA meeting, Novembe r 7, 1967 - re Amendme nts to MARTA Legislation-1968 1. Section 9{c) requiring judicial review of the Authority's rate making powers should be eliminated. It is necessary that the Authority have the power to commit to bond purchasers that it can establish r a t e s suffici e nt to cover the operating cost of the system. 2. Section 10: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) eliminate the 6% interest limitation found in 10 {d) • eliminate the requi rement that the bonds be sold by public competitive bidding found in 10 (h) . . eliminate the requirement that t he bonds be sold at par found in lO{h). amend lO(g) to provide that all "obligations" rather than just bonds will have the qualit i es of negoti able instruments. ame nd lO(p) to provi de that t he procedure o f the reve nue bond l aw as it now e x ists or may be hereafter amended will apply. ~ appears that the 1965 version which has since been amended may be referred to in the Ac t . 3. Section 13{b) must be cla rifi e d so as to eliminate any e x c e ss ive dra in of f unds b y r eason o f r elocation payme nts which may not be included in estimate s o f e n g i nee r s . I n thi s r espect we must check on the federal requirements as well as procedures and policies established f or relocat ion payments under oth e r laws . 4. Section 1 5(c) mus t be amende d so a s t o provide that after a va l idatio n p roc eeding n o c ontract may be declared v oid by reason o f any c o n f lic t o f interest. 5. Greate r fle x ib i lity t han is allowed by S e ction 17 nee ds to be added f o r bud g e t ing p u rpos e s ; howe v er it would app ear t h at t h e o nly must requiremen t here i n is that a def i cit budget should be allowed during initial year ' s operati o ns. 6. Sectio n 18 which pro vides f o r inspectio n every three years by an outside engineer is u nreas onable and wou l d be too e xpe nsive. It should be eliminated. The trust indenture securing the bonds will provide for adequate inspection for t h e interest of the bond holders. 7. Section 24 must be amended so as t o e liminate the r e quire me nt that the contracts with participating governments be approved in a referendum by submitting "the e x tent of the dollar amount or amounts involved." �8. Section 24 and Section 8(i) must be amended so as to authorize the payment of participating governments of operating subsidies if it should become necessary . 9. Section 24(e) should be amended to eliminate the last sentence which says that the authority is subject to and limited b y any local act heretofore or hereafter enacted applicable to the local governing body of any local g overnment. This language is troublesome and we don't know e x actly what it means. 10. Section 24(k) should be amended to eliminate the prohibition of the use by the City of Atlanta of "its public funds" to support rapid transit when taxes are being levied by Fulton and DeKalb counties on subjects of tax ation within the city limits. Such provision could prevent the city from g i ving us the benefit of their l a nd office without cost and cedi rig to us cert ain r i ghts-of -way a nd b e n efi t s in public s t reet~ , e tc. 11. Section 24(1) should be amended to authorize contributions and support from any municip ality in the five-county area rather than limiting it to the defined term "local government" which is limited to the City of Atlanta and the participa ting counties. 12. S e c ti on 2 (j) should be ame nde d so a s to cle a r ly a u t hor i ze t h e capitalizing of interest during construction as well as start-up costs with r e spe ct to each section of the system as it is begun. This section should also be amended so as to include the t otal cos t o f th e s y s tem as de fin e d in 2 (g ). 13 . S e c t ion 6 (i -2) should be ame nded t o e liminate the l ast sen tenc e or t o make i t clear h ow a showing t h at t h e l easing or pu r chas ing of a priva tely owned s y stem is essential to rapid transit. 14 .

Stell Huie at MARTA meeting, November 7, 1967 -—- re Amendments to MARTA Legislation-1968 Section 9(c) requiring judicial review of the Authority's rate making powers should be eliminated. It is necessary that the Authority have the power to commit to bond pur- chasers that it can establish rates sufficient to cover the operating cost of the system. Section 10: (a) eliminate the 6% interest limitation found in 10(d). (b) eliminate the requirement that the bonds be sold by public competitive bidding found in 10(h). (c) eliminate the requirement that the bonds be sold at par found in 10(h). (a) amend 10(g) to provide that all "obligations" rather than just bonds will have the qualities of negotiable instruments. (e) amend 10(p) to provide that the procedure of the revenue bond law as it now exists or_ may be hereafter amended will apply. It appears that the 1965 version which has since been amended may be referred to in the Act. Section 13(b) must be clarified so as to eliminate any exces- sive drain of funds by reason of relocation payments which may not be included in estimates of engineers. In this respect we must check on the federal requirements as well as procedures and policies established for relocation payments under other laws. Section 15(c) must be amended so as to provide that after a validation proceeding no contract may be declared void by reason of any conflict of interest. Greater flexibility than is allowed by Section 17 needs to be added for budgeting purposes; however it would appear that the only must requirement herein is that a deficit budget should be allowed during initial year's operations. Section 18 which provides for inspection every three years by an outside engineer is unreasonable and would be too expensive. It should be eliminated. The trust indenture securing the bonds will provide for adequate inspection for the interest of the bond holders. Section 24 must be amended so as to eliminate the requirement that the contracts with participating governments be approved in a referendum by submitting "the extent of the dollar amount or amounts involved." LQ).

