Minutes The minutes of the meeting of May 2nd had been mailed to members prior to the meeting . Mr. Bishop made a motion, seconded by Mr. Haverty, that the reading of the minutes be dispensed with and that they be unanimously approved. Mr. Huie called a tt ention to the fact that minutes of March 2, 1966, June 28, 1966, January 3 , 1967, and April 4, 1967, meetings had been approved at meetings which did not have a quorum present, and suggested that the Board ratify approval of those documents. Mr . Bishop made a motion that approval of these minutes be ratified , Mr. McMillan seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. - 2 - �Financial Report The General Manager presented the financial report as of May 31, 1967, which is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. Mr. Stuart commented that Gwinnett County was the only government in arrears on its commitments to the Authority. Income from interest had been slightly less than anticipated because less money had been invested, due to consultant payments having been made. There were no q'u estions, and the financial report was accepted. Progress Reports General Manager A meeting was held at 2:00 o'clock immediately prior to the regular Board meeting, for the purpose of hearing progress reports from the consultants. Engineers from Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel, Mr. Philip Hammer of Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates, and Mr. Leon Eplan of Eric Hill Associates gave detailed reports on rapid transit consultant contracts in force. This was well attended by some 50 individuals, including local consultants, planners, architects, etc. Mr. Stuart said this would be a regular meeting each month, and it was hoped it would serve as a tool for information and coordination of efforts among the various governments and agencies concerned. Mr. Stuart said Cousins Properties, Inc., in development of the air rights in the gulch, had allowed SO-foot corridors between columns as well as a Y track, to accommodate requirements of the transit system. Liaison continued with Mr. Portman in the development of Peachtree Center. Mr. Stuart had met with airport developers and with principals in the Nasher project, and reported cooperation from both groups. 11 11 The General Manager had made nine public addresses during the month. Mr. Stuart reported on a conference in Washington, D. C., on May 22nd. The meeting was called by HUD, and was on design of urban transportation. An exhibit had been prepared by MARTA with the help of the engineers, and Mr. Stuart showed slides of the e x hibit, and taped excerpts of addresses by Mr. Charles Haar and others were presented . A brief report of the recent national meeting of the Institute for Rapid Transit held in Atlanta was made by the General Manager . - 3 - �Mr. Stuart said Aldermen Cook and Griggs, Representative Winkles, and others had recently toured the proposed transit lines. The General Manager announced that the Advisory Committee, discussed at the May meeting, had been formed, and was composed of the following professionals from the principal design disciplines in Atlanta: Chairman - Professor Howard K. Menhinick Richard L. Aeck, representing American Institute · of Architects Richard M. Forbes, representing American Institute of Planners H. Boyer Marx, representing American Society of Landscape Architects Roy J. Boston, representing American Society of Professional Engineers The purpose of this committee would be twofold: (1) to provide professional review of design work and (2) to discuss proper relationships between the several consultants. Mr. Stuart asked for approval of an amendment to the 1967 budget, adding an expenditure item of $5,000 for fees to this committee. Mr. Haverty made a motion that this amendment to the budget be approved, Mr. Bishop seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Huie had visited the State Department of Industry and Trade. Mr. Huie felt contractual arrangements could probably be made with the State for funds on a quarterly basis during the first two years. The State had appropriated $250,000 for the next two years, limited by the Constitutional provision restricting the State's contribution to ten percent of the cost of any one project. Consultants Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel Mr. John Coil gave examples of photogrammetry and aerial photography and the methods used to show projected plans and profiles of the system. The engineers had examined the gulch area further to determine the best rights-of-way for the transit system . In formation was being transmitted to the State Properties Control Commission . Preliminary work had begun on a contract for taking soil samples in the central and east- west lines . Mr . Coil said one company in the joint venture would do preliminary des_ign of special structures in the system. Liaison wor k on coor dinating plans for the airport and transit system continued. Effor ts t o - 4 - �coordinate the Highway Department's plans for the Brookwood interchange had been made. Mr. Coil said the firm had reviewed architectural definitives and had four which showed concepts for a transit center. The Chairman recognized the importance of coordinating plans for the transit lines to the airport, but cautioned the engineers against too detailed plans at this time in view of the realistic time lag on this line. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates Mr. Philip Hammer reported that final figures for financing the system would be completed within a few days. He said there had been some changes in annual requirements which would more advantageously fit into a financial plan and the receipt of federal funds. He mentioned a plan staging the development of the system so that participation on the part of the outlying counties would begin simultaneously with construction in those areas. Other Business The Board accepted the resignation of Mr. Robert W. Adamson as Treasurer of MARTA. Mr. Adamson had been appointed as a member to replace Mr. Mills B. Lane, Jr. At Mr. Adamson's suggestion, the Board agreed to ask Mr. Herbert Dickson, Executive Vice President of the C. & S. Bank, to serve as Treasurer of MARTA. The Chairman reported that Fulton County Commission would soon appoint a replacement for Mr. Pulver.

