City of Atlanta :

824 Hurt Building

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Satterfield:

Subject: Project No. Ga. A-2
Acquisition of "Hardship" or “Opportunity”
Parcels in NDP s : z

Mr. Howard Openshaw has asked as to our policy on the use of project
funds under a Neighborhood Development Program for the acquisition
during the "Action Year" of land not scheduled for acquisition during
that year. His specific question relates to the acquisition of about
40 scattered parcels on which are vacant, dilapidated structures,
located in the Bedford-Pine area, The Activity Program for the NDP
anticipated that these parcels would not be acquired this year, but
instead in a subsequent year.

The NDP offers flexibility in the acquisition of land, so that an LPA
can purchase land in hardship cases or opportunity cases, even though
the land was not scheduled for acquisition in the Action Year. A
contingency amount is put in the annual budget for this purpose.

Of course, no land can be purchased unless it meets the area eligibility
requirements of Georgia and Federal law, and unless it is in an area

for which there is an urban renewal plan which has been approved locally
and by HUD. The Bedford-Pine area meets these requirements; most other
areas in Atlanta's NDP do not.

We believe that the money in an NDP as a contingency for land acquisition,
and even money included for land acquisition in specified areas, may be
used for purchasing parcels not designated for acquisition in the Action
Year. However, such parcels must be either "hardship" or “opportunity”
parcels, and the owners must be willing to sell for the offering price;
eminent domain should not be used for policy reasons.
=Je

You should obtain our approval for the purchase of each of the "hard-
ship" or “opportunity” parcels. Our approval will authorize your
securing appraisals and a title search of the property and its purchase
later, at a concurred-in price. We will follow a liberal policy in
granting approvals, and will not superimpose ow judgment as to what
constitutes a “hardship” or “opportunity” on the judgment of your
Authority. Nonetheless, we must determine that the acquisition of
these parcels does not take money, staff time, relocation housing, or
other resources to such an extent that the programmed accomplishments
of the Action Year cannot be met. .

This policy should provide sufficient latitude for your Authority to
change its acquisition program to meet changed circumstances during the
year. ’

Dear Edwin :
Please express my regrets that I cannot be present at the
dinner honoring M . B . Satterfield £or hi years of service on
the Atlanta Housing Authority, and his additional years of service
in the low income housing field beginning with the Techwood
Project in Atlanta in 1936.
I am sure that Satt has a warm feeling of real accomplishment
when he looks back over the years of his satisfactory work in
providing housing for the, poor . All of the gQod that he has done
could be multiplied by the number of day of pleas nt existence
which thousand of Atlanta families have enjoyed.
Atlanta stand
t the very top in America in recognizing the
fundamental need for low in0.ome housing . On a relative basi ,
we have out tdpped the other national cities in building the e
fine unit ; and, Mr. S tterfield has been the Executive Director
during this period of greatest accomplishment, and he i entitled
to the grateful appreciation of the· people of tl nta.
Please expre
my gratitude, per onally nd offici lly, to Satt
for hi m jor contribution during the e dynamic ye rs.
Sincerely,
Ivan Allen, Jr.

Re: 6 Multi-family Building Lots
West End Urban Redevelopment Area
Project Georgia R-90

Gentlemen:

We are attaching a sales brochure which gives the details of
this new offering of six fully developed multi-family building
lots in our West End Urban Redevelopment Area. The sizes vary
from 2 permitted-units to 76.

Proposals for the purchase and redevelopment of one or more of
these lots are to opened at 10:00 A. M. o'clock on March 25,
1969. If acceptable proposals for all of these lots are not
received, we shall continue to receive proposals and to open
them as received for a period of twelve months or until all of
these lots are sold. Proposals must be made on our forms which
are available upon request.

The pre-established sales prices as set forth in the sales bro-
chure are very reasonable and are the values that will be attrib-
uted to the lots for FHA mortgage insurance purposes.

If you would like the proposal forms or need additional informa-
tion, please advise us. =

Remember, we shall gladly pay a sales commission in accordance
with the schedule suggested by the Atlanta Real Estate Board.

Very truly yours,

ae a

STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

OF FULTON COUNTY ;

The repeated attacks by Mayor Allen criticizing the Fulton
County Government for failure to develop a low-cost housing program
are unfortunate, unfair and unjustified. They come at a time when
City-County cooperation is at an aaistina high and many joint projects
are being planned for the future by the two governments.

Low-cost housing is largely a problem where masses of people
reside. In spite of that, however, the Fulton County Commissioners
have on two occasions, met with committees from the Atlanta Housing
Authority and Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. It is a matter of re-
cord that at both times, we told these representatives that we
would like to cooperate insofar as we could and that we certainly
had an open mind as far as low-cost housing is concerned. We asked
both groups to indicate areas where they thought public housing in

the County should be considered. As yet, this has not been done.