Section 24(e) should be amended to eliminate the last sentence which says that the authority is subject to and limited by any local act heretofore or hereafter enacted applicable to the local governing body of any local government. This language is troublesome and we don't know exactly what it means. Section 24(k) should be amended to eliminate the prohibition of the use by the City of Atlanta of "its public funds" to support rapid transit when taxes are being levied by Fulton and DeKalb Counties on subjects of taxation within the city limits. Such provision could prevent the city from giving us the benefit of their land office without cost and ceding to us certain rights-of-way and benefits in public streets, etc. Section 24(1) should be amended to authorize contributions and support from any municipality in the five-county area rather than limiting it to the defined term "local government" which is limited to the City of Atlanta and the participating counties. Section 2(j) should be amended so as to clearly authorize the capitalizing of interest during construction as well as start-up costs with respect to each section of the system as it is begun. This section should also be amended so as to include the total cost of the system as defined in 2(g). Section 6(i-2) should be amended to eliminate the last sentence or to make it clear how a showing that the leasing or purchasing of a privately owned system is essential to rapid transit. Section 8(e) should be amended to eliminate the payment of attorneys' fees to those suing the Authority for trespass. Section 12 should be amended so as to provide the Authority with the power of eminent domain. Section 21(d) regarding the exemption of the Authority from regulation by public service commission, etc. is ambiguous and should be clarified. Section 22 should be reworded so as to allow the Authority to establish self-insurance reserves.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He felt it would be a logical and relatively inexpensive way to accommodate the projected e x plosive growth in Sandy Springs. Mr. Callaway of the DeKalb County Commission inquired about the possibility of having a station in Court Square in Decatur instead of along the railroad near Agnes Scott College. He said officials of Agnes Scott would like to have it as far from the college as possible, and officials of Decatur and DeKalb County would like to have it as near the center of Decatur as possible. Mr. Callaway mentioned urban renewal land available in the heart of Decatur, and asked that this be considered at an early date. Mr. Aubrey Couch, representing the Decatur-DeKalb Development Association, also endorsed the exploration of the use of Decatur's urban renewal land for a transit station, parking, etc. In connection with Mr. Callaway's request, Mr. Blount asked if it would be feasible to send an engineer to Decatur to talk about the requests for changes. Mr. Coil said this would be done, and Mr. Callaway requested that DeKalb County officials be included in such a meeting. Mr. Rich said the site along the railroad had been proposed as the most economical, but the plans were tentative, and public hearings would be held in all jurisdictions , and all suggestions considered before the Authority adopted a final plan. The General Manager said meetings with all of the railroads would be completed within one week . Preliminary engineering plans had been left with the engineers of the railroads for study . It was the consensus of the Boar d that the time was approaching when the Board should begin to se r iously negotiate with the policymaking heads of the rail r oads . In response to a question , Mr .

The popular report, which was to be a condensed version of the 701 report, would be in draft form for review within a week by ARMPC and MARTA, and would be printed within about three weeks. He said studies of re finement were continuing, and the engineers continued to make evaluations as to use of construction, patronage, etc., and to consider alternate solutions or revisions in the recommendations. Eric Hill As sociates Mr. Leon Eplan said the comme nts of his firm on three of the lines had been given to the engineers, the Planning Commission, and the Authority. Work on the other line would be completed soon, and the writing of the final report had begun. It was hoped their final report would be available by the end of the year.

