Altho u g h Atlanta schools alleged l y have received preferential tr ea tme nt from the Joint Fulton County-City of Atlanta t ax assessment bo a rd, th e Fulton County schools have more than measured up . In fact, Dr. John Letson admitted that there was substantially no difference in the two systems. Dr. Paul West o f Fulton County added that f or years th e two systems · had been 9pera ting under a coordinat ing board. The city schools offer free kindergartens. It is in tere sting to note tha t the State of Ge orgia is now considering a plan to add-free kind e r ga rt ens to all state schools. Fulton County and Atlanta both have a progr am for mentally and physically handicapped children. - 11 - The tuition is FREE �for both . , ev e r, i n th e cas e of •u l ton County , i f the c h i ldren l i ve too far from th e scho ol, they are TR./1.NSPORTED .

Try dividing this among th e famil i e s of Sandy Spring s, and see how mu c h this NEW , NON - DEDUCTIBLE (on your income tax) "TRANSPO TATION TAX " would add to the cost o f going into the Ci ty o f Atlanta. Since Judge Wood's decision that city schools and ' county schools must have their tax structure equalized, for the ·first time in 1967 Fulton County Schools will have adequate funds. At l a nt a schools will not . Dr . John Letson says he n e eds 64 MILLION DOLLARS to have ad e qua te f u nds.

The capital letters are ours, The statemant, though, is the law. Sanitation costs would not be reduced by annexation enough to make it worth sharpening a pencil to figure, Not only do Sandy Springs residents gat two garbage collections a week, but Fulton County has now installed a service whereby eight collection stations have been located near concentrations of homes in the area. This is an even better service than the Oity provides, because area residents do not have to drive around piles of leaves and trash such as litter the city streets until sanitation trucks finally make their rounds. Just a few blocks in any direction will find the eight cubic yard containers, which will hold everything from raw garbage to cardboard boxes, They are located as follows; ‘ Mt. Vernon Highway at Dupree Drive : Hammond Drive at Glenridge Drive Spalding Drive at Roberts Drive Northside Drive at West Garmon Road Powers Ferry Road at Mt. Paran Road Sandy Springs Circle at Johnson Ferry Road Roswell Road at Dalrymple Road Roswell Road at Hightower Trail These refuse containers have been installed out of necessity in spite of the 1952 Plan of inprovenetit prohibition on Fulton County's engaging in the collection and disposal of garbage and refuse, Section 11, Senédta Bill 105, Georgia laws 1951, states that the authority of Fulton County to eétablish and maintain water, sewer and fire prevention systema ip “hereby repealed," ANNEXATION ;3 SEWAGE The Public Administration Service report states on page 37, "Most of Atlanta's treatment plants, which, as noted earlier, serve a much larger area than just the City, provide only primary treatment~-- which removes only 30-35 percent of the pollutant material before the sewage is discharged back into streams." The "PETITION AND PAY" plan is the only way Sandy Springs would ever get sewer service, City sewer service would not automatically be extended to all homes as a result of annexation. There are many areas within the city limits of Atlanta which do not have sewer service. New sewer service would cost, as set by law, $3.50 per front foot. There would be a connection fee of $80 to $120, This means it would cost app¥oximately $420 to install sewer lines down the average R-2A 120 foot lot, Fulton county has plans to improve the sewer grid, as well as does the City of Atlanta -- witness those homes in Sandy Springs already on sewers. This was obtained under Fulton County Government, WITHOUT "PETITION AND PAY''. ANNEXATION ir4 INCREASED REPRESENTATION City of Atlanta officials have made much of the fact that Sandy Springs area residents could expect to be a new ninth ward, and have two Aldermen elected to represent them, The subject that no one within the City of Atlanta has brought up is contained on page 3114, Georgia Laws 1951, in the so-called Plan of Improvement. It reads as follows: "The mayor and general council shall have power to make - changes in ward lines whenever it is deemed advisable to contract or extend them for the benefit of the citizens thereof, provided that the ward lines, when rearranged, shall not be more than nine wards." The day after election of Aldermen from the new ninth ward, the City of Atlanta's mayor and general council could, BY LAW, do away with exclusive representation from the Sandy Springs area. ANNEXATION #5 PROPERTY TAX The latest mailing from the Atlanta Team for Tomorrow repeats the old statement "taxes would be higher, but the increase would be largely offset...."' and gives an example of a tax increase of $100.12 on an existing $43,000 home in the area. Now, what this i.cest bit of figuring DOESN'T DO is to repeat the statement made in their March 14th release, and we quote, "Furthermore, Buckhead residents found that property values wichin the city went up automatically" (after annexation). We say this statement probably is true, because only by re-valuing (or re-assessing, if you will!) a house can taxes be drastically increased. We are sure that such increase will be just as AUTOMATIC for residents of Sandy Springs, should the area be annexed, as it was for Buckhead, In addition, every set of figures we've seen keeps DEDUCTING for fire taxes, garbage services, etc. Well, you can bu lleve it or not, but that same amount of money is still going out PLUS that little increase they just happen to mention. Property taxes are assessed, by the way, pursuant to the 1952 Plan of Improvement, by a joint City-Fulton County board. "Operations are conducted at and from the Fulton County Administration Building. The Tax Assessment Department is headed by a three-member Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Board of Assessors....Except for its appointment, the Joint Board has little responsibility to either the City or County Government''* *From the Public Administration Service Report. AND DID YOU KNOW FULTON COUNTY COLLECTS ATLANTA'S CITY TAXES FOR THEM? Check the Plan of Improvement. The law, requires Fuiton County not only to collect Atlanta's taxes, but to prepare tax bills and provide office space, as well. ANNEXATION #6 FIRE PROTECTION Much has been made of the fact that the City of Atlanta furnishes fire protection to Fulton County residents of the unincorporated area. Under the 1952 Plan of Improvement the Fulton County Commissioners were forbidden BY LAW to maintain either a fire department or furnish fire prevention facilities except UNDER CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF ATLANTA, or another municipality. Senate Bill No. 105 of the plan of Improvement was written "to authorize the commissioners of said county to enter into contracts with one or more municipalities therein for a fire prevention system in any unincorporated area of said county or to call on the City of Atlanta to furnish the same at ACTUAL COST as long as payment is made therefor; .... to prohibit Fulton County from maintaining fire prevention systems...." So you see, the City only can charge Fulton County residents of the Unincorporated area for the ACTUAL COST of fire protection, and the County CANNOT have a fire department. Since Sandy Springs is developing a business area of its own, these businesses should be able to contribute to