I do not foresee public financing at this level during the current year, and only with a smash- ing success can I even predict it for next year. In the mean- while, I am very glad to have your resume and will keep it at the top of my file which has been set up to show us the resources that may be available when it is necessary to enlarge our staff.

May 15, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Richard H. Rich, Chairman Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority FROM: Glenn E. Bennett, Executive Director, Atl~nta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission, Secretary, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Tr Authority SUBJECT: t · Some Planning Principles and Non-Engineering Aspects of Rapid Transit I would like to set down here some of the basic philosophy which has guided us in transit planning, and also to mention possibilities for the future. Transit in Atlanta will be a tremendous influence; it will be the biggest single factor in guiding growth in many parts of the Metropolitan Area. The Planning Commission concluded in 1960 that a balanced transportation system with transit would (1) help shape the pattern of development of the region in a desirable and efficient way, and (2) provide the necessary access to central Atlanta so that the orderly growth of employment and business activity could take place there. The Planning Commission is concerned with serving the economic need and shaping the metropolitan area. MARTA has been created primarily to "build a railroad" in accordance with the generalized plan which has been tested against planning factors. We have come to the engineering stage now. This is a time when cost estimates need to be based on specifics. If the Planning Commission could have built a railroad, we would not have needed MARTA. As we make decisions on precise locations we are continuing to test and re-test basic assumptions made earlier with respect to population growth , density, economic change , and many social factors. Serving the disadvantaged people , the educational institutions , the new centers of interest , such as the stadium , auditorium , and cul tural center , are of great concern to us at this stage . We are �r~ - aware of the opportunity we have for relating harmoniously all of the exciting activities in the developmental stages in central Atlanta, and upgrading the City's aesthetics and urban design. These are non-engineering factors which are currently receiving attention from planners. The present work program of the staff of the ARMPC includes an updating of earlier regional land use plans. In connection with this we have developed statements of region a l goals related to transportation. These are polic y statements. Th ey set up criteria against which transportation improvements can be measured . For example, one section deals with aesthetic standards as follows : "New or improved transportation facilities should be located and designed so as to enhance the appearance of the region, with appropriate regard to topography , soils, wooded areas and water bodies , as well as the character of e x isting and projected man-made development." Th e objective of a regional plan is to guide new growth into sensible patterns, and discourage extensively scatte red urban de v elopment which is wasteful of land a nd other resourc e s. Transportation s y stems are the greatest single influence on deve lopm e nt. Consequently, planners study the effects of any proposed transportation improv ements, such as roads and highways of all categories and transit, on future land uses. Here are a couple of paragraphs from our polic y statement on the pr e servation of neighborhoods a nd community v alu e s, a lso on pres e r v ing freedom of choice : "Neighborhoods are considered the basic unit of resid ential community de ve lopment. They may be defined in one or mor e of se ve ral way s : b y tr a di t ion, th rough identification b y th e r e sid e nts , from obser ved patt e rns of common a lity in ag e a nd ch a racter of d eve lopme nt , by natur a l o r ma n-m a de ba rr i e r s, a s th e limits of local trade or s er vice areas , a nd so forth Whe re t hey c a n be d e fine d, th e integrit y of sound or r e n e wable neighborhoods s hould be protect e d : ma jor tr a nspor t ation art e ri e s sh ould be lo cated a nd design e d so a s to bou nd , not penetrate , such a re a s . " "Re sidentia l de v elopmen t a nd renewa l s h ould be pl a n ned a n d c o nd ucted s o a s to make av ail abl e in e v ery sector of the reg ion h ousing of a wid e r an ge o f t ype s and c o s t , thus a llowi ng t he indi v i du al max i mum freed om to choo s e where he wi shes to l ive . To enhance t h is fr ee d om of choice , all resident i a l area s s hould hav e comp a rab le acce ssib ility to a r ea s of emp l oyment , re c reati onal and c omme r cial acti v ity . Pub li c t r ansportation - 2 - �facilities should provide this comparable accessibility for residents least able to depend on private transportation." All of this ARMPC planning policy relative to transportation is consistent with the objectives of the H oU oD o programs. Federal money has improved and expanded planning all over the country; there's no doubt about it. Atlanta can boast a little over having the oldest publicly supported metropolitan planning agency in the United States. Because of local initiative back in 1947 we ,have had metropolitan planning long before the feds got into the business. Now , many cities have agencies something like ours, but because we had a foundation of area-wide planning we could do a comprehensive transit plan in 1961, a nature preserve plan in 1962, an airport plan last year, code studies two years ago, and carry on many other activities in the field of economic and social research. HUD knows this. It has a bearing on present transit work; the transit routes are a part of the overall metropolitan plan and not independent and separate. We are now working on area-wide water and sewer problems , capital improvement