Johnson Executive Director SUBJECT: Land Acquisition by the Southern Railroad in Pittsburgh (S e e attached ma p) Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr4 Mr. Lester Persells Henry Bowden James Pilcher Horace War d Thomas Choyce ~ ~ Introduction On Novembe r 10, 1969, the Mode l Cities Program first became aware of p l ans of the Southern Railroad t o expand their exi sting storage yard in the Pittsburgh-Mechanicsville Area. This move affects only the Pittsbu rgh community where acqui s i t ion o f 15.2 acres of land is presently in progress; Southern is currently at tempt ing to negotiate t h e acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman Park bel onging to the City of Atlanta and part of the 15 . 2 acre site. Their reuse proposal calls for retention of 11.5 acres to be used for expansion of their exist ing yard facilities, while the remaining 3 .7 acres would be returned to the city for park use. The rail- road proposes to finance the cost of ' constructing the new park, including the replacement of a gymnasium, swimming pool, and tennis courts, all of which would be included in the initial 2.8 acre park acquisition. �- c.Thi s p l an r aises many i ssues and que s tio ns a ll of w~ich will hav e t o be answe red in the forthcoming we el:.s .

November 5 Southern's land ag ents met with the Atlanta Housing Autho rity to de -e rmine the type of relocation assi s tance a va ilable to occupants of homes wi thin the acqui s ition area . Because of the unique nature of this r e que s ta railroad acqu iring property under the power of eminent domain in a n urban renewal area with in t h e Model Cities Program-the Authority asked the regiona l offic e of the Renewa l Ass i stance.Admini strat i on (RRA ) for an opinion. RRA tentatively determined that .!2Q. financial assistance was available under existing regulations and contacted their home office in Washington, D. C. for further determina ion. Novembi:..r 6 Planning Department became aware of ~3outh ern' s plan for the Pittman Park acquisition only. At this time the Depart- ment a.rranged a meeting for Monday, Novem- ber 10, at the Parks Department Conference Room and reques ed Model Cities repre- �-5- sentatives to attend . November 10 Mode l Cities became aware of Southern ' s plans for the entire yard exp ansion at a meeting in the offic es of the Parks Departmen t. (See memo of November 11, 1969 - Exhibit No. 1). In addition to the · nformation in the Nov<~mber 11 memo, Southern 1 s agents expressed a strong desire to acquir e all the property in the shortest t ime pos s ible and also sugges t ed that Alderman Leftwich, Cha irman of the Parks Committ ee, gave te ntative approval to swap pa rk l and fo r railroad land. In a ddition, they u r ged a ll in attendance t o k eep t h eir plan as secret or qu i et as poss i ble. The reason for this insistance was, according to them, to prevent the apprec i ation of l and values within their acq u isition ar ea . Nove111ber 1 7 Legal agents of Southern Railroad, J. D. Jones and c. R. McQueen met with J.C. Johnson, J im Wright, and Lou Orosz, of the Model Cities Program in their offices. The meeting was arranged by Stan Martin of the Parks Department. This represented the first direct attempt of Southern to involve the Model Cities Program in its plans. D£scussion initially centered about the �- 6- Pittrnan Park sit uat ion but expanded to t he r e loc a tion and invo l vement of Pit tsb u rgh resi de n ts . Mr. J·o n es reiterat e d the Railroad ' s p o sit i on as expresse d on e week ear l ier on Novembe r 10; the a cqui s ition of l a nd, includin g a po rtion of Pitt man Park , mus t be comp le t ed as soon as p o ss ibl e ; t h e relocation o f p eople was not a ra ilroad p r oble m; t he r a ilroad would pay t h e fa i r marke t v a l ue f o r a ll property acqu ired ; a nd that any att empts to i nvc}.u e residents and other public a gencieswas urdesira.b l e b e cause it wo u l d slow down the acquis i t ion p roc e s s . The Rai l r o ad c l early wanted t h e property acquired and faciliti es construct ed without d J.ay. Mode l Cities ma int ained an opposi t e position: resident invo lvement in all phases of commun i ty development js the c ore of the Mode l Cities Program and must be maintained. The form u lation of p l ans affecting residents of the Model Cities Area , without the ir involvement , is contrary to guidelines set up by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD). Suggestions we re also made that ,\1ould get the Railroad involved in formula- ting and financing a portion of the cost of �-7- relocating people from the propos e d acquis ition area into new housing within the Model Cit i es Area. I t was additionally recommended that this would be an excellent opportunity for Southern to become involved in the develop ment of the Pittsburgh com.,.'llunity by devising ways t h nt would assist in impeding the further det erioration of res idential structures in the i1runediate vicinity of the railroad. (Since the railroad is responsible for this deteri- oration b y creating- an undesirable residential neighbo r hood to live i n, they should bea r the respons ibj. lity, rather than the public at l arge , for prev enting this deter iorat ion.) Mr. Jones said he would conv ey this portion to official s of the rai l road. November 17 Mr. J.C . Johnson presented Southern ' s plan to the Mode l Cit i es Board of Directors . minutes - Exhibit No. 2). (S ee The Board denounce d the plans and attitude of the railroad, particu larly the secretive manner by which it planned and execu ·ed its prograrn, and additionally, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff. Finally the Board passed a resolution urging the Model Cities Executive Board to request the Southern Railroad to cease buying �-8properties tmtil. thei·. actual intentions are known . November 18 Model Cities Executive Board met and listened to a presentation o f Southern ' s plan by Jim Wright. Exhibit No. 3). (See newspape r article - They resolved to ask Sout hern to delay its program until the full impact of their plan on Pittsburgh and the Mode l Cities Program Plan was known. Novenber 19 A tentative legal o p inion regarding the utilization of eminent dorna.in in making the Pittman J. ark a cquisit i on was rece ived b y c. Johnson from the At lanta Department o f Law . (S ee l e tter of No!Jerober 17, 1969 - Exhibit No. 4) . The opinion said in effect, -hat the City's ownership and u se of Pit t- ma.n Park was a superior governmental use which could not be acquired by the rail road through its eminent domain power. Issues 1. Resident Involvement. Lack of any attempt to solicit the involve- ment of residents i n the planning phase of th.is development. This represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions of the Model Cities Program as e:apressed by congress, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta. If this is allo-wed to continue it will result in destruction of th~ trust residents now have for the program as a means for improving �-9the ir own n 8 ighborhood s. The re can be n.o . e x ceptions f o r e x - cluding resident involvement. 2. Acqui s ition of a Portion of Pi ttman Pa rk . The Model Citie s Plan identifies the Pa ~ t a s presently b e i ng below sta ndards s e t up b y the .P rogram and by the City o f Atlant a in it s Parks and Re cre ation Plan. This deficiency is in t e rms of acre s , and in f a cilities by which people can e n j oy t h e p a rk such a s b a s eb a ll diamonds , rec reation c e nt er, e t c . '11 he Pl an ~l s o anticipat e d acquiring the entire Fo y Brick Company i n later stages o f t he Program; i-he u s e, o f course , wo uld have b een a p ark additi n. The reason f o r not p r opo s ing the acqu i s i t ion of a djacen t resident i a l p r operty f o r even tua l p ark u s e was bec a u s e the P itt s bu rgh c ommuni ty , i n s ~vera l meet i ngs , was again s t s uch a move. The re l at i ve l y good struct u ral conditions of these homes and the preservation of soc i a l ties between neighbo rs was more importr.tnt to tha se people. Th e railroad, on the o the r hand , h as not considered these facts. After acquisition, which i ncludes 30 dwel l ing units to be removed expressly for park expansion and the Foy Brick Company, park acreage will increas e about one acre. This i s one more acre than the park now c<..-ir1tains, meaning that it will continue to be s ubstandard. But more important, it means that a ny plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing its 21.c.r:eage i:n the future will mean that additional homes will have to be acquired. �-10- Consequently, the Railroad has everything to gain and the Pittsburgh community has everyth i ng to los e-- its people, its homes , a nd the anticipation of enj oying a larger park in t h e future. 3. Disreqard for the Future Development o f Pittsburgh . The Southern Railroad has compl ete ly disreg a rde d existing plans for Pittsburgh. This include s the City's 198 3 Land Us e Plan , the City ' s Parks ad Recreation Plan, and Model Cities Program Plan:- for the area. ·rhe se p lans represent a s ub- stantial number of hours on the part of the agencies involved and the residents affected. The c ost of pre paring these docume nts which refl.,.ct s , in thi s case , the desires and aspirations of Model Citi e s resident s is not a light con sid e r at ' on. It cannot be disregarded. The Railroad claims it s acquisit ion of heroes to provide itself with more ya r d facilities is jus tified for two reasons. Firs t, that the space is needed to accommodate the output of General Motors; the ~ntention is t h at more business (i f this is actually t h e case) will bene fit the city a s a whole in t h e long run. Thi s kind of think 'ng-egotistica l, one-sided, narrow minded , and with the dollar i n mind as the ul timate ob j ect ive -is respon sibl e for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout he country« rt is one of the reasons why Congress has found the need for a M.oc1eJ Cities Program. And natura,J.ly it is completely opposite t he short run, coordinated, and comprehensive approach of this Program �-LL - towards improving the life of people livin9 in the area and part icipating in t he Prog rarn. I think that this reason ing is i nvaldd within the boundaries of thi s Program. The short nm time period is unquestionably mor e critica l to Pitt sbu r gh residents than it i s to the ques tionable long run needs of the City , t he Southe rn Rail r oad, and General Motors-in this in stance. On the ~econd reason , Southern believes it is doing a servic e to t h e City b y removing substandard structures in the path of i ts proposed yard facilitie s . If the structures are s ub - stand ard to the degree Southe r n claims , (and this is que s t ionable} , then it is because of their nearness to the railroad. to live near a railroad yard? Who wants The people who can afford to live on this resident.' al ly margina.l land h ave extreme diff iculty in maintaining their homes because o f their low income and the high cost of materials and labor u sed in home repairs. (Because the homes are marginal doesn't mean the people are marginal or undesirable). It can be predicted with reasonable certainty that once the yar.d is constructed as presently planned , the adjacent buildings will deteriorate over the years. In a similar manner to the pres e nt situation, Southern is laying the groundvo rk for another claim when the need for additional yard facilities arises, that they are doing a service to the City by removing them. �-1 2- 4. Res ident Relocation. 'l'he Mod e l Ci t i e s Pr.ogr aJTI h a s cont i nually maint aine d t hat residen ts will be given t h e oppor tunity t o remain in t he ir ne i ghborhood i n t h e e vent t hey had to be re located . With oppo r t un i ty th ere must be cho i c e. '1,h e lac k o f s tanda r d dwe l ling unit s within the area h as p l a ced this b u rden of p r ov i d ing choice on the provi s ion o f tempo rc r y ho using un i t s . Occupa nc y o f tempo rary un its wo u ld b e unt i l such t i.me as pe r manent s truc t ure s were built . 'I'his me thod rep r esents t h e fou ndat ion of the Mode l ~i t i es Relocation Plan and without it the r e wil l be no pub lic relocation of fami li es to provide lund for any faci l ity . Furthermore , fi nan c ial assistance from the Mode l Cities Program and the Neighbor:hooq. Development Pr ogram (NDP) wil l make t h e d ' fficulties of moving easier for all peo ple wh o must be re located. This includes tenants and h omeowners. The former receive moving expenses and t h e l atter rece i ve moving expen ses and up to $5,0 00 in diff erential pa.yments: t h ey are paid the d ifference in co st ($5,000 maximum ) from the price received for \..he i r acquired property and the cost of buying a similar sized home~ Th e approximately 100 families to be relocated by Southern's acquisitior will receive none of this assistance. The use of eminent domain, or the threat of it, will not benefit t he se relocatees. They will not be eligible for t emporary housing because none is available at this time. And they will not receive moving expenses and differential payments since they are not pa.rt of the NDP or part of an acquisition by a public �-1 3- agency work i ng wi th the Mode l Cities Program . Again , the people do not benef i.t a nd actua.l.ly b e come the recipients o f inequitable t r eatme nt as a r esult o f Southern 's non -part i c ipatio n in the Model Cities Program. 5. Ac quiring Pi ttman Park by t he P9wer of Emine n t Domain . Can Southern Railroa d-a p ublic uti li ty- exerc ise i ts delegated power o f emin ent domain in the acqu islt i on o f 2 .8 a c res of Pi ttman· P.ark? 'rhe qu e stion i s importa nt b ecau se i ts answer may determine t h e s uccess or fai l u r e of Southern ' s venture. If the answer is "yes", the n there is probably not hing construc t ive that Pittsburgh residents can do to preven t the plans 1 s complet i on. If "no 11 , then i t !nay be poss ible t.o negotiate with the railroad on the i ssues al r eady rai sed. A te1tat ive finding from t11e City Atto r ney ' s o ffice indicates the railroad does n o t have the power in this case. No. 4) • (See Exhibit �-14- conclusions and Recommendations It is clearl y evident tha t the~ souther n Railroad is det ermined to fu l fill its p l a 1s i n the most expedien t manner. 'J~he secrecy a t which they a cquired property and the conc eal ment of information regarding their intentions unti l the last possible mome n t leaves considerable doubt i n my mind as to what publ i c they represent . It is obviously not t h e 45,00 0 res i dents of Model Cities or the 8,000 in Pittsburgh. As with repres e ntation, the quest i on of benefic i aries is raised. Who b en e fit s dire ctly from expansion of t h e existing facilities? Obviously the management and stock holders of Southern Railroad a nd Gener a l Motors enjoy the fru i ts of this particul a r v enture. The Pittsburgh community suffers for this plan will be to the i r detrime nt ~ Thi s negative e f fect is the v e ry sought of situation Congress had in mind when it e nacted Model Cit ies l e gislation in 1966. The objec tive of which was to s ubst antia lly impr ove t h e e nvi r onment i n slum an d b l i ghted areas o f cities . Here we h av e a goo d example of h ow !l2.:!:. t o i mprove the e nvironment; the placement o f a rai l r oad yard in a res identia l neighbo r hood is une quivocally c ontrary to e very known principle o f envir onme nt a l healt h and s afe ty, and social s tabil ity. Southern's arguments of bus ine ss need a nd c i ty service do not j ustify the predictabl e destruct i on o f a nei ghborh oode Do t h ese reasons take priority over the - ob j ectives of the Model ·cities Program? Do they justify Sou t h ern's disregard for involving residents and public agencies who di l igent ly worked to establish plans �-15f o r creating a bet ter p l a ce to live in ? Do th0y justi fy s i de st epping a h o st o f soc ial, econom i c , · .nd phys i ca l problems- and creat i ng mor e in the pro cess - - t hat thi · ':ro gra..m is committe d t o sol ving·? Maybe these qu est i ons point to the real reas o n f o r So u thern' s sec retive approac h ! But t h e plans are now p ub l ic a nd we find ourse lve s with a s e t o f f a ct s-- an d a chal l e ng e : Revers ing the h i s toric a l pro cess . the ra 'l:r.oad aware o f the problems it i s c re ating, MakG and a sk them to j oin u s in find i ng a n a cc e p table solution, f or t h em and f o r the r esident s of Pittsburgh. Th is appr o ach mus t b e t hrough nego t i atio n . which i s res i dent invo l v eme nt. Th e p r erequi site o f The r a ng e to n e got i ating is between no expansion of yard facilities , to expansion of the facilities with an i mprovement to t h e s urrounding area. These improvements would consist of h.~gh qua l ity b uffering between the yards and .residential property; a park that is up to city standards in terms of Jand and facilities; an underpass at McDaniel Street; an adequate relocation program for the people to be displaced including the opportunity to remain in this area; and an adequately designed street system to serve the unusual pattern that would result if the yard were built. This endeavor would have to be highly coordinated and thoroughly managed. Resident involvement must be solicited and channeled into the direction that would insure maximum impact on negotiations. �-16- Public re lations must be mobiliz e d and p repa r e d for the c on fronta tions that will occur. An image of a united front will have t o be maintained in orde r t o inc rease the chance s o f receiving the most b e n e fit s from negot iation. In short, t hi s approa ch must be thoroughly planned and managed. As a firs t step, I wou l d re comrnend a h alt to the railroad's acqu is ition program. 'rhis may b e vo lunt ary or be an i nj unct i on which sho ld b e initia.ted 1Jy a r es i dent c ommittee-poss ibly one s e t· up b., cope with the r a ilr o ad problem-an adhoc group. Simultaneously, suppo r t from other public agencies mus t be sol i cited. The Parks Department and Planning Department, a n d perhaps othersr must agree in p r i nciple at l east , to pre vent the railroad from inva lidating t h eir p l ans for the area. (After al l, that 's what they main- ~ain when we present p l ans diffe ent from theirs) . In summary, we must {1) detenuine what position and action the Program will take; ( 2) appo i nt a coordinator; approva l for intervention; and fin ally, ( 3) solicit resident (4 ) insure support from appropriate public agencies. . �T o: Colli er Gladin, George_Aldridge, Pierce Mahony, Don Swea t · (· From: Subj ect : D.'\ T E Eri c , Bob c_;" 1 /r ~ -/ ,6/4~ Southern Railway' s Planned Ex pans ion of Storage Faciliti:?s in the Pittsburgh Neighborhood DISPOSITI O N Di s tribu te [ .J Hold L..J FIi o [J Info. 011/ y 0 Nove mber 18, I969 On Tuesday, N ovembe r 4 , St·an Martin of the Porks & Recreation Department informed Eric that Southern Roi lway was plonning to acquire a portion of Pittman· Park in_ord~r to expand their storage faciliti es which ore now located ju st to the e ost of Mc Dan ie l S1·reet·.

