GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR R. EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. From: Subject: Dan Sweat Grant Review Board - Model Cities Attached are the minutes of the Grant Review Board meeting of December 31, 1968. The recommendations set forth in this document were accepted by the Model Cities Director and have resulted in much better lines of communications between the Model Cities program and the various City departments, other governmental agencies, and private organizations who are involved in the execution of the Model Cities program. The Grant Review Board on February 27, 1969, discussed the current status of the Model Cities program and the resolution for approval for the first year program which will be brought before the Board of Aldermen on Monday, March 3. Collier Gladin, the City's Planning Director, felt that the approval of the resolution should be initiated jointly by the Planning and Development Committee and the Finance Committee and should not imminate from th.e Aldermanic representatives on the Model Cities Executive Board. It was the concensus of the Grant Review Board that the resolution for approval · should come from the E x ecutive Board and that it is the responsibility of each Aldermanic Committee chairman to insure that his committee has given proper attention to the program. It would be desirable for each committee involve d to give its approval/disapp·r o v al on any paper coming from the M o del Cities E x ec u tive Board prior to its being introduced in the Aldermanic Board . Such Aldermanic Committe e e x pression attache d to a Mod e l Cities paper w ould certainly strengthen the pap er and result in much bette r com munications of the entire Model Cities program. �t,__ ·- - '· Mayor Allen Page Two March 3, 1969 In the final analysis, whenever a paper is introduced, it should be the responsibility of each member of the Board of Aldermen to ask that -; t be referred to the particular committee if there is some question about its contents. The Model Cities organization should continue to seek prior approval of City departments and Aldermanic committees prior to introduction of a resolution or ordinance for approval by the full Aldermanic Board. DS:fy �MINUTES GRANT REVIEW BOARD DECEMBER 31, 1968 The City of Atlanta Grant Review Board met in the office of the Director of Governmental Liaison at 9:30 a. m. on December 31, 1968, to review the Atlanta Model Cities Program application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Supplemental Funds. In attendance were: Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison, Chairman, Grant Review Board Collier Gladin, Planning Director, Member, Grant Review Board George Berry, Deputy Comptroller, Member, Grant Review Board Johnny Johnson, Director of Model Cities George Aldridge, City Planner Carl Paul, Deputy Director of Personnel Jay Fountain, Senior Accountant The Grant Review Board discussed with Mr. Johnson several major points of . concern, primarily procedures for approval by responsible City departments and agencies; administrative organization; .a nd personnel requirements. In view of the complexities of the Model Cities Program and the need for full understanding by all responsible City officials, the following concensus of the Grant Review Board membership is hereby presented: The Mod e l Cities Program as established by the President and Congress of the United States is perhaps the most comprehensive and optimistic grant-in-aid program ever offered to America's cities. The concept and intent of the Model Cities Program is good. It provides for th e legally responsible local governing authority to exercise its authority and influence in demonstrating bold new techniques of urban planning and development. It provides maximum opportunity for real involvement and participation by citizens of neighborhoods in the planning and execution of programs whic h effect their daily lives. �. . - Page Two And it promotes coordination among local, state and national agencies and departments of the limited resources which are available. The successful planning and e x ecution of a Model Cities Program can be a valuable experience for any city in its search for orderly and timely solutions · to its multitude of urban problems. Atlanta's City Demonstration Agency has attempted to meet the challenge and intent of the Model Cities legislation. Citizens of all six neighborhood areas encompassed by Atlanta's Model Cities Program were actively involved in organizing and planning for Model Cities more than a year in advance of the beginning of the City's formal planning stage. Local, state and federal public agencies and numerous private groups participated in the preparation of the required planning grant application. The Mayor and Board of Ald e rmen endorsed and supported the planning effort. The Model Cities planning staff worked long and hard to prepare the documents necessary for successful funding of the first year program. The final documents detail a bold and innovative plan of attack on the major problem areas in the Model Cities neighborhood. The Model Cities staff has made an admirable attempt to live up to the concep!: of the 1v!or:! ,,.l Cities . program. To a great e x t e nt they have met both the needs and wishes of the citizens of the area and the requirements of planning and administration of the City and federal gov ernments. l l ~ f l I I The Model Cities Program also places on all City depa rtments and agen cie s the requirement for cooperation, coordination and approval of program c ompone nts. The r e a r e indicatio n s that t h is requi rement has not been m e t . Wher e it h as n o t do n e so , each departme n t a n d age n c y i s obligate d to revi ew a nd pass on t he specific compon ents of the p r og r am w hich assig n s e x ec u t i on re s pons ibilit y to tha t d e p art ment . j . I t ! 1 iI Each committee of th e B o a r d of A ldermen s h oul d r e v i ew a nd a p prove / di s approve each progr a m component whi ch falls w i th i n t h e r e spon s ib ility a n d a uthority of the committee. I The Planning a n d Development Committee should e x erci s e its re s ponsibility for overall plann ing of the cit y by reviewing the Model Cities plan and making u ~----- - i �Page Three the determination as to the compatibility of the Model Cities Program with overall city plans. The Finance Committee should determine the financial feasibility of the program and the capability of the City to meet the requirements placed upon it by the program. The full Board of Aldermen should carefully consider the priorities involved in the Model Cities execution, its impact on the area served and the entire city as well. The Grant Review Board believes these approvals should be given before _Aldermanic sanction is granted. We feel that if the provisions of the Model Cities application are understood and accepted before final approval is granted a much stronger program will result. It should be understood that this is not intended as criticism of the planning grant document or the work of the Model Cities staff, but is an effort to gain full understanding and support of the strongest program in the best interest of all citizens of Atlanta. It is therefore recommended that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen require written acceptance or denial of each component of the Model Cities plan by the d epartments and agencies responsible for the exe cution of each component befor e final approval of the grant application is given.

Please understand fully that I do not approach you pos ing as a philanthropi st. Profes sional and financial advantages to me personally are also involved . My idea i s, over-s imp lifi ed, that if money for training purposes is avai l ab l e from the "Model Cities" or 11 Economic Opportunity" programs in Atlanta , I can provide 200 to 500 permanent jobs, mostly for women, sewing cotton work g loves . Further, the operation could be located wherever desirable from your over-all planning standpoint and, over a period of time, would be completely selfli qu ida ting fi nancially . Your investigation would verify that I s tarted this business from scratch in 1951 and we are at present a factor in our industry, nationally , giving steady job s to over 500 people.

GL AD I N, D i re c to r January 20, 1969 Mr. Johnny Johnson, Director Model Cities Program 673 Capitol Avenue, S. W. Atlanta, Georgia Dear Johnny: ' As you remember the Planning Staff reviewed the proposed Land Use Plan late last November ·and forwa rded their comments discussed them with you and give you a copy of them. I realize impossible to ma ke any changes at that time while the weight of your final report and application was on you. Model Cities to me. I it was next to preparing Now that the application has bee n approved and the program funded, th is would be a good time to continue the planning process through a closer look in order that the se questions may be resol ved. The original comments have been reviewed again and divided into three categories. The first are observations which we think would be helpful to you but involve no errors of fact nor conflict with plans or policies of the city. The second category involves errors of fact, that is where no difference of opinion exists, somebody just put the wrong color on the map. The third group contains the most serious of these comments, these refer to apparent conflicts between Model City plans as we know them and officially adopted plans and policies of the city. · I want to take every opportunity th is year to improve our working relationship and insure that all the plans and policies that result will facilitate the implementation of the Model Neighborhood and are consistent with the overal I goals and plans of the city . I am sure you feel the same way . Sincerely , ~~B. Coll ier G la d in Planni ng Dire c tor C BG/ jp ', �COMMENTS ON MODEL CITIES LAND USE PLAN I. Observations which may be of assistance. A. ALL NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS - GENERAL COMMENTS 1. The overall residential densities have been measured anticipating development slightly above average for the density range indicated, i.e., has been used. if range is 5 - 10, the 8 unit per acre This plan can be expected to accommodate the existing resident population. There have been some minor adjustments that will improve the situation. However, care must be taken not to arbitrarily change the present proposed density ranges unless compensations are made in other locations. This means no single family areas should be inserted where high density is now proposed unless densities are increased in another location. An alternative to this is to abandon the no-displacement goal. · 2. Some deficiencies still exist in park areas and to overcome this and provide space, obviously densities will have to be increased somewhere also. B. MECHANICSVILLE 1. In the area bounded by the Expressway, Bass Stre~t, Formwalt, Dodd and Pryor Streets, the plan proposes high density and mixed corranercial in the next five years; however, redevelopment is not proposed until after 1974 and the present use is mostly single family and vacant. It will be difficult to accomplish the proposed land use in the proposed time period without a program of treatment. �-2-- 2. In the area bounded by the South and Wes t Expr essway, Bass and Formwalt Streets, the plan proposes large areas of commercial and high density residential; however, no treatment is called for prior to 1974 and the present use is now equally divided between vacant, commercial and single family residences. C. SUMMERHILL 1. Between the Expressway and Fulton - Glenwood Streets, the plan calls for high density ref-i oential; however, the treatment plan only calls for activi. ty after 1974 and the present use is mostly vacant, duplexes and single family residences. This area also extends into the Grant Park neighborhood. Obviously some development of this type will occur, but not enough to achieve the expected population density. D. PEOPLESTOWN 1. It is recommended that the frontage along the west side of Washington hetween Atlanta and Ridge Streets be devoted exclusively to high density residential which is in accord with the present uses there. 2. In the block between Washington and Crew Streets from Weyman to Little Streets, high density residential is called for; however, the treatment plan calls for action aft~r 1974 and present use is primarily single family with some apartments maki ng it medium densi t y overall . E. GRANT PARK 1. To compensate fo r t he two pr oposed bl ock parks r edesi gnated fo r s chool purposes , t he recr e ation p lanner s pr opose that one-half of the block bound ed by Ormond, Grant, Atlanta and Hill Street be madea block park. The maj ority of the structures in this block are substandard and slated for clearance in the period 1971-73 . �2. The bl ock b ounded by Hill Stree t, South Avenue , Primr os e and Little Stree ts is pr oposed for corrrnerci a l use. Ther e appear s to be come doubt tha t the t opo of this block is suitable for any kind of unified conunercial development. 3. In the blocks bound ed by Grant , Sydney, Orleans Str eets and Cherokee Avenue, high density residen t ial is proposed. How- ever, present use is perdomina tely single f amily and the proposed trea tment is rehabilit a tion in the period 1971-1973. 4. In the area between the EX'..'Tess way, Grant, Sydney Streets and Park Avenue, the proposed us e is high density residenti a l. This area is for rehabilitation in 1970 and the present use is primarily single f amily. To achieve the indicate d high density, a significant number of high rise units must be built. 5. The area just west of Grant Park Elementary School is proposed for high density residential. However, no redevelopment is proposed prior to 1974 and the pre s ent use is mostly single family or vacant. II. Errors of Fact A. MECHANICSVILLE 1. The pl a n calls for a government center use in the triangle between the railroad, the Expressway and the Pryor Street School. Since most program administration is to be accomplished at two othe r loc ations, ther e appear s t o be no justification fo r thi s c e nte r ar e a. It i s r ecommended t hat t hi s parti cul ar area be us ed f or medium dens i t y r es i denti al . �B. GRAi.~T PARK 1. The Boys' Club is loc at ed in the block bound ed by Killi an, Mar ion, Burn and Elois e Streets. In the Model Cities plan this has been indicated as single family use which is a mistake and should be changed. 2. The r e cre a tion planners have indicated that the area south of Jerome Jones School designated for park purposes should / ! be changed tO school use. 3. I The indust r i a l use existing at the corner of Boulevard a~d the railro ad has been omitted and single family resident.ial use substituted. 4. This should be changed to industrial use. On the east side of Hill Avenue between Grady and the railroad medium density residential is indicated. This is present!~ good single family residential use at low density and no clearance has been proposed. This area should be indicated as low density residential. 5. The recreation planners have indicated that the block park to the east of Slaton School should be used instead for school expansion purposes. 6. The block of the proposed educational park bounded by Hill, Primrose Streets, Georgia Avenue and Cherokee Place is in reality intend ed for another use, that of some sort of private welfare type activity, either profit or non- profit, a nd should be indicated as such and not as an educational use . �-5.- C. SUMMERHILL - 1. -- An expansion of the small coromerc_ i al area at the southeast corner of Atlanta and Capitol is proposed for expansion north and west. The condition of the major structures in the northwest portion is fairly good and there is no program of treatment slated prior to 1974. This would indicate that such a change in use is not indicated nor does there . appear to be a need for additional commercial use when there are other commercial areas ~,ear by. - - . -III. - Conflicts With Adopted Plans and F'olicies A. SUMMERHILL 1. This item concerns the park proposed in the blocks bounded by G_eorgia, Capitol, Little and Crew Streets. The entire Summerhill area needs two twelve acre or more neighborhood parks. The recreational facility proposed at Hoke Smith is not a neighborhood type development and will not serve the neighborhood needs north of Georgia Avenue. This facility south of G~orgia Avenue is proposed to be a "central park" type facility and, therefore, would not seem to meet the neighborhood recreational needs of the area south of Georgia Avenue. The northern block of the park is obviously more suitable for commercial development in conjunction with the other blocks along Georgia Avenue immediately adjacent to the stadium. The other two blocks contain a number of substantial standard apartment buildings whose removal would be expensive and undesirable . �-6The main justification that appears for this site ___is__itL_proximity to the Capitol Avenue School; however, the long range future of this school is questionable in terms of its site and its location relative to the existing and propo~ed-population to be served. A better park location would be next to the proposed j I K,1-3 school mentioned earlier especially if the Capitol Avenue School could also be relocated to this site. The area adjacent to the new school site is proposed for clen.rahce .. - in the perLod __-__197_1,"'.'.t9.?J - while . P9 tr_eatment is proposed for t.~e park site adjacent to the present school until after the 1974 time period with the exception of the block immediately adjacent to Georgia Avenue. 2. The plan calls for a school site in the two blocks bounded by Martin, Little, Ami and Kenneth Streets. The school planners reveal this is only to be a K, 1-3 school requiring only three acres at maximum; therefore, w~thout further justification, for example, a new gramnar school to replace Capitol Avenue, this site appears to be excessively large. 3. In considering the land use aspects of the Hoke Smith Educational Park, it is our understanding that the Parks Department is highly reluctant to buy and develop any large recreational facilities directly abutting a high school as it feels the facility will be monopolized by the school to the detriment of the- rest of the community. The School Board, on the other hand, believes that the Parks Department should acquire the portions of the educational park allocated for recreational use. �-7 The resolution of this problem is not in the province of the land use planners; however, the graphic expression of proposed land use should show .a solution tha t either indicates all educational facility reduced in size to what the School Board would acquire or a recreation use area that is situated to the s a tisfaction of the Parks Department. One glimmer of hope is that the school planners used $80,000 per acre as an acquisition cost; however, the land is slated for clearance in 1970 and hopefully the land could be sold to the School Board at cleared land prices of about $20,000 - $30,000 an acre, B. PEOPLESTOWN 1. Neither the recrea~ion planners nor the city wide Land Use Plan and Parks Plan call for a block park to be located at the end of Linam Street just south of Vanira Avenue. C. PITTS BURGH 1. In this area, there appears to be on~y one major comment to be made. This is that in comparison with the city wide Land Use Plan which proposes a uniform medium density throughout the neighborhood, the Model Cities proposal indicates two high density areas .•. one at the northwest, the other at the southeast. The high density area at the southeast can be adequately served by the existing Pittman Park; however, the high density area to the northwest will provide a large concentration of people who will not be conveniently served by an adequate recreation facility . �- 8D. MECHANICSVILLE 1. All plans call for a C01!1ffiunity facility to be located in the block just east of Dunbar School, and :i.t is my understanding that social progr ams are expected to be administered from here; however, the Land Use Plan does not indicate a space for this facility. 2. Since one block of land that was to be used for park purposes in . our city wide Land Use Plan has been pre-empted by the school board for a ~P.cond school in the area according to the Model Cities Land Use Plan, it will be necessary to add the block now occupied by the Atlanta Transit System to the park proposed in the Model Cities plan in order to get adequate space to serve this large population concentration. ,.. �LOCKHEED-GEORGIA COMP.ANY A D IV I S I ON OF LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT C O R PORAT I ON MARIETTA T.

