Several specific questions were posed in the Mayor's letter of March 19, 1968

In your opinion, what are the advantages and dis:dvantages of each
recommendation?
The major items mentioned in Chapter 10 are already.·in effect. By using
an experienced Housing Cod e enforcement officer in each ha lf of the City
as coordinator, many questions or grievances could b e answered and
channel ed to the prop er operating de partments without delay . These
coordinators could be stra t eg ica lly placed in the Sum-Mee and Nash-Bans
Areas (#1 and #4 c ent ers on map furnish ed ). They could attend citizens'
meetings to describ e what municipal actions are authorized, and could
make r eferral s to the proper d epartments . For instance , these men
would be extremely h e lpful in d es cribing Housing enforcement policy in
areas delineated for futur e governmental action as des crib ed in our

2.

RE E 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.

2. 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.

Survey of Water Tacilities in the Six Spacial City Services Areas

Dear fir. Millican:

It is a pleasure to advise you that the Water Department has carefully surveyed
the six sections designated as Special 1968 City Services Areas. We have
determined the adequacy or need for water service in these sections of town.

The water main installation programs contained in our 1968 Budget will mect the
fire protection and water service requirements. We are immediately instituting
steps to carry out our 1968 program which is detailed as follows:

AREA NO. 1 - SUMMEC

This area is bound on the north by Interstate I-20, on the east by
Grant Park, on the south by Lakewood Heights, and on the west by Adair
Park.

We found that domestic water service was available in this entire area,
Seven water main installation projects were approved for this area in

the 1968 budget. These projects will improve fire protection in the
Summec area. The description of these seven projects are:

              <text>The Commissionts coverage on police conduct has long
been implemented in the Atlanta Police Department, The rules
and regulations of this department cover every phase mentioned
in the report. From time to time, I am sure there are minor
violations of this rule. I have instructed the District Supers
visor to give cars in the slum areas of the City closer supervision
to see that tnese regulations are carried out,

Selecting the right officer for ghetto duty was put in
effect when our Crime Prevention Bureau and our Task Force was
implemented. It has been a practice of this department to re
assign and re=train officers when poor judgement has been used
and to credit officers doing a good job. We have not always put
our finest officers in slum areas, We have always tried to give
negro areas as good, if not better, police protection than white
areas since most of these areas are where our high crime rates are,

The Commission reported one city report showed it took
four times as long for police to respond to a negro area than a
white area. We have instructed all. of our officers to answer all
calls immediately,

The Commission recommended that grievances by citizens
should have some external review. We have an Internal Security
Squad that investigates all complaints against police and reports
directly to the Chief of Police and the Police Committee, A
city attorney also is assigned to make investigations within the

City government. The Grand Jury and Solicitor General has the
= 2 we

authority to look into any police misconduct. The FBI is also
charged with this responsibility. I believe that any citizen
can get justice from one or all of the above investigative bodies.
The Commission recommended written departmental policy
for discretion and judgement in ghetto areas, Every situation
that arises in these areas are different. A Lot of these matters
have to be left up to the judgement of the patrolman or his
superior officer. Each officer is instructed when he has a
situation that is in question to notify his superior officer
immediately. This practice has worked successfully in the past,
The Commission recommended that we increase negro officers
within our department and reeassign more negro officers in slum
areas, This has been done, This department has hired all =
qualified applicants for years without regard to race, creed or
color. They also recommended the creation of community service
officers from ghetto areas and that these officers be hired on a
ratio of one for every ten police officers, We are now covering
ten EOA Centers and we understand there will be 62 schools, 40
parks and 20 play lots made available this summer. To police
these _places, it would be necessary for us to have our allotted
85 community service officers by summer, Our Crime Prevention
Bureau and these community service officers could work hand in
hand and assist the neighborhoods in all City services, They are
now working with school gounselors on absenteeism and school. drop
outs, assisting youth and adults in employment, meeting with civic

neighborhood groups and hearing and eliminating complaints on
=n eo 3 os

police service and working with our youth in recreational
activities. We might go one step further and also explain

to the people the Police Department's enforcement program in

an effort to show them that we are trying to better their comnunityc

The Commission has stated that preserving civil peace
is the first responsibility of the government, This we plan to
do, They point out, however, we must not mistake a peaceful ox
lawful demonstration as a riot. Maintaining civil order is the
responsibility of the entire community.

The initial incident in most cases started from routine
arrest. How the police and community respond to and deal with
such, may well determine whetiier they remain a minor police problem
or escalate into a major disorder.

If a situation arises that has racial overtones, our
officers are instructed to notify their superior officer immediately.
They are also instructed to notify tne commanding officer of the
Crime Prevention Bureau to move his entire squad inte the area and
attempt to settle the disorder, We feel that these men have been
working in these areas day in and day out and tney know their
grievances and complaints. If this fails, we then plan to move
in our Task Force who have been giving these areas good, tough
police service. They too, have been in and out of these areas
each day and know the problems that exist theree

The Commission has recommended that the police, when

sent in the areas, should know the underlying tensions and
e he

grievances and we believe tnat these two squads do» Naturally,
1f these two prevention squads fail, the riot squad will follow,
The Commission speaks of basic factors and causes and
mentions crowded ghetto living, worsen by summer heat and a large
amount of young people on the street. They do not think tnese
two problems could be remedied by the police. They also mentioned
hostility to police which we feel tnat we are trying to remedy
with the Crime Prevention Squad. They also mentioned delay in
police response in negro areas and I believe that with the coverage
we /have in these areas now, this is not the problem here. Rumors
and inadequate information in areas of this type always hurts the
police, We plan to use Crime Prevention men, Loud speakers and
ask the news media ror their assistancee
The Committee asks, “What are your control capabilities?*
A survey by them showed tnat only 13% of the uniform patrol are on
duty from 4:00 P.M. to 12:00 P.M. This is when 86% of all tne
disorders occurred, Again, we have tried to look ahead. Plus
our Evening Watch Uniform and Evening Watch Traffic, we have our
Crime Prevention Bureau and our Task Force working these hours,
We place a high premium on prevention of disorders,
On training, the Commission survey shows that most
police departments only give riot training to their recruits,
The average hour training tor these departments were 18 hours per
man. The National Guard requires 32 hours per man and 16 hours
for their commanding level officers. We have covered riot training

in recruit scnool on a Limited basis and given our older officers

a)
wie

Training Keys on riot training. The FBI has published riot and
mob control in their bulletins. Our district supervisors have
discussed with their men what action should be taken in case of

a disorder. Discipline and command on the seas is one of our
most important factors. You Lose radio contact witn your officers
and they must be disciplined to stay within your command and
carry out your orders. Rocks and bottles being thrown can provoke
an officer into unilateral action. Of the disturbances that we
have had in Atlanta, the same tactics were not used at each
disorder. Depending on tactics used decisions must be determined
by the commanding officer on the scene.

