DILLON WINSHIP, JR. �1965 Operating- Ixpendimres -1, 10, 26G.1G Sheltering Arms provides facilities for protective care, guidance and training during the day for children-primarily of working mothers of low income. These may be extended following investigation to those having special needs. Sheltering Arms is open Mondays through Fridays 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Nursery provides care for boys 2½ to 10 years of age and for girls 2 ½ to 12 years of age. The fee for day care at Sheltering Arms is based on individual family income. Each family pays according to a fee attainable within financial limits. Most choose to be as self-sustaining as possible. The Social Worker assists the family in determining whether we are the appropriate agency to meet their child care needs and in setting a realistic fee for service. �Sheltering Arms operates year round with a staff of director, social worker, educational consultant, two center supervisors, sixteen teachers and assistants, a secretary-bookkeeper, two part-time pediatricians and five maintenance personnel. D uring the summer supply teachers are added to st aff. M ISS MARGARET L . COLBERT . . . . . . . . . . Executive MRS. LOIS HANCOCK .. . ... ...... . Educati onal Consultant MRS.

Secretary-Bookkeeper �Presidents 1?..eporf- -19G5-1966 Dear Members: How could a year be so short and yet so full of problems and pleasures for Sheltering Arms Association . If it were not for t he interest and support of each of you my job would have been an ard uous one. This you recall was the year in which we faced an operating defici t . However, friends came to our assistance and we will be able to maintain our services of the highest quality because of t heir generosity. We have 6,500 hours of volunteer service from yout h groups, garden clubs, civic clubs and our own members. They provided an enriched program for our boys and girls throughout the year. The committees all did their jobs as assigned and I am indeed grateful to each chairman for the work which you did to keep t he agency operating at top efficiency. It would seem appropriate to mention a few highlights even though each committee could not be included in my brief report. The Personnel Committee had a particularly busy year in assisting the Executive Director in replacing eight key positions. In each case we felt that we secured very well qualified persons to fill the vacancies. The salary scales have been improved each time t he budget has been presented to the Chest. �The Building and Grounds Committee has spent time, talent and funds on repairs and redecoration of Osgood Sanders Center and Play Equipment needs were met at Dorothy Arkwright Center. The Wayside Garden Club, Magnolia Garden Club and the Atlanta Junior League have made substantial contributions for capital expenditures. Social Work Advisory Committee assisted our new Social Worker in orientation to the agency. They set up procedures for an annual review of each client to set fees for service. We are most careful to adhere to health and sanitation regulat ions and to serve adequate, well balanced meals which our Nutrition Committee r.ecommends. Our clinics are operated by qualified Pediatricians and the Medical Committee carries out their suggestions. The Finance Committee built and structured the operating budget for providing service to the 350 different children in our care last year . This was done at a cost of $2.40 per day per child. We are justly proud of our economical operation of our two facilities. The United Appeal is our chief source of income and we are indeed grateful for their understanding and support of our high quality of day care services in t he community. To serve as your President has been a source of great pleasure to me and I do wish t o thank everyone who has made my year a happy experience. I particularly enjoyed the privilege of working with our fine Executive Director, Miss Margaret Colbert. Sheltering Arms had a richer program because of the active interest of our Board of Directors and the splendid service of our entire staff. Sincerely, Mrs. Harry L. Spring, Jr., President �Paa- Presidcn,ts Shdter~Arms Associat~

GLAD I N, Dir ec tor December 20, 1967 Mr . Rodney Cook 34 10th Street, N . E. Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Dear Rodney: This letter is in response to one sent by Senator Dan McIntyre to Mayor Allen about the traffic: problem in Buckhead . His major concern is the proposed implementation of the Buckhead loop by Fulton County. As you may remember the Buckh ad loop was conceived by this department and totally rejected by Buckheod . However, In passing the 163 Bond Issue, th people in Buckh ad convinced the County to include some prefects that, in ff ct, do begin creation of portions of the loop at a low r level of rvice, i.e., collectors rather than limited ace $S freeways, As th present time Bill McGeorge. of Fulton County Public Works is actively pushing for completion of the loop up to a point (Se I on Figure I) . He ha be n working with us on it and has a ked for our support which we are now pr par d to giv with som r servations and conditions. One r s rvotion is that the propos d north t rminus ot Wieuca Road will probably create more problems that it will solve. The loop shou Id be brought back into ochtr e Road or at I t to P achtr e Dunwoody (Se 2 on Figure 2) . The cond r aervation cone rns proposed widths which vary from two to thr e to four Ian s. Th rood should be a coll ctor with a uniform four Ian s · from beginning to nd. Th bridging of f-()56 north (North Fulton Expr ssway) should reflect this width. Last, but not least, our support is condltlonol on a full und rstanding of our complete position. This loop may h Ip Buckh ad•s interval circulatlon problem but that is about all. It is not soluti n to the Peachtr Road corrldot traffic pr I m which begins fn D Kalb County and ends south of ookwood St tion. (Se attach d r on Buckhead traffic probl m nd Figure 2, e clally No. 2). I y this to �Mr . Rodney Cook 2. December 20, 1967 attempt to establish priorities . The overall benefit to the total community is Iimited . Since capital improvement funds are in very short supply, they should be spent on pr iorities which are more urgent in nature and w ii I resu It in greater overall benefit . I am su re that you are aware the City is actively participating in and receiving data from the Atlanta Area Transportation Study . Up to now, this has been conducted\ \ mostly by technicians with little involvement by pol icy makers . Recently, a polrcy committee was formed of which the Mayor i a member . I sent you a short paper on this'for your consideration . The nature ~f the Buckhead problem, in fac t many of the traffic problems throughout the City, such as Campbellton Road , and the patchwork manner in which they a re being handled leads me to soy that some more log ical, comprehensive approach must be adopted by pol icy makers for considerfog our transportation problems. \I ,\ ,, . ,\' Sincerely, \ Collier B.

Several people have inquired about the proposed Buckhead Loop which would relieve the traffic on Peachtree north of the Roswell Road-Peachtree intersection. This loop was i ntended to connect the Lenox Square area with the Buckhead area without crowding the Peachtree road itself. With the new Phipps Center on the old Alexander property, the problem will be impossible unless something i s done. It is my understanding that the County has reconnnended a plan, but when your Planning Department was consulted no one could tell me of any definite progress in this area. I talked to Rodney Cook this morning and he was very opposed to the County plan, but in order to relieve the condition the city will have to come up with some counter plan. This problem is tooaccute t o remain unresolved. I have tried to talk to Collier Glad~en several times but have been unable to contact him, but it does appear to me that the City Planning Department should immediately tackle this problem and come up with a constructive workabl~ solution to the traffic problem in the Buckhead area. If I can do anything to help, please let me know. Sincerely, ~~ DaHf MacIntyre, III., Senator, 40th Distr i ct. DIM:ms V ~ , t.7~ ,/'>" ~ · (7() rr~ I (_,.,..,/'.

GLA DI N, Di recto r September 13, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Earl Landers FROM: Collier SUBJECT: City Bond Referendum (') 0...Y"\ "'-J JJ J This is, more or less, a follow-up of our brief conservation of a few days ago concerning this subject. I feel that some serious consideration should be given to the question of when would be the most advantageous time for Atlan ta to consider another general obli gation bond referendum? The funds from the last two bond issues are nearly exhausted, and the City ' s Capital Improvement Program reflects over $400 million dollars in unfunded capital improvement projects. The Planning Department can continue to prepare survey and planning applications, applications for code enforcement programs and updating of the Community Facilities Plan, however, we need some firm guide as to future financing of the se projects and facilities, plus we would like to make the Capital Improvements Program functional. There are several events that .we know will occur and others which are being considered, for example, the national elections in the fall of '68 and the city election in the fall of '69. The Transit Authority is considering, as I understand, a bond issue for financing a transit system in the fall of '68 (along with general election); the Atlanta School Board is considering another school bond issue in the Spring of '68. I am concerned that if consideration is not given soon that the right time may not be before 1970 - can we afford to wait that long? Your thought s on this matter would be e x tremely helpful. Also, I would like your opinion concerning the desirability of state legislation enabling the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to issue General Obligation Bonds without referendum, amount to be limited by State Legislature. Similar legislation has been passed for Fulton County which is awaiting approval by the voters as a constitutional amendment. jp �September 20, 1967 MEMORANDUM To: Mr. Collier Gladin From: R .

I do not argue with the HRC request. However , I believe that this function should be part of the on-going responsibility of the Planning Department. It would be a shame for us to have spent $ 750 , 000 on a Community Improvement Program and not have the capability of maintaining current data in a use able form after th e CIP project is finished . I think all of us are aware of the tremendous value of the various CIP reports. For the first time we have had information on housin~ including individual computerized information on each structure as well as projected requirements for the future. This information made it possible for us to launch the critically neede d housing program almost a .year before the complete report was finished . �Mr. Landers Page Two September 20, 1967 I am sure that we are going to find that we will be able to use the information and recommendations in other reports to implement timely action in other areas. However, unless we are able to record and document what action has been taking place and complete at least an annual review of progress with updating of our facts and figures, I am afraid the CIP will have missed its mark. I think that we also should give careful consideration as to exactly what we want the Housing Resources Committee to do - how big an operation you want to make out of it. I think the same thing holds true for every other quasi-governmental authority or agency that has been set up in the City, particularly the Atlanta Youth Council and the Community Relations Commission. It might be wise for a special committee of the Board of Aldermen to take a good look at these agencies before the budget is finalized this year. I do not mean to imply that they should be cut out or cut back. It might be decided that they are woefully underfinanced. My concern is that we all know exactly what the purpose of these agencies is and more importantly that those people who run these agencies know what the City expects of them and if we are going to continue the operation they should be given the tools with which to operate according to the wishes of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen .

The extent to which the cooperative relationship being pl anned between t he committee and representatives of t he departments of the City Government havi ng responsibility for Urban Development to i nhance the welfare of all the people l ivi ng in the area can be outstanding; if the sentiments expre ssed become a functional reality. There were two questions raised however , that the committee could not answer : (1) 'Why the names of the total membership of the Nash- Bans Committee which the special committee was authorized and instructed to pre sent to you, did not appear i n the news release? It would helpful if you would advise us as to what circumstances could be indicated that t he names were presented to and accepted by you. (2) I n t he light of the agreement reached which provides that all future developments in the Nash- Bans area would r epresent a cooperative enterpri se i n which t here would be participation of representatives of the nei ghborhood, this would suggest that at an earl y date a conference might be held with Mr o Rodney Cook, of t he city department of Urban Renewal, Mr- .

The city has only 3,½ months to finish or have . under contract all activiti.es listed in the application. To make sure the city meets its commitment it is requested that all participating departments review their programs and forward their Urban Eeautification schedule to Eric Harkness, City Planning Department, to determine where we stand on the overall program . If some activities in the application are not underway, they should be made ready and the contract let by the end of December , 1967 . The city must make every effort to bee in all activities in the 1967 a pplication or the cit y 's el i gibility could be jeopardized if the residentially r elated activities drop below 60% of the cost of activities included in the application . I f circums t ances h av e produced changes or dele t ion o f any of t he 1967 activitie s , ple a se i nfo r m me because i t may be ·necessary to subs ti tute othe r activ ities i n or de r t o ma intain our 60% minimum. Such changes can be mad e easily prior t o ap proval of the application but after appr ov al would r equi r e an amendat ory app lication. The 1967 application was also f orward ed t o you in April. The only changes which have been made are in the Parks and Schoo l Depa rtments activitie s . If you have any questions, please contact me at 522-4463, Ext. 325.

GLADIN, Director September 6, 1967 Alderman John Flanigen Chairman, Zoning Committee Board of Aldermen 245 Third Avenue, S. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30317 Dear Mr. Flanigen: Since my return to ··' the City this week, I have reviewed the Dari' Williams court case involving the property at Greenwich Street and the Southwest Connector, which took place during my absence. Although the ruling by the court was unfavorable to the City's interest, I understand that the matter may be appealed by the City within thirty days of that ruling. From discussing the matter briefly with the City Attorney's office I find that they would be agreeable to the appeal action and have some reason to feel that the City might be successful in this effort. Becaus e of the importance of this rezoning action upon the We st End Urban Renewal Project Area and the influence of this use upon other properties similarly · located along the Southwest Connector, I would strongly urge that you and the Zoning Committee seriously consider asking the City Attorney's office to appeal this recent court action .

McGeorge. met with the reaidents of the neighborhood which ia generally located in the Weatview Drive, Lawton· Street, and the L & N l&ilroed area to diacusa the relocation of a new atreet connector. The project in question ia the $1,700,000 Southwest Connector, a 1963 Fulton County Bond Project, which was for the conatruction of a n.ev four lane connector between Cascade Road - Gordon load and the four lane Marietta Boulevard. This included an interchange with the Waat Expresava7 which will relieve 1erioua traffic problema on Northaide Drive and the entire vest aide of Atlanta. · ,, The general subject of Alderman Summers' meeting was that the home• owners felt that this project, if developed as planned, would destroy the neighborhood they had worked so hard to develop. They felt that the other alternatives should be conaidered. Some of the suggestions were to align this roadway with Ashby Street, another was to dev lop the roadway either over the L & M lailroad or within the railroad right-of-way thereby eliminating that eection of track. Still an.other suggestion vas to generally follow along the vat aide of the L & N llailroa.d. At the request of Alderman Jack Summers, on Tuesday, Soptember 22, 1964. a delegation of approximately twenty fin reaidenta of the Westviev Drive, Fountain Driv., and Bu.nter Place led by Senator LeRoy Johnaon, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Collier Gladin June 1, 1967 -2- in the United States t oday. They do not, unfortunately, reflect some of the thoughtful analysis contained in the body of the Design Report itself . Taking the points covered in the reconnnendations in the order of their appearance, we would make the following comments: (1) The statement of need "from the public and private leadership of Atlanta to a goal of a 11 designed city and to the progrom needed to achieve it" would certainly have the support of every Design Commission member. We do wish that more emphasis had been placed in the study on the development of such a progi-am. (2) The Con:anission ould agree that "Physical Design plans related to the Community Improvement Program must be carried out by the best professional designers available . 11 We would have appreciated some specific recommendations as to how this might be accomplished. For example.., believe that more us might be mad of design oo titions and we had hoped to see some discussion of whether and under what oiroumstanoes the consultant would support or oppose such procedures~ Also, some coneideration of an "awrds program" might have b en i:;rovided in the r port. (3) The Co isaion would probably support th id that stTh city must pr pal" and adopt o d sign ...growth strategy." Th r port, how r, is not too cl ar on what suoh a tr t ~ would con iet of or ho to achi ve it. (!.) (5) (6) Th Oommi s1on would most lik ly support th consul nts' reOonJm ndstiona th t de 1 n control n ed to be pro d "through stren th ning of the Subdivision and Zoni.Jlg Or-di• nc s" and prob bly that th Ci ic D sign C i sion n d to b trength n d lo, but r not too clear as to how thi 1 to b socompllshed. It would hlv. be n helpful if the Consultant could h v . prov1d d p cifie a ndm ts (in rough dr ft) for consider tion ot public offici 1 and Co is ion m bra. �Mr . Collier Gladin (7) Jme 1,. 1967 -3- The statement that "a formal design review procedure " is needed is confusing insofar as the Atlanta Civic Design Commission is serving such a function t the pr sent time. If the intent was to requir that all major private oonst ruet1on in the oity be made sub ct to suoh review, we wish it hed been stated more clearly. Under this circumstance,. we also would like t o see some consid ration of recommended limits and cut-off points fer review of private construction .

GLADIN, Director June 2, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Development Committee FROM: Planning Staff SUBJECT: Notes and comments on workshop session No. 2 with Candeub, Fleissig & Associates The Planning Staff has not been satisfied with the work of Candeub, Fleissig & Associates who have been responsible for the following studies: Planning, Fiscal, Economic Base/Marketability, Equal Opportunity in Housing and Design. Although this firm enjoys a national . reputation for its work in the field of planning and connnunity development, we have found their work to suffer in Atlanta for the following reasons: (1) Most of the interim and/or preliminary reports and memoranda submitted to date consists of a parroting back or rehash of locally available facts, statistics and data. Often the facts and information submitted to the consultant or generated and gathered by them have been either erroneously used or applied with little, if any, attempt made at verification prior to the incorporation in a report or memoranda. All of this appears to point to one or more of the following: inadequate research, local consultation, follow-up, and/or general negligence on the part of the consultant. (2) Based on the reports and memoranda submitted thus far, little if any attempt has been placed on analysis of the facts, their impli~ cations or consequences, or to relate one report to another. Few conclusions and recormnendations have been drawn . Where conclusions and reconnnendations have been drawn and set forth, it is difficult for the planning staff to see how, from whence, and on the basis of �Page 2 Notes and corrnnents on workshop session No. 2 what evidence, they were drawn. In short, the reader finds conclusions and recommendations drawn not predicated on facts or analysis of the facts. In reading the reports and memoranda, the planning staff has been constantly confronted by questions in his own mind of why, how and for what reasons - the answers to .which are not forthcoming by reading further. (3) In general, Items 1 and 2 apparently have led to the conclusion that many of the technical reports and memoranda could be applicable to any City USA. Most often the reader is left unconvinced that Atlanta is the City in question in each of the technical memoranda and reports. There is a general failure on the part of the consultant to relate what is being reported, discussed, concluded, or recommended with the physical, social, economic and political environment of Atlanta. The staff has employed every known tactic to encourage and to literally force improvement in the quality of their work. But, we have not seen any appreciable improvement which we would call satisfactory. Flat statements, sweeping generalizations, techniques, approaches, reconnnendations and assumptions made in today's meeting - all must be challenged by the staff and the Planning and Development Committee. The Program for Improvement Action being recommended by the consultant is heavily weighted toward physical improvement. This is probably the strongest part of the Program and basically represents materials provided the consultant by the Planning Department. The Program is weak, shallow, sketchy and in some respects not feasible on the social and fiscal facets. We have not seen much of th? economic materials to date and thus cannot comment. Consequently, the Planning Staff along with the Planning and De velopment Connni t tee should prod the consultant with the "Whys" , "Hows", and "Wher es" until we ge t satisfactory a nswer s and an accep t able Pr ogram for Improvement Action . �Page 3 Notes and comments on workshop session No.2 Set forth below are some examples of questions. These will give the committee some idea as the types of questions that should be asked the consultant: PHYSICAL --Shouldn't your recorrnnendations for renewal treatment cover the entire City, particularly those areas to the extreme North and Southwest which apparently have been omitted1 --What are the side effects 9n adjacent areas of renewal treatment in any given area? How is this overcome? --Define types of treatment; which renewal actions should be public, which private and in which areas? --How did you determine priorities and how can we best make use of this priority classification system on a continuing basis? --What is the value of your priority classification system to the Planning and Development Committee and how will it help us in making decisions for projects in various areas of the City? --What are the alternatives of your priority classification system? --What projections have been made on land needs ana resources for the future development of the City?