May President Lockheed-Georgia Company Marietta, Georgia Dear Tom: The City of Atlanta today was announced as America 1 s second city to receive a grant for execution of its Model Cities Program in 196 9. There are so many reasons why our city was able to submit and receive approval of its program ahead of the other major cities -- the support and concern of the residents of the area, the cooperation of public and private agencies in preparing the planning document, the help of the federal agencies and the cooperation and backing of the Board of Aldermen. Another significant and important reason for our success was the direct assistance we received from you and the Lockheed-Georgia Company. We have heard much talk about the involvement of private industry in the resolution of our urban problems. We have also heard expressed the need to provide for the transference of the technologies of modern private industry to our urban governments in order that these problems can be met. The involvement of Lockheed-Georgia in the planning and d evelopment of Atlanta 1 s ·Model Cities Planning document does - both. Without the expert professional and technical capability and the logistical support of Lockheed-Georgia, I think I can safely say that the city could not and would not have been able to complete and submit its planning grant request b e fore well into 1969. Particular thanks are due not only for the most cooperative manner in which the assistance was offered, but also for the personal abilities and interes t of the staff members p r ovided. �--· Page Two December 26, 1968 Mr. Tom May , Mr. Hugh Gordon and Mr. Oz Adams recognized and understood the value to the city of Lockheed's participation. Mr. Richard D. Henderson and Mr. Sheldon R. Dickstein were particularly effective in . scheduling and coordinating the overall Model Cities staff effort and providing, through their own technical proficiency,_ . a direction and organization which substantially contributed to the completeness and quality of the planning document and the · timeliness with which it was completed. Many other fine L9ckheed citizens .contributed 1n the preparation of graphics and printing of the final document. And, of course, your support and encoura&ement of everyone who had a hand in this effort was essential to its final high achievement. Again, my personal thanks to you and the Lockheed-Georgia Company for demonstrating the civic-minded attitude and sense of overall community responsibility which has long been associated m.th your fine company. Sincerely, Iv an Allen, IAJr:hdt Jr. ~ �CITY OF ATLANTA PLANNING DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL POSITION PAPER RELATION OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO MODEL CITIES EXECUTIVE BOARD AND STAFF -PROBLEM STATEMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS- - Respe ctfully submitted , @~B~ Colli er B. G ladin Plan ning Dire ctor February 13, 1969 �The purpose of this paper is to identify certain problems which have arisen in the comprehensive planning process in Atlanta over the past year. The problem centers around a misunderstanding of the responsibilities of the Model Cities Program staff and Executive Board in relation to the responsibilities of Planning and Development Committee and its professional staff arm, the Planning Department. In November 196(, the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Aldermen sponsored and recommended -- approva I of a resolution establishing the Mode I Cities Executive Board. This resolution was subsequently adopted by the Board and approved by the Mayor on November 20, 1967. The resolution specifically stated that 11 the Mode I Neighborhood Executive Board is hereby created for the purpose of administering the planning phase of (the Model Neighborhood) program. 11 · The Planning Department invested a great deal of time and effort both in preparing the Model Neighborhood Application and subsequently in assisting in developing the Model Neighborhood Plan . In fact, much of the material contained in all the Model Cities reports and applications originated and was refined in the Planning Department by its staff personnel. It was and still is our intention to work closely with the Model Cities staff in assuring the success �r -2of th is program. There appears now to be a lack of unde rstanding on the part of the Model Cities staff as to the role and responsibili ty of the Planning and Development Committee and !he Planning Department. The committee, using the department as its staff arm, is charged with the responsibility of reviewing all plans and programs concerned with urban growth, development, and redevelopment throughout the city. The Model Cities Program, on the other hand, is a special purpose six neighborhood demonstration program primarily concerned with one tenth of the city's residents and less than five per cent of the city's area. For consistency sake, obviously the Planning and Development Committee should review the physical programs, plans and proposals developed by this agency for the Mode I Neighborhood ~rea as it wou Id review plans and programs of any othe r a rea of the city for conformance with ove rall city policy and goals . The Planning Department's conce rn is not control over the Model Citie s Program. Instead, the department is simply exercising those functions for whic h it is re sponsibl e a s staff a rm to the Planning and Deve lopme nt Committee and as se t forth in the Code of the City of Atlanta. The de partmen t, as a ge ne ral plann ing age ncy, must have the opportunity to re view plans . Whe n in the de partmen t's professi ona I judgment inadvisab le proposa ls ha ve bee n a dvoca ted tha t lac k a ny justifica tion in v iew of existing c ity policy , the n th e department must have the opportunity of repor t ing su ch si tuations with positive re comme nda t ions for improve me nt to the Planning and Deve lopme nt Committee �-3and eventually the Board of Aldermen. We had assumed at the beginning that conflicts could be resolved through a close inter-staff relationship between the city planning agency and the Mode I Cities agency. Unfortunately and frequently, because of conflict commu~ications have broken clown and th is has not been achieved. The source of conflict has been a disagreement over the necessary degree of conformity between Model City plans and programs and City overall goals and objectives. The Planning Department has attempted to explore and resolve this problem with the Model Cities staff. However, the Model Cities staff seems to interpret this action as a Planning Department attempt to run their program. An analysis of their lack of understanding indicates no apparent realization of the fact that the planning effort for a portion of the city should be coordinated with the city's overall planning effort. It is important to point out here that we are not attempting to stiffle the Model Cities Program or to prevent innovative approaches to problem solving. To take such a view ignores the fact that through the leadership and effort of the Planning Department, with much assistance from other agencies, Atlanta was awarded one of the first Mode I Cities Grants in the nation. Perhaps this whole misunderstanding is based on the Model Cities staff's perception of the Planning Department as a I ine department. Planning transcends traditional departmental lines, is a staff function, and established responsibilities as defined in the Code of the City of Atlanta must be met . One of HUD •s underlying goals for the Model Cities Program was to bring into clear focus �-4problems in governmenta I organization. The department has been we 11 aware of such problems in the Atlanta governmental system as witnessed in the PAS report, a product of the Cl P and pl_anning. Tho~gh that report found fault with the governmental system, it indicated that the present system has worked very well, primarily on the basis of mutual trust and cooperation. In order to avoid further conflicts it is imperative that such a cooperative atmosphere be es tab I ished. It is inadvisable that the alderman ic committee system be used at times and ignored at others, depending on which happens to serve one's purpose best at a particular time. It is difficult enough to make the system work now • The proposed approach being offered by the Model Cities Program (which is to ignore the aldermanic committee system) would invite chaos, unless a suitable and acceptable ove ral I reform is accomplished. The Planning and Development Committee ex pressed its concern over this problem in its meeti~g of January 17, 1969. Chairman Cook asked the Model Cities director several questions concerning the role of the Planning and Development Committee, other aldermanic committee s, and city departments i n the Model Cities Program . Mr. Johnson took the position that the Model Cities Execut ive Board would re port to the full Board of Ald e rmen through the tw o a ld ermanic membe rs of the Executive Board . Th is proce dure, in effe ct , bypasses the Planni ng a nd De ve lopm e nt Committe e a nd to a la rge extent ignores the alderma n ic standi ng c ommittee conc e pt under which the Atla nta City Government present ly o pe rates. In e ffect, the Mode l Cities area is thus �-5treated as a separate entity, apart from the total city. It offers no . opportunity for the Planning and Development Committee to review Model Cities plans and to make recommendations to the Board of Aldermen concerning plan conformity with city general plans. Chairman Cook further indicated that the Planning Department had certain reservations about physical plans for the Model Cities area and a sked what role would be played by the Planning Department in further testing plans for the area. Mr. Johnson stated that he felt the physical plans for 1969 required no change. Here lies the crux of the problem. Mr. Cook stated that the Planning Department was responsibl e for all planning activitie s throughout the city, therefore, the Planning and Development Committee has the responsibility to review and evaluate physical plans develope d for the Model Cities area. This pape r deals with a confrontation in res ponsibilitie s be twee n th e Model Cities staff and Executive Board, the Planning De partment and Planning and De ve lopment Committee of th e Board of Alde rm e n. We strongly suspe ct that th e fundam e ntal probl e ms a nd issu es involved he re could spread. Thus, other confrontations could de ve lop be twee n other de partme nts and their a lde rmanic committees and the Mode l Citie s staff and Exe cutive Board . In this li gh t, we o ffe r the fo llow ing recomme ndat io ns: The a dopt ion of a formal re view proce dure by th e Board of Aldermen tha t is consiste nt with the existi ng a ldermanic committee system is warran ted. In oth e r words, e very reso lu tion , ordi nance , e tc . , wh e n introdu ce d into the Board �-6of Aldermen meeting, must be referred to a standing committee of the Board of Aldermen unless such a rule of procedure is waived by majority vote of the full Board of Aldermen. A time limit on the period of review by the standing committee of the Board of Aldermen could be specified. As with all issues concerning the city, the matter will eventually be resolved on its merits by the full Board of Aldermen. The value of such formal review procedure by the Board of Aldermen should be fairly apparent. It keeps the appropriate aldermanic committees and department staffs informed of proposals and offers an opportunity for reviewing, making recommendations and achieving coordination. As mentioned earlier, to ignore the aldermanic committee system is to invite chaos, unless a suitable and acceptable overal I reform is accomplished. A second alternative approach to the current situation would be to immediately move toward es tab I ish ing a Department of Administration in the Mayor's Office as recommended by the PAS Report. Such a department would include the following functions: Planning, Budgeting and Manageme nt, Personnel, Public Information, and Data Processing. The Model Cities Program, with its innovative approaches and demonstrations, would serve as a testing vehicle for administrative and technical purposes and would be responsibl e· to th e Mayor and Board of Aldermen through the Department of Administration. �- EXHIBITS �.

