ATTN: Mr. William R. Cason
Dear Mr. Cason:

Your letter of July 19, 1968 regarding the proposed joint Fulton
County and City of Atlanta County Line Road sewer outfall has been
received. it appears that you were misinformed regarding this
project.

I have this date contacted Mr. A,T. MeDonald, Public Works Director
for Fulton County, and he hag advised that the County lacks the
necessary funds for this project at this tine.

As a matter of information, this project comprises the installation
of approximately 16,500 ft. of sanitary outfall sewer through six
land lots at a cost of approximately $200,000. While the City of
Atlanta now has the capability of financing its share of this project,
the money is not immediately available. Thare are several time con-
suming but necessary steps which must be accompiished in order to let
a contract for a project of this magnitudes.

A formal agreement must be obtained between the City and the County
relative to the cost participation in this project. This is required
before the City's Comptroller will authorize any fund expenditures
for the project. These funds must then be appropriated into the
Public Works Department budget which is submitted each September and
approved each January. Once the funds are appropriated into the
budget, easement acquisition begins. On 15,500 ft. of sewer, the
time required for obtaining these easements is quite lengthy. No

contracts can be awarded, however, until title to all easements has
been obtained. As you can see, a considerable time lapse would be
required after funds have been wade available by both Fulton County
and the City of Atlanta,
