Mr. Charles L. Davis
Director of Finance
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Charles:
Prior to the time that the City took over sponsorship of the Urban Corps
Project, the Urban Corps Project Director reached a verbal agreement
with four students to pay them each $250.00 for their services in setting
up the Urban Corps Project. They wee not to receive any other compen-
sation for their work such as the other enrollees are. These four students
were:
Mr. Bill Adams
Mr, Dave Whelan
Mr. Marcus Dash
Mr. Rich Speer
Because of this special circumstance regarding the compensation of these
four individuals, I advised Mr. Sam Williams to have them execute some
written memoranda certifying that they did work during this period and for
Mr. Williams to complete a miscellaneous requisition for the four checks.
These documents relating to Mr. Adams and Mr. Whelan have been forwarded
to your office. Those for Mr. Dash and Mr. Speer will follow shortly.
I am completely aware that this agrangement does not conform to generally
accepted ways of doing things for the City. We came upon the scene after
the fact, however, and these agreements were already made and thése
individuals have already provided their services on the basis of the agreement
that was reached, For whatever it is worth, it is my feeling that we can
properly consider these payments as coming from the proceeds of the private
contributions that have been made to the Urban Corps.
It is our feeling that, under the circumstances, these invoices should be
honored and paid and you are requested to do so, We have advised the
Mr. Davis