Dear Mayor Allen:
I want to thank you for the intervie w on urban renewal which I had
with you during my recent visit to Atlanta over the Christmas holidays.
Your summary ·!Of w.l::a t urban renewal is a ccomplishing in Atlan'la am some of
the problems it is encountering is most helpful in my project on the history of the program.
I also appreciate the discussions I had with Mr. Sweat, Col. Jones, and
Mr. Satterfield and other staff of the Housing Authority. I have just finished ccnverting my notes to tape and find that these discussions, together
with the writt en materials furnished me, give me a current and comprehensive
view of the Atlanta urban renewal program.
Anyone who has been to Atlantaat d.if ferent t ime s over the l a st quarter
century, as I have, cannot fail to be impressed by the tremendous progress
that ha s been made in both the city's phJrsical and social development. The
priIIl2ry role that you have assigned to urban renewal is therefore most
gratifyills.
This i s particularly so in view of the atta cl{S which have been
leveled against the program in the last seve ral years.
The mos t r ecent is the chapter, "From Slum Clearance to Urban Renewal, 11
in the report of the National Commission on Urban Problems, whic h ha s just
been released. I understand that this chapter was written personally by
Senator ~ aul Dougl as, chairman of t he Commissicn. Unfortu nately Senator
Douglas ' s attack is based :in large part on a di storted and inaccurate
version of the l egislative history of the program. ~ conclusion is based
on the opinions of others mo participated in this history, my observations
over two decades of close participation in the legislative and policy development of the program, and the review of events leading to the original
enactment in 1949 which I have just concluded as part of my project.
Programs like t.ha t in Atlanta an:i the support they have frcm the
community are undoubtedly better answers to that kind of criticism than
any attempts I or others can make to straighten out the reoord. So
I wish you and your associates continued success in your new efforts
midl have ju st been announced.

Dear Mayor Allen:

I want to thank you for the interview on urban renewal which I had
with you during my recent visit to Atlanta over the Christmas holidays.
Your summary wf what urban renewal is accomplishing in Atlanta ard some of
the problems it is encountering is most helpful in my project on the his-
tory of the program.

I also appreciate the discussions I had with Mr. Sweat, Col. Jones, and
Mr. Satterfield and other staff of the Housing Authority. I have just fin-
ished converting my notes to tape and find that these discussions, together
with the written materials furnished me, give me a current and comprehensive
view of the Atlanta urban renewal program.

Anyone who has been to Atlantaat different times over the last quarter
century, as I have, cannot fail to be impressed by the tremendous progress
that has been made in both the city's physical and social development. The
primzry role that you have assigned to urban renewal is therefore most
gratifying. This is particularly so in view of the attacks which have been
leveled against the program in the last several years.

The most recent is the chapter, "From Slum Clearance to Urban Renewal,"
in the report of the National Commission on Urban Problems, which has just
been released. I understand that this chapter was written personaily by
Senator Paul Dougias, chairman of the Commission. Unfortunately Senator
Douglas's attack is based in large part on a distorted and inaccurate
version of the legislative history of the program. My conclusion is based
on the opinions of others who participated in this history, my observations
over two decades of close participation in the legislative and policy devel-
opment of the program, and the review of events leading to the original
enactment in 1949 which I have just concluded as part of my project.

Programs like that in Atlanta ani the support they have fran the
community are undoubtedly better answers to that kind of criticism than
any attempts I or others can make to straighten out the record. So
I wish you and your associates continued success in your new efforts
which have just been announced.

 

Sir erely yours,

Dear Mr. Davis:

The Atlanta Housing Authority has for a long time been eager to have the
City Parks Department supply recreation leadership to residents in public
housing projects. In our conferences with representatives of the Parks
Department, it develops that they are equally eager to supply these services
to the citizens of Atlanta who live in public housing.

From these conferences,it appears that the only reason that such services
are not supplied to these citizens is that a definition of city services
has been made that prevents City funds from being expended for this purpose.
As you know, the Atlanta Housing Authority is prevented from supplying

face to face leadership by Federal regulations. It appears that these
citizens of Atlanta are prevented from receiving full city services simply
by virtue of where they live. It is ovr hope that this situation can be.
corrected at the earliest possible date since the Atlanta Housing Authority,
in contrast to most other property owners,has outdoor and indoor space
which can be made available for recreation purposes at no or little cost to
the city.

I would be grateful if you would call this to the attention of the necessary
individuals so that a favorable ruling can be obtained.