The Commission asked when should and how much force
should be used? Should a looter be shot? This is something that
is already covered by State Law. The commanding officer and
sometimes the patrolman would have to determine thise The
Commission does recommend however, that the use of gas should
be used first in an effort to stop disturbance, looting, etce
Most departments have used what is regularly called "CN", The
Commission highly recommended "CS" gas as do other riot manuals.

What assistance can we expect from the community? We
believe that good law abiding citizens do not want riots and
disorders. They usually pass information that they hear along
to the police department. We have trained intelligence officers
that keep us informed on tensed situations. Our Crime Prevention
Bureau and our Task Force are in these areas daily and nightly

DEPARTMENT of POLICE

Ailanta 3, Georgia

 

March 26, 1968

HERBERT T. JENKINS
Chief

Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., and

Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Sirs:

Below is an outline of those steps our department
plans to put in effect for the summer, 1968. Tney have been
approved py Chief H. T. Jenkins and we believe they will
reduce tension and possible civil disorders in Atlanta.

Tne report ox tne National Advisory Commission on
Civil Disorder has said, "Preserving civil peace is tne first
responsibility of the governme ut.'* This we plan to do. In
addition, we plan to use our Crime Prevention Bureau officers
in each ©.0.4. Center to assist these people with any city
problem. If an area need tne services or the Sanitary Depart-
ment, Housing enforcement or any other, our men are being
instructed to assist in every way. They also work with scunool
counselors on absent students and drop-outs, assist adults and
youths with employment, hardsiiip céeses, sickness, Stas
complaints on police services, missing persons, community
civic and recreational activities, and investigate rumors,
Crime Prevention officers are assigned to walking beats in
slum areas to keep in touch with residents.

We understand tiere will be 62 schools, 40 parks
and 20 pley lots available this summer. To police all of
these projects, tne 6&amp;5 connunity service officers recommended
by tne comnission will be needed when tiuese projects open.

We have a Task Force of 40 ofi.icers commanded by a
negro captain. Tney are assigned to tiese same areas to give
tne law abiding citizens a good tough police service. They
work from 4:30 P.M. to 12:30 A.M. “Tnis force ot men know
tne cowmunity, tneir lanzuage and”habits. Tney will know when
tensions run high in tueir area, These nen are selected fox
this type duty and must nave good reputations in tne neigabor-
hoods.

Se at Lak
: Marcn 26, 1968
Page 2

In tne event ot any tense situation, we plan to
move the entire Crime Prevention Bureau into tiie area. We
hope with tue knowledge tney nave or tne area and tne people
tney know, tuey will ve esle to relieve the situation. If
not, tie Task Force will follow. Iz tuese rail, the Riot
Squad will be brovsit in.

SUBJECT: Suggested action on the report of the National Ad-.
visory Committee on Civil Disorders

A meeting of the following Division Heads was held at Fire De-=
partment Headquarters, Tuesday, March 26, 1968, at 10 a.m. for

Fire Marshal J. F. Seagraves

Superintendent of Alarms T. H. Cobb
Superintendent of Maintenance J. R. Cochran, and
Training Chief R. W. McGill

Chief Ragsdale called for a report from each individual and
the following appeared to be the consensus of opinion of all
in attendance,

l. Only one area addressed itself to the activities of the Fire
Department and that was to provide more effective communications
in the areas concerned or in other words project the Fire De=-
partment and its activities to the residents in order to improve
the image that now exists.

2. In order to effectively accomplish No. 1 above the following
recommendations are made:

A. Prepare a brochure that would project the Fire Department
such as: Outlining the responsibilities of each Division
explaining the functions of all concerned and to emphasis
upon the citizens of these areas that the Fire Department
exists for only one purpose and that is for the protection
of life and property in all areas, to all citizens. This
booklet would contain such information as the requirements
for employment, the training, and benefits derived from
being employed by the City of Atlanta Fire Department, an
e

Page 2

open invitation to all personnel:to visit their Fire De-
partment, how to report a fire, how to obtain emergency
responses, the need for protecting fire apparatus, many
fire prevention steps to be taken by each citizen, and
an explanation that the Fire Prevention Bureau is avail-
able to assist any group by making Fire Prevention talks,
demonstrations, and showing of film.

nstitute a program of visitation into various communities

or the purpose of distribution of Fire Prevention Literature,
nstrations of Fire Equipment, and providing for*Dwelling
ections on request. During the inspection extend an in-
tion to residents to visit their community Fire Station.

ing fires.

5. Coordinate with the Water Department in providing street
showers for children in these areas utilizing the fire hydrants.

6. Cooperate fully with "Little City Hall" in answering complaints
and grievances that come under the jurisdiction of this Depart-

ment.

7. Have the Fire Department Personnel, especially Chief Officers,
show their interestand concern for citizens in these areas
in responding to alarms.