Conference of Mayors Chairman Cook gave a brief o pe ning statement on how Atlanta has approached and d~alt with urban problem·s to date; th ere was then a free exchange belween the Congressme n and city officia ls . ~ Following this discussion, Mr . Cook asked the members of the Pla nning and �Minutes Planning and Development Committee January 31, J969 - Page Two Development Committee to retire to Committee Room #! to conduct a business session of the Committee. He asked the Congressmen to keep their seat for a presentation by the DepC1,1rr:ent of finance, after which they would take a tour of the Model Cities area and continue their itinerary for the day. The Committee reconvened in Committee Room #I at 3:30 P. M. and the · following business was considered: STATUS OF URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT AREAS - CLOSE OUT Hov-rard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment for the Atlanta Housing Authority, presented each committee mer:nber present a written status report of Atlanta's Urban Renewa'I Program as of January 29, 1969. (See copy attached to original of these minutes). Because of the lengthy agenda only the Butler Street, Rawson-Washington, and University Center Projects were discussed at th is meeting. (_ _, The high I ights of the discussion on each project follows: (Secretary's note - the discussion on each project centered around the Status Report and reference should be made thereto.) Butler Street: The Butler Street Project is the closest to completion, awaiting only the construction contract of the middle school and disposition of a small area of land .. The conversion of the school from elementary to middle has caused~ delay in that the architects had to start over. It appears now that the earliest date construction can start will be the middl~ of August. The Chairman then requested that Mr. Openshaw prepar~ a letter .for his signature to Dr. Letson urging that every step possible be taken to expedite this matter. It was pointed out that a Resolution had be~n passed by the Board of Aldermen designating the area around Ebenezer Baptist Church as a historic site (Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial) and the Housing Author ity subsequently removed the property from the market for commercial reuse; whi le this will not prevent the clos~ out of the project, it does need to be resolved before the Housing Authority can complete thei~ work. ~ Chairman Cook also asked Mr . Openshaw to draft a letter to Mr . Bax ter of l �Minutes Planning and Development Committee January 31, 1969 - Page Three the Department of Housing and Urban Development urging rapid approval on Parcel C-5 and to send him a carbon copy with a note reminding him to personally call Mr. Baxter about the matter. Chairman Cook continued to ask questions and make these requests because of his concern, and the Committee as a whole shared his concern, about the · mounting cost to the city, through interest charges, resulting from delays in closing out the urban renewal projects. Rawson-Washington: The Chairman asked Mr. Openshaw to report what the proje.c t situation would be (relative to the 95% disposition requirement) if any two of the three parcels (Ebenezer Project, park arid school) were disposed of; specifically, could the project be closed out under the condition that the community facilities buildings 14% non-cash credit would be lost. He also asked Mr. Persells to verify with HUD whether or not the credit wou Id, in fact, be lost, since he was not positive about the requirement. · Jay Fountain of the Finance Department was asked to explore the possibility of the city carrying out its commitment in this project through the use of 1 63 Bond Funds. Mr. Cook requested that Mr. Openshaw write Mr. Baxter of HUD requesting that amendment #9 (reference status report) be carried out as quickly as possible. Relative to amendment #9, the question arose as to the disposition of the land in the blocks bounded by Georgia Avenue, Capitol Avenue, Bass and Washington Streets. It was pointed out that the city's Land Use Plan and previous project plans called for some type of commercial reuse for the area . However, a conflict exists with this proposal and the Model Cities proposal, which call.s for the development of temporary office facilities and a Housing Center .~n the sites. Mr . Cook asked who has control of the Rawson - Washington Pro1ect and commented he didn't see how we could plan an area if along the way half the area gets usurped . " · · · 11 Mr . Gladin e mphasi z ed that th is problem is stalemated on the basis of fwo a lderman ic decisions and needs to be resolved . It was noted that the Model Cities people expe ct to occupy their new offices by March I~ . Mr. Cook stated the Model Cities people had wel I re ach some so rt of agreement �Minutes Planning an_d De velopm e nt Committee January 31, 1969 - Page Four "'" w (jj ~ or compromise and he· ente rtain e d a motio n to notify th e m that the entire area south of Georgia Avenue wou Id be conside red for commercial reuse . w 0.. ~ Mr. Openshaw stated he felt we owed them th is kind of di rection; further, he didn't think anything should happen to urban renewal projec t land without the approval of the Housing Authority, Planning Department and this committee. It was the. consensus of the committee that Mr. Gladin notify the Director of Model Cities Program that the entire area in question will be considered for commercial reuse and request that they conside r another location. It was also felt there needed to be further clarification on the line of autfit)rity -· .in this matter. University Center: The committee unanimously approved the Housing Authority proceeding with an amendment deleting from the University Project seven (7) Fulton County owned lots on the south side of Hunter Street, as recommended by the Housing Authority. The elimination of the grade separation at Northside Drive and Hunter Street will require a plan change to permit disposition of the property; commitments by Central Methodist Church and the Celotex Corporation to acquire and develop the land will be required. In discussing close out of the Project, Mr . Persells stated to keep in mind the expansion discussions with Atlanta University.

Atlanta, Georgia Dear Johnny: · ·-·- As you remember the Planning Stoff reviewed the proposed Model Cities Land Use Pion late last November and forward e d their comments to me. I discussed them with you and give you a copy of them. I realize it was next to impossible to make any changes a! that time while the weight of preparing your final report and application was on you. Now that the oppl ication has been approved and the program funded, th is would be a good time to continue the planning proce ss through a closer look in order that these questions may be resolved. The original comments have been reviewed again and divided into three categories. The first are observations · which we think would be helpful to you but involve no errors of fact nor conflict with plans or policies of the city. The second category involve s errors of fact, -·- that is whe re no difference of opinion e x ists, somebody just put the wrong color ___ on the ~op ~- Th e third group contains the most serious of th ese comme nts, these refer to apparent conflicts between Model City plans as we know them and officially adopted plans and policies of the city. · I want to ta ke e ve ry opportunity th is ye ar to improve our working re lationship and insure that all th e plans and policie s that result will facilitate the impl eme ntation -of the Mode l N e ighborhood and are consiste nt with the ove rall goals and plans of the city .

�C01-il·!ENTS I. o~~ HODEL CITIES Lf.~m USE PLAN' -- Observations which may be of assistance. A. ALL NEIGHBORHOOD A'REAS - GfiiERAL COHHENTS 1. -- - -· - · ... ------ -- --· ·- -· The overall residential densities have been measured anticipating _development slightly above average for the density range indicated, i.e., if range is 5 - 10, the 8 unit per acre has been used. This plan can be expected to accommodate · the existing ·resident population. ·· There have been some __p:iinor adjustments that will improve the situation. However, care must be taken not to arbitrarily change the present proposed density ranges unl~ss compensations are made in other locations. This means no single family areas should be inserted where high density _is now proposed unless densities are increased in another location. An alternative to this is to abandon the no-displacement goal. · 2. Some deficiencies still exist in park areas and to overcome this and provide space, obviously densities will have to be increased somewhere also. B. MECHANICSVILLE 1. In the area bounded by the Expressway, Bass Stre~t, Formwalt, Dodd and Pryor Streets, the plan proposes high density and mixed commercial in the next five years; however, redevelopment is not proposed until after 1974 and the present use is mostly single family and vacant. It will be difficult to accofilplish the proposed land use in the proposed . time period without a program of treatment. �--2-- 2. In the area bounded by the South and West Expressway, Bass ·- -- -and Pormwalt Stree ts, the pl.an proposes large areas of commercial and hi.gh density residential; however, no treatment is called for prior to 1974 and the present us e is now equally divj_ded between vacant, comme rcial and single family residences.

~--..-_ ·-- C. ,· St"t:,r!{ZiUiILL 1. Between the Expressway and Fulton - Glenwood Streets, the plan calls for high density re~iciential; however, the treallllent · -··plan only calls for acti vi. ty after 197l• ·and the present use

is .mostly .vacant, duplexes and single family residences.