The lend that Southern Roi lwoy ..wishes to give the Parks Department in rel·urn fo r wha!· they purchase includes a porl'ion of the brick yard eas t of t-he presen t Park and the block bounded by De levon Street, Fortress Avenue, Fletcher Street and West Avenue. ih is bl"'ock c;onl·ains 30 structures (residentiol). The greotest concern of the Porks and Recreation Department is that the po.rk proposed by Southern Railway would be long ond fairly narrow. The bloc k with 30 structures is quii"e iso lated from the majority of Pittsbu rgh resid ents and th erefore, the resulting pork would not well serve the residents. These problems were discussed and t-h en the Recreation Staff members le ft. Mr. Mc Queen, represent in g the Roi Iway, then presented Southern Roi lway•s entire plan to th e remai_ning membe rs. The tota l plan extends from /vkDaniel Stree t on the west to Fortre ss Stree t on th e easl'. Fifty structure s would be acquired west of th e park cmd thirty structures would be acquired for the new Pittman Park, for a totol of 80 structures (oll resident ial). Approximate ly ten stru ctures have a lready been acquired west of th e park qn sca ttered sites. Lou Orosz told Mr. McQ ueen what Model Cities is trying to accomp li sh and stressed th e importonce of c itizen involvem e nt. Mr . McQueen stated that Sou thern Railwoy needs thi s storage yard immediately. They do not wi sh to ge t involved with court sui ts nor are they fond of mee ting w ith the cil'izens.

The formulation of p l ans affecting residents of the Model Cities Area, without thei r involvemen t , iS contrary to guidelines set up by th~ Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD). Suggestions were also made that would get the Rai l road involved in formula- tin~ and financing a portion of the cost of �-7re loca ting people from the propos ed acquisition area i nto new hous i ng within the Model Cities Area . It was additional y recommended that this would be an excellent opportunity for Southern to b ecome involved in the developme nt. of t h e Pittsburgh community by devi sing waya t h at wou l d assis t in impeding the further deterioration of residential s tructures in the immediate vicinity of the railroa d. (Since the railroad is responsible for this d eterioration b y creating an undesirable residential n eighbo r hood to live i n, they should bear the r e sponsibility, rath er than the public a t l a rge , for preventing t his de t erioration. ) Mr. Jones said he would convey this portion to officia l s of t h e railroad. November 17 Mr. J. c. Johnson presented Southern ' s p l an to the Model Cities Board of Directors . (See minutes - Exhib it No. 2). The Board denounce d the plans and attitude of the rail road , particularly the secretive manner by which it planned and executed its program, and addit ional ly, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff. Finally the Board passed a resolution urging the Model Cities Executive Board to request the Southern Railroad to cease buying �-8-· prope rties until their actun l int e ntions a r e known. Novembl§r 18 Model Cit ies Exe cutive Board met and lis t ened to a presentation of Southern's plan by Jim Wright. Exhibit No. 3).

The opin i on said i n effec t, that the Ci ty ' .:, ownership and u se of Pit t man Pa rk was a superior governmental use which could not be acqu ired by the railroad t h rougl. its eminent domain power . Issues 1. Resident Involvement. Lack of a ny a.tt~mpt to solicit the involve- ment of residents in t he planning phase of this developm -·nt. This represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions of the Model Cities P .ogra-m as e:itpres-:::;ed by Congress, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta. If this is allev;ed to continue it will result in de s truct ion of the trust residents now have for the progr9-m as a means for improving �-9- the ir own neighborhoods . 'I'he re can b e no excepti ons fo r ex- c luding re ide nt involvement . 2. Acquis ition of a Portion of P,.t.tman Park. The Mode l Cities Plan identifies the Park as presently be ing below standards set up b y the Prog r am and by the City o f At lanta in it s Parks and Recreation Plan. This de ficie ncy is i n terms of acres, and in fac ilities by which people can en j y the park such a s basebal l diamonds , r e c r eation center, etc. '11 h e Plan a l so anticipate d acquiring th e entire Foy Brick Company in later stages o f the Program: t he use, of cou r se , would have b een a pa.rk a ddition. The r eas on for not propos ing ·1-he acquisition of a djace nt resident i a l property fo r eventua l p ark use was bec a us e the Pittsbur gh c ommunity , i n seve r a l meet i ngs , was again s t s uch a move . The re l at i ve l y goo d structu ral condi tions of these homes a n d t h e p r eservation o f s ocia l ties between n eighbo rs was more i mpo rtant t o th-3se people. Th e rai l road , on t h e other hand , has not con sidered these f acts. After acquisition, wh i ch includes 30 dwe ll i n g un i ts to be removed expressly for park expans i on a nd the Foy Brick Company, park acreage will increase about one acre. Th~s is one more acre t.han the ark now contains, meaning that it will continue to b e substandard. But more important, it means that any plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing its acreage in the future will m0an that additional homes will have to be acquired. �-10 conseque ntly, t h e Railroad has e very thing t o g a in and the Pitts burgh communit y h as ,z verything to los e - its p e opl e , it s homes, and the anticipa ion of enjoying a l a r g er p ark in t h e f ut ure . 3~ Oi sreqa r d f or the Future Developme n t of Pittsburg}~.

