DEPUTY COMPTROLLER Mr. Les Persellis Atlanta Housing Authority 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Les: I appreciate very much you and Mr. Openshaw taking time from your busy schedule and meeting with Mr. Elrod, Mr. Nixon, and I regarding the expan- sion and improvements to Bedford Place which is part of the Buttermilk - Bottoms-Bedford Pine Urban Renewal Projects. Our conference pointed out the fact that it would be best for the City to proceed on the original basis of improving Bedford Place by first undere taking the improvements to the southbound lanes which will require right- of-way from the Buttermilk Bottoms Project. Our Gonference also pointed out that a further widening of the project would be made at the right-of-way for the Bedford Pine Project was acquired and cleared. The City is undertaking this improvement under the basis that the City will receive maximum credit under either the Buttermilk Bottoms Project Bedford Pine Projector a combination of the two projects. We are also contemplating receiving full credit for underground utilities which will be placed in Bedford Place by the Georgia Power Company or Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. We recognise that there will be a time delay in approving the Bedford Pine Project, but we are of the opinion that we should receive fifty percent eredit in the Buttermilk Bottoms Project and the remaining fifty percent in the Bedford Pine Project .when the project is placed into execution. In our meeting on Thursday, March 2, Mr. Nixon volunteered to coordinate the street improvements in Bedford Place as well as other streets in the Buttermilk Bottoms area with Georgia Power Company, Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, City Traffic Engineer, and other interested parties. I believe that this will be a very beneficial undertaking inasmuch as Mr. Nixon controls the installation of sidewalks, curbings, and street pav- ings. Recently we had the opportunity of visiting with and members of the Housing and Urban Development Agency to discuss particulars of the ee en eT ae er eee eee Georgia Power Company and Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. Mr. Les Perselis Page 2 March 7, 1967 In our conference it was pointed out by officials of HUD that further legal study should be given to the agreements, and they would advise us at a later date as to their findings. I believe that it would be very desirable to have these contracts executed prior to any work being undertaken by either Georgia Power Company or Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. I would appreciate your advising as soon as possible of anything that we might do in order to hasten the execution of these agreements. Yours very truly, AT Ze fa ' Charles L.

March 22, 1967 The urban r enewal program, in recognition of the fact that families had moved out prematurely in the past , now permits staff activities to inform families and to work with famil ies prior to the time they become eligible for relocation assistance . These efforts are apparently being successful in the nm er urban renewal projects such as West End and Bedford- Pine . We hope to become increasingly successful in this respect in the future . Partially due to the efforts of the Atlanta Housing Author ity, but primarily through the studies made under the federall y.assisted Community Improvement Program study., the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta became aware· of the fact that insufficient replacement housing for l ow and lowermoderat e income families had been buil t in contrast to that which had been demol ished through various pr ogr ams . As a r esult of this, the Mayor held Housing Conference on November 15., 1966, and announced a crash program to produce 16.,800 such dwelling accommodations within a five year period. This program has been implemented and appears to be moving forward at a rapid pace. At this point , it seems apparent that the f'irst two year goal of 9., 800 dwelling units will be substantially achieved. Please widerstand that relocation assistance afforded displaced families to help them find suitable living accommodations and pay relocation costs iae available only to families displaced from urban renewal projects until recently. Few cities in the United states made any real attempt to furnish relocation assist nee to families displ ced by governmental action other than urb n renewal. At the present time, and for the past two years, the City of Atlanta has a contract with the Housing Authority to operate a Central Relocation Service under which the City pays for staff and incidental costs. The displacement of families due to governmental ct.ion such as rights-of-way and housing code condemnations is made known to the Central Relocation S rvice and the families involved a.re sisted in finding new accommod :tion • Ther are no funds available from hich to make relocation payments similar to those made for urban renewal project displa.cees axe pt limited funds for highway right-of-w y displace • Mor than 50% of famili s -displac d by thes actions have been satisfactorily r located.

Jackson Atlanta University School of Social Work 1660 Drew Drive, N. W. Atlanta, Georgia 3031) Dear Dean Jackson? Our Chairman, Mr. Edwin Sterne, has asked that we reply to your letter dated February 22 expressing your thoughts and those of your class on the subjects of public housing and urban renewal. We are glad to have the opinions ex- pressed in your letter and to have an opportunity to respond with additional information bearing upon these matters. Your letter states that the class developed an impression that urban renewal was “urban removal" for many Negro families. We have found that this impres- sion is widely held, not only in Atlanta, but throughout the nation. The displacement of families in Atlanta has taken place not only because of urban renewal but also because of clearance for expressway rights-of-way, other street rights-of-way, schools, parks, playgrounds, and private redevelopment. As among the foregoing, urban renewal has accounted for approximately 26.1% of family displacement during the last ten years and expressway clearance 3.6%. The re- maining is made up of Code Enforcement, over income in public housing and others. In 1957 when planning of the first urban renewal projects began, little experi- ence existed which would give guidance to planning for relocation of families from urban renewal areas. One of the major difficulties encountered in the early projects was that people became fearful when an urban renewal project was announced, and many families moved out of the designated area soon thereafter. The Atlanta Housing Authority had no plans, money or staff with which to cope with this movement. Legally, families become eligible for relocation assistance only after the properties in which they live are acquired by an urban renewal project. Of those families which resided in urban renewal projects at the time of land acquisition, more than 90% of these who can be traced were relocated in decent, safe and sanitary housing meeting the requirements of the City's housing code and the Federal government. Some families who wished to remain anonymous because of questionable activities in the communities simply disappeared and cannot be traced or helped. COPY Dean William S. Jackson -2- March 22, 1967 The urban renewal program, in recognition of the fact that families had moved out prematurely in the past, now permits staff activities to inform families and to work with families prior to the time they become eligible for relocation assistance. These efforts are apparently being successful in the newer urban renewal projects such as West Ind and Bedford+-Pine. We hope to become in- creasingly successful in this respect in the future. Partially due to the efforts of the Atlanta Housing Authority, but primarily through the studies made under the federally-assisted Community Improvement Program study, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta became aware of the fact that insufficient replacement housing for low and lower- moderate income families had been built in contrast to that which had been demolished through various programs. As a result of this, the Mayor held a Housing Conference on November 15, 1966, and announced a crash program to pro- duce 16,600 such dwelling accommodations within a five year period. This program has been implemented and appears to be moving forward at a rapid pace. At this point, it seems apparent that the first two year goal of 9,800 dwelling units will be substantially achieved. Please understand that relocation assistance afforded displaced families to help them find suitable living accommodations and pay relocation costs was available only to families displaced from urban renewal projects until recently. Few cities in the United States made any real attempt to furnish relocation assistance to families displaced by governmental action other than urban renewal. At the present time, and for the past two years, the City of Atlanta has a con- tract with the Housing Authority to operate a Central Relocation Service under which the City pays for staff and incidental costs. The displacement of families due to governmental action such as rights-of-way and housing code condemnations is made known to the Central Relocation Service and the families involved are assisted in finding new accommodations. There are no funds available from which to make relocation payments similar to those made for urban renewal project displacees except limited funds for highway right-of-way displacees. More than 50% of families displaced by these actions have been satisfactorily relocated. While this is not an excellent record, it is certainly much better than pre- viously. It is our hope that as time goes on, funds will become available either from local or Federal sources with which to operate a more successful program. We believe that the construction of the above mentioned 16,800 dwelling units will be of great assistance in meeting the needs of displaced families. One of the services needed in the City of Atlanta is some type of central listing service where families could obtain information and assistance in obtaining better dwelling accommodations even though they are not being displaced by governmental activities. The Housing Authority is without either funds or authorization to perform such a service and probably should not administer it. Hopefully this need will be recognized and fulfilled at some early date, and we pledge the cooperation of the Housing Authority in any such endeavor. Dean William S. Jackson -3- March 22, 1967 From the references made to the Antoine Graves Homes and to the John 0. Chiles Homes, both projects of this