lowering the cost of fire protection to area residents. Atlanta maintains that its downtown businesses help defray the cost of fire insurance for jomeowners. We maintain this would be true in the Sandy Springs area, without incurring an indebtedness of an operation which is inefficient and poorly edasnteaks and has little attraction for qualified personnel. The Survey Report of the Public Administration Service says about Atlanta's fire protection, "Manning of the department is short of American Insurance Association standards... Qualified recruits are increasingly hard to attract and resignations are inoveaettie at an alarming rate". In addition, the comment was made in this report, "Its lowest rating (Atlanta's) in the most recent review by the Board (in October, 1964) was in fire prevention." To get down to the hard facts of fire protection -- Sandy Springs will never get any more fire protection than Sandy Springs can pay for. Atlanta reportedly cannot keep enough men on the job now to function efficiently. Buildings over two stories in height were built without conforming to zoning in existence when the Sandy Springs fire classification was obtained. Inadequate fire protection is the fault of the joint city-county zoning board, which allowed structures not provided for in the fire prevention program. We waintain these buildings should pay an increased fire tax to provide for special protection NEEDED BY THEM because they were in apparent violation of existing specifications. ANNEXATION #7 POLICING Under the 1952 Plan of Improvement, the unincorporated ections of Fulton County MUST receive police protection from the ta City of Atianta. In Sandy Springs, because of the limited population, the police have been doing a more than adequate job. Women have been safe going to shopping centers. The incidence of rape Bice within the City of Atlanta is so high that it appears their 1.5 man per thousand population needs to be 2.5 men per thousand, while the 1 per thousand in the Sandy Springs area seems to be establishing a fine record for prevention of crime of this type. Theft and housebreaking, and the more serious crimes of violence and murder, tite almost seemed to confine themselves to the City limits. I€ handling offenses in the unincorporated area through the Fulton County Criminal Court continues to hold crime at the petty low level now maintained in Sandy Springs, we do not feel it would be wise to swap fon City justices, city ordinances o£ Atlanta, and city crime. ANNEXATION iro PAVING AND LIGHTS Streets, sidewalks, street lights and traffic lights almost all come under the "PETITION AND PAY' plan. Exception probably is in the traffic light area, and of the eight lights recommended as being needed, Fulton County already has taken note. Plans already are under way for installation of some of chase lights. The recommended street lights definitely will be on a petition basis. Atlanta could find only THREE MAJOR STREETS IN SANDY SPRINGS BELOW STANDARD. We say this is remarkable in an Sone roughly one-third the size of the City of Atlanta. Extension of these figures SHOULD MEAN that Atlanta only has nine sub-standard major streets. Is that so? By the way--paving comes under the "PETITION AND PAY" plan in the. City of Atlanta. To get a street paved in front of the average R-2A lot would cost THE HOMEOWNER between $726 and $900, should he Live in Atlanta. If he wants a sidewalk, it will cost about $192 more. "PETITION AND PAY" again, except where increases in public safety needs allow the city to lay a sidewalk without petition and charge owners on a front-foot basis. ANNEXATION #9 INCOME TAXES City taxes are deductible items on income taxes, - 10 = 4nyone who has vex Hgunea an income tax knows just how much credit you will get on "Income Taxes" for the amount of city taxes paid. And you still have to pay the city taxes! Will the dedustien you get balance the tax you will have to pay? eyed has yet! Also, we point out deduction does not apply if short form return is used; only when long form 1040 is used, listing all deductions, would these taxes be deductible. ANNEXATION #10 SCHOOLS Atlanta schools have nothing to offer children attending Fulton County schools. Although Atlanta schools allegedly have received preferential treatment from the .joint Fulton County-City of Atlanta tax assessment board, the Fulton County schools have more than measured up. In fact, Dr. John Letson admitted that there was substantially no difference in the two systems. Dr. Paul West of Fulton County added that for years the two systems’ had been operating under a coordinating board. The city schools offer free kindergartens. It is interesting to note that the State of Georgia is now considering a plan to add-free kindergartens to all state schools. Fulton County and Atlanta both have a program for mentally and physically handicapped children. The tuition is FREE = jl «= for both. . -ever, in the case of Fulton County, if the children live too far from the school, they are TRANSPORTED. Needless to say, this is a real help to a family which already has the extra burden of a handicapped child. Fulton County has school psychologists and psychometrists. It pioneered specialists in such areas as curriculum development and reading. Fulton County operates a joint vocational training program with the City of Atlanta. If bus service is lost, Atlanta Transit Company HAS NOT agreed to furnish transportation at ten cents a ride. And it .2 did, it would only take some $57,000 a year to transport those children now being transported free. Try dividing this among the families of Sandy Springs, and see how much this NEW, NON-DEDUCTIBLE (on your income tax) "TRANSPORTATION TAX" would add to the cost of going into the City of Atlanta. Since Judge Wood's decision that city schools and’ county schools must have their tax structure equalized, for the first time in 1967 Fulton County Schools will have adequate funds. Atlanta schools will not. Dr. John Letson says he needs 64 MILLION DOLLARS to have adequate funds. He can borrow only 21.5 million, because, to put it quite simply, the property he has just won't take any bigeer first mortgage (school tax assessment., The amount of money, that can be borrowed is limited by the tax base (amount of property) by the State Legislature. SO, INSTEAD OF FULTON COUNTY SCHOOLS BEING IN DIRE NEED, IT IS IN REALITY THE CITY OF ATLANTA SCHOOLS, in’spite of larger tax assessments, and no homestead exemption deductions, that are IN DIRE NEED OF FUNDS. Fulton County schools have NO CHILDREN ON DOUBLE SESSION -- Atlanta has more than THREE THOUSAND. Just in passing, City and County officials alike are NOT agreed that the eventual merger of the two systems will take plece. 2 3 4  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Boulder Park Referendum May 11, 1966 The facts and figures in this booklet have been thoroughly checked and approved by the City of Atlanta. �PREFACE In the referendum to be held May 11, 1966, the people of Boulder Park are being offered an opportunity to join the City of Atlanta and to help make a great city even greater. It will be the first time this question has been considered by the Boulder Park voters. This booklet contains questions and answers dealing with the main issues involved in the referendum. The information was compiled by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, with the full cooperation of the City of Atlanta. All the facts herein have been thoroughly checked by the City of Atlanta and their accuracy confirmed.

I l'A "' '?\\ ..... . ~ _··-< ' -~ �. ~ Q. -· What would happen to m y tax bill? How much more would it cost me to receive the improved services inside the city? A. - The ad valorem taxes on your home and personal property would be higher inside the city, but the increase in taxes would be largely offset by reductions in other charges. In almost every case, the net result would be only a moderate ine-rease in the total. In some cases, the homeowner would pay less inside the city. As an example, consider the effect on one of the homes taken from a random survey of Boulder Park residences . The example is a singlefamily frame dwelling. Its value, for tax purposes, is 14,920. The 1965 Fulton County real estate tax bill on this prope rty was 107. 35 and the personal property tax was j 32. 33 -- a total tax of $139. 68. If the home had been inside the city, the county and city real estate tax would have been _$ 191. 63 and the personal property tax would have been $33. 25 for a total tax of 224. 88 . The increase inside the city would have been $85. 20. This increase in ad valorem taxes would have been largely offset by lower charges in two areas: Water and fire insurance. The actual water bill for this residence la st year was $80 . 02 , which is very close to the average bill shown in a survey of some 25 homes in the Boulder Park area. Inside the city, the water bill would have been ~40. 30, a decrease of 39. 72 It is more difficult to arrive at the exact saving possible in lower insurance r at es for the homeowner, becaus e of the several different types of insurance he might choose. But a good e stimate can be obtained by comparing the rates for "straight fire insurance" on his dwelling. Since the va lue of his lot makes up part of the total value of his prop er ty, a ssume that his dwelling is value d at $ 12, 000 of the $ 14, 92 0 total . Straight fir e insurance on this amount would be $120 . 6Q_in Boulde r Par k, which has a Clas s 10 r ating . Inside Atlanta, which ha s a Class 3 r a ting, the sa me fire insur ance would cost $25.2 0, a difference of 95.40. The s anitary servic e c harge fo r this home is $21. 00 at pr esent . In the c ity the c harge would be $22. 00 for greatly impr oved service . Thus, in the example, an ad valorem tax incr ease of. 85. 20 and an incre ase of j 00 ·n s a nitary service charge would be offset by savings of_ 39. 72 (water) and $.a5_.-4.0 (fire insurance ). The net difference would be a saving of $48. 92 if the home were inside the city. Another "intangible" saving will work to the benefit of homeowners when they file federal and state income taxes . Both federal and state income tax procedures allow local tax payments to be claimed as a "deduction" . Payments for such items as water and insurance are -1- �not "deductible." This means that the homeowner inside the city -whose property taxes are higher and other charges lower -- can deduct a greater portion of his total payments for income tax purposes. The net effect on his income tax bill would vary, depending on the income bracket and other factors. But a conservative estimate is that the typical homeowner could reduce his combined federal and state income taxes by about 20 per cent of the additional amount deductible for ad valorem taxes. In other words, the taxpayer in the example shown above could deduct $85. 20 more if he were inside the city, and the estimated saving on his income taxes would be $17. 04. Considering all aspects of his taxes and charges, the homeowner cited in the example would actually save almost $70. 00 by being inside the city, while enjoying improved services. - 2- �A COMPARISON OF TAXES AND CHARGES FOR SEVERAL TYPICAL HOMEOWNERS (Boulder Park - City of Atlanta) In the following examples - all of which are actual residences in a random survey of Boulder Park homes - the ad valorem taxes, water bill and sanitation charges paid in 1965 are compared with what the same items would have been if the homes had been inside the corporate limits of the City of Atlanta. The "net change" shown does not reflect the saving in fire insurance, which would range from a few dollars to a substantial amount, depending on type of dwelling, its value, location, type of insurance, etc. The change also does not include the savings on federal and state income tax deductions.

Other than being able to vote in elections involving city offices and city issues, how would my voice in local matters be increased? A. - You would have more representation in local government, and you would have a greater voice in matters affecting your community because you would be closer to your representatives. The legislative act which provides for the referendum in Boulder Park spells out that the area would join the city as part of the present Seventh Ward. The ward is represented by two members of the Board of Aldermen and one member of the Board of Education, plus two members of the City Executive Committee. All of these are elected. Residents of Boulder Park could vote in the next city election in 1969 for these and other offices. The Boulder Park area presently is governed by, and participates in the election of, a three-man county commission. County commissioners must be responsive to the citizens of all areas of the county, and rightly so, since they represent all the county. The five members of the Fulton County Board of Education, each representing a school district, are appointed by the Grand Jury for five-year terms. The county school superintendent is elected by county-wide vote. By having two aldermen, both residing in their ward, Boulder Park citizens would have a stronger voice in matters of local government and, in effect, would be closer to their elected representatives. In future elections they would vote in the election of Atlanta's mayor, the president of the Board of Aldermen, all members of the Board of Aldermen and Board of Education, and two members of the City Executive Committee from their own ward. Their ward also would be reprE:sented on other boards, such as the Atlanta Public Library Board of Trustees. Additionally, the area's representation would be enhanced by the appointment of its aldermen to various aldermanic committees which would deal with matters pertaining specifically to the Boulder Park area, as well as those affe cting the city as a whole. - 5- �GROWTH AND ZONING Q. - What would happen in the field of zoning and future development of the Boulder Park area? A. - You could expect the Boulder Park area to continue to develop as primarily a low density single-family community. Future apartment and commercial development could be expected to take place along portions of the major thoroughfares with emphasis on strong neighborhood commercial centers at appropriate intervals as opposed to continuous strip commercial development. Property would be reclassified into the City of Atlanta zoning district which most closely resembles the classification under which it is presently zoned in the Fulton County Zoning Ordinance. Zoning designations as established and use permits as approved by Fulton County prior to January 1, 1967 will be honored by the City of Atlanta, and will remain in effect. Public hearings for consideration of proposed zoning changes in the area would be held only four times a year, following the area system as is presently being used in Atlanta. These hearings are held only by the Zoning Committee after receiving recommendations by the staff of the Planning Department and the Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board. The decision of the Zoning Committee receives final action by the full Board of Aldermen and Mayor. The Atlanta Zoning Ordinance contains district classifications which closely relate to those in the Fulton County Ordinance, a lthough similar classifications in Atl anta generally contain more restrictive requirements. In addition to these similar districts the Atlanta Ordinance contains s everal new classifications which permit only a highly selective number of uses with regulations whic h permit and encourage high development standards. These classifications provide for a reasonable use of certain properties while permitting only the best developme nt for the community. A brief description of these new districts follows : 1. The "R-9 Single- Family Dwelling Group District" provides for the construction of townhouse units for individual unit sale under condominium ownership. Units may not be rented under this district. The di s trict provide s for a maximum of twelve dwelling units per acre and a maximum ground coverage of thirty-five percent including buildings, parking and drives. Se ve ral fine townhouse developments are presently under construction in Atlanta. unde r the provisions of this district. - 6- �2. The "A-L Apartment-Limited Dwelling District" provides for low-density, high-standard apartment developments generally compatible with substantial single-family residential areas. The district permits garden apartments (two story units) at a maximum of twelve dwelling units per acre and permits only thirty-five percent ground coverage including buildings, parking and drives. 