Mr. Johnny C. Johnson
Director

City Demonstration Agency
673 Capitol Avenue
Atlanta, Georgia 40315

Dear Mr. Johnson:

As you know, the Regional Interagency Coordinating Committee has
completed its review of the Atlanta Comprehensive City Demonstration
Program. During our meeting with you and your staff on December 18
we conveyed a number of recommendations concerning alterations and
improvements which should be made in various parts of your program
including, inter alia, your proposed administrative budget for 1969.

As previously indicated, the committee believes that the following
changes should be considered in the staffing pattern set forth in
your administrative budget:

1. Add one planner and one program manager to your Economic
Development Division to assist the Division Director in
carrying out the numerous tasks arising out of continued
planning as well as implementation of the first year
program. :

2. Add at least two fiscal management personnel, preferably
in the Administrative Division to assist in monitoring
the numerous requisitions from local operating arencies
and in carrying out the numerous other tasks which will
need to be performed in order to comply with the proce-
dures spelled out in CDA Letter #8.

3. Add resident trainees to the various divisions of the CDA
staff, where appropriate, for the purpose of providing
sufficient on-the-job and technical or academic training
to enable each trainee to attain competence in his or
her field of interest.

In addition to the above matters which pertain to your administrative
budget, it will be necessary for the CDA to submit to this office soon

after approval of the Comprehensive Program a work program which
identifies the planning activities to be undertaken in 1969, and
which specifies the activity, the responsible entity, the source
and amount of funds, and the staff and time period required to
carry out the activity.

I would encourage you to submit a revised administrative budget
reflecting the foregoing recommendations as soon as possible to
permit review by this office prior to final action by HUD on your
application for supplemental grant funds.

Sincerely yours,
e. 7 ; ia
