Public Accommodations.
Although the 1964 Civil
Rights Act has been an eff ective tool in eliminating discrimination in most businesses serving
_the public, the law is applicable only to firms
engaged in interstate coITuuerc e .
Some Atlanta
businesses not in interstate commerce, such as
trailer-rarks, skating rinks, health spas and
barber shops,discr i minate b e c a use of race.
'I' .

In the o pinion o f t he Commi·ss ion, it is unju s t
for
this small number of businesses to enjoy the prosperity of this g r e a t City while the vast majority
of busines s es are ab iding by the l etter a nd spirit
of the Federal law.

Fair Employment.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act
covers firms with 25 or more employees.
This
leaves thousands of Atlanta citizens without · •
fair employment protection.
Furthermore, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's
backlog of cases in the Southeast is proof that
more action is needed on a local level.
Other
Southern cities such as Miami and Na~hvill~ ·
have found their local fair · employment ordinances to be highly useful in combating discrimination.
The Commission believes that
Atlanta needs an ordina nce with enforceme nt
powers to cover firms with ten or more employees.
In order to enforce effective ly ordinances on public accommodations, contract compliance and fair emp loyment the Commission _
ne e ds subpoena, cease and desist, and other powe rs which may be
n e cessary to implement th e se ordinances.
The Commission recomme nds that th e number of Commission
members b e increased from 20 to 22, with the additiona l two
posit i o ns b e ing designat ed fo r young p e rsons age 22 or under.

SECTION II - TOWN HALL MEETINGS
Immediately after its creation three years ago, CRC instituted a series of Town Hall meetings in disadvantaged areas.
These
meetings gave citizens an opportunity to express their grievances
and City Hall a chance to take remedial action.
CRC benefited
from this program because it gave the Commission a direct involvement with the people in their neighborhoods.

Johnny Robinson's office, duplication of effort exists.
CRC's
main goals are to improve human relationi and to eliminate discriminatioh.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION
SECTION I - LEGISLATION
The Community Relations Commission has been operating for
almost three years under the initial ordinance creating the Commis-
sion. The Commission has been able in many cases to implement suc-
cessfully its duties and functions "to foster mutual understanding,
tolerance, and respect among all economic, social, religious, and
ethnic groups in the Gity." The Board of Aldermen also charged
the Commission with the responsibility "to investigate, discourage
and seek to prevent discriminatory practices against any individ-
ual because a dees, color, creed, religion, national origin or
ancestry." Here the Commission has found that the only tool it
has is that of persuasion. In light of the nature of the dis-
criminatory practices still existing in Atlanta, the Commission
-has found this tool to be inadequate. To do the job the Commis-
sion believes must be done in eliminating discriminatory practices,
local legislative action is needed in the following areas:

ty
1. Public Accommodations. Although the 1964 Civil
Rights Act has been an effective tool in elimi-
nating discrimination in most businesses serving
the public, the law is applicable only to firms
engaged in interstate commerce. Some Atlanta
businesses not in interstate commerce, enti ate
trailer. parks, skating rinks, health spas and
barber shops,discriminate because of race.” “
In the opinion of the Commission, it is unjust for
this small number of businesses to enjoy the pros-
perity of this great City while the vast majority
of businesses are abiding by the letter and spirit
of bie Federal law. The Federal remedial process
is slow, cumbersome and expensive. A local public
accommodations ordinance with Lsvssichk powers
through the municipal courts of Atlanta is needed.
Contract Compliance. In 1967 the Board of Alder-
men enacted Ordinance #31-41.1 making it necessary
for firms contracting with the City to have a non-
discriminatory hiring policy. -Each supplier
certifies he does not discriminate but nothing else
is done to enforce the ordinance. The ordinance
contains no investigatory or enforcement powers.
In 1969, the budget of the City of Atlanta was
$207,000,000. The full implementation of this
ordinance would be an important lever in ending
employment discrimination in Atlanta.

3. Fair Employment. The 1964 Civil Rights Act
covers firms with 25 or more employees. This
leaves thousands of Atlanta citizens without

more action is needed on a local level. Other
Southern cities such as Miami and Nashville i
have found their local fair*‘employment ordi-
nances to be biighiiy useful in conbekiing dis-
crimination. The Commission believes that
Atlanta needs an ordinance with enforcement
powers to cover firms with ten or more employees.
In order to enforce effectively erdtnences on public accommo-
dations, contract compliance and fair employment the Commission.
needs subpoena, cease and desist, and other powers which may be
necessary to implement these ordinances.
The Commission recomnends that the number of Commission
members be increased from 20 to 22, with the additional two
positions Keine designated for young persons age 22 or under.
The Commission asks that the terms for these two youth positions
be rotated yearly for increased youth involvement. The youth
Commissioners are to have full voting rights and powers. They are
to serve on an equal basis with the other Commission members.

The Ordinance creating the Community Relations Commission
states in Sec. 3.8.5.5:
"Pursuant to the named functions and duties of the
Community Relations Commission, it is empowered to
hold hearings and take the testimony of any person
under oath. The Commission, after the completion
of any hearing, shall make a report in writing to
the Mayor setting forth the facts found by it and

during 1969-70. During the last 12 months CRC has worked with 25
companies on their hiring and recruiting practices of minority
persons. The plan for the forthcoming year is to continue working
with these 25 firms and to add 15 new companies.
3. The Commission will work for the elimination of discrim-
ination in Atlanta labor unions, trade associations, and profes-~-
sional organizations.
4, CRC will continue its efforts with an ad hoc oie ues

relations for senior officers, patrolment and new recruits. Efforts
will be made to utilize outstanding sociologists, criminologists,
psychologists, psychiatrists, law enforcement officers and consultants
in Atlanta and elsewhere.
2. The CRC will offer its services to the Police Department in
initiating more training in human relations for the police/community
services officers.
3. CRC will monitor Municipal Courts and make recommendations

1970 PROGRAM PLAN
COMfv'lUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION
SECTION I
LEGISLATION
The Conmmnity Relations Commission has.been operating for
.almost three. years under the initial ordinance creating the Commission.
The Commission has been able in many cases to implement suc-
~essfully its duties and functions "to foster mutual understanding,
tolerance, and respect among all economic , social, religious, and
ethnic groups in the City."
The Board of Aldermen also charged
the C_o rnmission with the responsibility "to investigate, discourage
and seek to prevent discriminatory practices against any individual b e cause of rac e , color, creed, religion, national origin or
---
ancestry.'.'
Here the Com.m ission has foun d that the only tool it
ha s is tha t of per s u asi on.

In light of the nature of the dis-
,
criminatory pra ctice s still e x isting in Atlant a , th e Comm is s ion

s i o n be l ieves must b e d o ne i n elimin a ting disc r imi na tory prac t ic e s,

1.
Public Accommodations.
Although the 1964 Civil
Rights Act has been an effective to~l in eliminating discrimination in most businesses serving
I
the public, the law is applicable only to firms
engaged in interstate commerce.
Some Atlanta
businesses not in interstate commerce, such as
trailer parks, skating rinks, health spas and
barber shops,discriminate because of race.)
In the opinion of the Commission, it is unjust for
this small number of businesses to enjoy the prosperity of this great City while the vast majority
of business es are abiding by the letter and spirit
of the Federal law.
The Federal remedial process
is slow, cumbersome and e x pensive ..
A local public
accomi~odations ordina nce with enforc e me nt powe rs
through the municipal courts of Atlanta is nee ded.

.Fair Employme nt.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act
covers firms with 25 or more employees.
This
1
leaves thousands of Atlanta citizens without
fair employment protection.
Furthermore, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's
backlog of cases in the Southeast is proof that
more action is needed on a local level.
Other
Southern cities such as Miami and Nashvill~
~
have found their local fair employment ordinances to be highly useful in combating discrimination.
The Commission believes that
Atlanta needs an ordinance with enforcement
powers to cover firms with ten or more employees.
~-==,
In order to enforce effectively ordinances on public accommo-
!
dations, contract compliance and fair employment the Commission
J
needs subpoena, cease and desist, and other powers which may be
,.
"'. ~ ·
necessary to implement these ordinances.
The Commission recommends that the number ·of Commission /~(,/) /
v(1/
members be increased from 20 to 22, with the additional two «::_
positions being designated for young persons age 22 or under.
The Commission asks that the terms for these two youTthhepybosuitt-hion_s

SECTION II - TOWN HALL .MEETINGS
Immediately afte r its creation three years ago, CRC instituted a series of Town Hall meetings in disadvantage,d areas.
Thesy
~
meetings gave citizens an opportunity to e x press their grievances
and City Hall a chance to take remedial action.

