“Better Citizens Panel

THE CITIZENS Advisory Commiltee for Ur-"
’ ban Renewal is exploring the possibility,

* . of achieving a more active role in the deci- -
sion-making process of the -city’s urban re- .
newal program. : “

This is good. We are also glad to see
that CACUR may streamline its organization ~
to help facilitate smoother participation in .
policy formulation. : ;

’ A large commitee membership acting on- ~
;. the details of all plans considered by such
* “groups as the Atlanta Housing Authority,
Model Cities, and government planning de- ,
partments is unwieldy and tends to add con- ..
fusion rather than distill intelligent citizen
comment.

Far better is the current proposal for an
eight to 12-man executive committee meet- .
; ding monthly, backed up by a full member-
« ship meeting held quarterly.

The citizens panél will then be in a posi ;
tion to make Senta constructive com- —
d

‘ment, thus avoiding the “rubber stamp”
sug resultin; from inadequate direction.
