June 4 , 1969 · mfr. Raphael B . Levine, Director Comprehensive Area Wide Health Planning . Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc. 1000 Glenn Building 120 Marietta Street, N. W . Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Dr. Levine: Thank you £or your letter outlining the organization and function of the Metropolitan Atlanta Council for Health . As you know, the Fulton County Department of Health is the official agency £or health matters affecting the City of Atlanta and , normally, programs involving health and health planning would be the responsibility of the County Health Department as far as the City of Atlanta is concerned. I understand, however, that the Comprehensive Area .. wid Health Planning Program which will be carried on by the new Metropolit n Atlanta. Council for Health will involve re responsibility for developing policy and all the broad aspects of health including environmental sanitation, water pollution; etc. I Since the City of Atlanta does have major responsibility for production and distribution of potable w ter and for collection and dis po l of solid w st and also sew ge treatment nd disposal, I can understand why th City of Atlant should hav a representativ on th Health Council. Since both th Sanitation Division nd the Wat r Pollution C ontrol Division fall within the rea of r sponsibility of th Public Works Commltt e of th Board of Ald ~m n,. I am asking Alde:l!"man G. Ev rett Millie n, Ch lrm n of this C ommitt , to repr sent th City on the Council. Sincer ly yours, Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor �
