Dear Gene:

Thank you for giving me the latest status report on Volunteers
Unlimited. This is a service long needed in the city.

The proper utilization of volunteer citizens is a very difficult

task to handle. Matching these volunteers with community

needs in the most efficient and constructive manner is some-
thing that just doesn't take place without a lot of organization

and constant attention, We have found in City Hall that on many
occasions we have had to turn down offers of assistance from
highly motivated volunteers because of a lack of proper machinery
to coordinate the volunteer efforts,

It looks as if the timing on Volunteers Unlimited is just about

right and I am sure that we are going to be very thankful that

you and the organizations took the inidiative to establish this

effort now that the National Administration has kicked off the
Volunteer Action Program in the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. I hope that you will make our Model Cities people
aware of what you have to offer as well as other City departments
and agencies,

Thanks again on behalf of the City for your fine work.

Sincerely yours,

Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor

Re:
Volunteers Unlimited
Dear Mayor Allen:
This is to bring you up to date on the present status of
our project to recruit, train and place individual and group
volunteers in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Volunteers Unlimited is the name given to the project which is now being sponsored by the Atlanta Chamber of Corrnnerce, EOA, the Junior League
of Atlanta, the Corrnnunity Chest, and the Corrnnunity Council.
I enclose a copy of a letter from me to Secretary Romney,
together with a copy of the Memorandum enclosed with my letter.
The Letter and Memorandum are self-explanatory. I attended a
meeting in Washington last Thursday and Friday, May 22 and 23,
of executive directors and presidents of councils in cities having a population of one million or over. It was well attended.
About twenty-five cities were repr esented.
At the meeting with Secretary Romney and Mr . Max Fisher,
our group first obtained assurance that the Voluntar y Action
Program as envisioned by the National Administration is not intended to be a substitute for federal or state funds or programs
- but is intended to be a supplement to these programs. We emphasized the fact that the nature of the problems in the cities
is such that more federal and state money is r e quired - not less.
�Hon. Ivan Allen
May 28, 1969
Page Two
At the Friday meeting it was pretty obvious that Secretary
Romney would like to have gotten into a discussion of the Model
City Program. As I am sure you know, the Nixon Administration
plans to spread the "Model City" money over areas in the city
beyond the boundaries of the neighborhoods now designated. We
didn't get into a lengthy discussion but he did mention one
thing which would be of interest to you and the people involved
in the program in Atlanta. He said that preference in Model
City Programs would be given to cities making maximum use of voluntary agencies and volunteers in the total community. It may
be helpful to you and those involved in the Model City Program
to point out that we have a project for the recruitment and placing of volunteers which is jointly sponsored by strong organizations and has the support of your office.
We had a number of outstanding applicants for the job of
Executive Director of Volunteers Unlimited. We finally selected
Mr. Jack T. Mallory, Jr., who is twenty-eight years old and has
had considerable experience with the YMCA and community organization. His employment is effective June 1. The Massell Companies
are permitting us to use, without charge, a building on Gordon
Street about one-half block from Ashby. This is a building formerly used by the Bank of Georgia. It is directly across the
street from a branch of the Atlanta Library and a branch of the
Atlanta Federal Savings and Loan Association. We think it is an
ideal location and facility.
During the next two months most of our time will be devoted
to the organization of committees which will be responsible for
recruiting, training and placing volunteers. One large committee
will begin working with agencies in the accumulation of job de scriptions for volunteers . We still need some help in a number
of a reas. We have to do some painting and remodeling of the
building. We have to provide office equipment and supplies for
our Headquarters. We do not have at this time sufficient funds

to employ two neighborhood aides which we need in connection with
the project. If you or Dan Sweat know of any large corporations
which would loan us a young executive for a couple of months,
this would be most helpful.
We are basically funded for the first year. The next year
we are going to have to take care of on the basis of our performance during the first year. However, we are determined to make
this project a success. We are most encouraged by the enthusiastic
support of the Junior League. As you know, these gals are real
movers.
We appreciated very much your letter of support and it has
been helpful to us. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if
you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
Yours very truly,
~~

to employ two neighborhood aides which we need in connection with
the project. If you or Dan Sweat know of any large corporations
which would loan us a young executive for a couple of months,
this would be most helpful.

We are basically funded for the first year. The next year
we are going to have to take care of on the basis of our perform-
ance during the first year. However, we are determined to make
this project a success. We are most encouraged by the enthusiastic
support of the Junior League. As you know, these gals are real
movers.

We appreciated very much your letter of support and it has
been helpful to us. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if
you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.

Yours very truly,
Eugene T. Branch

Dear Secretary Romney:
I am Chairman of The Community Council of the Atlanta Area,
Inc. and was among those present at the meeting held in your department on last Friday, May 23. We appreciated very much the
opportunity of meeting with you and Mr. Fisher and some of the
· members of the staff which has been formed to move forward with
the Voluntary Action Program. The proposal and the meeting could
not have b een more timely from our standpoint. Our Council and
other organizations in the Atlanta area have been working for
fourteen months on the organization of a facility to effectively
.and efficiently recruit, train and place volunteers. We enthusiastically support the idea proposed by the President as we understand it.
I enclose a Memorandum which sets out the procedure which
we followed in organizing and funding an agency designed to use
individual volunteers and groups to expand , supplement and enrich
programs of existing public and private voluntary agencies and
to stimulat e the deve lopment of n ew and innovative pr oj ects or
programs to solve specific problems in specific areas. As ·s tat ed
in the Memorandum, we b egin our operation on June 1.
Aga in, let me say how much we appreciated the opportunit y
of meeting with you. I am today writing to Mr. Roger Feldman
and will send him a copy of this Memorandum . We look forward to

�MEMORANDUM
May 28, 1969
TO:
Honorable George W. Romney
Chairman, Cabinet Committee on Voluntary Action
FROM:
Eugene T. Branch
Chairman, The Community Council of
the Atlanta Area, Inc.
This is to review briefly the background and present
status of a planned volunteer citizens service project in the
metropolitan Atlanta area.
This area - encompasses five counties
in the metropolitan Atlanta area.
The project is being spon-
sored by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Economic Opportunity
Atlanta, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and the
Community Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc.
It also has the
strong backing of the Office of the Mayor of the City of Atlanta.
The Community Council convened the meetings of the organizations
which lead to the formation of the project and the Council now
serves as the umbrella organization under which the project is
operated.
1.
Background.
The proposed project for the training and
placement of volunteers arose from the realization that in the
Atlanta urban area we are not likely to be able to expand services as rapidly as needed unless we effectively tap some presently untapped resources.
If we undertook to expand the exist-
ing services of public and private agencies in the traditional
way, it would be years before we would have sufficient funds and
trained personnel to make any serious impact on our problems.

�The largest untapped resource appears to be individuals and
organizations whith would like to make a contribution.
Effic-
iently and effectively channeling this resource is not an easy
task but it has been done in a number of cities and it was believed Atlanta has a unique opportunity to demonstrate an effective use of volunteers.
In the late spring of 1968, we had a meeting of organizations which were being flooded with calls from citizens and
groups which wanted "to do something."
We met with representa-
tives from EOA, the Mayor's Office, the Atlanta Junior League,
and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
From this early meeting,
it was decided that we should sponsor a luncheon meeting of
organizations which might be helpful in either using or recruiting volunteers.
This larger meeting included representation
from about seventeen organizations.
At that meeting a Steering
Committee was formed and has been functioning ever since.
2.
Steering Committee Recommendations.
The Steering
Committee consists of representatives from the Atlanta Junior
League, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, EOA, Corrrrnunity Chest,
and the Community Council of Atlanta.
From time to time we have
also had present representatives from the Women's Chamber of
Commerce.
The Steering Committee after a number of meetings
reached the conclusion that the most desirable procedure was to
sponsor a demonstration project to extend over a two, maybe
three - year period.
The project would be jointly spon~ored by
the Junior League , the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Corrnnunity

would be "members."
Other interested groups
Funds for the support of the project would
flow through the Community Council and be specifically designated
for
the Volunteer Service project.
.
'
I enclose a copy of a docu-
ment entitled "A Coordinating Agency For Volunteers" and this
sets out the general procedure which will be followed.
This was
simply an outline document from which we worked and does not
purport to be a blueprint for organizing an agency for placing
volunteers.
In essence, the purpose of the organization is as
follows:
(a)
Recruit and register volunteers and volunteer
groups.
(b)
Screen such individuals and groups for placement.
(c)
Provide training for volunteers. This would consist of some classroom activity and some on-the j ob training.
(d)
Provide leadership on the effective use of volunteers and work with agencies and programs in
which they would be used. The experience which
we have had, and that of volunteer programs in
most other cities, illustrates that the most dif ficult part of the job is training agencies to
use volunteers effectively.
(e)
Evaluation. We would provide a procedure by
which we would periodically evaluate the using
agency and the volunteers.
The Steering Committee was divided up into various
task forces.
One committee reviewed applications for the job of
Ex ecutive Director.
One committee, with the Atlanta Chamber of
Connner ce, sought a suitable location for the operation .
The
Junior League, in conjunction with a subcommittee, undertook to
rec r uit the Cha i rman of the committee s which will be responsible
fo r th e var ious func tion s of the agency.

