EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE BUDGET
JANUARY 1, 1968 ~ DECEMBER 31, 1969

This is a forecast figure derived from expected receipts and

expenses between August 31, 1967 and December 31, 1967.

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.

The Corridor Impact Study will go out of date if it does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.

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-
cial 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

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 Design ~---<------------------------- $ 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.

Sas Preliminary Architectural and Engineering Design of mas
of Transit Center-—-~-.~..02263 ane ao ain i ee $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) Methoda of 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 includes

(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 otharwise
covered in existing contracts.