In reference to Fire Departments and Civil Disorders (Page 493)
wherein specific recommendations are set forth for fire service
during civil disorders we make the following observations:

Dear Ivan:
Thanks for your letter and request that I give some attention to Chapter 14
of the Report of the Presiden t's Commiss i on on Civil Disorders which re lates
to repair and compensation of damages incurred in riot areas.
You are to be commended for moving so vigorous ly and i n such comprehensive
thrust to meet the requirements of this Report. This is typical of you,
however.
I am rather thoroughly familiar with Ch a pter 14 as well as the whole r eport
of the Insurance Advisory Panel submitted by Governor Richard Hughes of
New Jersey. Several of my fellow Insurance Commissioners and I worked
rather closely and pleasantly with both Governor Hugh e s and his executive
assistant, Stanford Ross , in research and hearings prior to the drafting of the
report.
The proposed changes in th e Federal Disaste r Act mentioned in Chapter 14
are already under way in the Federal Congress where legisl a tion was i n troduced
several days ago .
The s econd section of Chapter 14 deals with the subject o f insurance , and
h ere again l egis l a tion has already b een introduced in th e Fed e ral Congress t o
implement the nationwide aspects of the recommendation. Th e s e include the
creation of a n a tional insurance development corporation whi ch will provi de a
type of reinsura nce for the industry for riot l osses du e to the disturbing
withdrawa l of Europea n re i ns urers fro m th e Ameri can market. Legi s l ation h as
a l s o b ee n introd u ced in th e Congress by Sena t or Russ e ll Long and Congressman

I have already held exploratory sessions with local property and casualty insurance
executives on the subject of the recommended "voluntary plans" to provide fair access
to property insurance for property owners. A joint industry - government group is
being formed to deve lop voluntary plans and give the opportunity to the industry to
respond without the neces sity of mandatory le gislation creating insurance pools to
facilitat e insuring property in urban core areas.
It would be helpful to have your personal assistance in this program or the benefit of
the expertise of some of your department heads and municipal officials. I will be
contacting you about this later in the spring .
It appears, therefore, that every flank has been covered from the insurance, compensation and repair aspect of the riot problem. These areas obviously involve state
and federal action . I have already testified twice and filed four separate statements
with Congressional Committees in Washington on these subjects. I think that the
pre sently pending federal legis lation with some quite appropriate amendments will
be passed within the next six ty days.
Work to be done on the insurance aspect here at the state level is progressing, and
I will continue to report to you on it. Incidentally , a recent state-wide survey of
insurance agents and brokers indicates virtually no di scrimination against property
owners in Georgia due to race and color. There are the implications of race and
geographical discriminations which themselves are minimum in Georgia. They will
nevertheless be significantly studied as we begin applying these proposed solutions.
Finally, l et me thank you for your good and patient l eaders hip at the municipal
leve l. We must pray fervently and regularly that our City and our entire State will
continue to be spare d this humiliating destruction. Understanding and patient l eadership
is a part of the solution.

Dear Ivan:

Thanks for your letter and request that I give some attention to Chapter 14
of the Report of the President's Commission on Civil Disorders which relates
to repair and compensation of damages incurred in riot areas,

You are to be commended for moving so vigorously and in such comprehensive
thrust to meet the reauirements of this Report. This is typical of you,

however.

I am rather thoroughly familiar with Cnapter 14 as well as the whole report
of the Insurance Advisory Panel submitted by Governor Richard Hughes of
New Jersey. Several of my fellow Insurance Commissioners and I worked
rather closely and pleasantly with both Governor Hughes and his executive
assistant, Stanford Ross, in research and hearings prior to the drafting of the
report.

The proposed changes in the Federal Disaster Act mentioned in Chapter 14
are already under way in the Federal Congress where legislation was introduced

several days ago.

The second section of Chapter 14 deals with the subject of insurance, and

here again legislation has already been introduced in the Federal Congress to
implement the nationwide aspects of the recommendation. These include the
creation of a national insurance development corporation which will provide a
type of reinsurance for the industry for riot losses due to the disturbing
withdrawal of European reinsurers from the American market, Legislation has
also been introduced in the Congress by Senator Russell Long and Congressman
Wilbur Mills to accomplish the proposed tax deferral features of the Panel

report,
Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. - 2- April 8, 1968

              <text>CITY FINANCED SUMMER JOSS# FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTHS 16-21

Using the round figure $100,066, the Federal minimum of
$1.60, and 17 (May l-Septembex 1) 40-hour weeks, a total of 100
(approxinate) openings is derived.

Time has not permitted an exhaustive survey of all City
departments, divisions, sections, and sites, The openings bela
indicate that the locating of 100 jobs is not really difficuite
screening, pidcenesk, counseling and training being much more
demanding.

Every effort would be nade to make into permanent employees
all who beceme eligible. Hope for success in this should be
realistic (10&lt;25%) and provision made for program continuance for
those still ineligible at the end of the summer.

Placing a small number of hard core unemployables 16-22 in
each City Department or division is not the most efficient way.
Due to vacations individual work forces tend te be small in summer
stretching experienced help even further to keep up with work demands.
Consequently even less than usual time (and inclination) is available
for any sort cf on-the-job training and necessary counseling. Too,
if the work unit adjusts pace and precedure to fit the new employee (s)
* Of the 589 summer people employed last ('67) summer, 416 were

City-financed and included such as 31 lifeguards, 59 locker
attendants, 27 swimming pool managers and 50 or so recreation

leaders, The Parks Department plans approximately the same
number of placements this year in similar programs.
another adjustment becomes necessary at the end of the summer.
f. more efficient way is ta put ali se as many as possible
temporary (summer) employees in seasonal Soos or to work with
suseawen City operations, Examples of these are "Camp Wilderness"
and the Atlanta Beautification Corps, both described belcw.
By departments:
ae Parks
1. Plans have been subnitted for the employment of 300 youths
as recreation assistants (youth leaders).
2. Camp Wilderness: A program which would utilize from 25
to 100 youthsemale or fenale- in ground cleaning, building
repair, etc. at a site on Lake Allatoona. Employees could
be transported back and forth cach day or, as facilities
become available, every five days. Part of the lua eGuta
be spent in recreation.
3. Twelve (minimum) zoo aidesemale or females to replace and
supplement prisoners. In summer this number could be increased,
Duties to include light grounds maintenance, biiilding custodial
work, guide service, protention and care for younger children.