3. The "C-L Commercial Limited District" permits primarily office and institutional uses and a few selected retail studios and shops. Signs must be attached to the wall of the building and be only twenty square feet in size. This district provides often for a reasonable use of portions of the major thoroughfare while discouraging all the inherent ill effects of continuous strip commercial retail zoning. It has been found to be generally compatible with certain residential uses as well. Work would begin immediately to include the Boulder Park area in the comprehensive planning process now underway in the City of Atlanta. This comprehensive planning process is made up of four elements as follows: 1. Projected future land use needs and their location as a guide to future rezoning evaluations. 2. Designation of Major Thoroughfares and their future effect on the adjacent use of land. 3. Plans for needed community facilities such as parks, schools and libraries along with general locations. 4. The programming of improvements and source of funds necessary to implement these future plans. -7- �FIRE PROTECTION AND FIRE INSURANCE Q. - How would my fire protection be affected? What would this mean in regard to what I pay for my fire insurance ? A. - Your fire insurance rates would be reduced substantially, but, even more important, better fire protection would be afforded to your home or business. Fire protection and fire insurance rates go hand in hand. The better the protection available to you, the less you must pay for fire insurance. Ratings are assigned to particular areas on the basis of fire protection facilities and other factors. Fire insurance rates, in turn, are determined by a formula based on the rating. ' The City of Atlanta has a Class 3 rating, which compares very favorably with other cities of similar size across the nation. Atlanta has kept well within the requirements of its Class 3 rating by building, equipping and maintaining fire stations at key points throughout the city, and by assuring an ample water supply in every area. Fire protection, in short, is excellent and fire insurance rates are as low as the rates in all but a few major cities. ~ The Boulder Park area, on the other hand, has no fire protection available at the present time. As a result, the area has a Class 10 rating. Rates for straight fire insurance under the Class 10 rating are enormously higher than the rates under Class 3 -- as much as five and a half times greater in the case of a frame dwelling. The Fulton County Commission has passed a resolution declaring a new fire district, known as the Fulton Industrial Fire District, which encompasse s the Boulder Park area. The county has petitioned the City of Atlanta to contract the justified fir e protection services for the new district to earn a Class 6 rating. Those in the Fulton Industrial Fire District would pay a special fire tax levy of seven mills to satisfy this contract. It is expected that the contract will be realized during 1966. Should the citizens of the Boulder Park area voice their desire in the May 11 r eferendum to become part of Atlanta, thus s eparating the mselves fr om the Indus tr ial Fir e Dis trict, the y would become part of Atlanta's Class 3 rating and would realize the same fire protection as similar portions of the city. The City of Atlanta already has plans to construct a new fire station in the Adamsville area dur ing 1966. This station, as well a s othe r c ity fire units in the s urrounding area, would respond to fire ca lls in the Boulder Park area, thus m eeting the requirem ent s of the Southeastern Unde rwrite r s. Thus, by voting to be come part of Atla nta, Boulder P ark re sidents could expect thei r fire ins urance r a tes to be reduced at the time they joined the city (Ja nuary 1, 196 7 ) a nd they would not pay the proposed s even- mill fire tax for t he additional prot ect ion. -8 - �POLICE PROTECTION Q. - What changes would occur in police protection? Would the city build a new precinct station in Boulder Park? A. - Police protection would be expanded and improved -- and the basic concept would change from the type of service provided in rural areas to the "full-service" protection afforded in a heavily populated urban area . No additional stations are contemplated in any area of the city, at present. Boulder Park presently receives its police service from the City of Atlanta under a contract arrangement with Fulton County. The only laws enforceable are state l aws , which are designed, for the most part, for rural areas. Anyone arrested as a violator of a state law must be turned over to the Fulton County sheriff for trial in a state court. If the area chooses to join the city, it would be necessary to increase immediately the radio patrol service now provided, add foot patrolmen for duty in business districts, and add motorcycle patrolmen for traffic and patrol duty. In addition, the citizens of the Boulder Park area would receive the benefit of all the services and facilities of the Juvenile Crime Preve ntion Squad and the special squads in the Detective Department, which are not now available to the area. Policemen would enforce city ordinances, as well as state laws, the same as they are enforced in the rest of Atlanta at present. The City of Atlanta presently has approximately 1. 5 policemen for every 1,000 population. The city is striving not only to maintain that ratio but to improve it for the increased protection of all its citizens. As for adding precinct stations, the trend is away from the precinct concept in these days of two-way radio communications and other modern facilities. A radio patrol car, manned by two officers or even just one, is literally a "traveling precinct station." With radio communications, the patrolman c an call for assistance and have other officers at his side within mome nts. The city has no plans for adding precinct stations, and the emphasis will continue to be on mobility and close communications by radio. . - 9- �SANITATION SERVICE Q. - How would my garbage pickup and other sanitation services be affected if Boulder Park joins the city? Would I have to pay more? A. - Your sanitation service would be expanded and improved, and many residents actually would pay less than they pay now. The maximum increase would be a dollar a year, or just two cents a week more. As a resident of Atlanta, you would begin receiving several services which are not now available to you -- rubbish pickup, street cleaning, dead animal removal, sanitary inspection, and "guttering," which means periodic removal of grass and other obstructions from street gutters. It is the city's responsibility to bring all these services to its citizens, as well as providing two garbage collections each week. You are presently receiving only one garbage pickup each week. For these additional services, your sanitation charge would be a maximum of $22. 00 a year, as compared to the $21. 00 a year you are now paying for far less service. The $22. 00 charge is figured on a base charge of $6. 00, plus $4. 00 for each 25 feet of lot frontage or fraction thereof, but not to exceed the $22. 00 a year maximum for residences. Some residents would pay as little as $14. 00 a year. Business establishments throughout the area now pay for garbage collection on the basis of the actual cost of rendering the service. Most businesses would realize a substantial saving by being a part of the city -- and would receive improved service as well. An estimated 800 homes in Boulder Park are getting garbage collection service (one pickup each week) at this time, according to the City of Atlanta Department of Sanitary Engineering. Full service would be extended to these residents immediately after their area became part of the city. The maximum charge for even the most remote residence would be only $22 . 00 per year. A survey of city sanitary services is being conducted at this time by the Public Administration Service. The findings of the survey, which will be available soon, will result in improved services. Any change in rate schedules will apply to both city residents and county residents receiving city services under contract with the county government. -10- �WATER SERVICE Q. - What difference, if any, would there be in the way water is supplied to my home or business? Would my water bill be affected? A. - The only difference would be on your water bill, which would be cut in half. Virtually all the existing homes and businesses in the Boulder Park area already receive their water from the City of Atlanta Water Department under an arrangement between the city and Fulton County. Users outside the city, however, are billed for water at a double rate. The minimum monthly water bill for the City of Atlanta users is $1. 57; for those outside the city, the minimum is $3. 14 per month. Thus, the annual savings for water users inside the city is at least $18.14. In reality, savings run much higher than the minimum, however. Atlanta people are accustomed to having a plentiful supply of good water at low rates, and they use it in quantity. Experience has shown that very few homes, inside or outside the city, use little enough water to be billed for the minimum. An actual survey of some 25 homes in the Boulder Park area, chosen at random, showed that the average water charge paid during 1965 was $78. 