J I l / November 3, 1969 MEMORANDUM TO: Mr . Johnny Johnson FROM : Dan E . Sweat, Jr . SUBJECT: Model Cities Mass Convention, Inc . , and QED Consulting F irm I appreciate your m mo on this subject dated October 30, 1969 . A I understand your po ition, you tate that the expenditure to employ thi · consultant will be from the proceed of an EOA , Inc . gr nt to Model Cities Ma e Convention, Incorpor ted (MCMC , Inc .) and, con equently, the city is in no position to exerci e ny control over which firm that MCMC, Inc . employ for this work. I will defer to your judgement as to the technical operations of thi procedur and l und ratand that the city do not exercise ny direct control ov r the action of MCMC, Inc . , when city funds are not involv d . My only inter t i that the city, · nd more p cific lly th Model Cities Program, do not uffer ny emb rra sm nt re ulting from the rd of contr cts by ny Model City Agency or contractor . To preclude thi pos ibUtty, Ir it r t my reque t of October 28 , 1969, that a compl te dos ier be pr par d on QED prior to a deci•ion bein mad on the award of the contract to th m . Thi do sier hould includ the com• plet 1i t of the princip l with r um.es of th ir educ tion nd xp ri nee; r view of their pre nt position o that ny conflict of inter st can be d termined; some exampl or r f renc s of eimil r work perform d; compl te review of th xp ri ne nd q lification of th firm to do thh work: b udg t nd progr m d igned to accompl h th work d sired, and ny other Worm tion n c •• ry to make a w 11-inform d d ciaio on th ca bility of thia firm to ucc ••fully ccompli h thi• wo rk. �! ' This request should be made to MCMC, Inc . , recognizing that the city does not have the authority to require it but feels that good administrative practices demand it. When thi information is prepared, a good case can supposedly be made for awarding this contract to this firm instead of anQther . Should the1·e be any later question, the city wHl be in a m~ch better position to defend the action. You may be a13sured that the general public will not di tinguish betwe n MCMC , Inc . , and the larger Model City Program in the event charges of impropriety or c onflict of interest are mad against the corporation. My only interest in this project is the well being of our Model City Program . If the fact upport the contention that QED is qualified and able to do this wot-k at competitive prices , I will fully support the award to them . By the aame token, if the facts indicate that they are not qualified to accomplish this work, I feel that the award should not be made . In any ev nt, I w nt us to be in a position to defend the action of MCMC , •no. , even if we are not dbectly respon ible for the management of the organization. DESJr : m �- -I r .I / CITY OF A.TLANTA October 30, 1969 OFFICE OF MODEL CITIES PROGRAM 673 Capitol Avenue, S.W. Atlanta, Ga. 30315 (404) 577 - 5200 Ivan Allen Jr., Mayor J. C. Johnson, Director MEMORANDUM - - TO Dan E. Sweat, Chief Administrative Officer FROM Johnny C. Johnson, Executive Director Model Cities Program SUBJECT: Model Cities Mass Convention, Inc., and QED Consulting Firm In response to your memorandum of October 28, an investigation has been made into your inquiry and the following is submitted for your consideration. It has been determined that Model Cities Mass Convention, Inc. requested bids from three consulta nts that would provide management and personnel guidelines for their operation of the corporation. It appears that the low bidder for these services was a firm known as QED. It seems that the firm of Quod Erat Demonstradum was organi zed in February of 1964 and that the general purpose of the organization was to provide consultant services in the areas of marketing, management studies, and public relations . The firm has performed services for Radio Station WAOK and is involved in a project with several Emory University professors. Upon examination of the contract between the City of Atlanta and Model Cities Mass Convention , Inc., it has been determined that under the allocation of funds, no provisions were made for consultant and contract services with third parties e xc ept for public information purposes. (See attached budget justifications) . However, when combining the budget for HUD and OEO funds, all monies for training and technical assistance is to be paid out of the OEO grant and not out of the Model Cities supplemental funds. The �Memo to: Dan E. Sweat Page Two October 30, 1969 hiring of a management consultant firm appears to be a legitimate expenditure out of the OEO funds since these funds are provided especially to assist in the development of greater management capabilities on the part of the directors of the corporation. Further inquiry reveals that EOA had requested of the officers of the corporation to submit personnel and administrative policies as a requirement of their contract. It appears that EOA, and not Model Cities, would be the final determinant agency with regards to the sufficiency and qualifications of the consultants. Item 14 of the contract between the City and Model Cities Ma s s Convention, Inc., stipulates that all services sub-contracted to third parties must have prior approval by this office. Our Program Management Division was knowledgeable of the negotiations and had informed the proper officer that these services were eligible only under the OEO grant. I assure you that the staff is fully cognizant of its responsibility to assure that all monies which flow through the Model Cities Program are spent wisely and effectively, thus are comitted to fulfilling that obligation Attached for your perusal is a copy of our manual on accounting and fiscal management procedures. This manual is furnished all operating agenci es as a guide. I hope that the above information has been of some benefit to you. JCJ:vlc Attachme nts �:, ,i .

