I.
Assistant Regional Administrator
for Model Cities
Establishing the Start of the Second Action Year
Purpose.
This memorandum sets forth the procedure for establishing the start
of the second action year for each first round Model City.
It
follows discussion at the July and October meetings of Assistant
Regional Administrators and response of ARA's in September to a
memorandum dated July 28, 1969, asking how Regional re-v iew loads
might be spaced out.
I I. Considerations .
Among considerations in setting the start of s econd action year s
are t h e fo llowing:
1.
Nec e ssity of spacing r eview loa ds. If every f ir st r ound city
had exactly a 1 2-month first a ction year, abo~t one - h alf t h e first
round cities and perhaps one-half the second round cities would come
up for review at the same time.
2.
Effect on the cities. In some cities, it appears from results
so far, there is an advantage in entering the second action year
as soon as possible.
Continued planning efforts point to a better
second year program mix than the presently funded first year package.
Shift to the ·s econd year may give the city an opportunity to kill a
few doubtful programs before they start.
On the other hand, some
�-2other cities have started a lot of promising projects but have not
kept pace with their monitoring and evaluation efforts.
A later
shift to second year programrning--perhaps 15 or 16 montbs after the
start of the first year--may give evaluation a better chance to
impact the second year decisions.
3.
Adjustment to local calendars. Some cities will want to fit
their Model Cities program year to the city fiscal year • . others may
prefer not to do this.
Some cities may wish to avoid making program
decisions at the time of municipal elections.
There may be other
local reasons for preferring one renewal time over another.
4.
Effect on quality of review.
Because of changing conditions
in the cities--new leadership, a later start of projects, etc.--there
may be some cities which the RICC and the HUD staff feel will be
easier to review at a later time than others.
5.
Funds available to the cities.
Obviously a city that is
running out of money must be reviewed promptly, or perhaps given a
few months' money to finance a first year continuation until the
seco nd year planning can be reviewed.
At this point, however, it
appears very doubtful that any first round cities are going to be
out df funds 12 months after their contract signing.
III.
carry-over of unspent funds.
An important factor of entering the second action year is the disposition of funds obligated to the city for the first action year
but not spent.
In various ways· we have promised the cities that
such funds may be carried over into succeeding years, providing the
city is performing well in the programo A city that may have started
�-3-
sl,:)·.-;ly but has steadily increased program momentum during the first
y-s::. rr should not be punished in the second year.
However, i:.he
national purpose of the Model Cities Program may not ris i·. rall ser v,~d
by allocating a full second round target figure to cities whict
have shown little or no promise in getting good programs started
in the fir.st year.
Even for good cities, there may be a problem in building up a
spending rate in the second year which cannot be maintained in the
third year.
For example:
City A has a first round target figure
of $4 million and a second round figure of the same.
During the
first year, while projects were starting up, it spent only $2 million.
With carry-over, it then has $6 million for the second year.
If the city's supplemental spending consists entirely of on-going
staff or other expenses, as compared to one-time capital expenses,
for which there is no take-over source in the third year, it cannot
establish a $6 million spending rate in the second year without
facing a likely cut of $2 million for the third year.
The tendency
of all projects to get more expensive without increasing their
scope (because of pay raises, more utilization of services and other
reasons) heightens this risk.
Therefore, cities shall not be allowed to use their remaining
first round funds to increase their second year spending rate
except to the extent that:
1.
An amount equal to the first round carry-over is applied to
capital or other projects which, by their nature, will not require
renewal in the third year, or
2.
The city can demonstrate a commitment from other sources,
�-4-
preferably local or State , to carry out the exce·ss on-going projects
in year three, or
3.
A combination of #1 and #2.
In cases where the city has carry-over but cannot meet the above
conditions for spending the carry-over in year two, either of t h e fol lowing steps may be taken :
A.
The city's first year may be stretched out to use all or
part of the carry-over.
This technique should be used
when a stretch-out is desirable for other reasons--in particular, when it will result in a better s.e cond year program,
or
B.
The c i ty may be renewed without stret ch- out, but the allowab l e
s.e cond year spending level wil l be held to the second year
tar get f igure without the carr y- over , or without that part
of the carry - over not covered by paragr aphs 1 t o 3 i mmed iately
above.
Example:
Ci t y A, cited above, shows that $1 million of
its projected second year programming represents one- time
expenditure, either as capital projects or as projects
for which other funding is secure for the third year.
It's
s pending guideline for the second year would be $5 million.
Th e city would not be per mitt ed to carry f or ward $1 million
of i ts fir st year f unds .
Where a city , because of a pplication of the above, it not a l lowed
to add all or part of its carry-over to its second year spending
level, it should be indicated to the city that it may get the
~emaining increase during the seqond year.if it can come up with
�-5-
one-time projects as described above.
Example:
Half-way through
its second action year, City A identifies a new adult education
project for which State or loo~~ funds will be available in the
third year.
It may start t~is project on supplemental funds in
advance of its other fundi,.ng.
Given these operating considerations and policies, we now
request that ARA's recommend a specific starting date fo~ the second
action year of each first round city.
This date should be not less
thaµ ten months nor more that 18 months after start of the first
action year.
It will be the Central Office intention to follow the
ARA's recommendations providing the tqtal pattern of recommendations
is consistent with obligation and spending patterns.
If recommen-
dations have to be changed . to meet these considerations, it is hoped
that the changes will affect only a few cities.
Proposed changes
will be discussed with the ARA's, and time will be allowed to discuss them with the citi~s before final decision.