CRC benefited
from this progra m because it gave the Commission a direct involve-JJY~ "L,

the Commission with the responsibility "to investigate, discourage
and seek to prevent discriminatory practices against any individ-
ual because of race, color, creed, PE LgRSR Kakionel, orieii or
ancestry." Here the Commission has found that the only tool it
has ie Bhat of persuasion. In light of the nature of the dis-
criminatory practices still existing in Atlanta, the Commission
has found this tool to be inadequate. To do the job the Commis-
@isn believes must be done in eliminating discriminatory practices,
local legislative action is needed in the following areas:

-
Public Accommodations. Although the 1964 Civil

is slow, cumbersome and expensive... A local public
accommodations ordinance with enforcement powers
through the municipal courts of Atlanta is needed.
Contract Compliance. In 1967 the Board of Alder-
Cob
men enacted Ordinance #31-41.1 making it necessary cr bs
for firms contracting with the City to have a non- cpt ‘
discriminatory hiring policy. Each supplier Ae
certifies he does not discriminate but nothing else
is done to enforce the ordinance. The ordinance
contains no investigatory or enforcement powers.
In 1969, the budget of the City of Atlanta was
$207,000,000. The full implementation of this
ordinance would be an important lever in ending
employment discrimination in Atlanta.

SECTION VIII - PUBLIC INFORMATION
1. CRC will strive to further its public information role
by working closely with all news media and having members and staff
speak to church and civic groups. It is the wish of the staff
to involve more intensively Commission members in public speaking
roles.
| The staff will make personal calls on television stations

reflect a wide range of experience and view points in the human
relations field. |
2. Special effort will be made to ChaeantPaKE on the human

| SECTION XI - REACTION TO CRISIS
|
CRC 's foremost function is to identify and eliminate discrim-
ination in Atlanta. If this job is done, civil disorders will be
minimized. However a master plan needs to be developed outlining
what CRC should do in event of a racial crisis. For example:
1. The operation of Rumor Control.
2. The organization of “Interfaith Mobilization",
a group of Atlanta ministers trained to act as
observers and reporters at hospitals and police
stations. |
-3. The identification of a list of community leaders
who can be called on for specific assignments.

There was
However, the general consensus was that
the City Services were not responding well enough to complaints by area residents.
The Atlanta Housing Authority, according to Miss Sowell, does not respond at all.
.
.
.
However,- the Housing Code Department was commended by Mr. Christenberry and
Miss Sowell.
This was not the case with Mr. Menez, who feels the department is
"not only inadequate, but also poorly administered 11 •
Mr. Isaac reported that the Police Department is· doing well in Central City, but
Mr. Christenberry, Mr. Menez, and Miss Sowell reported very poor response.
Mr.
Christenberry was told that the Police D epartment did net knov.r to return route sheets;
howev er , that is not b e liev e d.
In most areas they have shown poor response on
pick-up of junk cars:
Only Mr. Isaac mentioned Public Works.
He noted only one third response.
The Recreation D e partm e nt was commented on by Miss Woodward and Mr. Menez.
Mr. Menez stated that the Recreation Department was not only hampered by lack
of e quipment, but its unsystematic s yste m allows for i!1consistenc y.
Miss Woodward
was more explicit, stating that recreation "app ears to suffer not in quanity but in
quality".
Since this is Atlanta's third y ear of exp a nd e d summer r ecreation , she feels
that " one would exp e ct to find a ctivities with carry ov e r values 11 •

The Sanitation Department came in for quite a bit of com1neint.
Miss Sowell, Miss
Woodward, and Mr. Isaac had reasonably good e x periences with this department.
Mostly their request had been answered promptly.
Miss Sowell stated that the
quick response on the trash barrels gives tangible evidence of the City's concern.
Thus this service of the Sanitation Department is invaluable.
Miss Woodward
states tha"t ther·e· is such· high c·onfideri~e in the department and in Mr.· Hulsey in ·
West End that citizens there usually call Mr. Hulsey directly with their complaints.
Not all opinions of the Sanitation Department are good.
Mr. Christenberry reports
poor pick-up of junk cars by this departme n t, especially if the car has not been
tagged by the City Service Coordinator.
Mr. Menez feels the departments "output

She felt this type of reply did more

Mr, Isaac reported answers to all five route sheets sent to Traffic

Thus of the four comments on this department, only Mr. Isaac was
satisfied.
RECOMMENDATIONS
There were several types of recommendations which appeared often in the intern
evaluations. · These were concerned mainly with the City Services Coordinator, ·
junk cars, and the establishment of a central tel ephone nurn.ber or office.
Although
many recommendations were quite si1nilar each wa s p:resented from a slightly
different viewpoint.
The recommendations conc erning the City S ervi c e s Coordinators cent ere d around
the number of coordinators and their duties,
Miss Sowell, Mr. Isaac, and Mr.
Bement recommend that the re be one City S ervice Coordinator per target area.
I•
Others , such as Christenb err y, Mrs. Snider, and Miss vVoodward felt that more
City S e rvice Coordinators should be hired 11 •
Mr. Christenberry su ggested that
since the City Service Coo r dinator's do public relations work anyway, the
11
e x pens ive,
blu e-ribb on b e d ecked Community Rel a tions Commission 11 could be abolished and
the commission 1 s money be used for more City S ervice Coordina tors .

All of this involves
Mr. Christenberry feels

the whole system whose job is to better integrate existing services and develop
ne~ services as they see .fit 11 •
They should have the po\ver to "recommend
revisions in and additions to the city codes in their respective areas 11 •
Mr.
Bement saw the coordinator: s job as that of a "city-man in the ghetto; touching,
listening, stimulating, teaching, reporting " .
Miss Sowell believes the City
S ervice Coordinators could perform a broader coordi nating function between the
va.1~i 0LLS groups en h.is (or her) area.
Those were not the only recommendations pertaining to City Service Coordinators.
Mr. Christ enberry wants all City Service Coordinators (both present coordinators
and all future ones ) to sp e nd tim e w ith experienc e d coordinators, le arning methods
of "handling 'routine ' community proble ms".
He also fee ls that all City S e rvic e
Coordinators should have a per sonal knowledge of the operation of all city departments.
Mr. Isaac recommended tha t the coordinators b e publicized in th e community.
Miss Sowell suggeste d that re g ul ar

ideal of a City Service Coordinator, but with the reality.
A large number of recommendations concerned centralization.

Mr. Bement suggested
He also suggested
.a cent~al City Services intake . and Routing Office containing one or two complaint
desks from each department.
This would expand the Community Development Office's
· coordinating function by enabling departments to work together on problems not
"apropos II to any one department.
Mrs. Snider also felt a central information
service for field personnel was needed.
Under her plan, the Community Develop-
ment Office could become a central coordinating a ge ncy for target area groups who
might need supplies or other help and those churches, busine sses, etc., who rr1igh:
like to help such groups.
A centralized publicized telephone number was also
recommended by lvlr. Isaac.
Miss Woodward suggested a central complaint depart-
ment similar to that of Mr. Bement, but not included as a part of the Community
Development Office.
In the complaint department there would be a central real-time
information bank and "exceptions 11 crews to investigate a11 types of complaints.

Junk cars were the object of many of Mr. Christenberry 1 s and Mr. Menez's
recommendations.
Both felt that only one department of the City should have
re spons ibility for removal of junk cars, rather than both Sanitary and Police.
Menez suggested that this single ag ency be the Sanitary Department.
Both felt that
manpower in Sanitary should be increased; Christenberry suggesting that these

An additional suggestion made by Mr. Christenberry was to assign personnel from
the Community Development Office to work with Rex Honeycutt of Sanitary in the
development of a profitable system for handling jul"'..ked cars.
In other words, these
intern recommendations were concerned with increasing the efficiency of junk car
removal.
Although the above are the major types of groupings of intern recommendations, there
were many more. - Mrs. Snider and Miss Woodward suggested "little City Halls".
Miss Woodward also sugg e sted a social research and planning staff which would .

Miss Sowell and Mrs. Snider felt thathi gh l evel p ressure (i.e., Mayor Alle n)

Several sugg es tions were made with regard to p ers onnel.

Mr. Christenberry also suggested increasing the number

their property, giving recognition to the Housing Code Department for its fine
performance, making a concentrated effort in one area in the hope that changes
in crime, property values, etc.

The "Sidewalks Department" was commended by Mr. Isaac who stated that he has

Miss Sowell reports Street Maintenance as being prompt in replying. However, she
feels they should have informed this office that no additional paving could be done.
The Traffic Engineering Department did not please Miss Sowell, Mrs. Snider, or
Mr. Menez. Miss Sowell felt they should have notified the Community Development

ATLANTA COMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION
Report of Special Committee to Investigate OEO Funding
Mr. Irving Kaler, Chairman,
Community Relations Commission.
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Your committee to investigate supplementary funding possibilities for the
Atlanta Community Relations Commission has completed its work and makes
herewith its report. Members of this committee were Al Kuettner, Chriaman;
Cc. G. Ezzard, James O. Moore, Hamilton Douglas and T. M. Alexander, Sr.
The committee held two lengthy meetings and was in corresponaence with the
eifice of Mayor Ivan Allen; “r. Charles Emmerich, director of Hqual
Opportunity Atlanta; Mr. Richard Granat of the Office of Economic
Oppertunity in Washington, and with the city planning firm of Candeub,
Fleissig and Associates in Atlanta.
The committee has asce#tained the following information:
1. Mr. Granat advises that his office will be happy to discuss any
proposal we might have, either informally or on the basis of a formal
submission of a project. He points out that an earlier-contemplated fund
for fair housing operation is not presently available because of a severe
cutback in all such funds, but he indicates that OEO will be glad to work
with us to every extent possible. He suggests that we deal directly with
the Atlanta office.
2. Mr. Emmerich has advised that his office will cooperate ful.y with
eur Commission on specific projects and the Committee feels that we
sheuld call upen this office for long range planning and action.
3. The city of Atlanta has received a $23,000 grant from the Stern Family
Fund for the purpose of staffing the mayor's office with special help so
as to develop strategy and action for mobilizing the city's forces to
attack problems of the slums. ‘The city is moving ahead on this project
and has an @mploye for the work. Letter is attached to this report as
well as a resume of the Stern Family Fund.
4, Mr. Harvey Friedman, Chairman of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights
Under Law, Washington, D. C., has been contacted. He says his agency will
be glad to work with us, initially an an adwisory capacity. This is a very
significant committee of tep lawyers.
5. Our Committee is of the opinien that funds can be obtained for specific
projects, based en detailed phans and program. It is the committee's
recommendation that projects be planned in order of priority, these projects
then te be submitted to the proper agency for funding. It is the concensus of
the committee that long range planning, fact finding and programping must
ceme ahead of efforts te fund the programs<
a, g we. Pag
Al-Kuettner, Chairman
For the Committee.