32. Only one of these homes was within a dollar of the minimum bill, and three of the larger users paid bills of $131.12, $160. 32 a nd $248. 17. If the se same home s had been inside the city, their water bills for 1965 would have averaged $39. 78. The average savings would have been $38. 53 per home . - -11 - �SQH @L i Q. - What changes would occur in the schools my children attend? What would be done about school bus transporation, since the Atlanta system does not have free transportation? A. - Several major differences would occur in the way of advantages: Kindergartens in the Atlanta system schools; a greater emphasis at the high school level on vocational programs, in addition to the college preparatory and general programs; and the benefit of more specialized programs and more technical specialists. In general, the curricula of the Atlanta system and the Fulton County system are similar, as are the personnel policies, overall operational procedures and financial structures. However, the salary schedules for teachers are somewhat higher in the Atlanta system. In general, Atlanta teachers are paid 8. 9 per cent more than Fulton County teachers. Any teachers who become a part of the Atlanta School System would transfer directly to the city's pension plan without loss of any money or benefits. Atlanta and Fulton school officials agree that pension benefits of both systems are practically the same. A survey by the Atlanta School System showed that there are 380 pupils in the area included in the May 11 referendum ·-- 270 elementary school children and 110 in high school. Of these, 69 already are attending Atlanta schools: 54 elementary pupils in Fain, Oglethorpe, Stanton, Towns and West Haven schools, and 15 high scho'ol students in Harper, Turner and West Fulton schools. The remaining 216 elementary pupils attend East Point Elementary School, and the other 95 high school students attend South Fulton (in East Point), Thomas (in College Park) and Lakeshore (in College Park). A 14-room elementary school is under construction in the Boulder Park area and will be available for occupancy in September, 1966. School officials say it is possible this school could help relieve some of the overcrowding in adjacent schools, such as Fain and Towns. Additionally, two other sites in the area have been secured for future construction of an elementary school and a high school . As for the loss of bus transportation, officials say this problem would be dealt with right away. The Fulton County system provides free bus transportation for pupils who live further than 1-1/2 miles from school, and this expense is covered by local and state funds . On the other hand, the Atlanta Transit System provides bus transportation for Atlanta system pupils on routes determined by pupil need and with pupils paying as they ride. Robert Sommerville, president of Atlanta Transit System, has given assurance that school bus routes would be provided for pupils in a r eas joining the city. -12- �SEWERS Q. - Would there be any major changes in the system of sewer service? Would I be assessed any sewer charges before sewer service is extended to my home ? A. - If your home is already on a sewer line, or if you have a working septic tank, you probably would see no immediate changes that would affect you. Certainly, there would be no sewer assessment charged until sewer service is provided. The city already has made a preliminary study of the probable needs of the area, and it would undertake to make the necessary improvements and additions as soon as possible. However, your present situation would largely govern the effect on you and your home. For example, if your home already is served by a sewer line, you would see nothing different. You would continue receiving the service with no special charges or other changes, except where such might be applied city-wide. If your home is served by a working septic tank in good condition, then you would not be affected until a sewer line is extended to your street. Even when this occurred, you could be granted as long as six years to pay the assessment which is always made for this service. If sewer service were brought to your neighborhood for the first time -- this is always by petition of the residents -- then your property would be assessed on a front-footage basis for the sewer line in front of your property. This assessment is set by law at $3. 50 per front foot. The connection to your home from the sewer line, if the line were laid on a street that is already paved, would be between $80 and $120. And again, if you already have a satisfactory septic tank, you could be allowed up to six years to pay the assessment. This policy exists in the case of already existing residences and does not apply to vacant property, however . - 13- �STREET LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Q. - Would the city provide street lights in my neighborhood right away? What would be done about traffic signals? A. - As a general policy, the City of Atlanta provides street lights in areas as requested by the residents, and it has kept up with demands since the 1952 Plan of Improvement. No wholesale program of street light installation is anticipated in any part of the city, because of budget limitations. In other words, a neighborhood that has not expressed a positive desire for this service need not fear that street lights would be forced on them. However, the city, through its Traffic Engineering Department, has been attentive to the requests of those who do want lights and is currently right on schedule in meeting these demands. Additionally, a program of upgrading street lights on major thoroughfares is in progress to bring these facilities up to the latest recommended standards. A preliminary survey in the Boulder Park area has shown that some 18 street lights are currently in use, all on local streets. The estimated needs for arterial streets include 80 lights, which, obviously, could not be installed all at once. The estimated needs for local streets are for some 221 additional lights, which would be undertaken by the city on the basis of requests by the residents. - In general, the city installs traffic signals at intersections where traffic conditions satisfy the "warrants" set out by uniform national standards, as adopted and prescribed by the Georgia Highway Department. However, Atlanta citizens on occasion have shown a desire for and have provided the necessary funds to have signals installed at some intersections where the "warrants" are not fully met. This can be accomplished at intersections where signals are a help to traffic movement and a convenience to the citizens. No traffic signals are now in service in the Boulder Park area, but one new signal may be needed in the next two to three years, according to the city survey. �STREETS AND SIDEWALKS Q. - What could Boulder Park expect in the way of street and sidewalk improvements, now and in the future? How can we get sidewalks or streets paved, and how much would it cost? A. - A survey by the City of Atlanta Department of Construction found two streets in the Boulder Park area in "below average" condition -- Fairburn Road and part of Boulder Park Drive. Both of these will require resurfacing in the very near future, the Construction Department said. The city has pledged to assign a high priority to these projects. The other streets in the area are in "good" or "average" condition and will not require immediate work. Paving of streets and sidewalks in the City of Atlanta, with two exceptions, requires a petition signed by more than 50 per cent of the property owners involved. Property owners are assessed for the cost of the paving on a front-footage basis. The average assessment for sidewalks in residential areas (six-foot sidewalks) is about $2. 60 per front foot, and property owners are allowed up to four years to pay. Charges for street paving vary with the size of the project, but the assessment generally is between $6. 50 and $7. 50 per front foot for paving and curbing. Property owners are allowed up to 10 years to pay the assessments for street paving and up to four years to pay for curbing. The two exceptions to the petition method are for sidewalks which are deemed necessary for reasons of safety, and for sidewalks in front of schools. If a sidewalk is required for public safety, the city may put one in without being petitioned and then assess property owners on a front-footage basis. Sidewalks in front of schools are built at city expense, with no petition required . In line with its policy on school sidewalks, the City of Atlanta would move as quickly as possible to install sidewalks in front of the new elementary school now under construction in the Boulder Park area. - 15- �' 11-< 11~ I / 1~ cfe h . 0 /*? -~ I /t; /;5 . /'e £ k / /;l5 ~ /e)< Gfu/e..,/4/ � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

This booklet contains questions and answers dealing with the main issues involved in the referendum. The information was compiled by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, with the full cooperation of the City of Atlanta.

