Carl T. ,;;,utoorland Director of Personnel City of l~tlanta Atl~nt , Oeorgii 30303 Dear Mr . Sutherland: It is becoming increasingly more apparent that salary Range No . 54 ($94 38 - -$ 11, 6 22 ) ia r..ot sufficient to ettract a l2rge rn.unb er of qualifi e d appliccnts for the position cf the Zoo Director. To date, we hc:.ve h ad thr0e legitimate • I I . applicants ; one of t'hern HithJre"d his 11ar,1e at the l ast moment, a second one said he ould consider t he position if it paid nore money, and ti1e third one is interested in the job at the range now presentJ.J o ff..:.red. 'lne thi rd applic'1nt appears to be qualified eventhouCJh he is only twenty-six years of age . We were hoping for an older and more experienced individual but possibly may have to make a n ultim~te selection o f thi s single applicant. I feel vecy strong ly that two things shou ld ~e d~ne. 1, that the Personnel Bo ar d ohould pass e resolution ~uthoriz ing the General Manager of Parks to start the Zoo Director at any one of the six s teps in Range Ho. 54 . 2 , rin<l more imFortant, -.!._ mmend a nd ur e t hat cons i deration be given to placing t ¥ s EQSit.ion on anq e No . 60 , wh1c w -'- .ne ,> l , . , i24~ '.i:hi s app0ars to be the minimu.'11 r ange ne cessary to attrect a fully qualified individual and I fee l v e ry strongly that if 1e can ' t get someone who is competent in al l respects we would be just as well off without anyone .