Thi s kind of think.'ng-egotistical, one-sided, narrow minded , a nd with the doll ar i n mind as the ult imate objective-is responsible for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout the countryft It is one of the reasons why Congress has found the n eed for a Model Cities Program.

Acquiring Pittman Park b y the Power of Eminent Domain. Can I Southern Railroad-a public utility-exercise its delegated power c:>f eminent domain in the acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman ~ l?.ark? The question is important because its answer may detennine the ' s uccess or failure of Southern's venture. If the answer is ; "yes", then there is probably nothing constructive that Pittsburgh residents can do to pre vent the plans's completion. I If "no", .I t i en it m~y be possible to negotiate with the railroad ori the I i r ues a~ready rais e d-. 11.. \ tentative finding from the City Attorney's office indicates t ~ e railroad does not have the power in this case, (See Exhibit 'i Nr- ·4), •-,J I·' I ,.·· I .i . ' �-14.- Conclusions and Re commenda tion s It is clearly evident tha t the Southern Railroad is determined to fulfill its plans in the most expedient manner. The secrecy at whic h they acquired property and the concealment o f information regarding their intent ions until the last possible moment leaves c onsiderable doubt i n my mi1d a s to what public they rep resent. It is obviously not the 45,000 residents of Model Cities or the s.ooo in Pittsburgh . As with repre s e ntation, t h e ques tion of beneficiari e s is raised. Who benE:fits directly from expans ion of the existing facilities? Obvious ly the manag ement and stockholders of Southern Railroad and Gen eral Mo t ors enj oy the fru its o f thi s par ticul a r v enture . 'l'he Pitts b urgh c ommunity s u f f e rs for t hi s plan will b e to the ir d etri ment. This negative e ffe ct · s t h e ver'y s ought of s i t ua t i on Congre s s had in mind when i t e n act e d Mo de l Cit ie s l egis lation in 1966. The obj ect i ve of which was to sub st antially i mprove t h e environme n t i n s l um and blighted areas o f cities. Here we h Rv e a good exampl e o f h ow no~ to improve t h e environment ; t h e placement of a rai l r oad yard in a residential n eighborhood is unequivocally con trary to every known principle of envi ronmental h eal t h a nd safety; and social stability. Southern' s argu.i.-uents o f bus i ness need and city service do not justify the predict.able destruct i on of a neigr..borhood. Do these reasons take priority over the objectives of the Model Cities Program? Do they justify Southern's disregard for involving residents and public agencies who di}igent l y worked to establish plans �-15for creating a bette r place to live in? Do they justify side steppi ng a host of socia ., economic, a nd physical problems-- and creating more in the process-that this Program is committed to solving ? Maybe these questions p o int to the r al reason for Southern's secretive approach ! But th e plans are no..-1 pu.'blic and we f i nd ourselves with a set of fact s -and a challenge: ·Reve rsing the hi s torical process . the ra ' lroad aware of the prob l ems it is creating, Ivi.ake and ask them to j oin us in findi ng an acceptable s olution, for them a n d for the resident s of Pitts burgh. Thi s appr o a ch must be through negotiation. which is resident involvement. '11 h e 'I'he: prere quisit e of rang e to neg o iating is between no e x pansio n of yard f a cilitie s , to e x pans i o n of the fa c i l iti es with a n impro v e me nt to the surroun d ing area.

Only November 18, 1969 On Tuesd_(;!y,..,~November 4, Stan Martin of the Parks & Recreation Department informed Eric that Southern Railway was planning to acquire a portion of Pittman Park in_order to expand their storage facilities which are now located just to the east of McDaniel Srreet. -I Previous to this date, representatives of Southern Railway met with Mr. Charles Leftwich to explain their expansion plans. They told Mr. Leftwich that they wanted to acquire approximately 4.2 acres of l·he northern section of Pittman Pc1rk for the storage of railroad cars. In return they will purchase approximately 4.8 acres to the southeast of t·he park and give it to the Parks Department and build new facilities for any facilities which -they acquire. In addition to the park, Southern Railwo)' also plans to exptmd southwesterly into the Pittsburgh Neighborhood and will acquire 50 structures between McDaniel Street and Pittman Park. I On Wednesday, November 5, the day after Ston Martin informed Eric, Reinold Dersch of the Parks Departh1ent brought a map of the park and showed Eric and Bob Southern Railway's plans with regard to the park (but not Southern's complete plons). At this tim_e , Eric te!ephoned Jim Wright to inform him of what the Planning Department had learned. Eric requested that a meeting be held as soon as possible with representatives of Southern Railway, Model Cities, Parks and Recreation Department, Housing Authority and the Planning Deportment. This meeting was set by the Parks Deportment for the fol lowing Monday. On Mondo1 , November 10, a tneeting was held in the confercr,ce room of ~1e City Hal I Annex to discuss Southern Railway's plans.

A Some of th feder 1 aid coordinator in the pa t have worked with NLC nd/or USCM on various committee and h ve had ome voic in the formul tion of the national policy of the two groups . However. with the tremendou · growth in th numb r nd xp rti e of the coordin tore, it ie obviou that they mu t be given bigge-r rol~ a roup. I upport your p:ropoe 1.

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Dan: In view of our inability to influence the format of the meeting of Intergovernmental or Federal Aid Coordinators set for November 30 in San Diego and the prospect of a talk session November 13 in Washington, I feel that it is urgent that a proposal be formulated that can be discussed with the NLC/USCM staff on November 13 and presented for discussion and adoption November 30. I have attached a proposal. I would like to call you in a f ew days to hear your reaction or discuss any alternate package you may have already formulated. I feel some frustration that our initial efforts have apparently become bogged down within the NLC/USCM staff, but I also conclude that the potential of a mechanism f or us to speak as one voice to the FEDS, or NLC/USCM, may be worthy of some additional effort. Larry R. Coons Assistant to the Ci ty Administrator LRC :ma Encl. �Inglewood Proposal It seems to me that the question to be resolved is whether or not the NLC/USCM is willing to give staff support to a section or division of Intergovernmental Coordinators in the field of federal aid for the purpose of facilitating exchange· of information on a continuing basis and organizing workshops to assist interested persons to become informed about new programs and changes in existing programs. If such is true, it is proposed that the initial format of such a grouping within the joint NLC/USCM program would be an open roster with efforts made to identify the individual who is most directly concerned for the liaison with federal officials in the submission and review of applications. In addition to the dissemination of information among these people, the purpose of such workshops and meetings will be to help make existing or new programs more workable at the level of implementation. I n order to provide continuity and f acili t a t e r esponse on urgent issue s, an Intergovernmental Coordinators committee would be formed to provide a repre sentative and an alternate f rom ea ch of the f ederal regions . The de l egat e and alt e rna t e would be sel e cte d at a duly called meeting or election of the representatives on the NLC / USCM r oster of fe deral aid coordinato r s from each region or, i f such repres entati ves are not so named, to be appointed f r om the region by the committee which is so formed. A chairman would be elected by the committee to serve as spokesman �and convener of all meetings. The committee would advise the staff on workshop attendance and request interim meetings with pertinent federal and other representatives to cover topics of concern. The function of forming such a grouping is not to establish a new professional organization, but to identify a mechanism by which intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators can identify within the framework of the NLC/USCM. Such mechanism is also hoped to provide a vehicle for intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators to speak with a semblance of unity in reacting to staff proposals and making recommendations on federal programs. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

This move affects only the Pittsbu rgh community where acqui s i t ion o f 15.2 acres of land is presently in progress; Southern is currently at tempt ing to negotiate t h e acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman Park bel onging to the City of Atlanta and part of the 15 . 2 acre site. Their reuse proposal calls for retention of 11.5 acres to be used for expansion of their exist ing yard facilities, while the remaining 3 .7 acres would be returned to the city for park use.

November 5 Southern's land ag ents met with the Atlanta Housing Autho rity to de -e rmine the type of relocation assi s tance a va ilable to occupants of homes wi thin the acqui s ition area . Because of the unique nature of this r e que s ta railroad acqu iring property under the power of eminent domain in a n urban renewal area with in t h e Model Cities Program-the Authority asked the regiona l offic e of the Renewa l Ass i stance.Admini strat i on (RRA ) for an opinion. RRA tentatively determined that .!2Q. financial assistance was available under existing regulations and contacted their home office in Washington, D. C. for further determina ion. Novembi:..r 6 Planning Department became aware of ~3outh ern' s plan for the Pittman Park acquisition only. At this time the Depart- ment a.rranged a meeting for Monday, Novem- ber 10, at the Parks Department Conference Room and reques ed Model Cities repre- �-5- sentatives to attend . November 10 Mode l Cities became aware of Southern ' s plans for the entire yard exp ansion at a meeting in the offic es of the Parks Departmen t. (See memo of November 11, 1969 - Exhibit No. 1). In addition to the · nformation in the Nov<~mber 11 memo, Southern 1 s agents expressed a strong desire to acquir e all the property in the shortest t ime pos s ible and also sugges t ed that Alderman Leftwich, Cha irman of the Parks Committ ee, gave te ntative approval to swap pa rk l and fo r railroad land. In a ddition, they u r ged a ll in attendance t o k eep t h eir plan as secret or qu i et as poss i ble. The reason for this insistance was, according to them, to prevent the apprec i ation of l and values within their acq u isition ar ea . Nove111ber 1 7 Legal agents of Southern Railroad, J. D. Jones and c. R. McQueen met with J.C. Johnson, J im Wright, and Lou Orosz, of the Model Cities Program in their offices. The meeting was arranged by Stan Martin of the Parks Department. This represented the first direct attempt of Southern to involve the Model Cities Program in its plans. D£scussion initially centered about the �- 6- Pittrnan Park sit uat ion but expanded to t he r e loc a tion and invo l vement of Pit tsb u rgh resi de n ts . Mr. J·o n es reiterat e d the Railroad ' s p o sit i on as expresse d on e week ear l ier on Novembe r 10; the a cqui s ition of l a nd, includin g a po rtion of Pitt man Park , mus t be comp le t ed as soon as p o ss ibl e ; t h e relocation o f p eople was not a ra ilroad p r oble m; t he r a ilroad would pay t h e fa i r marke t v a l ue f o r a ll property acqu ired ; a nd that any att empts to i nvc}.u e residents and other public a gencieswas urdesira.b l e b e cause it wo u l d slow down the acquis i t ion p roc e s s . The Rai l r o ad c l early wanted t h e property acquired and faciliti es construct ed without d J.ay. Mode l Cities ma int ained an opposi t e position: resident invo lvement in all phases of commun i ty development js the c ore of the Mode l Cities Program and must be maintained. The form u lation of p l ans affecting residents of the Model Cities Area , without the ir involvement , is contrary to guidelines set up by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD). Suggestions we re also made that ,\1ould get the Railroad involved in formula- ting and financing a portion of the cost of �-7- relocating people from the propos e d acquis ition area into new housing within the Model Cit i es Area. I t was additionally recommended that this would be an excellent opportunity for Southern to become involved in the develop ment of the Pittsburgh com.,.'llunity by devising ways t h nt would assist in impeding the further det erioration of res idential structures in the i1runediate vicinity of the railroad. (Since the railroad is responsible for this deteri- oration b y creating- an undesirable residential neighbo r hood to live i n, they should bea r the respons ibj. lity, rather than the public at l arge , for prev enting this deter iorat ion.) Mr. Jones said he would conv ey this portion to official s of the rai l road. November 17 Mr. J.C . Johnson presented Southern ' s plan to the Mode l Cit i es Board of Directors . minutes - Exhibit No. 2). (S ee The Board denounce d the plans and attitude of the railroad, particu larly the secretive manner by which it planned and execu ·ed its prograrn, and additionally, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff. Finally the Board passed a resolution urging the Model Cities Executive Board to request the Southern Railroad to cease buying �-8properties tmtil. thei·. actual intentions are known . November 18 Model Cities Executive Board met and listened to a presentation o f Southern ' s plan by Jim Wright. Exhibit No. 3). (See newspape r article - They resolved to ask Sout hern to delay its program until the full impact of their plan on Pittsburgh and the Mode l Cities Program Plan was known. Novenber 19 A tentative legal o p inion regarding the utilization of eminent dorna.in in making the Pittman J. ark a cquisit i on was rece ived b y c. Johnson from the At lanta Department o f Law . (S ee l e tter of No!Jerober 17, 1969 - Exhibit No. 4) . The opinion said in effect, -hat the City's ownership and u se of Pit t- ma.n Park was a superior governmental use which could not be acquired by the rail road through its eminent domain power. Issues 1. Resident Involvement. Lack of any attempt to solicit the involve- ment of residents i n the planning phase of th.is development. This represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions of the Model Cities Program as e:apressed by congress, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta. If this is allo-wed to continue it will result in destruction of th~ trust residents now have for the program as a means for improving �-9the ir own n 8 ighborhood s. The re can be n.o . e x ceptions f o r e x - cluding resident involvement. 2. Acqui s ition of a Portion of Pi ttman Pa rk . The Model Citie s Plan identifies the Pa ~ t a s presently b e i ng below sta ndards s e t up b y the .P rogram and by the City o f Atlant a in it s Parks and Re cre ation Plan. This deficiency is in t e rms of acre s , and in f a cilities by which people can e n j oy t h e p a rk such a s b a s eb a ll diamonds , rec reation c e nt er, e t c . '11 he Pl an ~l s o anticipat e d acquiring the entire Fo y Brick Company i n later stages o f t he Program; i-he u s e, o f course , wo uld have b een a p ark additi n. The reason f o r not p r opo s ing the acqu i s i t ion of a djacen t resident i a l p r operty f o r even tua l p ark u s e was bec a u s e the P itt s bu rgh c ommuni ty , i n s ~vera l meet i ngs , was again s t s uch a move. The re l at i ve l y good struct u ral conditions of these homes and the preservation of soc i a l ties between neighbo rs was more importr.tnt to tha se people. Th e railroad, on the o the r hand , h as not considered these facts. After acquisition, which i ncludes 30 dwel l ing units to be removed expressly for park expansion and the Foy Brick Company, park acreage will increas e about one acre. This i s one more acre than the park now c<..-ir1tains, meaning that it will continue to be s ubstandard. But more important, it means that a ny plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing its 21.c.r:eage i:n the future will mean that additional homes will have to be acquired. �-10- Consequently, the Railroad has everything to gain and the Pittsburgh community has everyth i ng to los e-- its people, its homes , a nd the anticipation of enj oying a larger park in t h e future. 3. Disreqard for the Future Development o f Pittsburgh . The Southern Railroad has compl ete ly disreg a rde d existing plans for Pittsburgh. This include s the City's 198 3 Land Us e Plan , the City ' s Parks ad Recreation Plan, and Model Cities Program Plan:- for the area. ·rhe se p lans represent a s ub- stantial number of hours on the part of the agencies involved and the residents affected. The c ost of pre paring these docume nts which refl.,.ct s , in thi s case , the desires and aspirations of Model Citi e s resident s is not a light con sid e r at ' on. It cannot be disregarded. The Railroad claims it s acquisit ion of heroes to provide itself with more ya r d facilities is jus tified for two reasons. Firs t, that the space is needed to accommodate the output of General Motors; the ~ntention is t h at more business (i f this is actually t h e case) will bene fit the city a s a whole in t h e long run. Thi s kind of think 'ng-egotistica l, one-sided, narrow minded , and with the dollar i n mind as the ul timate ob j ect ive -is respon sibl e for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout he country« rt is one of the reasons why Congress has found the need for a M.oc1eJ Cities Program. And natura,J.ly it is completely opposite t he short run, coordinated, and comprehensive approach of this Program �-LL - towards improving the life of people livin9 in the area and part icipating in t he Prog rarn. I think that this reason ing is i nvaldd within the boundaries of thi s Program. The short nm time period is unquestionably mor e critica l to Pitt sbu r gh residents than it i s to the ques tionable long run needs of the City , t he Southe rn Rail r oad, and General Motors-in this in stance. On the ~econd reason , Southern believes it is doing a servic e to t h e City b y removing substandard structures in the path of i ts proposed yard facilitie s . If the structures are s ub - stand ard to the degree Southe r n claims , (and this is que s t ionable} , then it is because of their nearness to the railroad. to live near a railroad yard? Who wants The people who can afford to live on this resident.' al ly margina.l land h ave extreme diff iculty in maintaining their homes because o f their low income and the high cost of materials and labor u sed in home repairs. (Because the homes are marginal doesn't mean the people are marginal or undesirable). It can be predicted with reasonable certainty that once the yar.d is constructed as presently planned , the adjacent buildings will deteriorate over the years. In a similar manner to the pres e nt situation, Southern is laying the groundvo rk for another claim when the need for additional yard facilities arises, that they are doing a service to the City by removing them. �-1 2- 4. Res ident Relocation. 'l'he Mod e l Ci t i e s Pr.ogr aJTI h a s cont i nually maint aine d t hat residen ts will be given t h e oppor tunity t o remain in t he ir ne i ghborhood i n t h e e vent t hey had to be re located .

Furthermore , fi nan c ial assistance from the Mode l Cities Program and the Neighbor:hooq. Development Pr ogram (NDP) wil l make t h e d ' fficulties of moving easier for all peo ple wh o must be re located. This includes tenants and h omeowners. The former receive moving expenses and t h e l atter rece i ve moving expen ses and up to $5,0 00 in diff erential pa.yments: t h ey are paid the d ifference in co st ($5,000 maximum ) from the price received for \..he i r acquired property and the cost of buying a similar sized home~ Th e approximately 100 families to be relocated by Southern's acquisitior will receive none of this assistance. The use of eminent domain, or the threat of it, will not benefit t he se relocatees. They will not be eligible for t emporary housing because none is available at this time. And they will not receive moving expenses and differential payments since they are not pa.rt of the NDP or part of an acquisition by a public �-1 3- agency work i ng wi th the Mode l Cities Program . Again , the people do not benef i.t a nd actua.l.ly b e come the recipients o f inequitable t r eatme nt as a r esult o f Southern 's non -part i c ipatio n in the Model Cities Program. 5. Ac quiring Pi ttman Park by t he P9wer of Emine n t Domain . Can Southern Railroa d-a p ublic uti li ty- exerc ise i ts delegated power o f emin ent domain in the acqu islt i on o f 2 .8 a c res of Pi ttman· P.ark? 'rhe qu e stion i s importa nt b ecau se i ts answer may determine t h e s uccess or fai l u r e of Southern ' s venture. If the answer is "yes", the n there is probably not hing construc t ive that Pittsburgh residents can do to preven t the plans 1 s complet i on. If "no 11 , then i t !nay be poss ible t.o negotiate with the railroad on the i ssues al r eady rai sed. A te1tat ive finding from t11e City Atto r ney ' s o ffice indicates the railroad does n o t have the power in this case. No. 4) • (See Exhibit �-14- conclusions and Recommendations It is clearl y evident tha t the~ souther n Railroad is det ermined to fu l fill its p l a 1s i n the most expedien t manner. 'J~he secrecy a t which they a cquired property and the conc eal ment of information regarding their intentions unti l the last possible mome n t leaves considerable doubt i n my mind as to what publ i c they represent . It is obviously not t h e 45,00 0 res i dents of Model Cities or the 8,000 in Pittsburgh. As with repres e ntation, the quest i on of benefic i aries is raised. Who b en e fit s dire ctly from expansion of t h e existing facilities? Obviously the management and stock holders of Southern Railroad a nd Gener a l Motors enjoy the fru i ts of this particul a r v enture. The Pittsburgh community suffers for this plan will be to the i r detrime nt ~ Thi s negative e f fect is the v e ry sought of situation Congress had in mind when it e nacted Model Cit ies l e gislation in 1966. The objec tive of which was to s ubst antia lly impr ove t h e e nvi r onment i n slum an d b l i ghted areas o f cities . Here we h av e a goo d example of h ow !l2.:!:. t o i mprove the e nvironment; the placement o f a rai l r oad yard in a res identia l neighbo r hood is une quivocally c ontrary to e very known principle o f envir onme nt a l healt h and s afe ty, and social s tabil ity. Southern's arguments of bus ine ss need a nd c i ty service do not j ustify the predictabl e destruct i on o f a nei ghborh oode Do t h ese reasons take priority over the - ob j ectives of the Model ·cities Program? Do they justify Sou t h ern's disregard for involving residents and public agencies who di l igent ly worked to establish plans �-15f o r creating a bet ter p l a ce to live in ?

Maybe these qu est i ons point to the real reas o n f o r So u thern' s sec retive approac h !

Th is appr o ach mus t b e t hrough nego t i atio n . which i s res i dent invo l v eme nt. Th e p r erequi site o f The r a ng e to n e got i ating is between no expansion of yard facilities , to expansion of the facilities with an i mprovement to t h e s urrounding area. These improvements would consist of h.~gh qua l ity b uffering between the yards and .residential property; a park that is up to city standards in terms of Jand and facilities; an underpass at McDaniel Street; an adequate relocation program for the people to be displaced including the opportunity to remain in this area; and an adequately designed street system to serve the unusual pattern that would result if the yard were built. This endeavor would have to be highly coordinated and thoroughly managed. Resident involvement must be solicited and channeled into the direction that would insure maximum impact on negotiations. �-16- Public re lations must be mobiliz e d and p repa r e d for the c on fronta tions that will occur. An image of a united front will have t o be maintained in orde r t o inc rease the chance s o f receiving the most b e n e fit s from negot iation. In short, t hi s approa ch must be thoroughly planned and managed. As a firs t step, I wou l d re comrnend a h alt to the railroad's acqu is ition program. 'rhis may b e vo lunt ary or be an i nj unct i on which sho ld b e initia.ted 1Jy a r es i dent c ommittee-poss ibly one s e t· up b., cope with the r a ilr o ad problem-an adhoc group. Simultaneously, suppo r t from other public agencies mus t be sol i cited. The Parks Department and Planning Department, a n d perhaps othersr must agree in p r i nciple at l east , to pre vent the railroad from inva lidating t h eir p l ans for the area. (After al l, that 's what they main- ~ain when we present p l ans diffe ent from theirs) . In summary, we must {1) detenuine what position and action the Program will take; ( 2) appo i nt a coordinator; approva l for intervention; and fin ally, ( 3) solicit resident (4 ) insure support from appropriate public agencies. . �T o: Colli er Gladin, George_Aldridge, Pierce Mahony, Don Swea t · (· From: Subj ect : D.'\ T E Eri c , Bob c_;" 1 /r ~ -/ ,6/4~ Southern Railway' s Planned Ex pans ion of Storage Faciliti:?s in the Pittsburgh Neighborhood DISPOSITI O N Di s tribu te [ .J Hold L..J FIi o [J Info. 011/ y 0 Nove mber 18, I969 On Tuesday, N ovembe r 4 , St·an Martin of the Porks & Recreation Department informed Eric that Southern Roi lway was plonning to acquire a portion of Pittman· Park in_ord~r to expand their storage faciliti es which ore now located ju st to the e ost of Mc Dan ie l S1·reet·.

October 30 Southern ' s agents H. Robinson and C. R o McQueen met with AldE.'rman Charles Left.wich, Jack Delius, and Stan Martin to discuss the r ailroad's plan.

November 5 Southern's land agents met with the Atlanta Housing Authority to determine the type of relocation assistance available to occupants of home s within the acquisition area.

Mr. J o ne s reiterated t he Railroad ' s position a s expre ssed one week earl i er on November 10; the acqui sit ion of l a nd, including a portion of Pittman Park, mus t be completed as soon as possible ; the re location of people wa s not a railro ad p roblem; the rai lroad would pay the fair market value f c, r a ll p r ope rty a cquired; and that any att empts to involve r e sidents and other public agenci e Si-'1aS urdes irable b e cause it would slow down the acquisi t i.- n p roc es s .

Model Cities maintained an opposit e po siti on : resident involvement in a ll phases of community development is the core of the Mode l Cities Program and mu st be maintained . The formulation of p l ans affecting residents of the Model Cities Area, without thei r involvemen t , iS contrary to guidelines set up by th~ Department of Housing and Urban Development. (HUD). Suggestions were also made that would get the Rai l road involved in formula- tin~ and financing a portion of the cost of �-7re loca ting people from the propos ed acquisition area i nto new hous i ng within the Model Cities Area . It was additional y recommended that this would be an excellent opportunity for Southern to b ecome involved in the developme nt. of t h e Pittsburgh community by devi sing waya t h at wou l d assis t in impeding the further deterioration of residential s tructures in the immediate vicinity of the railroa d. (Since the railroad is responsible for this d eterioration b y creating an undesirable residential n eighbo r hood to live i n, they should bear the r e sponsibility, rath er than the public a t l a rge , for preventing t his de t erioration. ) Mr. Jones said he would convey this portion to officia l s of t h e railroad. November 17 Mr. J. c. Johnson presented Southern ' s p l an to the Model Cities Board of Directors . (See minutes - Exhib it No. 2). The Board denounce d the plans and attitude of the rail road , particularly the secretive manner by which it planned and executed its program, and addit ional ly, their total disregard for involving residents and the Program staff. Finally the Board passed a resolution urging the Model Cities Executive Board to request the Southern Railroad to cease buying �-8-· prope rties until their actun l int e ntions a r e known. Novembl§r 18 Model Cit ies Exe cutive Board met and lis t ened to a presentation of Southern's plan by Jim Wright. Exhibit No. 3).

The opin i on said i n effec t, that the Ci ty ' .:, ownership and u se of Pit t man Pa rk was a superior governmental use which could not be acqu ired by the railroad t h rougl. its eminent domain power . Issues 1. Resident Involvement. Lack of a ny a.tt~mpt to solicit the involve- ment of residents in t he planning phase of this developm -·nt. This represents a flagrant violation of the requirements and intentions of the Model Cities P .ogra-m as e:itpres-:::;ed by Congress, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the City of Atlanta. If this is allev;ed to continue it will result in de s truct ion of the trust residents now have for the progr9-m as a means for improving �-9- the ir own neighborhoods . 'I'he re can b e no excepti ons fo r ex- c luding re ide nt involvement . 2. Acquis ition of a Portion of P,.t.tman Park. The Mode l Cities Plan identifies the Park as presently be ing below standards set up b y the Prog r am and by the City o f At lanta in it s Parks and Recreation Plan. This de ficie ncy is i n terms of acres, and in fac ilities by which people can en j y the park such a s basebal l diamonds , r e c r eation center, etc. '11 h e Plan a l so anticipate d acquiring th e entire Foy Brick Company in later stages o f the Program: t he use, of cou r se , would have b een a pa.rk a ddition. The r eas on for not propos ing ·1-he acquisition of a djace nt resident i a l property fo r eventua l p ark use was bec a us e the Pittsbur gh c ommunity , i n seve r a l meet i ngs , was again s t s uch a move . The re l at i ve l y goo d structu ral condi tions of these homes a n d t h e p r eservation o f s ocia l ties between n eighbo rs was more i mpo rtant t o th-3se people. Th e rai l road , on t h e other hand , has not con sidered these f acts. After acquisition, wh i ch includes 30 dwe ll i n g un i ts to be removed expressly for park expans i on a nd the Foy Brick Company, park acreage will increase about one acre. Th~s is one more acre t.han the ark now contains, meaning that it will continue to b e substandard. But more important, it means that any plan to bring it up to standards by increas ing its acreage in the future will m0an that additional homes will have to be acquired. �-10 conseque ntly, t h e Railroad has e very thing t o g a in and the Pitts burgh communit y h as ,z verything to los e - its p e opl e , it s homes, and the anticipa ion of enjoying a l a r g er p ark in t h e f ut ure . 3~ Oi sreqa r d f or the Future Developme n t of Pittsburg}~. 'r h e So u thern Ra ilroa d has compl e t e y disreg a rded e x ist ing p lan s f o r Pi t tsburgh . This include s t h e City's 1983 Land Use Pl a n , t h e City ' "' Park s an d Re cre a tion Plan, and Model Cit i es Program Pl ans for the are a . Th ese p lans represent a sub- stan t i al nu.'11ber of hou r s on the p a rt of the a g enc i es inv olved and the res i dents affected. The c o st o f preparing the s e d ocumen ts whi c h r e fl ects , i n th i s case , the d e sires a nd aspirat ions o f Mode l Citie s resi ·.ents is not a l i g h t con s ideration. It cannot be di s regarded . 'J'he Ra ilro ad claims i t s acquis i t i on of h omes t o provi d e itse lf with more yard faci l iti es i s j ustified for two reasons. F -' rs t , that the space is needed to accommodate the outpu t of Ge neral Motors; the intention is tha - more business (if this is actually the Ci'J.se ) wi 11 benefit the city as a whole in the long run. Thi s kind of think.'ng-egotistical, one-sided, narrow minded , a nd with the doll ar i n mind as the ult imate objective-is responsible for destroying central city neighborhoods throughout the countryft It is one of the reasons why Congress has found the n eed for a Model Cities Program. And natura11y it is completely oppos·te t h e short run1 coor iinated, and comprehensive approach of this Prograrn �-11- t owa rds i mproving t h e l i f e of peop le l i ving in the a rea and partic i pating in the Prog rrun . I think that t his r eas on ing ic: i nv a lid within the boundaries of this Prog r am . The short run time period is unquestionably mo re critical to Pi t t sbu gh -esiden ts th an it i s to t h e ques tion abl e long run n ee ds of the Ci t-y, t 1,e Sou thern Rail r oad, and Gener a l Motors -in thi s instan ce. On th e second r e a s on, Southern believes it is doing- a serv i ce to · h e Ci ty b y r emoving s ubstandard structure s in the path of i t s p r opo sed yard facilities. If the struc ture s are s ub - standar d t o the d e gre e South ern claims, (a nd this is que stionable), t h en it is b ecau se of t h eir nearness t o t h e ra il.ro a d.

Who want s Th e people wh o c an affo r d t o l i ve on this resi d en t ial l y margina l and h ave extrem . d i ffi cult y in maintaining their homes beca u se o f t h ei r l ow income and t h e high cost of materials and labor u sed in home repa i rs. (B ecau se the homes are marginal doe s n't mc~an t he people are marginal o:r undesirable). It can be predicted with reasonable certainty t h at once the yar d is constructe d as presently planned , the adjacent buildings will deteriorate over the years. In a similar manner to the present situation, Southern ls laying the groundo10 rk for another claim when the need for additional yard fa.cili ties arises g that they are doing a service to the City by removing them. �-124.