' PURPOSE These instructions prescribe the accounting procedures and related fiscal requirements to be followed by agencies which are awarded contracts with the Comprehensive Demonstration Agency to administer projects or activities as approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The classification and description of - accounts are the minimum required by the Comprehensive Demonstration Agency. If the agency desires to establish accounts other than these prescribed herein, such accounts shall be established as subdivisions of the prescribed accounts and should be maintained in such a way that they can be readily combined into the prescribed classifications for uniform reporting purposes. ACCOUNTING The operating agency shall establish and maintain on a current basis an adequate accounting system on an accural basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards. The accounting system, among other things, must be adequate to enable the preparation of a statement of financial condition and a cost control statement for submission to the Comprehensive Demonstration Agency on a current and timely basis.

Internal control comprises the plan of organization and all of the coordinate methods and measures adopted within an organization to safeguard its assets, check the adequacy and the reliability of its accounting data, promote operating efficiency, and encourage adherence to prescribed menagement policies . The characteristics of an adequate system of internal control include: a. A plan of organization which provides appropriate segregation of functional responsibilities. b. A system of authorization and record procedures adequate to provide reasonable accounting control over assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. c. Sound practices to be followed in performance of duties and functions of each of the organizational units. d. A degree of personnel competence commensurate with responsibilities. An adequate system of internal control contains the following features: a. No person should have complete control over all phases of any significant transaction. b. The flow of work should be from one employee to another so that the work of the second, without duplicating that of the first, provides a check upon it. c. Record keeping should be seperated from OP,erations or the handling and custody of assets, such as: (1) The function of receiving cash should be centrali z ed in one pe r son , who should not be conce rn ed in a ny wa y wi th approvin g or cer t i f ying vo u cher s, a cting a s imp rest fund c ash i er, pr e pa ring dep os it s , making disbur sements , o r k eeping ac c o un ting re cor ds .

(3) Periodic examination and count or other review of cash balances should be made by employees who do not handle or record cash or sign checks. d. Physical and mechanical facilities should be used to the fullest extent possible to insure security and accuracy, such as using security vaults or safe cabinets and check writing machines. e. Responsibilities should be clearly established and then accounted for as close as possible. f. Where feasible, employees are rotated to various assignments. g. Other control features pertaining to cash include: (1) All cash receipts shall be deposited as soon as possible, preferably the day received. (2) All cash receipts shall be deposited intact and for the full amount received. (3) Collections and all other funds held within an office , whether pending regular deposit or in imprest funds, shall be, where possible, restrictively endorsed and kept under complete control and under proper safeguards, preferably in a fire r es istant combination safe or safe-cabinet. (4) Uncollectible items and the related documents shall not be handled by the person making up d eposits or by the person h a ndling accounts receivable. (5) Persons preparing payrolls or time reporting records should not handle the related pay checks. - 3- �(6) The number of bank accounts and inter-bank transfers ~hould be kept to a minimum. A single bank account for the agency is preferred. ~- �BOOKS OF ACCOUNT AND RECORDS The following is a brief description of the books of accounts and records considered to be the minimum required for recording transactions relating to the project or activity.

