Delius, General Manager Atlanta Gity Parks City Hall Annex Atlanta, Georgia SUBJECT: Theatre of the Stars Building in Chastain Park. Dear Mr. Delius: As you are aware both the "Theatre Under The Sters" and the "Municipal Theatre! no longer exist. Jn place of these.two theatres is the newly chartered and duly organized "Theatre of the Stars, Inc.", which will be the future sunmer and winter.theatre. The 1969 suxmer . shows will be held in the new Civic Auditorium, and the opening show will be on July &, 1969. The new "Theatre of the Stars" is presently operating out of the old Municipal Theatre building in Chastain Park. This building was erected on Chastain Park property, under a lease agreement of three (3) years with the City of Atlanta, which expired on September 15, 1967. Under the lease agreement, it is renewable "upon such terms and conditions as thé Mayor may desire", ‘ In order to constuct this building, a note for $32,500.00 was negotiated by the Municipal Theatre with the Citizens and Southern Yational Bank. Presently there is an unpaid balance of $17,500,00-~ no payments, due to the defunct condition of the Municipal Theatre, have been made since December, 1958. I am presently discussing this indebtedness with the 0. & 5S. Bank and will also discuss it with the Board of Trustees of the Theatre of the Stars at their May meeting. Unless we can maintain the usage of this building it will be impossible to present the 1969 summer shows. Will you therefore discuss this with the proper city authorities and secure a lease extension? Thank you for your assistance.

I particularly appreciate your timely correspondence and assure you it is the desire of this department, and I feel that I speak for the Parks Committee, to renew the lease on this structure provided the City has assurance that the unpaid balance against this structure of $17,500.00 be settled in some acceptable manner so as to preclude liens against the structure, etc. The original lease provided that at the end of the leased period the structure would become the property of the City of Atlanta. However, it is certainly not our intention to attempt to utilize the building for desperately needed storage and maintenance space unless, of course, your organization has no further need for it. We will 811 work with you in providing what we hope to be a successful 1969 Summer Season. I will ask the Associate City Attorney, Mr. Thomas F. Choyce, to proceed to prepare a resolution to be introduced to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen on May 5, 1969, which will renew the lease for an additional three years. As I understand it, the present law is such that we are not allowed to lease beyond this period of time except at Grant and Piedmont Parks.

De l i us, General Manager of Parks Gentlemen: Pursuant t o a request of Mr. Jack C. Del ius, General Manager of Parks and Recreation, I have made inquiry with res pect t o the status of a prop building which was used by Municipal Theatre, Inc. during the summer theater seasons 1965 through 1967 at Chastain Municipa l Amphitheater. You will recall that Municipal Theatre used the facilities of Chastain Memorial Amphitheater free and their only monitary obligation, if it could even be called this, was to place a prop building at the rear of the Theater and turn the prop building over to the City of Atlanta at the expiration of the lease or any extensions thereof. As of this date, Municipal Theatre is still using the prop building, although the leas e has expired. It was with respect to this facet of the situation that Mr. Delius requested me to direct my inquiry. I contacted c ounsel for the now defunct Municipal Theatre, Inc. who had a gentleman by the name of Mr. Roland B. Anderton conta ct me. Mr. Anderton told me over the telephone that he represented the successor gr oup to Municipal Theatre, Inc. The following constitutes a substance of my telephone conversation with Mr. Anderton: After Mr. Anderton set forth who he was, he to ld me that he did r epresent the succ essor group to Municipal Theatre, Inc. He told me that Mr. Dillard Munford had a meeting with Mayor Allen and Mr. Milton Farris, Chairman of the Finance Committee, with respect to the successor group. Various financial arrangements were discussed with Mayor Allen and Mr. Farris to determine what could be done to have good theater in Atlanta this summer at the Civic Center. An arrangement was entered into with the City, with Mayor Allen and Mr. Farris acting as the City's repres entatives, whereby the Civic Center would be used this sunnner on what would in all probability be a reduced rate, said rate being predicated upon the proceeds of the successor group. Mr. Anderton went on to tell me two things that I feel are especially remarkable with respect to the situation concerning the prop building. The first was that if we take action �Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr. Mr. Jack C. Delius Page 2 April 9, 1969 to deny them use of the prop building, there would, in all probability, be no theater in the Civic Center for the summer season 1969. Second, he also told me that somewhere floating around in the back of his mind was a side agreement which I assume would modify the lease agreement above set forth whereby the City had given an additional ten year's use on the prop building. The above constitutes what I feel is remarkable with respect to the conversation I had with Mr. Anderton. I certainly do not purport to be able to bind the City in any respect and the primary purpose of this is, I assure you, for information purposes and also to request of you two gentlemen such direction to me as may be proper under the circumstances with respect to a disposition concerning the prop building. Should either of you have any questions with respect to the situation, please feel free to call upon me.