This area also extends into the Grant Park neighborhood. Obviously some developme nt of this type will occur, but not enough to achieve the expected population density. D. PEOPLESTOHN 1. It is recommended that the frontage along the west side of Washington between Atlanta and Ridge Streets be devoted exclusively to high density r esidential which is in accord _ _ _~ith the present uses there . .2. In the block between Washington and Crew Streets from Weyman to Little Streets, high density residenti a l is called for; however, the treatment plan calls for action aft~r 1974 and present use is primarily sing le family with some apartments making it medium density overall . E. GRANT PARK 1. To compensate f or the two proposed block parks redesignated for school purposes, the recreation planners propose that one- half of the block bounded by Ormond, Grant, Atlanta and Hill Street be madea block park. The majority of the structures in thi s block are substandard and slated for clearance in the period 1971-73 . �2. The block bound ed by Hill Stree t, So11th Avenue , Primrose and ··Little Streets is propos ed for corr:mercia.l use. There appe ars to be corne doubt that th e topo of this block is suitable for any kind of unified commerci a l development. -- --3, · In the blocks bounded by Grant, Sydney, Orieans Streets and Cherokee Avenue, high dens ity residential is proposed. How·· ever, pres ent us e i s perdomin ately sinsle f amily and the proposed treatment i~ rehabilitation in the period 1971-1973. 4. In the area between the Ex~~ress way, Grant, Sydney Streets and Park f\_v_~_nue_, the propos ed use is high density residentj_a l. This area is for rehabilitation in 1970 and the present use is primarily single family. To achieve the indicated high density, a sj_gnificant number of high rise units must be built. 5. l'he area just west of Grant Park Elementary School is proposed for high density r esid ential. However, no r e development is ,. propos ed pr ior to 1974 and the pr esent us e is mos tly sing l e family or vacant. II. Errors of Fa ct A. MECHANI CSVILLE 1. The plan calls for a gover nment cente r us e in the triangl e be tween the railroad , the Expressway and the Pryor Stree t School. Since most pr ogram admini strati on is to be a ccomplished at two other locations, t h ere appears t o be no justifica tion for -- thi s center area. It i s recommended tha t thi s particul ar area be used for medium density residential. 10-·· ~ ~ ... �B. GRANT PAI!.K L ·__ The _Boys' Club is located in the block bounded by Killian, Marion, Burn and Eloise Streets. In the Model Cities plan - ·-·--this - has been indicated as single f amily use which is a mistake and shoul d be change d. 2. The recreation planners have indicated that the area south of Jerome Jones School designated for park purposes should I be ch~nged to school use. 3. The industrial -use existing at the corner of Boulevard .a~d --the _railroad _has _peen__omi_tted and singl~__ family residential use substituted. 4. This should be changed to industrial use, On the east side of Hill .Avenue betwe en Grady and the railroad medium density residential is indicated.· This is presentl~ good single family residential .use at low density and no clearance has been proposed. This area should be indicated as low density residential. 5. The recreation planners have indicatt:d that the block park to the east of Slaton School shoald be used instead for school expansion purposes. 6. The block of the proposed educational park bounded by Hill, Primrose Streets, Georgia Avenue and Cherokee Place is in reality intended for another use, that of some sort of private welfare type activity, either profit or non- profit, and should be indicated as such and not as an educational -use . �-5C. SUNHERHILL 1. An expansion of the small commercial area at the southeast corner of Atlanta and Capitol is proposed for expansion north and west. The condition of the major _structures in the northwest portion is fairiy good and -~ here is no program of tre~tment slated prior to 1974. This would indicate that such a change in use is not indicated nor does there appear to be a need for additional commercial use when there are other commercial areas nearby. III. Conflicts With Adopted Plans and Policies A. SUNHERHILL 1. This item concerns the park proposed in the blocks bounded by Georgia, Capitol, Little and Crew Streets. The entire Summerhill area needs two twelve acre or more neighborhood parks. The recreational facility proposed at Hoke Smith is not a ne ighborhood type development and will not serve the neighborhood needs north of Georgia Avenue . This facility south ~f Georgia Avenue is proposed to be a "central park" type facility and, ther efore, would not seem to meet the neighborhood recreational needs of the area south of Georgia Avenue. The northern block of the park is obviously more suit- able for commer cial deve lopment in conjunction with the other blocks along Georgia Avenue immediately adjacent to the stadium. The other two blocks contain a number of substantial standard apartment buildings whose removal would be expensive and und es irabl e. �-6The main justification that appears for this site is its proximity to the Capitol Avenue School; however, the long range future of this school is questionable in terms of its site and its location relative to the existing and proposed population t9 be served. A better park location would be next to the proposed K, 1-3 school mentioned earlier especially if the Capitol Avenue School could also be relocated to this site. The area adjacent to the new sc~ool site is proposed for clearance in · the period - 1971-1973 - while no treatmen t is proposed for the park site adjacent to the present school until after the 1974 time period with the exception of the block i mmediately adjacent to Georgia Avenue~ 2. The plan calls for a school site in the two blocks bounded by Martin, Little, Ami and Kenne th Streets. The school planners reveal this is only to be a K, 1-3 school r equiring only three acres at maximum; therefore, w~thout further justification, for example, a new grarmnar school to replace Capi tol Avenue , this site appears to be excessively large. 3. In considering the l and use aspects of the Hoke Smith Educational Park, it is our unders t anding that the Parks Depar tment is highly reluctant to buy and develop any large recreationa l faciliti es directly abutting a high school a s it feels the facility will be monopolized by the school to the detriment of the res t of the community. The School Board, on the other h and, be lieves that the Parks Depa rtme nt should acquire the portions of the educational park allocated for recreational use. �-7The resolution of this problem is not in the province of the _land use planners; ho'.-1ever, the graphic expression of proposed land use should show a solution that either indicates all educational facility reduced in size to what the School Board v!ould acquire or a recreation use area that is . situated to the satisfaction of the Parks Department. One glin:rner of hope is that the school planners used $80>000 per acre as an acquisition cost; however, the land · is slated for clearance in 1970 and hopefully the land --- could- be .sold .to _.the School. Board at cleared land prices of about $20,000 - $30,000 an acre. B. PEOPLESTO~-TN 1. Neither the recrea~ion planners nor the city wide Land Use Plan and Parks Plan call for a block park to be located at the end of Linam Street just south of Vanira Avenue. C. PITTSBURGH 1. In this area, there appears to be only one major comment to be made. This is that in comparison with the city wide Land Use Plan which proposes a uniform medium density throughbut the neighborhood, the Mode l Cities proposal indica t es two high density areas ••• one at the northwes t, the other at the southeast. The high density area at the S·outheast can be adequately served by the existing Pittman Park; however , the high densi ty area to the northwes t will -provide a large concentration of people who will not be conveniently served by an adequate r ecreation facility • .- �--8D. HECHANICSVILLE lr All plans call for a community facility to be located in the block just east of Dunb ,:tr School, and it is my understanding that social programs are expected to be administer~d from here; however, the Land Use Plan does not indicate a space for this facility. 2. Since one block .of land that was to be used for park purposes in our city wide Land Use Plan has been pre-empted by the school board for a s~cond school in the area accord - ing to the Model Cities L~nd Use Plan, it. w_i ll _be . necessary ____. to add the block now occupied by the Atlanta Transit System to the park proposed in the Model Cities plan in order to get adequate space to serve this large population concentration. " ,- -· .. �MINUTES GRANT REVIEW BOARD DECEMBER 31, 1968 The City of Atlanta Grant Review Board met in the office of the Director of Governmental Liaison at 9: 30 a. m. on December 31, 1968, to review the Atlanta :NJ;odel Cities Program application to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for Supplemental Funds. In attendance were: Da:!:1 Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison, Chairman, Grant Review Board - - -·collier Gladin, Planning Director, Member, Grant Review Board George Berry, Deputy Comptroller, Member, Grant Review B bard Johnny Johnson, Director ·of Model Cities George Aldridge, City· Planner Carl Paul, Deputy Director of Personnel .J;ay Fountain, Senior Accountant The Grant Review Board discussed with Mr. Johnson several major points of concern, primarily procedures for approval by responsible City departments ana agencies; administrative organization; and personnel requirements. In view of th e complexities· of the Model Cities Program and the need for full understanding by all responsible City officials, the following co.ncensus of the Grant Review Board memb e rship is hereby presented: ·-·· - - ·. . -· ·- · -

The Model CitiE:s Program as established by the President and Congress of the

---trnited States is perhaps the most comprehensive and optimistic grant-in-aid program ever offered to America's cities. The concept and intent of the Model Cities Program is good. It provides for th e legally responsible local governing authority to exercise its authority and influence in demonstrating bold new techniques of urban planning and development . It pro vid e s max imum opportunity for real involvement and participation by citizens of neighborhoods in the planning and execution of programs w hich effect their daily lives. �Page Two And .it promotes coordination among local, state and national agencies and departments of the limited resources which are availabl~. The successful planning and _execution of a Model Cities Program can be a valuable experience for any city in its search for orderly and timely solutions to its majtitude of urban problems. Atlanta's City Demonstrafion Agen-cy has attempted to meet the challenge and intent of the Model Cities legislation. Citizens of all Si?( neighborhood areas encompassed by Atlanta's Model Cities - Program were actively involved in orga nizing and pla nning for Mod e l Cities more than a year in advance of the beginning of the City's formal planning stage. Loc_al, state and federal public agencies and numerous private groups participated in the preparation of the required planning grant application. Th~ Mayor and Bo a rd of Aldermen endorsed and supported the pl a nning effort. The Model Cities planning staff worked long and hard to prepare the documents necessary for successful funding of the first year program. The final docume nts d e t a il a bold and innova tive plan of attack on the m a jor problem ar eas in the Mode l Citie s neighborhood. The Mode l Citie s s t a ff has made an admirable attempt to live up to the concept of the Model Cities. program. To a great extent they have met both the needs and wishes of the citizens of the ar e a and the requirements of planning and administra tion of the - City and fed e ral governme nt s . The Mode l Citie s Program al s o places on all City d e partments and ag e ncie s the requireme nt for cooperation, coordination a nd approval of program _____ _ con::i-pone nts. The r e are indic·ations tha t thi s r e quire m e nt h a s not b een m e t. Whe re it h a s not done so, each department a n d age ncy is obliga t e d to r evi ew and pa s s on the spe cific compone nt s of the pro g ram which assigns e xec ution respons ibility to tha t d e p a rtm~ nt . Each commit tee of the Board of A ld ermen shoul d review and approve/disapprove each program component whi c h fa ll s within t he responsibil ity and a uthority of the com mittee . The Plann ing and De v e lo pment Committee s h o uld exerci se it s responsibility for overall planning of t he city b y revi ewing t he Model Cities p l an and making �_Page Three the determination as to the compatibility of the Model Ci.ties Program with overall city plans. The Finance Committee should determine the financial feasibility of the program aI?,d the capability of'the City to ·meett:he · requirements placed __ u~on it by the program. The full Board· of Aldermen should carefully consider the priorities involved in the Model Cities execution, its impact on the area served and the en '..~ Te city as well. · The Grant Review Board believes these approvals should be given befor,e Aldermanic sanction is granted. We feel that if the provisions of the Model Cities application are understood and accepted before final approval is granted a much stronger program \\'ill result. It should be understood that this_ is not intend e d as criticism of the planning grant document or the work of the Model Cities staff, but is an effort to gain full understanding and support of the strongest progr a m in the best interest of all citiz ens of Atlanta. It is therefore recommended that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen require written acceptance or denial of each compone nt of the Iv1odel Cities plan by the departments and agencies responsible for the execution of each component --· before Jina! approval of the grant application is given.

The attached memorandum received from the Washington Office of the Department of Housing and Urban Development deals mainly with the method for using unspent and surplus Model Cities supplemental funds and establishing a date for the beginning of our 2nd year program. 1. 1 I I i It is our projection that at the end of our present contract year, May 31, 1970, we will have approximately $2,500,000.00 in unspent and unallocate_d funds. After examining all of t h e various possibilities for the use of these funds, the staff ! has determined that they should be used for one-time capita lI , expen d itures. I We are in the process of establishing a list of projects th~t will me et this criteria and would like to submit it to the I Board at an early date for consideration. In the meantime, : if you have any ideas or suggestions that you feel should be included on this list, please contact me at your earliest convenience. The Department of Housing and Urban Development would like an indication from us about the use of these funds before February 20. vlc cc: Mr. Dan E. sweat, Chief Administrative Officer Mr. Charles Davis, Comptroller Executive Board Members I �DRAFT:McLean:ez 12/1/69 TO

Attention: .l!.1.rL REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS Assistant Regional Administrator for Model Cities FROM

