During the morning of September 22, 1970, I received a visit from

that the nature of their concern was to review our Vista problem"
and "help in solving any problems which night existit.

Project. (7) That we had remidied this situation by going through
the Grent process with Vista Regional and typing up our proposal
and intragrating Indian Vistas into the educational program. (8)
That the only problem this CAP had with the Vista proposal was that
it was not practical to write one project for 25 Vistas. (9) That
we were able to submit three sub-project ideas in education, legal
aid, and economic development. (10) That education and legal aid
were approved by Vista. (11) That we were negociating on a sub--
project component dealing with economic development. (12) That
I would recommend that our thinking about incorporating Vistas
into the staffing pattern of CAP be continued.
Attention then focused on the Indian Vista Project and "problems"
which may have been outside guidelines. In my response, I made
the following points: (1) That it was in fact, from the stand
point of the overall community, difficult to separate in the
minds of the public at large the Vista Indian component from the
Pit River movement. (2) That in fact things could be separated
as we made every effort to give direction and guidance so that
activities were within the guidelines. (3) That the major focus
of activities were around educational needs, including tutorial
programs, dealing with the ESEA Title I Project where the school
district made commitments for involving Indian persons and had not,
and establishing an Indian counseling program in the eastern end
of the county. (3) That when we got wind that the movement was
occurring, we took the following actions: (a) Removed all GSA and
CAP cars, (o) Wrote Vista Legal Council so that we could clarify
some positions, more specifically around guidelines, (c) Communicated
this information both in writing and verbally to the Vistas so that
they could make personal decisions about whether or not they needed
to resign if their activities were going to be outside OEO guidelines.
Mr. Sal Espana then brought up the matter of whether or not I thought
our Board of Directors should "review" the Vista Indian Project. I
indicated that I did not think it was necessary as the Board had been
informed, particularly the Executive Committee, about the Vista Indian
Project matters.
At one point he kept pressing the issue and 1 asked him outright if
he thought the CAP Board should again review it, and Mrs. Terry McGinnis
indicated that she thought that it would be appropriate, Mr. Espana
took a middle of the road position without coming up with a recommendation.
However, he indicated that if in their day in Shasta County, they had
evidence that appropriate actions were not taken, it would propably
be appropriate for the Board to consider the matter.
- 3 -
Both Mr. Espana and Mrs. McGinnis indicated that there were "letters
directed towards the Governor's office" about the concern of the project
and the Pit River Movement. I asked if the letters came from any particular
geographical portion of the community, namely the eastern end of the county,
or if it was wide spread, they indicated that it was wide spread they
thought.
A few words about my approach to the matter. I attempted to remain cool,
co-operative, informative to the point of not adding any additional in-
formation than they already had on the basis that I would react to what
they brought to me at the time that that information was made available.
My plan now is to push both Mr. Espana and Mrs. McGinnis for actual facts,
figures, and written documentation to any allegations that they make before
I take action with the Board in '3 formal manner.
Such is the case, keep the peace, and we will work the matter out.
Sincerely yours,
Win

Dear Mr. Uhler:
It has been approximately five months since the last meeting of the
State Economic Opportunity Advisory Committee. I believe it is ap-
propriate that we call a meeting of this committee sometime in
February.
I believe the Advisory Committee should hear progress reports on the
important york your staff is accomplishing in its oversight of the
War on Poverty in California.
Another area of interest to us: to what extent are the C.A.P. Agencies
using the technical assistance which we (the committee) requested. You
gave notice of the availability of this assistance in your memorandum
of October 27, 1970. I am sure there are other areas or items you would
like to add to the agenda for this meeting.
Since Thursday seems to be a good day for the committee members, I. sug-
gest we set the date of February 11, 18 or 25.
If you will select a date convenient for your busy schedule and list
items for the agenda, I will send notices to the members of the committee.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Custer:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding State OEO Advisory
Committee meetings.
You may recall that subsequent to the refunding of this office
in late August, 1970, I mentioned to you that there was no
provision in the grant for an advisory committee. For this
reason we indicated to you that there would be no further need
for the Advisory Committee to convene.
We have been studying the possibility of developing a State-
wide commission or board that can not only assist our office
in a continuing evaluation of poverty problems within the
State but is in the position to mobilize independent and pri-
vate sector resources to assist us in the accomplishment of
our mission. We will inform you of the details, when finalized.
Thank you for your assistance to this office in the past.
Please convey our thanks to the other members of the former
Advisory Committee for their past efforts.
Sincerely yours

Subject: Fund Raising Ideas
for Youth Programs
Lewis K. Unler, Director
Office of Economic Opportunity
During the coming months, our office will be sending you ideas
for fund raising, alternate funding sources, and program develop-
ment. Along with such ideas would be a format to follow for
employing these ideas and thus making them a reality in your
community. I would appreciate your personal reaction to the
material we send you as well as any other ideas you have that
can be shared with CAAs and CAPs throughout the State. Please
discuss these ideas and the accompanying material at your
next CAA Board Meeting and CAP Staff Meeting to maximize program
communication.
Attached to this memorandum, you will find a specific idea
developed by Contra Costa County in raising funds for summer
youth work programs to provide transportation for low-income
youth to employment. Your response to implementation of this
idea and evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses would be
appreciated by this office.

