FORM 1667 OFFICE LETTER TRUST COMPANY OF GEORGIA TO A. H. Sterne FROM C. Linden Longino, Jr. SUBJECT: Bank Loans to Minority Businesses I have a collection of many news articles and other reports, as well as my own thoughts, on the general subject of business formation and development in urban "underprivilegedghetto-black-minority" areas. Connnon threads bind all of these together: 1. A city cannot endure with a central core of business and individual poverty. 2. Strengthening the underprivileged toward solving the overall number members comprise 12% of the U. S. business, according to government 3. This uplifting can be done by direct government "intervention" or by the more fortunate members of the "privileged" business community; the latter being a better way for innumerable reasons, but a combined effort being workable and not necessarily undesirable. 4. Many government programs exist and ~ any private organizations have been formed to cope with these problems, but there is much duplication of effort and a general lack of intercommunication and coordination. 5. Banks can play a key role because of the general scarcity of money available to the ghetto businessman f or s t arting or upgrading his business. (Only 150 of this country's 14,000 connnercial banks engage in specific loan programs of this nature.) 6.

A formal "pool" of banks is not necessary if each bank will assume its responsibilities and take an active role in this area of lending. A central "clearing house" would make the job easier for all interested parties, public and private. Independent services of banks, attorneys, accountants, consultants and various national, state, and local government bodies could be efficiently channeled toward the common objective. We have suggested that the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce might assume the role of coordinator if such a "clearing house!’ is established.

BEN HILL LEADERS DEPLORE VANDALISM Mager - a ae: Je Made ae. et es Pe A group of Ben Hill church, school, business and community leaders released a statement today expressing their "shock and shame" at an act of vandalism directed against a Negro family recently who moved on an all white street in this southwest - Atlanta community. . The McMichael family purchased a home on Kimberly Road and moved into it in late August. Vandals hit once breaking windows and hit again some three days later, . The McMichael's elected to move and their money was refunded by the real estate © \ agent who sold the property. ~ The statement by the group of Ben Hill leaders continued: “We know the spirit. of this community. We believe that the good people of Ben Hill and surrounding communities want their moral support placed behind the movement for fairness in housing and equality in education. We encourage that every effort be made by the Atlanta Police Department to apprehend the offender so that justice will prevail and respect for the law be strengthened in event that a similar situation should face us again. We believe that man, his person and his personality, is sacred and that property rights must be respected and that unless we can come to this point of view, none of us are safe." This statement represented the first collective effort of censure from that community. The group met at the Ben Hill Methodist Church with the yf ° Atlanta Community Relations Commission acting as the convener. . Among those participating in the meeting were: Rev. L. Clyde Allen, Bill Atchison, Ernest R. Bennett, Rev. Ww. Cc, Bowen, Kenneth R. Drane, Milton Se Earnest, John Geren, Rev. William Geren, Mrs. Thelma Heath, James R, Lemon, Walker McKnight, Charles L. Moates, Dr. Harmon D. Moore, H. Jack Smith, Ghavies Stinson, Jr., Ray Terry, Jr., Cecil M. Thornton, ingadon Wade, Thomas G. Ward, Nat Welch, Rev.

Thus of the four comments on this department, only Mr. Isaac was satisfied. RECOMM ENDATIONS 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 telephone nurn.ber or office. Although many recommendati ons were quite siinilar each wa s prese11ted fr-om a different vi ewpoint . The recommendations concerning the City S ervices Coordinators centered around the number of coordinators and their duties.

Others, such as Christenberry, Mrs. Snider, and Miss Woodward felt that more City Servic e Coordina tors should be hired 1 1 • Mr. Christenberry sugges ted that since the City Servic e Coo rdinator·s do public relations work a nyway, the 11 e x p ensive , blue-ribbon bed e cked Community Relations Commission 11 could be abolished and the commission 1 s mone y be used for 1nor e City Service Coordinators.

