MINUTES GRANT REVIEW BOARD _MARCH 14, 1969 The City of Atlanta Grant Review Board met Friday, March 14, 1969, at 10:30 a. m. with the following in attendance: Dan Sweat, Chairman Jay Fountain, Member Collier Gladin, Member E. H. Underwood, Member Don Ingram, Central Atlanta Progress I The Grant Review Board has reviewed the proposal entitled "Study Design for the Central Atlanta Planning Process." We find that to conduct this proposed study is in the best economic and physical development interests of the City. At the present time we can find no conflict with other studies and activities, nor do we find any duplication of effort. We believe that all the coordination necessary at this time has been achieved. Further, indications are that an adequate amount of coordination will be maintained by the agencies invol.ved during the course of the study. We have examined the City's portions of the proposed funding for the study and find everything to be in order. The City's cash share amounts agree with the amounts listed in the Planning Department's 1969 budget for these purposes. Further, the Planning Department is prepared to make the necessary sta_ff commitments to generate the required non-cash credits. The recommendation of the Grant Review Board is that the Mayor forward the above mentioned proposal, along with a suitable letter to the Secretaries of the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Mayor's transmittal letter should request their review, approval and determination of the most appropriate federal funding program to be used in financing this study. Upon their reply, the City should submit a formal application tci the appropriate department under the program specified . A copy of the Central Atlanta Action Program Outline is attached .