SKATING FAIR
FUND RAISING PROJECT FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
IDEA: Skating Pair
WHO TO CONTACT: Local ice or roller skating rinks in your
community
WHEN TO PLAN PROGRAM: Before spring vacation, summer vacation,
or Christmas recess
HOW TO ORGANIZE THIS IDEA:
1. Contact local skating rinks in your area to see if
they would be interested in sponsoring a benefit fund
raising fair. The proceeds from this fair would go to
your youth program to provide transportation or defray
other costs raised by the funds.
The participating rink (ice or roller) may use the
proceeds given you from this fund raising idea as a
tax write-off while your local CAP project may use
the funds raised as additional local SHARE.
2. If rinks in your area are interested in this approach,
then next contact the local superintendent of schools.
Present the idea of a fund raising program for low-
income youth through the distribution of fliers to
all children in the entire school system.
3. If the idea is approved by both the rink and the
county school superintendent, then have fliers printed
up similar to the one attached stating the type of
fund raising project, date of the fair, donation cost,
and sponsor. Separate the fliers into packets of
30-35 each and deliver to schools with sufficient
packets to be distributed to every classroom in each
school in the participating district or area. Thus,
each school should have sufficient fliers for every
student in the district. Pre-packaging of this
material by your CAP will expedite distribution and
assure maximum disbursement of the fliers.
- 2 -
EGESTIONS:
1. Plan such a fund raising fair for two consecutive
Friday afternoons between the hours of 3:00 and
8:00 p.m. These are low attendance times for most
skating rinks and are good times [or parents to drop
off their children while they shop.
2. Plan the two skating fair days to be held at least
three weeks before each of the holiday periods.
Try to get the rink to turn over 100 percent of the
proceeds in return for the distribution of fliers
that will advertise their rink.
CAUTION: Be sure the only advertising on the flier
is a masthead of the rink but not a direct advertisement.
3. Be sure to use radio, television and newspaper coverage
about the fair at least two weeks prior to when the
skating day takes place.
4. Upon completion of the fund raising fair, be sure to
have a photograph in the local newspaper with the rink
owner, superintendent of schools, and a CAA representa-
tive receiving the proceeds from this fund raising
event.
Please send us a copy of any publicity concerning this idea.
A sample flier and letter to school principals are attached for
your information and use.
If you have any questions about this idea or desire more information,
please contact our office.

Contact:
Steve Graham
Problems:
State is working county against city to oppose
the Napa program. Napa given veto and no
constructive suggestions made on program
improvement.
County has opposition to OEO housing programs.
County needs alternate funding sources and food
resources for poor of the area.
City supports program; county fears the program;
county is seeking to set up competing program
that OEO began in the area: health, housing,
family assistance, etc.
Discussion: 1. Weak projects
2. More direct cooperation
3. Meeting between OEO, city, county people
4. Evaluations based on performance both
internal (administrative) and external
(programmatic).
Needs:
1. Housing cooperation, food stamp and surplus foods
in combination, alternate funding resources for
rural CAP's.
2. Lift veto by Governor even though Federal
refunded the program.
3. Alternate funding specialist for new funding
resources.
4. Joint Regional and State OEO evaluation of
program and its community relationship.
I received your letter dated January 19, 1971 and appreciate
the correspondence and ideas. However, the last two sentence:
of the first paragraph are both in error and out of context.
My point was that in my functioning with the State office
and the CAP's, I would leave politics out and concentrate
on developing innovative and competent programs. OEO by
its very nature is a political program, however, its internal
administration should be based on a functioning management
process rather than purely political decisions.

ems:
CAP asserted its organization and functioning
problems are minimal. Desire more alternate
funding sources and assistance from State in
locating such sources. SEOO fails to contact
CAP before coming into area, operates quietly
behind the scenes then appears before Board of
Supervisors to provide beacy to create CAP
under Board of Supervisor in accord with Green
Amendments -- prefers to have this out in the
open.
assion:
1.
Elimination of weak projects, CAP not
disagreeing with State position, if State
sincere.
2.
Development of a San Joaquin Valley Inter-CAP
Assistance Unit so that each CAP with like
problems would be able to assist one another
to further serve the interests of the poor,
area-wide.
3. No real problem with State office because they
have been left alone without outside inter-
ference.
4. Semi-annual evaluations would be cooperated
with if instituted.
5. ATAC has been helpful to them, training
conference okay.
Needs:
1. Alternate funding.
2. More general contact.
3. Mobiliziation of State resources, education,
HRD, Department of Agriculture, etc. on behalf
of CAP.
Recommendations:
1.
Provide a staff person with responsibility for
locating alternate funding sources, knowing
application requir ments, and assist CAP in
securing such funding.
2. Develop a San Joaquin area conference for or
of CAP administrators to assist in solving their
internal and external regional problems.

Problems:
CAP seeks alternate funding sources, duplication
of grant guidelines and funding deadline for State
and Federal OEO, bi-annual funding so that more
time can be devoted to program operations rather
than grant preparation, eliminate the "bchind-
the-back" surveilence of CAP's by State OEO, have
representatives inform CAP when in the area.
Discussion:
1. Elimination of weak projects within CAP's.
2. Mobilization of State resources.
3. More personal contact within CAP's in Valley.
4. More mobilization of experts within colleges in
the areas.
Needs:
1. Alternate funding sources
2. Two-year funding cycle
3. State OEO to act as advocate for State
department needs: information on programs,
forms for applications, technical assistance
on meeting assistance requirements, politics
with departments, and program administration
by State as HRD, Agriculture, etc.
4. More assistance from colleges and faculty who
are experts in economic and other planning
areas.
5. Need direct assistance in having representative
in the area for one to four weeks from the
creation of an idea until its implementation.
6. State and Regional OEO should get together and
provide common areas of assistance and agree-
ment.
Recommendations:
1.
We take a position on two-year funding.
2.
We hire a full time expert in alternate
funding to work with CAP's.
3.
A mutual assistance agreement on both field
work and technical assistance be arrived at
between State and Regional OEO offices.

Problems:
No continuity of Field Representatives in Federal or
State so that working relationships and confidence can
be achieved. Inadequate follow-through on State and
Federal representative's recommendations, program
objectives, or evaluations. Sometimes, no communi-
cations on these areas. Application decision should
be concurrent with Regional sign-off so that State
veto is not last minute. Equal distribution of all
communications and technical assistance, grant
materials to rural as well as urban CAP's. San
Joaquin area economic development is poor.
Discussion:
1.
Assistance in elimination of weak projects.
2. San Joaquin inter-CAP assistance program.
3. Semi-annual evaluations.
4. More contact with State supervisors of programs
in addition to representatives.
5. More direct assistance from State with
mobilizing educational, State office, and other
such resources.

Needs:
1. With mechanization should come plan for what to
do with people displaced by such progress before
the machine is used in production.
2. More housing and job development assistance to
balance the Valley economy.
3. Help with placement of poor in new IRS facility.
4. Constructive assistance from State office, help
in implementing ideas of recommendations.
Recommendations:
1. Assist with IRS employment program.
2. Get universities to develop program and plans
for providing the needs of those displaced by
mechanization in agriculture.
3.
Get university and State college economics to
work more closely with CAP's where such educa-
tional facilities exist.

procedures. First, all information will be shared with
your Board and the Regional Office. Second, we have
invited the Regional auditor to participate in our review.
Third, we have requested that the Office of Inspection,
OEO, send a person to participate in the Pourth,
we will coordinate and work with the Regional Field
Representative for Monterey. Fifth, the State will issue
a final report to all parties concerned to insure that
this investigation has full public disclosure. However,
any criminal negligence found during our investigation
will be turned over to the proper authorities and will
not be made public to guarantee the rights of the accused,
As per our discussion, our auditor. will need access to
the following records:

Dear Mr. Uhler:
A matter has been brought to my attention regarding the State OEO
Teld representative for this area, which I think is very serious
and an action which cannot be accepted or condoned as part of the
egitimate functions of a SEOO field representative as funded by the
*ffice of Economic Opportunity.
Upon being introduced to Mr. Charlton, both the CAA Board Chairman
and myself stated, and received an agreement from your representative,
it when he was to be functioning in the area which this CAP serves
that he would call, write or otherwise let us know that he was in the
mrea, and the purpose of his visit. We requested and received this agree-
ment mainly to try to avoid some of the problems that have occurred
between CAA's and delegate or community groups as well as intra-program
relations. This promise has not been honored, and more than that we feel
that Mr. Charlton has hardly been our representative long enough to
"get his feet wet" before he seems to be deeply involved in inter staff
and intra-agency differences.
More serious than this however, is the fact that someone from the State
Office of Economic Opportunity, which for a variety of reasons we believe
to be Mr. Charlton, called the Fiscal Officer of this agency at his home
and urged him to take fiscal files out of this office to his home to be
handed over to the representative. Not only is this a very serious breech
of ethics and propriety, but it seriously leads us to believe that the
pattern of using Economic Opportunity funds to provide salaries for
political batchet men is net a thing of the past, as we had hoped.
It also indicates a very grave lack of knowledge and sophistication on
the part of your office's representative, since under the Public Access to
Information rule, which applies to CAA's and has since the early days
of the program, any formal request from a legitimate group or organization
for such information would have to be honored. With this in mind, we can
only assume that the action of the representative shows a great deal of
naivety about the nature and legal requirements of this program; or worse,

Dear Mr. Ehman:
The State Office of Economic Opportunity has completed its
review of the VISTA Proposal CA-31-224-0, to assign twenty
(20) VISTA volunteers to the Legal Aid Society of Santa
Clara County, San Jose, California.
Our recommendations to the Governor are as follows:
That six (6) VISTA volunteers, all of them lawyers, be assigned
to the Legal Aid Society, but only under the following conditions:
1. That VISTA attorneys work on individual service cases
only and not engage in any other work described in the
project proposal.
2. That no VISTAs be assigned to the Mexican-American Community
Service Agency (MACSA), and that they be assigned as
follows:
Model Cities - 2
East Side - 2
Alviso - 1
Gilroy - 1 (Location to be worked out
between ourselves and Mr. Manley. )
3. That VISTA volunteers refrain totally from draft counseling.
Mr. Carl Ehman
-2-
February 9, 1971
4. That no funding be granted for a VISTA Supervisor, and
that supervision of the VISTA attorneys be handled
exclusively by 3 volunteer members of the Santa Clara
County Bar Association, to be appointed by the President
of that organization. An agreement to that effect has
been reached with the President of SCCBA, Mr. Mark
Thomas, who will also instruct said volunteer super-
visors to screen any and all legal cases being considered
by the VISTA attorneys and to meet with their assigned
VISTA volunteers on a weekly basis.
You may submit the final letter for Governor's approval.

Director

Subject:
Project V
Model Cities Liaison Group
On behalf of Lieutenant Governor Reinecke, I have held conversations with
you about the desirability and feasibility of a pilot project designed to
develop and test concepts of merging Community Action Programs with the
Model Cities program in selected localities. We have agreed, I believe,
that this idea, which we call "Project V", should be pursued. In our
discussions, we have developed the understandings that: the commitment
of the Model Cities Program and its participating citizens to act as part
of and in cooperation with its duly elected local general government is
a desirable model on which to base the proposed project; Project V should
be under the general leadership of the Lieutenant Governor; the cooperation
of the local government involved and the local citizen participation elements
of both programs is necessary to the project's success; and we will each
assign staff to conduct joint studies of Project V.
Accordingly, Mr. Leonard Down from your office and Miss JoAnn Barrett of
mine have begun to explore the areas of similarity and dissimilarity of
the OEO and Model Cities programs in the field, the possible obstacles
which we may have to face, and methods of implementing Project V. These
studies, as far as they have gone, lead me to believe that Project V is
both desirable and feasible as a pilot project in one or two carefully
selected locations. They also lead me to believe that the project will
require the active support of the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity
and Model Cities Administration, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. For these reasons, the Lieutenant Governor has directed me
to discuss Project V with Mr. Carlucci, OEO, and Assistant Secretary Hyde,
MCA/HUD, when I am in Washington next week, and to attempt to obtain their
support.
ject V is apparently about to begin. In order to give it a firm foundation,
1 an asking that you concur on the facts as stated and that you agree to this
is a memo of understanding.