Administering the Demonstration
Cities- Program in Atlanta
I, Rationale:
The draft prepared by several agencies in connection with
the Mayor's Director of Government Liaison outlines the goals
and steps by which Atlanta can participate in the recently
passed Model Cities or Demonstration Cities Act of 1966.
What this statement neglects to outline is the methodology
by which these goals and programs are to be accomplished. The
implementation of this plan is perhaps its most crucial component.
Plans there are in abundance. But the skillful execution of such
plans remains the key to effective action.
That Atlanta posses the fundamental resources it needs to
meet the requirements of the Demonstration Cities Plan is without
doubt. What is required is less the creation of new mechanisms
than the effective harnessing and, where necessary, the reorientation
st.

tein
together the tools of
As such the coordination and implementation of the plan should
begin with this end in mind and, accordingly, build from this
| 3h |P
As such the plan calls for an agency which carries both the
capacity and means for integrating social and physical planning
functions. The only agency which is currently geared to meet 2
this need in terms:of action is the Economic Opportunity Atlanta
Program.
It.. EOA & Demonstration Cities:
On at least two’ bases, if not all three, the Economic
Opportunity Program is uniquely equipped to conduct the plan of
attack outlined in the draft statement.
The plan calls for Neighborhood Organization and Resident
Participation. In each of the target neighborhoods delineated
for the Demonstration Cities Program, EOA has developed well-
organized and functioning neighborhood groups. Most of these
have been actively involved in initiating planning activities
for the Demonstration Cities Program.
These neighborhood groups have made it possible for the first
real "grass roots" leadership to participate in planning community
life. Every aspect of the community is dealt with, from employ-
ment to education, housing to health, recreation and aging.
Secondly, the plan calls for the improvement of Health and
Welfare and the physical renewal of the area. In both instances
Lops neighborhood committees have organized to survey needs and
recommended programs. These neighborhood committees stand ready
to make their contribution.
Finally, as the Act is designed to bring about the
coordination of agencies in an all-out attack on the conditions
of poverty, the framework of the Neighborhood Service Center
program is such that a Technical Advisory Committee is pegatieen
to provide this added and much needed resource.
In review it ean be shown that the Neighborhood Service
Centers in the target, Demonstration Cities Area provide a ready
made well-organized forum for "grass roots seria a
mechanism for attack and a base on which additional program effort
can be laid.
Lilia .Plan“of Attack :
It is, however, not the contention of EOA that its present
structure is entirely sufficient to meet this task alone. Indeed,
were it not for the fact that many agencies have made their
services available from the outset would it be possible for EOA
to have reached its present stage of evolution. It realizes it is
far from the desired goal. But it is on the right road and hopes
this latest effort (Demonstration Cities) will reinforce its
role and future.
There are some areas of need which go beyond the present
structure and activities of the Neighborhood Service Centers. It
remains only to outline some of these to indicate the gaps which
should be closed with additional programs and personnel.
A. Present activities include:
1. Employment - job placement, counseling
referrals, training opportunities, etc.
2. Social Services - multi-purpose needs
- (health, family counseling, day care,
aging, ‘etc.) :
3. Education ~ community schools, adult
€ducation, etc.
4. Housing - relocation assistance and
housing information
B. Need Areas:
1. Economic infra-structures - businesses -
lending institutions, commerical establish-
ment, etc,
2. Social infra-structures-community clubs,
recreation halls, etc.
3. Physical infra-structures-roads, parks, etc.
IV. Implementation:
It is recommended that these centers which are located in
the Demonstration Cities Area should be meeaes into a Demonstration
Cities Planning Task Force. As such they would be funded through
the initial planning grant while providing services at the same
time.
These centers would be administered by the Mayor's office
under a Demonstration Cities Project Officer who is responsible
to the Mayor. Although officially responsible to the Mayor,
these centers would continue to operate under the administrative
. procedures of the local CAA.
The local CAA, EOA, would provide at least one coordinator
from its office to that of the Mayor's Demonstration Cities
Office,
4.
V. Evaluation: '
Under terms still unwritten an evaluation of the
Demonstration Cities Program, the Neighborhood Center Program
and the coordirmation of these activities would be undertaken by
a local educational institution. Hopefully, this negotiation
would lead to a greater, sustained involvement of the academic
community in urban problems,
“raeally, Atlanta University and Georgia State College
and/or Emory University could fulfill this need.

Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal
An aggressive and effective force for citizen participation in urban
renewal and associate activities is the Citizens Advfsory Committee
for Urban Renewal. Authorized by resolution of the Board of
Aldermen, this committee has a membership of some 80 citizens,
appointed by the mayor. The membership represents all sections
of the city and the ·various economic strata of business and
professional life. Special care is taken to have at least 40 per cent
of the membership from the minority race.
Ever since Atlanta became actively engaged in urban renewal, this
citizens committee has been very forceful in broadening public
understanding of the aims and actions in the various projects. It
has subcommittees specifically assigned to each point in the city• s
workable program. A special subcommittee has worked closely with
the Community Improvement Program since its inception. The
Citizens Advisory Committee as a whole headed up a campaign which
played a leading role in strengthening the city• s housing code enforcement program to meet workable program requirements. The full
committee meets four times a year.
At the first meeting of each year, the mayor outlines his plans for
the year in urban renewal and housing, as was done in January of
the present year. The executive committee meets during each of the
other months of the year. At its February meeting the executive
committee centered its program on the plans for the city• s application
to be included in the model neighborhood demonstration program.
To obtain fuller citizen participation in each new urban renewal project
added to the Atlanta program, the main Chairman of the Citizens
Advisory Committee appoints an associate committee in the project
area. Chairman of this associate committee meets regularly with
the full committee and the executive committee. The committee's
e x ecutive director meets with the associate committees and attends
citizens meetings in the project areas.
The committee conducts citizen tours of present urban renewal projects
and areas being considered for future projects. Groups from 40 to 75
citizens are thus given a first hand view of slum conditions. These
tours are conducted all through the year , averaging at least one a month.
�During the first two months of 1967, such different groups as two
Georgia Tech classes, a Georgia State college class, the
provisional members of the Atlanta Junior League and a women's
club in an area adjacent to the model neighborhood target area were
taken on tours by the Citizens Advisory Committee in conjunction
with the Atlanta Housing Authority which is the city's agent for urban
renewal.
The Citizens Advisory Committee is supported by public contributions
and a matching fund from the city. It is staffed by an executive
director, who is a former TIME and LIFE staff writer of 25 years
experience and a secretary. The chairman is Robert L. Sommerville,
president of the Atlanta Transit Company, and one of Atlanta's topmost
ci vie leaders.