For example, if it becomes apparent that some operational phase of a project will be delayed due to problems in acquiring equipment, this should be reported as soon as it is known rather than at the time the operational phase is to begin. The Project Highlights section of the report should be used to briefly summarize project activity for the month and to list any unusual cirsumstances concerning the project.

Johnson, Director Dr. John W. Letson Superintendent Atlanta Public Schools 224 Central Avenue, S. W. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 RE: Requested Contract Revisions and Disposition Dear Dr. Letson: The contract betwe e n the Atlanta Board of Education (Agency) and the City of Atlanta (CDA) state s that the Agency must have prior approval by the CDA on any shift of funds that significantly changes the approved program and/or exceeds 10% of the line item total from which the funds are being removed or to which added. The following state ments _indic ~te the action taken by the CDA with regards to the revisions requested by the Atlanta Board of Education. The CDA does not ~pprove the proposed changes in projects ED-005N and ED-041C. It was proposed that $30,000 be shifted from ED-005N to ED-041C. The approved original budgets are attached herein. We are happy to know that only t wo temporary units will be required thereby reflecting a savings of $30,000. The CDA approves the proposed changes on project ED-020C, but with some modification. Th e shi ft of funds proposed b y the Agency involved $4;ooo being shifted from personnel, with $3,000 added to consumable supplies and $1,000 added to equipment. Inasmuch as this proposed change could not be adequate to meet present equipment expenditures (as indicated by Age ncy's August Project Report), CDA proposes that $1,374 be shifted to equipment with $2,626 going to consumable supplies. This change does not effect the total cost of the project. This approved budget is included herein. �Dr. John W. Letson Page Two October 7, 1969 The CDA approves the proposed c hanges in project ED-021C. This involves removing $5,978 fro m personn el and adding $4,738 for instructional equipment costs, $40 0 for office equipment, and $840 for mileage. Also, the number of lead teachers is reduced from eight to seven in order to create the position of Model Cities Coordinator. These changes do not affect the total cost of the project. The approved budget is included herein. With rega.rds to the proposed changes in project ED-022C, the CDA app:c oves the additi·on of three · teacher aides. However, the CDA does not approve the adding of $1,620 to travel. The funds are to :remain in personnel. The CDA appr9ves the adding of $396 for tel ,=phone service. Telephone service is included in the space cost line item. These changes do not affect the overall total the total cost of the project. The approved budget is included her1=in. The CDA approves the changes in project ED-024N. The number of Extended Day Programs is reduced from five to four, and consultants and contract services will be covered by In-Service Training funds. These changes allows $49,287 to be removed and to be allocated as follows: $16,500 added to food; $12,543 added for labor; $6,649 added for custodial services; $2,000 added for consumable s upplies; $4,000 added for equipment; $6,768 added for three additional teachers aid e s; $584 for telephone services; and $243 added to trave l. The approved budget with costs in the appropriate line items is includ ed here in. The CDA approves the changes in pr oj ect ED-025N. It was proposed to r educe the number of pre-school progr ams from nine to eight. This allows additional fund s to be used for food, labor for food preparation, equipment, custodi a l serv ices, field trips, and substitute teacher aides. These changes only involve the shifting of funds and does not a l ter the total cost of the project. The approved budget with costs i n the appropriate line items is included herein. The CDA approves the proposed changes in project ED-039N. These changes include removing $14,813 from personnel, and distributed as follows: Consultants and Contract Services, $3,000; Travel, $2,000; Consumable Supplies, $3,500; Rental, Lease, Purchase of Equipment, $6,000; Custodia l Services, $813. The approved budget with costs in the appropriate line items is included herein. �Dr. John w.

As such, the specific program designed to correct the problems in the Model Neighborhood Area will be a product of the cooperative effort of all those involved. On August 2nd, the 25 members of the CDA Board who will represent the citizens of the Model Neighborhood Area will be· elected. Every resident of the Area should plan to vote in his district at one of the polling places listed below. ( Never has ' an election been held in this Area which affe~ted the liv~s of its residents more directly and significantly than will this one. In order to vote in the election, residents must be registered with the Model Cities Program. Registration has been conducted (1) house-to - house in the Model Neighborhood, · (2) at the centers listed below during Ju_ly and, (3) at the Moclel Cities Office, 1418 Mccallie Avenue between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 : 00 p . m. for the past month.