programming, preparation for the 1970 census, and other items in addition to MARTA non-engineering work. HUD knows this. Sidelines include metropolitan training schools for police officers and improved communications and records systems for law enforcement agencies, to mention a few. Let's look at Central Atlanta. This is a concern of ARMPC because it's the h e art of the region. It is the subject of much study by the City of Atlanta in the community improvement plan (CIP } which is aimed toward the establishment of priorities for redevelopment of land all over the City. Now that Central Atlanta Progress , I nc. is organized and well staffed, we have the opportunity to better serve the original purpose of rapid transit with respect to downtown interests, both private and public. Growth and development occurs in Atlanta with or without public planning. Portman's Peachtree Center is far along; cousins' air rights project is starting with an 8,000-car park ing facilit y ; the Nasher Park Place 18-acre air rights project is under study by architects, planners, and economists , and Georgia State College has a big and significant expansion program . La ter this year contracts are e x pected to be let for Georgia Plaza Park , a landscaped open space with underground parking garage. The State, Fulton County , and the City of Atlanta are cooperating on this venture which will result in an attractive government - centered public park which will upgrade the area near the Capitol . Now we have the opportunity to coordinate all of these activities and others , and create before long a central At lanta plan with both short-range and long -range goals. Transit is an integral part of any downtown plan , and our present alignments of routes wi ll tie together all the major developments mentioned above . - 3 - �A corridor impact planning study is now in progress, as you know. It will show the relation of transit to low-income groups and their economic and social needs. Other considerations are the relation of transit to educational institutions, vocational schools, community centers, and renewal projects. The transit corridors, the lines of the system, will be pulsing and throbbing with growth and our efforts to properly direct and control these dynamics must never cease. Planners are now working with both private and public agencies in an attempt to identify the many possibilities which the transit corridors offer us for enhancing community values, serving the largest number of citizens, and guiding development toward most sensible and efficient patterns. In our discussions with H.U.D. officials and when we talk to. our transit visitors who will be in town next week, I think we ought to keep some of these points in mind.

Text Any textual data included in the document May 15, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Richard H. Rich, Chairman Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority FROM: Glenn E. Bennett, Executive Director, Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission, Secretary, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Tr Authority SUBJECT: Some Planning Principles and Non-Engineering Aspects of Rapid Transit I would like to set down here some of the basic philosophy which has guided us in transit planning, and also to mention possibilities for the future. Transit in Atlanta will be a tremendous influence; it will be the biggest single factor in guiding growth in many parts of the Metropolitan Area. The Planning Commission concluded in 1960 that a balanced transpor- tation system with transit would (1) help shape the pattern of development of the region in a desirable and efficient way, and (2) provide the necessary access to central Atlanta so that the orderly growth of employment and business activity could take place there. The Planning Commission is concerned with serving the economic need and shaping the metropolitan area. MARTA has been created primarily to "build a railroad" in accordance with the generalized plan which has been tested against planning factors. We have come to the en- gineering stage now. This is a time when cost estimates need to be based on specifics. If the Planning Commission could have built a railroad, we would not have needed MARTA. As we make decisions on precise locations we are continuing to test and re-test basic assumptions made earlier with respect to popula- tion growth, density, economic change, and many social factors. Serving the disadvantaged people, the educational institutions, the new centers of interest, such as the stadium, auditorium, and cul- tural center, are of great concern to us at this stage. We are aware of the opportunity we have for relating harmoniously all of the exciting activities in the developmental stages in central Atlanta, and upgrading the City's aesthetics and urban design. These are non-engineering factors which are currently receiving attention from planners. The present work program of the staff of the ARMPC includes an up- dating of earlier regional land use plans. In connection with this we have developed statements of regional goals related to transportation. These are policy statements. They set up cri- teria against which transportation improvements can be measured. For example, one section deals with aesthetic standards as follows: "New or improved transportation facilities should be located and designed so as to enhance the appearance of the region, with appropriate regard to topography, soils, wooded areas and water bodies, as well as the character of existing and projected man-made develop- ment." The objective of a regional plan is to guide new growth into sen- sible patterns, and discourage extensively scattered urban develop- ment which is wasteful of land and other resources. Transportation systems are the greatest single influence on development. Conse- quently, planners study the effects of any proposed transportation improvements, such as roads and highways of all categories and transit, on future land uses. Here are a couple of paragraphs from our policy statement on the