DEPUTY COMPTROLLER

Mr. Henry Bowden
City Attorney
City of Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mr. Bowden:

The Atlanta Children and Youth Service Council was established by
the Board of Aldermen by an Ordinance adopted on February 9, 1966.
It was initially called the Atlanta Youth Council. By an Ordinance
adopted on June 5, 1967, certain changes were made including the
change of the name.

A question has arisen as to the exact powers of the organization

as now created. The case in point is an application for federal

funds to undertake a project. The project will require a grant
agreement with the federal government. Our question is whether or
not the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council, as now organized,
has the power to contract in this fashion. It should be emphasized
that they propose to enter into the contract in their own name, not
as the City of Atlanta.

I will very much appreciate your opinion on this as soon as it is

convenient for you. We have a contract pending which will be held
in abeyance until we receive your advice on this point.

Very truly yours,

WE. a Sta, PAD awn
Charles L. Davis
Comptroller