Also, we have reached the conclusion
that the first, and possibly second, year of the project could

The Atlanta Junior League has voted to support the
project by a contribution of $15,000.00 during the first year
and $10,000.00 during the second year.
The Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce has voted to provide $10,000.00 during the first year.
The contribution towards the second year operation has been left
open.
The Community Chest is contributing $5,000.00 for the
first year's operation.
Local foundations are providing the
balance of the funds.
The Community Council has provided some staff assist ance and will continue to do so.
EOA has also provided staff
and consultant support and has pledged to continue to do so.

Mr, Eugene T. Branch .

Chairman of the Board of Directors

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mr. Branch,

Economic Opportunity Atlanta will take pleasure in being
one of the sponsors of the Volunteer Bureau. I understand you
plan to be in operation by June 1, 1969. The need for this
type of city-wide bureau is obvious as the Economic Opportunity
Atlanta volunteer staff receives daily calls from various
organizations and agencies requesting volunteer help.

We will be glad to give you staff and consultant support.

With every good wish for the success of the Volunteer

oe

Bureau.

Dear Mr. Branch:
The City of Atlanta has been fortunate in having 1nany citizens and
groups volunteer their time and services to help resolve important
needs in -our community.
As the City has grown and the interest and concern of our citizens
has increased, it has become more and more difficult to effectively
and efficiently utilize volunteers in meeting the needs of the city.
It is extremely encouraging to see the efforts being put forth by
the Community Council, the Chamber of C o mmerce, the Community
Chest and the Atlanta Junior League in developing a vehicle for
providing orderly assignment and utilization of volunteer manpower.
It is essential that there be a central point wher e by community needs
can be catalogued and consolidated and volunteers enlisted and trained
to help .fulfill these needs. I believe only through such a coordinated
effort can the talents and skills of Atlanta's volunteer citizens be
marshalled and utilized to the best advantage of all the people of the
city.

CITY OF ATLANTA

Atlanta 3, Georgia

SAM MASSELL, JR.
; President, Board of Aldermen

November 10, 1966

TO: Alderman Rodney M. Cook
Alderman Milton G. Farris
Alderman John M, Flanigen
Alderman Richard C, Freeman

| Mr. Charles Hart

Alderman Charles Leftwich

| Alderman G. Everett Millican

Mr. L. D. Simon

Mr. Benny T. Smith

Mrs. Dorothy Bolder Thompson

The Rev. Samuel Williams

 

FROM: Sam Massell, Jr., Chairman, Ad Hoc Committee for
Establishment of Community Relations Commission

The resolution establishing our ad hoc committee directed that we
recommend to the Board of Aldermen the structure, membership and
budget for a proposed permanent community relations commission. As
most of you probably know, the Board of Aldermen at its meeting on
November 7 adopted a charter amendment which formally creates said
commission. f

/
f

It is now necessary that we prepare bur recommendations on the
membership and budget, for which purpose I ask you to attend a meeting -
at 10:00 a.m., Thursday, November 17, in committee rodém No, 1 on the
second floor of city hall.

The charter amendment provides that the commission shall consist of
20 members appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the Board of
Aldermen. With this in mind - - and with good attendance at our meeting
on the 17th - - it is probable that we could submit our recommendations
to the Mayor on that day, which would give him time to compose his
final list for submission to the Board of Aldermen at its next regular
meeting on the following Monday (November 21). This means that if
you will make a special effort to attend this meeting on the 17th, this
could - for all practical purposes - be our last meeting, and we could
dissolve our ad hoc committee upon the establishment of the permanent
commission,

Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of the City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

Dear Mayor Allen:

Attached is a list of names the Aldermanic Ad Hoc Human
Relations Committee wishes to submit in accordance with
its responsibilities as provided for in the resolution
establishing this committee, for your consideration in
nomination to fill the twenty positions created by charter
amendment establishing the Atlanta Community Relations
Commission.

