On the other hand , I gather f rom conversations with you and your staff tha t you find the recreation building and the situation in which you have to use it f ar from ideal, and that the Ci ty too r ealizes the pressing ne ed for better recreational facilities for this area. In view of our mutual dissatisfaction with the present arrangements ancl our need to plan better for the fut ure , the County would be interested in considering a proposal from you under which the City would give up the r ecreation center in return for some other pr operty or consideration which you might find more usef ul. We have in mind that ,..,hi.l e you ,·might not be ci.ble to relinquish use of this building :unmediately, we :could work out some arrangement whereby the County could s ecure clear title for the recreation building now in order to facilitate the approval of a Federal grant for expanding the health center. I regret that we cannot be more specifi c , but we obviousl y do not know your needs, and I am sure you and your staff could come up with a much better proposed exchange than we could. The pleasant relationships and close cooperation we have enjoyed with your Department in the past l eads me to believe that we can work out some agreement which will be advantagoous to both the City and County o / 'I ~ oprs veryt'truly, / ' , li tL1 .;1 ;1 i

As 1 I understand it, a number of capital projects from all twenty-odd departmeijts are being listed now and .priorities will shortly be est~blished as to the utilization of this bond money. It must cover sewers, streets, bridges, etc.; not jgst parks. A member of this department, Mr. Charles Devon of our Park Engineering Division,- was present when a community services coordinator stated at a meeting held in your -community last year that plans did include a swimming pool and bathhouse for Anderson Park to be completed during 1969. Mr. Devon was completely shocked at this statement and corrected the man immediately thereafter. Not even the undersigned, as General Manager of Parks, -has the authority to obligate the City of Atlanta · to ·· projects -where no funds exist. Please be assured that I do have a definite personal interest in the future growth of recreation facilities for the · Dixie Hills area and in particular Anders-o n -Park.

Atlanta, Georgia 30314 February 24, 1969 Mr Jack Delius, General Manager Parks and Recreation City Hall 68 Mitchell Street, s; W. A~lanta, Georgia 30303 0 Dear Sir: The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention a definite need that exis.ts in this community. Namely, the fact that there is no up-to-date and sanitary swimrning pool in this area. We know that you know that all public pools that are not chlorinated in this city have been or will be condemned by the Health Department. We know of no definite date set for closing these poolso We do know from our personal survey that Mosley, Washington and Maddox are in this condition, therefore, are condemned or should be. As far as we can ascertain no plans · are known to replace or update these pools. Now Anderson Park is in a state of development and this community is proud of the progress made as of this date. We also know that it was too long a time before any improvement was made, and we feel that it · should be completed as soon as possible. We know that funds are limited to some degree, but we also feel that a pool at Anderson Park this year should be number one priority over all others, because of the unsanitary conditions of every pool int his complete area. It was stated, factually or not, by a city official that Ander son Park would have a· pool and bath house completed this year (1969) by the close of school and opening of city parks. The people of this comrnunity, especially the children and teenagers, are hopefully · looking forward to the completion and opening of this recreation f_acility., As stated in the newspap_ers and verbally to members of this commi t tee, ther e is no .money available at this time for this project . We fee l , however , because of the conditions of the ex isting park pool s in this ar ea somehow, somewhere , the money must be found for a pool a t Ander son Park this summer . -. 143.215.248.55 12:52, 29 December 2017 (EST)RsK~S~A ·4' • () -o it RECEl'ltl t~ _ ~ <) 't.

I do not believe it shows a true picture of cost, because we had to take the totals on an average of campers - as you know our camp has a maximum of 40 campers per session and this was filled most of the time. However this being our second year of operation, I feel that we have improved on attendance over the first year. It takes some time to educate the parents to let their youngsters leave home for a week at the time. I do feel that this ·y ear we will have the maximum each week and that we will have a waiting list for area's to participate in our camping program.

