Fulton County's department of Public Works under Mr. A, T. McDonald are proceeding to de- velop the driveways and parking area of the park and I assume will do certain underbrush clearing. Stan Ayer of our Park Engineering Division is rapidly completing the work~ ing drawings on the walks in the park as well as grading scheme for the tennis courts and amphitheater. I understand thet Fulton County School authorities will make available two baseball diamonds adjacent to the site which are connected with Guy Webb School, Mr. Kiepper would like a complete proposal including the dates the programs could start and the suggested ending date; the t and number of staff, salary expenses, supply expenses, etc. Please work up an adequate and complete proposal for supervised recreation at your earliest convenience. I would suggest that possibly the program would have to be in the nature of @ day camp activity since facilities would not be completed this summer, Thank you very much.

[Eal r• FULTON COUNTY ATLANTA, GEORGIA STATEMENT BY THE COUNTY COMMISSION ON THE FULTON COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAM APRIL 6 , 19 6 7 The 1967 Session of the General Assembly of Georgia adopted an amendment authorizing Fulton County to conduct recreational activities in unincorporated areas using County personnel. The Bill has now been signed into law by Governor Maddox. There has been some speculation in the press and elsewhere regarding the intentions of the Fulton County Commission in this matter, and we are issuing this statement to clarify our position. It is not the intention of the Fulton County Commission to establish and operate a comprehensive program of supervised recreation under the sole jurisdiction of the County government. We believe that the best interests of all c iti zens will be served if duplication of services between the City of Atla nta and Fulton C ounty a re ke pt to a minimum , c onsi ste nt alwa ys with good ope ration. �1 , m:il / -- A ,H ~,J ' \....i \ .1. ._-10.:,1 ~31 \OU JX 0tJ3 X .,__ rI I I -2- It is our purpose to provide park and recreational services as follows: 1. The County will try to provide suitable neighborhood parks and playgrounds in the unincorporated area of Fulton County, including ball fields, picnic ar:eas and playground equipment. We recently submitted an application for Federal assistance in the purchase and development of neighborhood and _ community parks. 2. The Commission has also recently approved a long-range com.:. prehensive plan for the purchase and development of large tracts of open space suitable for future use as regional parks and recreational areas. It is our intention to implement this plan as rapidly as funds, including State and/or Federal grants, are available. 3. We do not plan an elaborate supervised recreational program. A possible exception will be the limited program at Hammond Drive Park in Sandy Springs where the County has already requested the City of Atlanta to plan and submit a proposal for the operation of this facility when completed. 4. It is our intention to cooperate fully with the six municipalities in Fulton County having populations less than 5,000 people, in accordance with the Constitutional Amendments approved by the voters of Fulton County last November. This amendment permits the County government to provide not more than one -half the cost (not to exceed $5,000 . 00 for each municipality) of the annual cost of recreational programs within these municipalities.

Where the cost is acceptable and the particular operation most efficient, we will request the City to provide services. The Commission is aware of the county-wide need for improved recreation and park facilities and services. We are attempting to meet these needs in an orderly and economical fashion within the framework of applicable laws. The newly enacted statute will provide greater flexibility, especially in the outlying communities where there are few recreational facilities of any sort. The Commission has no intention of frustrating or violating the basic objectives of the Plan of Improvement, namely, that duplication of services between Atlanta and Fulton County should be kept to a minimum.

I will write a proposal for a city-wide “Operation Champ" program to begin June lst and go through Labor Day. I will submit this proposal to certain officials at HEW. Their names will be supplied to me by Dan Sweat or others. Miss Virginie Carmichael, Director of Recreation, will compile a comprehensive list of playground equipment and supplies she needs to properly operate the proposed 21 playlots. This list will be given to the Federal Executive Committee for screening purposes and hopefully various agencies such as U.S. Forestry Dept., etc. will come forth with ice chests, shelter halves, playground apparatus, etc, & will have my proposal on “Operation Champ" ready by Friday, April 7, 1967. For your information, we have already submitted to Mr. Emmerich several months ago a proposal for the operation of playlots in Atlanta this summer, Mr. Emmerich hes been supplied «4 lRensive report on the success of last summers playlots as well as “Operation Champ" program. I will send Mr, Emmerich, shortly, a proposal on "Operetion Champ” ~— I could probably make a Xerox of the proposal to HEW. Both neighborhood playlot and "Operation Champ" pwoposals are being submitted to EOA eventhough we are informed that no funds are available. We merely wish to be in a position to avail ourselves of anything that might materialize at the last minute.