The Model Cities Training Program, one of the first of it."s kind in the country, i~. a ten session course to be conducted in seminar form under the direction of the University of Tennes·s ee at Chattanooga. Th e ma jor objective o f the Model Citie s Training Program is the enablement of the fifty members of the CoDoA. Board of Directors to function as a cohesive policy-making body while simult an e ously encoura ging the a t t ainme nt or ret e ntion of individual identity with those various sponsoring groups whom it is the board me mbe rs' r es p o n s ibility _to 're p resent. This obj e ctive c a n b es t b e a chie v e d by e n ab l ing t h e p articipa n ts t o: (1) acq uir e knowledge of the . actu~l structure of the Model Cities o r g a nizat~on and the obj ectives of the p r ogr a m; (2 ) d e v e lop an awaren ess of the d e cision- mak ing process in t e rms of se l e cting a cce ptabl e al tern a tives to r e cognize d problems confronting the CDA Board; and, (3) est a bli s hing and ma int ain i ng an o rga n i z a tiona l es p r it' d e cor ps' which on one h and will e n a ble each CDA Bo ard p art icipa nt to ma intain hi s i d entity a nd ties within h is own sphere o f the commu nity , and y e t p e r mit him to ma k e d e cis ions b ased o n a tota l c o mmit tme nt to an ove ra ll achieve me nt o f the o rgani z ation a l g oa l s o �l I (2) This series of seminars utilizing consultants, applying dynamic and innovative educational techniques, and involving expertise from as many pertinent sources as are available is, like the Model Cities--Program itself, a demonstration project •.. Because there is iittle national experience in training programs such as the one .described, the emphasis in the Chattanooga program will -be on experimentation and innovation. As might be e x pected of an experimental undertaking, it will be subject to regular observation, monitoring, and evaluation of its effectiveness in terms of the goals it seeks to fulfill. It should be understood that this continuous evaluative process is a testing process of the training program and its staff, as ~elL ~s of the participants. The first session of the program will meet Saturday, August 9, 1969, at th~ campus of UoToCo as will the following nine sessions on the following nine consecutive Saturd ay s. A suggested structure and content of each session is found in Appendic es I thru Xo Each consultant, however, may modify or restructure the seminar to achieve the objectives as outlinedo Funding for this training program has been secured under the provi sion s of Title 1 of the Higher Education Act from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare; Institution al monies of U T0C o; and funds from the Model Cities Planning Grant o 0 �l (3) The expectation is that the experience and information derived from the program will contribute signific~ntly to the effectiveness of the CDA Board as a decisive administrative bodyo It is hoped, also, _thi;lt from this Model Cities Training Program_ there will emerge a body of knowledge and exp~rience which will be of . value not only in Chattanooga, but in other cities as wello �(4) OBJECTIVES The succe-ss of the Model Cities Program to a large degree depend~ upon the~a~i~!ty and willingness of the CDA Board to discharge effectively its responsibility as chief policy-makirig . body of the Chattanoog·u. Model Cities Programo As administrators who are responsible for the planning and implementation of the total Model Cities Program, CDA Board members must be sufficiently equipped (1) with the necessary skills, tools, and information related to all aspects of the Model Cities Program; · (2) with an understanding of the Model cities Program and its relationship to city government and other agencies in the urban are--both private and public; and (3) with me thodology and dyna~i cs of d e cis ionmaking. To this end, t~e Mode l citie s Training· and Orientation Se minar Pr o gram i s d es i g n e d: . 1. To. insure that . the CDA Boa rd me mbers will be aware of the ir role s · in the Mode l Cities Program 2o To p r ovide CDA Bo ard me mbe rs with s u f fi cie nt and re l e vant informa tion c o nc erning the Mode l cities concept a nd me t h od . 