GEORGIA 33 GILMER STATE STREET, S. E. UN IVER~ ATLANTA, ~ GEORGl ~ 3 3 f 3 \ -~ November 7, 1969 ~ 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 1S, 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, s1Tu:@uld now begin, I plan to recommend the following at this meeting: 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. (1) (2) Since Georgia State h as become a University, and since the University is in a period of unprecedented academic and physi-cal 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 importatEi1i task of informing our d itizens 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 with you . and to be associated Sincerely , Wi1_ 0 ~ ~ ~ William M. Suttles Vi c e President WMS / r lb �
