Jack Delius , Dir ector City Parks De1,."1artment City Hall Atl anta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr o Delius: The COlmty is planning to expand the Ada11sville Heal th Center in or der to meet the urgent needs of this growing community, but the presence of the City Recreati on Center attached to th · existing health center buil ding makes it somewhat difficult t o plan an adequate and e·"ficient additiono The County i s also concerned about the effect this recreation center will have on parking facilities and futu re expansions which will undoubtedly be necessary. 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
