R. EARL LANDERS, Administrative Assistant
MRS, ANN M, MOSES, Executive Secretary
MEMORANDUM DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison
To: Dan Sweat
From; George Berry We
Subject: Central Relocation Service
What Col. Jones is saying is that CRC doesn't doa very good job. From what I
know about it, I would agree with him. This responsibility used to be in the
Planning Department and as a result of somebody's efficiency study, it was
determined that this was a function that could best be provided by the Housing
Authority, The result has been that costs have sky-rocketed and their effectiveness
is questioned by about everybody. (They are asking $40, 000 from the City for
Fiscal 1970).
They did do the relocation assistance work for persons displaced as a result
of Highway Department acquisition in the city, but the Highway Department got
so disenchanted that they went back to providing relocation assistance with their
own people.
We could call Les Persells and Howard Grigsby over for a pep talk, but I
honestly don't know what it would accomplish. Ihave never heard them admit
that any improvement was needed. They are usually pretty defensive about any
hint that it is not a perfect operation. While trying to work out budget problems
once in Finance, I made the suggestion that the City reassume this function.
I have drafted the attached for your signature.