Successful performance leads to promotion to zoo attendant,
he Several greenhouse aides and 6-10 custodial workers (male
or female) at the golf courses and parks for grounds clean
UP»

b. Traffic Engineering:
Six males year round to perform Light labor at the Sign Shop
and on the street. Two males at the Signal Shop to serve
as electrician helpers and pex form modezate labor duties,

Six males (well screened) to sexyve as traffic checkers. Two

femaies (weLlL screened) to provide clerical heip in the engineering

division.

c. Municipal Garages: Four males te learn and perform semieskilled
work.

ad. Sanitation: The Atlanta Beautification Corps (ABC) now is
divided into three groups witn a total of about 50 workers and
foremen., Because of its tight but flexible organization its
growth potentialesllowing adequate timesis infinite. At present
it could absorb 18524 young workers who would have the benefit
of association with stable, more mature workers. EQOA has promoised
an early increase in ABC allotment which could also increase tne
number of City=-financed workers to 35 or more. The advent of
spring brings tne possibility or more daversified activities by
ABCegrass, flowers, shrubsewhicn increases interest as weli as

responsivality.
4

e. Streets: 12620 expressway shoulder cleanevp workers (males or
younger females) to be tied in with the present eperation in that
AaTeAa.s

£. City Wides S-]O counselors to screen, counsel, train and generally
oversee the workers hired in this operation and those in the
Neighborhood Youth Corps expansion (cf MrSe Thompson's report).

It is cobvieus that if the money becomes available more than

enough slots can be found to provide meaningful work to hard core

unemployahles, Only in several instances is any real talent or

sophistication required, and all offer ladder or lateral promotional

possibility in a year round progran.

Federa ll_y_Fun ded Progam
The appro ximate ly 75 federally fund ed "job slots" bein g made available to
the City of Atlanta for the Summer by Economic Opportunity Atlanta and continuing employment of "hard-core" unemp loye d youth c an be utili zed by the various
departments as outlined rough l y on th e attached listing . Mo re th an 100 persons
have been reques t ed by reportin g dep a rt men ts and, if additional federal funds
are allocated, other job slots c an be developed by a follow-up of previo us oral
and written communi cations with the various depar t men ts.
For maximum success in this endeavor, based on unfortunate experience
in a somewhat large r and rnore ambitious pro gram three years ago,, th e following
sugges tions are made :
II.
1.
That screening and selective placement be effected by the City
Personne l Depart men t after initi a l screening by the va rious
Neighborhood Youth Center referrin g a gencies .
2.
That no more th an five enrollee s be ass i gned to a qualified,
informe d, and concerned supervisor for counselling purposes.
(New jobs with N.Y.C .. , at level above enrollee)
3.
That a re gular weekly group session for all these summer enrollees-plus all of th e pre sent ly e nrolled N.Y.C. workers -- be instituted
as an important, int egral, required prog ram ph ase . Groups could
visit various City faciliti es by prope r advance planning ; and civic,
civil, and social a menities could be the indirect· objective.
4.

Other Recommendations
It is suggested that certain programs, such as the City's federally
funded ABC program be expanded into a variety of community service areas
or into existing City service programs ; e . g., nursery service programs or
Zoo · staffing subqrdinate assignments. These expanded programs would enable
employme nt of female older workers who are family breadwinners. Their
employment on a regular basis would begin to establish the necessary
stability in the family unit.

I, Federally Funded Program

The approximately 75 federally funded "job slots" being made available to
the City of Atlanta for the Summer by Economic Opportunity Atlanta and continu-
ing employment of "hard-core" unemployed youth can be utilized hy the various
departments as outlined roughly on the attached listing. More than 100 persons
have been requested by reporting departments and, if additional federal funds
are allocated, other job slots can be developed by a follow-up of previous oral
and written communications with the various departments.

For maximum success in this endeavor, based on unfortunate experience
in a somewhat larger and more ambitious program three years ago, the following
suggestions are made:

1. That screening and selective placement be effected by the City
Personnel Department after initial screening by the various
Neighborhood Youth Center referring agencies.

2. That no more than five enrollees be assigned to a qualified,
informed, and concerned supervisor for counselling purposes.:
(New jobs with N.Y.C., at level above enrollee)

3. That a regular weekly group session for all these summer enrollees~—
plus all of the presently enrolled N.Y.C. workers -- be instituted
as an important, integral, required program phase. Groups could
visit various City facilities by proper advance planning; and civic,
civil, and social amenities could be the indirect’ objective.

4, That Rule 59, Labor Laws of Georgia, 1963 edition, relating to the
lifting of 30# or more for minors and women be modified to allow
less restricted employment of youths age 16 and 17. (Mr. Murray
Silver, State Labor Department Attorney, February 5, 1968, advised
that such modification was to be effected.) I have requested assis~
tance of the State Commissioner of Labor in securing a liberalization
of this restrictive rule.

II. Existing Job Vacanciles

Consideration is being given to whether it is feasible or legal to post-
pone for the duration of the summer months the establishment of civil service
registers in classes such as Auditorium Utility Worker I, Automotive Serviceman I,
Clerk, Community Recreation Leader, Engineering Aide I, Incinerator Operator I,
Semi-Skilled Worker, Treatment Plant Operator, Zoo Attendant, Laborer, and Waste
Collector so that as many as possible of such positions may be filled by unem-
ployed youth.
III. Other Recommendations

It is suggested that certain programs, such as the City's federally
funded ABC program be expanded into a variety of community service areas
or into existing City service programs; e.g., nursery service programs or
Zoo staffing subordinate assignments. These expanded programs would enable
employment of female older workers who are family breadwinners. Their
employment on a regular basis would begin to establish the necessary

stability in the family unit.