Mr. Christenberry feels the City Service Coordinators be viewed as "inovative chaps with an overview of the whole system whose job is to better integrate existing services and develop ne~ services as they see .fit". They shoi:ild ha~e the po\ver to "recom:rr.end 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 1 1 • Miss Sowell believes the City Service Coordinators could perform a broader coordinating function between the various groups on his ( or her) area. Those "\vere not the only recommendations pertaining to City Service Coordinators. Mr. Christenberry wants all City Service Coordinators (both present coordinators and all future ones) to sp e nd time with experienced coordinators, learning methods of "handling 'routine' community problems". He also feels that all City Servic~ Coordinators should have a personal kno w led g e of th e operation of all city departments . Mr. Isaac recomm e nded that th e coordin a tors be publicized in the community. · Miss Sow ell sug gested that r e gular "houp5 of att e ndance" in their offices be k e pt by th e coordinators , and that route she e ts from the City Servic_e Coordinators should r e c e ive d p r iority action (perhaps special funds could be allocated fo r this).

An additional suggestion made by Mr. Christenberry was to assign personnel from the Community Development Office to work with Rex I-Ioneycutt of Sanitary in the development of a profitable system for handling junke d cars.

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", Mr. Isaac reported that the Police Department is doing well in Central City, but ° Me. Christenberry, Mr. Menez, and Miss Sowell reported very poor response. Mr. nristenberry was told that the Police Department did not know to return route sheets: however, that is not believed: 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 Department was commented on by Miss Woodward and Mr. Menez. Mr. Menez stated that the Recreation Department was not only hampered by lack of equipment, but its unsystematic system allows for inconsistency. Miss Woodward was more explicit, stating that recreation."appears to suffer not in quanity but in quality". Since this is Atlanta's third year of expanded summer recreation, she feels that "one would expect to find activities with carryover values". Further, Atlanta is loosing its best opportunity to communicate with youth in these areas. She reports that youth does not participate in other programs, such as Model Cities, E.O,A,, etc. The Sanitation Department came in for quite a bit of comment.