The Planning Department is very interested in supporting Sheltering Arms and other social oriented agencies in the selection of sites to best serve this growing community. As you know, the Community Council is responsible for the coordination of social planning activities, thereby providing the City with one agency who knows the goals and activities of all the community organizations. This enables us to select sites which will allow the least chance of service overlap. I will furnish you with site proposals just as soon as possible. CG/jp �CITY OF .ATLAN :A CITY HALL ATLANTA.

COLLIER B. GLADIN, Director !I May 11, 1967 MEMORANDU_ FROM: Planning Staff TO: Mayor Ivan Allen, - Jr. and Alderman Rodney M. Cook SUBJECT: Background material on Equal Opportunity in Housing Study .In securing the Federal Grant Funds for the undertaking of the Community Improvement Program one of the conditions was the preparation of an Equal Opportunity in Housing Study. The following fedE;ral guidelines established the scope and content of such~ study. 1. "Survey and analysis of the existing patterns of residence of Negroes and other minority groups in the community, including an appraisal of the extent to which the pattern is the result of discrimination. The survey and analysis shall include considerations of the quality of housing and of related community facilities and services available to minority groups, in relation to the quality of housing and related community facilities and services available in the conmrunity at large." · 2. "Development of an affirmative program to expand the housing opportunities available to minority groups in t h e community, including increases in the quantity and improvement in the quality of available housing, and to eliminate discriminatory barriers obstructing open access to housing. The affirmative program shall include consideration of how both federally assisted and other programs of housing improvement can be used to attain these objectives." Essentially the Equal Opportunity in Housing Report meets the federal guidelines and requirements for such a study as a part of the COIIDnunity Improvement Program. Our disagreement revolves around the following : �-2~ . 1. Conformity for such a Fleissig & the report to and interpretation of the requirements · of the contract study executed between the City of Atlanta and Candeub, Associates, dated May 6, 1965. The City questi9ns whether meets sections lb, Ild{l) and 11(2) of the contract. 2. Crediting the City for what has been done during the Allen Administration in the way of improving public services and facilities serving Negro areas, and 3. Reliance on the interview technique as a means of drawing conclusions on public services and facilities without checking and testing the validity of the information thus obtained prior to its incorporation in the report. Each of the above points are discussed below: 1. Conformity to and interpretation of contract. The Consultant appears to have met most of the requirements of the contract with the following notable exceptions: Section lb of the contract reads as follows: "The Consultant shall determine the adequacy of connnunity facilities and services in areas in which Negroes lives, (such as schools, parks, playgrounds, public housing, libraries, streets, utilities, sewers, and services from data supplied to the Consultant by the Local Staff). Adequacy shall be determined by applying nationally recognized standards of adequacy and service as modified by established local standards and shall include appraisals of intensity of use, variety and scope of services provided, and public attitude toward such facilities and services. For the latter purpose, interviews with informed sources in the Negro COlillllunity and in various appropriate professional associations will be used to secure their reactions to the adequacy of these facilities.n The phrase, "adequacy shall be determined by applying nationally recognized standards of adequacy and service as modified by established local standar ds ••• " was a problem for the reviewers. ., in the report that this was done? What proof exists This is not apparent in reading the text of the report, its appendices or methodology. Were comparable statistics of cities of Atlanta's size available in so far as the provision of public services and f acilities? compare with these cities? If so, how did Atlanta �-3Section IId(l) of the contract reads as follows: "The consultant shall: 1) Appraise factors which are conducive to the establisli.ment of an atmosphere of equal opportunity and those factors which create a negative atmosphere to the establishment of equal opportunity through selective interviews of representative neighborhood leadership, businessmen, realtors, and residents in selected neighborhoods of contrasting ethnic and economic composition." · Where in the text or the appendices of the report does a treatment of this exist? Such a treatment would entail, we would think, an . identification, appraisal, and findings of both positive and negative factors related to an atmosphere for establishing equal opportunity in housing. According to Section IId(2) of the contract, the consultant was to have made such findings. This is extremely important and should be