9. Churches
These institutions possess great influence and organizational strength,
not as units of social service but as bodies‘ under whose pastors and
leaders there is veto or endorsement power in community affairs, Over
100 Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, Holliness, African
Methodist and other Atlanta Urban League congregations, large and small
are active in the area, This local unit of the National organization
works with Neighborhood Organizations and disseminates Model Neighborhood
Program information to them. They, in turn, presented this information
to their club members. They also compiled a list of active neighborhood
associations in the area,
Goals
What are the goals sought with respect to citizen participation?
1. Provide ssiehbortods residents with a more meaningful role in the
re-building and restructuring of their own communities. Planning
should be carried out with, as well as for, the people living in the
affected area.
a. Promote local support for program success.
b. Develop more capacity and self-sufficiency among area residents
necessary to sustain gains made through the program.
Atlanta, Georgia
Part III, Page N9
February 17, 1967
c. Increase community neighborhood organizations' capacity to
continue actively to represent neighborhoods beyond the execution
period of Model Neighborhood Program.
Provide more mechanisms in the program for a flow of communication and
social contact between the citizens of the area and residents in
other parts of the city. The result will be two-fold: low income
residents of the Model Neighborhood Area will see the life style of
other people and the latter will better understand the problems of
the Model Neighborhood.
Develop a Citizen Participation Program to give a voice to all elements
of the local population from all parts of the area through small churches,
meeting places and little gatherings in addition to large ones.
Utilize existing neighborhood organizations where possible, find
and involve unorganized people, get to know every family, knock on doors.
Provide full information to area residents concerning the program,
planning decisions to be made, alternative courses of action; solicit
expression of residents! concerns, desires, and needs, individually
and in groups.
Incorporate resident's concern, desires and needs in planning and
execution of the program.
Develop means of introducing views of area residents in policy making.
Afford opportunities to city-wide and metropolitan groups to discuss the
impact of the program on their particular areas and interests and
bring to bear their points of view in the planning and execution of
the demonstration program.
Utilize existing citizen committees established under other Federal
programs such as CACUR, and EOA groups.

Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. (EOA), The Community Action Agency
operates three Neighborhood Service Centers in the Model Neighborhood
Area:
Price, Pittsburg, and Summerville-Mechanicsville (Sum-Mec).
Organized block clubs held elections for official representatives
on three Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Councils (CNAGs). These
neighborhood groups meet monthly, discuss community problems, work
with component Area Block groups, and become exposed to total city
resources and problems.
The CNAC acts as a sounding board for problems from individual
Ne
Area Blocks and a vehicle for the EOA center staff in communicating
with the community. CNACs have representation on a Citizens
Central Advisory Council.
EOA works with neighborhood, social and church groups at their
request who have specific interests or group needs.
A Technical Néighborhood Advisory Council in each area, composed
of leaders and professionals living or working therein, are
resource people to help the less fortunate people of the center
area. The CNAC for each neighborhood center discusses physical,
economic and social problems and possible solutions.
Selected and trained residents of the center areas serve as salaried
neighborhood aides for each phase of EOA activity.
Citizen participation activities in center programs include:
Price Area recreational council, Price business improvement classes,
Pittsburg community center project, Sum-Mec Development Enterprises,
Inc., Good Neighbors Club (Sum-Mec), and Sum-Mec Pilot Project in
citizenship training.

Specific activities concerning Model Neighborhood Program in center
programs are: beginning in February, 1966, EOA, Summec and Price
leaders held meetings of staff, CNAC and heads of organizations of
southeast Atlanta to acquaint themselves with Demonstration Cities
bill and determine a plan of action. They requested the city to make
application for Demonstration Cities funds, asked to be the first
| area to receive assistance under Demonstration Cities Act of 1966 and
| finally uddoiness themselves into: a temporary Summec-Price-Pittsburg
| "Demonstration Cities" group. About the time it became known that
this area was to be included in the eity’s first Model Neighborhood
Application, Area Block elections for CNAC representatives in the
Model Neighborhood Area were being held.
The Summec-Price-Pittsburg group held a Model Neighborhood Community
Group Workshop on February 15, 1967 to discuss the program and divided
into committees according to the Program's major activities
such as housing, health and recreation.
3. Atlanta Housing Authority
The Rawson-Washington Uxban Renewal Project was the only area within the
Model Neighborhood Area with which the Atlanta Housing Authority has
had contact. Within this area, the Authority has set up an on-site
project office for the purpose of providing information to citizens living
in the project area,
Through the Atlanta Housing Authority's Public Information Office, in-
formational brochures on various aspects of the program are made available
to citizens in the project areas. Slide presentations to civic, church,
school and club groups are presented, allowing for discussion afterward.
For special activities, radio and TV programs are arranged.

