DEPUTY COMPTROLLER
Mr. Dan Sweat
Mayor's Office
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Dan:
The following should be helpful in answering this inquiry:
(1) We have made the following expenditures to E, O, A., Inc. for its annual
support in the Community Action Programs:
1966 $ 60,000
1967 75,000
1968 100,000
The others for whom E, 0, A. is their designated agency for the admini-
stration of OEO funds have made similar appropriations.
We participate in a Neighborhood Youth Corps program as a delegate or
sub-agency of E, O. A. who administers the overall program. No cash
appropriation is made for this purpose. The city's total contribution
is made up of supervisory time.
We participate in the Atlanta Concentrated Employment Program (ACEP)
also as a Sub-agency to E, O. A. The city's contribution to this pro-
gram is also supervisory time, not cash.
I am enclosing a copy of the estimated cost of the total summer program
with the source of funds indicated. As noted, the E, O. A. grant is
$325,000 out of a total cost of $1,826,469. This should be checked to
see if the School Boards $511,000 has come through as planned. I under-
stand that it has not. Even so, the City has appropriated funds more than
equal to what was granted by E, O. A. for this purpose.
You might emphasize that the city general government is only one of many agencies
receiving E, 0, A. assistance in the metropolitan area. It might be that E. O. A.
itself, as the designated agency, should properly answer this.
Very truly yours,
George J. Berry
