Memorandum To: Mr. Howard Openshaw, Atlanta Housing Authority
Mr. William Wofford, City of Atlanta
Mr. Collier Gladin, City of Atlanta

Mr. James Smith, City of Atlanta AG kn
Mr. Wallace Screws, Atlanta Housing /Authority

Mayor Allen recently requested that the City further define
and/or revise it's policies for Housing Code enforcement in Urban
Renewal and N.D.P. program areas, including Vine City and East
Atlanta Planning areas,

Following this request, Mr. W. A. Screws, Chief, Rehabilitation
Section, and myself have had several discussions regarding this sub-
ject. It is our opinion that the enclosed policy, dated March, 1969,
would be instrumental in providing better coordination and understand-
ing between property owners, tenants, the Atlanta Housing Authority,
all City Departments and the public in general. At the same time this
policy should reduce the number of structures becoming deteriorated
and hazardous as N.D.P. plans are being formalized and activated.

This draft is submitted for any changes you may feel are neces-~
sary, and subsequent action needed for formal adoption so that the
City's policy will be clear to everyone, both from a Public Relations'
standpoint and for assistance in preparing cases for legal action,
should this become necessary.
