I am running lor the Board of Education because our School District is facing difficult limes. I believe Public
Education can wealtier these times and still maintain quality. Parents and taxpayers have a responsibility toward
this end. We need people who can take the time to find the answers and solve the problems. I have that time
and the desire.
I am married and have three children attending school in Carlsbad. I graduated from Vista High School in 1963,
attended Patomar Junior College for two years and received a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State
University.
While a fuU time homemaker and mother, I have been a member of the Carlsbad Soccer dub Board for five
years and the Junior Women's Club Board for three years.
I am familiar with the operation of the district, working both as a part time paid Teacher's Aide and a classroom
volunteer. I was Chairperson of the School Site Committee at Magnolia. I have served on the Ethnic Balance
Committee and helped develop the Minimum Competencies in Math and Reading for Carlsbad. Recently, I worked
on the District Budget Committee.
I am committed to strong, accountable Public Education for Carlsbad children.

Nothing is more important to the future of our community than our children. Every child deserves the best
educational experience possible. I propose to bring the children of Carlsbad to the forefront of the educational
process. These are the children who will be our professional men and women, tradesmen, artists, and
merchants. They are important to each and every one of us, whether or not they belong to our immediate family,
because they certainly belong to our community family.
Rosemary and I are the parents of seven children. Angela is a 1981 graduate of Carlsbad High School; Betsy
and Erich attend the high school; T.J. attends Valley Junior High; Slefarmie, Stefan, and Francesca attend
Magnolia Elementary, where Rosemary has taught Art for two years.
I hold a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree in Business Administration.
During these times of austere budgeting, we must get the most out of each education dollar. Because I believe
our children are our future, the decisions I am required to make as a trustee win be made with the prevailing
thought: the children first.

For the past several years, I have had a growing concern for the lack of emphasis appointed to the education of
our children. The youth of today need guidance more than ever before to become productive, honest citizens.
They require a basic course of academic subjects in order to function with assurance as useful adults. Our
educators also deserve the respect of their community for their contribution to the betterment of mankind. In
some small way, I wish to help the young and bring honor to their teachers and unite the community in this
crusade.

COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
(THIS PROPOSITION WILL APPEAR ON THE BALLOT IN THE FOLLOWING FORM)
"Shad the order adopted on July 1, 1981, by the Board ot
if Supervisors of the County of San Diego ordering the Costa Real
V Municipal Water District established as a subsidiary district of the
City of Carlsbad be confirmed subject to the terms and conditions
specified in said order?"
SAN DIEGO COUNTY
LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION
* IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
You are asked to vote on the establishment of the Costa Real Municipal Water
District as a subsidiary district of the City of Carlsbad. State law requires the Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to prepare this impartial analysis of the
question on your ballot.
The Costa Real Municipal Water District is an independent special district with,
an elected board of directors which provides wholesale and retail water service in
a substantial area within the City of Carlsbad and the unincorporated areas
surrounded by the City. If establishment as a subsidiary district is approved by the
voters, the offices of the district's board of directors would be terminated, and
instead the City Council of the City of Carlsbad would function as the district's
governing board. The Costa Real Municipal Water District would continue in
existence and be responsible for the same functions and services as currently
provided.
Boundaries
The territory proposed for establishment as a subsidiary district consists of the
existing boundaries and service area of the Costa Real Municipal Water District.
No change in boundaries or service area is proposed.
Effect on Services
Establishment of the subsidiary district would not affect existing services and
service levels of the City of Carlsbad or the Costa Real Municipal Water District.
Taxes and Costs
This measure would not change taxes or water service charges paid by the City
or District residents. Certain cost savings could result from elimination of one
governing board, insurance savings, joint City-District purchase and use of equip-
ment and facilities, and consolidated customer service and billing.
V-1
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION V
Why does Carlsbad have two separate and independent water agencies serving
the same territory? The reason is "that is the way it was set up many years ago."
But Carlsbad has grown. We no longer need two water agencies.
This proposition will bring about a consolidation of the functions of the City
Water Department and the Costa Real Water District. A YES vote will place both
water agencies under the jurisdiction of the City Council.
The Costa Real Water District was formed in 1954 to provide wholesale
Colorado River water to Carlsbad and retail water service to adjacent unincorpo-
rated county areas. Costa Real now is over 70% within the city limits and lies
completely within Carlsbad's sphere of influence. Over 99% of Costa Real's
registered voters are city residents and $261 million of the $272 million of
CRMWD's assessed value lies within the city. Annexations will bring virtually all of
CRMWD territory under city jurisdiction in the near future.
A YES vote on this proposition will save money, it will eliminate duplication, it will
improve political accountability, it will unify water policies under one elected board
— the City Council, and will permit better management of the complete water
cycle — imported water, sewer water, reclaimed water, storm water. Combining
the two water agencies will produce many cost savings by consolidation of
purchasing, equipment, billing, computer programs, elections, customer services,
and overhead expenses.
This proposal is supported by a 5-1 vote of the Local Agency Formation
Commission and by a 5-0 vote of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors
during extensive public hearings in 1981.
This proposal is in harmony with the intent of Proposition 13 — it will eliminate
duplication of government agencies. This is a clear opportunity for Carlsbad voters
to consolidate services and save money.
Vote YES on Proposition V.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION V
Why does City Hall want so badly to take over the water district? The main
reason is money.
Last year the city transferred $2,050,000 from its own water department to pay
for a new police, parks and general maintenance facility. This is just one example
of how water funds can be channeled into other city departments without your
knowledge or approval.
Costa Real Municipal Water District has over $2,500,000 set aside for water
system repairs and improvements. If the city takes over, how do you know this
money will be there when it's needed?
Manipulation of water funds is standard practice in other cities. Keeping the
water district independent of City Hall is your best guarantee of lowest possible
water rates and reliable water service.
If the Costa Real water board or staff were doing a poor job, there would be
reason for certain changes. But even the city council has publicly admitted the
district's performance has been good.
The city's performance in water management, meanwhile, has cost the needless
expense of almost $3,000,000 for a "water reclamation" plant which will not work.
If anything, you should ask if Costa Real Municipal Water District should manage all
of the water programs for the city — not the other way around.
Even though the city government says it needs to control the Costa Real Water
District to serve you better, this is not so. Vote "NO" on the subsidiary district
takeover measure.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION V
Consolidation of water services to eliminate duplication is a good idea. Unfor-
tunately, the City of Carlsbad's proposal to form a subsidiary district is not a
consolidation.
Under the conditions of the County Board of Supervisors, all water district
employees would be retained. This protects the rights of public employees, but it
does not produce savings.
The only district personnel to be eliminated would be the Board of Directors,
who serve without pay. The Board would be replaced by the City Council.
But, does the Council have time to give adequate attention to water matters?
Obviously not. This means important decisions would be delegated to the staff.
Not only is the City's proposal misleading in this regard, but it is not designed
"with the intent of Proposition 13." By using water charges to generate money
which can be "transferred" to other City departments, this proposal is a clever
way to violate the spirit of Proposition 13.
An investigative committee of the County's Local Agency Formation Commis-
sion saw through the City's argument. This group, including city and special district
representatives from throughout the County, declared "the City has not demon-
strated that significant economic advantages would result from reorganization of
the District. Because the subcommittee could see no apparent benefits accruing to
water users as the result of the proposed change, they expressed the belief that
the key issues of the proposal are not of a technical nature, but are basically
political."
Don't be misled by politics. Vote "No" on Proposition V.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION V
The opponents of Proposition V say that the main reason the City wants to take
over the water district is "money." That is partly true. Combining the functions of
Costa Real Water District with the City Water Department will eliminate duplication
and save money. A consultant study in 1979 identified over $100,000 in cost
savings. By 1981 those potential savings have grown to $146,000.
The City Council appropriated $2 million in 1980 to purchase land for a
combined city service center to save money for the taxpayer by consolidating city
facilities. The Water Department will only pay its fair share of the cost. No
expenditures have been made yet.
The opponents also accuse the city of a needless expense for $3 million "water
reclamation" plant. This is a completely misleading statement. The Calavera Hills
Water Reclamation plant was built by private developers.
It is vital that Carlsbad have an adequate supply of water. Water is too important
to our future to continue the uncoordinated and fragmented water management
program which now exists. The best interests of all of Carlsbad will be served if a
long range, integrated water-sewer-planning program is carried out by your
elected City Council.
For good water planning and economy in government, VOTE YES on Proposi-
tion V.

COSTA REAL MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT
(THIS PROPOSITION WILL APPEAR ON THE BALLOT IN THE FOLLOWING FORM)
ADVISORY VOTE ONLY
lAf Should water services of the City of Carlsbad and the Costa Real
• • Municipal Water District be consolidated under the direction of
the elected Costa Real Municipal Water District Board of Directors?
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION W V
The question of consolidating Carlsbad water services under the direction of
Costa Real Municipal Water District has been placed on the ballot in response to
petitions signed by over 500 citizens. The district's Board of Directors have never
advocated spending money on elections or other projects that have not been
proven absolutely necessary. Now, however, after being forced by the city govern-
ment to defend the district against a city takeover, the Board believes this vote is
necessary.
Water is so important in semi-arid Southern California that it deserves full time
attention. Only an independent water district that does not have to compete with
other city departments can receive this attention.
An independent water district with only one function must also use all of its
income for water services. This means the money you pay for water goes for
water service only, not for other services you may not even know you are paying
for.
The Water Board's stated goal is to provide the best water service at the lowest
cost. We don't want to build an empire, or remove other public officials from their
elected positions.
We understand the water business, and have assembled a small but profession-
al staff which already looks after the water supply for the combined Costa Real
and city water department systems. For the water district to manage water
distribution for the consolidated area would simply be an extension of its current
and efficient operations, and we believe the overall level of water service in
Carlsbad would improve.
If, on the other hand, the city government were to manage the consolidated
system, it would be taking on a complex function it does not now have.
A yes vote on Proposition W will improve service and save money for all of
Carlsbad.

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION W
This proposition is calling for a straw vote to determine how many citizens would
rather see the Costa Real'Water Board in charge of the complete water system.
Even if this measure passes, it will have no legal force nor effect. It is only a public
opinion poll.
The main objective of Proposition W seems to be to confuse the voters about
Proposition V. Proposition V is the only legal action which is before the voters at
this time. Proposition V will bring about a consolidation of the Costa Real Water
District with the City of Carlsbad Water Department — under the jurisdiction of the
City Council. Proposition V is the only legal matter which will change the organiza-
tion of the water systems in Carlsbad at this time.
In order to achieve the economies and efficiencies that are possible under
Proposition V, voters are urged to vote NO on Proposition W. The Board of
Directors of Costa Real Water District would have you believe that the cost savings
which can be realized by consolidating water services under the city government,
could also be realized if Costa Real were the only responsible water agency. This
is not true. Voting YES for Proposition W is a wasted vote. Even if this proposal
passes, it would not change the present duplication of services and functions.
Proposition 13 mandated that government eliminate waste, avoid duplication
and operate effectively. Consolidation of water functions would carry out that
mandate but Proposition W will not achieve that goal. The only way consolidation
of functions can occur is through the legal procedures set forth in the District
Reorganization Act of the State of California. Proposition V is the legal approach
that has been approved by state and county organizations. Proposition V will
accomplish consolidation. Proposition W will accomplish nothing other than a
public opinion poll.
We urge you to vote NO on Proposition W.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION W
Proposition W is an advisory measure — a popularity contest sponsored by
CRMWD to confuse the voters. You should know the CRMWD Board has delayed
Proposition V from appearing on this same ballot tor over a year by a series o1
delaying actions and has initiated or instigated two legal suits to prevent you from
voting on Proposition V — now they're sponsoring this advisory measure that has
no legal validity, to further cloud the issue.
We agree that water is one of many essentials to our Southern California way of
life — so essential that the entire water cycle, delivery, use, reclamation and reuse
must be completely integrated with and considered as a part of all vital govern-
mental decisions. An independent water district, making decisions in isolation and
often because of own self-interest, does not meet the total needs of this
community.
No permanent district employees will be terminated. The District's outside
consultants, contract employees and policy making board, however, are all dupli-
cations of full-time City staff or active City Council — their elimination can lead to
savings of $150,000 per year, over a million dollars total in 7 years.
How will a yes vote on Proposition W improve service and save money? The
District has failed to provide or even develop any information that gives you such
information, but, expect you to take these statements on "faith," "believe us," and
similar pleas. Do not be confused — vote NO on Proposition W.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION W
Isn't your opinion worthwhile? Doesn't your vote count? City Hall doesn't think
so.
The City Council's argument against this advisory vote has one simple message,
they would ignore you. This is what the Council did in 1972 when an impartial
citizens committee studied the matter of water consolidation and recommended
that a consolidated water system be managed by the Water District. A legal
agreement which would have accomplished this recommended action was
presented to the City Council. It was ignored.
The area served by the City Water Department is already within Costa Real
Municipal Water District. For the District to assume water distribution in that area is
not-only legal, but very easy to do. The only stumbling block is City Hall, which
would have to abide by the people's advisory vote. But, says the Council, "It is
only a public opinion poll" .... "a wasted vote."
If this does not give you the full message, there is little the Water District can say
or do to prove our case.
Please study the facts about water supply and service in Carlsbad. Most
importantly, look at the large sums of money that are at stake. This is your money;
and let there be no misunderstanding that City Hall wants water revenues for
purposes other than water system improvements.
Your opinion is worthwhile. Your vote does count. Please study the facts and
vote as you see fit.