In assessing our services over a period of two years, we find that the needs in each of our neighbor hoods have increased, The resulting verbal . --· demands for additional recreational services are surpassing our ability ·to meet them; since our primar y unit of se rvice is to the s mall club group, and our staff's orientation and training is rarely, if ever, in the field of recreation. We feel that reacreational service s are needed and that we ca n and should · help, but realistically we cannot do it alone and continue to do justice to our other program needs. Program Plan Purpose: To improve and expand the recreational services in each of the service areas (Price Service Area, Capit ol Home s Area, and Mechanicsville) 1 •.

W. ; Legend: Definition of Needs Wesley Centers for many years have offered some supplementary recreational services in each of its neighborhoods in order to meet more individualized needs. In assessing our services over a period of two years, we find that the needs in each of our neighborhoods have increased. The resulting verbal demands for additional recreational services are surpassing our ability to meet them; since our primary unit of service is to the small club group, and our staff's orientation and training is rarely, if ever, in the field of recreation. We feel that reacreational services are needed and that we can end should help, but realistically we cannot do it alone and continue to do justice to our other program rieeds. Program Plan Purpose: To improve and expand the recreational services in each of the service areas (Price Service Area, Capitol Homes Area, and Mechanicsville) 1.. To offer more opportunities for participation through a variety of activities on the Play Grounds and in the Gym. 2. To create additional teams which will offer a variety of choices and opportunities for the young people in the neighborhoods. 3. To offer some experiences in arts, crafts, and dance. Responsibilities: Wesley Centers, Inc. 1. General maintenance of building and grounds and provide the utilities. 2. Share the cost for major repairs of equipment. 3. Share in the supervision of staff in relation to direct work in each of the units; and assume some responsibility for the evaluation of services and worker performance. Progrem planning with staff in harmony with the philosophy and policies of both Wesley Centers and City Recreation. Act as the agency in settling disputes which are agency related. Insure that any person who comes can be served in harmony with the “open door" policy of City Recreation. Assure that the staff's direct obligations to City Recreation are carried out. « Schedule conferences as needed to assess the program, needs, effect- iveness and worker performance. - Assume some recountability for equipment pees and maintenance replacement. - wo eo A Wu Responsibilities: City Recreation 1.