Robert H. Baida, Deputy Assistant Secretary (MCGR) SUBJECT

Establishing the Start of the Second Action Year I. Purpose. T1:lis memorandum sets forth the procedure for establishing the star t of the second action year for each first round Model City. It follows discussion at the July and October meetings of Assistant Regional Administrators and response of ARA's in September to a memorandum dated July 28, 1969, asking how Regional review loads might be spaced out. II. Considerations. Among consider ati ons i n s etting t h e s tart o f s econd a ct ion years are t he f ollowing ~ 1. Nece s s i ty of spac i ng review. l oads. If ever y fir st r ound city had exactly a 12-month f i rst action year, abo~t one-half the first round cities and perhaps one-half the second round cities would come up for review at the same time. 2. Effect on the cities. In some cities, it appears from results so far, there is an advantage in entering the second action year as soon as possible. Continued planning efforts point to a better second year program mix than the presently funded first year package. Shift to the second year may give the city an opportunity to kill a few doubtful programs before they start. on the other hand, some �-2- other cities have started a lot of promising projects but have not kept pace with their monitoring and evaluati on efforts. A later shift to second year prograrnrning--perhaps 15 or 16 mont~s after the start of the firat year--may give evaluation a better chance to impact the second year decisions. 3. Adjustment to local calendars. Some cities will want to fit their Model cities program year to the city fiscal year. prefer not to do this. Others may Some cities may wish to avoid making program decisions at the time of municipal elections. There may be other local reasons for preferring one renewal time over another. 4. Effect on quality of review. Because of changing conditions in the cities--new leadership, a later start of projects, etc. - -ther e may be some cities which the RICC and the HUD staff feel will be e a sier to r eview at a later time than others . 5. Funds a vai l able to the cities . Obvious ly a cit y that is r unn ing out of money mus t be reviewed pr omptly, or perhaps given a f ew months' money t o finance a first year cont inuation until the second year planning c an be rev iewed. At tnis point, however , it appears very doubtfu l that any first round cities are going to be out of funds 12 months after their contract signing. III. carry-over of unspent funds. An important factor of entering the second action year is the disposition of funds obligated to the city for the first action year but not spent. In various ways· we have promised the cities that such funds may be carried over into succeeding years, providing the city is performing well in the program. A city that may have started �-3- s L ;·;:·iy but has steadily increased prcgram momentum during the first shou ld .?:".ot be punished in the second year. y \-:;.·-'.z Howeve2~ ., ·i:ib.e national pn1:f,ose of the Model Cities Program may not I -& l1a l l ser'\;:.~d by allocating a full second round target figure to cities whi t:~-:. have shown little or no promise in getting good programs started in the first year. Even for good cities , there may be a problem in building up a spending rate in the second year which cannot be maintained ·in the third year. For example : City A has a first round target figure of $4 million and a second round figure of the same. During the first year, while projects were starting up, it spent only $2 million . With carry- over, it then has $6 million for the second year . If the city's supplemental spending consists entirely of on-going staff or other expenses , as compared to one-time capital expenses, f or whi ch t here is no take-over sour ce in the thir d year , it c a nnot establish a $6 million spending rate in the second year without facing a l i kely cut of $2 million for the thir d year. The tendency o f all pro ject s to get more expensive without i ncreasing t h eir scope (because of pay raises, more utilization of services and other reasons ) heightens this risk. Therefore, cities shall not be allowed to use their remaining first round funds to increase their second year spending rate except to the extent that: 1. An amount equal to the first round carry-over is applied to capital or other projects which, by their nature, will not require renewal in the third year, or 2. The city can demonstrate a commitment from other sources, �i--4- pr,;:;i erably local or State, to ca.rry out the excess on-goi.r•.g project:f£1 i r,, year tr.iree, or 3. A combination of #1 and #2. In cases where the city has carry-over but cannot meet the abov9 conditions for spending the carry-over in year two, either of ·cn e following steps may be taken : A. The city's first year may be stretched out to use all or part of the carry-over. This technique should be used when a stretch-out is desirable for other reasons--in particular, when it will result in a better second year program, or Bo The city may be renewed without stretch- out, but the allowable second year spending level will be held to the second year target figure without the carr y - over, or without that part o f the carry- over not covered by paragraphs 1 to 3 immediately above . Exampl e : City A, cited above, shows that $1 mi ll i on of its projected second year programmi ng repre sents one-time expenditure , either as capital projects or as projects for which other funding i s secure for t h e third year. It's s pending guideline for the second year would be $5 mil~iono The c ity would not b e permitt ed to carry f orward $1 million of its f i rst year fund s o Where a city , because of a ppl ication of t he above, i t not allowed to add all or part of its carry-over to its second year spending level, it should be indicated to the city that it may get the remaining increase during the second year.if it can come up with �-sone~,·cime projects as described above. Ex~ple: Half-way through its second action year, City A :j.qentifies a new adult educa-t:ion .. project for which State or local funds will be available in the third year. It may start this project .on supplemental funds in advan.c e of its other funding. Given these operating considerations and policies, we now request that ARA's recommend a specific starting date ·for the second action year of each first round city. This date should be not less than ten months nor more that 18 months after start of the first action year. It will be the central Office intention to follow the AR.A's recommendations providing the total pattern of recommendations is consistent with obligation and spending patterns. If recommen- dations have to be changed ·. to meet these considerations·, it is hoped t'!lat the changes will a:ffect only a few cities. Proposed changes will be discussed with the ARA's, and time will be allowed to discuss them with the cities before final decision. �lJ WilILILilAM (G~ANT 1rlE]R{]R{1f A§§OCilA TIE§ ._,i lau<'fleJJ1Pnl 1foJ1,'>ffllr1J1/J SUITE 425 STANDA RD FEDERAL BUILDING • ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 • 44 BROAD STREET, N .W.

In a letter to City Demonstration agencies, the Department of ' Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has outlined specific requirement s for implementation of this provision. The City o f Atlanta, as City Demonstration Agency (CDA) for the Atlanta Mo del Cities Program, has been approved for a grant o f more than seven million dollars for t he current program year. The HUD employme nt requirements are applicable to the Atlanta CDA and all other agenc ies participating in the Atlanta Model Citie s Pr ogram. At prese nt, there are thir ty-three ( 33 ) such agencies in a dd i tion to the CDA. Exi s t ing local pol icy on Model Cities e mp l oyme nt is conta ined in a res oluti on approved by the Model Cit ies Executive Commit tee and adopted by the Mayor and Boa r d of Al dermen of the City of Atlan ta. While more lim ited in scope t han the HUD re qui rements, the resolution provides that "a ffir mative action be taken to insure that residents of the Model Neighborhood Area ar e given max imum opportunity for training and employment, " and tha t "The Mode l Cities Program and �" -2 - its contracting agencies be encouraged to develop compre he nsi ve s y stems for progressivel y t raining a n d upgrading workers at all levels .... " The present need is for a c omprehensive employment program wh ich will fulfill the HUD requirements, as well as those set forth in the Executive Committee and Aldermanic resolutions. II . DEFINITION AND SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT William Grant Te r ry Associates (WGTA) proposes to develop for the CDA and its contracting agencies a comprehensive employment -1 per sonnel management program which will comply with the requirements des c r ibed above. We fu rthe r pr op o se to develop and recommend the necessary a dministrative machinery for coordinating, implementing, monitoring , e valuating, rep or ting and enforcing the policies and procedures included in this program, and to provide technical assistance and tra ining to make possible a dynamic ongoing p rogram after termination of our servic es . The project will emphasize r ap idly-achievab le goals which incorporate invo lvement of the contracting agencies and Model Citie s area residents, with the work perf ormed in three phas e s during a six-month period. III. WORK TO BE PERFORMED A. PHASE ONE - Anal y sis and Development (four months) �- 3- Du r i ng the i nitia l phase of the proj e ct, WGTA proposes to provide the following services: 1. Analyze and evaluate the existing personnel policies and practices of the CDA and contracting agencies. This will include a review of hiring, training, promotion and grievance procedures. The immediate goal will be to identify and eliminate impediments to employment and upgrading of the disadvantaged. 2. Analyze and revise job classifications for the 350 to 400 • job clas ses now in use , reducing their number to a minimum, providing program-wide standardization, and eliminating inconsistencies, duplication, overlap and conflicts_ 3. Analyze salary schedules and develop a standardized guide t o job pric i ng. 4. De ve l op a standard procedure for processing job orders. 5. Develop a prototype personnel management system for the CDA and contracting agencies, plus broad minimum guide lines within which agencies may submit their own policies to fit individua l circumstances. a. Items covered will include recruitment and selection, position and compensation, employee benefits, work schedules, in-service and cross service training, career development, performance evaluation, employee-management relations and nondiscrimination policies. �- 4» b. Specia l attent ion will be given to opportunities for upward mobility through cross-service promotion and the transferability of qualifications and credits for experience among the agencies involved. 6. Develop internal and external communication systems to: a. Inform employees of promotion , training and other advancement opportunities in their own and other agencies. b. Inform Model Cities area residents of employment • opportunities generated by the program. 7. Develop a system for reviewing and amending the employment program and for resolving disagreements. The emphasis will be on procedures to enable area residents, including those employe.d in the program, to: 8. a. Review policies and programs. b. Negotiate for adjustments. c. Participate in resolution of disagreements. Identify the relationships link ing the employment program with o ther supportive programs and services of the overall Model Cities Program, and recommend appropriate adjust ments in these relationships. 9. Devel op a plan for applying the HUD employment require ments to all construction and rehabilitation work in the Model Cities area. This will include : �- 5» a. Recommendat i on s for trades uni o n parti c ipa ti o n a nd/o r a l t er nat i ve me t h o ds o f a ssu r ing i mpr oved employ ment o pportunities f o r t h e disadvantaged. b. Desi gn of a recruiting a nd training program to p re pa re area residents for work on construction a nd re habilitation projects. c. Pr o jec t i o n of tradesmen nee d ed. d. Devel o pme nt and recommendation o f policies g i v ing preference in all construction and r~ h a bilitati o n wor k to Mo d e l Neighborhoodbased contractors, designe r s, planne r s, arch i tects a nd surv e y ors, and/ o r those empl oy i ng si g nificant numbers of a rea r esidents . B. PHA SE TWO - Pr es en t a ti o n and Ad opti on ( on e month) The s econd pha s e of t h e p r ojec t will b e devote d to p r esentation o f t h e e mpl oyment p l a n to the ap p r opr i a t e b od i es and agencies fo r their revi e w, a me n d men t and adoption . Committee resolution, Ame ndme n t of the Exe cu tive i f ap p r opr i ate, a l so wil l be sche duled in this ph ase. WGTA's role during the sec o nd phase will be to prov i de technical assistance to the CDA in the orientat i on, presentation, c l arification , discussion and revision involved in the a pproval and adoption proce ss. Technical assistance will also be provided to the contracting agencies for establishment of goals and commitments. While scheduled for �- 6- o ne mo nth , · the actua l dur at ion of this phase ma y be l o nger or shorter, depending on time necessary for meetings, etc. C. PHASE THREE - Implementation (one mo nth) The third and final phase of the project provides for implementat i o n o f t he program developed during phase one and approved during p hase two. It is during this period that the necessary administrative machinery will be put into operation to implement, enforce, evaluate a nd report o n the empi oyment program. During this phase, the role of WGTA will be to serve in the ' capacity of trainers and technical advisors, and to provide liaison between the CDA and the contracting agencies. �ATTACHMENT 1 STAFF COST AND ESTIMATE As stated in the proposal, we propose to complete this project within six months of its. inception. This will require a greater concentration of professional consultants than would be required i f t h e t i me for completion could be extended. We envision essential- ly three (3) full-time personnel. Our special billing rate for Federally funded programs is $100 per d ay per man. Your atte r, tion is invited to Section III, "Work To Be Performed" " on pages 2, 3, 4, and 5 of our proposal. You will observe that ex tensive vi s itation in the 33 contracting a g encies will be mand a tory. Fur t hermore, considerable time will be required in job evaluation and t he wr iting o f job descriptions. The developme nt of plans and systems wil l requi r e s u ffi cient rese a rch in or der to acquire t he s p ecific designs necess a ry to assure feasibility. Our f ee f or the complete project will be $39,000. This is a n all- inclu sive q u ota t ion f o r pro ~essiona l con s ul ting a nd research time, s ecretar i a l and other cle r ica l costs, d e sig n and re production of for ms, questionnaires , e t c . The fee does not i nclude t h e cost of printing and art work, since t h e volume of such work will be determined by Model Ci tie s . We render our bills monthly during an assignment. We shall appreciate a n opportunity for further discussion of this subject. �I I