preservation of neighborhoods and community values, also on pre- serving freedom of choice: “Neighborhoods are considered the basic unit of resi- dential community development. They may be defined in one or more of several ways: by tradition, through identification by the residents, from observed patterns of commonality in age and character of development, by natural or man-made barriers, as the limits of local trade or service areas, and so forth Where they can be defined, the integrity of sound or renewable neigh- borhoods should be protected: major transportation arteries should be located and designed so as to bound, not penetrate, such areas." "Residential development and renewal should be planned and conducted so as to make available in every sector of the region housing of a wide range of types and cost, thus allowing the individual maximum freedom to choose where he wishes to live. To enhance this free- dom of choice, all residential areas should have com- parable accessibility to areas of employment, recrea- tional and commercial activity. Public transportation facilities should provide this comparable accessibility for residents least able to depend on private transpor- tation." All of this ARMPC planning policy relative to transportation is con- sistent with the objectives of the H.U.D. programs. Federal money has improved and expanded planning all over the country; there's no doubt about it. Atlanta can boast a little over having the oldest publicly supported metropolitan planning agency in the United States. Because of local initiative back in 1947 we have had metro- politan planning long before the feds got into the business. Now, many cities have agencies something like ours, but because we had a foundation of area-wide planning we could do a comprehensive transit plan in 1961, a nature preserve plan in 1962, an airport plan last year, code studies two years ago, and carry on many other activities in the field of economic and social research. HUD knows this. It has a bearing on present transit work; the transit routes are a part of the overall metropolitan plan and not independent and separate. We are now working on area-wide water and sewer problems, capital improvement programming, preparation for the 1970 census, and other items in addition to MARTA non-engineering work. HUD knows this. Sidelines include metropolitan training schools for police officers and improved communications and records systems for law enforcement agencies, to mention a few. Let's look at Central Atlanta. This is a concern of ARMPC because it's the heart of the region. It is the subject of much study by the City of Atlanta in the community improvement plan (CIP) which is aimed toward the establishment of priorities for redevelopment of land all over the City. Now that Central Atlanta Progress, Inc. is organized and well staffed, we have the opportunity to better serve the original purpose of rapid transit with respect to downtown interests, both private and public. Growth and development occurs in Atlanta with or without public planning. Portman's Peachtree Center is far along; Cousins' air rights project is starting with an 8,000-car parking facility; the Nasher Park Place 18-acre air rights project is under study by architects, planners, and economists, and Georgia State College has a big and significant expansion program. Later this year contracts are expected to be let for Georgia Plaza Park, a landscaped open space with underground parking garage. The State, Fulton County, and the City of Atlanta are cooperating on this venture which will result in an attractive government-centered public park which will upgrade the area near the Capitol. Now we have the opportunity to coordinate all of these activities and others, and create before long a central Atlanta plan with both short-range and long-range goals. Transit is an integral part of any downtown plan, and our present alignments of routes will tie together all the major developments mentioned above. A corridor impact planning study is now in progress, as you know. Tt will show the relation of transit to low-income groups and their economic and social needs. Other considerations are the relation of transit to educational institutions, vocational schools, com- munity centers, and renewal projects. The transit corridors, the lines of the system, will be pulsing and throbbing with growth and our efforts to properly direct and control these dynamics must never cease. Planners are now working with both private and public agencies in an attempt to identify the many possibilities which the transit corridors offer us for enhancing community values, serving the largest number of citizens, and guiding development toward most sensible and efficient patterns. In our discussions with H.U.D. officials and when we talk to. our transit visitors who will be in town next week, I think we ought to keep some of these points in mind. I want to take this opportunity, Dick, to express our gratitude to you for the time and energy you are putting into this task, which is at times extremely difficult and complex. Without your leader- ship it would be much more so!  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Minutes The minutes of the April meeting were unanimously approved by the members present. Due to lack of a quorum it was agreed that this action would be ratified by the Board at the June meeting. Financial Report The General Manager reported that payments from the local governments, with the exception of Gwinnett County, were on schedule. Gwinnett County remains in arrears for the fourth quarter of 1966 and the first quarter of 1967. Staff costs were running according to budget, and a payment of $29,939.00 had been made to the Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission in 1967, completing a commitment of $61,188.00 for 1966 and 1967, as matching funds for 701 Project Ga. P- 49. The statement is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes . Progress Reports General Manager Mr . Stuart said studies were continuing on the feasibility