Carl Fl i nt , of 1346 Peach Val l ey Road , Atlanta , Georgia . It was explained tha t h e had writte n to Alderman Left wich concerning t wenty to forty acres in front of his home . Mr . De lius mentioned that this acreage was actually Pan iel Johnson Pa rk . Mr . Flint explained that h e had written in regard to keeping a hors e on th e l an d and that th e r e were very few children of "p ark age 11 in the vicinity. He a l so stated that th e re was a sewer probl em on th e ac r eage , tha t h e had. 11b een kill i ng larvae and skimmers .... " Ald e rman Millican said we would have to check the sewage problP~ · Chairman Leftwich suggested that Alderman Mil l ican go by and ch, _ i t and tha t he would a lso go by and look at it . · Mr . Brindley told the Committ ee tha t h e believed this l a nd consist e d of e i ght to t we lv e acres but that th e boundaries were vag u e - tha t a t O!1e time th e former Parks Manager , Mr . Simons, h a d tried to find th s bounda ri es . Chairman Lef t wich stated that h e would like for the Ge~e r a l Manager to check th e deed and tha t we should try to fin d ju ~ c whe r e th s prop e rty lines ar e and look i n to r eopeni pg th e d eve lop ment of thi s park . He a l so told Mr . Flint tha t th e Park mi g ht b e r es trict e d to park u se . Mr . Flint was thanke d for coming to the mee ting. At thi s time , Mr . 1~e lius introc. ·r~ed Mr . Edwin Vaughn, new Office Manager for the Pa r ks Depa ~tment, to th e Committ ee , who wished him g ood luck in his ne w ~ob . Th e General Manager i nformed t he Commi tt ee tha t th e Showmob il e will be put to a new use for the public as a vo ti ng booth in an a r ea known as John son Est a t es . Mr. Delius told th e Con~vriitt ee t ha t a citizen, Mr . J. M. Ford, III, h ad complained s omet l ~~ ago about an inc id ent a t th e Bobby Jones Golf Cours e , and tha t it had be en di sc ussed with th e Committe e before. However, Alderman Cook wan t e d mo L·c ~2ta i l s on th e i nc id en t and s o th e General Manager had aske ~ ~he Golf Pro, Mr . Davey, th e For eman, Mr . England , and any other employees they thought necessary, to attend to day's meeting i n order to discuss the incident . According to our information, Mr. De l ius explained, this c iti z en was apparent l y told that h e could not l et hi s fiv e - year -old son accompany him on th e cour se, but l ater said he was advised if h e would r en t an e l ec tri c golf cart that permission could be granted. The citizen was indignant sinc e he felt t hat it woul d b e as dang e rous for his son to acc omp any him in a c art as it would b e otherwise. Bo th Messrs . Davey and England reit e r a t ed wha t they had said in October (when t he matter was first d i s cus se d), that they knew nothing whatsoever about th e incid e nt. Howe ve r, th e Go lf Starter, who had come to th e me e ting, stated that · he might hav e said something tha t was mi sunders tood. He said that h e had told a ci ti zen (who h ad b een a c c o mp an i e d by a child) t hat he had heard of another golf course near f.Iar j_e tt a where a.pparently childr en could accon~any adults on t~e course . He explain e d that he understood this was a semi -pri vate c ourse. Alder1nan Millican stated that if anyone h ad t alke d rudely to the man or if anyo ne t h ough t - 2 - �this had happened, that we write a l etter of apology . However, the Committee reaffirmed its position on the regulations prohibiting non-players on the go lf course . It was mentioned that i n the past there had been many citizens who followed golfers, placing bets, etc. Th1e fact that non-players also crowd the course, slowing down the game, as 0e ll as the element of danger in being hit with a golf ball, was discussed . The Committee Members asked Mr . Davey, the Golf Pro, if th ese regulations regarding non - players were posted in a promine nit place in the clubhouse and Mr . Davey replied that t hey were. He also stated that many times a golfer will make all arrangements to play and that th e children who accompany them will not appear until the golfer is ready to te e off, apparently having been kept in the golfer's automobile until he is ready to play. Apparently, thi s has been a problem for the employees at th e golf courses who wish to carry out the rules without offending any citizens. It was decided that , if a citizen had been offended, a letter should be written to him apologizing for any rudeness, but that th e regulations be adhered to. Committee thanked Messrs . Davey and England for coming to the meeting . Mr . Delius told the Committee he would like permission to request a resolution authorizing s ic k leave amounting to ten days over and above acc ui:nul ated sick time in the instance of two Parks employees : Mr . Roger 0 . Stroup e , Position Number 282, Equipme nt Op e rator I, and Mr . Cooper Landers, Position Number L~7 9, Equipment Opera tor I. He explained that theyhad b e en faithful emp loye es in the Parks Department and each had experienced a siege of sickness that had used all their sick leave . Committee granted r e quest . The General Manager told the Committ ee that $6,000 .00 additional fund s were ne e ded to solve the h ea ting problem in the Reptile House and that Mr. Fred Shepherd , Bui ldi ng Inspector , had concurred in this. Committee authorized request. Dale Creek Park was discussed and the fact that there were very few records on it. Committee authorized a resolution for the City Attorney to hav e a titl e report made on this prop e rty fronting on the north easterly side of Dale Creek Drive between Fores t Ridge Drive and Collier Ridge Drive in order to determine the property lines. The General Manager told the Committee that the recr ea tion programs the Parks and Recreat ion Depar t men t had attempted to hav e in the Morningside School area had apparently conflicted with the wishes of resid ent s, including the principal, and that we had b een told th ese citizens didn't wan t such activities as dance s , e tc., which would bring about "boy/girl relationships at such an early age," and that after reviewing th e complaints with the Recreation staff, had moved the program to Garden Hills where we do hav e a building. It was though t that if th e commun ity should change it s opinion, a mee ting could be held with all parties involv ed to work out some type of suitab l e program. - 3 - �Mr .

Origina lly it had b ee n pl a nn e d for either Mo z l e y or Anderson1 Park , but Mr . Delius said h e h a d b ee n told by Mr .

C. M. Alexand er , and that the Arbori st seems to be v~ry t actful in approaching citizens and yet is protective of the trees as well . He stated that we now have the capac i ty to maintafn tre es that are planted for downtown beautification and would like to write to the Women ' s Chamber of Commerce regarding thi s . Committ ee was agreeab l e . Committee again · discussed the building erected at Chastain Memorial Park by Municipa l Theater . The General Manage r was asked to determine the exact amount of indebtedness owed on the building by Muni cipal Theater - the original amount of the debt and how much has been paid . The Aldermen agreed that since Mr . Manos had exp r essed a strong wi sh to stay and pay off this d e bt, that this would probably be ihe right thing to do . But the y vo ic ed very strong opinions to the effect that if Municipal Thea ter were a llowed to stay on in the building , a definite time limit should be set on when th ey would liquidate this indebt e dness . They felt this should b e one of the conditions - that p erhaps a time limit of no more than five y ears b e stipulated . Mr . De lius informe d the Committee that in the meantime , the City Attorney had g iven th e Department of Pa rks in structions not to a llow anyone to do anything at all to the building , even to drive a nail, until this i s settled . Mr. De lius mentione d an article that should b e frame d and put in the n ew Cyclorama Museum . He explain e d that thi s is an untitl ed pi e ce of po e try written during the Civil War on the back of a Confederate bill . It was suggested that it be sealed with a water proof plastic or finish by perhaps the Perma - Seal Plaque Company to pres erve it. Committee agree d . The Committee we nt into Exe cutive Session and the golf comp e tition was di s cus sed . Commi tt ee agree d to waive the greens fe es for th e P.ntrant s in thi s eve nt. Mr .

Text Any textual data included in the document Minutes of Aldermanic Parks Meeting ; February 11, 1969 The regular monthly meeting of the Aldermanic Parks Committee was held Tuesday, February 11, 1969 at 2:00 P.M. in Committee Room No.2, City Hall. Present were Aldermen Charlie Leftwich, Chairman, Douglas L. Fowlkes, Vice Chairman, and G. Everett Millican. Also present were Messrs. Jack C. Delius, General Manager of Parks and Recreation, J.’ D. Chamblee, Parks Maintenance Superintendent, A. P. Brindley, Parks Engineer, Edwin Vaughn, Office Manager, Jim Davey, Golf Pro at Bobby Jones Golf Course, and Mr. Henry England, Foreman of Bobby Jones. Miss Virginia Carmichael, Director of Recreation, and Miss Jimmie Mims, Assistant Director of Recreation, were also present. Chairman Leftwich called the meeting to order and the minutes of the last regular meeting of January 14, 1969, as well as the minutes of a called meeting of February 3, 1969, were approved. Mr. Gene Hay, Public Links Committeeman for the United States Golf Association, appeared first before the Committee. He made a request on behalf of his organization that the City of Atlanta allow the use of one of the City's golf courses for the purpose of a City Public Links Championship playoff in 1969, with the City Champion from this competition to go to the National Competition, which would be held on June 17, 1969. Mr. Hay told the Committee this would necessitate closing whichever City golf course would be used for two days; one day would be for the Sectional Qualifying Rounds and one day for the Amateur Public Links Championship. Mr. Hay also asked that the greens fees be waived for those participating in the competition. Committee asked Mr. Hay if members of private clubs were eligible for this competition. Mr. Hay replied that they were not eligible and it was also mentioned that private clubs do have their own championships. Since the National Compe- tition is held June 17, it was thought the City Qualifying Rounds and Championship playoff should be held sometime in May or June prior to and well in advance of the National Competition. It was also mentioned that these two days should be weekdays. Mr. Hay was thanked for coming before the Committee and advised that it would be discussed further in Executive Session. Mr. Frank Cantrell, 4930 Roswell Road, Atlanta, Georgia appeared before the Committee to request permission to put on some rock and roll shows at the building that is presently occupied by Municipal Theater at Chastain Memorial Park. This is the building, it was explained, that Municipal Theater still owes a large balance on. Mr. Delius mentioned that Municipal Theater's General Manager, Mr. Chris Manos, had called his office on January 28, 1969, stating that their original debt had amounted to around $30,000.00 - that they had paid it down to $19,000.00 and would like a chance to finish paying this debt. If it developed that the lease with Municipal Theater was not renewed, it was stated that the Parks and Recreation Department nad great need on the buildings. Wr, Chamblee ssid tne Parke Denartment néziade additional storage apace at Chastain Memorial Park, and Miss Ga rinichac] stated that the Recreation Division could also make good use of the building if it became available. The Committee explained to Mr. Cantrell that many groups had requested use of the building but even if Municipal Theater vacates the building, it was not likely that any of these requests would be granted since the City has need of the building. Mr. Cantrell was thanked for appearing * fore the Committee and told he would be advised if the situation chs sed. . Next to appear before the Committee was Mr. Carl Flint, of 1346 Peach Valley Road, Atlanta, Georgia. It was explained that he had written to Alderman Leftwich concerning twenty to forty acres in front of his home. Mr. Delius mentioned that this acreage was actually Daniel Johnson Park. Mr. Flint explained that he had written in regard to keeping a horse on the land and that there were very few children of "park age" in the vicinity. He also stated that there was a sewer problem on the acreage, that he had "been killing larvae and skimmers...." Alderman Millican said we would have to check the sewage proble~: Chairman Leftwich suggested that Alderman Millican go by and ch . it and that he would also go by and look at it. Mr. Brindley told the Committee that he believed this land consisted of eight to twelve acres but that the boundaries were vague - that at one time the former Parks Manager, Mr. Simons, had tried to find the boundaries. Chairman Ieftwich stated that he would like for the Geseral Manager to check the deed and that we should try to find ju:c where the property lines are and look into reopening the development of this park. He also told Mr. Flint that the Park might be restricted to park use. Mr. Flint was thanked for coming to the meeting. At this time, Mr. Helius introuw'ced Mr. Edwin Vaughn, new Office Manager for the Parks Department, to the Committee, who wished him good luck in his new ‘ob. The General Manager informed the Committee that the Showmobile will be put to a new use for the public as a voting booth in an area known as Johnson Estates, . Mr. Delius told the Conmittee that a citizen, Mr. J. M. Ford, III, had complained sometime ago about an incident at the Bobby Jones Golf Course, and that it had been discussed with the Committee before. However, Alderman Cook wanted moire details on the incident and so the General Manager had askeu che Golf Pro, Mr. Davey, the Foreman, Mr. England, and any other employees they thought necessary, to attend today's meeting in order to discuss the incident. According to our information, Mr. Delius explained, this citizen was apparently told that he could not let his five-year-old son accompany him on the course, but later said he was advised if he would rent an electric golf cart that permission could be granted. The citizen was indignant since he felt that it would be as dangerous for his son to accompany him in a cart as it would be otherwise. Both Messrs. Davey and England reiterated what they had said in October (when the matter was first discussed), that they knew nothing whatsoever about the incident. However, the Golf Starter, who had come to the meeting, stated that he might have said something that was misunderstood. He said that he had told a citizen (who had been accompanied by a child) that he had heard of another solr cource nesr Marietta where sappsrently enildren could accompany adults on the course. He explained that he understood this was a semi-vrivate course. Alderman Millican stated that if anyone had talked rudely to the man or if anyone thought oe this had happened, that we write a letter of apology. However, the Committee reaffirmed its position on the regulations prohibiting non-players on the golf course. It was mentioned that in the past there had been many citizens who followed golfers, placing bets, etc. The fact that non-players also crowd the course, slowing down the game, as well as the element of danger in being hit with a golf ball, was discussed. The Committee Members asked Mr. Davey, the Golf Pro, if these regulations regarding non-players were posted in a prominent place in the clubhouse and Mr, Davey replied that they were. He also stated that many times a golfer will make all arrangements to play and that the children who accompany them will not appear until the golfer is ready to tee off, apparently having been kept in the golfer's automobile until he is ready to play. Apparently, this has been a problem for the employees at the golf courses who wish to carry out the rules without offending any citizens. It was decided that, if a citizen had been offended, a letter should be written to him apologizing for any rudeness, but that the regulations be adhered to. Committee thanked Messrs. Davey and England for coming to the meeting. Mr. Delius told the Committee he would like permission to request a resolution authorizing sick leave amounting to ten days over and above accumulated sick time in the instance of two Parks employees: Mr. Roger 0. Stroupe, Position Number 282, Equipment Operator I, and Mr. Cooper Landers, Position Number 479, Equipment Operator I. He explained that theyhad been faithful employees in the Parks Department and each had experienced a siege of sickness that had used all their sick leave. Committee granted request. The General Manager told the Committee that $6,000.00 additional funds were needed to solve the heating problem in the Reptile House and that Mr. Fred Shepherd, Building Inspector, had concurred in this. Committee authorized request. Dale Creek Park was discussed and the fact that there were very few records on it. Committee authorized a resolution for the City Attorney to have a title report made on this property fronting on the north- easterly side of Dale Creek Drive between Forest Ridge Drive and Collier Ridge Drive in order to determine the property lines. The General Manager told the Committee that the recreation programs the Parks and Recreation Department had attempted to have in the Morningside School area had apparently conflicted with the wishes of residents, including the principal, and that we had been told these citizens didn't want such activities as dances, etc., which would bring about "boy/girl relationships at such an early age," and that after reviewing the complaints with the Recreation staff, had moved the program to Garden Hills where we do have a building. It was thought that if the community should change its opinion, a meeting could be held with all parties involved to work out some type of suitable program. Mr. Delius informed the Committee that the Parks Engineer, Mr. Brindley, had now designed a historical marker for "The Battle of Ezra Church." Originally it had been planned for either Mozley or Anderson Park, but Mr. Delius said he had been told by Mr. Rembert, a former City Services Coordinator for the Dixie Hills area, that there were very strong feelings among young Negroes in that area against the placing of any Civil War markers in these parks. However, Mr., Delius said that he had been advised by Mr. Beverly DuBose that it might be possible to have a small part of Westview Cemetery for this marker and that it would be appropriate since this area was actually a part of the battle. Mr. Delius was asked to contact the proper people to see if this could be done. Mr. Delius presented a letter from Thompson and Hancock Architects regarding the proposed Cyclorama building. The letter stated that both architectural groups that had been selected to work on this project were now in agreement as to just how they would proceed and who would be in charge of the various phases. The letter stated that Mr. R. H. Thompson, of Thompson and Hancock, would be the Project Manager, while Mr. Bill Finch, of Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothchild, and