Authority, I believe that your visit must have been made some time ago since the situation at Graves has changed considerably from the description given in your letter. The former project now has a very bright and lively appearance with an attractive color scheme ranging from chartreuse to orange in the courts by reason of the fact that the panels sur- rounding the balconies have been painted harmonizing colors. The interior court now has a tile floor as does the large balcony just above. An attractive plate glass enclosure has been installed in front of the building featuring heavy aluminum frames so that the entire front is quite attractive and practi- cal from the standpoint of controlling the influx of cold air in the winter time. The project has further been improved by the purchase of chairs, sofas and tables for the public spaces, all designed for use by elderly persons. Your letter makes no mention of the fact that the Antoine Graves Homes has by far the largest and most attractive open garden area in our projects of this type. It is attractively landscaped and equipped with benches for the use of tenants who may wish to be outdoors in good weather. It is on this open area that the east side of the building faces, giving perhaps the most attractive view of any of these projects. I might mention that the unit costs of each of these two projects were almost identical. Bids on the two projects were taken less than two months apart and it happened that the same contractor was the successful bidder on both projects. Antoine Graves Homes was recently awarded an Award of Merit for Design Excel- lence by the American Institute of Architects, the only project of ours so honored. You were incorrectly informed that the Graves Homes project had all Negro tenants while the Chiles Homes project contained only white families. Negro families were admitted to Chiles Homes whenever they had requested this as their first choice and their applications had been filed early enough to be reached. In the initial process of filling this project, fourteen Negro fami-+ lies were admitted. A single elderly white person was admitted to Graves Homes since this project was her first choice, I can state categorically that there was no "old practice" of unequal housing in the City of Atlanta during the period that projects were segregated. All projects have been designed to the same criteria by outstanding architects of the city and have the same quality of construction and the same facilities throughout. In our many years in the field of housing we have, of course, observed that moving families from slums to public housing does not completely, nor auto- matically, change their living habits. Our management staffs are equipped by training and experience to deal with many tenant problems and this is done within the limits of staff that we are able to supply. We are not able to finance a Department of Social Service within our budget but we have consis- tently brought into our projects the services of other agencies to cope with Dean William S. Jackson ~h- March 22, 1967 the needs of the families. There is a wide range of city, county, public and private agencies, all of whom are concentrating efforts on our public housing projects in the fields of recreation, education, health, employment and social service. By way of example, both Antoine Graves and John 0. Chiles Homes have programs co-ordinated by Senior Citizens Services, Inc., which is funded by HOA and has been established to insure that public space is used effectively for recreation, other leisure time activities, as well as for clinics and other | public health programs. At this time, we are also working closely with the Fulton County Department of Family and Children Services to arrange office space in Perry Homes to house workers of that Department in the project. This should result in a saving of the time of the social workers and should increase their availability to those of our tenants needing their services. A similar arrangement may soon be tried in other locations. As you probably know, we include in the development of our projects community space for various social and recreational purposes. We provide these facili- ties with the maximum permitted by Federal design standards and, over the past few years, we have been successful in adding to some of our older projects facilities which were originally omitted or under+designed under earlier Federal economy drives or earlier inadequate standards. It is the provision of this space that enables us to work with the many local social and welfare agencies in providing a maximum of their programs to our tenant body. I am taking the liberty of enclosing a slightly worn copy of a Preliminary Report on Services and Needs Concerning Public Housing Residents. I believe that to some degree it reflects our concern for our tenants. The enclosed report reflects the reports made on one project only. We have continued our survey and now have a more substantial body of information. In the meanwhile, while we were surveying other projects, BOA came into the picture in Atlanta and their services cut across mich of the subject matter of our survey. It then seemed most appropriate, since they had the available manpower and financ- ing, that we offer our fullest cooperation to them, a move which we believe was of mutual benefit. If the time comes that the services we are now receiving are not available to us, we shall have to search elsewhere for resources. Of course, we currently receive services directly from many of the agencies who in the future may be able to expand their efforts. Sincerely, MBS: an M, B.