How much more would it cost me to receive the improved services inside the city ? The ad valorem taxes on your home and personal property would be higher inside the city, but the increase in taxes would be largely off- set by reductions in other charges. In almost every case, the net result would be only a moderate increase in the total. In some cases, the homeowner would pay less inside the city. As an example, consider the effect on one of the homes taken from a random survey of Boulder Park residences. The example is a single- family frame dwelling. Its value, for tax purposes, is $14,920. The 1965 Fulton County real estate tax bill on this property was $107. 35,. and the personal property tax was $32.33 -- a total tax of $139.68. If the home had been inside the city, the county and city real estate tax would have been $191.63 and the personal property tax would have been $33.25 for a total tax of $224.88. The increase inside the city would have been $85. 20. @ This increase in ad valorem taxes would have been largely offset by lower charges in two areas: Water and fire insurance. The actual water bill for this residence last year was $80.02, which is very close to the average bill shown in a survey of some 25 homes in the Boulder Park area. Inside the city, the water bill would have been $40.30, a decrease of $39.72, It is more difficult to arrive at the exact saving possible in lower insurance rates for the homeowner, because of the several different types of insurance he might choose. But a good estimate can be obtained by comparing the rates for "straight fire insurance" on his dwelling. Since the value of his lot makes up part of the total value of his property, assume that his dwelling is valued at $12, 000 of the $14, 920 total. Straight fire insurance on this amount would be _$120.60 in Boulder Park, which has a Class 10 rating. Inside Atlanta, which has a Class 3 rating, the same fire insurance would cost $25. 20, a difference of $95.40. The sanitary service charge for this home is $21.00 at present. Ih the city the charge would be $22.00 for greatly improved service. Thus, in the example, an ad valorem tax increase of $85.20 and an increase of $1.00 in sanitary service charge would be offset by savings of $39.72 (water) and $95.40 (fire insurance). The net difference would be a saving of $48. 92 if the home were inside the city. == Another "intangible" saving will work to the benefit of homeowners when they file federal and state income taxes. Both federal and state income tax procedures allow local tax payments to be claimed as a "deduction". Payments for such items as water and insurance are not "deductible.'' This means that the homeowner inside the city — whose property taxes are higher and other charges lower -- can deduct a greater portion of his total payments for income tax purposes. The net effect on his income tax bill would vary, depending on the income bracket and other factors. But a conservative estimate is that the typical homeowner could reduce his combined federal and state income taxes by about 20 per cent of the additional amount deductible for ad valorem taxes. In other words, the taxpayer in the example shown above could deduct $85.20 more if he were inside the city, and the estimated saving on his income taxes would be $17.04. Considering all aspects of his taxes and charges, the homeowner cited in the example would actually save almost $70.00 by being inside the city, while enjoying improved services. In the following examples - all of which are actual residences in a random survey of Boulder Park homes - the ad valorem taxes, water bill and sanitation charges paid in 1965 are compared with what the same items would A COMPARISON OF TAXES AND CHARGES FOR SEVERAL TYPICAL HOMEOWNERS (Boulder Park - City of Atlanta) have been if the homes had been inside the corporate limits of the City of Atlanta. The "net change’ shown does not reflect the saving in fire insurance, which would range from a few dollars to a substantial amount, depending on type of dwelling, its value, location, type of insurance, etc. federal and state income tax deductions. Example #1 Example #2 Example #3 Example #4 Example #5 See page 1 and 2.

Other than being able to vote in elections involving city offices and city issues, how would my voice in local matters be increased ? You would have more representation in local government, and you would have a greater voice in matters affecting your community because you would be closer to your representatives. The legislative act which provides for the referendum in Boulder Park spells out that the area would join the city as part of the present Seventh Ward. The ward is represented by two members of the Board of Aldermen and one member of the Board of Education, plus two members of the City Executive Committee. All of these are elected. Residents of Boulder Park could vote in the next city election in 1969 for these and other offices. The Boulder Park area presently is governed by, and participates in the election of, a three-man county commission. County commissioners must be responsive to the citizens of all areas of the county, and rightly so, since they represent all the county. The five members of the Fulton County Board of Education, each representing a school district, are appointed by the Grand Jury for five-year terms. The county school superintendent is elected by county-wide vote. By having two aldermen, both residing in their ward, Boulder Park citizens would have a stronger voice in matters of local government and, in effect, would be closer to their elected representatives. In future elections they would vote in the election of Atlanta's mayor, the president of the Board of Aldermen, all members of the Board of Aldermen and Board of Education, and two members of the City Executive Committee from their own ward. Their ward also would be represented on other boards, such as the Atlanta Public Library Board of Trustees. Additionally, the area's representation would be enhanced by the appointment of its aldermen to various aldermanic committees which would deal with matters pertaining specifically to the Boulder Park area, as well as those affecting the city as a whole. Q. A. GROWTH AND ZONING What would happen in the field of zoning and future development of the Boulder Park area? You could expect the Boulder Park area to continue to develop as primarily a low density single-family community. Future apartment and commercial development could be expected to take place along portions of the major thoroughfares with emphasis on strong neighborhood commercial centers at appropriate intervals as opposed to continuous strip commercial development. Property would be reclassified into the City of Atlanta zoning district which most closely resembles the classification under which it is pre= sently zoned in the Fulton County Zoning Ordinance. Zoning designations as established and use permits as approved by Fulton County prior to January 1, 1967 will be honored by the City of Atlanta, and will remain in effect. Public hearings for consideration of proposed zoning changes in the area would be held only four times a year, following the area system as is presently being used in Atlanta. These hearings are held only by the Zoning Committee after receiving recommendations by the staff of the Planning Department and the Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Planning Board. The decision of the Zoning Committee receives final action by the full Board of Aldermen and Mayor. The Atlanta Zoning Ordinance contains district classifications which closely relate to those in the Fulton County Ordinance, although similar classifications in Atlanta generally contain more restrictive require- ments. In addition to these similar districts the Atlanta Ordinance contains several new classifications which permit only a highly se- lective number of uses with regulations which permit and encourage high development standards, These classifications provide for a reasonable use of certain properties while permitting only the best development for the community. A brief description of these new districts follows: 1. The "R-9 Single-Family Dwelling Group District" provides for the construction of townhouse units for individual unit sale under condominium ownership. Units may not be rented under this district. The district provides for a maximum of twelve dwelling units per acre and a maximum ground coverage of thirty-five percent including buildings, parking and drives. Several fine townhouse developments are presently under construction in Atlanta under the provisions of this district. -(§- 2. The "A-L Apartment-Limited Dwelling District" provides for low-density, high-standard apartment developments generally compatible with substantial single-family residential areas. The district permits garden apartments (two story units) ata maximum of twelve dwelling units per acre and permits only thirty-five percent ground coverage including buildings, parking and drives. 