Nixon, Director ---·--- -------of Public Works, City o f Atlanta �PosJtion Paper• bity Of Atlatlla Acquisition of Land by Southern Railway in the Modei Cities Area of Atlanta I. Introduction A. Purpose This statement reflects the concerns of the following operating agencies with reg&rd to expansion plans of Southern Railway: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Model Cities Program Atlanta Parks Department Atlanta Planning Department Atlanta Housing Authority Atlanta Public Works Department It is limited to these major areas: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. II. Land Use and Housing Transportation Relocation of Families Pittman Park Acquisition Inconsistency with Major Planning Efforts Conclusions Areas of Concern A. Land Use & Housing 1. Result. Industrial land use will increase through the enlarged yard facilities while residenti al and park acreage will decline. 2. Effect. Under present plans the resulting increase in heavy industrial activity threatens the stability of the remaining residential neighborhood. Residential property values will decline since living close to a railro ad stor age ~ . �-2yard is ~ndesirabte. With9ut proper pianning there will be an increase in the structural deterioration oi homes adjadent to the yard. B. Transportation 1. Result. Railroad activity will increase above existing levels and the proposed yard limits will dead end various local streets. 2. Effect . (a) Dead-End Streets The expansion, as proposed, will cut-off seven streets in the Pittsburgh Neighborhood . These streets and the number of structures which will be located on the resulting dead-end streets are ~ 1) Windsor Street 0 structures 2 ) Garibaldi Street - 12 structures 3) Gardner Street 1 structure 4) Ira Street 4 structures 5) Rockwell Str eet 0 structures 6) Smith Str eet 16 str uctur es 7) Ber ckele S treet 6 st r uctures - - - 39 str uctur es On these same seven streets , a s pres ently e xisting , there are 1 1 s tructure s o n the dead-end p o rtion s o f t h e streets . I t will have to b e determined if a ny o f the propose d dead-end s t reet s are of sufficient length t o necessitate a turn around. If one is needed 0 then additional properties may have to b e acquired to provide the turn around. The expansion of Southern Railway 0 as proposed 0 includes portions of several streets. To �-3implement this plan, it will be necessary for the City to abandon parts of these streets. A public hearing will have to be held to determine if these streets should be abandoned. (b) McDanield Street Crossing The principal connector between the Pittsburgh and Mechanicsville Neighborhoods is McDaniel Street . This street presently crosses the Southern Railway tracks at-grade. When trains are coming to or leaving the storage yards , McDaniel Street is often blocked for relatively long periods of time . To eliminate these long delays, a proposal has been made to construct an underpass under McDaniel Street. Total cost of this project as estimated by Public Works Department is $1 , 050,000o This does not include ri ght-of-way damage or relocating water lines . To accomplish this project , three or four tracks will have to be killed during construction. This will be difficult since increased train traffic past McDaniel Street will occur if the existing storage yard is expanded . No date for constr uc tion of this underpas s has been set . I f this p r oject is not i mplemented , the incr eased t r ain t r affic f r om the p r oposed storage yar d will fu r ther i n c r ease the lon g delays at t he at - g r a d e c r ossing. ( c ) Fortress Avenue Cr oss i n g Fortress Avenue also conne c ts the P ittsburgh and Mechanic s vill e Nei ghborhoodso Since this s tre e t do e s not l e ad to any major streets and since it crosses the Southern Railway tracks at-grade, Fortress Avenue is not heavily used. Also, trains are parked at times across Fortress Avenue discouraging use of the str eet . �-4- The increased train traffic resulting from expanded yard facilities will all but eliminate the use of Fortress Avenue. There are no plans at this time to improve Fortress Avenue. c. D. Relocation 1. Result. The proposed land acquisition will affect about 100 families. 2. Effect. These people must move without being paid the allowances received by urban renewal displacees: moving expenses and differential paymentso They will not be eligible for temporary housing presently being provided by the Atlanta Hqusing Authority. And their exodus will further contribute to the city's current deficiency in standard housing units for people of such low income. Consequently, the forced movement of such a large number of people by an agency with public responsibility does not reflect recent trends to finance and provide direct housing assistance to such groups , nor does it reflect t h e present trend of business to become involved in the human problems it creates. P ittman Park Acqui s ition 1. Re sult. A portion of Pittman Par k mus t be a c qui r ed f o r r a i l r oad use while adjacent r esident i al and indus t r ial p r oper ty wi ll be acquir ed and add ed t o t h e r emaining par k site . The gymn asium , swimming po ol , and tenn is court s wil l have t o b e d emolished a nd recon s truc t e d: f i nancing is b e ing provi d e d by Southern Railway . 2. Effe ct. Pittman P ark comes close st t o b e ing the most ideal recre ation and p a rk facility in the entire Atlc.nta system. It has b e en bless e d with a fairly complete list of physical facilities, as well as a real outstanding staff. Pittman Park lies within what is referred to as a Neighborhood Service Area Number 20 8 as defined by the A.tlanta �-5Parks and Recreation 1983 Plan. Due to the fact that the Parks Department does not wish to relocate large numbers of people adjacent to the park, they have abandoned any thought of having a full-fledged community park in this neighborhood ~ A community park consists of not less than twenty-five acres · and obviously many, many people would be dislocatedo Thusf they have proposed to convert Pittman into an "expanded neighborhood park" by adding about three acres . The Planning Department has recommended that they acquire the brickyard to bring up the acreage total but their owp design staff opposes this particular direction of expansion. The Park's position, specifically, with Southern Railway System is that , if the park must be bothered , there must be ful l and rapid replacement of all facilities interfered with and these facilities must be bigg er and better and more modern than the e x isting facilities. Eqm, lly ·important, the project must not violate the supe.;: ior philosophy of Model Cities. E. Inc~nsistency with Major Planning Efforts 1, f esul~~ The expansion o f industrial uses in this area ls not cons i stent with existing city p lans fo r the area including the f ol l owing: a. 1983 P a r ks and Recr eati o n Plan b . NDP ?lan f o r Mo d el Cities 0-. 1983 Land Use Pla n f o r Atlanta c1. Mo de l Cities Land Use P l an a nd Five Year Comprehe nsive P lano 2. Eff~. All city plans are interrelate d, some more s o than others. Th e Pitt man Park s e rvice area and plans for recre ation program e xpansion is contingent upon the preserva tion o f Pittsburgh as a resiiential community. Business areas, schools. park, and rehabilitation areas are proposed because of tL~ relationship of these land uses to surrounding uses. The inclusion of an industrial use in this ctea - without proper consideration and control will nullify the past years of work that the city �-6- has committed to this neighborhood - not to mention the cost of this work and the involvement of residents working to better their own environment. For example , the Housing Authority's concern is to determine whether or not the Southern Railway expansion plans are consistent with the Neighborhood Development Program plans prepared by each of the six Model Cities neighborhood resident committees and their planning consultants in conjunction with the staff of the City Planning Department, the Model Cities staff and the Atlanta Housing Authority . Federal and local funds are being provided to carry out these plans which are approved by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta and the Federal Government. Contractural agreements preclud~ the City from taking any actions such as rezoning or closing of streets which are contrary to the plans approved by the City , the Federal Government and the Housing Authority . I II. Alternative Considerations On the basis of an analysis of proposed plans, two major conclusions have been formulated. A. Selection of Another Site. The foregoing concerns can be minimiz ed if the r a i lroad e xpanded nor th a nd east - into the existing i ndustr ial area o f Mecha nicsv i lle - instead o f south and west into a p ark a n d establ i shed r e sidentia l n eighborhood . Th i s dir ect ion will elimi nate a large , unsi ghtly a nd rat infes ted junkyard a nd also r e l o c ate only a h a ndful o f famili es as opposed to t h e 1 00 p r esent l y a ffected. Bo Involvement of Ra i l road with Age nci e s Re sponsible for _Planning a The ut i lizing o f any site for Railroad expansion can b e found only if the railroad and city agencies develop a closer working relationship than has e x isted to this pointo �December 17 , 1969 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor-Elect Massell From: Dan Sweat Subject: Model Cities Program This memorandum is provided for your general information so that you will be aware of the administrative situation in i-egard to the Mod.el Cities Program a it is now established. Technically, the Model Citi s Program i8 a part of the Mayor's Office. Its budget, I.or example, is und r the administration of the Mayor , although Mayor Allen has delegated the r spon ibility for approving the disbursement of project funds to the Model Cities Dit ctor. This organizational structur was established in accordance with the Mod 1 Cities Act th t r quir d the program to be a "Mayo:r ' s Program". Th me act, howev :r, r quired broad citizen participation in the program. In att mpting to r coricil this r quir :rnent with Atlanta's committ system, it wa decided that the Executive Board of th program. would b chaired by the Mayor and would have on it two Ald rmen in addition to cltiz ns and oth r of£icial • It was furth r d cided that all re olution arid official action r quired fortl:he program would come from the E:gecutive Board to the appropriate Ald rmanic Committee but, becau e th M yor and two member 0£ the Alderma:nic Board re on the Ex c:utive Board, the other Ald . :rm n would not have to be overly concern d with th detail of th program and could act on th recomme:n• dation of the Ex ·cuUv Board With confidence. Thi ituation has er ated som · problems in determining th M yor' xactrrol in the administration of th program. Notwith tandin the f d r l governm nt' poeition th t the pro :r m l8 th r pon ibUity of the M yoi.-, our Boar-d of Ald i-m n must, of couJP , giv it anction to th d y to d y ctivitl und r oui, ay~tem. Furth l', th citi on �Memorandum Page Two December 1 7, 1969 participation requirement must be met. This brings up the question of who can make administrative decisions; the Mayor, the Executive Board, or the Board of Aldermen. At present, the Model Cities Director feels that he is on the staff of the Mayor, but decisions concerning bis program are officially made by the Executive Board. Further, the Board of Aldermen should not normally question actions made by the Executive Boa.r d if they are within the context of the approved program. Even less clear and of some concern to me is the exact role that the Mayor ' s Staff is to play in the Model Cities Program. The Director has made it clear in the past that he feels that it is his position that he answer Birectly to the. Executive Board and specially to the Chairman, the Mayor.

Wood, Member at Large September 25, 1969 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: Atlanta Youth Council-Model Cities Proposals Dear Mayor Allen: The Board of the Youth Council has requested that I wtite you to exp~ess its concern over the Juvenile Delinquency Proposals for the Model C&ties area. In early November, 1968, Model Cities' staff contacted the Youth Council and requested that the Council submit proposals for special programs to be undertaken in the Model Cities area. You will remember that the Youth Council submitted 5 separate proposals a s a part of the Mode l Cities program. These proposals are a s f ollows: 1. Absenteeism Project 2. Central Coordination Services for Model Cities Yout h 3. Juvenil e Delinquency Prevention 4. United Youth Outreach and the Model Cities Branch of the Atlant a Youth Congress. It is my underst anding t hat these pr oj ects wer e a part of the tota l programs submitted to and approved by HUD. Last April, Jerry Luxemburger and J ohn Cox appeared before the Review Board and as I understand , questi ons were raised concer ning t he Absenteeism Project, whereupon it was decide d that this particul ar project should be operated by the Public Schools and the others were approved by the Review Board and considered to "be all right". It is my further understanding that Jerry Luxemburger met with Dan Sweat to obtain your general position concerning the Youth Council projects, at which time Jerry was informed that all these projects were approved by you except the Absenteeism Project. AN AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA �-2- The most important proposal submitted was our Juvenile Delmnquency Program. This as you remember, is the very purpose for which the Council was created. You may not know that the Model Cities area, accounting for only a fraction of the city's population of children (less than 4%) accounts for a substantial percentage (17%! of the city's juvenile delinquency. The Youth Council Board has heard that the Juvenile Delinquency Program is proposed to be deleted from the list of funded projects. We again request, as we did last spring, a hearing with respect to this and our other programs be rescinded.

EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison ' MEMORANDUM TO: Dan Sweat FROM: Clarence Greene SUBJECT: Model Cities, J. D. Newberry and Mrs. Annie B. Laird DATE: October 13, 1969 As instructed we met with J. D. Newberry concerning repairs to the residence of Mrs. Laird at 662 Mayland Avenue, S. W. Subsequently we met with Littlefield and Lynch from the Model Cities office, Lynch the inspector on this case. Allegations made by Newberry and Mrs. Laird in some instances were correct and some incorrect. The application signed by Mrs. Laird for a loan of $3100_,. 6,.bove the $3000 grant was at the rate of 3% - not 8 1/2%. Mrs. Laird's statement that only one contractor came to her house is probably true. Her statement is probably true she was told by the Housing Authority that three bids were received and this particular contractor offered the lowest bid. This will more or less being borne out from statements made by Littlefield. The followin g is procedure used by Model Cities' staff on the rehabilitation of a property : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Contact property owner Inspection - discussion with owner Prope rty owner invited t o office for financial discussion Application for grant and/ or loan made Contractor bids accepted and presented to owner Contract let - repairs under supervision of the rehabilitation staff . Under #5, Littlefield stated he could on his own initiative place a property for repair bids or he could as sign one contractor only to a particular property . We do not unders t and his powe r here howev e r , this i ,s what he states . �-2- Dan Sweat October 13, 1969 From what we can ascertain the only form which is given a property owner is a list of repairs necessary. A copy of this document is attached and marked II l 11. Property owners are asked to sign numerous papers a copy of which is apparently not offered to them. Most of negotiations are of an oral nature. Attached are forms marked 2, 3, 4, and 5 which, if were given to the property owners, would fully inform them as to the nature of the grants, etc. The following should not be publicizied because if generally known would work against the Model Cities Program. A property owner cannot be required, according to Littlefield to accept grants or loans nor to rehabilitate their property to Model Cities standards. If they did not conform to the standards they could only be required to have their property conform to the minimum City Housing Code requirements. In the case of Mrs. Laird, according to one of the supervisors in the Housing Code Division, her property could be brought into compliance for an estimated expenditure of $1200. It can readily be seen she would be in a fGl:r better financial situation , even conside ring the higher interest rate she might pay for a FHA home improvement loan, than she would b e unde r a 3% 20 year $3100 loan.