the crux or basis of the program recommendations. The tenor of the program recommendations contained in Part II of the report, essentially requires and demands the existance of a "favorable environment". If this interpretation is correct, the consultant has apparently found some positive factors that exist which are conducive to the establishment of an atmosphere of equal opportunity. But , the reviewers could not find any discussion of such a "favorable . environment.. or positive factors in the report. Apparently, the sole bas i s for t he program r econnnendations appear s in t he Introduction to the r epor t. It r eads as follows : "Increas ing res i dent ial segr egation, dilapidation of non-white rental units and accompanyi ng soci al pr oblems are h i ghly i mportant t o , but not pecul i ar t o At lant a . St a ti s tical fi ndings coupled with intervi ew res ults i ndic ate that the City needs a strong program in equal opportunity in h,;:ms ing ••• " Section IIe(l) and (2) of the contra ct r e ad as follows: "The Consultant shall develop specific recommendations based both on experience in other cities and on the findings regarding _ community attitudes. These .recommendations will pertain to: �-4., . 1) general community attitudes and programs to deal with equal opportunity in housing and to reduce or eliminate friction and tension; 2) small area development and programs particularly applicable for areas for renewal to deal with softening of attitudes with respect to equal opportunity. The key words in these three clauses of the contract are the development of specific recommendations. In reading the reconnnendations contained in Section II there are few specific recommendations. A considerable number of the recommendations are extremely general, vague and to some extent useless. Examples of specif ic recommendations are: "The City support legislation at the federal and state levels to prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of housing on the basis of race, creed or national origin. If action in this area is not forthcoming at the federal or state l evel, it is r ecommended that the city adopt local fair housing legislation." "The City adopt an anti-"block-busting" ordinance which would make it illegal to employ panic-inducing tactics to promote a rapid turnover in housing occupancy." "It is recommended tha t the Community Relations Commission be given the responsibility and adequate staff and budget to carry out the city's program for the achievement of equal opportunity in housing." Examples of general, vague and to some extent useless recommendations are: "It is recommended that the city utilize federal assistance availabl e to ci t i es through the Department of Housing and Urban Development t o cover part of the cost of a c oncentrated code enf or cement program in des ignated areas of the city . n "It is recommended that t he city re-evaluate its housing code and other codes t o make sur e t hat they pr ovi de adequa t e t ools for improving existing hous ing. " "It is recommended that the city move, under the Federal Demonstration Cities ;program to improve selected areas on a massive scale." "It is recommended that all city departments examine their activities and levels of service to determine if they serve adequately each residential area regardless of racial occupancy. Programs to correct deficiencies and inequalities should be prepared and implemented." �-s"It is recommended that housing for mixed occupancy be encouraged in outlying areas so that population shifts to the suburbs, if any, will be racially balanced. 11 nit is recommended that the city prepare and implement a formal program to more actively accomodate in-migrants." 2. Crediting the City for what has been done. The Report uses the statistical technique of comparing public services and facilities serving Negro areas to those serving the entire City. Although this technique provides an absolute comparison, it does create a false impression and a negative connotation that nothing is or has been done to improve the situation found to exist. This technique combines what has been done in the ancient past to what has been or is being done in the immediate present with no differentiation between the two. Such a statistical technique makes the current administration look exceedingly blameful, when in fact the current administration has made great strides in these areas. Public services and facilities have been improved and subsequent administrations &iould be encouraged to follow its example. Although, the contract does not specifically require the consultant to provide this credit to the City, it is deemed advisable and desirable in order t o dispell t he f a lse image created. To il lus t rat e stat isti cal technique mentioned above t he following discuss i on appear s i n t he appendices, (Section III , page 11), under Parks and Recreati on. , ., "Community parks in t he city contai ned a t ot al of 287 . 