of an e x tension of the West Line to ser v e Si x Flags Over Georgia in Cobb County . It was belie ved th a t r ight - of-wa y into this area would not be difficult to secure . It had not been determi n ed whether or not the patr on a ge would mak e this e x te n sion economic ally feasible , in v iew of the s eason al natur e of the r ec r eation f acility. - 2 - �The General Manager said he .was selecting a group of five professionals from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, city planning, and engineering, who would comprise an advisory committee to the Authority for the purpose of reviewing plans as the work moves from preliminary engineering into urban design. Mr. Stuart said the organizational meeting of this committee would be held soon, and he would ask for approval of an amendment to the budget at the next meeting, to cover retainer fees for this committee. It was announced that Mr. Robert L. Adamson, Treasurer of the Authority, had been appointed a Director to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Mills B. Lane, Jr., a City of Atlanta appointee, who had recently resigned. The General Manager asked for approval of an expenditure of $2,000.00 for annual membership dues in the Institute for Rapid Transit. He said the annual workshop was helpful and provided an exchange of information with the eleven member operating or emerging transit authorities in the country. After discussion of the program of the Institute and the benefits of such a membership, it was decided that the $2,000.00 annual dues could not be justified at this time. The annual meeting of the Institute for Rapid Transit, to be held in Atlanta May 24-26, will provide an opportunity for members of the Board to observe its work. Mr. Stuart showed slides of operating transit systems in Montreal, Toronto and Philadelphia, having recently returned from a trip to observe these systems. He said each system had gotten started without federal aid. A comparison of the systems pointed out continuing improvements in materials, decor, maintenance, and technology. The General Manager announced that the Department of Housing and Urban Development was sponsoring a one-day meeting in Washington on May 22, on design in urban transportation. At the request of HUD, the Authority would provide an exhibit at that meeting, showing plans and progress of the Atlanta system, and Messrs. Stuart, Elliott and Nelson would attend. Mr. Rich said this would be an important meeting, and requested all members who could go to do so. Mr. Stuart had also asked the newly formed Advisory Committee to attend. Public Information Director Mr. Elliott reported on his recent trip to San Francisco. He had gathered information from the Bay Area Rapid Transit Dis trict to assist in the development of the Authority's public - 3 - �information program. A tentative outline of his findings would be used in the Authority's planning for a bond referendum. He showed slides of the BARTD rapid transit system now under construction in San Francisco. Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor-Bechtel Mr. Coil reported on a recent meeting with the Rapid Transit Committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce at whi'ch time this Committee was brought up to date on planning and engineering progress. Enlargements of recently acquired aerial photographs were being assembled to support the Authority's display at the Urban Design Conference in Washington on May 22. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates Mr. Greene reported briefly for Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates and stated they were now receiving final cost estimates from Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor-Bechtel covering the entire rapid transit system, broken down into five stages of development. A complete draft copy of HGS's report would soon be presented to the Authority and the Planning Commission for review. Mr. Bennett stated he had received approval from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to extend the completion date of 701 Project Ga. P-49 to August 2, 1967. The extension of time had been necessitated because of a delay in receipt of information from the State Highway Department. The approval of the extension would permit all work to be completed according to contracts. The Chairman introduced Mr. Earl W. Nelson, newly employed Chief Engineer for the Transit Authority, and welcomed him on behalf of the Board. Mr . Rich reminded the Board of the luncheon meeting on Tuesday, May 9, at the Commerce Club, at which time representati v es from the supporting governments would be brought up to date on rapid transit progress in the metropolitan area . At this time certain legislation would be discussed which the Authority would seek to hav e appr oved in the ne x t session of the Gene r al Assembly . Inquiry was made regarding the r ecov ery of Mr. L. D . Milto n f r om a recent oper atio n, and it was the e xpressed sentiment of the Boar d that he would soon be completely r eco v e r ed a n d back at his o f fice . - 4 - �Mr. Rich requested that maps of all areas under discussion be displayed at future meetings of the Board. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 4:30 P.M. June Meeting Date Due to the absence of the Chairman from the City on the next regular meeting date of the Board, June 6, it was suggested that it be postponed until 3:30 P.M., Friday, June 9. Members will be contacted in the interim in order to determine if this date is satisfactory. - 5 - � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Financial Report The financial report was presented by the Vice-Chairman in the absence of the General Manager who was in Montreal attending the Rail Transit Group Conference of the American Transit Association. The statement reflected that Gwinnett County was in arrears for the 4th quarter of 1966 and 1st quarter of 1967 and Clayton County for the 1st quarter of 1967. Appropriations for the 1st quarter had been recei v ed from the City of Atlanta and DeKalb County.