3. The 'C-L Commercial Limited District" permits primarily office and institutional uses and a few selected retail studios and shops. Signs must be attached to the wall of the building and be only twenty square feet in size. This district provides often for a reasonable use of portions of the major thorough- fare while discouraging all the inherent ill effects of continuous strip commercial retail zoning. It has been found to be generally compatible with certain residential uses as well. Work would begin immediately to include the Boulder Park area in the comprehensive planning process now underway in the City of Atlanta. This comprehensive planning process is made up of four elements as follows: 1. Projected future land use needs and their location as a guide to future rezoning evaluations. 2, Designation of Major Thoroughfares and their future effect on the adjacent use of land. 3. Plans for needed community facilities such as parks, schools and libraries along with general locations. 4, The programming of improvements and source of funds necessary to implement these future plans. FIRE PROTECTION AND FIRE INSURANCE Q. - How would my fire protection be affected? What would this mean in regard A. to what I pay for my fire insurance ? Your fire insurance rates would be reduced substantially, but, even more important, better fire protection would be afforded to your home or business. Fire protection and fire insurance rates go hand in hand. The better the protection available to you, the less you must pay for fire insurance. Ratings are assigned to particular areas on the basis of fire protection facilities and other factors. Fire insurance rates, in turn, are deter- mined by a formula based on the rating. The City of Atlanta has a Class 3 rating, which compares very favorably with other cities of similar size across the nation. Atlanta has kept well within the requirements of its Class 3 rating by building, equipping and maintaining fire stations at key points throughout the city, and by assuring an ample water supply in every area. Fire protection, in short, is excellent and fire insurance rates are as low as the rates in all but a few major cities, The Boulder Park area, on the other hand, has no fire protection available at the present time. Asa result, the area has a Class 10 rating. Rates for straight fire insurance under the Class 10 rating are enormously higher than the rates under Class 3 -- as much as five and a half times greater in the case of a frame dwelling, The Fulton County Commission has passed a resolution declaring a new fire district, known as the Fulton Industrial Fire District, which en- compasses the Boulder Park area. The county has petitioned the City of Atlanta to contract the justified fire protection services for the new district to earn a Class 6 rating, Those in the Fulton Industrial Fire District would pay a special fire tax levy of seven mills to satisfy this contract. It is expected that the contract will be realized during 1966. Should the citizens of the Boulder Park area voice their desire in the May 11 referendum to become part of Atlanta, thus separating them- selves from the Industrial Fire District, they would become part of Atlanta's Class 3 rating and would realize the same fire protection as similar portions of the city. The City of Atlanta already has plans to construct a new fire station in the Adamsville area during 1966. This station, as well as other city fire units in the surrounding area, would respond to fire calls in the Boulder Park area, thus meeting the requirements of the Southeastern Underwriters. Thus, by voting to become part of Atlanta, Boulder Park residents could expect their fire insurance rates to be reduced at the time they joined the city (January 1, 1967) and they would not pay the proposed seven-mill fire tax for the additional protection. POLICE PROTECTION Q. - What changes would occur in police protection? Would the city builda A. new precinct station in Boulder Park? Police protection would be expanded and improved -- and the basic concept would change from the type of service provided in rural areas to the "full-service" protection afforded in a heavily populated urban area. No additional stations are contemplated in any area of the city, at present. Boulder Park presently receives its police service from the City of Atlanta under a contract arrangement with Fulton County. The only laws enforceable are state laws, which are designed, for the most part, for rural areas. Anyone arrested as a violator of a state law must be turned over to the Fulton County sheriff for trial in a state court. If the area chooses to join the city, it would be necessary to increase immediately the radio patrol service now provided, add foot patrolmen for duty in business districts, and add motorcycle patrolmen for traffic and patrol duty. In addition, the citizens of the Boulder Park area would receive the benefit of all the services and facilities of the Juvenile Crime Prevention Squad and the special squads in the Detective Department, which are not now available to the area. Policemen would enforce city ordinances, as well as state laws, the same as they are enforced in the rest of Atlanta at present. The City of Atlanta presently has approximately 1.5 policemen for every 1,000 population, The city is striving not only to maintain that ratio but to improve it for the increased protection of all its citizens. As for adding precinct stations, the trend is away from the precinct concept in these days of two-way radio communications and other modern facilities. A radio patrol car, manned by two officers or even just one, is literally a "traveling precinct station."' With radio communications, the patrolman can call for assistance and have other officers at his side within moments. The city has no plans for adding precinct stations, and the emphasis will continue to be on mobility and close communications by radio. SANITATION SERVICE Q. - How would my garbage pickup and other sanitation services be affected A. if Boulder Park joins the city? Would I have to pay more? Your sanitation service would be expanded and improved, and many residents actually would pay less than they pay now. The maximum increase would be a dollar a year, or just two cents a week more. As a resident of Atlanta, you would begin receiving several services which are not now available to you -- rubbish pickup, street cleaning, dead animal removal, sanitary inspection, and "guttering, '"' which means periodic removal of grass and other obstructions from street gutters. It is the city's responsibility to bring all these services to its citizens, as well as providing two garbage collections each week. You are presently receiving only one garbage pickup each week. For these additional services, your sanitation charge would be a maximum of $22.00 a year, as compared to the $21.00 a year you are now paying for far less service. The $22.00 charge is figured on a base charge of $6.00, plus $4.00 for each 25 feet of lot frontage or fraction thereof, but not to exceed the $22.00 a year maximum for residences. Some residents would pay as little as $14.00 a year. Business establishments throughout the area now pay for garbage collection on the basis of the actual cost of rendering the service. Most businesses would realize a substantial saving by being a part of the city -- and would receive improved service as well. An estimated 800 homes in Boulder Park are getting garbage collection service (one pickup each week) at this time, according to the City of Atlanta Department of Sanitary Engineering. Full service would be extended to these residents immediately after their area became part of the city. The maximum charge for even the most remote residence would be only $22,00 per year. A survey of city sanitary services is being conducted at this time by the Public Administration Service. The findings of the survey, which will be available soon, will result in improved services. Any change in rate schedules will apply to both city residents and county residents receiving city services under contract with the county government. -10- Q. - A, - WATER SERVICE What difference, if any, would there be in the way water is supplied to my home or business? Would my water bill be affected? The only difference would be on your water bill, which would be cut in half. Virtually all the existing homes and businesses in the Boulder Park area already receive their water from the City of Atlanta Water Department under an arrangement between the city and Fulton County. Users outside the city, however, are billed for water at a double rate. The minimum monthly water bill for the City of Atlanta users is $1.57; for those outside the city, the minimum is $3.14 per month. Thus, the annual savings for water users inside the city is at least $18.14, In reality, savings run much higher than the minimum, however. Atlanta people are accustomed to having a plentiful supply of good water at low rates, and they use it in quantity. Experience has shown that