Eliza Paschall Executive Director Community Relations Commission 1203 City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mrs. Paschall: My involvement in community activities has come to a temporary halt. There are several reasons I feel responsible for the changes One of then is, "The Method", Unless I organize a group to protest a complaint, the complaint continues to remain. There are several issues that are very important, and will go uneattended unless there is a movement arranged to solve theme Number two is "The Complaints", The summer regreation program is one one of the biggest hoax ever casted upon the underpriviledged citizens in this city. The only beneficiaries of the Atlanta Recreation Department were the staff and employees, and they were either the hired staff, aides, employees who were there to participate with the facilities. And they were either enjoying themselves or sitting down drawing pay. There were more youngsters playing in the street than there were in, or on, the premises made available by the city or organizations. While I am on the subject of organizations, the Summerhill area has at least five that are crowing out the others and duplicating programs together in the buildings that are too small for then all. This causes confusion and keeps most of the youngesters puzzled. To name a few, The Atlanta Urban League, The Jayeees, Atlanta Parks & Recreation, The Board of Education, and the E.0eA., plus the Atlanta Braves. progran What is going to be done (In Summerhill where some efforts were made and in Mechanicsville where nothing was done) this fall for reereation in the community? Maybe "The Method" will have to be demonstrated again, and again, in order to get this problem solved. I have studied this A.C.E.P. project, ami I am in doubt of it before it even gets started. There will be over $4 million dollars spent in Atlanta alone. Here is the clincher, £.0.A. additional staff to be pc idle Time Tomi Yigg Re preg ng pg oye Fm meg hadhe. called qualified p e (Believe me, I am not retaliating because was denied a position that required certain qualifications that I could not — Even though I did qualify with equivelent). I could do a bet -- man for man than any so-called professional placed dn th to ay « This program will pay te the professionals and not peoples one cent. ‘This is another £.0.A. typleal way Ff | Page 2 of looking out for the so-called pros. I mve another question. When will £.0.A. plan a program that will that will put money in the poor citizens pockets? I may have to rely upon "The Method" again. I have met with the same E.eO.A. chosen few for so long until I am sick, For each purpose the same identical few are notified, and called to meet and decide for the commnity. Usually the decision is already made, they come to put the community approval to it. And if it's good or bad, it is never discussed satisfactorily. That is another reason I am not so eager to continue to deceive myself and my neighborhood, and my friends. I have aceomplished more with two unknown (Big Publicity) groups than the Neighborhood Center has in two yearse We shall continue together, or should I say, they shall continue. I organized a group of forgotten citizens »¢ and before they could have the first mesting, the E.0.A. and the Atlanta Jayeees had a prepared program for them. Let then have credit. I get the everlasting glory, and God's blessings. Unlike General Douglas MeArthur, I may not yatueny unless I see the possiblities Toni Moobay Edvard Moody eo: The Mayor The Vice Mayor ur.

Al I are City employees - paid by the City of Atlanta and subject to the City's personnel policies . These six persons on the permanent staff consist of two professional planners, two assistant planners, an administrative secretary and a Clerk Ill. The Clerk Ill is a Negro. He is but one of three appointments on the permanent staff made by the director since he was employed. Prior to my arrival the entire permanent staff had been selected and were on the job working . Although the positions Clerk 111 and Assistant Planner are subprofessional classifications, the potential for moving up to professional levels is wide open, depending on experience, education and abilities . Concerning salary ranges for these positions and any others in which you may be interested, we suggest that you address your questions to the City of Atlanta Personnel Department . Due to the natu re of the Atlanta CIP, it has been ne cessary for the Ci ty to e mploy te mpora ry college and high school students . Du ri ng the summe r a nd ear ly fal l of 1965 , the CIP staff assembled a task force of a pprox imately 70 people to unde rta ke a city- w ide inventory of parcels of land in At lanta and com pi le 38 un its of informatio n a bou t e ach parcel (e . g ., building conditions , owne rsh ip, land use , zoning classificatio n, e tc. ) .

In a ssembling the "task force 11 , we sought a combi nation of co llege students from th e local area and high school students enro lle d in the In-Sch ool Program of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., the local anti-poverty program. The Atlanta Personnel Department sent notices to al I colleges in the metropo litan area and the response by the college students for approximately' 40 jobs was overwhelming.

Recruitment, testing, screening and certification were handled through and supervised by the Atlanta Personne I Department. Selection of the 40 college students was the perogative of the CIP staff. The result was a bi-racial group of college students which constituted a large portion of the task force. Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., provided us with 25 to 30 high school students through their In-School Program - all of whom were Negroes. Although we are not recruiting at the present time, our record speaks for itself i_nsofar as recruiting Negroes is concerned~ Our experience in employing Negroes and whites in a team effort has wrought meaningful results. In response to your question concerning the irpolicy,working board 11 , apparently you have reference here to the Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta. As you know, this is a 17 member board, one of whom is a Negro, Mr. Q. V. Williamson of the Third Ward • • As mentionecl'eadier, each of our consultants are bound by a contractual clause relative to equal opportunity in employment. To our knowledge each has offered Negroes employment and are I iving up to th is contractual requirement. The City's contract with each consultant is not predicated on their submission of detailed payroll records or substantiated by racial composition relative to payments for work performed. Instead, each consultant bills the City based on the percentage of work he has completed in proportion to the total cost of the contract. Should you have evidence that the aforementioned equal opportunity in employment clause is being or has been violated by one of the City's consultants on work contracted for under this program, we would appreciate your forwarding it to us for investigation. ,,1. The time limit for completing all of the work items contained in the Atlanta Community Improvement Program is twenty-seven months. We are currently in the twentieth month of the program. As I mentioned in my letter to you of February 4, 1966, we have worked very closely for some time now with two citizens groups as the CIP has progressed. These are the Mayor's Citizens Advisory Committee on Urbari Renewal and a CIP sub-committee of that group. Both of these groups are bi-racial. For some time now, the City along with the citizens groups mentioned above have recognized the need for broader citizen involvement, thinking and reaction to CIP findings and recommendations. Generally speaking, such citizen involvement in other cities having undertaken similar programs has awaited the completion of the entire program. Early this fall, prior to the completion of the program, the City of Atlanta is planning to conduct, on a city-wide level , and then perhaps for local neighborhood associations, civic organizations, etc., a series of four seminars on the Atlanta Community Improvement Program.

During the summer and early fall of 1965, the CIP staff assembled a task force of approximately 70 people to undertake a city-wide inventory of parcels of land in Atlanta and compile 38 units of information about each parcel (e.g., building conditions, ownership, land use, zoning classification, etc.). This inventory was undertaken in conjunction with the installation of the City's electronic data processing equipment. In assembling the "task force't, we sought a combination of college students from the local area and high school students enrolled in the In-School Program of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., the local anti-poverty program.