We make a particular and special effort at the time the required appraisals are made to reassure occupants of properties being appraised that there is no reason for them to be upset and that no immediate relocation will be necessary. As you probably know, it is to the advantage of tenants in a case such as this to remain on the premises until we can legally assist in their reloca- tion by paying their moving expenses and otherwise assist them. I am enclosing a copy of the notice to occupants of the area which is a Federal requirement, and we think a good and fair one. You will notice that it urges people not to move until they have consulted our representative about relocation. We have talked with our appraiser whom we employed to make this ap- praisal and he tells us that he did his best to reassure the tenants in your property that there would be no immediate change and no reason for them to contemplate moving. However, he did have to identify himself as an appraiser in order to carry out his work. With all the public hearings and public discussions which have been conducted con- cerning the use of this area as a school-park complex for the City, as well as the notice referred to above, we expect that there is general knowledge in the neighborhood that eventually some of this property will be acquired. We presume and hope that the improvements which you made on your property three years ago enhanced its value in an amount which can be’ recognized in the appraisals so that you will recover the addi- tional investment which you made.

Please tell me to whom I can appeal in an attempt to arrive at some act of justice involving this piece of property. y experience with the Atlanta Housing Authority, through the years, has been most gratifying and fair; and I am sure that somewhere in the inte mental structure of the city some mistake has been made. roximately three years ago I = hone casas ie the city, through its many tors, to to staedard” citing specific improvements to . anée. ty seat of which was between three and five thousand dollars.

At the time of our discussion, I was of the opinion that the physical facilities needed would be of a permanent nature.

With this in mind I have contacted Mr. Les Perseils, Director of Redevelopment, of the Atlanta Housing Authority and he assures me that the Housing Authority probably would have such facilities, and that they would be most happy to cooperate with you in any way. it is, therefore, suggested that you contact Mr, Perselis directly and see if the Housing Authority has facilities that might fit your needs, Sincerely yours, R.

