CITY OF .ATLANT.A August 8, 1969 CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR MEMORANDUM To: Dan Sweat From: George Berry Subject: Central Relocation Service R. EARL LANDERS, Admini strative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison What Col. Jones is saying is that CRC doesn't do a very good job. From what I know about it, I would agree with him . This responsibility used to be in the Planning Department a nd as a result of somebody's efficiency study, it was determined that this was a function that could best b e provided by the Housing Authorityo The result has been that costs have sky-rocketed and their effectiveness is questioned by about everybody. (They are asking $40, 000 from the City for Fiscal 1970) . They did do the relocation assistance work for persons displac e d as a result of Highway Department acquisition in the city, but the Highway Department got so dis enchanted that they went back to providing relocation assistance with their own people. We could call Les Per sells and Howard Grigsby over for a pep talk, but I hone stly don't know what it would accomplish. I have n e ver heard them admit that any improvement was neede d. They are usually pretty defensive about any hint that it is not a perfect operation. While trying to work out budget problems once in Finance, I made the suggestion that the City reassume this function. I have dr afted the attached for your signature. GB :j e Attachment �
