The Marin County Board of Supervisors met here it the Civic Center this morning and made two decisions regarding controversial Marin City. The first was to meet with the Marine City Community Action Committee on Friday night, May 6, to try and determine exactly what standards must be

00:00:25.580 - 00:00:45.160

set in selecting a poverty program. Director on the second was to approve the appointment of 26 year old Douglas Quiet as an interim director. Quiet replaces Walter Berman, who was fired from the poverty program last week after a disagreement with the county administrators. Office Quiet today

00:00:45.160 - 00:01:00.310

talked about his new job and Marin cities problems with the, uh, difficulties that they've been having over the last few weeks. It basically stems from the fact that the C A. C desires control over the program when it relates to Marine City. Do you feel now

00:01:00.310 - 00:01:15.900

that all the problems within the committee itself have been resolved? I hope so. One of the one of the supervisors today said that he hoped that you would now be able to resolve the problems quietly, not only within Rin City but with the Board of Supervisors.

00:01:15.900 - 00:01:30.770

Do you think that this is possible I wouldn't care to speculate on that. Do you feel that the problems within the committee have heard any progress that might be made towards jobs or recreation with in Marin City? I think the committee now is that the point

00:01:30.770 - 00:01:45.870

where they're working together? I think they're basically concerned about programs for the community. You seem to have some serious doubts, though, Mr Quiet, as to whether this thing can be resolved, these problems, the problems with the committee or with the struggle for power bi C A

00:01:45.870 - 00:02:02.150

C to control the program in Marin City. Both, I think, uh, this will have to be ironed out with the Board of Supervisors. Are you hopeful? Yes, I am. Isn't there a power struggle now within the committee itself? No, there's not. The president of the Board

00:02:02.150 - 00:02:28.610

of Supervisors, Byron Lydecker, is optimistic that something constructive maybe starting in Marin City, there must be constructive leadership come forward in the marine city community that constructive leadership exists. It has been it has come forward. Uh, in the past, it has come forward now, and I'm

00:02:28.610 - 00:02:49.250

perfectly satisfied. At least is one member of the Board of Supervisors that the community is in a position now to make much greater progress than it Waas in, say, two weeks ago, Marin City, like any Negro community, is beset with many problems, not the least of

00:02:49.250 - 00:02:58.370

which is the inability of the local leadership to agree on goals. If Marin City has now solved this problem, it has taken a giant step forward.