Satterfield Executive Director Atlanta Housing Authority 324 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia Re: University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area, Parcel 733 Project Ga. R-ll, Bid Proposal Dear Mr. Satterfield: I represent Mr. R. C. Cunningham II of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma who submitted a bid to the Atlanta Housing Authority in conform- ity with the invitation for bid provided in connection with Parcel 73, Project Georgia R-ll, styled University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area. The bids were opened on April 12, 1967, at which time Mr. Cunningham was present, together with a number of his associates, and at that time no comment was made with respect to the propriety of the bid insofar as it conformed, or did not confirm, technically, to the invitation. In this connection may I respectfully point out that paragraph 1 of the attachment to the letter dated March 31, 1967 from Mr. John T. Hopkins, Real Estate Officer, the attachment being a memo from Mr. Lester H. Persells, Director of Redevelopment, providing in part that "... proposals will be inspected for conformance with the terms of the ‘Invitation for Proposals.’'“ May I further call to your at- tention the provisions of paragraph 10, on page 3, of the invi- tation for proposals which indicates, again in part, that "The Agency reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals and to waive any and all irregularities that appear in any Proposal." Mr. Persells' letter of April 21, 1967 indicated that Mr. Cunning- ham's proposal was rejected because of “non-conformance with the terms and conditions as set out in the ‘Invitation for Proposals', Paragraph 1 which states, ‘Three copies of each Proposal shall be Page Two Mr. M. B. Satterfield May 5, 1967 submitted on the form of ‘Redeveloper's Proposal’ prepared by the Agency and attached hereto.'" Upon receipt of this letter, we contacted your office and subse~ guently spoke to Mr. Persells, and I spoke to Mr. Byron Attridge. I was informed by Mr. Attridge. on May 4th that the Authority had considered our request for reconsideration unfavorably. It would then appear necessary that we inspect the reason for the rejection as stated, and attempt to determine whether the indicated non- conformance is of such substantial nature as to preclude consid- eration of my clients proposal on its merits. The redevelopment proposal referred to is contained in the package of Disposition Documents which relates not only to the proposal stage, but ap- parently to the entire transaction. Certain ambiguities are ap- parent in the listing of requirements, starting on page 1, which resulted in the actual form of proposal not being submitted with the remaining documents. The documents actually submitted were: (1) a proposal bid in the amount of $3,700; (2) a site plan, to- gether with floor plans and elevations; (3) a narrative descrip- tion of the development; (4) a rendering of the project; (5) the redevelopers statement for public disclosure; and (6) the rede- velopers statement of qualifications and financial responsibility. The redevelopers proposal referred to in the first full paragraph thereof states that the redeveloper “offers to purchase all that tract or parcel of land lying and being in land lot 84 of the 14th District of Fulton County, Georgia, being a part of the University Center, Urban Redevelopment Area and being more particularly des~ LS MOG Al 2ADAL et! Ler OQ fie OF] YL AGLeenvelL ‘©, JL BDC = ion of Las bmitted herewith, and by reference made & part hereof..." Logic would seem to dictate that the wording contained in the redevelopers proposal could be interpreted to mean that such proposal is to be submitted only after the Authority had accepted a particular bid, at which time the proposal would be attached to the agreement for disposition of land and submitted as a package, together with the remaining formal documents to the parties. A Page Three Mr. M. B. Satterfield literal interpretation of the language in the redevelopers pro- posal would seemingly preclude its submission at the time the redeveloper transmitted his bid to the Authority. May we then examine the remainder of the proposal to ascertain whether, in fact, the redeveloper has complied with the substan- tive portions of that document; paragraph 1, for example, that a site plan and floor plans, together with type list, elevations, and a narrative description, are to be submitted. This was done. In the same paragraph 1, the redeveloper must set out the actual cost of the improvements. This item was covered under part B, on page 4, of the redevelopers statement for public disclosure. Paragraph 2 requires the deposit of a proposal bond in the amount ef $3,700. This was done. Paragraph 3 requires the submission of the redevelopers statement for public disclosure and the redevelopers statement of qualifi- eations and financial responsibility. These items were submitted with my client's bid. In conclusion, I submit that my client substantially conformed with all conditions precedent to the submission of his bid, and I further submit that, with respect to the reason for rejection set out in Mr. Persells' letter of April 21, 1967, that there was, ‘and is, a latent ambiguity in the bid documents which could reason- ably be interpreted to mean that the actual proposal was not to be submitted with the bid. I further submit for your consideration that all bidding was done on the basis of developing the entire txact of land, the purchase of which was established, not only in the formal bid documents, but also in the brochure involving bids, copy enclosed, and that no where in my client's submission is it noted that his offer related to either a lesser price for the land, or was to be deemed an offer to purchase anything but the full tract of land involved. Page Four Mr. M. B. Satterfield May 5, 1967 in general, may I say that my client is well known in the build- ing ef projects insured by the Federal Housing Administration, and has evidenced a desire and ability to provide the type of housing which, as indicated in your brochure, is one of the great needs of Atianta at this time.

The need for expansion o f hospital and health facilities also e.><;plains the need for expansion of the services offered by our organization, a voluntary Association now in its 38th year of existence. In January the Association submitted a bid of $42,000 for the land along with a redevelopment proposal providing £or a three-story building. We later, however, requested permission to reduce our immediate plan to a two-story building more in keeping with our needs and resources for the remainder of this decade. Our development plans are no less permanent. We simply desire, as does any voluntary as·s ociation, to develop a . headquarters facility in stages as the membership grows and increases its investment in association services. The headquarters building will be enlarged in future years to meet these needs. The Policy Committee 0£ the Hou s ing Autho r i ty , head ed by Mr . Rodney M.

The need for expansion of hospital and health facilities also explains the need for expansion of the services offered by our organization, a voluntary Associa- tion now in its 38th year of existence. In January the Association submitted a bid of $42,000 for the land along with a redevelopment proposal providing for a three-story building. We later, however, requested permission to reduce our immediate plan to a two-story building more in keeping with our needs and resources for the remainder of this decade. Our development plans are no less permanent. We simply desire, as does any voluntary association, to develop a headquarters facility in stages as the mem- bership grows and increases its investment in association services. The head- quarters building will be enlarged in future years to meet these needs. The Policy Committee of the Housing Authority, headed by Mr. Rodney M. Cook, meets this Friday, May 12, to reconsider our development proposal. Any recommendation in our behalf you might give to Mr. Cook's committee will be most appreciated.