3o To ins u r e th a t CDA Board me mb ers are familiar wi th the Mode l Cities st r u ctu re, both n a t ion a lly and l oca l ly. �(5) 4o To provide CDA Board members with pertinent data concerning the HUD guidelines as related to the Model Cities Programu So To provide CDA Board members with relevant information concerning speciti6 problems and program areas to be dealt wi.th in the Model Neighborhood area o Further, this program is designed to foster competency and sound judgment on the part of the Board members by providing them with training exercises and experiences in problem-solving and decision - makingo No Board with a ·membership so varied as that of the CDA Board can effectively discharge its duties and responsibilities unless its members develop a oneness of mind and purpose. It is the intent of this program to provid·e s~ructured experiences for the fifty participating CDA Board members--members with varied backgrounds, wide ranges of e x periences, diffeient levels 6f educational attainment, and diverse interests--which will enable ·the Board to .function as a cohesive unit ·w ith mutual interests and common goals; one dedicated to solving the problems of the Model Neighborhood and its people. �Re sident Involvement During Planni nq Proce ~s In December 1967 the residents of the Mod~ l Ne ighborhood Area selected the s tructure tha t they_ felt would be the most workable and repre sentat i ve o f the s i ~ ne ighborhoods that make up the Atlanta Model Cities Program. ( see figure on community structure) . l•Iass Convent:!.0.1 The Mass Convention is open t o a ll Mode l Neighborhood Area residents. Here the cit:i.zen·s .have an op portunity to hear the progress made to improve their coromunity and to voice their views on the Model Cities Pro gram. The Mass Convention also guarantees to every Mode l Neighbcrhood Area res ident that all elections that relate_ to the organizatio n o f the Mode l Neighborhood Area will be conducted in an orderly and democrati c manner. The Mass Conventio n also symbolizes the idea that the Model Neighborhood Area is a unified c ommunity with many similar · as·s ets and liabilities in each of the six concerned neighborhoods. Executive Board The 14 me mbe r Executive Board i s the policy making body in the Model cities organization. It is c omposed o f six neighborhood residents . (One elected representative fr om each of s ix · · neighborhoods _within the Model Neighborhood Area). In addition to the six citizens , it includes the f ollowing: Mayor of the City o f At l anta , one citi zen repr esenting the Atlanta Negro community, one citizen from the genera l Atlanta Community, one repr esentative from the Atlanta Board o f Education , one repres e ntat i'.,e from the Stai.:e of G~orgia , two Aldermen from the City of Atlanta , and ~he Fulto n County Commissi on chairma n. Steering Committee The 16 merri::)er citizen ' s Steering Committee serves as the Mass Co nvention when i t is not in session . It ac c epts recommendation s a nd proposa ls from each o f the six n eighborhoods. It wi ll bring th~s~ recommenda~ions and propo sals to the Mas s Conventio r:. and t h e Executive Board. The Steering Committee is also responsible for deve loping a n effective citizen organization in each of the s i x neighborhoods. It is compo sed of the f our Mass Convention officers, six neighborhood vice chairmen (one elect e d fr om each of the s ix neighborhoods) ·a nd six residents who serve on the Executive Board. Neighborhood Advisor y Councils The Neighborhood Advisory council structure is designed to organize citizens at the neighborhood level •. The residents decided to use thr ee basic structures of organization. Adair Park elected it s repr,2sentatives on an area-wide basis. Grant Park and Peoplestown elected their representatives on a district basis. Mecr.anicsville, Pitt sbm·gh, and Summerhill elected its representatives through the block structure. �The basic function of the councils is to coordinat e all activity in the neighborho0d and to be sure that all operating and standing committees are functioning at maximum efficiency. Operating committees Each of the six neighborhoods has 11 operating commj tt ees for the following program areas: Health, Ed1_tcation, Welfare and Social Services, Hou sing, Relocation, De s i .gn and Preservation Physical Improve ments, Public Facilities, Ernplcyment, Crime Prevention and Re creation. These commit.tees played a valuable role in the planning phase of Model Cities Programs through working with pl a nners in identifying problems ti.nd s uggesting solutions to solve these problems. The Operating Committee s work closely with thE: .:leighborhood Advisory Council so that all proposals from the community will be coordinated through the council. Membership on th-J Operating Committees is open to any resident of the-neighborhood. Standing Commi ttees 'J~he St anding Comm.i.t.tees serve a s th e o rga nizational arm for the Mass Con ve ntion and the s i x nei ghborhoods within Atlar.ta's Model Ne ighbo rhood Area . There are seven committe e s (Boundary, credenti als, Nor.ti n.at ions, Pr ogram, Org3 ni zation, Resolutions, and Con sti tution and By-Laws ) . Each neighborhood has three representatives on each committee.