Paschal Architects, would be the Project Architect. The letter stated that the work would be performed at 3033 Maple Drive, Atlanta, Georgia, and that the City would shortly receive another letter with further details. Committee asked Mr. Delius to request a similar letter from the firm of Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothchild, and Paschal Architects stating the same agreements as are stated in the letter from Thompson and Hancock. They also instructed Mr. Delius to ask Mr. Weis Snell, who at the present time is cleaning and restoring the foreground of the Cyclorama, to head up the moving of this ground work whenever the project is far enough along for this to be done, Committee discussed the White Alms House at Chastain Memorial Park and the fact that ballet is still being practiced there despite the condemnation of the building by the City Building Inspector. The General Manager was instructed to write a letter to the Fulton County Manager with copy to go to Mr. Bill Wofford, City Buiiding Inspector, reminding him that the City has condemned the building as being unsafe for such activity, and restating our position that it should be repaired or demolished. Aliso go on record that the City assumes no responsibility for any injuries that may be sustained due to such program. It was thought that the City could be placed in a very embarrassing position if someone should be injured here after the City has condemned ‘the building. The General Manager told the Committee he had received a request from Mr. Charles D. Hurt, Jr., a member of the Junior League of Atlanta, that the City consider converting the old Cyclorama building into a Children's Museum when the new building is finished to house the painting. A possible museum was discussed. The General Manager said he would like to see a new museum along with the new buildings Por the display of Civil War items annrovriate to the painting. Alderms Fowlkes asid it would depend on the cost and that we vould know wor whenaver the architects are able to give us an idea of what it will cost. Committee was of the opinion that it is too early to know what disposition will] be made of the old buildins, eens The Adamsville Health Center was discussed briefly. It was suggested that the’ General Manager might write to the County officials, telling them "the twenty years is up and the City could use the building". | The General Manager told the Committee he was very pleased with the new City Arborist, Mr. C. M. Alexander, and that the Arborist seems to be very tactful in approaching citizens and yet is protective of the trees as well. He stated that we now have the capacity to maintain trees that are planted for downtown beautification and would like to write to the Women's Chamber of Commerce regarding this. Committee was agreeable. Committee again'’discussed the building erected at Chastain Memorial Park by Municipal Theater. The General Manager was asked to determine the exact amount of indebtedness owed on the building by Municipal Theater - the original amount of the debt and how much has been paid, The Aldermen agreed that since Mr. Manos had expressed a strong wish to stay and pay off this debt, that this would probably be the right thing to do. But they voiced very strong opinions to the effect that if Municipal Theater were allowed to stay on in the building, a definite time limit should be set on when they would liquidate this indebtedness. They felt this should be one of the conditions - that perhaps a time limit of no more than five years be stipulated. Mr. Delius informed the Committee that in the meantime, the City Attorney had given the Department of Parks instructions not to allow anyone to do anything at all to the building, even to drive a nail, until this is settled. Mr. Delius mentioned an article that should be framed and put in the new Cyclorama Museum. He explained that this is an untitled piece of poetry written during the Civil War on the back of a Con- federate bill. It was suggested that it be sealed with a water proof plastic or finish by perhaps the Perma- Seal Plaque Company to preserve it. Committee agreed. The Committee went into Executive Session and the golf competition was discussed. Committee agreed to waive the greens fees for the entrants in this event. Mr. Delius told the Committee that Mr. Gene Hay had returned a check in the amount of $277.63 made payable to the City of Atlanta, which represented a refund from the grant of $800.00 made by the Citizens Park Advisory Committee for the Atlanta Golf Team participating in the National Amateur Public Links Championship, He requested permission to deposit this back into City funds. Committee had no objection to this. There being no further business, meeting was adjourned.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Atlanta Parks Department is prepared to assume responsibility for the maintenance of the areas designated in your letter. Mr. Jack Delius, General Manager of Parks, has asked only that his landscape architects be allowed to review and possibly influence the landscaping plans for these properties. The Parks Department staff has suggested these areas be developed with tree planting schemes that would require very little maintenance, We hope that you will go further in acquiring a greater number of partial takes of smaller size assuming the Bureau of Public Roads will approve an expansion of this program.

