The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mayor Allen:

The 1967 Amendments to the Economic Opportunity Act require certain
procedures to assure that community action agencies responsible

for programs financed by the Office of Economic Opportunity are
designated by local governments to serve this purpose.

Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. serves all of Fulton, Gwinnett
and Rockdale Counties and the City of Atlanta, including that
portion of Atlanta in DeKalb County. This service is a result

of authorization by each of the three counties and the City of
Atlanta contained in substantially identical resolutions of the
governing bodies of each of the four jurisdictions.

As a first step in this procedure, each of the four jurisdictions
should complete the attached CAP Form #69, a statement of intention
to designate a community action agency. To continue EOA as your
agency, the form should be completed as indicated, or otherwise

as provided for if you desire a change.

Next steps will provide that political sub-divisions within the
three counties be advised of your intention to name EOA as the
continuing community action agency; provision for a public hear-
ing on the matter; and an opportunity for individual political
sub-divisions not to participate if they so choose. Mr. Jim Parham,
Mayor Allen -2- March 5, 1968

Executive Administrator of EOA, and other members of our staff
will work with your representative to conform to these procedures

as simply as possible.
Your continued support and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

no fer hled he 3