9 acr es . Of this total 34.1 per cent ( 98 .2 acres) are l ocated in ar eas in which Negroes live. Thi s indicates that 43.6 perc ent of the population of the City of Atlanta has only 34.1 percent of the parks space available in their neighborhoods. Another me thod of stating thi s deficiency i s that there i s one acr e of community park space available for every 1,753 peopl e in the city as a whole but only one acre for every 2,240 persons in neighborhoods in which Negroes live • . �-6.. - The parks classified as neighborhood parks contain 216.2 acres in the whole city of which 41.7 percent of 90.1 acres are located in areas in which Negroes live. This category of park space comes closest to providing space equivalent to population ratios. Green spaces in the Negro residential areas are the mose inadequate of all three park categories analyzed. Of the total 88.3 acres in this category, only 10.3 percent (9.1 acres) are located in Negro residential areas. To indicate this vast difference another way, the city-wide average is one acre per 5,717 people whereas in the Negro residential areas there is only one acre per 24,296 people." In the Summary of Interviews the following statements appear, (Section III, pages 14 and 15): "One interviewee _covered the entire range of responses relative to parks recieved in all interviews in this brief statement: 'Park services are woefully inadequate. Fifteen years ago there was only one (Negro) park for the whole city. The parks we have now are poorly maintained. The programs that are given are pretty good, but there's a need for more programmed recreation . The city promised to build about seven parks in the last bond issue; none were built' These remarks were all repeated in one or more other interviews. All indicated that Negroes thought conditions were better in all- white neighborhoods." This illustrates a damaging statement which was not verified or substantiated , particularly when the facts of the last five years or more are that : 1. Presently there are a total of 13 playlots in the City . Twe l ve of th ese are in Negro areas . 2. Twenty- one playlot s ar e planned; 20 of these are for Negr o area s . 3. Since Sep tember, 1964, twenty~two ma jor park pr oj ec t s have been initi ated. Ten of t he t went y-two are clear l y i n Negro neighb orhood s with t he remai ning twelve categoriz ed as general s ervice type f aci l ities , such as t he Grant Park Chi l dren's Zoo . 4. The City has purchas ed 14 new park sites in the las t 2 years; 7 of these ar e clearly in Negro neighborhoods. In relation to schools, the Report recommends, (page 12) that : �-7"The City take immediate steps to improve the educational programs and facilities serving Negro residential areas and to bring them up to the level of white areas." Yet the facts indicate that within the last 5 years or more that: 1. Eighteen schools have either been built, or have undergone modernization and/or enlargement of facilities. The latter would consist of new classrooms, gymnasiums, etc. These schools primarily serve Negro areas. 2. Seven schools are currently under construction which would primarily serve Negro areas. If the new school at Grant Park which will have a ratio of about 50% white and 50% Negro were included this would br ing the total to eight. The abov e are intended as examples only, but should serve to give the consultant some idea of the type of credit that the City is due. 3. Reliance on Interview Technique The use of interviews was made a part of the contract as a means of securing local comments and criticisms of facilities and services provided to Negro areas in the City. As a part of this effort, the consultant did invite CACUR to suggest the names of knowledgeable individuals whom they might consider for inclusion in such interviews. But, to our knowledge, the City has never seen and been provided the whole and official list of those interviewed, what was asked, what was s a id , or how the r esults may have been used by t he consul t ant in t hi s report. As the interview technique has been us ed in this r eport the f ollowing observations are made: 1. The names of the persons interviewed are not listed in the Appendix. 2. The Consultant apparently has taken verbatim the responses which were derived in the course of the interviews as repre- �-8senting absolute .factual information. Obviously, the results of the interviews contained in the report represent slanted and damaging statements which could have been heard in any section of the City - White or Negro. Yet, nowhere did the report attempt to verify the validity of the comments obtained through the interview technique. 3. The information generated by the interview technique has been used in some instances as a basis for program recommendations (as set forth in Part II of the text of the report). Since no attempt was made to verify these comments, responses from the interviews can be taken for no more than heresay information. Yet, it is this information which provides the basis for some of the program recommendations. It would have been more appropriate had the Consultant attempted to extend the scope of his interviews to include responses, replies, and/or reactions from the officials and agencies being criticized. Such an expanded technique would have given a much broader and fairer presentation of the two or more viewpoints, while at the same time such a technique would not have precluded the Consultant from making a judgement between which of the two or more viewpoints was more factual. ,/ �May 12, 1967 Mr .