After some discussion the report was accepted by the Board and is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. - 2- �Parsons Brinckerhoff-Tudor-Bechtel Mr. Coil stated the contractor for aerial photography was continuing his work in connection with field measurements in order to provide back-up information for photogrammetry. This work is proceeding on schedule and PBTB expects to receive the first completed work in about 3 or 4 weeks. Patronage studies are being processed in New York utilizing a computer. This data is being incorporated into the patronage study here. Several alternate means for transferring rapid transit cars on the EastWest to the North-South Lines has been considered. More study is being given to this before making a recommendation in this area. Mr. Coil said the Technical Coordinating Committee had been briefed concerning the proposed rapid transit system and that Planning Directors of the governments supporting MARTA had been supplied with maps of the proposed system. Initial discussions with the various local governments is scheduled to begin next week. Preparation of text and supporting drawings in connection with the report on the 701 Contract was proceeding and should be completed in approximately 6 weeks. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates are in the process of preparing certain aspects of this work which will be incorporated in the total plan. He stated that they had met with the City Consultant on plans for construction at the airport and would continue to consult with airport officials from time to time to keep abreast of developments. Mr. Rich inquired as to the possibility of running a spur of the transit line to the airport if the new air terminal is not constructed within a reasonable period of time. Mr. Coil said all possibilities for serving both the airport and the surrounding community would be considered. Mr. Haverty asked that consideration be given to the extension of the West Line from I-285 across the Chattahoochee River into Cobb County to serve the new amusement area, Six Flags Over Georgia, if income derived from such a move would justify it. Mr. Rich asked PBTB to give consideration to such a plan in order to protect future right-of-way through the industrial section in that area. He instructed Mr. Coil to meet with the General Manager and report at the next meeting on the feasibility of a study to extend the West Line to Six Flags Over Georgia. Mr. Blount said the Stone Mountain Authority had asked about the possibility of extending the East Line to Stone Mountain and this should also be considered. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates Mr. Garcia said they were currently assembling two final reports , the first being a segment of the joint 701 report pre pared by PBTB and HGS which will summarize their analysis, consider potential sources of financing, and contain a formula - 3- �for distributing the local share of MARTA's costs to the five counties and the City of Atlanta, allowing for the inclusion or exclusion of local areas such as Cobb County. The second report is a comprehensive compilation of HGS work materials produced primarily for the benefit of MARTA and ARMPC staffs. HGS's study of possible new sources of funds reveals that a sales tax would produce the required volume of revenue, is easily implemented and is efficient. He stated there had been some discussion of a statewide sales ta~- distributed back to local governments on a per capita basis. HGS is currently analyzing the potential revenues from such a tax for the metropolitan area and will include these findings in the final report in addition to their estimates of the revenue from a local option sales tax and other possible sources. Further investigations are being made of the availability of potential federal funds. Mr. Garcia stated their representatives would like to meet with members of MARTA prior to putting together their final analysis and report. MARTA Award Messrs. Rich and Elliott had returned during the meeting from Jekyll Island where the Chairman had accepted the distinguished meritorious award presented to the Transit Authority by the Association County Commissioners of Georgia at their Annual Convention April 2-4 at the Buccaneer Motel, Jekyll Island, Georgia.

( would be substantially lower than in the case of government payments to underwrite MARTA bond issues. This is true because the overall financi_n g cost is lower and the gross rather than the net d_:l..gest is used as basis for the calculations. The lower interest charges are by all odds the most important factor in this lower impact, the difference between_ gross and net digest being relatively small. As already mentioned, however, the reduced millage rate does not necessarily produce a lower tax for the residential taxpayer because the homestead exemption is not applicable~ Following are representative figures on the tax impact of the maximum millage under GO bond financi_n g, and these figures might be compared with the earlier figures for servici_n g MARTA revenue bonds: HAMMIR ,8R IINl . l l l l R AIIOOIATII �t~ - ~. . -----· -- ------------ -- - -- - - -- - - - ' •; ,. .

The act establishing MARTA clearly rec_o gnized this possibility, as follows: "A local government may elect any.method provided in this section to finance the participation required of it in whole or in part, and the election of one method shall not preclude the election of another method with respect thereto or with respect to any additional or supplementary participation determined to be necessary ." As a purely practical matter, there would be a number of distinct advantages o both Fulton and DeKalb counties in employi_n g both methods .