At present, approximately ninety cars have been moved from
the area.
Litter Baskets = Litter baskets were requested for some areas.
Eight litter baskets have been placed to date.
City Work Crews = City work crews were sent to some areas to cut
grass from sidewalks and vacant lots, and to remove trees and ‘roots
from walking areas.
Sanitation Inspectors are now giving tickets and notices to
citizens in the area who continue to neglect and litter their
premises.
Housing Code Enforcement and Inspection
A.
Building inspectors are working in the area on a limited basis and
in response to calls from area citizens. A great number of tickets
have not been given perhaps due to the lack of adequate housing to
accomodate the displaced families.
Ill.

B. Approximately forty unfit dwellings which received tickets from
the Coding Inspector have been demolished.
School Improvements
A. Peter James Bryant is adding portables to accommodate its over-
flowing student body.
B. The Community School Program is underway and is doing a very fine
job in its adult programs.
Recreation
A. Capitol Avenue School has added a full program in recreation to its
playground facility for the young people in the area.
B. Sum-Mec Center's Recreation Room is a much enjoyed facility for
some of the area's teen-agers and adolescence.
C. The Connally Play hot carried a capacity crowd until school opened
and is still doing big business after school hours.
Street and Traffic Improvements
A. The area citizens are very proud of the following streets which
were paved: Terry Street from Georgia Avenue to Bass; Bass Street
from Martin to Capitol Avenue; Glenn Street from Reed to Connally;
Terry Street from Glenn to Crumley; Little Street, Crumley Street
from Fraser to Martin.
B. Partially paved streets are Rawson, Formwalt, Windsor, Cooper,
Eugenia and Fulton.
Side walks are being repaired and replaced in Census tracts
45 and 46.
Crosswalks and school zone control lights placed on the corner
of Martin Street and Memoria] Drive, Census Tract 48,
-~ 3 «=
This effort was a real echievement on which area citizens had
been working for ten or more years. They had had meetings with
City officials, had written letters with Signatures of organizations
attached, had protested to the Board of Education. Finally, one of
the area groups, "The Friendly Citizens", protested on the corner
of busy Memorial Drive with radio, television, and some City
officials present. After the demonstration, these much needed
items were installed.
A group of citizens in Census Tract 46 registered a complaint
about the poor lighting on Bass Street between Pryor and Formwalt.
The group wrote a protesting letter concerning these conditions,
stating that people leaving the trolley at Bass and Cooper Streets
had great fear of this unlit area, particularly in both directions
on Bass Street, The City responded with lights in both directions
on Bass Street.

Sum-Mee Neighborhood Service Center
Report on Community Improvement Program
Novembet 22, 1966
In.April, 1966, several groups in Sum-Nee area organized neighborhood
clean-up groups in scattered sections of the target area. When the Mayor
declared war on slums in 1'1ay and initiated the Community Improvement Program,
it .seemed a natural for organization of the total cormnunity around it so
as to involve residents in the CIP and form a kind of partnership between
citizens and the City, not to mention the benefits to be derived from a
concentration of city services in the community. To have such a concentration
of services in an area where these had been at such a minimum was indeed
salutary.
The Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Council and the Technical Neighborhood Advisory Committee joined forces in setting up a plan for the entire
area. Committees of the CNAC were assigned responsibilities as liaison
between the community and various city services to work along with the
neighborhood units through block captains. It was hoped that through this
kind of a ppr oach it would be pos sible to maintain continuing interest and
e fforts toward community improv~ment even beyond the Mayor's campa ign.
Many areas have shown decided improvements in their "housekeeping."
Most encouraging were clean-up efforts in some of the wors t "pocket s " i n
the a rea , emerge nce of some potential new l eadership at the "gr ass root s "
level.
EOA gave f ull cooperation, and, in the l a tter stage s, even pr ovided
some t oo ls f or residents to use on a loan basis from t he Center.
While there was ne ither maximum part icipat i on nor one hundred per cent
improvement, results have been a good be ginning in t his direction.
The attached record of tangible accomplishments were result of these
combined efforts. The City not only responded promptly to citizens requests
wheuever possible, but they also made improvements without waiting for
specific requests. As encouraging a s this record i s , the interest
generated, participation initiated, and successes experienced are achievemeats that are even more significant.

Sum-Mec Neighborhood Service Center
Report on Community Improvement Program
November 22, 1966
In April, 1966, several groups in Sum-Mec area organized neighborhood
clean-up groups in scattered sections of the target area. When the Mayor
declared war on slums in May and initiated the Community Improvement Progran,
it seemed a natural for organization of the total community around it so
as to invotve residents in the CIP and form a kind of partnership between
citizens and the City, not to mention the benefits to be derived from a
concentration of city services in the community. To have such a concentration
of services in an area where these had been at such a minimum was indeed
salutary.
The Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Council and the Technical Neighbor-
hood Advisory Committee joined forces in setting up a plan for the entire
area. Committees of the CNAC were assigned responsibilities as liaison
between the community and various city services to work along with the
neighborhood units through block captains. It was hoped that through this
kind of approach it would be possible to maintain continuing interest and
efforts toward community improvement even beyond the Mayor's campaign.
Many areas have shown decided improvements in their "housekeeping."
Most encouraging were clean-up efforts in some of the worst "pockets" in
the area, emergence of some potential new leadership at the “grass roots"
level.
EQOA gave full cooperation, and, in the latter stages, even provided
some tools for residents to use on a loan basis from the Center.
While there was neither maximum participation nor one hundred per cent
improvement, results have been a good beginning in this direction.
The attached record of tangible accomplishments were result of these
combined efforts. The City not only responded promptly to citizens requests
whemever possible, but they also made improvements without waiting for
specific requests. As encouraging as this record is, the interest
generated, participation initiated, and successes experienced are achieve-
ments that are even more significant.

Young Ben of the lower area of Pryor Street along with Representative John
Hood came to the Extension Manager's Office with a community problem. This
problem was centered around a place of business known as "Murray's Liquor
Store, Wine and Beer Super-rett" and "Carrol's Drive-in Tavern, all
located on the corner of Pryor and Ridge. There have been numerous counts
of disorder over the years‘at this location. Very little was done to
correct the situation until a sixteen year old young man was killed by
Security Guards of scurrilous nature.
The Extension Manager called a meeting of the comuunity to get more informae
tion as to the reason of the young man's death and the vice of the business
corner, The meeting at the Church of God brought forth more information.
Young men, young ladies and adults expressed the following information
which proved to be facts. The management of the liquor store, beer and
wine store and Tavern was selling alcoholic beverages to minors. The
Security Guard beat up numerous and septuagenarian citizens who were not on
Murray's or Carrol's property, and the ones who were, were beaten into sub~
mission. There was talk of rape but no facts provided. Activities of all
kinds are done in cars on the lot and behind the tavern,
The Extension Manager was told of a plot to burn down the corner by many
young men and women of the neighborhood, The group was found,. an appeal
was made by the =xtension Wanager, Representative Hood and Lir. Peters, CHA
Chairman to let us try to use the avenues of the law and refrain from
violence. After hours of talking, the young people agreed to use the
courts of law to close the corner but assured-us if the court did not close
the three businesses, the neighborhood would without regard to life or
property.
The following action vas put into operation: The investigation of the
young maa's death; proof was established from the coroner's report that the
bullet came fro; a .22 calibre gun carried secretly on one of the Security
Guards. The Guard claimed one of the young men in the group shot the young
wan. The Guard has been bound over to the State for murder. With what
information the citizens had, a committee was sent to the Police Committee
at City Hall.

After hearing the complaint, the Police Committee booked the case for

why their license should not be revoked.
The Extension Maneger Cee. information that the owner, Mr. Murray has
unusual power in the city stxucture. His long arm reaches very deeply- into
the ranks of the poldee”! force and some of the city officials. Reports
show that many charges haye been brought asainst his business but never seem
to get to court. The conwunity citizens were organized into groups to
produce evidence that could not be thrown out of court. The Citizens
couwnittee feels sure iir, irray cannot control every alderman of the Police
Comaittee chaired by Alderwan Richard Freeman,
The Extension ilanager was visited by Captain Mullens of the Atlanta Police
Department. Captain iullens assured se this would be a very hard case to
win due to lack of evidence. The ixtension Manager called on City officials
whom he had worked with before and obtained the following evidence from |
police reports: Over 87 serious accounts of disorder this year, an average
£ 34 people are arrested each weekeend., Sots of all kinds are forever
present in and around the area. The Guard who shot the young man had a
police record in Florida and Georgia.
With this evidence city officials who attended the next meeting said this
was enough to declare the, corner a "Public Nuisance." Wow the citizens
ceeply hope that the Police Committee will vote to close this corner for the
improvement of the community, and prevent the violence of the young people,
who are tired of waiting for the results of the court August 31, 1°56.
Not only are the young people of the area a problem alone, the Vine City
agitators plus the Black Power Organization are standing by to move in on
‘the action,

