and Parkes.
ALSO: Planning Director Kasprzak, Mr. Lee, Greater Ithaca Regional
Board Planning Director.

MEETING called to order 3:35 P.m.
NEW BUSINESS:
The City Planning Board has been concerned over the lack of communica-
tions from Planning and Public Relations Committee of the County Board of
Supervisors over the proposed attempts to organize County Planning Board.
There has been no contact with the existing City Planning or Regional Boards
as to what role both of these organizations will play in the new County
organization or how the present planning programs be continued and amplified.
After a short discussion the Board unanimously agreed to send letters,
both to the City's Common Council and the County Board of Supervisors. In
this correspondence there should be included, for information only, a report
dated June 1967, prepared by Tompkins County Resources Development Committee.
The letter reads as follows:
"It is the unanimous opinion of the City Planning Board that
the Council should be notified that, while the Board favors the
idea of county planning, there has been no communication between the
County Planning and. Public Relations Committee and this Board or its
staff as to exactly where city and regional planning operations will
fit in the proposal. Neither has there been any information as to
how the maintenance of city and regional programs, now underway, will
be continued, and amplified. It is our sincere hope that before the
county makes too many commitments, that communications concerning the
report of June 30, 1967 of the Tompkins County Resources Development
Committee be established with the Planning Committee of the Board of
Supervisors so that our Board will be in a position to make a definite
and concise recommendation to the Common Council. Care must be
exercised to assure the city a continuing, strong role within any
larger county framework."