And they will not receive moving expenses and differential payments since they are not part of the NDP or part of an acquisition by a public �-13- agency wor1dng with the Mode l Cities Program. Again,. the people do not benefit and actually become the recipients . . I . , . of inequitable treatment as a r e sult of Southern's 1non-part1.c1.pa- ! tion in the Model Cities Program. 5. Acquiring Pittman Park b y the Power of Eminent Domain. Can I Southern Railroad-a public utility-exercise its delegated power c:>f eminent domain in the acquisition of 2.8 acres of Pittman ~ l?.ark? The question is important because its answer may detennine the ' s uccess or failure of Southern's venture. If the answer is ; "yes", then there is probably nothing constructive that Pittsburgh residents can do to pre vent the plans's completion. I If "no", .I t i en it m~y be possible to negotiate with the railroad ori the I i r ues a~ready rais e d-. 11.. \ tentative finding from the City Attorney's office indicates t ~ e railroad does not have the power in this case, (See Exhibit 'i Nr- ·4), •-,J I·' I ,.·· I .i . ' �-14.- Conclusions and Re commenda tion s It is clearly evident tha t the Southern Railroad is determined to fulfill its plans in the most expedient manner. The secrecy at whic h they acquired property and the concealment o f information regarding their intent ions until the last possible moment leaves c onsiderable doubt i n my mi1d a s to what public they rep resent. It is obviously not the 45,000 residents of Model Cities or the s.ooo in Pittsburgh . As with repre s e ntation, t h e ques tion of beneficiari e s is raised. Who benE:fits directly from expans ion of the existing facilities? Obvious ly the manag ement and stockholders of Southern Railroad and Gen eral Mo t ors enj oy the fru its o f thi s par ticul a r v enture . 'l'he Pitts b urgh c ommunity s u f f e rs for t hi s plan will b e to the ir d etri ment. This negative e ffe ct · s t h e ver'y s ought of s i t ua t i on Congre s s had in mind when i t e n act e d Mo de l Cit ie s l egis lation in 1966. The obj ect i ve of which was to sub st antially i mprove t h e environme n t i n s l um and blighted areas o f cities. Here we h Rv e a good exampl e o f h ow no~ to improve t h e environment ; t h e placement of a rai l r oad yard in a residential n eighborhood is unequivocally con trary to every known principle of envi ronmental h eal t h a nd safety; and social stability. Southern' s argu.i.-uents o f bus i ness need and city service do not justify the predict.able destruct i on of a neigr..borhood. Do these reasons take priority over the objectives of the Model Cities Program? Do they justify Southern's disregard for involving residents and public agencies who di}igent l y worked to establish plans �-15for creating a bette r place to live in? Do they justify side steppi ng a host of socia ., economic, a nd physical problems-- and creating more in the process-that this Program is committed to solving ? Maybe these questions p o int to the r al reason for Southern's secretive approach ! But th e plans are no..-1 pu.'blic and we f i nd ourselves with a set of fact s -and a challenge: ·Reve rsing the hi s torical process . the ra ' lroad aware of the prob l ems it is creating, Ivi.ake and ask them to j oin us in findi ng an acceptable s olution, for them a n d for the resident s of Pitts burgh. Thi s appr o a ch must be through negotiation. which is resident involvement. '11 h e 'I'he: prere quisit e of rang e to neg o iating is between no e x pansio n of yard f a cilitie s , to e x pans i o n of the fa c i l iti es with a n impro v e me nt to the surroun d ing area. These i mprov ements wou l d c on s ist o f high quality buf f e r i ng b etween t h e yards and r e sidential p r operty; a park that i s up to c ity standards in tenns o f land and fa cilities ; a n underpass a t McDaniel Strc~et ~ an adequate .rel ocat i on p rogra..'1\ for t h e peopl e to be displ-3.ced ini::::luding the opport un ity t o rema in in th is area ; and an adequately des igned street system to serve the unu sual pattern that would result if the yard were b u ilt. Thi s endeavor would have to be high ly coordinated and thoroughly managed. Resident involvement must be solicited and channeled into the direction that would insure ma,"{imum impact on negotiations. �-16 - Pub:L i c re l a t i ons mu s t b e mobi l ized and p r epa red f or t he c onfront a tions t hat wi ll occur.

Only November 18, 1969 On Tuesd_(;!y,..,~November 4, Stan Martin of the Parks & Recreation Department informed Eric that Southern Railway was planning to acquire a portion of Pittman Park in_order to expand their storage facilities which are now located just to the east of McDaniel Srreet. -I Previous to this date, representatives of Southern Railway met with Mr. Charles Leftwich to explain their expansion plans. They told Mr. Leftwich that they wanted to acquire approximately 4.2 acres of l·he northern section of Pittman Pc1rk for the storage of railroad cars. In return they will purchase approximately 4.8 acres to the southeast of t·he park and give it to the Parks Department and build new facilities for any facilities which -they acquire. In addition to the park, Southern Railwo)' also plans to exptmd southwesterly into the Pittsburgh Neighborhood and will acquire 50 structures between McDaniel Street and Pittman Park. I On Wednesday, November 5, the day after Ston Martin informed Eric, Reinold Dersch of the Parks Departh1ent brought a map of the park and showed Eric and Bob Southern Railway's plans with regard to the park (but not Southern's complete plons). At this tim_e , Eric te!ephoned Jim Wright to inform him of what the Planning Department had learned. Eric requested that a meeting be held as soon as possible with representatives of Southern Railway, Model Cities, Parks and Recreation Department, Housing Authority and the Planning Deportment. This meeting was set by the Parks Deportment for the fol lowing Monday. On Mondo1 , November 10, a tneeting was held in the confercr,ce room of ~1e City Hal I Annex to discuss Southern Railway's plans. People attending the meeting included: Howard Grigsby ., Housing Authority Lou Orosz & Jim Wright - Model Cities Jimmy Mimms, Virginia Carmichael, Betty Yarborough, Molly Waggoner , Recreation Stoff A.

The lond that Southern Railway wishe s to give the Parks De partment in rel·urn for what they purchase incl udes a porl·ion of t·he bri ck yord east of the present Perk and the block bounded by De levoti Street , Fortress Ave nue , Fle tcher Street and West Avenue .

The greate st concern of the Parks and Recreation De partme nt is that the pork proposed by Southe rn Railway would be long ond fai rly narrow. ihe block w ith 30 structures is qu ite isolated from the majority o f Pittsburgh res idents and th ere fore, the resulting park wou ld not well serve the residents.

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Dan: In view of our inability to influence the format of the meeting of Intergovernmental or Federal Aid Coordinators set for November 30 in San Diego and the prospect of a talk session November 13 in Washington, I feel that it is urgent that a proposal be formulated that can be discussed with the NLC/USCM staff on November 13 and presented for discussion and adoption November 30. I have attached a proposal. I would like to call you in a f ew days to hear your reaction or discuss any alternate package you may have already formulated. I feel some frustration that our initial efforts have apparently become bogged down within the NLC/USCM staff, but I also conclude that the potential of a mechanism f or us to speak as one voice to the FEDS, or NLC/USCM, may be worthy of some additional effort. Larry R. Coons Assistant to the Ci ty Administrator LRC :ma Encl. �Inglewood Proposal It seems to me that the question to be resolved is whether or not the NLC/USCM is willing to give staff support to a section or division of Intergovernmental Coordinators in the field of federal aid for the purpose of facilitating exchange· of information on a continuing basis and organizing workshops to assist interested persons to become informed about new programs and changes in existing programs. If such is true, it is proposed that the initial format of such a grouping within the joint NLC/USCM program would be an open roster with efforts made to identify the individual who is most directly concerned for the liaison with federal officials in the submission and review of applications. In addition to the dissemination of information among these people, the purpose of such workshops and meetings will be to help make existing or new programs more workable at the level of implementation. I n order to provide continuity and f acili t a t e r esponse on urgent issue s, an Intergovernmental Coordinators committee would be formed to provide a repre sentative and an alternate f rom ea ch of the f ederal regions . The de l egat e and alt e rna t e would be sel e cte d at a duly called meeting or election of the representatives on the NLC / USCM r oster of fe deral aid coordinato r s from each region or, i f such repres entati ves are not so named, to be appointed f r om the region by the committee which is so formed. A chairman would be elected by the committee to serve as spokesman �and convener of all meetings. The committee would advise the staff on workshop attendance and request interim meetings with pertinent federal and other representatives to cover topics of concern. The function of forming such a grouping is not to establish a new professional organization, but to identify a mechanism by which intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators can identify within the framework of the NLC/USCM. Such mechanism is also hoped to provide a vehicle for intergovernmental or federal aid coordinators to speak with a semblance of unity in reacting to staff proposals and making recommendations on federal programs. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