The program will have 25 camps in operation during the current
year. It proposes to expand by two additional sites in fiscal year 1971-
72 if the cooperation of local agencies in site acquisition and develop-
ment can be gained. Site selection is not firm at this time.
These camps will serve an estimated 2.687 families with 13,972 mem-
bers in the current year. Contingent upon the establishment of two
new campsites, occupancy by 3,177 family units with 16,520 members
is projected for fiscal year 1971-72.
The housing fabrication element, operated by a nonprofit organiza-
tion, will annually provide vocational training and training in other
skills for 100 migrant farm laborers. Day care services are provided
at all campsite locations. Three campsites offer infant care services.
All such services are provided by local agencies.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, REVIEW, COORDINATION AND
INNOVATIVE ANTIPOVERTY PROGRAM
This program is carried ont by the State Office of Economic Oppor-
turity. The objectives of the program are (1) TO provide technical
assistance to communities and local agencies in their operation of anti-
poverty programs funded through O.E.O. grants. (2) to coordinate
related state antipoverty programs, (3) to mobilize the state resources
relating to antipoverty problems and (4) to advise and assist the
national director of O.E.O. in these matters.
In addition to these objectives. the state O.E.O. office. as a condi-
tion of its grant. is required to perform the following duties:
(1) To act as the Governor's adviser on antipoverty matters in-
cluding his approval or disapproval of 0.E.O. grants and contracts of
assistance. In these cases. the Governor has three alternatives to fol-
low during the 30-day period following receipt OF the request:
A. Acknowledge full approval. Qualified approvals are not ac-
cepted by Regional O.E.O. headquarters.
B. Allow the 30-day period to lapse without comment, in which
case the burden of approval rests with O.E.O. Washington.
C. Disapprove. In this instance the director of O.E.O. Washing-
ton has the authority to reverse the Governor's disapproval
action.
(2) To give priority to the mobilization and coordination of anti-
poverty resources, particularly at the state level. In this function the
office acts as special advocate for the participation of poor people in
state government.
(3) To provide technical assistance to community action agencies
(CAA) and other O.E.O. grantees.
(4) Act in an advisory capacity to O.E.O. regional offices on the
equitable distribution of assistance between urban and rural areas.
The State Office of Economic Opportunity proposes a total expendi-
ture of $989.625. in increase of $25,912 OVE. the current years estimate
and $585,165 over the amount originally budgeted last year. The entire
increase in the 1971-72 request over 1970-71 occurs in the state fund-
ing of the office as federal funding remains at current-year levels. The

state funding is proposal to be increased from $43,977 in the current
year 10 $69,889 in time hudget year. all increase of 58 pereent. This
increase made Juring the current year was made administratively.
The Stafe allie of Economic Opportunity das not. under the present
federal funding and regulations process; become involved with direct
assistance to the individual poor. This responsibility rests with the 42
Community Action Program grantees and the 32 single purpose O.E.O.
grantees throughout the state. The state O.E.O. does have the authority
and responsibility under Section 242 of the Economic Opportunity Act
to monitor and evaluate the programs of the grantees. Its operations
represent administrative costs.
It is in this evaluative area that the main thrust of the state office
will be directed in fiscal year 1971-72. The office was granted addi-
tional funds by the federal O.E.O. in September of 1970. These funds
were used to increase the office staff by eight new positions in the cur-
rent year. These positions are carried over into the budget year. Thir-
teen professional positions are now assigned to the evaluation of this
function The state's level of funding has been increated by $25912
This amount. plus an in-kind mateli of $52,232 is required to make up
the total state funding requirement of the $122.141.
The increase in staff was accompanied by a reorganization of the
staff with an emphasis on in-depth analysis of the grantees' perform-
ance in meeting their stated goals. This analysis occupies a period of
105 days under ideal circumstances. It begins with the office staff par-
ticipating in the 'prereview" of the grant in company with the re-
gional O.E.O. representatives and the grantee and ends with submis-
sion of the staff analysis and recommendation to the State Director of
O.E.O. The director then has 15 days to review the staff analysis and
forward his recommendations to the Governor. This process is com-
plicated by the fact that each grant is reviewed as a separate entity.
Each grant to a single agency usually has an expiration date not cor-
related with others. For instance. the Economic and Youth Opportuni-
ties Agency of Greater Los Angeles has 13 grants totaling $19,740.461,
expiring on five different dates in 1971. while the Lassen-Modoc-Plumas-
Tehama Community Action Agency. Inc., has two grants totaling 4221.-
001 expiring in 1971 on the same date. We understand that the office
is endeavoring to seek the cooperation of the regional O.E.O. in adjust-
ing expiration dates of grants to permit orderly processing at an even
level throughout the year.
The evaluations of the community action programs by the state office
are intended to cover every aspect of the grantee's program. such as
budgeting, accountability for expenditures, management. etc., with the
end view of improving the capability and efficiency of the grantee in
meeting the goals stated in their grant. In essence, the purpose of the
evaluations is to insure that these publicly funded tivities are in fact
reaching the poor for whom the programs are intended and are achiev-
ing the overall goal of breaking the cycle of poverty which afflicts a
portion of the citizenry of the state.

Department of Human Resources Development-Continued
The office also has the responsibility of review and recommendation
for the Governor's consideration on the Volunteers in Service to
America (VISTA) programs (of which there were 23 in calendar 1970)
within the state. The office actimg for the Governor in this instance is
authorized to structure such programs and assistance in the manner
that it believes will achieve the best results.
In addition to the eight positions discussed above. the state O.E.O.
has the authority, by way of four 100 percent federal funded grants.
to establish 21 other new positions in the current year. The total federal
grant for these special projects is $431.442 (no matching funds re-
quired). The purposes for which the four grants were made are as
follows:
1. A management demonstration grant to assist local community ac-
tion agencies in increasing their management capabilities. Authorizes
six professional and two clerical positions.
2. A grant to provide for the monitoring of the Oakland Community
Action Agency. Authorizes one professional and one elerical position.
3. A special technical assistance program for housing. economic de-
velopment and local agency management. Authorizes four professional
positions.
4. A volunteer coordinating grant. This grant has not been funded

The total 20 process STATE match is 8102.141. Thus an in kind match of But less than $52,252 is required to
assure the federal APAIN of $488,501.
In view of the fact that this office has been more than doubled by
administrative action since the last legislative approval and is providing
review and approval over programs totaling $113 million. we believe
I
the review reports rendered on these diverse local projects should be
carefully examined to determine whether the reports are effective and
whether the projects are effective. Pending this fuller review, we with-
hold any recommendation.
COMMISSION ON AGING PROGRAM
The State Commission on Aging Program expenditure request is
$545,054, a reduction of 10.7 percent or $65,265. The reduction is totally
within the state funding. This results in a 30.6 percent reduction in
commission support funds and a staff reduction of six positions or 54.5
percent.
The commission's program objective is the mobilization of the ap-
propriate resources of all local communities within the state to meet
the total needs of the approximately 12 million older citizens of the
state. The commission, through its staff, accomplishes this objective
by administering the Older American Act grants to communities spon-
soring local programs for their senior citizens. Table 9 reflects the
funding and staffing of the program for a five-year period.
The commission (12 members, of whom eight are Governor's ap-
pointees. and four are legislative members) approves all federal grants
to local senior citizens programs on the basis of two criteria, the value
and viability of the project and the availability of funds. All projects
are funded and approved on an annual basis. The commission staff
reviews the proposed programs. insures that an accounting system is
installed, trains the local personnel, and aids in the conduct of seminars
and other statewide activities pertinent to the program.

(6) That the major\nproblem we had during the last year had to do with time and distance\nproblems relating to giving inadequate support to the Vista Indian\n- 2 -\nProject. (7) That we had remidied this situation by going through\nthe Grent process with Vista Regional and typing up our proposal\nand intragrating Indian Vistas into the educational program. (8)\nThat the only problem this CAP had with the Vista proposal was that\nit was not practical to write one project for 25 Vistas. (9) That\nwe were able to submit three sub-project ideas in education, legal\naid, and economic development. (10) That education and legal aid\nwere approved by Vista. (11) That we were negociating on a sub--\nproject component dealing with economic development. (12) That\nI would recommend that our thinking about incorporating Vistas\ninto the staffing pattern of CAP be continued.\nAttention then focused on the Indian Vista Project and \"problems\"\nwhich may have been outside guidelines. In my response, I made\nthe following points: (1) That it was in fact, from the stand\npoint of the overall community, difficult to separate in the\nminds of the public at large the Vista Indian component from the\nPit River movement. (2) That in fact things could be separated\nas we made every effort to give direction and guidance so that\nactivities were within the guidelines. (3) That the major focus\nof activities were around educational needs, including tutorial\nprograms, dealing with the ESEA Title I Project where the school\ndistrict made commitments for involving Indian persons and had not,\nand establishing an Indian counseling program in the eastern end\nof the county. (3) That when we got wind that the movement was\noccurring, we took the following actions: (a) Removed all GSA and\nCAP cars, (o) Wrote Vista Legal Council so that we could clarify\nsome positions, more specifically around guidelines, (c) Communicated\nthis information both in writing and verbally to the Vistas so that\nthey could make personal decisions about whether or not they needed\nto resign if their activities were going to be outside OEO guidelines.\nMr. Sal Espana then brought up the matter of whether or not I thought\nour Board of Directors should \"review\" the Vista Indian Project. I\nindicated that I did not think it was necessary as the Board had been\ninformed, particularly the Executive Committee, about the Vista Indian\nProject matters.\nAt one point he kept pressing the issue and 1 asked him outright if\nhe thought the CAP Board should again review it, and Mrs. Terry McGinnis\nindicated that she thought that it would be appropriate, Mr. Espana\ntook a middle of the road position without coming up with a recommendation.\nHowever, he indicated that if in their day in Shasta County, they had\nevidence that appropriate actions were not taken, it would propably\nbe appropriate for the Board to consider the matter.\n- 3 -\nBoth Mr. Espana and Mrs. McGinnis indicated that there were \"letters\ndirected towards the Governor's office\" about the concern of the project\nand the Pit River Movement. I asked if the letters came from any particular\ngeographical portion of the community, namely the eastern end of the county,\nor if it was wide spread, they indicated that it was wide spread they\nthought.\nA few words about my approach to the matter. I attempted to remain cool,\nco-operative, informative to the point of not adding any additional in-\nformation than they already had on the basis that I would react to what\nthey brought to me at the time that that information was made available.\nMy plan now is to push both Mr. Espana and Mrs. McGinnis for actual facts,\nfigures, and written documentation to any allegations that they make before\nI take action with the Board in '3 formal manner.\nSuch is the case, keep the peace, and we will work the matter out.\nSincerely yours,\nWin\nEd Forbes\nExecutive Director\nEF/PKB\ncc: Gaylyn Boone, Field Representative\nTHE REGIONAL OFFICE AND THE SEOO\nAttachments\nREF\nPAGE\n\"MURPHY TELEGRAM\"\n53\nTelegram\n) 51 35\nLA186 SCH575 L FFA495\n(SF ( 303FF130495) PDEWU MGR SAC\n0723P EST10/30/70 =\nZCZC 040 RR PDB SACRAMENTO CALIF 30 210P PST =\nT larence\nHaule\nNEIL BODINS-DLR DONT FONE DLY CHGS GNTEED =\nWC\n1717 \"1\" ST DODESTO CALIF =\nWE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A VITAL MESSAGE FROM SENATOR\nGEORGE MURPHY IN:RESPONSE TO OUR REQUEST THAT HE\nSPEARHEAD RESTORATION OF RECENT CUTBACKS IN CALIFORNIA'S\nHEAD START FUNDS. ==\nSERATOR MURPHY STATES: \"CITIZENS FROM ALL CORNERS\nOF CAL TFORMIATHAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER, RECENT CUTS IN\nTHE HEAD START BUDGET.

I believe it is ap-\npropriate that we call a meeting of this committee sometime in\nFebruary.\nI believe the Advisory Committee should hear progress reports on the\nimportant york your staff is accomplishing in its oversight of the\nWar on Poverty in California.\nAnother area of interest to us: to what extent are the C.A.P. Agencies\nusing the technical assistance which we (the committee) requested. You\ngave notice of the availability of this assistance in your memorandum\nof October 27, 1970. I am sure there are other areas or items you would\nlike to add to the agenda for this meeting.\nSince Thursday seems to be a good day for the committee members, I. sug-\ngest we set the date of February 11, 18 or 25.\nIf you will select a date convenient for your busy schedule and list\nitems for the agenda, I will send notices to the members of the committee.\nSincerely,\nO,\n0.

Along with such ideas would be a format to follow for\nemploying these ideas and thus making them a reality in your\ncommunity. I would appreciate your personal reaction to the\nmaterial we send you as well as any other ideas you have that\ncan be shared with CAAs and CAPs throughout the State. Please\ndiscuss these ideas and the accompanying material at your\nnext CAA Board Meeting and CAP Staff Meeting to maximize program\ncommunication.\nAttached to this memorandum, you will find a specific idea\ndeveloped by Contra Costa County in raising funds for summer\nyouth work programs to provide transportation for low-income\nyouth to employment. Your response to implementation of this\nidea and evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses would be\nappreciated by this office.\nLKU:plg\nI\nAttachments\nSKATING FAIR\nFUND RAISING PROJECT FOR YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM\nIDEA: Skating Pair\nWHO TO CONTACT: Local ice or roller skating rinks in your\ncommunity\nWHEN TO PLAN PROGRAM: Before spring vacation, summer vacation,\nor Christmas recess\nHOW TO ORGANIZE THIS IDEA:\n1. Contact local skating rinks in your area to see if\nthey would be interested in sponsoring a benefit fund\nraising fair. The proceeds from this fair would go to\nyour youth program to provide transportation or defray\nother costs raised by the funds.\nThe participating rink (ice or roller) may use the\nproceeds given you from this fund raising idea as a\ntax write-off while your local CAP project may use\nthe funds raised as additional local SHARE.\n2. If rinks in your area are interested in this approach,\nthen next contact the local superintendent of schools.\nPresent the idea of a fund raising program for low-\nincome youth through the distribution of fliers to\nall children in the entire school system.\n3. If the idea is approved by both the rink and the\ncounty school superintendent, then have fliers printed\nup similar to the one attached stating the type of\nfund raising project, date of the fair, donation cost,\nand sponsor. Separate the fliers into packets of\n30-35 each and deliver to schools with sufficient\npackets to be distributed to every classroom in each\nschool in the participating district or area. Thus,\neach school should have sufficient fliers for every\nstudent in the district. Pre-packaging of this\nmaterial by your CAP will expedite distribution and\nassure maximum disbursement of the fliers.\n- 2 -\nEGESTIONS:\n1. Plan such a fund raising fair for two consecutive\nFriday afternoons between the hours of 3:00 and\n8:00 p.m. These are low attendance times for most\nskating rinks and are good times [or parents to drop\noff their children while they shop.\n2. Plan the two skating fair days to be held at least\nthree weeks before each of the holiday periods.\nTry to get the rink to turn over 100 percent of the\nproceeds in return for the distribution of fliers\nthat will advertise their rink.\nCAUTION: Be sure the only advertising on the flier\nis a masthead of the rink but not a direct advertisement.\n3. Be sure to use radio, television and newspaper coverage\nabout the fair at least two weeks prior to when the\nskating day takes place.\n4. Upon completion of the fund raising fair, be sure to\nhave a photograph in the local newspaper with the rink\nowner, superintendent of schools, and a CAA representa-\ntive receiving the proceeds from this fund raising\nevent.\nPlease send us a copy of any publicity concerning this idea.\nA sample flier and letter to school principals are attached for\nyour information and use.\nIf you have any questions about this idea or desire more information,\nplease contact our office.\nMember Ice Stating Institute of America\nICE ARENA\nNEIL ROSE, MANAGER\nProject Summer Job\nBenefit\nIn cooperation with the County Department of Education, CAP Job Development\nand Training Project, the Sun Valley Ice Arena is sponsoring a benefit Ice Skating\nFair with proceeds going to the 1971 Summer Youth Employment Program.\nDONATION: $1.00 - Includes Skate Rental\nDATE:\nFriday, December 4th\nFriday, December 11th\nTIME:\n3:00 to 7:00 P.M.\nThis one sheet offer is good for all the family.

We requested and received this agree-\nment mainly to try to avoid some of the problems that have occurred\nbetween CAA's and delegate or community groups as well as intra-program\nrelations. This promise has not been honored, and more than that we feel\nthat Mr. Charlton has hardly been our representative long enough to\n\"get his feet wet\" before he seems to be deeply involved in inter staff\nand intra-agency differences.\nMore serious than this however, is the fact that someone from the State\nOffice of Economic Opportunity, which for a variety of reasons we believe\nto be Mr. Charlton, called the Fiscal Officer of this agency at his home\nand urged him to take fiscal files out of this office to his home to be\nhanded over to the representative. Not only is this a very serious breech\nof ethics and propriety, but it seriously leads us to believe that the\npattern of using Economic Opportunity funds to provide salaries for\npolitical batchet men is net a thing of the past, as we had hoped.\nIt also indicates a very grave lack of knowledge and sophistication on\nthe part of your office's representative, since under the Public Access to\nInformation rule, which applies to CAA's and has since the early days\nof the program, any formal request from a legitimate group or organization\nfor such information would have to be honored. With this in mind, we can\nonly assume that the action of the representative shows a great deal of\nnaivety about the nature and legal requirements of this program; or worse,\nalleates\na\n020\nCAP DIV\nWESTERN REGION\nOCT21970\nW\n8AM PRANCISCO\n15.\nLewis Unler\n15 October 1970\nPage #2\nI hope you will see fit to investigate this matter and to offer proper\ntraining and guidance to your field representatives as to the vote and\nfunction of OEO funded SE00 representatives as called for by your\nOΓO contract and other appropriate documents.\nSincerely yours,\nREV.