He s a id the ame ndme nt r equ e st h a d been fil e d with the Department of Housing and Urban Development as of October 3, 1967. This extension would involve the use of Alan M. Voorhees Associates to give an objective apprai sal of tra nsit planning to date. The study was expected to cost $10,000 in local money, and to take appr ox imately three months. This study, hopefully, would satisfy the interests of the De partment o f Housing and Urban De v e lopme nt and the Bureau o f Public Roads in their efforts to coordinate various public investments in transportation, as well as their concern for the broader impact of transit on the r eg ion . Mr. Rich mentioned the pos sibil ity o f additi onal studies in the future, to examine coordination with the existi ng b u s system.

The Chairman appointed Mr. Adamson, Dr. Atwood, and Mr. Huie as a committee to work with financial advisors, bond co~nsel and Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates, to refine and review such variables as interest rates and inflation factors, . in an effort to be certain a realistic millage rate would be used in presenting a bond issue to the public. The Chairman also appointed Mr. Haverty as Chairman, together with Mr. Blount and Mr. Bishop, as a committee to work in the area of public information under the direction of Mr. George Goodwin of Bell and Stanton, to develop the best way to present the plan to the public for referendum. Upon motion by Mr. Blount, seconded by Dr. Atwood, the Board unanimously concurred in the appointment of these two committees by the Chairman.

Summary of Remarks of w. Stell Huie at MARTA meeting, November 7, 1967 - re Amendments to MARTA Legislation-1968 1. Section 9(c) requiring judicial review of the Authority's rate making powers should be eliminated. It is necessary that the Authority have the power to commit to bond purchasers that it can establish rates sufficient to cover the operating cost of the system. 2. Section 10: 3. Section 13(b) must be clarifi e d so as to eliminate any e x cessive drain of funds by reason of relocation payments which may not be included in estimates of engineers. In this respect we must check on the federal requirements as well as procedures and policies established for relocation payments under other laws. 4. Section 15(c) must be amended so as to provide that after a validation proceeding no contract may b e declared void by reason of any con f lict of interest . 5. Greater fl exibility than is allowed b y Section 17 needs to be added for budgeting purposes ; however i t would a p pear that the o n l y must r equirement her e i n is that a deficit budget should be allowed du r i n g init ial y ear's oper at i on s. 6. Sect ion 18 wh i ch provide s fo r i nspe c tion every three ye ar s b y a n ou t side eng ineer is unreasonab le a n d would b e too e x pen s ive . It s h ould b e eliminated . Th e t rust indentur e secu r ing t h e bond s will p r ovide fo r adequate i nspect ion f o r the i nteres t o f th e b ond holder s . 7. Section 24 must b e amended so as t o e limi n ate t h e r e quirement that t he contracts with p a rticipa ting governme nts be a ppr ove d in a referendum by submit t ing "the e x t e nt o f the dolla r amount o r amoun ts involved . " (a) eliminate the 6% interest limitation found in 10 (d) . (b) eliminate the requirement that the bonds be sold by public competitive bidding found in 10 (h} . · (c) eliminate the requirement that the bonds be sold at par found in l0(h}. (d} amend l0(g) to provide that all "obligations" rather than just bonds will have the qualities of negotiable instruments. (e) amend l0(p} to provide that the procedure of the revenue bond law as it now e x ists or may be hereafter amended will apply. Ii: appears that the 1965 version which has since been amended may be referred to in the Act. �------------ -- - 8. Section 24 and Section 8(i) must be amended so as to authorize the payment of participating governments of operating subsidies if it should become necessary. 9. Section 24(e) should be amended to eliminate the last sentence which says that the authority is subject to and limited by any local act heretofore or hereafter enacted applicable to the local governing body of any local government. This language is troublesome and we don't know exactly what it means. 10. Section 24(k) should be amended to eliminate the prohibition of the use by the City of Atlanta of "its public funds" to support rapid transit when taxes are being levied by Fulton and DeKalb counties on subjects of taxation within the city limits. Such provision could prevent the city from giving us the benefit of their land office without cost and cedi~g to us certain rights-of-way and benefits in public streets, etc. 11. Section 24(1) should be amended to authorize contributions and support from any municipality in the five-county area rather than limiting it to the defined term "local government" which is limited to the City of Atlanta and the participating counties. 12. Se ction 2(j) should be amended so as to clearly authorize the capitalizing of interest during construction as well as start-up costs with respect to each section of the system as it is begun. This section should also be amended so as to include the total cost of the system as defined in 2(g). 13. Section 6(i-2) should be amended to eliminate the l ast sentence or to make i t clear how a showing that the l easing or purchasing of a privately owned system is essential to rapid transit. 14. Section 8(e) should be amended to eliminate the payment of attorneys' fee s to those suing the Authority for trespass. 15. Section 12 should be amended so as to provide the Authority . with the power of eminent domain. 16. Section 2l(d) regarding the exemption of the Authority from regulation by public service commission, etc. is ambiguous and should be clarified. 17. Section 22 should be reworded s o as t o allow the Au thority to establish self-insurance reserves. - 2 - � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