DRAFT:MoLean:ez 12/1/69 TO Attention: ~JJL REGIONAL ADMINISTRATORS FROM Robert H. Baida, Deputy Assistant Secretary (MCGR) SUBJECT I. Assistant Regional Administrator for Model Cities Establishing the Start of the Second Action Year Purpose. This memorandum sets forth the procedure for establishing the start of the second action year for each first round Model City. It follows discussion at the July and October meetings of Assistant Regional Administrators and response of ARA's in September to a memorandum dated July 28, 1969, asking how Regional re-v iew loads might be spaced out. I I. Considerations . Among considerations in setting the start of s econd action year s are t h e fo llowing: 1. Nec e ssity of spacing r eview loa ds. If every f ir st r ound city had exactly a 1 2-month first a ction year, abo~t one - h alf t h e first round cities and perhaps one-half the second round cities would come up for review at the same time. 2. Effect on the cities. In some cities, it appears from results so far, there is an advantage in entering the second action year as soon as possible. Continued planning efforts point to a better second year program mix than the presently funded first year package. Shift to the ·s econd year may give the city an opportunity to kill a few doubtful programs before they start. On the other hand, some �-2other cities have started a lot of promising projects but have not kept pace with their monitoring and evaluation efforts. A later shift to second year programrning--perhaps 15 or 16 montbs after the start of the first year--may give evaluation a better chance to impact the second year decisions. 3. Adjustment to local calendars. Some cities will want to fit their Model Cities program year to the city fiscal year • . others may prefer not to do this. Some cities may wish to avoid making program decisions at the time of municipal elections. There may be other local reasons for preferring one renewal time over another. 4. Effect on quality of review. Because of changing conditions in the cities--new leadership, a later start of projects, etc.--there may be some cities which the RICC and the HUD staff feel will be easier to review at a later time than others. 5. Funds available to the cities. Obviously a city that is running out of money must be reviewed promptly, or perhaps given a few months' money to finance a first year continuation until the seco nd year planning can be reviewed. At this point, however, it appears very doubtful that any first round cities are going to be out df funds 12 months after their contract signing. III. carry-over of unspent funds. An important factor of entering the second action year is the disposition of funds obligated to the city for the first action year but not spent. In various ways· we have promised the cities that such funds may be carried over into succeeding years, providing the city is performing well in the programo A city that may have started �-3- sl,:)·.-;ly but has steadily increased program momentum during the first y-s::. rr should not be punished in the second year. However, i:.he national purpose of the Model Cities Program may not ris i·. rall ser v,~d by allocating a full second round target figure to cities whict have shown little or no promise in getting good programs started in the fir.st year. Even for good cities, there may be a problem in building up a spending rate in the second year which cannot be maintained in the third year. For example: City A has a first round target figure of $4 million and a second round figure of the same. During the first year, while projects were starting up, it spent only $2 million. With carry-over, it then has $6 million for the second year. If the city's supplemental spending consists entirely of on-going staff or other expenses, as compared to one-time capital expenses, for which there is no take-over source in the third year, it cannot establish a $6 million spending rate in the second year without facing a likely cut of $2 million for the third year. The tendency of all projects to get more expensive without increasing their scope (because of pay raises, more utilization of services and other reasons) heightens this risk. Therefore, cities shall not be allowed to use their remaining first round funds to increase their second year spending rate except to the extent that: 1. An amount equal to the first round carry-over is applied to capital or other projects which, by their nature, will not require renewal in the third year, or 2. The city can demonstrate a commitment from other sources, �-4- preferably local or State , to carry out the exce·ss on-going projects in year three, or 3. A combination of #1 and #2. In cases where the city has carry-over but cannot meet the above conditions for spending the carry-over in year two, either of t h e fol lowing steps may be taken : A. The city's first year may be stretched out to use all or part of the carry-over. This technique should be used when a stretch-out is desirable for other reasons--in particular, when it will result in a better s.e cond year program, or B. The c i ty may be renewed without stret ch- out, but the allowab l e s.e cond year spending level wil l be held to the second year tar get f igure without the carr y- over , or without that part of the carry - over not covered by paragr aphs 1 t o 3 i mmed iately above. Example: Ci t y A, cited above, shows that $1 million of its projected second year programming represents one- time expenditure, either as capital projects or as projects for which other funding is secure for the third year. It's s pending guideline for the second year would be $5 million. Th e city would not be per mitt ed to carry f or ward $1 million of i ts fir st year f unds . Where a city , because of a pplication of the above, it not a l lowed to add all or part of its carry-over to its second year spending level, it should be indicated to the city that it may get the ~emaining increase during the seqond year.if it can come up with �-5- one-time projects as described above. Example: Half-way through its second action year, City A identifies a new adult education project for which State or loo~~ funds will be available in the third year. It may start t~is project on supplemental funds in advance of its other fundi,.ng. Given these operating considerations and policies, we now request that ARA's recommend a specific starting date fo~ the second action year of each first round city. This date should be not less thaµ ten months nor more that 18 months after start of the first action year. It will be the Central Office intention to follow the ARA's recommendations providing the tqtal pattern of recommendations is consistent with obligation and spending patterns. If recommen- dations have to be changed . to meet these considerations, it is hoped that the changes will affect only a few cities. Proposed changes will be discussed with the ARA's, and time will be allowed to discuss them with the citi~s before final decision. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Shift to the second year may give the city an opportunity to kill a few doubtful programs before they start. On the other hand, some oA- other cities have started a lot of promising projects but have not kept pace with their monitoring and evaluation efforts. A later shift to second year programming--perhaps 15 or 16 months after the start of the first year--may give evaluation a better chance to impact the second year decisions. 3. Adjustment to local calendars. Some cities will want to fit their Model Cities program year to the city fiscal year.. Others may prefer not to do this. Some cities may wish to avoid making program decisions at the time of municipal elections. There may be other local reasons for preferring one renewal time over another. 4. Effect on quality of review. Because of changing conditions in the cities--new leadership, a later start of projects, etc.--there may be some cities which the RICC and the HUD staff feel will be easier to review at a later time than others. 5. Funds available to the cities. Obviously a city that is running out of money must be reviewed promptly, or perhaps given a few months' money to finance a first year continuation until the second year planning can be reviewed. At this point, however, it appears very doubtful that any first round cities are going to be out of funds 12 months after their contract signing. III. Carry-over of unspent funds. An important factor of entering the second action year is the dis-~ position of funds obligated to the city for the first action year but not spent. In various ways” we have promised the cities that such funds may be carried over into succeeding years, providing the city is performing well in the program. A city that may have started -3- Slowly but has steadily increased prcegram momentum during the first yenr should not be punished in the second year. However, the national purpose of the Model Cities Program may not i well served by allocating a full second round target figure to cities whic: have shown little or no promise in getting good programs started in the first year. Even for good cities, there may be a problem in building up a spending rate in the second year which cannot be saintainea in the third year. For example: City A has a first round target figure of $4 million and a second round figure of the same. During the first year, while projects were starting up, it spent only $2 mil- lion. With carry-over, it then has $6 million for the second year. If the city's supplemental spending consists entirely of on-going staff or other expenses, as compared to one-time capital expenses, for which there is no take-over source in the third year, it cannot establish a $6 million spending rate in the second year without facing a likely cut of $2 million for the third year. The tendency of all projects to get more expensive without increasing their scope (because of pay raises, more utilization of services and other reasons) heightens this risk. Therefore, cities shall not be allowed to use their remaining first round funds to increase their second year spending rate except to the extent that: 1. An amount equal to the first round carry-over is applied to capital or other projects which, by their nature, will not require renewal in the third year, or 2. The city can demonstrate a commitment from other sources, == preferably local or State, to carry out the excess on-going projects in year three, or 3. A combination of #1 and #2. In cases where the city has carry-over but cannot meet the above conditions for spending the carry-over in year two, either of the fol- lowing steps may be taken: A. The city's first year may be stretched out to use all or part of the carry-over. This technique should be used when a stretch-out is desirable for other reasons--in parti- cular, when it will result in a better second year program, or B. The city may be renewed without stretch-out, but the allowable second year spending level will be held to the second year target figure without the carry-over, or without that part of the carry-over not covered by paragraphs 1 to 3 immediately above. Example: City A, cited above, shows that $1 million of its projected second year programming represents one-time expenditure, either as capital projects or as projects for which other funding is secure for the third year. It's spending guideline for the second year would be $5 million. The city would not be permitted to carry forward $1 million of its first year funds. Where a city, because of application of the above, it not allowed to add all or part of its carry-over to its second year spending level, it should be indicated to the city that it may get the remaining increase during the second year .if it can come up with sclas one-time projects as described above. Example: Half-way through its second action year, City A identifies a new adult education project for which State or local funds will be available in the third year. It may start this project on supplemental funds in advance of its other funding. Given these operating considerations and policies, we now request that ARA's recommend a specific starting date for the second action year of each first round city. This date should be not less than ten months nor more that 18 months after start of the first action year. It will be the Central Office intention to follow the ARA's recommendations providing the total pattern of recommendations is consistent with obligation and spending patterns. If recommen- dations have to be changed to meet these considerations, it is hoped that the changes will affect only a few cities. Proposed changes will be discussed with the ARA's, and time will be allowed to dis- cuss them with the cities before final decision.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What this statement neglects to outline is the methodology by which these goals and programs are to be accomplished. The implementation of this plan is perhaps its most crucial component. Plans there are in abundance. But the skillful execution of such plans remains the key to effective action. That Atlanta posses the fundamental resources it needs to meet the requirements of the Demonstration Cities Plan is without doubt. What is required is less the creation of new mechanisms than the effective harnessing and, where necessary, the reorientation st. He of those which already ex It is paramount that the essential thrust of the Demonstration med CO ) 25 é9] Cities Program should be kept in mind. It i entially desi a to make a social impact on a low-income neighborhood, bringing oth physical and social planning agencies. tein together the tools of As such the coordination and implementation of the plan should begin with this end in mind and, accordingly, build from this | 3h |P As such the plan calls for an agency which carries both the capacity and means for integrating social and physical planning functions. The only agency which is currently geared to meet 2 this need in terms:of action is the Economic Opportunity Atlanta Program. It.. EOA & Demonstration Cities: On at least two’ bases, if not all three, the Economic Opportunity Program is uniquely equipped to conduct the plan of attack outlined in the draft statement. The plan calls for Neighborhood Organization and Resident Participation. In each of the target neighborhoods delineated for the Demonstration Cities Program, EOA has developed well- organized and functioning neighborhood groups. Most of these have been actively involved in initiating planning activities for the Demonstration Cities Program. These neighborhood groups have made it possible for the first real "grass roots" leadership to participate in planning community life. Every aspect of the community is dealt with, from employ- ment to education, housing to health, recreation and aging. Secondly, the plan calls for the improvement of Health and Welfare and the physical renewal of the area. In both instances Lops neighborhood committees have organized to survey needs and recommended programs. These neighborhood committees stand ready to make their contribution. Finally, as the Act is designed to bring about the coordination of agencies in an all-out attack on the conditions of poverty, the framework of the Neighborhood Service Center program is such that a Technical Advisory Committee is pegatieen to provide this added and much needed resource. In review it ean be shown that the Neighborhood Service Centers in the target, Demonstration Cities Area provide a ready made well-organized forum for "grass roots seria a mechanism for attack and a base on which additional program effort can be laid. Lilia .Plan“of Attack : It is, however, not the contention of EOA that its present structure is entirely sufficient to meet this task alone. Indeed, were it not for the fact that many agencies have made their services available from the outset would it be possible for EOA to have reached its present stage of evolution. It realizes it is far from the desired goal. But it is on the right road and hopes this latest effort (Demonstration Cities) will reinforce its role and future. There are some areas of need which go beyond the present structure and activities of the Neighborhood Service Centers. It remains only to outline some of these to indicate the gaps which should be closed with additional programs and personnel. A. Present activities include: 1. Employment - job placement, counseling referrals, training opportunities, etc. 2. Social Services - multi-purpose needs - (health, family counseling, day care, aging, ‘etc.) : 3. Education ~ community schools, adult €ducation, etc. 4. Housing - relocation assistance and housing information B. Need Areas: 1. Economic infra-structures - businesses - lending institutions, commerical establish- ment, etc, 2. Social infra-structures-community clubs, recreation halls, etc. 3. Physical infra-structures-roads, parks, etc. IV. Implementation: It is recommended that these centers which are located in the Demonstration Cities Area should be meeaes into a Demonstration Cities Planning Task Force. As such they would be funded through the initial planning grant while providing services at the same time. These centers would be administered by the Mayor's office under a Demonstration Cities Project Officer who is responsible to the Mayor. Although officially responsible to the Mayor, these centers would continue to operate under the administrative . procedures of the local CAA. The local CAA, EOA, would provide at least one coordinator from its office to that of the Mayor's Demonstration Cities Office, 4. V. Evaluation: ' Under terms still unwritten an evaluation of the Demonstration Cities Program, the Neighborhood Center Program and the coordirmation of these activities would be undertaken by a local educational institution. Hopefully, this negotiation would lead to a greater, sustained involvement of the academic community in urban problems, “raeally, Atlanta University and Georgia State College and/or Emory University could fulfill this need.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal An aggressive and effective force for citizen participation in urban renewal and associate activities is the Citizens Advfsory Committee for Urban Renewal. Authorized by resolution of the Board of Aldermen, this committee has a membership of some 80 citizens, appointed by the mayor. The membership represents all sections of the city and the ·various economic strata of business and professional life. Special care is taken to have at least 40 per cent of the membership from the minority race. Ever since Atlanta became actively engaged in urban renewal, this citizens committee has been very forceful in broadening public understanding of the aims and actions in the various projects. It has subcommittees specifically assigned to each point in the city• s workable program. A special subcommittee has worked closely with the Community Improvement Program since its inception. The Citizens Advisory Committee as a whole headed up a campaign which played a leading role in strengthening the city• s housing code enforcement program to meet workable program requirements. The full committee meets four times a year. At the first meeting of each year, the mayor outlines his plans for the year in urban renewal and housing, as was done in January of the present year. The executive committee meets during each of the other months of the year. At its February meeting the executive committee centered its program on the plans for the city• s application to be included in the model neighborhood demonstration program. To obtain fuller citizen participation in each new urban renewal project added to the Atlanta program, the main Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee appoints an associate committee in the project area. Chairman of this associate committee meets regularly with the full committee and the executive committee. The committee's e x ecutive director meets with the associate committees and attends citizens meetings in the project areas. The committee conducts citizen tours of present urban renewal projects and areas being considered for future projects. Groups from 40 to 75 citizens are thus given a first hand view of slum conditions. These tours are conducted all through the year , averaging at least one a month. �During the first two months of 1967, such different groups as two Georgia Tech classes, a Georgia State college class, the provisional members of the Atlanta Junior League and a women's club in an area adjacent to the model neighborhood target area were taken on tours by the Citizens Advisory Committee in conjunction with the Atlanta Housing Authority which is the city's agent for urban renewal. The Citizens Advisory Committee is supported by public contributions and a matching fund from the city. It is staffed by an executive director, who is a former TIME and LIFE staff writer of 25 years experience and a secretary. The chairman is Robert L. Sommerville, president of the Atlanta Transit Company, and one of Atlanta's topmost ci vie leaders. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Utilize existing neighborhood organizations where possible, find and involve unorganized people, get to know every family, knock on doors. Provide full information to area residents concerning the program, planning decisions to be made, alternative courses of action; solicit expression of residents! concerns, desires, and needs, individually and in groups. Incorporate resident's concern, desires and needs in planning and execution of the program. Develop means of introducing views of area residents in policy making. Afford opportunities to city-wide and metropolitan groups to discuss the impact of the program on their particular areas and interests and bring to bear their points of view in the planning and execution of the demonstration program. Utilize existing citizen committees established under other Federal programs such as CACUR, and EOA groups.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Sum-Mee Neighborhood Service Center Report on Community Improvement Program Novembet 22, 1966 In.April, 1966, several groups in Sum-Nee area organized neighborhood clean-up groups in scattered sections of the target area. When the Mayor declared war on slums in 1'1ay and initiated the Community Improvement Program, it .seemed a natural for organization of the total cormnunity around it so as to involve residents in the CIP and form a kind of partnership between citizens and the City, not to mention the benefits to be derived from a concentration of city services in the community. To have such a concentration of services in an area where these had been at such a minimum was indeed salutary. The Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Council and the Technical Neighborhood Advisory Committee joined forces in setting up a plan for the entire area. Committees of the CNAC were assigned responsibilities as liaison between the community and various city services to work along with the neighborhood units through block captains. It was hoped that through this kind of a ppr oach it would be pos sible to maintain continuing interest and e fforts toward community improv~ment even beyond the Mayor's campa ign. Many areas have shown decided improvements in their "housekeeping." Most encouraging were clean-up efforts in some of the wors t "pocket s " i n the a rea , emerge nce of some potential new l eadership at the "gr ass root s " level.