This is true because the overall financing cost is lower and the gross rather than the net digest is used as basis for the calculations. The lower interest charges are by all odds the most important factor in this lower impact, the difference between gross and net digest being relatively small. As already mentioned, however, the reduced millage rate does not necessarily produce a lower tax for the residential taxpayer because - the homestead exemption is not applicable. Following are representative figures on the tax impact of the maximum millage under GO bond financing, and these figures might be compared with the earlier figures for servicing MARTA revenue bonds: Di ete . -49. e HAMMER,.GREENE.DGILER AGBBOGIATER oe ee ee ee Nes de nee ete tg fe ne ced ec me fe aes on OS pn Se ne ane oe Pe se eee — eg ee ee ee Fulton DeKalb Maximum millage needed for GO Bond financing 2.9 1.4 Years of maximum 1973-78 1973-74 Annual cost of maximum millage to ~ owner of loan with’ market value of: $15 ,.000 $15.00 $ 8.40 20 ;000 $20.00 $11.20 25,000 $25.00 $14.00 The projected gross and net tax digests/used as a basis for all of the foregoing calculations are shown in Chart 2. Combination of Approaches There is no reason, of course, why both methods of financing might not be employed by the local governments in meeting their obligations to MARTA gor constructing the rapid transit system -- the collection of property taxes to support the issuance of MARTA bonds plus the issuance of general obligation . bonds by the governments themselves. | The act establishing MARTA clearly recognized this possibility, as follows: "A local government may elect any.method provided in this section to finance the participation required of it in whole or in part, and the election of one method shall not preclude the election of another method with respect thereto or with respect to any additional or supplementary participation determined to be necessary." As a purely practical matter, there would be a number of distinct advantages to both Fulton and DeKalb counties in employing both methods. It would make possible the use of available GO bond capacity with the consequent saving in interest charges but it would not demand too much of that capacity in competition ith other capital improvement needs. It would give each government greater =50- HAMMER,GREGENE,BILER AGBOOIATER cu > aus ee ee et ee ee The reason for the lower local requirements for the 52-mile system in the 1973-76 period, of course, is the projected availability of $100,000,000 more in Federal money. This fact, plus the sharing of the local cost by four instead of two governments, would produce an actually lower de- mand upon Fulton and DeKalb for the larger system in a number of years. ad 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1S77 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 et seq Table 9.

F i na ncia l Repo r t : The f i n a n c ia l r e p o rt wa s p r es e nted b y the Ge n e r a l Manag e r. The s t a t eme nt r e f lected the fact that the counties o f Clayto n, DeKalb and Gwi n nett were in arr ear s f o r t h ei r 1 967 appro priations. The Gen e ral Manager said h e had bee n in c o n t act with - 2 - �these governments and expected payments soon. After a brief discussion of the format of the statement, it was accepted by the Board. The financial statement is attached hereto and made a part of these minutes. Progress Reports: 1. General Manager: Mr. Stuart reported on a recent trip to W3shington, and mentioned visits with Congressmen Fletcher Thompson and Ben Blackburn. He said he had sent information about MARTA to each of the Congressmen to inform them of ~he plans for the area and to solicit their help in Congress. Mr. Stuart had toured the proposed southern line of the system and mentioned possible alternates. The Chairman and others discussed the need for the southern line to serve the stadium if possible. An application to the State of Georgia for transit funds was being prepared, and Mr. Stuart said it would be submitted at the appropriate time. 2. Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel: Mr. John Coil, Resident Manager of Parsons, BrinckerhoffTudor, Bechtel, reported that his firm had studied alternate southern lines and had developed an alternate which would generally follow the south expressway. In answer to questions by members of the Board, he said access of this proposed alternate southern line to the airport terminal should depend upon plans of the local governments to build a new air terminal. Mr. Coil said coordinated timing of construction of the two proposed facilities would be extremely important. The engineers felt that in the absence of firm plans for relocating the terminal, the proposed transit line should not be designed to serve that particular location. Detailed design of proposed construction in the gulch area had been reviewed with contractors, who had cooperated in the design and placement of supporting columns of buildings so as not to interfere with the transit system's proposed turn - around in the area . - 3 - �Mr. Coil said the contractor for aerial photography, MAPCO, Inc., had been given authority to complete photogrammetry on the east, west, and central lines, in that order of priority. Preliminary cost estimates for the 63.5 mile system had been completed and the engineers were ready to work with the economic consultants toward further refinement of those estimates. Parsons, Brinckerhoff-Tudor, Bechtel had submitted a plan and profile of the proposed Atlanta system to their San Francisco office. Through the use of computers there, a program could be developed showing most economical speeds and timing between stations. 3. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates: Mr. Lawrence Greene of Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates reported that a new set of tentative cost estimates by six breakdowns had been submitted to them by the engineers. More information was to be submitted on estimated patronage and a cost schedule by years. The Hammer firm was developing final figures on required participation by the local governments. Analyses of costs being developed would include the total system, including the Cobb County portion. In response to questions of Boa rd members, it was e x plained further by Mr. Greene and Mr. Coil that cost estimates would be prepared for (1) the initial system; (2) the intermediate system (about 36 miles, with e x tensions) and (3) the tota l system of approx ima tely 63 . 5 miles. Thes e co s t estimates would not include a ny capi tal i mpr o vemen ts o t h er than r oll i ng s tock . Contr acts for Corridor Impact S tudy: The General Man ager asked f o r a u tho rizat i on t o execu te a c ont r act between t h e Metropol itan Atl a nta Rap i d Tran sit Au tho rity a nd t he Atlanta Region Me tro p o litan Plann ing Co mmission, for $49 , 000 . 00 to c over the cost o f the c orrid or impact s t u dy , di s cu ss ed a t the Feb r u ary me eting . Mr. Bishop made a motion that the Genera l Manage r be empowered to e x ecute the contract b e tween the Me tropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and the Atlanta Region Me t r opolita n Planning - 4 - �Commission for $49,000.00 for the corridor impact study. Mr. Blount seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. Mr. Bennett said the Planning Commission had, at its February 27 meeting, passed a similar resolution authorizing the execution tif this contract. Authorization under Retainer Agreement: The General Manager reviewed an earlier authorization by the Board for an expenditure of $2,000.00 for study of relocation of tracks in the gulch area to cooperate with proposed construction in the area and also provide for transit lines. This had been used successfully, and Mr. Stuart said he anticipated the Nasher Corporation would soon require similar studies for the area near the State Capitol if MARTA's interests in that area were to be protected. He requested authorization to contract with the engineers for an additional $5,000.00 if required, for similar studies in the Capitol area. Mr. Bishop made a motion that the General Manager be empowered to negotiate a contract under the retainer agreement for whatever work was required for studies in the Capitol area gulch in connection with proposed construction in that area, with a limitation on the contract of $5,000.00, making a total authorization for the studies of the two areas limited to $7,000.00. Mr. McMillon seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. Authorization for Opening of a New Bank Account : Mr. Stuart said a new bank account was needed for funds of the new project recently approved, and after discussion, it was agreed that these funds would be deposited in the Fulton National Bank. It was further agreed that authorization for signing of checks be the same as the account of the 702 project , namely : either the Chairman, Vice Chairman or Secretary, and either the General Manager or Chief Engineer . Mr . Haverty made a motion that the General Manager be empowered to open a new bank account in the Fulton National Bank, for the deposit of funds of the newly approved p r oject , and that s ig na tur e authori zation fo r that accoun t be the same as t h e 70 2 account . The motio n was duly s e conded a n d un animous ly pa ss ed. - 5 - �-Statements by Officials from HUD: Mr. Charles Haar, Assistant Secretary for Metropolitan Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Washington, had met with elected officials and professional staff of the local governments at a luncheon meeting earlier, and had presented a check f or $40,000.00 to Mr. Rich. This represented the first installment of the newly approved project to the Transit Authority. Mr. Haar commended the Authority for its work and expressed the willingness of officials in the Department to cooperate with local governments whose plans were coordinated for development of needed capital improvements. Mr. Baxter of the Regional Office also expressed confidence in MARTA, and offered the full resources of his office to assure that an appropriate share of federal funds would continue to be made available to metropolitan areas in the South~ east. The Chairman expresset1 the need for better communication with the public and said full understanding by the community was necessary to the success of the project.

Minutes: Upon motion by Mr. Blount, seconded by Mr. Bishop, the read- ing of the minutes of the February meeting was dispensed with and they were unanimously approved. Financial Report: The financial report was presented by the General Manager. The statement reflected the fact that the counties of Clayton, DeKalb and Gwinnett were in arrears for their 1967 appropria- tions. The General Manager said he had been in contact with these governments and expected payments soon. After a brief discussion of the format of the statement, it was accepted by the Board.

Contracts for Corridor Impact Study: The General Manager asked for authorization to execute a contract between the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and the Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commis- sion, for $49,000.00 to cover the cost of the corridor impact study, discussed at the February meeting. Mr. Bishop made a motion that the General Manager be empowered to execute the contract between the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority and the Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission for $49,000.00 for the corridor impact study.
