Davis Comptroller City of Atlanta itlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Charles: Thank you for your letter of December 30, 1966 regarding your review of a copy of the proposed Urban Beautification Grant Application which has been prepared by the Planning Department. it is certainly true that 6 major part of the City's total share is the progrem of Park renovation and no provision has been made or anticipated to finance the Park partici- paticn cut of Park Immrovement funds. I informed the Planning Department thet we anticipated a rebate of approximately $110,000 from three Open Space Development Grants which héve been approved by HUD. However, it mey well be that thé Aldermanic Parks Committee would deem it more appropriate that this rcbate be spent on Phase Il of Thomasville, Gun Club, University, etc. or on Phase I of Cleveland, Tull Waters, Empire Boulevard, etc. You mentioned the C. W. Hill Park Site. I don't yet know whether we are expected to buy the lend or whether it will be donated, nor do I know the remifications of the federel assistance programs pertaining to donations or purchsse. You are in error, however, in that we do have $75,000 ear- merked for the development of the Rockdale Urban Renewai Park. Since we have only 1/4 Mill income and this yields apporoxi- mately $300,000 a year, it scems nearly fruitless to count on completing the ten neighborhood parks and the four urban renewal sites recently acquired within any reasonable length of time. Mr. Charles L. Davis January 10, 1967 Page Two I too recognize the desirability and appeal of the Urban Beautification Program not only because of the reasons you have stated but due to the fact it is the only assistance program I know of that will enable us to renovate old parks not scquired under the Open Space plans.

Atlanta, Georgia 30305 Dear Mr. Snitzer: Thank you for your letter of January 5, 1967. I do not recall making any promises to you regarding the enlargement of the parking lot at Bobby Jones Golf Course. I can state however, that the Aldermanic Parks Committee and the Citizens Park Advisory Committee neither saw fit to appropriate or authorize any funds for this project. I believe in the final analysis what you would like to accomplish is to ve parking from the street and this is not a "golf function". We have already built a parking lot and if the people refuse to use it and the Traffic Engineer has done all he can in terms of signing the street whatelse can I do? The City was good enough to provide me with minimum funds te employ an architect to study the restoration of the Bobby Jones Golf Club House. Keep in tind I am not promising you at this time that we will do the work. We are merely employing the architect and hope that funds to do the work will materialize.

DELIUS GENERA L MANAGER Mr. Charles L . .:Javis Comptroller City of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: EOl'. 1 s Recreation Funds Dear Charles: l--.s you know by now , Economic Or;portuni ty Atlanta has had slashed from their budget appropriation all funds pertaining to Recreation and therefore cancelled as of December 31, 1966 the three separate and distinct contracts under whi ch this department of City Government carried out specialized recreation programs. These programs were namely the Nei ghborhood Playlot frogram, Summer Recreation and Job Opportunity for Youth (Operation Champ), and recreation for senior high rise apartment dwellers. It is the opinion of the undersigned and Miss Carmichael that the neighborhood playlot program takes priority over the two other projects. This opinion is one shared in b y Mayor Allen . The number of playlots continues to grow as we attempt to meet the needs and demands of citi zen s in deprived areas . It is anticipated that we wi ll shortly have a total of twenty- one neighborhood playlots, tNo of ,,,hich involve the renting of dwellings for a year-round type operation. Si nce the cancellation of EOA funds, ,..,.e have continued operating a few of t h ese play lots on a part -time basis , good ;reather permitting. The ba si c expense involved is one of salaries and the rather substantial expense of renting outdoor toilets. Salari e s a re being charged to account 780C, Extra Help, Umpires, etc. and the renting of the portable johns is being charged to 771C. Account 780C does not contain sufficient appropriations to carry on a full time summer program at these twenty-one locations. 1 For your information, the following playlots either exist or are under construction or in the negotiating stage; �Mr. Charles L.

This four man crew consists of a Fark Foreman II, (2) Labor Foremen II, and (1) Laborer. They are paid straight overtime on the basis of a Park Foreman II, Equipment Operator I, Labor Foreman II, and one Laborer's pay. I would suggest this arrangement be main- tained since most personnel declined to work overtime and these individuals are willing to work. Park Foreman II earn $3.53 per hour; the Equipment Operator I is paid $1.88 per hour; Labor Foreman II is paid $2.33 per hour; and the Laborer is paid $1.59 per hour.