April 2 1 1968
Mayor Ivan Allen , Jr.
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georg ia
Dear Mayor Allen:
Pursuant to your guidance at the organizational meeting of
the Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders held in the City
Hall March 19, 1968, and to c are ful reading of Chapters 10
and 17 of Repor t o f the.National Advisory Commission on
Civil Disorders, I have reached the conclusion that the
City Personnel Department for several years gradually has
been putting into practice most of the recommendations of
the Commission pertaining to emp loyme nt. I agree, however ,
that other steps s hould be t aken and h a v e prepared two
recomme nd a tion s , one th a t r equires action a nd money from
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen . Both require coope ration
from all departments of the City governme nt.
Thoug h it is true that the obj ec tive of the City Pers onne l
Departme nt to provide the City government with the best
qu a lifie d personnel available and to do so by ope ration of
a compe titive merit system d es igned to give priority to the

PERSONNEL BOARD
CITY HALL ANNEX
260 CENTRAL AVENUE, 5. W.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303
CARL T. SUTHERLAND ;
Director April 2 1968

Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

Pursuant to your guidance at the organizational meeting of
the Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders held in the City
Hall March 19, 1968, and to careful reading of Chapters 10
and 17 of Report of the National Advisory Commission on
Civil Disorders, I have reached the conclusion that the
City Personnel Department for several years gradually has
been putting into practice most of the recommendations of
the Commission pertaining to employment. I agree, however,
that other steps should be taken and have prepared two
recommendations, one that requires action and money from
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Both require cooperation
from all departments of the City government.

Though it is true that the objective of the City Personnel
Department to provide the City government with the best
qualified personnel available and to do so by operation of

a competitive merit system designed to give priority to the
best qualified applicants, the Civil Service Act is suf-
ficiently flexible to provide for certain types of temporary
employment in the unclassified service. The Civil Service
Act also gives the Personnel Director wide latitude in estab-
lishing requirements for applicants, and I have exercised
the authority given me to adjust standards to meet condi-
tions that have confronted the City government during the
past several years.

Requirements have been reduced for nearly all classes of
jobs. Establishment of minimum standards is avoided as
Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. -—2= April 2, 1968

-™much as deemed practicable, and for most jobs the word
"desirable" has been substituted for "minimum" in listing
education, training, and experience standards. Performance
tests have replaced written tests wherever practicable.

With approval of the Personnel Board, employment of per-
sonnel with criminal records has been liberalized except for
positions concerned with law enforcement, working with
children in the schools and recreation departments, and in
other positions of trust and responsibility. Upon the
recommendation of state and county parole authorities, we
have approved employment of parolees with good prison de-
portment records.

The age limits have been lowered to 20 for Police Patrolmen,
18 for Firemen, and 17 for clerical and unskilled personnel.
Locker attendants and life guards may be employed at age 16.
Few job classes have maximum age limits except those set by
statute. Though there is reluctance by many department

heads to employ personnel above age 40, considerable numbers
above age 50, and several above age 60, have been employed.

As you are aware, since January 1, 1962, Negroes, whose ap-
plications prior to this time were accepted only for entrance
level jobs, have been encouraged to apply for all classes of
jobs, and many have been employed in jobs above the entrance
level.

The Personnel Training Coordinator with the cooperation of
the Public Works Department has established a training
program for truck driver aspirants, enabling both White and
Negro Laborers and Waste Collectors to be trained and to
meet the requirements for promotion. This program will be
continued.

Also, with the cooperation of the Atlanta Public Schools,

a training program for first level supervisory personnel

has been established to upgrade the qualifications of incum-
bents of first level supervisory positions and to qualify
applicants for promotion to these positions,
Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. =—3— April 2, 1968

The Personnel Training Coordinator also planned and organized
with the cooperation of the Sanitary Department (now the
Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department) the At-—
lanta Beautification Corps, a federally financed program
under the sponsorship of Economic Opportunity Atlanta. This
program employs approximately fifty disadvantaged persons
ranging from age 18 to age 68 and is composed of about 88%
women, largely Negro. Mr. Farrow still exercises overall
supervision of this program. Numerous favorable comments
concerning the deportment and accomplishments of this group
have been received from interested citizens and personnel of
the City government. Mr. Farrow reports that if funds were
available, several hundred additional personnel could be
employed in the Atlanta Beautification Corps with advantage
to both the employees and the City.

The positive actions referred to above have done much to
provide career opportunities for disadvantaged minorities,
but much still needs to be done. Two programs prepared by
members of my staff, outlines of which are attached hereto,
are proposed to assist in implementation of some of the em-
ployment objectives of the Report of the National Advisory
Commission on Civil Disorders. These programs would provide
employment opportunities for approximately 200 disadvantaged
personnel.

Respectfully,

CONCERNI1,G NEEDS AND ES'l'HiATED COSTS
OF IHPLEHENTING THE RECO}frIBNDATIONS
OF THE ADVISORY C0rff'1ITTEE
· ON CIVIL DISORDER
s umnTTED BY
\
Robet:t N, Wood, Chairman
Atlanta Child ren an&lt;l · Youth
Services Counci l
�I. In order to assess the feasibility of impl ementing the recommendations of
the ~ational Advisory Commi ttee on Civil Disorder, the Atlanta Children and
Youth Services Council will fir s t indic a te the extent and intensity of youth
problems as related to civil disorder.
Observing the report of the National Advisory Commi ttee, the Youth
Council immediately noticed the extent of youth participation in Civil Disorder .
For examp le, the Committee reports that the typical rioter in the summer of
196 7 was a Negro, unmarried male between the .:?.ges 15 and 24. In De troit, 61. 3%
of the self reported rioters were between the ag~s 15 and 24 and 86,3% were
between 15 and 35~ The arrest data indicated that 52.5% of the arrestees were
between 15 and 24, and 80.8 perc ent were between 15 and 35. In short, the ·
typical rioter was a teenager or young adult, a life long resident of the city
in which he rioted, a high school drop-out • .
In Atlanta preliminary data re~e~ led tha t riot participants were between
the ages 9 and 35. The overwhe lming majority of those arrested in Atlanta's
riot 0£ 1967 were les s that 30 years old. These data reveal that riots are by
and large initiated , prolonged , and participated in bf youth and young adults.
These dat a also bear witness to the l ack of interest, energy, and resources
needed to deal with youth problems and needs realistically and honestly.
In Atlanta, the need for more concentrated and realistic allocation of
personnel and resources to deal with youth problems increases ever year . For
example 57% of Fulton County's Juve nile Delinquents were residents of Atlanta 's
poverty areas in 1964. In 1965 43% of al l people arrested for ma jor crimes
in Atl anta ,1ere below 17 years of age. The de linque ncy r a te h as increased
llf•% fas tcr than the general population. The rccidivis t rate for F•.!:!.ton County
Youth of fend ers is 40%. The general restlessness of inner city Atlc1nta Youth
has increased to a dangerous level. ·in addition there are ~,000 school dropouts in Atlnnta . In 1965, lfOo/.. of the youth tested by the Fulton County Juvenile
Court were 5 years or more below their prope r grade l eve l. Another lf0% were
three or more y ears behind.
These statis tics mere ly reflect some of the problems facing Atlnnta'i youth.
Other problems are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
high illigitimacy r a t es .
incrriasing de l i nquency in afflue nt areas .
increasing b e ll igerent postures by minority you th , par ticulary
in civil rights activities.
rebe llion on coll ege c afilpuses.
youth ant i-dra ft and a nti-uar act j_viti cs.
Concomitant and correl a ted to youth participation in civil d:i.sorders and riots
is the ir participa tion in nonnal de linqu ent activities , individua lly and col l ective ly.
Considering the broad range of needs and prob l ems facin g Atlanta'o you th the

This recreational provision should be totally
devoted to l a te afternoon, eveninr; an&lt;l night
activities as we ll as evening activities.

i mplemen t a t i on fo r out we i gh poss ibl e dis advantages . Opinions concerning
-3-
�both advantages and dis advantages are as follows :
A.
Establishment o~ Nei,-~hborhood .T-"'-sk force s offers the advantages of:
1.
providing more ef fee tive citizen- governmental com.11mnication.
2.
providing a means through which community problems may
be acted upon and resolved quickly and effectively.
3.
projecting the ideal that government is genuinely
interested in ghetto problems.
4.
restructuring governmental functions to meet city needs.
The mayor of the City of Atlanta has taken the necessary action to
implement the above recommendation. It is desired that such actions pay
particular attention to youth problems. To overlook youth would constitute
a serious disadvantage.
B.
Establishment of Effective Grievance Response Mechanisms offers the
advantages of:
1.
pro1iding citi zens with meaningful avenues for resolving
grievances.
2.
reducing frustrations associated with unresolved grievences.
3.
providing ghetto youth with some means of being recognized
as citizens.
4.
providing possible employm2nt for ghetto youth.
The disadvantages associated w5. th this recorrunendation depend entirely
upon 1.rnproper implementation which wi.11 cause:
C.
1.
Imprope r responses to griavances.
2.
Improper dispos ition of grievances .
3.
Overlooking or ignoring youth grievances,
Extended~ Se rvices to-143.215.248.55 Poor offers the advantages of:
1.
pro~iding ghe tto citi zens wici1 l ega l means for resolving
difficulties .
2.
reducing the probability of the (application of) partial justice .
3.
reducing hos tilities and mutua l di srespect between police and
ghetto re s ident s .
4.
facilit a ting the grievance res ponse mechanism .
5.
discouraging the uns urption of the r ight s of ghe tto residents
especially by priva t e bu siness and individua ls.
�Some of th~ idis advantages of i mplemen ting this suggestion are:
J.
inadequate legal pers onnel available for the required task.
2.
distrust of residents of lega l advisors.
3.
legal services do not, in themselves, solve basic problems.
4. · legal services usua lly are not available or considered
import0nt for youth.
D.
Assistance for mayors a.nd .s:_ity councils offers the advantages of:
1.
2.
providing mayors and city councils with needed assistance
from state and federal government as uell as other source.
creating of new governmen tal bodies to deal with urban
problems particularly youth problems .
Some disadvantage s which may grow out of this reconnnendat:i.on ~re:
E.
1.
an increased centralization of services.
2.
um1illingness of state government to provide services
for city problems .
Hearin~~ Ghetto Problems and Enactmen t of Appropriate· Loc a l · Le gis l~- tions offers the advantages of:
1.
removing legal barriers to solving ghetto proble11tS.
2.
providing government with valid and reliable knouleqge concerning
ghetto problc~s.
3.
indicating to ghetto residents the degree of concern tha t city
government has for ghetto problems.
The dis advantage associated with this recom.--nenclation are few in proportion
to Atlnnta's need s . They are :
F.
1.
non-enforc e~en t of legisl a tion pertaining to ghetto probl ems.
2.
unconcern of legi s l a tors with ghetto problems.
_Expand ed Emo J. oyment
of:
EY City Governm~n t of Gh et to Re s idents of fe r the adv.2.ntages
1.
employraent of unemployed ghetto youth.
2.
city government t aking the i nitiative and setting an example to
other agencies regarding employment of ghetto youth.
3.
adding substances to the d!de11l that city government serves all
Atlantans.
-5-
�The disc2dv,mtages of imptemen ting this rccorrnnenda U.on arc:
G.
1.
unwillingness to alter present city personnel and merit
system policies.
2,
likelihood of hiring ghetto residents in the same traditional
least desirable jobs only.
Establishme nt of Neighborhood City_ H.iJ.l offers the advantages of:
1.
decentralization of government to meet to meet particular
community needs.
2.
assisting in the encouragement of favorable attitudes by
residents towards government.
The disadvantages of this suggestion are:
H.
l.
deteJ:l!lining the jurisdiction and degree of responsibility which
vould · enable Neighbm:hood City Hall to adequately function.
2.
the probability of limited personnel and funds to can:y out
this function not being provided.
Devclop;nent of Hulti-Services Centers off:er the advantages of:
l.
providing co:.11plete and comprehensive service::, to ghetto
residents.
2. . providing more resources to · existing agencies.
I.
Improved Politi.cal Representation offers the advantages of:
1.
2.
assuring tha t the interests and needs of ghetto residents
· are represented.
facilitating a reallocation of community resources on a more
equitable basis.
The disadvantages of this suggestion are:
J.
1.
ghetto resid ent s are usually politically apathetic.
2.
the resistance to restructuring of political bodies by powerful
special int eres t groups and pers ons.
Hore Effective Corrnm.mity Partid.pation offers the adwmtagcs of:
l.
2.
3,
reducing comn1i.mi ty apa thy.
providing gh e tto residents with opportunities to help solve
. community problems .
reducing the seemingly arbitniriness of so:nc governmental
decisions.
-6-
�The probable disadvanta ges of implementing this recommendation arc:
1.
the lack of mean:i.ngful commun.i ty organization. -
2,
corrm1Unication betuecn ghetto residents and city eovernment is
not encoura ging at present.
III. The Atlanta Children ind Youth Services Council is charged TTith the responsibility for coordinating all services aimed at helping youth j_n m0.tropolitan
Atlanta. The recommendations of the Advisory Commissio·n, if implemented, will
affect directly the Councils operation. This is due to the very obvious fact
that the recorr::;1endations of the Advisory Cormnission address themselves to urban
problerns v7hich in effect are youth problems.
If implemented, the recommendations TTill provide the Council with staff and
.other resources to broaden the scop e of its services as related. Therefore,
the recommendations of the Advisory committee are revelant to the Council's
responsibility only if they empha size youth.