National Headquarters erep pleasure to write fo you In pralse of one of our seh affftlfated Pop Warner Junlor League Football organi za= tlons, the Northside Youth Organizatton, Iinc,, sponsors of the outstanding Buckhead "Red Devi Is" football team of your city. The Buckhead "Red Devils" and thelr head coach, Mr, Robert Blackwell, of 4545 Powers Ferry Road, N.W., Atlanta, have been afflllated with our natlonwide Pop Warner safety-first, academic footbel! program for -the past ten years. in each of those ten years their team has always been one of the top examples of the Pop Warner philosophy of. combining out- standing football with the scholastic achievement and sportsman= ship of each and every one of Its boys, Last year this ee tL outstanding record was capped with natlonal success when the Buckhead “Red Devils" won the 1966 Pop Warner Scholastic-Football World Champlonship over all r., Pop Warner teams In their age and welght diviston tn the natlone ' Because of this, and because of thelr years of exempliying the best qualities of Pop Warner Junior League Football, last September the Buckhead "Red Devils" were Invited to Philadelphia to play an exhibtlon of Pop Werner football on Franklin Fleld before 60,000 fans following the Ineugurel game of the Atlanta “Falcons” in the Natlonal Football League, played against the Philadelphia "Eagles" ‘ The “Red Devl is" have also placed a youngster on the Pop Warner “All-America Team of Little Scholars In most of their years of affillation with the Nattonal Pop Warner preeren. The most recent “Red Devils" Pop Warner "All-America" Team member was 14-year-old Robert Jameson who was named to the 15th Annual Pop Warner All-America Team of Little Scholars last June. In conclusion, we feel certain thet any youth activity the Northside Youth Organization, the Buckhead "Red Devils” and Mr, Robert “Bob" Blackwell! would undertake, whether In be football, some other sport or even some non=sport activity, would have to be a success.

Earl Landers of the Mayor's Office has referred to me your correspondence of April 11, 1967 in which you raised the possibility of the City of Decatur procuring plants from the City of Atlanta's Greenhoyse on a contractural basis. I believe you are also interested in having the advice and recommendations of our Horticulturist. Nothing would suit me better than to cooperate with the City of Decatur since that is where I was gaised and attended school; and, I have noticed your lovely triangle in downtown Decatur near the Court square. You are to be commended for your efforts. Presently, we have only two Greenhouses in production. We have plans to build two additional units sometime in the next five years, but at the present time it is all we can produce border plants and other materials for our own parks system. As a result, many plante are purchased from private sources such as Monroe Nursery, Golden State Roses, etc, Of course, all are bought on low bid through our Purchasing Department. It would be our pleasure to send our Horticulturist, Mr. Oortman, out to Decatur to discuss your plans and objectives. Mr. Oortman is more of a grower than he is a designer; however, he has an excellent eye for arrangements and planting schemes. By copy of this letter, I am asking Mr. Oortman to contact your office and arrange to meet with you at your convenience, Again, I wish we could be of more assistance and we do appreciate the request and I am Cordially, Jack ¢.

I firmly believe that these accounts should be placed on 2 non- revenue basis in that the tree planting program by private individuals is in fact part of the City's overall beautification plan. However, at the present time, the Department of Parks is not responsible nor does it have the capacity to maintain these trees. We have requested the beautification crew for several years but it has not been possible for one to budgeted in our general appropriations. However, I am of the opinion that ultimately these trees will become the City's responsibility.

The undersigned would particularly appreciate being kept advised if any- thing should develop to delay this project further and I am ery truly yours, A ck C.