COMMUNITY-RELATIONS COMMISSION
MINUTES
J ANUARY 2 7, 196 7
Members of the Community Relations Commission met on Friday, January 27,
1967, at 1:30 p. m. in City Hall. The following members were present:
Mr. Irving Kaler, Chairman
Rev. Samuel Williams, First Vice Chairman
Miss Helen Bullard, Second Vice Chairman
Mrs. Fred Patterson, Secretary
Mr. T. M. Alex ander, Sr.
Mrs. Sara Baker
Mr. C. G. Ezzard
Rev. Joseph L. Griggs
Mr. Joseph Haas
Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan
Mr. Al Kuettne r
Mr. Rolland Maxwell
Rabbi Jacob M. Rothschild
Mr. M. 0. Ryan
Mrs. Mary Stephens
Upon motion duly made, seconded and unani.mously passed, the minutes of the
previous meeting we re adopted as submitted.
Mrs. Patterson read the minutes of the meeting of the E xe cutive Committee
held on Friday, January 20, 1967, and the Commission members discussed
th e business arising from this meeting.
Rev. Samuel Williams, Chairman of the committee to select the E xec utive
Director, reported that Mrs. Eliza Paschall had been recommended to serve
as the E xecutive Director and moved the approval of this recommendation.
Upon motion duly made, seconded and passed, it was RESOLVED to accept
the Committee's recommendation and request the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen to approve the appointment of Mrs. Paschall as Executive
Director at a salary of $12, 500 per annum.
The Commission then discussed the advisability of establishing a tenure of
service. Upon motion duly made, seconded and passed it was RESOLVED
that the selection of the Executive Director be for a period of one year subject
to termination upon six ty (60) days notice on a majority vote of the full
Commission.
�Page Two
The Chairman then asked Mr. Al Kuettner, Chairman of the Special Committee
to Investigate OEO Funding, to give the Committee I s report at this time.
A copy of Mr. Kuettner's report is attached and made a part of these minutes
(Attachment A). Mr. Kuettner recommended that early in the operations of
the Commission a standing committee be established to work closely with
Mr. C. 0. Emmerich, Administrator of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.,
to follow through on this report.
Mr. Kaler then asked the Commission to consider two recommendations
adopted by the Executive Committee:
1.
That any member of the Commission who is absent from three
consecutive meetings without valid reason be replaced by the Mayor
on request of the Commission.
2.
That the time of the monthly meetings of the Commission be
established on the fourth Friday of each month to commence
at 1: 30 p. m. at City Hall.
Both of these recommendations were unanimously approved by the Commission.
The Chairman officially welcomed two new members, Mr. Rolland Maxwell
and Mr. M. 0. "Buzz Ryan, to the body and expressed the pleasure of the
Commission on their appointments.
Rabbi Jacob Rothschild made the following announcement at this time. The
Temple is celebrating its 100th Anniversary and the Congregation wishes
to make some contribution to the City. Therefore, the Congregation has
set aside a trust fund in the amount of $5,000, the proceeds of which will
be turned over to the Community Relations Commission for the purpose of
establishing and giving a good citizenship award to an individual or group
who best carries out the spirit and purpose of the Commission. The Rabbi
presented this to the Commission as a projected gift from the Congregation
with the understanding that the responsibility for selection of the award will
be left to the Commission. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously
passed it was RESOLVED that this gift b e accepted and that an appropriate
. letter of appreciation be sent to the Congregation. The Commission members
expre ss ed their gratitude for the gift and the interest of The T empl e.
Miss Helen Bullard, Chairman of the Program Committe e, presented the
Committee I s report to the Commission, a copy of which is attached and made
a part of these minutes (Attachment B). The Commission discussed this report
�Page Three
at great length and adopted the Committee I s recommendations with the
following changes:
1.
Section 3 in the Preface was revised to read as follows: 11 That the
Commission wherever possible avoid duplicating any function that
is already being satisfactorily performed by an already established
agency or group and further that its efforts be channeled in the areas
of implementation rather than mere fact finding."
2.
The listing of the survey areas in the Program I section was revised
to read as follows. These areas will be listed according to priority
after consultation with the Executive Director.
a. Blue Heaven
b. Cabbage Town
c. Mechanicsville and Pittsburgh

Mr. Massell expressed his pleasure in seeing this Commission become a
reality and told the group of the earlier meetings and committees preceding
this Commission. He made the following recommendations for the Commission's
consideration as their program is established:
l. Consideration of those individuals considered for membership on the
Commission and those who have expressed interest in assisting in this
work for utilization in advisory committees or similar capacities.
2. Amass meeting with representatives of the disadvantaged neighborhoods
in an attempt to catalog the grievances in the community.
3. A conference or consulting session with the professional representatives
of the local human relations groups to benefit from their experiences
and ideas,
4, Inquire into the possibility of an Office of Economic Opportunity grant
possibly in the amount of $130, 000 to establish a fair housing center in
Atlanta,
Mr. John Field, Director of the Community Relations Service of the U. S.
Conference of Mayors, spoke to the group regarding his experiences and
observations of the activities and undertakings of other commissions around
the country. He stated that these groups played various roles in each
community including such things as performing advisory functions for the
governing bodies, handling complaints and grievances, acting as mediators,
and reviewing and monitoring the functions of government to insure demo-
cratic participation. He then reviewed some of the methods and techniques
used by other groups. He told the members they must now decide what role
this Commission is going to play in the community. The Commission must
decide whether it is going to try to do the work itself or see that it is carried
out by another group and to what extent the Commission will participate when
other existing agencies can handle the problem. He stated the necessity is
not to displace other agencies but to work with them.
The Commission members then proceeded with their business session,
Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously passed the Commission
agreed to follow Roberts Rules of Order for the conduct of all meetings.
The group next considered the election of officers of the Commission, Upon

this Comn,i ssion. He made the following recommendations for the Commission's
conside ration as their program is established:

3.
A conference or consulting session with the professional representatives
of the local human relations groups to benefit from their experiences
and ideas.
4,
Inquire into the possibility of an Office of Economic Opportunity grant

Mr. John Field, Director of the Community Relations Service of the U. S.
Conference of Mayors, spoke to the group regarding his experiences and
observations of the activities and undertakings of other commissions around

used by other groups . He told the members they must now decide what role