In this respect we must check on the federal requirements as well as procedures and policies established for relocation payments under other laws. Section 15(c) must be amended so as to provide that after a validation proceeding no contract may be declared void by reason of any conflict of interest. Greater flexibility than is allowed by Section 17 needs to be added for budgeting purposes; however it would appear that the only must requirement herein is that a deficit budget should be allowed during initial year's operations. Section 18 which provides for inspection every three years by an outside engineer is unreasonable and would be too expensive. It should be eliminated. The trust indenture securing the bonds will provide for adequate inspection for the interest of the bond holders. Section 24 must be amended so as to eliminate the requirement that the contracts with participating governments be approved in a referendum by submitting "the extent of the dollar amount or amounts involved." 10.

' MINUTES OF THE TWENTY-FIRST MEETING OF THE METROPOLITAN ATLANTA RAPID TRANSIT AUTHORITY NOVEMBER 7, 1967 The Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority held i t s regular meeting on November 7, 1967, at 3:30 P.M., in the Glenn Building Conference Room, Atlanta.

M. Callaway, DeKalb County Commissioner Aubrey Couch, Decatur-DeKalb Development Association Don Ingram, Central Atlanta Progress, Inc. Margaret Hurst, Atlanta Constitution Mrs~ Rachel Champagne, J. D. Wingfield, Jr., Jerry Coursey, Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. Minutes Upon motion by Mr. Bishop, seconded by Mr. Adamson, the minutes of the October meeting were unanimously approved. Financial Report The General Manager presented the financial report as of October 30, 1967, which is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. He reported receipt of funds from Gwinnett County during the month, making it current in its appropriations to the Authority. Mr. Stuart said expenditures for the year would be less than anticipated, and a surplus of $105,238 was projected. There were no questions, and Mr. Bishop made a motion that the financial report be approved. Dr. Atwood seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed. Report of General Manager Mr. Stuart said over si x ty meetings had been held with various agencies in the area concerned with transportation and planning, as the 702 work of the engineers had begun to reflect preliminary drawings in more detail . Mr. Nelson, Chief Engineer, presented a map showing expressways existing, under construction , and proposed. He said the MARTA engineers were working with State Highway Department engineers on all future improvements planned for the expressway system, in an effort to coordinate all transportation planning. - 2 - �Mr. Rich suggested the possibility of a spur line off Lenox Road in the center of the freeway to Sandy Springs be considered as part of the long-range plan. He felt it would be a logical and relatively inexpensive way to accommodate the projected explosive growth in Sandy Springs. Mr. Callaway of the DeKalb County Commission inquired about the possibility of having a station in Court Square in Decatur instead of along the railroad near Agnes Scott College. He said officials of Agnes Scott would like to have it as far from the College as possible, and officials of Decatur and DeKalb County would like to have it as near the center of Decatur as possible. Mr. Callaway mentioned urban renewal land available in the heart of Decatur, and asked that this be considered at an early date. Mr. Aubrey Couch, representing the Decatur-DeKalb Development Association, also endorsed the exploration of the use of Decatur's urban renewal land for a transit station, parking, etc. In connection with Mr. Callaway's request, Mr. Blount asked if it would be feasible to send an engineer to Decatur to talk about the requests for changes. Mr. Coil said this would be done, and Mr. Callaway requested that DeKalb County officials be included in such a meeting. Mr. Rich said the site along the railroad had been proposed as the most economical, but the plans were tentative, and public hearings would be held in all jurisdictions, and all suggestions considered before the Authority adopted a final plan. The General Manager said meetings with all of the railroads would be completed within one week. Preliminary engineering plans had been left with the engineers of the railroads for study. It was the consensus of t h e Board that the time was approaching wh en the Board should begin to seriously negotiate with the policymaking heads of the railroads. In response to a question, Mr . Wal te r Douglas replied that as soon as the