On November 28th the undersigned, along with the Assistant General Manager of Parke, the Senior Administrative Assistant for Federal Aid, end the City Arborist visited the above location, It was the consensus of opinion that limited Park personnel and equipment could not be diverted from areas already assigned as our responsibiiity to take on additional responsibilities involving property not in ownership by the Depertment of Parks. Furthermore, the elevation of the above site is such that the mere planting of ass, ete, would not enhance the general ares in that from street 11 it would be virtually unnoticed except at the far end of the property. Finally, it was immediately evident to the inspection team that if temporary beautification were attempted on this large tract of land, we would have no recourse other than to continue the practice throughout the entire Stone Mountain Freeway project. I only wish that we had sufficient available manpower to temporarily beautify this location, Beautification is our business, but I say to 700 ee Eanes Sate Bee ae.

Parker State Highway Urban Engineer State Highway Department of Georgia No. 2 Capitol Square Atlanta, Georgia 30334 SUBJECT: I-485-1(43)PE & I-485- 1(06) RWW Fulton County Dear Mr. Parker: Thank you for your letter of October 30, 1969. We are delighted to have the opportunity to cooperate with the State and Federal governments in providing park areas along I-485 in the City of Atlanta. The Atlanta Parks Department is prepared to assume responsibility for the maintenance of the areas designated in your letter. Mr. Jack Delius, General Manager of Parks, has asked only that his landscape architects be allowed to review and possibly influence the landscaping plans for these properties. The Parks Department staff has suggested these areas be developed with tree planting schemes that woulda require very little maintenance, We hope that you will go further in acquiring a greater number of partial takes of smaller size assuming the Bureau of Public Roads will approve an expansion of this program. The Parks Department recognizes the possible benefits to the neighborhoods involved and is willing and anxious to assume responsibility for pat eeneenanee of additional smaller sections along T-405. Mr. Jack Delius will ask the Parks Committee to introduce a resolution to the Board of Aldermen on December 1, 1969, which would authorize a formal agreement from the City of Atlanta to undertake the maintenance of the designated areas as well as other possible areas.

The intent was f or the City of Atlanta t o acquire the remainder of designated parcels of property and develop mini-parks or utilize the property as additions to now existing parks. The purpose of the plan was to better tie the freeway into the existing neighborhoods. The original idea ran into financial problems and could not be advanced, however, we feel the idea is sound and should be undertaken. After investigating the situation, we now find it possible for the State and Federal governments to acquire these parcels as whole takes and actually provide the landscaping of the designated areas as part of the project. The only obligation of the City of Atlanta would be the maintenance of t hese ar eas . To formalize the responsibi litie s in implementing this plan, a f ormal agreement from the City of Atlanta to undertake the maint enance of these areas will be required.

Mr. Dan Sweat, of the Mayor's Office, has been contacted by a planning fixm in Washington who is assisting at this time Mayor Evers of Fayette, Mississippi, in improving community facilities and services in his town. I believe that Mayor Evers is the first and only black Mayor in all of Missiseippi--I may be incorrect about that--but at any rate Mr. Sweat feels that the City should render all possible assistance wherever we ean, Accordingly, at my request, Miss Mims has expressed her willing- nese to travel to Fayette, Mississippi and make on-the-spot recommendations for recreation and park facilities and to review proposals that have already been drawn up by the city of Fayette. I subsequently submitted te your offies the request for travel expenses so Miss Mims could make this trip sometime in the near future. é You possibly could obtain more definitive information on this request by contacting Mr. Sweat, and thank you for your continued good services and favors to this department, I am Cordially, Jack CG.