SUMMERHILL - MECHANICSVILLE
DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISE, INC.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
January 23, 1967
On Tuesday, December 26, 1966 the Summerhill-Mechanicsville Development Enterprise group, which has been developed primarily by the SummerHill-Mechanicsville Neighborhood Service Center of Economic Opportunity
Atlanta, Inc. became a legal corporation. The general purpose of this
corporation is to provide employment for adult semi-skilled and unskilled
workers who come from the poverty areas of the Metropolitian Atlanta area.
It does at this time include residents with experience that will lead to
management of small businesses. ·
The operation of the corporation includes the demolition, cleaning
and boarding-up and renovation and repair of sub-standard housing and
properties. The demolition, cleaning-up, and boarding-up is done in
close cooperation with the appropriate departments of the city of Atlanta
that relate to housing. The renovation and repair operations are contracted from private individuals.
It is anticipated that the work of the corporation will involve demolition and boarding-up 41% of the time. The remaining percentage of
the work, being renovation and repair work, should provide work for the
people in the corporation on a full-time, year-round basis. At any time
there might be a slack period, Mr o Charles Holt, owner of the Lane Grading
Company will give them work during that period of time on his company's
payroll. Mr . Holt is a member of the Board of Directors of the corporation.
In planning and developing this project, an organization of residents
from the poverty area of Summerhill - Mechanicsville was formed through the
use of appropriate technical assistance from the different parts of Economic
Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. Skilled, ex perienced, licensed, and technical
personnel are the workers themselves, and they do posses necessary technical skills for a successful operation as well as the desire to manage their
own company. Equipment and part of their on-the-job training will be provided by Mr. Chat les Holt . Mr . H< is donating his training services to
this corporation, but he will be paid for the operation of his heavy equip ment. Other advice and training in the operation and management of their
businesses is being provided by a technical advisory committee (see attached
sheet for members names) . Weekly detailed supervision will be given to the
business manager of the corporation by a committee from the Atlanta Jaycees,
who will be readily available in a hous e they have rented in the Sunnnerhill
Mechanicsvtlle area.
�Statement of Operations Continued
Page 2
January 23, 1967
The corporation will continue to exist to provide a chance for the
residents of Atlanta pvoerty areas to help them help themselves through
the betterment of their own housing and other living conditions. As the
corporation develops, it will have as a basic goal, the increase employment of poverty area resident, rather than the maximization of profit.
The support that the corporation has found during its organization
and development has been very encouraging. Many people in Atlanta believe
the general purpose of re-developing the slum areas to be a very worthwhile endeavor that will be welcomed by the city as a whole. The part
that the Surrnnerhill-Mechanicsville Development Corporation is to play in
this has been highly commended. (See attached letters) .
With the coupling of the worthy purpose of the corporation, the
ambition and desire of the corporation members and the support of the
corporation from public and private interests in Atlant, the success of
the business is most certainly assured.