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 Coordinator's Office that no traffic signals were available for this year. Mrs. a 2 I Snider noted that many times the Traffic Engineering Department replied with "will check this next week" or ''maybe next year". She felt this type of reply did more harm than good. Mr. Menez criticized "the bureaucratic seoredare in which things are done". Mr. Isaac reported answers a all five route sheets sent to Traffic Engineering. 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, fails cars, and iia .setabliahment of a central telephone number or office. Although many recommendations were quite similar each was presented from a slightly different viewpoint. The recommendations concerning the City Services Coordinators centered around the number of coordinators and their duties: Miss Sowell, Mr. Isaac, and Mr. Bement recommend that there be one City Service Coordinator per target area. Others, such as Christenberry, Mrs. Snider, and Miss Woodward felt that “more City Service Coordinators should be hired", Mr. Ghristenberey suggested that — since the City Service Coordinator's do public relations work anyway, the "expensive, blue-ribbon bedecked Community Relations Commission" could be abolished and the commission's money be used for more City Service Coordinators. Miss Woodward, Mr. Bement, Miss Sowell, and Mr. Christenberry also discussed possible thane in the coordinator's duties. Miss Woodward recommended making them the administrators of "Little City Halls" and increasing the scope of cae their duties to include early slum detection, consumer services complaints, public relations, and general information distribution. All of this involves removing the coordinators from the E.O.A, Centers. ve Christenberry feels the City Service Coordinators be viewed as "inovative chaps with an overview of the whole system whose job is to better integrate existing services and develop new services as they See fit", They should have the power to "recommend revisions in and additions to the city codes in their respective areas", Mr. Bement saw the coordinator‘s job as that of a "city-man in the ghetto; touching, listening, stimulating, heaching’, reporting". Miss Sowell believes the City Service Coordinators could perform a broader coordinating function between the various groups on his (or her) area. Those were not the only recommendations pertaining to City Service Coordinators. Mr. Christenberry wants all City Service Coordinators (both present coordinators and all future ones) to spend time with experienced coordinators, learning methods of "handling 'routine' community problems". He also feels that all City Service Coordinators should have a personal knowledge of the operation of all city departments. Mr. Isaac recommended that the coordinators be publicized in the community. Miss Sowell suggested that regular "hours of attendance" in their offices be kept by the coordinators, and that route sheets car the City Service Coordinators should received priority action (perhaps special funds could be allocated for this). Thus these inten recommendations concerning the City Service Coordinators relate -5- , . ; ‘to their role, their number, their training, etc. There is disatisfaction not with the ideal of a City Service Coordinator, but with the reality. A large number of recommendations concerned centralization. Mr. Bement suggested the entire system be tied to one telephone number, suchas 5ll. He also suggested “a central City Services Intake and Routing Office containing one or two complaint desks from each department, This would segaha the Community Development Office's coordinating function by enabling départments to work together on problems not "apropos' to any one denartaent. Mrs ; ‘Saider also felt a central information service for field personnel was needed. Under her plan, the Community Develop= ment Office could become a central coordinating agency for target area groups who might need supplies or other help and those churches, businesses, etc., who might like to help such groups. A centralized publicized telephone number was also recommended by Mr. 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" crews to investigate all types of complaints. Centralization as seen by the interns, would expand the function of the Community Development Office and aid in its operation. — Junk cars were the object of many of Mr. Christenberry's and Mr. Menez's recommendations. Both felt that only one department of the City should have responsibility for removal of junk cars, rather than both Sanitary and Police. Menez suggested that this single agency be the Sanitary Department. Both felt that manpower in Sanitary should be increased; Christenberry suggesting that these ha < Se, : =o be used to make "periodic sweeps through all infected areas to remove junk cars", An additional suggestion made by Mr. Christenberry was to assign personnel from the Community Development Office to work with Rex Honeyoute of Sanitary in the development of a profitable system for handling junked cars. In other words, these intern recommendations were concerned with increasing the efficiency of junk car yemoval; < <i... : : j ‘ ; é Although the above are the major types of groupings of intern recommendations, there were many more. -Mrs. Snider and Miss Woodward suggested Vlittle City Halle", Miss Woodward also suggested a social Seseeech and planning staff which would. begin slum prevention studies, a new training orientation program for summer recreation employees, plain english translations of city ordinances,new ordinances concerning consumer service violations, investigation of bribery complaints, regulation of absentee landlords, and use of volenteers for summer recreation programs. Mrs. Snider and Miss Woodward had recommendations pertaining to publicity. Miss Woodward feels the War on Poverty should be publicized to affluent Atlanta; Mrs. Snider suggested that City Hall publicize itself through direct effective action. Miss Sowell and Mrs. Snider felt thathighlevel pressure (ise., Mayor Allen) should be used against those departments which were unresponsive to the Community Development Office. Several suggestions were made with regard to personnel. Mr. Isaac believes the intern program should be continued part-time all year. Miss Woodward suggested the pay of policemen and recreation employees be increased. She also suggested strengthening the lines between the E,O.A, Manpower Program - -7- and the City Personnel Office. Miss Sowell ie homtaseied that the Atlanta Beautification Boris ea tcne could be used to clean streets and vacant lots in answer to complaints. Mr. Christenberry also suggested increasing the number of housing inspectors. Other's suggestions included improving the Summer Program Book by printing it in color code, havinw each department use the same area definition osevidine space for up -dating the book, revising the route sheet filing system by using file cards (Mrs. Snider); charging land owners for cleaning 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. (Mr. Christenberry).  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