The charter provides that the membership shall include
"representatives of all segments of the City of Atlanta".

This requirement was of prime consideration in the selection
of the names attached, The numbered names, one through
twenty, are the first choice recommendations by our
committee, several of which are followed by alternate
suggestions,

The charter provides that you will appoint six for one year
terms, seven for two year terms, and seven for three

year terms, and name one as the chairman. Your appoint-
ment of these members is subject te the approval of the
Board and it is our hope that you will send these to the
Board at its next regular meeting on Monday, November 21,

In most cases, incidentally, we have not checked to determine
Mayor Allen

if these people are willing to serve.

SMI r:fy

Yours sincerely,

Sam Massell, Jr., Chairman
Aldermanic Ad Hoc Human
Relations Cormmittee

' : WHAT DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE DO?

Funds for EOA in 1968 amounted to $14,897,150 in Federal plus

approximatately $200,000 available in Local Cash. Of the retecal Cash,
$21,763 came Feo. thee Nertonst eacnctl on Arts and Humanities, $5,315,411
from the Department of Labor ard $9,559,976 from OzO. EOA will have done
the detailed payrolling, siechestay nia accounting for sixty-eight

projects and will, have funded forty-four pelegcte Agency Projects during

1968.

.EOA Finance does the payrolling, purchase of supplies, detail

staff and 267 enrollees from NYC funds -- 99 staf£ and 73 enrollees from
ACEP funds. During the susmer months, Finance payrolled around 810 employees
in the Summer Recreation Program and 98 employees. in Summer Headstart. There
are occasions when our payroll staff are called upon to do the impossible,

for example: -During July and August, we were

be

nstructed to payroll an

additional 500 Nyc enrollees. We did it. When you think of a Payroll

Operation, you think only of a "pay check". The pay check is only the "end-
product", Think again -- time sheets are fed cake Payroll fron. around 200
locations, Each ene, time-earned, leave taken, etc. must be fed into a
computer. Deductions for Federal end State Income Tax -- FICA -- Retitre-

check stub and visualize all the calculated detail. Multiply your

finished. Quarterly, we make payments of your FIT and SIT deductions to
Uncle Sam and the State and then pay to Uncle Sam your FICA along with EOA's
contribution by listing each employee, his name, Social Security number,
your earnings, etc. At the end of the year, we prepare your W-2's for your
Income Tax Returns and simultaneously report to Uncle Sam and the State.
Also, think what happens in Payroll when you are hired: A file maintenance
has to be completed on each individual - name and address, date employed,
location, sex, marital status, date of birth, Social Security number, Budget
Account, Base Code, rate of pay, pension and number of withhold exemptions.
Every Personuel Acvion Salary fecreaees Name Change, Change of Address,
Termination, etc, causes a change reaction in payrolling.

Also when rou take a day's leave or work an hour overtime or on Com-
pensatory Time, this « uses individual actions in payroll. Our payroll
girls do a tremendous icb, with almost no complaint. Most important, pay
checks are always ready on payday. Errors are nil. Payrolling is one of
many Finance operations.

Finance issues around 60,000 checks a year. Each check is the result
of: Payroll; Travel; Rent; Purchase; Telephone Bill, ete. Before a check
is issued, there must be a voucher with supporting documentation which must
_be thoroughly audited so as to be certain that it is calculated correctly,

coded against a Budget Line Item, and is proper in all respects.

Finances' Purchasing Department will have this year issued 1,600
Purchase Orders Ss 440 Service Orders and -- 400 orders to GSA, which will
involve around 17,000 line items. parchaadis gets the requisition;
establishes the method of procurement; gets bids from suppliers where

Yes, Purchasing has a terrific job of servicing you and we in Finance are
proud of the job it does.

Finance does the accounting for EOA, Our Accounting Division gets
the money in "hunks" and puts it in the bank. folpunties then proceeds to
account for the "out-go" penny by penny, Accounts must excercise controls.
When a requisition is received, Accounts determines that: there is money to
pay for the purchase and when purchased it must have record of the obligation.
Each receipt, obligation and expenditure must be recorded. During 1968,
we had 2,160 Distribution Ledger Accounts with corresponding acenunts in
six General Ledgers. Can you imagine the volume of detail in entering into the
Distribution Ledger Accounts, the budgets, obligations, expenditures and resulting
unobligated balances for each aed evans transaction and requiring absolute
accuracy in the steueke, Also entered in detail is every "crumb" of In-
Kind or Local Support. EOA uses a minimum of a “"Double-Entry" Accounting

System, which means that every entry in the Distribution Ledger is also
= . © wir

entered in General Ledger and the two ledgers must balance. So lets in~-
vision some 12,000 entries each month in the "Distribution Ledger" that
must match up in dollar value to corresponding entries in the "General
Ledger", Get the picture for accuracy perfection? Yes, we have all sorts
of checks and balances. For example, it is essential that our bank gecountE
have accumulative deposits and withdrawals.which agree with our records of
expenditures. At the end of each month, our Accountants must come-up with

Financial and Budget Reports to show management -- and you -- how we stand

moneywise. There are 107 sheets in the Budget Report which involve about

Our Internal Audit reconciles all accounts and for one thing they. have
to look at those 60,000 duhies which were issued and be sure none were
"hiked", that they were endorsed and several other things. When you lose
your check, Finance has to put = "stop order" at the bank before we can
issue you a replacement ae and then -- to make certain someone doesn't
find and collect on the check you lost. Audit must review the "In-Kind" you
report and then be sure it is credited to =a project. In the process, Audit

Internal Audit. This year Audit is supervising the Employees Credit Union,
reconciles our bank accounts to the General Kader, monitors the Retirement Fund
and handles Clearances for indebtedness for final pay settlement to departing
employees.

The Fiscal Officer does the paying of all the bills. Here, all the
vouchers are carefully axeutned and checks drawn for payment. Most payments
are run through Data Processing but a large number of checks are handdrawn.
Most checks are run =F the check signing machine. Fiscal maintains a

careful vigilance on blank checks and the check signing machine to guarantee against

fraud and embezzlement. bia you know that in the history of EOA there hes been
only one instance of fraud (a long time ago) which’ anyoived around $400.00 aad
that amount was immediately recovered. Even an attempt to fraud would require
the conspiracy of four key people and in Finance, that &lt; 100% unlikely. Eve.

if it should happen, such fraud would be immediately discovered under our
system of checks and balenkes: Fiscal will voucher and pay around 7,000 bills
this year for such items ak supplies, services, Travel Vouchers, rent, tele-
phone, utilities, equipment, etc. Fiscal also assists in preparation of budgets
for Programming. Our Budget Control is being refined .and we will soon Vave
capability of more assurance to Management that obligations and expenditures
are as provided by budgets as approved and modified by Management. Fiscal
also controls the Key Punch operations for Data Processing. Our Fiscal
Operation assures the Stzeetoe of Finance and EOA Management that every nickel
of disbursement in its day to day operation is proper in all respects and we
can all sleep well every night in this knowledge.

Finance is now handling all Insurance and Employee Retirement. We
_ inherited this in September,’ 1968. Since that time EOA employees have

enjoyed a much increased Group Insurance and Hospital Benefit Plan. Records

have been brought up-to-date and you are assured of coverage... New booklets
2 -6-
of your coverage are now being made available to you. All claims received
are being processed on the date received. The Retirement Fund has been
audited for the first time -- Retirement records are current and up-to-date.
Many old accounts have been settled. The evaluations for each six-months
period have been established for the periods since 1965 through 6/30/68
and we expect to have made the 12/31/68 evaluation prior to 1/31/69. Each employee
‘fe an up-to-date card record which shows the employee contribution, EOA con-
tribution, number of units credited and the value of such units. We also
handle Workmen's Compensation claims for employees and enrollees totalling
from 1,000 te 2,500 cersons.

The foregcing gives you a “ball-park'" view of what Finance does.

What Joes “he Wirector of Finance do" Well, he attends a lot of
meetings -- has a lot . visitors -- writes a lot of reports (such as this
one) -- and must keep closeiv knowledgeable of all those things going on in
Finance and in EOA as they relate to Finance. His main concern is effort to
see that people in Finance get deserving recognition for the terrific job
they do for EOA and for the people who work in EOA. This report, which is
lacking in much detail in the way of a complete reflection of all those

things done by Finance, is written in appreciation and commendation of the

Department of Finance Staff.