A Repmrt of Citizen Participation in the
Pittsburg Connnunity
The Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center, as is true of all
other centers, has a citizen's advisory connnittee, whose primary function
is to keep the staff of the center advised on changing needs and suggested remedies.
Since the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center is
still operating with a temporary connnittee, and is only now holding
elections for its first permanent committee, the ad hoc committee in
this community is much larger and has a broader base than normal.
The
prior function of this group had been to generate sufficient connnunity
concern and interest, and to demonstrate to EOA Headquarters a need
for a center in the Pittsburg Community .
To this end, meetings were
held over a period of a year during which all of the committees and
sub-committees functioned .
Whe n the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center opened, this
temporar y connnittee continued to advise.
Representing approx imately
fou r hundr ed (400) people , this group has been able to give direct i on
to the cent er from a var iety of experiences , and from a gene r al k nowledge of c ommuni ty problems .
Things f or which th is corrnnuni ty is or
has been d i re c t l y re spon sibl e are:
1 - rec ommendat ion s f or indige neou s and indigent p er sons
t o be empl oyed
2
determination of prioritie s o f service
3 - selec tion of s ite
4 - advocate s for the c enter.
�A further evidence of citizen involvement may be demonstrated by
the neighborhood elections which are now in progress.
The entire
connnunity, which has been subdivided into groups called area blocks,
is at work electing persons to represent them on a permanent connnittee,
and this is being accomplished via the same procedure used in all
local and national elections.
The same machines used in general
elections are being used in these neighborhood elections, and the
same registration procedures are being employed.
After a survey conducted
by the center staff, and after finding that voter registration did not
account for a reasonable percentage of the total community population,
the ad hoc committee of the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center felt
that in conjunction With the election process, some emphasis should be
placed on voter registration.
In all of these instances, the entire
staff of the center has operated both at the direction of the committee, and in response to the obvious need for organization.
One major pr oject, which is still continuing, is a cooperative
effort of the center and the Pittsburg Civic League toward the acquisition of a community center.
The extension and housing departments,
along with the director, have had plans drawn up, inspected sites and
written proposals, all at the direction of the Pittsburg Civic League.
Contact has been m~de with Dr. Phillip Weltner of The Whitehead
Foundation wi th the hope that funds for this project may be made avail-
'
able.
Due to some difficulty with a wi ll, the first choice was re-
luctantlY, rejected.
Title searche s are in process to determine the
availability of other sites, and, hopefully, the Pittsburg Civic League
will be able to realize this ambition in the very near future.
There are other instances of general connnunity involvement which
are usually on a smaller scale , and would require a more specific and
numerical presentation.
�All of the above are submitted as examples of the involvement of
the Pittsburg Cormnunity through the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service
Center in the solution of their own problems.

When the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center opened, this
temporary committee continued to advise. Representing approximately
four hundred (400) people, this group has been able to give direction
to the center from a variety of experiences, and from a general know-
ledge of community problems. Things for which this community is or
has been directly responsible are:
1 - recommendations for indigeneous and indigent persons
to be employed
2 - determination of priorities of service
3 - selection of site
4 - advocates for the center.
A further evidence of citizen involvement may be demonstrated by

by the center staff, and after finding that voter registration did not
account for a reasonable percentage of the total community population,
the ad hoc committee of the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service Center felt
that in conjunction With the election process, some emphasis should be
placed on voter registration. In all of these instances, the entire
staff of the center has operated both at the direction of the com-
mittee, and in response to the obvious need for organization.
One major project, which is still continuing, is a cooperative
effort of the center and the Pittsburg Civic League toward the ac-
quisition of a community center. The extension and housing departments,
along with the director, have had plans drawn up, inspected sites and
written proposals, all at the direction of the Pittsburg Civic League.
Contact has been made with Dr. Phillip Weltner of The Whitehead
Foundation with the hope that funds for this project may be made avail-
able. Due to some difficulty with a will, the first choice was re-
luctantly rejected. Title searches are in process to determine the
availability of other sites, and, hopefully, the Pittsburg Civic League
will be able to realize this ambition in the very near future.
There are other instances of general community involvement which
are usually on a smaller scale, and would require a more specific and
numerical presentation.
All of the above are submitted as examples of the involvement of
the Pittsburg Community through the Pittsburg Neighborhood Service
Center in the solution of their own problems.

CITIZENS PARTICIPATION -- PRICE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICE CENTER AREA
Citizens participation in the Price Neighborhood Service Center
area is relatively wide-spread. From the beginning of our existance,
May, 1965, we have had organized neighborhood groups to determine
existing problems, and help to find solutions to these problems.
For the last 12 months, we have broadened this community
participation to neighborhood participation. We have 25 organized
neighborhood groups, or block clubs. These groups meet and discuss
neighborhood, as well as, community problems, and at the same time,
they are exposed to total city resources and problems. Neighborhood
groups also have representation on the over-all Center Advisory
Council.
This council serves as a sounding board for all problems from
the individual areas as well as an excellent vehicle for the Center
staff to relate to the community.
In addition to block organizations, the Center staff has involved
scores of neighborhood, social, and church groups at their requests
who had specific interests for group needs. We have organized five
steps that saw a need for day care services in their community. Two
of these groups were successful in getting two large day care centers.
From a nucleus of a small group of businessmen from the area, we
organized two business improvement clinics. These clinics, ten sessions,
had an average attendance of 50 persons. Two similar-type clinics were
organized with residents of the area who managed apartments. These
residents wanted to gain knowledge on how to properly care for the
property and work with the residents.

approaches to City officials and land owners, and successfully

available.