very few homes, inside or outside the city, use little enough water to be billed for the minimum. An actual survey of some 25 homes in the Boulder Park area, chosen at random, showed that the average water charge paid during 1965 was $78.32. Only one of these homes was within a dollar of the minimum bill, and three of the larger users paid bills of $131.12, $160.32 and $248.17. If these same homes had been inside the city, their water bills for 1965 would have averaged $39.78. The average savings would have been $38.53 per home. >a§ Tic Q. - SCHOOLS What changes would occur in the schools my children attend? What would be done about school bus transporation, since the Atlanta system does not have free transportation ? Several major differences would occur in the way of advantages: Kinder- gartens in the Atlanta system schools; a greater emphasis at the high school level on vocational programs, in addition to the college preparatory and general programs; and the benefit of more specialized programs and more technical specialists. In general, the curricula of the Atlanta system and the Fulton County system are similar, as are the personnel policies, overall operational procedures and financial structures. However, the salary schedules for teachers are somewhat higher in the Atlanta system. In general, Atlanta teachers are paid 8.9 per cent more than Fulton County teachers. Any teachers who become a part of the Atlanta School System would transfer directly to the city's pension plan without loss of any money or benefits. Atlanta and Fulton school officials agree that pension benefits of both systems are practically the same. A survey by the Atlanta School System showed that there are 380 pupils in the area included in the May 11 referendum -- 270 elementary school children and 110 in high school, Of these, 69 already are attending Atlanta schools: 54 elementary pupils in Fain, Oglethorpe, Stanton, Towns and West Haven schools, and 15 high school students in Harper, Turner and West Fulton schools. The remaining 216 elementary pupils attend East Point Elementary School, and the other 95 high school students attend South Fulton (in East Point), Thomas (in College Park) and Lakeshore (in College Park). A 14-room elementary school is under construction in the Boulder Park area and will be available for occupancy in September, 1966. School officials say it is possible this school could help relieve some of the overcrowding in adjacent schools, such as Fain and Towns, Additionally, two other sites in the area have been secured for future construction of an elementary school and a high school. As for the loss of bus transportation, officials say this problem would be dealt with right away. The Fulton County system provides free bus trans- portation for pupils who live further than 1-1/2 miles from school, and this expense is covered by local and state funds. On the other hand, the Atlanta Transit System provides bus transportation for Atlanta system pupils on routes determined by pupil need and with pupils paying as they ride. Robert Sommerville, president of Atlanta Transit System, has given assurance that school bus routes would be provided for pupils in areas joining the city. =1y= Q. SEWERS - Would there be any major changes in the system of sewer service? Would I be assessed any sewer charges before sewer service is extended to my home? If your home is already on a sewer line, or if you have a working septic tank, you probably would see no immediate changes that would affect you. Certainly, there would be no sewer assessment charged until sewer service is provided. The city already has made a preliminary study of the probable needs of the area, and it would undertake to make the necessary improve- ments and additions as soon as possible. However, your present situation would largely govern the effect on you and your home, For example, if your home already is served by a sewer line, you would see nothing different. You would continue receiving the service with no special charges or other changes, except where such might be applied city-wide. If your home is served by a working septic tank in good condition, then you would not be affected until a sewer line is extended to your street. Even when this occurred, you could be granted as long as six years to pay the assessment which is always made for this service. If sewer service were brought to your neighborhood for the first time -- this is always by petition of the residents -- then your property would be assessed on a front-footage basis for the sewer line in front of your property. This assessment is set by law at $3.50 per front foot. The connection to your home from the sewer line, if the line were laid on a street that is already paved, would be between $80 and $120, And again, if you already have a satis- factory septic tank, you could be allowed up to six years to pay the assessment. This policy exists in the case of already existing residences and does not apply to vacant property, however. -13- STREET LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Q. - Would the city provide street lights in my neighborhood right away ? What would be done about traffic signals ? A. - Asa general policy, the City of Atlanta provides street lights in areas as requested by the residents, and it has kept up with demands since the 1952 Plan of Improvement. No wholesale program of street light installation is anticipated in any part of the city, because of budget limitations. In other words, a neighborhood that has not expressed a positive desire for this service need not fear that street lights would be forced on them. However, the city, through its Traffic Engineering Department, has been at- tentive to the requests of those who do want lights and is currently right on schedule in meeting these demands. Additionally, a program of upgrading street lights on major thoroughfares is in progress to bring these facilities up to the latest recommended standards. A preliminary survey in the Boulder Park area has shown that some 18 street lights are currently in use, all on local streets. The estimated needs for arterial streets include 80 lights, which, obviously, could not be installed all at once. The estimated needs for local streets are for some 221 additional lights, which would be undertaken by the city on the basis of requests by the residents. In general, the city installs traffic signals at intersections where traffic conditions satisfy the "warrants" set out by uniform national standards, as adopted and prescribed by the Georgia Highway Department. However, Atlanta citizens on occasion have shown a desire for and have provided the necessary funds to have signals installed at some intersections where the "warrants" are not fully met. This can be accomplished at intersections where signals are a help to traffic movement and a con- venience to the citizens. No traffic signals are now in service in the Boulder Park area, but one new signal may be needed in the next two to three years, according to the city survey. STREETS AND SIDEWALKS Q. - What could Boulder Park expect in the way of street and sidewalk improvements, now and in the future? How can we get sidewalks or streets paved, and how much would it cost? A. - A survey by the City of Atlanta Department of Construction found two streets in the Boulder Park area in "below average" condition -- Fairburn Road and part of Boulder Park Drive. Both of these will require resurfacing in the very near future, the Construction Department said. The city has pledged to assign a high priority to these projects. The other streets in the area are in "good" or "average" condition and will not require immediate work. Paving of streets and sidewalks in the City of Atlanta, with two exceptions, requires a petition signed by more than 50 per cent of the property owners involved. Property owners are assessed for the cost of the paving on a front-footage basis. The average assessment for sidewalks in residential areas (six-foot sidewalks) is about $2.60 per front foot, and property owners are allowed up to four years to pay. Charges for street paving vary with the size of the project, but the assessment generally is between $6.50 and $7.50 per front foot for paving and curbing. Property owners are allowed up to 10 years to pay the assessments for street paving and up to four years to pay for curbing. The two exceptions to the petition method are for sidewalks which are deemed necessary for reasons of safety, and for sidewalks in front of schools. If a sidewalk is required for public safety, the city may put one in without being petitioned and then assess property owners on a front-footage basis. Sidewalks in front of schools are built at city expense, with no petition required. In line with its policy on school sidewalks, the City of Atlanta would move as quickly as possible to install sidewalks in front of the new elementary school now under construction in the Boulder Park area. ={5-  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