Sincerely yours
CED. Tle

Dear Mr. Griggs :
Recently you asked Mr. Openshaw f or infonnation concerning the property
bounded by Georgia Avenue, Capitol Avenue, Bass Street, and Washington
Street. Approximately a half of this area is in the Rawson-Washington
Urban Fenewal Pro j ect, and the other half is in the 1969 clearance
area in the Model Cities portion of the Neighborhood Development Program.
If the Rawson-Washington Project is to close before December 31, 1969, the
sale of this land would take place through two simultaneous offerings.
Under the present approved land use, the land can only be used for commercial,
and would be offered in such a way that a Developer could bly'the entire
area with Crew Street to be closed, or buy either or both blocks to keep
Crew Street open. Under the Model Cities Land Use Plan, the block bounded
by Crew, Georgia, Capitol, and Bass is designated for park use, which is,
of course, public. If this portion of the area were to be used for public
purposes, amendments to each of the two Programs would be necessary.
In any event, the land would have to be appraised by two competent appraisers,
with a price to be concurred in by the Renewal Assistance Administration.
The appraisals would be the same for either commercial or public use,because
property to be sold for public purposes must be appraised at its highest and
best alternate use. We have not, of course, had appraisals made. Based on
our experience, our Real Estate people estimate that the price per sq. foot
would not be less than $3.00 or more than $5.00. Land for commercial uses
must be sold under competitive procedures. Land for public purposes, however, can be sold without advertisingo If the land were used as a park, the
price of the land would be eligible as a non-cash grant=in=aid credit to the
extent that the park served and supported the Project. If it were used for
office space, no credit would be available. If part were used for one purpose
�-2-
and part for another, the above provisions would apply. If the area
were to be a Park with temporary use for office space, the matter
would have to be negotiated with the Renewal Assistance Administration,
and probably receive Washington concurrence or approval.
It is my hope that this will clarify the questions you have. If not,
pl ease let me know and we will try to provide further information.
Sincerely yours,,:;?

Dear Mr. Satterfield:
This will refer to your letter of February 18, 1969, regarding the
establishment of Authority-paid special project police forces.
The Cooperation Agreement between the Atlanta Hou~~ng Authority and the
City of Atlanta states that the City shall fu~nish or cause to be furnished
to the Local Authority and the tenants of such projects public services and
facilities of the s ame character and to the same extent as are furnished
from time to time without cost or cha r g e to other dwelltng s and inhabitants
in the municipality.
This provision, of course, includes police service
and the City should therefore provide services required at the projects
to insure the safety of its residents.
This office does not approve funds to be used to provide protective services
as a matter of course.
Only where highly unusual circumstances existed have
we authorized funds to employ project police or security guards.
In such
rare instances, approval involved very small numbers of personnel and for
temporary periods of time.
At this tim e , we are not aware of circumsta nces in Atlanta which require
special prote ctive s e r v ic e s ov~ r a nd a bove tho s e pre s e ntly b e ing p r ovided
by the municipality und e r the provisions of the Cooperation Agr eeille nt.
Under no circumstanc e s would we be willing to approve an arrange ment which
in effect would r e pl a c e s e rvices which the City performs in accordance with
the Cooperation Agre ement.

Dear Mr. Satterfield:

This will refer to your letter of February 18, 1969, regarding the
establishment of Authority-paid special project police forces.

The Cooperation Agreement between the Atlanta Housing Authority and the
City of Atlanta states that the City shall furnish or cause to be furnished
to the Local Authority and the tenants of such projects public services and
facilities of the same character and to the same extent as are furnished
from time to time without cost or charge to other dwellings and inhabitants
in the municipality. This provision, of course, includes police service
and the City should therefore provide services required at the projects

to insure the safety of its residents.

This office does not approve funds to be used to provide protective services
as a matter of course. Only where highly unusual circumstances existed have
we authorized funds to employ project police or security guards. In such
rare instances, approval involved very small numbers of personnel and for
temporary periods of time.

At this time, we are not aware of circumstances in Atlanta which require
special protective services over and above those presently being provided
by the municipality under the provisions of the Cooperation Agreement.

Under no circumstances would we be willing to approve an arrangement which
in effect would replace services which the City performs in accordance with
the Cooperation Agreement.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Dan:
Many thanks for sending me the applications
of those two college students. Unfortunately, I only
hire second-year law students during the summer, so
I am unable to help them.
If you hear of any exciting
law students I would very much appreciate knowing
about them.
You mentioned on the telephone the other day
your high regard for Les Persells. I would very much
like to hear the argument in favor o f his appointment
to succeed Satterfield. My own impression is very
st r ong that he is tied up so closely with present
policies a s to gravely diminish the chanc es for
signific a nt reform in the Housing Authority. My
opinion about his appointment has been sought by
a n umber of people .
I would like to he a r y our
comments in orde r tha t mine can be mor e intell i gent .

Dear Mr. Persellis: -

Reference ie made to your letter of July 23, 1969, in which
you inquire about the possibility of the City furnishing |
recreational services to citizens of Atlanta who live in
public housing. 1 believe perhaps that the conclusion you
have reached, that is, “that the only reason such services
ate not supplied to these citizens, is that a definition
of Gity services hes been made that prevents City funds

I am forwarding a copy of your Letter together with mine
to each of the members of the Parks Committee and Finance

Committee for further discussion and consideration.

Dear Les:

Iam gathering some information relating to federal aid to Atlanta for the
years 1966 through 1968. Ihave secured the figures relating to urban renewal
and now need the figures for public housing.

It is my understanding that there is an annual contribution by the federal
government which is determined by computing the deficit that results from
the operation of the various housing projects. If this understanding is
correct, I would appreciate the amount of this annual federal contribution
for the years 1966 through 1968.

I certainly appreciate your assistance on this.

Very truly yours,

Dan E. Sweat