Unler\nFebruary 3, 1971\nDirector\nState Office of Economic Opportunity\n800 Capitol Mall\nSubject:\nProject V\nModel Cities Liaison Group\nOn behalf of Lieutenant Governor Reinecke, I have held conversations with\nyou about the desirability and feasibility of a pilot project designed to\ndevelop and test concepts of merging Community Action Programs with the\nModel Cities program in selected localities. We have agreed, I believe,\nthat this idea, which we call \"Project V\", should be pursued. In our\ndiscussions, we have developed the understandings that: the commitment\nof the Model Cities Program and its participating citizens to act as part\nof and in cooperation with its duly elected local general government is\na desirable model on which to base the proposed project; Project V should\nbe under the general leadership of the Lieutenant Governor; the cooperation\nof the local government involved and the local citizen participation elements\nof both programs is necessary to the project's success; and we will each\nassign staff to conduct joint studies of Project V.\nAccordingly, Mr. Leonard Down from your office and Miss JoAnn Barrett of\nmine have begun to explore the areas of similarity and dissimilarity of\nthe OEO and Model Cities programs in the field, the possible obstacles\nwhich we may have to face, and methods of implementing Project V. These\nstudies, as far as they have gone, lead me to believe that Project V is\nboth desirable and feasible as a pilot project in one or two carefully\nselected locations. They also lead me to believe that the project will\nrequire the active support of the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity\nand Model Cities Administration, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban\nDevelopment. For these reasons, the Lieutenant Governor has directed me\nto discuss Project V with Mr. Carlucci, OEO, and Assistant Secretary Hyde,\nMCA/HUD, when I am in Washington next week, and to attempt to obtain their\nsupport.\nject V is apparently about to begin. In order to give it a firm foundation,\n1 an asking that you concur on the facts as stated and that you agree to this\nis a memo of understanding.\nSh\nTHOMAS N. DUFFY\nChief\nDate\nHuman Resources Development\nItems 231-237\nDepartment of Human Resources Development-Continued\nThe program will have 25 camps in operation during the current\nyear. It proposes to expand by two additional sites in fiscal year 1971-\n72 if the cooperation of local agencies in site acquisition and develop-\nment can be gained. Site selection is not firm at this time.\nThese camps will serve an estimated 2.687 families with 13,972 mem-\nbers in the current year. Contingent upon the establishment of two\nnew campsites, occupancy by 3,177 family units with 16,520 members\nis projected for fiscal year 1971-72.\nThe housing fabrication element, operated by a nonprofit organiza-\ntion, will annually provide vocational training and training in other\nskills for 100 migrant farm laborers. Day care services are provided\nat all campsite locations. Three campsites offer infant care services.\nAll such services are provided by local agencies.\nTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, REVIEW, COORDINATION AND\nINNOVATIVE ANTIPOVERTY PROGRAM\nThis program is carried ont by the State Office of Economic Oppor-\nturity. The objectives of the program are (1) TO provide technical\nassistance to communities and local agencies in their operation of anti-\npoverty programs funded through O.E.O. grants. (2) to coordinate\nrelated state antipoverty programs, (3) to mobilize the state resources\nrelating to antipoverty problems and (4) to advise and assist the\nnational director of O.E.O. in these matters.\nIn addition to these objectives. the state O.E.O. office. as a condi-\ntion of its grant. is required to perform the following duties:\n(1) To act as the Governor's adviser on antipoverty matters in-\ncluding his approval or disapproval of 0.E.O. grants and contracts of\nassistance. In these cases. the Governor has three alternatives to fol-\nlow during the 30-day period following receipt OF the request:\nA. Acknowledge full approval. Qualified approvals are not ac-\ncepted by Regional O.E.O. headquarters.\nB. Allow the 30-day period to lapse without comment, in which\ncase the burden of approval rests with O.E.O. Washington.\nC. Disapprove. In this instance the director of O.E.O. Washing-\nton has the authority to reverse the Governor's disapproval\naction.\n(2) To give priority to the mobilization and coordination of anti-\npoverty resources, particularly at the state level. In this function the\noffice acts as special advocate for the participation of poor people in\nstate government.\n(3) To provide technical assistance to community action agencies\n(CAA) and other O.E.O. grantees.\n(4) Act in an advisory capacity to O.E.O. regional offices on the\nequitable distribution of assistance between urban and rural areas.\nThe State Office of Economic Opportunity proposes a total expendi-\nture of $989.625. in increase of $25,912 OVE. the current years estimate\nand $585,165 over the amount originally budgeted last year. The entire\nincrease in the 1971-72 request over 1970-71 occurs in the state fund-\ning of the office as federal funding remains at current-year levels. The\n584\nItems 231-237\nHuman Resources Development\nstate funding is proposal to be increased from $43,977 in the current\nyear 10 $69,889 in time hudget year. all increase of 58 pereent. This\nincrease made Juring the current year was made administratively.\nThe Stafe allie of Economic Opportunity das not. under the present\nfederal funding and regulations process; become involved with direct\nassistance to the individual poor. This responsibility rests with the 42\nCommunity Action Program grantees and the 32 single purpose O.E.O.\ngrantees throughout the state. The state O.E.O. does have the authority\nand responsibility under Section 242 of the Economic Opportunity Act\nto monitor and evaluate the programs of the grantees. Its operations\nrepresent administrative costs.\nIt is in this evaluative area that the main thrust of the state office\nwill be directed in fiscal year 1971-72. The office was granted addi-\ntional funds by the federal O.E.O. in September of 1970. These funds\nwere used to increase the office staff by eight new positions in the cur-\nrent year. These positions are carried over into the budget year. Thir-\nteen professional positions are now assigned to the evaluation of this\nfunction The state's level of funding has been increated by $25912\nThis amount. plus an in-kind mateli of $52,232 is required to make up\nthe total state funding requirement of the $122.141.\nThe increase in staff was accompanied by a reorganization of the\nstaff with an emphasis on in-depth analysis of the grantees' perform-\nance in meeting their stated goals. This analysis occupies a period of\n105 days under ideal circumstances. It begins with the office staff par-\nticipating in the 'prereview\" of the grant in company with the re-\ngional O.E.O. representatives and the grantee and ends with submis-\nsion of the staff analysis and recommendation to the State Director of\nO.E.O. The director then has 15 days to review the staff analysis and\nforward his recommendations to the Governor. This process is com-\nplicated by the fact that each grant is reviewed as a separate entity.\nEach grant to a single agency usually has an expiration date not cor-\nrelated with others. For instance. the Economic and Youth Opportuni-\nties Agency of Greater Los Angeles has 13 grants totaling $19,740.461,\nexpiring on five different dates in 1971. while the Lassen-Modoc-Plumas-\nTehama Community Action Agency. Inc., has two grants totaling 4221.-\n001 expiring in 1971 on the same date. We understand that the office\nis endeavoring to seek the cooperation of the regional O.E.O. in adjust-\ning expiration dates of grants to permit orderly processing at an even\nlevel throughout the year.\nThe evaluations of the community action programs by the state office\nare intended to cover every aspect of the grantee's program. such as\nbudgeting, accountability for expenditures, management. etc., with the\nend view of improving the capability and efficiency of the grantee in\nmeeting the goals stated in their grant. In essence, the purpose of the\nevaluations is to insure that these publicly funded tivities are in fact\nreaching the poor for whom the programs are intended and are achiev-\ning the overall goal of breaking the cycle of poverty which afflicts a\nportion of the citizenry of the state.\n585\nHuman Resources Development\nItems 231-237\nDepartment of Human Resources Development-Continued\nThe office also has the responsibility of review and recommendation\nfor the Governor's consideration on the Volunteers in Service to\nAmerica (VISTA) programs (of which there were 23 in calendar 1970)\nwithin the state. The office actimg for the Governor in this instance is\nauthorized to structure such programs and assistance in the manner\nthat it believes will achieve the best results.\nIn addition to the eight positions discussed above. the state O.E.O.\nhas the authority, by way of four 100 percent federal funded grants.\nto establish 21 other new positions in the current year. The total federal\ngrant for these special projects is $431.442 (no matching funds re-\nquired). The purposes for which the four grants were made are as\nfollows:\n1. A management demonstration grant to assist local community ac-\ntion agencies in increasing their management capabilities. Authorizes\nsix professional and two clerical positions.\n2. A grant to provide for the monitoring of the Oakland Community\nAction Agency. Authorizes one professional and one elerical position.\n3. A special technical assistance program for housing. economic de-\nvelopment and local agency management. Authorizes four professional\npositions.\n4. A volunteer coordinating grant. This grant has not been funded\nas yet and will authorize four professional and three clerical positions.\nTable 6\nO.E.O.-Staff and Worklead Data\n1969-70\n1970-71\n1971-72\nGrant review, O.E.O. grants\n440\n450\n460\nGrant totals in millions of dollars\n$74.5\n$75\n$75\nMan-years of technical asst.\n1.6\n6.5\n6.5\nNumber of agencies asst'd.\n5\n15\n38\nAssigned staff\n15.2\n25\n25\nTable 7\nO.E.O.-Funded Grants Expiring in 1971 for 74 Agencies\nGrants\nDollar value\nMultiple component grants 1\n81\n$41,227.505\nFamily planning\n16\n835,246\nHead start\n65\n30,665,124\nEducation\n7\n2,324,430\nLegal services\n45\n9,270,238\nYouth programs\n4\n1,209,294\nIndian\n1\n267,146\nSummer programs\n3\n117,589\nNarcotics program\n1\n689.220\nComprehensive health programs\n8\n5,834,530\nAlcoholic program\n7\n1.027,811\nEmergency food and medical services\n24\n16,942,716\nPilot programs\n9\n1,814,523\nResources mobilization\n10\n1,071,755\n281\n$113,297,127\n1 15 percent of the total grant is allowed for administration.\n586\nItems 231-237\nHuman Resources Development\nTable 8 indicates the proposed funding of the state O.E.O. activities\nfor fiscal year 1971-72.\nTable 8\nState Office of Economic Opportunity\nSource of Proposed Funding and Staffing Fiscal Year 1971-72\nState-appropriated funds\nGeneral Fund (20% state match including in kind) 1\n$69,889\nFederal funds\nFive O.E.O. grants\n919.736\nTotal Support\n$989,625\nAdministration management program COSES prorated back to\nprogram\n($29,684)\nMan-years\nStaffing and Funding by Grant\n25 State O.E.O. office grant (80% federal)\n$488,564\n8 Management demonstration grant (100% federal)\n162,170\n2 Oakland monitor grant (100% federal)\n27.718\n4 Special technical assistance grant (100% federal)\n114.814\n7 Volunteer resources grant (100% federal)\n126,740\n-\n46\n$919,736\nThe total 20 process STATE match is 8102.141.