railroad engin eers h a d time to absorb the plans , it would be well to seek a gr eement o n operational and pol i tical feasi bility, leaving th e ques t ion of money estimates until the r e had been a f a v o rable b on d issue a n d money was available with whi c h to n egotiate. Mr. Hav e r t y made a mot ion that the 701 repo r t be sent to the head s of th e railroa d s at t h e appropr iate t ime, with a p ers onal l e tt e r from the Chairman of t h e Auth o ri t y. The motion was unanimously p a ssed. - 3 - �Reports by Consultants Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor , Bechtel Mr. John coil said the 701 report had been printed and was being bound. The popular report, which was to be a condensed version of the 701 report, would be in draft form for review within a week by ARMPC and MARTA, and would be printed within about three weeks. He said studies of refinement were continuing, and the engineers continued to make evaluations as to use of construction, patronage, etc., and to consider alternate solutions or revisions in the recommendations. Eric Hill Associates Mr. Leon Eplan said the comments of his firm on three of the lines had been given to the engineers, the Planning Commission, and the Authority. Work on the other line would be completed soon, and the writing of the final report had begun. It was hoped their final report would be available by the end of th e year. Report of ARMPC Planning Director Mr. J. D. Wingfield, Jr., ARMPC Planning Director, reviewed the proposed amendment to the Secti on 9 application, approved by the MARTA Board at its October 3rd meeting. He said the amendment request h ad b een filed with t h e Department o f Housing and Urban Development as of October 3, 1967. This extension would involve the use of Alan M. Voorhees Associates to give an objective appraisal of transit planning to date. The study was expected to cost $10,000 in local money, and to take approximately three months. This study, hopefully, would satisfy the interests o f the Departme nt o f Housing and Urban Development and the Bureau of Public Roads in their effo rts to coordinate various public investments in transportation, as well as thei r concern f o r th e broader impact of t ransit on the region. Mr. Rich mentioned the possibility o f additiona l studies in the future, to examine coordination with the existing bus system. Report of Legal Counsel Mr. Stell Hui e of Hui e and Harland, Counsel for the Authority, introduce d Mr. Lloyd Hatcher of White, Weld & Company, - 4 - �financial advisors of New York, and Mr. Dan O'Conner of King and Spalding, and Mr. John Mobley of Gambrell and Mobley, both bond counsel firms of Atlanta. Mr. Huie said several meetings had been held to develop a financial plan which would be practical, with bonds at the lowest possible interest. After discussing various ways of financing, it was recommended that a committee be appointed to work with the financial advisors, bond counsel, and Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates, to develop current recommendations which could be used in support of a bond issue. The Chairman appointed Mr. Adamson, Dr. Atwood, and Mr. Huie as a committee to work with financial advisors, bond counsel and Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates, to refine and review such variables as interest rates and inflation factors, in an effort to be certain a realistic millage rate would be used in presenting a bond issue to the public. The Chairman also appointed Mr. Haverty as Chairman, together with Mr. Blount and Mr. Bishop, as a committee to work in the area of public information under the direction of Mr. George Goodwin of Bell and Stanton, to develop the best way to present the plan to the public for referendum. Upon motion by Mr. Blount, seconded by Dr. Atwood, the Board unanimously concurred in the appointment of these two committees by the Chairman. Mr. Huie reviewed 17 proposed ame ndments to the MARTA legislation, which counsel considered important, and suggested that new legislation incorporating these amendments be submitted to the Legislature in the January session . The suggested changes are attached to and made a part of these minutes. Dr . Atwood made a moti on that Couns e l be give n authority t o dra ft l e gislation incorporating the proposed amendments and submit it to local governments and legislative representatives of local governments for study. Mr. Bishop seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. Adj ou rnment The meeting was adjourned at 5:00 P.M .

Mr. Haverty made a motion that the 701 report be sent to the heads of the railroads at the appropriate time, with a personal letter from the Chairman of the Authority.

