ASST. INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS
MEMORANDUM TO Dan E. Sweat, Jr.
FROM W. R. Wofford | eee)
RE Atlanta's 1968 Services Program.
Several specific questions were posed in the Mayor's letter of March 19, 1968
on suggested action for the City's 1968 services program. These refer specifically
to immediate City-wide action with regard to implementing proposals suggested in
Chapter 10 of the National Advisory Commission Report.
The two Coordinators requested by the Mayor's office will be furnished and
the end result, of course, will be a loss of two Inspectors I from the Housing
Division Staff.
Specific questions and answers follow:
1. In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each
recommendation?
The major items mentioned in Chapter 10 are already in effect. By using
an experienced Housing Code enforcement officer in each half of the City
as coordinator, many questions or grievances could be answered and
channeled to the proper operating departments without delay. These
coordinators could be strategically placed in the Sum-Mec and Nash-Bans
Areas (#1 and #4 centers on map furnished). They could attend citizens'
meetings to describe what municipal actions are authorized, and could
make referrals to the proper departments. For instance, these men
would be extremely helpful in describing Housing enforcement policy in
areas delineated for future governmental action as described in our
workable program.
In your judgement, how would it affect your department?
The Housing Division will sustain-.a loss in anticipated housing unit
compliance, since it will reduce the number of field inspectors currently
assigned to housing inspection.
Outline the steps involved in implementing each recommendation as it
would affect your department or agency.

Steps have been taken already to assign 2 inspectors to Mr. Sweat's
office.
4. Estimate the probable costs involved in No. 3.
No cost involved.
I am enclosing materials you gave me regarding the Mayor's Program. I would
like} to have one of these "kits" for our reference if you can arrange it.