Pending this fuller review, we with-\nhold any recommendation.\nCOMMISSION ON AGING PROGRAM\nThe State Commission on Aging Program expenditure request is\n$545,054, a reduction of 10.7 percent or $65,265. The reduction is totally\nwithin the state funding. This results in a 30.6 percent reduction in\ncommission support funds and a staff reduction of six positions or 54.5\npercent.\nThe commission's program objective is the mobilization of the ap-\npropriate resources of all local communities within the state to meet\nthe total needs of the approximately 12 million older citizens of the\nstate. The commission, through its staff, accomplishes this objective\nby administering the Older American Act grants to communities spon-\nsoring local programs for their senior citizens. Table 9 reflects the\nfunding and staffing of the program for a five-year period.\nThe commission (12 members, of whom eight are Governor's ap-\npointees. and four are legislative members) approves all federal grants\nto local senior citizens programs on the basis of two criteria, the value\nand viability of the project and the availability of funds. All projects\nare funded and approved on an annual basis. The commission staff\nreviews the proposed programs. insures that an accounting system is\ninstalled, trains the local personnel, and aids in the conduct of seminars\nand other statewide activities pertinent to the program.\n507\nTHE SEOO AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT\nAND COMMUNITY GROUPS\nAttachments\nREF.\nPAGE\nWELFARE STATISTICS\n28\nAGING INFORMATION REQUEST\n28\nGOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES\n28\nFUND RAISING IDEAS\n28\nINA\nSARIN 111\n5.