WILBORN FROM: Community Relations Commission SUBJECT: Summary of Complaints from Town Hall Meetings and Re.commendations of the Commission · The key role of the Community Relations Commission (CRC) in the Mayor's Summer Progr am has been in holding Town I MR. WILLIAM McGEE. EX-OFFICIO Hall meetings in the disadvc. ntaged ares of the City. The ATLANTA YOUTH CONGRESS l C0rnmj s si0n hijtially goes in to hear the complaints of . MR. NAT WELCH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR citizens and returns some thirty days later and reports on actions taken by City Hall and other agencies. In many cases, CRC has been able to report corrective action taken -·oy City Departments and other agen cies (note Supplement 1 . • .~!A". for _responses this week to complaints at Perry Hoines). Town Hall meetings have been held since lvlarch in the following communities : Blair Village, Grant Park, Mechanicsville, Perry Homes, University_ Hom es and EdgewoodKirkwood. ··--- -· ·- . This report tabulates the frequency of complaints registered _·_in the initial meetings. The frequ ency of compla ints is not in itself conclusive evidence of the gravity of problems faced ,1··· - ·by ·Atlanta. 0 The purpose of this memorandum is to make recommendations on problems th e Comrn ission has been unable to resolve . �Pag:e 2 Summ~.ry of Complaints Community Chest agencies in the disadvantaged areas. The Commission would like to recommend four areas for improving this situation: 1. The Parks Department capital improvern.ent budget of approximately $350,000 is grossly inadequate. This . - sum can easily be expended to build one new park; but this $350,000 has to be spread over 65 parks. For example, a modern swimming pool costs approximately ····.- ·-- -~--- ----------$220;·000. · - The City of Atlanta needs to give serious consideration to a multi-million dollar bond issue for . ... -.improvement and expansion of its Parks system. It should b~ pointed out that the Parks Department is operating 80 play lots of which 40 are staffed. These , are constructed and maintained principally from Federal Poverty Funds. If these funds ar.e redli.ced, this would t~row an immediate and substantial burden on this City. ·"-···--z.--Emphasis ·should be ·_placed on expanding and improving play lots for tots and neighborhood parks in such com__________ ·· munities as _11echanicsville, Sun1merhill, Fulton Village, •· · Blue Heaven, Bowen Homes, Perry Homes and Grant _ _ ____ p _a rk area. Parks need to b e in walking dista nce of these citizens where possible; ghetto families have very poor transportation. Improved transportation in disadvantaged areas will help broaden recreationa l opportunities. 3. Better uti lization must b e made of school -pla yg rounds · - ·-...::...:.-=-and facilities. ··· ·This re·quire s more coo pc ration between ·. the Atlanta School Board and the Parks Departm e nt. ___ ... With the costs of construction and r eal estate spiraling, . Atlanta h a s to make better use of school f ac ilities for recreadon. · 4. The need is pressing for improved recreation in public - · -· hou sing. The Atlanta Hou s ing Aut hority c a n build recre.--ational, buildings. Th e City should urg e action he re by the Authority. The Board of Alde rmen h as offere d to • pay 50% of the co s ts of op e r a ting recr eat iona l pro grams in public housing if the A uthority wo uld do likewise. Und er Federal l aw , AHA can not do so. Therefore; the City must a cc ept its responsibility here in as much as it has assumed re s ponsibility in providing other s ervices in public housing. 0 A major burden for improving recreation in the City rest s with the Parks Department. Churches have been ren1iss in d eve loping recreatio nal programs �.. ~ Page 3 Summc:ry of Complaints . and using their facilities for their neightborhoocls. Community Chest agencies need to step up their programs in disadvantag ed areas and to guard against serving just the middle class. The Atlanta Children 1 s and Youth Services Council has done an outstanding job in coordinating and promoting volunteer services and warrants continous support. Complaints abo-ut the Atlanta Police Department were eight in number •••..•• seven dealing with the need for greater protection and quicker response and - ---one-about segregation ·:n the department. Four suggestions were made by citizens for improving police services: I. More foot·.patrolmcn in areas of high crime. z. Quicker switchboard answering at headquarters. 3. Complete desegration of the Police Department. - . ----4. Improved stre·et lighting in areas of high crime. This has sharply reduced crime in some American cities. "Jf Atlanta is to cope with its nsmg crim e rate, citizens must share this responsibility with the Police Department. The Atlanta Police Department · must be given a deguate funds for ope rations, - salaries, training and res ear ch. Atlanta citi zens have a strong responsibility to report crimes and to serve as witnesses where needed. _________ _G~i:?age service also ranke d second in number of complaints. The Commission received six complaints on the quality and frequency of garbage collection and -- -- ---.- two complaints on garbage being s tre wn over premises. The Commission held a special meeting in June with the Director of the Public Works D epartment and the Director of the Sanitary S ervic e to info rm t hem of these facts and to make recomme ndations. The Public Works Committee of the Board of Aldermen nee~s to take furth e r steps to mecha ni ze garbage collection and to incre ase the pay-of ·sanitary workers ·and to elevate· the-dignity-o·f ·thc· job. ·· Citi ze ns need to . show more appreciation for the men who perform this important public service. -A serious compla int h eard at Town Hall meetings during the spring d ealt with ·the failure of the City to remove junk cars. The responsibility for removing junk cars on private property rests with the Sanitary Department and on streets with the Police Department . In the last few weeks both d epa rtments have moved· forward \vith aggressive pr9grams for coping with this nagging problem. Other complaints received by the Commission are list e d below in the frequency - in which received: 7 complaints .• ; .•. on sewers and dra i nage- -5 on flooded streets and - 2 on dirty sewers and smelly creeks. 5 compla ints •••••• la.ck of jobs for youth . ... �I.