The content of each group session will consist of consideration of three questions: 1) " S uppo se someone stopp e d you on the str e e t or conf ronted you i n a meeting with the question, "What m a kes you think you're qualified to be on the Model Cities board? 1 What would be your answer?" 2) "Suppa se w e gave each of you a $1, 000 gr ant, to be u s ed in any way you choo se , to b e tt e r p rep a r e your self for p arti cip ation in the M od e l C ities boa rd.

What three q u es tion s w ould you as a B o ard ask? " T h e firs t t w o ques ti ons are to be answered b y e a c h .member of the group individually. (Group disc u ssion could fo llow the individual answers if that seems natural. ) The answer to the third question should be arrived at by consensus of the group. Total time available for the group discussion is 10 0 minutes, allowing about 30 minutes for consideration of each question. This is a flexible standard, however, and if a lively discussion develops around one question or another, the leader need not cut it off for the sake of covering all three questions. �rJUL 1 8 REG"b DEPARTME NT OF LAW 2614 FI RST NATION AL BANK BU I LD I NG ATLAN TA , GEORGIA 30303 July 16 HEMRY L .

Southside Day Care As sociation has found it necessary to request emergency funding for thi s phase of its progr am because of three recent developments: 1. Southside has recently acqui red the use of the school building previously occupi ed by Pryor Str eet Elementary School. This facility i s not only mor e substanti al and more adequat e for an eff ecti ve day program, ; it . als o increases the c apacity of the c ent er from ni nety- one (91) to over 135 chi l dr en. 2.

Thus , ins tead of being able t o expand its s ervi c es to needy f amilies , Souths i de has had t o r educ e the number of chi ldren to mor e than fi fty bel ow i ts capac i t y. J.

The center will be able t 'o care for fifty-two additional children of mothers needing its services in order to work and improve the economic and pP-rsonal wellbeing of family. Tte salaries these: mothers earn .- even at minimum wage levels , will return over $100,000.00 into the economy of the inner-city. The public schools will be open shortly. · Surveys have shown that 80% of the absenteeism in the schools results from older children having to stay , home and care for the little ones while mother works. and nursery programs are presently operational. Southside's preschool The new openings for day care services this proposal makes possible would be available in a matter of weeks. This . proposa.Lfor ·. the· nurser y pr ogram at Southside, if funded, will make it possible for Southside to continue to ser ve the ne eds of mothers wi t h an infant as well as an ol der preschool child needing care; t hes e mothers-- the ones wi t h the most chi ldren-- are_ usually the ones who need day care the most.

In addition to re cently acquiring more suitable and spacious facilities, Souths ide has entered upon a joint venture of cooperat i on with the School of Education at Georgia State College for the purpos e of developing the center into an experimental laborator y for the College's students in early childhood education. The coupling of t he professional'resourc e s of a major school of education with Southside 1 s four year s of cont inuous experienc e in educa- �Southside proposal - J tional day care has important implications: ma.,jor research findings indicate that educational stimulation during early childhood is the most promising antidote to educational deprivation brought on by the conditions of poverty. Research also indicates the importance of continuing the nursery program at Southside as a part of this project; it suggests that more than 50%of the intellectual potentials of the adult is determined by the kinds of learning experiences he had before he was two years old. In view of the foregoing facts, the spons ors of Southside Child Develop~ ment Center suggest that no public funds expended can benefit so many, so directly, so quickly, or so meaningfully, as funds invested in its plans . for the· .nurser y program outlined ~ this proposal. No money spent at thi s time has any greater promise of finding answers to the burden of poverty today, and to its alleviation tomorrow. �Southside proposal - 20 IX. budget Nursery Program Budget. - Southside Day Care Association 1.