CONCERNING NEEDS AND ESTIMATED COSTS
OF IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE

*ON CIVIL DISORDER -

SUBMITTED BY

Robert M. food, Chairman

Atlanta Children and‘ Youth _—

Services Council.
J, In order to assess the feasibility of implementing the recommendations of
the National Advisory Committee on Civil Disorder, the Atlanta Children and
Youth Services Council will first indicate the extent and intensity of youth
problems as related to civil disorder.

Observing the report of the National Advisory Committee, the Youth
Council immediately noticed the extent of youth participation in Civil Disorder.
For example, the Committee reports that the typical rioter in the summer of
1967 was a Negro, unmarried male between the ages 15 and 24, In Detroit, 61.3%
of the self reported rioters were between the ages 15 and 24 and 86.3% were
between 15 and 35. The arrest data indicated that 52.5% of the arresteces were
between 15 and 24, and 60.8 percent were between 15 and 35. In short, the -
typical rioter was a teenager or young adult, a life long resident of the city
in which he rioted, a high school drop-out.

In Atlanta preliminary data revealed that riot participants were between
the ages 9 and 35. The overwhelming majority of those arrested in Atlanta's
riot of 1967 were less that 30 years old. These data reveal that riots are by
and large initiated, prolonged, and participated in by youth and young adults,
These data also bear witness to the lack of interest, energy, and resources
needed to deal with youth problems and needs realistically and honestly.

In Atlanta, the need for more concentrated and realistic allocation of
personnel and resources to deal with youth problems increases ever year. For
example 57% of Fulton County's Juvenile Delinquents were residents of Atlanta's
poverty areas in 1964, In 1965 43% of all people arrested for major crimes
in Atlanta were below 17 years of age. The delinquency rate has increased
114% faster than the general population, The recidivist rate for Fulton County
Youth offenders is 40%. The general restlessness of inner city Atlanta Youth
has increased to a dangerous level. ‘In addition there are 3,000 school drop-
outs in Atlanta. In 1965, 40% of the youth tested by the Fulton County Juvenile
Court were 5 years or more below their proper grade level, Another 40% were
three or more years behind.

These statistics merely reflect some of the problems facing Atlanta's youth,
Other problems are:

1. high illigitimacy rates,

2. increasing delinquency in affluent areas

3. increasing belligerent postures by minority youth, particulary

in civil rights activities,
4. rebellion on college campuses,
5. youth anti-draft and anti-war activities.
Concomitant and correlated to youth participation in civil disorders and riots

is their participation in normal delinquent activities, individually and collect-
ively.

Considering the broad range of needs and problems facing Atlanta's youth the
' Atlenta Children and Youth Services Council specifically reconmend the following
courses of actions aimed at reducing tensions and the possibility of civil
disorders in slums and blighted areas for the summer 1968.

1.

3.

7.

8.

That the city of Atlanta emphasize and provide more
recreational programs and facilities in Slum areas
for teenagers and young adults. If this is not
geographically feasible, then the city should
subsidize and/or provide transportation to areas
where such programs and facilities are available.
This recreational provision should be totally
devoted to late afternoon, evening and night
activities as well as evening activities.

That the city sponsor an outreach Street Workers

' Program where outreach workers may go into

potentially trouble areas and work for periods

of time with detached and unreached individual
youth helping them become involved in meaningful
employment, recreation and education. This

program will be coordinated by the Atlanta Children
and Youth Services Council and will be operated on
@ contractual basis with other operationg agencies
to supervise street workers.

That several youth from the Youth Congress be
appointed to the Mayor's Civil Disorder Advisory
Committee.

That a workshop be conducted by the Atlanta
Children and Youth Service Council, the Police
Department, Social Agencies, Civil Rights Groups,
and Youth Organizations around athere of "Police-
Youth Relationships" in which all divisions of
the police department will participate. The
Community Relations Services, U.S. Department of
Justice will assist in sponsoring such a program.

That all city departments channel all youth requests,
grievances, complaints, etc. to the Atlanta Children
and Youth Services Council] which is the agency
established to deal with these matters.

That the work of the Crime Prevention Bureau and
Juvenile units of the Police Department be more
closely related to the Youth Covncil in the
planning and implementing of their programs.

That the switchboard in City Hall be open daily
from 5:00 p.m, until 12:00 a.m. with persons
available to receive complaints and grievances

and furnish names and telephone numbers of persons
to call during emergency or crisis periods.

That the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council
and the Comunity Relations Comnission be provided
funds to hire community organizers, for youth and
adults in racially transitional areas such as
West End, Bellwood, Grant Park, Capitol Homes and
&lt;irkwood,

9. That the police department make available, upon
request and without cost to the requesting agency,
manpower to supervise certain potentially volatile
activities such as dances, especially in areas where
agencies are operating interracial dances.

10. That the police department increase the number of
integrated patrols that operate in certain areas.
11. That the Mayor, or his designee, call a weekly
staff meeting of all department and agency heads.
. All other appropriate public agencies should be
| invited to participate in such meetings.