WILLIAM MCGEE, EX-OFFICIO ATLANTA YOUTH CONGRESS ' MR. NAT WELCH TO: Mayor Allen and the Board of Aldermen FROM: Community Relations Commission . SUBJECT: Summary of Complaints from Town Hall Meetings and Re commendations of the . Commission . The key role of the Community Relations Commission (CRC) in the Mayor's Summer Program has been in holding Town Hall meetings in the disadventaged ares of the City. The Commission initially goes in to hear the complaints of EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR citizens and returns some thirty days later and reports on actions taken by City Hall and other agencies. In many cases, CRC has been able to report corrective action taken ~ by City Departments and other agencies (note Supplement "A" for responses this week to complaints at Perry Homes). Town Hall meetings have been held since March in the following communities: Blair Village, Grant Park, Mechan- ' icsville, Perry Homes, University Homes and Edgewood- ; Kirkwood. “oe . This report tabulates the frequency of complaints registered -in the initial meetings. The frequency of complaints is not ek 3 __ in itself conclusive evidence of the gravity of problems faced “by Atlanta. ° The purpose of this memorandum is to make recommendations E on problems the Commission has been unable to resolve. Far and away the most frequent complaint received was the need for more and better recreational facilities. Twenty-six -complaints were received on this subject compared with eight each on police and garbage service. Twenty-four complaints on recreation dealt with the need for more swim- ming pools, more play lots for tots, and programs for tecn- agers. Two complaints had to do with lack of services by Page 2 Summary of Complaints Community Chest agencies in the disadvantaged areas. The Commission would like to recommend four areas for improving this situation: 1, The Parks Department capital improvement budget of , approximately $350,000 is grossly inadequate. This -- sum can easily be expended to build one new park; but this $350,000 has to be spread over 65 parks. For example, a modern swimming pool costs approximately sete rer Ser SP 20 O0Gs The City of Atlanta needs to give serious consideration to a multi-million dollar bond issue for .. improvement and expansion of its Parks system. It : should be pointed out that the Parks Department is operating 80 play lots of which 40 are staffed. These are constructed and maintained principally from Federal Poverty Funds. If these funds are reduced, this would . throw an immediate and substantial burden on this City. - “~-——2. Emphasis should be placed on expanding and improving play lots for tots and ncighborhood parks in such com- __. munities as Mechanicsville, Summerhill, Fulton Village, - Blue Heaven, Bowen Homes, Perry Homes and Grant ____» Parkarea. Parks need to be in walking distance of these citizens where possible; ghetto families have very poor transportation. Improved transportation in disad- vantaged areas will help broaden recreational opportu- nities. 3. Better utilization must be made of school-playgrounds "and facilities. ‘This requires more cooperation between '. the Atlanta School Board and the Parks Department. With the costs of construction and real estate spiraling, . Atlanta has to make better use of school facilities for _recreation. 