OMITTED s The 1967 General Assembly appropriated $500,000 for the fiscal biennium July 1, 1967 through June 30, 1969. We are developing a contract with the Department of Industry and Trade Xin which budget our item appears). We are seeking to arrange to recelve these funds quarterly in advance, which is: the same schedule on which we receive funds from the local governments and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is a forecast figure based on anticipated expenditures and scheduled appropriations between August 31, 1967 and December 31, 1967. Income from local governments shown is identical to that requested and received in 1966 and 1967. This is one year’s appropriation made by the 1967 Georgia General Assembly. Note (c) above. Interest on federal funds accrues to the benefit of the United States Government and is deducted from the grand totale This is an expanded program (from 33,000 in 1966). The staff will double the circulation of "Rapid Transit Progress" ($18,000 for one year above present costs), and we will pro- vide one mailing of factual information to every registered voter in the four-—county area ($35,000) sometime prior to _ election time. Public Information Program Expansion - $53,000 (y Services of bond counsel, which will be added, anticipating a successful referendum in November 1968, which will cause the issuance of bonds. Also, requirements for legal advice will increase as our work becomes more specific. This item covers assistance as required in preparing and filing requests for federal grants. This five-man committeé, chaired by Professor Howard Menhinick, provides us with design advice and assures our communications with the local groups of design professionals. We will need a little work from economic consultants as it becomes necessary to update our financial plan.  fm (n) (o) (p) (q) he) The Corridor Impact Study will go out of date if it does not receive some attention from time to time. This is the balance to be expended on preliminary engineering on the North-South Line. This is the balance to be expended on the preliminary engineering of the East-West Line and certain planning for extensions. It also includes support by our consulting engineers’ during the © period in which we seek public acceptance. : This will be applied to transportation planning to itemize future policy needs as to relations between MARTA and other transportation system. This is for an evaluation and review of MARTA'ts plans with reference to total transportation planning in the Atlanta region.

There were no questions and the report was accepted. Report of General Manager Mr. Stuart said the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers had passed a resolution endorsing the transit projec t, and expressing a desire to establish a speakers bureau. Mr. Stuart reported on a recent trip to Louisville, to contact officials of the L. & N. Railroad and present details of the transit plan. He said the new lease for the A. & W.P. Railroad contained specific reference as to how rapid transit should be routed through the area to the west of Union Station. The General Manager said meetings had been held with railroads, planning groups, municipal officials, and with Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett County Commissioners. The proposed legislative program had been discussed with members o f the House and Senate from the four counties. He planned a trip to Washington to discuss the 1968 legislative program with Representatives Blackburn and Thompson.

Corridor Impact Study Mr. J. D. Wingfield, Jr., Planning Director for ARMPC, commented on the corridor impact study. He said the study was designed to examine potentials. Examples had been looked at, such as outlying stations, but most of the work had been done on developed sections of the lines. Mr. Wingfield said many of the ideas would depend upon the initiative of the elected officials to do early work so MARTA could take advantage of opportunities. He stressed that this study was not totally a "MARTA study," but pointed up the opportunities for local governments to act. Contract between Georgia Department of Industry MARTA & Trade and Copies of a proposed contract between MARTA and the Georgia Department of Industry & Trade were distributed for consideration. The State of Georgia had appropriated $500,000 per year to MARTA, and the Department of Industry & Trade had been desig nated the agency who would disburse these funds . The contract provided for appropriations to be paid quarterly in advance , and provided that such funds could be used for direct or indirect costs, including debt service , administration, operating , plan ning , designing , finishing, right - of- way acquisition , and roll i ng stock. - 3 - �The contract provided further that the State could appropriate real estate, in lieu of cash. It also gave the State a reversionary interest in the property of the Authority, in the same proportion as the State's appropriation to MARTA. The contract required an annual audit of the books of MARTA to be sent to the State. The contract was for 50 years, and would cover subsequent appropriations as - they were made. After discussion of the contract provisions, the following resolution was presented: BE IT RESOLVED that Henry L. Stuart, General Manager, and Glenn E. Bennett, Secretary, be and hereby are authorized and directed to execute on behalf of this Authority a contract substantially in the form as presented to this Board, subject to approval of counsel, with the State of Georgia, by and through its Department of Industry & Trade, for the transfer and payment to this Authority of funds appropriated and to be appropriated by the Legislature and Governor of Georgia for the purposes of this Authority; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that said General Manager and Secretary be and hereby are authorized and directed to execute any and all further documents as may be reasonably necessary to the transfer and payment of said funds; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Citizens Trust Company be and hereby is designated as the depository for said funds and that all withdrawals therefrom shall be only over the signatures of either the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board of this Authority and either the General Manager or the Chief Engineer of this Authority.