In order to assist these property owners, a special program of loans and grants was -authorized as a result of the housing and Urban Redevelopment Act of 1965. REHABILITATION GRANTS are direct grants to qualified. low.,.income owneroccupants located in an urban redevelopment aEea. These grants are for the cost to repair and improve the property so that it conforms to property standards in a Neighborhood Development Program. The maximum amount of the grant is $3000. These are outsight grants, and do not need to be repaid. No lien is placed on the property. Eligibility for these grants require that the family income in most cases must be under $3000. Any applicant whose income exceeds $3000 may be eligible for a partial grant if the total housing expense is over 25% of the applicant's monthly income. REHABILITATION LOANS are direct loans at 3% interest, whfuch can extend over a 20-year period made to qualified owners of property in a Neighborhood Development Program Area. The property owner is eligible if he is an acceptable risk, but unable to secure necessary funds from other sources upon companable terms and conditions. In the case of homeowners, it is possible to refinance loans presently on the property in addition using the loan to pay for the rehabilitation costs. The loan may not exceed the estimated cost of necessary repairs and improvements to bring the property up to the project standards. In the case of investor-owned property, no funds are available to pay off any present indebtedness on the property; the loan is limited to the actual cost of the repairs and improvements. THE PROCEDURE FOR SECURING A GRANT OR LOAN WOULD INCLUDE: (1) A survey of the property by the Rehabilitation Advisor who will prepare a written report on the work that needs to be accomplished. He will also develop a cost estimate. (2) Discussion of methods of financing improvements with the property owner and assist in making an application for a loan or a grant. (3) Assist property owners in obtaining bids from contractors to assure that work will be done at the lowest price . (4) Inspect the work as it is being accomplished. (5) Make certain that the contractor is paid only after all work has been completed to the satisfaction of the owner and the project's rehabilitation staff . Rehabilitation staff members will be available at all times to assist and counsel the property owner-- from the time of application through the closing out of the grant or loan . �TO THE HOMEOWNERS IN THE MODEL CITIES AREA: In order to determine your eligability for a Grant of money to be used to repair cll1d improve your home in an amount not exceeding $3000..00 or a Loan at a low interest rate of 3% it is necessary for our finance department to have the fol.lowing information: 1. Proof of ownership of the property which is usually a copy of the warranty deed. 2. Verification of income to determine your maximum eligability for a Grant of Loan or a combination of both. This is usually in the form of: a. b. c. letter from employer written form indicating the amount of any income derived from social security, welfare, disability, pensions, verification of any rent .received and any other income received from any other source. The amount of any existing mortgage and the monthly payment on same and the name of the mortgage holder. 1\ A Your cooperation in providing this information as soon as possible will enable us to detemi ne what help we can render to you, add proceed to get work started on your home as soon as pos s ible.

Thus achieving : (1) clear authority and responsibility for each group of f unctions �2 (2) higher level of efficiency and ~utput within each group of functions (3) relative simplistic organizational structure which eliminates duplication and conflicts (4) proper balance among and between functional groups. 6. A practical organizational system requires a natural division of responsibility and then demands that each function coordinate and cooperate with each other function in a team effort aimed at achieving the total program objectives and concepts. 7. TQe Director , after having delegated effective control over each function, is freed from piddling day to day responsibilitjes and is able to concentrate on assuring that team work between the functions takes place and to devote more time to other progr.am responsibilit;i:es .

(3) Each functional Directo r is responsible f o r making program and poltcy:recommendations to the Executive Director. (4) Each component head is responsible for making recommendations within his own functional area.

DAVIS DIRECTOR OF FINANCE EDGAR A. VAUGHN, JR . DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FINANCE - - - - -- GEORGE J . s ·ERRY DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FINANCE January 13, 1969 Mr. Johnny Johnson Director Model Cities Program Atlanta, Georgia Dear Johnny: While I realize that we are both aware of the following facts, I feel that it is important that they be pointed out and emphasized at this time so that there will be no chance of a misunderstanding. The federally approved . budget under which the Model Cities Project is now operating is authorized only through January 31, 1969. While we have noted in the press that the Model Cities execution grant containing the 1969 administrative budget has been approved, there has been no indication that the City will receive a binding connnitment from the federal government in time for the Budget Connnission and Board of Aldermen to act on it at their next regular meeting on January 20, 1969. I am aware that your staff is now preparing a request for an extension of the present planning budget until such time · as a new administrative budget can receive· official federal and city action. Again, time is of the essence in receiving a federal connnitment for ---this extension. If it is not received in time for action on January 20, the nex t regular meeting of the Board is on February 3 which is · after your current budget e xpires. It is, therefore, ex tremely important that we receive some definite cormnibnent from the federal agency prior to January 20, 1969. Please call on me if there is anything that I can do to assist in obtaining federal agency approval. I would also like to advise that all of the staff positions that have been authorized by the new administrative budget were cre a ted �Model Cities Project Budget January 13, 1969 Page 2 by action of the Finance Corrnnittee on January 6, 1969. These positions, however, were contingent upon federal funds being available and therefore none of the positions can be filled until we receive a specific federal corrnnitment to funding these positions. Very truly yours, Charles L. Davis Director of Finance CLD:cs cc: Messrs. Earl Metzger Earl Landers Dan Sweat Milton G. Farris Everett Millican Gregory Griggs Carl Paul Tom Stephens �September 18, 1969 MEMORANDUM To: Mr , Johnny Johnson From: Dan E . Sweat, Jr .

Two- lane collectors, as referred to in th is analysis, are 60 foot right-of-way, with 40 foot pavement as set forth in the City of Atlanta Revised Street Cross Sections. (b) Berckele Street and Middle Street between McDaniel Street and Coleman Street were constructed in approximate I y 1968, to relieve a drainage problem. It is, therefore, desirable, if possible, to r:rointain th is street as part of the "redevelopment plan. 1969 Rehabilitation - Preliminary review shows no transportation problems. 1970 Clearance - Additional setback should be re9uired for the widening of Rockweli Street. 1970 Rehabilitation - Preliminary review shows no transportation problems. Long.,-Range Plans Adair Park I. Major Thoroughfares (a) The existing city strret classification does not recognize Allene-Lowndes Street as a collector. (b) Allene-Lowndes Street sho-1 Id not be classified as a collector, since it is one block east of Murphy Street, which is classified as a collector and prov ides access to the same land . (c) The relocation of the intersection of Allene Street and Lillian Avenue �is desirable and eliminates a dangerous interse ction. The extension of All e ne Street nortb of Lillia n Avenue provides only a slight increase in access to the area and would mainly serve the park, which has adequa te access without the extension, i.e., we recommehd relocation of Allene Street from Pearce Street to Lillian Avenue, as shown but not from Lillian to Lowndes. 2. Minor Streets - Preliminary review indicates all changes desirable. Pittsburgh I. Major Thoroughfares (a) If Rockwell and Fletcher Streets are improved to collector standards, it will not be necessary for Mary or Arthur to be improved to these standards. (b) A grade-separation at McDaniel Street, and the railroad , is desirabl ~ and feasible as an underpass . This will affect adjacent land use and needs additional study. (c) Consideration shou Id be given to the widening of University on the north if additional right of way is not availab le from post offi ce site on south si_d e to provide for four lane arterial. (d) Developing McDanie I Street and Hubbard Street into one-way pairs between Gardner Street and Fletcher Street was mentioned by the consultant and has some merit, particularly since it would allow the two stree ts to take on collector status without cl e aring existing comme rcial on McDanie l. 2 . Minor Streets (a) Bender and We lch Stree t a c cess to Shelton- Ste phens Stre e t sh ould not be a !lowe d . The se stree ts should conne ct into Humphries Stree t , whic h prov ides access to She lton- Ste phe ns Street, or some o ther solu tion . (b) The stree ts east of McDan ie l Stree t and north of G a rdner Stree t should be a ba ndone d , a nd pri va te access shou Id be prc·1ided to the a d jacent high densi ty reside ntia l . (c) If condition of struc tu re s warrant c le arance, Cohe n Street be twe en We lch Street and Col eman Stree t , Middle Street between Beryl Street and Humphries Street, and Hubbard Street between Roc kwe 11 �Street and Gardner Street should be abandoned. If these streets are abandoned, it will allow for the accumulation of larger parcels for proposed land use while adequate access is maintained. (d} Access into University Avenue from the north should be limited (close Welch, Sims, Ira , etc. ) and remaining access should align with exits and entrances to the post office. (e) West Avenue should not intersect with University Avenue due to its position relative to the freeway ramps. Problem of industry would need study. (f} The Fortress Avenue railroad crossing should be maintained and signals shou Id be considered. (g) Traffic Engineering wou Id Iike the intersection of University Avenue and Pryor Street improved on the northeast corner. We are in agreement with the classification and treatment of streets in the above areas unless commented upon. The improvement of streets to the city street classification standards needs additional study in relationship to the clearance or non-clearance of adjacent land. �. ·---- ,- LAND USE ADAIR PARK -- PITTSBURGH 1969 Clearance Area - The 50-foot buffer along Stephens Street is theoretically desirable. However, this buffer will have to .be maintained (cleared of paper, grass cut, leaves picked up, etc.) by the city, which is undesirable. When the land is cleared and sold, controls shou Id be attached to the land to require buffers to be provided by the developer. In developing this land, it must be remembered that there is a serious flooding problem in the area which will have to be solved. 1969 Rehabilitation Area (a) Preliminary plan indicates homes of Salvation Army block for rehabilitation; land use is incorrect and shou Id be changed. (b) The land adjacent to University Avenue between Welch Street and Stewart Avenue is in a 1969 rehabilitation area. If 20 feet of right-of-way cannot be obtained from the post office site on the south side additional land wili be needed on the north. This decision on right-of-way should be made before rehabilitation is begun. 1970 Clearance Area The area southeGtst of University Avenue and Stewart Avenue is shown as commercial. This area should be examined to determine whether it can be cleared in 1970 and be redeveloped with prefabricated housing industry to provide employment and housing for the residents of Model Cities. 1970 Rehab ii itation Areas - (a) Adair Park Rehabi Iitation - There appears to be no major problems. (b) kea south of Arthur Street and east of Welch Street - The only problem appears to be the proposed block park, as shown in the southern part of the plan (between Coleman and Sims Streets). Because of the steep terrain on this site, it will be very difficult to build a park here . The hill is too steep for a multi - use court . It is unreasonable for the Parks Department to assume maintenance. �.. ' ~ .. . _.. (c} Area south of Gardner Street and west of Windsor Street - There appear to be no major problems. Future Uses I. Adair Park Neighborhood (a) Adair Park is now too smal I to meet the needs of the citizens of th is neighborhood, or come up to neighborhood park standards. If land is acquired near Adair Park, the park can be expanded and used by Adair Park School. It has been stated that the residents are against acquiring the homes on Catherine Street north of the park. However, recreation facilities can best be provided at one large park of 12-acre standard instead of two small parks, as proposed. It would be more beneficial to the entire neighborhood if Adair Park could be expanded instead of acquiring land north of Li 11 ian Avenue for another park. In one 12-acre neighborhood park, a recreation building, athletic field, and other facilities can be provided clnd maintained. Two smaller parks cannot effectively provide these facilities nor a well-organized recreation program. It is proposed that the cost of acquiring the necessary homes north of Catherine Street for the expansion of Adair Park be determined. Also, the Recreation Department shou Id be contacted to see if they can provide a recreation program at two smaller parks. The auto wrecking yard should be cleared in either case. (b) · Proposed park north of Lillian Avenue and south of Gilette Street - (See comment la). If Adair Park cannot be expanded, this proposed park should be acquired. It should be 12 acres to meet neighborhood park standards. This will mean expanding the park to Murphy Street. The boundaries of this park would then be Murphy Street, Lillian Avenue, Tift Avenue, and Gi lette Street. Th is park wou Id then be for active recreation programs while Adair Park wou Id be used for more passive types of activities and school sports. If the park is built, Allere Avenue should not extend through the park. (c) Fifty-foot buffer along various streets both in Adair Park and Pittsburgh will be difficult to maintain . Such buffers, if determined to be desirable, shoo Id be incorporated as covenants on the land and shou Id not be shown in pub Iic use . If shown on plan describe as private open space. 2. PITTSBURGH NEIGHBORHOOD (a) The block east of Sims Street and west of Hubba rd Street shou Id be high �density instead of medium density. This would permit the block Rockwell Street, McDaniel Street, Gardner Street, and Sims Street - to be redeveloped as one unit and Hubbard Street cou Id be abandoned. (b) Somewhere between Welch Street and Sims Street it may be desirable to build a pedestrian walkway linking Gideons School with the high density area. (c) The brickyard southeast of Pittman Park should be abandoned but should not be used for high density residential. This site should be expanded for park use, as proposed in the 1983 Parks and Recreation Plan. The land here is higher than the rest of the park, but it could be effectively developed. The block west of Windsor Street between Arthur Street and Delevan Street has been discussed for park expansion. However, the homes on this site may be improved to meet the Housing Code requirements. Also, this site is lower than Pittman Park, and Windsor Street shou Id not be closed. (d) The block south of the brick yard should be retained as medium den~ity residential since the area surrounding this block is medium density. Access to the site is too poor to consider high density residential. (e) The park proposed east of Smith Street and north of Roy Street is impossible to develop because of the topography.· (f) The play lot on Welch Street should, if possible, be expanded to a block park. (g) Before block parks are proposed throughout the neighborhood, sites should be examined to see if the topography is flat enough for a park. The Parks Department must have developable land and however desirable cannot afford to maintain a lot of passive open space. (h) If West Avenue is closed the industrial uses along this street should be purchased and the area redeveloped for medium density residential. If these industrial uses continued their only access would be through the surrounding res ida, t ia I areas. �TRANSPORTATION ND P Action Areas MECHANICSVILLE 1969 Clearo.nee - Cooper Street between Richardson Street and Fulton Street should be deleted. Formwalt Street and Windsor Street should be retained between Richardson Street and Fulton Street. In future years, Formwalt Street and Windsor Street should be deleted between Glenn Street and Georgia Avenue. Cooper Street should be retained between Glenn Street and Georgia Avenue. 1970 Clearance and Street Improvements - (a) Discussion with the Atlanta Transit indicates that their property cannot be included in 1970 Clearance. A relocation/marketability study of the transit facility will have to be made first. (b) That portion of the Pryor-Central two-way street under consideration for 1970 Action should be deleted pending a thorough study of the PryorCentral corridor. Long-Range Plans 1. Major Thoroughfares (a) McDan.ie I Street shou Id be continued into the Pittsburgh Area with a grade separation at the rai Iroad. (b) The combination of Pryor-Central into a two-way .street south of Fulton Street best serves the neighborhood. The Traffic Engineering Department believes the one-way pair should remain, as it serves stadium traffic. We believe the problem needs additional study. The action should take place only after the study is completed. · (c) The relocation of the 1-75-85 ramps will have to be discussed with the Highway Department. (d) Windsor Street- Ormond Street south of Georgia Avenue and connecting to Centra l Avenue shou Id be classified as a two-la ne collector. �(e) 2. Glenn Street between McDaniel Street and Ira Street will have to be maintained to provide access to adjacent land. Minor Streets (a) Since McDaniel Street is continued into the Pittsburgh Area, Stephens Street should end with its connection to Smith Street. (b) The relocation of Rawson Street, Eugenia Street, and Formwalt Street north of Fulton Street is questionable on a cost-benefit basis. (c) Some local access streets should be maintained or built bet;...,een Central Avenue and Pu 11 iam Street to maintain access to the adjacent land use. (d) Existing Adamson Street should be maintained but relocated between Buena Vista Avenue and Ormond Street to align with existing Formwalt Street. Th is street wou Id replace the proposed streets west of Adamson and south of Ormond. (e) Access to Georgia Avenue between McDaniel and Windsor should be limited. (f) Whitehall Terrace should remain open between Glenn Street and Crumley Street to provide access to pub Iic housing. The improvement of streets to the city street classification standards needs additional study in relationship to the clearance or non-clearance of adjacent land. �. LAND USE MECHANICSVILLE 1969 Activity Areas - The .area south of Fulton Street and east of Windsor Street, which is shown as neighborhood commercial, will be difficult to develop since it is only 200 feet wide. Since the need for housing is so great, commercial es tab I ishments could be located on the first floor of the apartment bui ldings with residential units on the other floors, thus eliminating the small commercial area. 1970 Activity Areas - ... (a) The relocation of the Atlanta transit garage (Brisbane Park) during 1970 wil I be impossible to achieve. A study wil I have to be ma~e to locate a suitable site for the Transit Company and adequate time must be provided for a new facility to be built. When this is done, the site should be acquired for park purposes. (b) The block park east of Windsor Street and north of Bass Street is needed at this time. However, after the park south of Bass Street is bui It, th is block park will not be needed and should be phased out. �.... . .. .....

