According to the City of Atlanta Police Department, 368 juvenile offenses were committed in December 1968, The Children and Youth Services Council is charged with the re- sponsibility of preventing these acts before they become statis- tics. To that end, we are proposing a series of public service announcements to be carried by the mass media centering around several important DO'S and DON'TS at Christmas. We are includ- ing a brief outline as to how this can be done ond what materials could possibly be used. To augment the thoughts we have, and to receive the benefits of your thinking on the project, we are calling a meeting of several | key agencies affected by this problem. At this meeting we hope to ''firm up'' plans so as to make maximum use of any TV and Radio time we can get.

These preposals are as follows; 1. Absenteeism Project 2. Central Coordination Services for Model Cities Youth 3, Juvenile Delinquency Prevention 4%, United Youth Outreach and the Nodel Cities branch of the Atlanta Youth Congresa, It is my understanding that these projeets were a part of the total pro= grams submitted to and approved by HUD, Last April, Jerry Luxemburger and John Cox appeared before the Review Beard and as I understand, questions were raised concerning the Absenteeism Pro- _§jeet, whereupon it was decided that thia particular project should be operated by the Public Sehools and the others were approved by the Review Board and considered to “be all right", It is my further understanding that Jerry Luxemburger met with Dan Sweat to obtain your general position concerning the Youth Council prejectsa, at which time Jerry was informed that all these projects were approved by you exeept the Absenteeism Project. oa Qan The most important proposal submitted was our Juvenile Deldnquency Program. This as you remember, is the very purpose for which the Council was created. You may not know that the Model Cities area, accounting for only a fraction of the city's population of children (less than 4%) accounts for a sub- stantial percentage (17%) of the city's juvenile delinquency. The Youth Council Beard has heard that the Juvenile Delinquency Program is proposed te be deleted from the list ef funded projects, We again request, as we did last spring, a hearing with respect to this and our other pro- grans be rescinded.

Second , I concluded that the Executive Director of the Council should be also subject to the direction and supervision of the Mayor ' s Chief of Staff and should attend staff meetings of Mayor Office personnel and keep the Chief Administrator in the Mayor ' s Office apprised of what the Council is doing as well as being available and subject to the supervision and direction of that person to do special task• assigned by him in the area of children and youth. I am not clear how this will be shown on the organization charts, but I do know that working relationships are more important than organizational lines of responsibility .

First, I concluded that the supervision of the Executive Director, the initiation of Council activities, and the approval of policies and programs suggested by the Director would continue to come from the Board of Directors of the Council. Second, I concluded that the Executive Director of the Council should be also subject to the direction and supervision of the Mayor's Chief of Staff and should attend staff meetings of Mayor Office personnel and keep the Chief Administrator in the Mayor's Office apprised of what the Council is doing as well as being available and subject to the supervision and direction of that person to do special taske assigned by him in the area of children and youth. Iam not clear how this will be shown on the organization charts, but I do know that working relationships are more important than organizational lines of responsibility. I would hope that the result would be that you would gain a valuable assistant and the Council would gain a valuable affiliation. Please let me know if you object to my instructing Lewis Dénkins or his successor on the basis of these concludions.

OPEN LETTER TO MAYORS Last year, more than 675,000 youths chose not to stay in school. They joined another two million dropouts already in the youth population, nearly half of whom were unemployed. One mayor of a large city is mailing personal letters to 3,000 dropouts or potential dropouts in his com- munity this summer, urging them to return to school. The letter is being followed by an advertising campaign and personal visits to the young people by community volunteers. You can help by focusing community attention on the subject, whether through proclamation, press release, personal letter, or other means. Employers should be encouraged to offer part-time employment to those youth who need it to stay in school. You may wish to formulate special community efforts to locate part-time work in city agencies. Thank you for your assistance.