(b) OMITTED . : - a — ih a * _— ie (c) The 1967 General Assembly appropriated $500,000 for the fiscal biennium July 1, 1967 through June 30, 1969. We are developing a contract with the Department of Industry and Trade (in which budget our item appears). We are seeking to arrange to receive these funds quarterly in advance, which is: the same schedule on which we receive funds from the local governments and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. (d) This is a forecast figure based on anticipated expenditures and scheduled appropriations between August 31, 1967 and December 31, 1967. (e) Income from local governments shown is identical to that requested and received in 1966 and 1967. (f£) This is one year's Sppropy ateoe made by the 1967 Georgia General Assembly. Note (c) above. (g) Interest on federal funds accrues to the benefit of the United States Government and is deducted from the grand total. (h) This is an expanded program (from 33,000 in 1966). The staff will double the circulation of "Rapid Transit Progress" ($18,000 for one year above present costs), and we will pro- vide one mailing of factual information to every registered voter in the four-—county area ($35,000) sometime prior to -« ,, @lection time. Public Information Program Expansion - $53,000 (1) Services of bond counsel, which will be added, anticipating a successful referendum in November 1968, which will cause . the issuance of bonds. Also, requirements for legal advice will increase as our work becomes more specific. (j) This item covers assistance as required in preparing and filing requests for federal grants. (k) This five-man committee, chaired by Professor Howard Menhinick, ; provides us with design advice and assures our communications with the local groups of design professionals. (1) We will need a little work from economic consultants as it becomes necessary to update our financial plan.  ee ee i = fn) The Corridor Impact Study will go out of date if it does not receive some attention from time to time. (n) This is the balance to be expended on preliminary engineering on the North-South Line. (o) This is the balance to be expended on the preliminary engineering _ of the East-West Line and certain planning for extensions. It also includes support by our consulting engineers’ during the period in which we seek public acceptance. be (p) This will be applied to transportation planning to itemize " future policy needs as to relations between MARTA and other transportation system. (q) This is for an evaluation and review of MARTA's plans with reference to total transportation planning in the Atlanta region. ‘(r) The application for our 1968 work program will cover the followin projects: ; le Preliminary Ownership Study --------~---~-~—-~----~~---.~. $ 50,000 This is the beginning of title search operations on the 30-mile system. Getting started on this in 1968 will save one year in the right of way acquisition program. 22 Accounting & Financial Control System Design Study -- $ 25,000 This work element sets up the system of accounts and finan- clal controls for the Authority. Given a successful bond referendum, we will be into right of way acquisition immediately and some construction within nine months. Finel design contracts will be ready soon after the referenda and our budget will total millions. The Comptroller's office must go into operation with zero time lag. 3. Plans for the Preservation of Historical Sites ~------ $ 3,000 Our routes and station sites will be examined by a committee of the Atlanta Historical Society. It will is t recommend to us course of action to preserve our heritage where rapid transit operations affect sites or structures of historical significance. 4. Relocation Program Desiqn ~-------~-<=-<--9-<------------ S$ 13,000 This work will define the job ahead, in detail, so that we can make application under our future capital programs to achieve successful relocation as required by our construction progress. Sae Preliminary Architectural and Engineering Design of of Transit Center—--—..—.~.2--— noe $300,000 The purpose of this work is to further the technical development of Transit Center and the adjacent line structures. Items to be considered under this work are as follows; — (s) (a) Circulation and access of pedestrians, buses and automobiles to Transit Center. (b) Methods ef construction. (c) Types of structures. (d) Utility and sub-surface investigations. (e) Establish electrical and mechanical spatial requirements. (£) Develop architectural preliminary plans. (g) Prepare preliminary specifications. (h) Establish preliminary right-of-way plans. (i) Construct architectural study model. 5be Development of Transit Center -- $450,000 The purpose of this work is to make surveys, borings and develop plans to bring the design of Transit Center and its approaches to a point just short of architectural finishes and contract documents. By doing this in 1968, we can start first construction on this 22% million complex in the summer of 1969. This work is subject to final adoption of routes, station locations, and acceptance of the work items in 5a above. This work will include: (a) Make surveys. (b) Take soil borings. (c) Establish horizontal and vertical controls. (d) Prepare utility plans. (e) Prepare base maps. (£) Develop design criteria. 6. Architectural Studies $ 50,000 This work includes the much discussed consulting Architect. There are many design elements that should be constant or confined within prescribed limits system-wide. Consistency, good looks and economy demand these specifications set up by the Consulting Architect. This agreements provides for engineering support not Suhenwses covered in existing contracts. ee, 6e  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