Earl Landers Admini s trative Assistant Mayor's Offi ce City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Earl: I have re ceived a letter from Robert Weaver concerning the Department of Housing and Urb an Deve lopment 's sponsorship of a conference on the theme "Design in Urban Transportation". This is to be held in Wa shington at the Statler Hilton Hotel on May 22 , 1967. The conference is designed to inform government offi cials , architects, engineers and planners concerned with the development of urban transportation in order to explore the important role that transportation design plays, not only in shaping our cities, but in making them more attractive places in which to live and work. As you know, I have been very concerned about the lack of inv9lvement of Atlanta government officials in transit planning so far . In that Atlanta will be detailing its transit facilities between now and the spring of 1968 and voting a bond issue to develop this system possibly in the spring of 1969 , I feel that a tremendous amount of work is on top of us no t - now five or ten years away. For this reason, I feel that this conference could be very beneficial to the Chairman of the Planning and Development Conunittee, Alderman Cook, and myself. I have discussed this with Rodney and he feels as I do; he can also make this time available. I would like to request approval for the two of us to attend this conference, @ nc er ely, Co~ .

GLAD I N, Dir e c to r SUBJECT: Rezoning Petition #z-66-239-E Simpson Road, R-4 to A- 1 The above rezoning petition was originally heard on December 22, 1966, but had been filed in error by the applicant for C-1 Commercial instead of A-1 Apartments. Our staff had recommended denial fo r commercial but approval fo r a partments . Apartments had been recommended the previous year by the staff . On December 22, the Zoning Committee sent forwa rd to the Boa rd of Alde rmen a recommendation fo r approval as amended from C- 1 to A- 1. The Board, howeve r , on a dv ice from the City Attorney, felt that the petition should be reheard by the Zoning Committee fo r A- 1 Apa rtments . The pe t it ion was reheard by the Zoning Committee on March 9, 1967, bu t the pe t it ion was deferre d fo r further study a nd no a c t ion has been ta ken by the Commi ttee . Th e staff fe e ls that the z oni ng change is just ifi a b le fo r the follow in g reasons: 1 . Access to the tract is from Simpson Ro ad - a major stree t. 2 . The tract is adjo ined to the west by the new high sch oo l site fronting on Hightower Roa d; by Li ncoln Me moria l Ce me tery on the west; and is across the stree t from the cemete ry and a club to the north . A c ul de sac of singl e -fami ly homes backs o n the tract from the south and a 25 1 wooded buffer has been recommended fo r thei r protection . It is the feeling of the staff that these su rroundi ng institutional uses offer a great se nse of open space to the proposed developme nt while prote cting the qrea from future high density development . �Memorandum to Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. - 2 - March 21, 1967 3.

FROM: Collier Gl adin SUBJECT: Mode l Citi es Propos al It has occurred t o me that the Federal Government may announce the awarding of a Model Ci ties Planning Grant to Atlanta during the ea rly part o f June, with most offi ci als o f the City o f Atlanta, and particularly the affected dep artmen t heads, knowing little, if any , of the deta ils of the c ity's Hodel Neighborhood prop o sal. Since the whole earted and enthusiastic cooperation of many of the ci ty's department heads wil l be required in co nducting this tremendous and most complex program, I feel that a meeti ng o f department heads should be called f o r the specific pu rp ose of explaining this program to them, prior to it s b eing officially announced by Washing ton . I feel that this meeting should be set f or Tuesday, May 22, or at least no later than Tuesday, May 29 , and that you should convey to t he departme nt heads the importance and magnitude of this program. The Planning Department is willing to dev elop a slide presentation t o help in explaining it to them . Two other matters co ncerning our Mod e l Ci ties Program also deserve attention. One is the possibility o f pro c eeding with the establishment of the Model Neighborhood ·Exe cutive Board which, as you will remen.ber, is the govern ing board for the Mode l -~ighb orhood Program and consists of the Mayor , two aldermen , Chairman o f the Fulton County Coll'mission, President of the Atlanta Board of Education, one rep res ent ative from State Government , appointed by the Governor, and one representat ive from the private sector, app oi nted by the other member s. I f e 1 ~h at it would be wise t o have this Board functioning and apprised o f th e Mo d~ l Neighborhood Program and its dutie s by the t i rne the announceme nt is made of the grant . In addition , I feel that it is imperative t ha t a Project Director be lined up by the time the grant is announced. �ME ·10RA:NDUM Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Nay 8, 1967 Page 2 As you may re a li ze , a c ert a in amount of time will be r e quired f or devel op i ng t he 1ode l City staff , p rior to any actua l planning work getting underway.

The Council believe s that such a facility is sorely needed to meet a multiplicity of community ne eds , s ome of which are as follows: (1) Primary and secondary school musical (band, orchestra l and choral) concerts (2) Children's theatre and dance presentations (3) Atlanta Art s Festival performing arts events (4) Pol i t ical r allies (5) Other community acti vi ties of interest which have access t o no other stage f acility (6) College productions by Atlanta area colleges. Events which could be presented here would be very attractive to vast number s of Atlanta citiz ens because of t he informal outdoor s etting . This has been demonstrated by the event s presented for t he l ast dozen years by Ar ts Fest i val productions.