Je ask that you make this money available in unnumbered positions for the individuals involved in the operation of the playlots and we also ask that you authorize expenses for automobile allowance amounting to $159.36. fe will make every possible effort to absorr the additional cost for games and supplies which we will charge to Account 771C; for maintenance to the lots which we will charge to Account $13C; for equipment which we will charge to Account 570C; for special projects expense which we will charge to Account 771°; and, for rentals which we will charge to /.ccount 771C. ‘Te will be as conservative as possible but these are the’ figures arrived at after careful consideration and we are advising you of the financial aspect at the earliest time possible. Although Mayor Allen made no committment as to supporting us in our desire for additional funds for carrying on the neighborhood playlot program I believe I am at liberty as quoting him as saying to "Do your very best to carry out this top priority project and if you get into an impossible situation financially, let me know, and perhaps some emergency appropriations can be made, etc. ..." The above appears to solve the problem of summer operations but leaves unanswered the long and heautiful fall and spring days - and for that matter some winter days - when the play- lots should be operated. In addition, it appears we will have two houses rented which will operate the year-round as Recreation Centers in conjunction with the playlot program. ‘fe must arrive at some solution as how to fund the salary, supply and rental — utility expenses involved.

Dear Mr. Mohr: In response to your telephone call on Wednesday, February 8, Iam attaching a sheet with the run-down of parks acquired under the Open Space Program, total acreage, and annual anticipated participation. The Parks and Recreation Division compiled these figures on the basis of actual programs in six parks which are partially developed and by estimated annual participation figures of undeveloped parks. The figures on anticipated participation were developed from actual participation figures of existing recreation programs in established parks using all aspects of public recreation. Some examples of types of recreation used are: low organized games, organized athletics and league play, music, dancing, arts and crafts, teen clubs, Golden Age activities, camping, etc. Six of the parks acquired under the Open Space Program are partially developed and serving the public now. In addition, the Parks Department currently has under development in 1967 Cleveland Avenue, Benteen, Shady Valley, Waters, Collier Driver, and Empire Boulevard Parks. After calendar year 1967 only two parks will remain with no development, Gun Club and Browns Mill. Planning for the development of these two TT Eee Mr. Mohr Page Two February 10, 1967 parks is going ahead and they will be scheduled for development at an early date.

Atlanta, Georgia 30317 Dear Mr. Flanigen: Thank you very much for my copy of your letter to Mr. Leftwich of February 8, 1967 dealing with the needs at the Wesley Avenue Park. Several months ago, Alderman 9. V. Williamson and Alderman Buddy Fowlkes and the under&&gned met with citizens of the Wesley Avenue area and discussed the needs of the park. We explained to them that the Capital Improvement Budget would ke made up shortly after January 1, and we would do our very best to in- clude some funds for Wesley Avenue. Our total Park Improvement Budget available for Capital Improvements is only $302,590. It was not possible to finance the Community Recreation Building for Wesley Avenue during fiscal 1967; however, $10,500 was allo- cated for fencing ($2500) and lighting of the baseball field ($8000). We were able to out of some surplus in our 1966 Budget to buy lights for the multiple use court and tennis area in the park. By copy of this letter, I am asking Miss Virginia Carmichael, Director of Recreation, to advise you as to the type of leader- ship and supervised recreation being offered in this neighborhood. As to the condition of the perk being deficient, mainly, because the wash of water to the area brings dirt and debris, I would like to explain that a private Landscape Contractor planted the entire three times in grass without success. We were finally able to analyze the fact that the ground originally was occupied by a ferti- lizer manufacturing company and the chemical content was toxic towards the soil. We feel this coming spring, that the excessive chemicals will lea out, and we will be able to esbablish a good stand of grass. ee  a et a ii tennant reiterate anaemia a Hon. J. M.

Our workers have actually been shot at on two separate occasions while doing survey work within the park and our Labor Foreman was chased through the park by a local citizen who was suffering from the effects of glue sniffing.