This problem was centered around a place of business known as "Murray's Liquor Store, Wine and Beer Super-rett" and "Carrol's Drive-in Tavern, all located on the corner of Pryor and Ridge. There have been numerous counts of disorder over the years‘at this location. Very little was done to correct the situation until a sixteen year old young man was killed by Security Guards of scurrilous nature. The Extension Manager called a meeting of the comuunity to get more informae tion as to the reason of the young man's death and the vice of the business corner, The meeting at the Church of God brought forth more information. Young men, young ladies and adults expressed the following information which proved to be facts. The management of the liquor store, beer and wine store and Tavern was selling alcoholic beverages to minors. The Security Guard beat up numerous and septuagenarian citizens who were not on Murray's or Carrol's property, and the ones who were, were beaten into sub~ mission. There was talk of rape but no facts provided. Activities of all kinds are done in cars on the lot and behind the tavern, The Extension Manager was told of a plot to burn down the corner by many young men and women of the neighborhood, The group was found,. an appeal was made by the =xtension Wanager, Representative Hood and Lir. Peters, CHA Chairman to let us try to use the avenues of the law and refrain from violence. After hours of talking, the young people agreed to use the courts of law to close the corner but assured-us if the court did not close the three businesses, the neighborhood would without regard to life or property. The following action vas put into operation: The investigation of the young maa's death; proof was established from the coroner's report that the bullet came fro; a .22 calibre gun carried secretly on one of the Security Guards. The Guard claimed one of the young men in the group shot the young wan. The Guard has been bound over to the State for murder. With what information the citizens had, a committee was sent to the Police Committee at City Hall. Extension anager Fron Ix August, 1966 Page 2 After hearing the complaint, the Police Committee booked the case for August 31, at which time the owners would be present to show cause as to why their license should not be revoked.

His long arm reaches very deeply- into the ranks of the poldee”! force and some of the city officials. Reports show that many charges haye been brought asainst his business but never seem to get to court. The conwunity citizens were organized into groups to produce evidence that could not be thrown out of court. The Citizens couwnittee feels sure iir, irray cannot control every alderman of the Police Comaittee chaired by Alderwan Richard Freeman, The Extension ilanager was visited by Captain Mullens of the Atlanta Police Department.

SUMMERHILL - MECHANICSVILLE DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE, INC. STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS January 23, 1967 On Tuesday, December 26, 1966 the Summerhill-Mechanicsville Development Enterprise group, which has been developed primarily by the SummerHill-Mechanicsville Neighborhood Service Center of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. became a legal corporation. The general purpose of this corporation is to provide employment for adult semi-skilled and unskilled workers who come from the poverty areas of the Metropolitian Atlanta area. It does at this time include residents with experience that will lead to management of small businesses. · The operation of the corporation includes the demolition, cleaning and boarding-up and renovation and repair of sub-standard housing and properties. The demolition, cleaning-up, and boarding-up is done in close cooperation with the appropriate departments of the city of Atlanta that relate to housing. The renovation and repair operations are contracted from private individuals. It is anticipated that the work of the corporation will involve demolition and boarding-up 41% of the time. The remaining percentage of the work, being renovation and repair work, should provide work for the people in the corporation on a full-time, year-round basis. At any time there might be a slack period, Mr o Charles Holt, owner of the Lane Grading Company will give them work during that period of time on his company's payroll. Mr . Holt is a member of the Board of Directors of the corporation. In planning and developing this project, an organization of residents from the poverty area of Summerhill - Mechanicsville was formed through the use of appropriate technical assistance from the different parts of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. Skilled, ex perienced, licensed, and technical personnel are the workers themselves, and they do posses necessary technical skills for a successful operation as well as the desire to manage their own company. Equipment and part of their on-the-job training will be provided by Mr. Chat les Holt . Mr . H&lt is donating his training services to this corporation, but he will be paid for the operation of his heavy equip ment. Other advice and training in the operation and management of their businesses is being provided by a technical advisory committee (see attached sheet for members names) . Weekly detailed supervision will be given to the business manager of the corporation by a committee from the Atlanta Jaycees, who will be readily available in a hous e they have rented in the Sunnnerhill Mechanicsvtlle area. �Statement of Operations Continued Page 2 January 23, 1967 The corporation will continue to exist to provide a chance for the residents of Atlanta pvoerty areas to help them help themselves through the betterment of their own housing and other living conditions. As the corporation develops, it will have as a basic goal, the increase employment of poverty area resident, rather than the maximization of profit. The support that the corporation has found during its organization and development has been very encouraging. Many people in Atlanta believe the general purpose of re-developing the slum areas to be a very worthwhile endeavor that will be welcomed by the city as a whole. The part that the Surrnnerhill-Mechanicsville Development Corporation is to play in this has been highly commended. (See attached letters) . With the coupling of the worthy purpose of the corporation, the ambition and desire of the corporation members and the support of the corporation from public and private interests in Atlant, the success of the business is most certainly assured. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Since the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center is still operating with a temporary connnittee, and is only now holding elections for its first permanent committee, the ad hoc committee in this community is much larger and has a broader base than normal. The prior function of this group had been to generate sufficient connnunity concern and interest, and to demonstrate to EOA Headquarters a need for a center in the Pittsburg Community . To this end, meetings were held over a period of a year during which all of the committees and sub-committees functioned . Whe n the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center opened, this temporar y connnittee continued to advise. Representing approx imately fou r hundr ed (400) people , this group has been able to give direct i on to the cent er from a var iety of experiences , and from a gene r al k nowledge of c ommuni ty problems . Things f or which th is corrnnuni ty is or has been d i re c t l y re spon sibl e are: 1 - rec ommendat ion s f or indige neou s and indigent p er sons t o be empl oyed 2 determination of prioritie s o f service 3 - selec tion of s ite 4 - advocate s for the c enter. �A further evidence of citizen involvement may be demonstrated by the neighborhood elections which are now in progress. The entire connnunity, which has been subdivided into groups called area blocks, is at work electing persons to represent them on a permanent connnittee, and this is being accomplished via the same procedure used in all local and national elections. The same machines used in general elections are being used in these neighborhood elections, and the same registration procedures are being employed. After a survey conducted by the center staff, and after finding that voter registration did not account for a reasonable percentage of the total community population, the ad hoc committee of the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center felt that in conjunction With the election process, some emphasis should be placed on voter registration. In all of these instances, the entire staff of the center has operated both at the direction of the committee, and in response to the obvious need for organization. One major pr oject, which is still continuing, is a cooperative effort of the center and the Pittsburg Civic League toward the acquisition of a community center. The extension and housing departments, along with the director, have had plans drawn up, inspected sites and written proposals, all at the direction of the Pittsburg Civic League. Contact has been m~de with Dr. Phillip Weltner of The Whitehead Foundation wi th the hope that funds for this project may be made avail- ' able.

To this end, meetings were held over a period of a year during which all of the committees and sub-committees functioned.

Representing approximately four hundred (400) people, this group has been able to give direction to the center from a variety of experiences, and from a general know- ledge of community problems. Things for which this community is or has been directly responsible are: 1 - recommendations for indigeneous and indigent persons to be employed 2 - determination of priorities of service 3 - selection of site 4 - advocates for the center. A further evidence of citizen involvement may be demonstrated by the neighborhood elections which are now in progress.

CITIZENS PARTICIPATION -- PRICE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTER AREA Citizens participation in the Price Neighborhood Service Center area is relatively wide-spread.

From the beginning of our existance, May, 1965, we have had organized neighborhood groups to determine existing problems, and help to find solutions to these problems. For the last 12 months, we have broadened this community participation to neighborhood participation. We have 25 organized neighborhood groups, or block clubs. These groups meet and discuss neighborhood, as well as, community problems, and at the same time, they are exposed to total city resources and problems. Neighborhood groups also have representation on the over-all Center Advisory Council. This council serves as a sounding board for all problems from the individual areas as well as an excellent vehicle for the Center staff to relate to the community. In addition to block organizations, the Center staff has involved scores of neighborhood, social, and church groups at their requests who had specific interests for group needs. We have organized five steps that saw a need for day care services in their community. Two of these groups were successful in getting two large day care centers. From a nucleus of a small group of businessmen from the area, we organized two business improvement clinics. These clinics, ten sessions, had an average attendance of 50 persons. Two similar-type clinics were organized with residents of the area who managed apartments. These residents wanted to gain knowledge on how to properly care for the property and work with the residents. -2- In September, 1966, residents of the area, interested in family day care, were organized to conduct training clinics and to help get the existing family day care programs up-graded. One block club, that saw an over-all need for concentrated attention on many areas of problems, was involved in what we chose to call "Operation Exposure". Representatives from the area block clubs, interested in recreational services, have been involved in area recreational council. This council, during the summer of 1966, made approaches to City officials and land owners, and successfully established two equipped play-lots. This group has held many training sessions in an attempt to learn what is involved in an adequate recreational program and what community resources are presently available.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