12, That there be established in the office of the
Director of Governmental Laison the necessary
machinery for getting weekly telephanic reporting
of complaints, rumors, and incidents from all
public and quasi-public agencies in the Atlanta
area,

13. That the Board of Education examine the pupil-
pupil and teacher-pupil relationships in schools
where the degree of desegregation is significant.
The Board should ascertain and deal with rumored
increases in racial conflicts at such schools.

14. That the Mayor establishes a small interracial
committee composed of key businessmen, one solid
type Negro youth, one grass roots type Negro
youth, who he can call on to actually advise
citizens, police, and others in times of civil”
disorder and tensions. This committee would be
representative of the Mayor's office and have
rights and responsibilities to make inquiries of
any city official in dealing with problems of
this nature,

15. That the Atlanta Children and Youth Services
Council be given more funds to facilitate maximum
effectiveness by the Council and to enable the
Council to be of more use to private and public
agencies in carrying out their programs.

The above recomnendations are minimal when compared with Atlanta's needs.
However, the Council emphasizes the necessity for their implementation if
Atlanta is to reduce tensions and possible Civil for the summer of 1968.

Ii. Referring to the recomnendations contained in chapted 10 of the
teport of the National Advisory Cownission on Civil Disorder, the Atlanta
Children and Youth Services Council feels that the advantages of their
implementation for out weigh possible disadvantages. Opinions concerning
both advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

A. Establishment of Neighborhood Task Forces offers the advantages of:

1.

2,

3.

ie

providing more effective citizen-governmental communication.

providing a means through which community problems may
be acted upon and resolved quickly and effectively.

projecting the ideal that government is genuinely
interested in ghetto problems.

restructuring governmental functions to meet city needs,

The mayor of the City of Atlanta has taken the necessary action to
implement the above recommendation, It is desired that such actions pay
particular attention to youth problems. To overlook youth would constitute
a serious disadvantage.

B. Establishment of Effective Grievance Response Mechanisms offers the
advantages of:

1.

2.

3.

4.

providing citizens with meaningful avenues for resolving
grievances,

reducing frustrations associated with unresolved grievences.

*

providing en youth with some means of being recognized
as citizens

providing possible employment for ghetto youth,

The disadvantages associated with this recommendation depend entirely
upon improper implementation which will cause:

PA
2.

3.

Improper responses to gricvences, -
Improper disposition of grievances,

Overlooking or ignoring youth grievances,

C. Extended Legal Services to the Poor offers the advantages of:

1,

2.

providing ghetto citizens with legal means for resolving
difficulties.

reducing the probability of the (application of) partial justice.

reducing hostilities and mutual disrespect between police and
ghetto residents, 7

facilitating the grievance response mechanism,

discouraging the unsurption of the rights of ghetto residents
especially by private business and individuals.

~he
Some of thé:disadvantages of implementing this suggestion are:
1. inadequate legal pexsonnel available for the required task.
2. distrust of residents of legal advisors.
3, legal services do not, in ieqacivns, sabve basic problems.

4.- legal services usually are not available or considered
important for youth.
D. Assistance for mayors and city councils offers the advantages of:

1. providing mayors and city councils with needed assistance
from state and federal government as well as other source,

2. creating of new governmental bodies to deal with urban
problems particularly youth problems.

Some disadvantages which may grow out of this recommendation ere:
1. an increased centralization of services.

2. unwillingness of state government to provide services
for city problems.

E. Hearings on Ghetto Problems and Enactment of Appropriate Local Legisla-
tions offers the advantages of:

 

1. removing legal barriers to solving ghetto problems,

2. providing government with valid and reliable knowledge concerning
ghetto problems,

3. indicating to ghetto residents the degree of concern that city
government has for ghetto problems, 7

The disadvantage associated with this recommendation are few in proportion
to Atlnnta's necds. They are:

1, non-enforcement of legislation pertaining to ghetto problems,
2. wunconcern of legislators with ghetto problems.

F. Expanded Employment by City Government of Ghetto Residents offer the advantages
of:

1. employment of unemployed ghetto youth.

2, city government taking the initiativa and setting an example to
other agencies regarding employment of ghetto youth,

3, adding substances to the édeal that city government serves all
Atlantans.

a&amp;e
The disadvantages of implementing this recomnendation are:

1. unwillingness to alter present city personnel and merit
system policies.

2. likelihood of hiring ghetto residents in the same traditional
least desirable jobs only.

G. Establishment of Neighborhood City Hall offers the advantages of:

1. decentralization of government to meet to meet particular
community needs.

2. assisting in the encouragement of favorable attitudes by
residents towards government.

The disadvantages of this suggestion are:

1. detexmining the jurisdiction and degree of responsibility which
would enable Neighborhood City Hall to adequately function.

2. the prebability of limited personnel and funds to carry out
this function not being provided.

H. Development of Multi-Services Centers offer the advantages of:

1. providing complete and coinprehensive services to ghetto
residents.

2. providing more resources to existing agencies,
I. Jmproved Political Representation offers the advantages of:

1. assuring that the interests and needs of ghetto residents
“are represented.

2. facilitating a reallocation of community resources on a more
equitable basis,

The disadvantages of this suggestion are:
1. ghetto residents are usually politically apathetic.

2. the resistance to restructuring of ae bodies by powerful
special interest groups and parsons

J. More Effective Community Participation offers the advantages of:

 

1. reducing community apathy.

2. providing ghetto residents with opportunities to help solve
community problems,

3, reducing the seemingly arbitrariness of some governmental
decisions, _
The probable disadvantages of implementing this recommendation are:
1. the lack of meaningful community organization.

2. communication between ghetto residents and city government is
not encoureging at present.

III. fhe Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council is charged with the responsi-
bility for coordinating all services aimed at helping youth in metropolitan
Atlanta. The recommendations of the Advisory Commission, if implemented, will
affect directly the Councils operation. This is due to the very obvious fact

that the recommendations of the Advisory Commission address themselves to urban

problems which in effect are youth problems.

If implemented, the recommendations will provide the Council with staff and
other resources to broaden the scope of its services as related. Therefore,
the recommendations of the Advisory committee are revelant to the Council's
responsibility only if they emphasize youth.