Choyc e , Associate City Attorney . 9/12/69 Page 2 You have rendered a legal opinion stating that we do own half the property, and your opinion has been substantiated by a legal opinion rendered to Mr. Paul Ivey by Mr. Ralph Jenkins, of your office. The County Attorney ha s advised me that he is in the process of selling this property to a priva te individual for its recently appraised value of $85,000.00 if we don't make up our minds quickly as to what we intend to do about buying it ourselves. He made it clear that his position is the City has no int e rest in the property. However, shortly before Mr. Earl Landers' retirement, Mr. Landers contacted the County Attorney and apparently worked out an agreement where the City would have to pay for only half the appraised value. You will note, among the Xerox copies attached, my copy of Mr. Landers' letter to Mr. Harold Sheats. Problem No. 2 involved a small parcel of land adjacent to Bagley Park, which for years we thought belonged to the City of Atlanta • . Some time ago, prior to discovering who really owned th e land, my department installed a numb e r of white-way poles which.lie on the property by a . matter of a few inches. By the time we discovered tha t we did not own the land, Fulton County let it be known that they were going to widen Pharr Ro a d. Mr. Paul Ivey, our Land Agent, r e ached an agreement with the County whereby the County would buy this private property, generally known as the "Ne lson property," and would take off the front of it tha t which they need e d for the widening of Pharr Road, then would transf er this property to the City of Atl anta at the ir net cost. In turn, the City ~ould tran s fer to the County the front a ge of Bagley Pa rk, also needed for the wide ning of Pharr Ro a d. The n e t results of this transaction would be that th e City of Atlant a would pay to Fulton County app"ro x ima t e ly $2,500.00. Ever since 1964 Mr. Ivey has be en making repeated efforts to get Fulton County to go ah ead and prepare a deed to transfer the "Ne lson property" to the City. Mr. Ivey has let it be known that the City is r ea dy to buy th e property; However, Mr. Ivey reports that h e has been put off on nume rou s occasion s by variou s r e pre·sentative s of the County. The County h a s now cont a ct ed Mr. Ivey and is asking, nWhy in the world doesn't the City go ahe a d and buy it, :i and have now plac e d the value at $3,500.00. The County's representative says that the land is now worth that amount and, if we wish to buy it, that is what it is going to cost us. Thrown into this is a small and rather minor situation where the County desires to acqui r e fro m the City what we call the Sanely Creek Park Site in Northwe st Atl ant a . The County ne ed s the l a nd to expand th e ir cl ear zone fo r th e Fulton County Airport. We are perfectly willing to accommo dat e Fulton Coun ty in s e lling them Sandy Cre ek Par k Site at th e appra is ed value so that they might exp and th e runways .

I �Messrs. Ferrin Y. Mathews, Assist ant City Attorney Thomas F. Choyce, Associate City Attorney 9/12/69 Page 3 What the City of Atlanta would like to do is to purcha s e from Fulton County their half of the Adamsville/Health Recreation property for app;oximately $42,500.00, to pay them appro x imately $2,500.00 for the "Nelson property" adjacent to Bagley Park, and to sell the County the Sandy Creek Park Site for its Apprais ed value. What the County apparently proposes to do is to sell the City Adamsville for $85,000.00, the "Nelson property" for $3,500.00, and to pay the City the exa ct appraisal for the Sandy Creek Park Site property. It is the opinion of the Parks Committee of the Board ·of Aldermen that every possible effort h as been made to settle the above in a friendly and fair manner and we wish to do nothing whatsoever that would disrupt friendly relations between our sister government. However, the Parks Committee apparently has grown quite weary of the discussions and problems arising from these transactions and has instructed me to proceed to turn the ma tter over to you to be settled from the legal standpoint, Alderman Leftwich has expressed a willingness on his part to go with you to Fulton County and attempt to settle this ma tter; however the Parks Commi tt ee is so disguste d with the whole affair that they would be perfectly happy to let the courts de cide the Adamsville and Bagley situation. App a r ently, at this point, we are unde r no legal comp ulsion to sell th e Sandy Creek Park Sit e to Fulton County .although possibly they h ~ve the right of cond emna tion in the expansion of the ir public airport.