4. The need is pressing for improved recreation in public ‘“~housing. The Atlanta Housing Authority can build recre- * "ss ational buildings. The City should urge action here by the Authority. The Board of Aldermen has offered to pay 50% of the costs of operating recreational programs in public housing if the Authority would do likewise. Under Federal law, AHA can not do so. Therefore, the City must accept its responsibility here in as muchas ' it has assumed responsibility in providieg other services in public housing. A major burden for improving recreation in the City rests with the Parks Department. Churches have been remiss in developing recreational programs Page 3 Summary of Complaints and using their facilities for their neightborhoods. Community Chest agencies need to step up their programs in disadvantaged areas and to guard against _ serving just the middle class. The Atlanta Children's and Youth Services Council has done an outstanding job in coordinating and promoting volunteer services and warrants continous support. Complaints about the Atlanta Police Department were eight in number....... seven dealing with the need for greater protection and quicker response and ---——one-about segregation in the department. Four suggestions were made by citizens for improving police services: a 1, More foot.patrolmen in areas of high crime, 2. Quicker switchboard answering at headquarters. 3. Complete desegration of the Police Department. --—4, - Improved street lighting in areas of high crime. This has . sharply reduced crime in some American cities. . we _ If Atlanta is to cope with its rising crime rate, citizens must share this responsibility with the Police Department. The Atlanta Police Department must be givenadequate funds for operations, salaries, training and research, Atlanta citizens have a strong responsibility to report crimes and to serve as witnesses where needed, __.._.Garbage service also ranked second in number of complaints. The Commission "received six complaints on the quality and frequency of garbage colléction and --~---t=wo complaints on garbage being strewn over premises. The Commission held a special meeting in June with the Director of the Public Works Department and the Director of the Sanitary Service to inform them of these facts and to make recommendations. The Public Works Committee of the Board of Aldermen needs to take further steps to mechanize garbage collection and to increase the “—-————pay-of ‘sanitary workers and to elevate the dignity ofthe job. Citizens need to. show more appreciation for the men who perform this important public service. ~A serious complaint heard at Town Hall meetings during the spring dealt with the failure of the City to remove junk cars. The responsibility for removing junk cars on private property rests with the Sanitary Department and on streets with the Police Department. In the last few weeks both departments have moved forward with aggressive programs for coping with this nagging problem. Other complaints received by the Commission are listed below in the frequency in which received: 7? complaints......on sewers and drainage--5 on flooded streets and 2 on dirty sewers and smelly crecks. . 5 complaints...... lack of jobs for youth. . Page 4 Summary of Complaints 5 complaints... 5 complaints ae “-“““4- complaints... 4 complaints.. 3 complaints.. 3 complaints.. 3 complaints.. 2 complaints.. 2 complaints a 2.complaints.. ..

This is a result, of course, of the beefed-up staff utilizing the interns. You will find the comments and recommendations of the interns very interesting, and I think it is significant that only one of the interns consistently feels that everything is wrong. Ihave been exceptionally pleased with the fact that althouch the interns place a great deal of extra work on the departments in getting complaints answered, there have been very few complaints registered with me from the departments.
