Honorable Ivan Allen
Mayor, City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Ivan:

Representatives of the IPA will present the Atlanta-Fulton
County Merger Study to the Joint Citizens Advisory Committee on
Tuesday, November 1g 1969, at 10:00 a.m. in the Assembly Hall,
Sparks Hall, Georgia State University.

Since phase I] of the Study is now complete and since phase 2,
which is informing the citizens of the Study and its recommendations,
should now begin, I plan to recommend the following at this meeting:

(1) Since the task of advising the IPA officials with their study
has been basically completed, the Citizens Advisory Committee should
either be discharged and a new group named to implement phase 2 or
the present committee should be greatly increased in number.

(2) Since Georgia State has become a University, and since the
University is in a period of unprecedented academic and physical
growth, and since I serve as Vice President of the University,
Chairman of the Master Campus Planning Committee, and Chairman
of the Academic Growth Committee, I do not feel that I can give the
time necessary to the implementation of phase 2, The Chairman should
be able to give full time to the important task of informing our citizens
of the recommendations of this Study. Therefore, I feel that I must
resign as Chairman of the Joint Citizens Advisory Committee. I will
be happy to continue as a member of the committee.

It is always a pleasure to work with you and to be associated
with you,

Sincerely,

ee -pSCuart,
William M. Suttles
Vice President