TRANSPORTATION NDP Action Areas SUMMERHI LL--PEOPLESTOWN 1970 Clearance - Al I clearance areas adjacent to major arterials and collectors should provide sufficient setback for the improvement of these streets to city standards. 1970 Rehabilitation - Review shows no problems. It is not indicated if the streets on the Major Thoroughfare Plan without a zip pattern are to be maintained or abandoned. Long-Range · Plans Maj or Thoroughfares 1. Traffic Engineering prefers that Fraser Street be maintained between Georgia Avenue and Bass Street. It is felt that this is necessary to the movement of stadium traffic. If Fraser Street is maintained, Bass Street should be improved in its present location instead of being relocated in a northeasterly direction. 2. Why is Ormond Street east of Capitol Avenue terminated? 3. Additional study is needed to determine the exact alignment of the relocation of Martin Street at Little Street. 4. The city street classification does not classify: (a) Martin Street as a collector. (b) Fraser Street from Fulton to Georgia as a collector. (c) Bass Street from Capitol to Fraser as a collector. (d) Haygood as a collector. (e) Little Street as a collector. We concur in classifications proposed by consultants. �r I Minor Streets l. Kenneth Street is scheduled for curbing this year. The consultant does not classify this street, implying it may be abandoned. 2. Ridge Avenue, between Weyman and Capitol should be terminated at Capitol Avenue. The extension of Crew Street between Weyman and Capitol should not be constructed. 3. The realignment of Pulliam Street, Pope Street, and Washington Street north of Weyman Avenue is not desirable. 4. The Ridge Avenue intersection with Pryor Street realignment may not be feasible due to the topography. 5. Traffic Engineering would like Crew Street maintained between Georgia Avenue and Bass Street (helps move stadium traffic??), but I question the desi rabi Iity of the connection. 6. The extension of Fraser Street south of Varina Street connecting to Dunning Street is not desirable. The improvement of streets to the city street classification standards needs additional study in relationship to the clearance or non-clearance of adjacent land. �. -- .:.'" ._ LAND USE SUMMER HI LL-PEOPLESTOWN 1970 Activity Areas (a) Activity areas appear acceptable except for the following item: It has not been firmly resolved that the area slated for clearance west of Martin Street shou Id be the site for the primary school. A decision on this school site and on the location of the adjacent park will be forthcoming shortly. (b) 1970 clearance for school west of Martin Street sti II not firmly decided. Future Uses l. Boyton Street in Peoplestown is currently an unimproved, very narrow street. If th is street is paved and widened to two lanes, it wi II be impossible to obtain a buffer south of Boyton Street as shown on the map. Such a buffer could only be obtained if the city condemned part of the land south of Boyton Street, which is now used as a lumber yard. 2. West of Capitol Avenue and south of Haygood Avenue are several commercial establishments. This area is shown as high density residential. a more appropriate use wou Id be neighborhood commercial. j l It appears that 3. The buffer north of Pope Street and south of the proposed road between Pope Street and Pulliam Street will be difficult to maintain and is too small to provide recreation facilities. Controls may be imposed when the land is redeveloped to require proper shielding from t~e industrial areas. Other proposed buffers and scenic malls or corridors are shown on the plan. 4 . Park adjacent to E. P. Johnson Elementary School does not meet neighborhood standards. l 5 . There is a large amount of neighborhood commercial shown just north and south of Georgia Avenue . This shou Id be changed to general commercial. 6. If Ormond Street is continued east and west , the pa rk shown west of Fraser Street wi ll be elim inated . Deletion of the park does not a ppear to be se ri ous be cause it is so c lose to the park on Crew Street and the proposed pa rk a t Li ttle a nd Marti n Stree ts . �. ---~-- ·-~ -"' ' ' ... 7. The proposed scenic corridor to the stadium and downtown starting at Love and Crew Streets and extending along the right-of-way of Crew Street to Georgia Avenue would eliminate all the trees along the street if a view of the stadium and sky Iine is the desired effect. • 8. The recently constructed Southside Comprehensive Health Center is located at 1039 Ridge Avenue. The center offers preventive health services to all age groups. This site is now shown on the map as industrial and should be public. Carefu I consideration shou Id be made as to the type of uses to be located near the center. It may be necessary to impose a buffer between the center and other uses to insure the proper climate for the health center. 9. Land use immediately east and south of the stadium needs further study. It is recommended that no plan changes be made in this area until a detailed study can be accomplished and approved. �:..-· - ·~•.

Long-Range Plans Major Thoroughfares l. The separation of Sidney Street into one-way poi rs east of Cherokee Avenue needs further study as to the exact location of the separation. This arrangement might operate better if the separation was between Cherokee and Oakland Avenue. Minor Streets l. The extension of Kellman Street east of Eloise Street is not feasible because of the topography. Eliminate so existing and proposed park can be joined. . The improvement of streets to the city street classification standards needs additional study in relationship to the clearance or non- clearance of adjacent land. �..

·· - :... LAND USE GRANT PARK The Sydney-Glenwood one-way pair poses land use problems for the north end of Grant Park. It will be difficult to maintain the area between the one-way pairs as desirable residential and pressure will be strong to turn the narrow strip between Glenwood and the Freeway into commercial. All these factors will be detrimental to the neighborhood. Careful study should be given to extending Fulton Street from Connally as a four-lane twoway collector immediately adiacent to the Freeway and connecting to Glenwood with a grade separation at Boulevard. �r C August 18, 1969 OFFICE OF MODEL CITIES PROGRAM 673 Capitol Avenue, S.W. Atlanta, Ga. 30315 404-524-8876 Ivan Allen Jr., Mayor J. C. John"""· Director Mr. Lester Persells Executive Director Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Les: After reviewing your memorandum by Tom Eskew on the status of NDP activities, I am concerned about the total number of properties acquired under option and purchase. The report indicates that 47 parcels are under option and 60 parcels have been purchased for a total of 107 parcels. The Model Cities Program assur e s a family that it will be provided with temporary or permanent relocatable housing before they are required to sell their home. Past experience has shown us that when a family is contacted about the sale of their prop e rty they immediately b e gin to think of moving and often move without r e c e iving the a s si s t a nc e t h e y are entitled to receive. To this date, I have seen no visible evidence that adequate provisions are being made to provide the temporary housing assistance promised the families in the Model Cities Area. Therefore we must hereby r e que s t that all action to acquire prop e rt ie s c e ase until such time as a d equate provisions are made to provide t e mporary or p e rma n e nt housing f or the families displaced . We a lso request that a meeting be h e ld a t y our earliest convenience to discuss procedures that will allow us to meet the statutory requir e ments for relocation in the Model Cities Area. Sincerely, Johnny c. Johnson Direc t o r JCJ:vl c cc: Mayor I v an Allen, Jr. ~ Alderma n Ev erett Mi ll ican Alderman Gregory Gr i ggs �r I
