Elected officials must be accessible and accountable to the people they represent. During the last five years I have served as Trustee for Carlsbad Unified School District. I have worked to assure that Carlsbad schools provide a quality education to meet the needs of our varied population. In 1984, our school district was recognized as one of 17 in the United States for outstanding efforts to achieve excellence in education. Because I realize the impact state government has on our local district, I have been active in the California School Board Association, serving as delegate for San Diego County. I am a member of that association's Legislative Network to assure that our state legislators understand the impact their decisions have on our local districts. Locally, I served the County School Boards Association as president, 1985 - 86. I am married and have three children attending Carlsbad public schools. I graduated from Vista High School and attended Palomar College. I have a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Education from Arizona State University and have done graduate work in Special Education. I am committed to strong, accountable Public Education for our Carlsbad children. CARLSBAD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Member of the Governing Board DONALD M.

I believe as taxpayers we are all shareholders in the education of our children. Carlsbad benefits from our schools' successes and suffers from its failures.

Carlsbad deserves Board members who care about our children's educational environment. Working conditions of certificated and classified staff must be improved. _ Special attention is needed at Carlsbad High School and Valley Junior High School. The * district must develop a comprehensive plan with regards to staffing, materials, class size and facilities to insure conformity with projected growth; if educational needs are anticipated before a crisis materializes, the board would not be forced into reactive decisions. High academic standards, adequate supplies, excellent staff morale and positive opportunities for student success help students maximize their potential. I pledge to work for the same excellence in education for every student of every ability that I would demand for my own.

NCS-019.3 398-18 CITY OF CARLSBAD Mayor CLAUDE "BUD" LEWIS Age: 55 Teacher - Varsity Coach As your-Coundlman for the past sixteen years, I have responded to your concerns in the development of our city. Our need for more roads, schools, and parks has been evident. I have repeatedly voted against any development which would put additional strain on these facilities. As Vice Mayor, I pushed for a strict Growth Management Plan where facilities and services must be in place prior to development I believe the City's plan, which I co-authored, is the best solution to the growth problems facing our city. I have insisted upon and encouraged the councH to approve a significant reduction in the overall density of our dty. This wiN allow for an increased allotment for open spaces. Another achievement was my work on the recently revised traffic circulation plan. The Growth Management Plan Includes this and also states that adequate circulation must be in piace prior to development I will continue to work to prevent any expansion of Palomar Airport My other priorities will be the construction of a Senior Citizen's Center, a permanent Library in South Carlsbad, and city-wide park facilities.

NCS-022.1 3M-21 CITY OF CARLSBAD Member of the City Council LOIS HUMPHREYS Age: 40 Director, Leucadia County Water As a long time community activist and present officeholder on the Leucadia County Water District, I feel I am well qualified to be on the Carlsbad City Council. I have worked diligently in Carlsbad to see that our tax dollars are spent wisely. I led the election which defeated a satellite sewage treatment facility which would have been located near to residential homes and cost millions in wasted tax money. I helped other citizens pressure the City Council into passing more open and honest campaign disclosure laws. I worked to protect residents from the danger and noise of trucks passing through our neighborhood streets. I worked with Concerned Citizens to gather signatures for the Citizens Slow Growth Initiative, and I wholeheartedly support that measure. The future of Carlsbad will depend on elected officials with experience in local government and who can plan intelligently for the future. As your elected Council member, you will have a leader who will respond to citizens' concerns and who will help Carlsbad grow sensitively, gracefully and sensibly into a community in which we will all be proud to live. CITY OF CARLSBAD Member of the City Council ROGER BURKE Age: 50 Training Administrator My wife Elizabeth and I have lived in Carlsbad with our four children for the past seventeen years. My concern for the future of Carlsbad and my pride in what it has been and can be led me to file for this office. During the next few short years Carlsbad will take its final configuration. This is the most vital point in our city's history. I want to make sure that the special features of our city are retained. The most important of these are our remaining Eucalyptus groves, our beaches and our lagoons. We must make sure that each step we take now leads to enhancement of these key features, as well as, to selection of the most beautiful additional projects that can be designed. While Assistant Principal at Carlsbad High School and as President of the Optimist Club of Carlsbad, I provided leadership to foster a cooperative, cost effective approach with other community service organizations and city officials on many civic projects. One of the most memorable of those projects was the Carlsbad Bicentennial Celebration which I had the privilege to direct. I wish to continue my public service as your councilman and I enlist your support. CITY OF CARLSBAD Member of the City Council PAT HOLZEMER-RUNSVOLD Age: 48 Teacher; Administrative Assistant I believe as a long time resident of Carlsbad that I can more truly represent the larger group of our citizens that demand and expect reasonable and economical solutions to our city's current problems.

I am married to a native California businessman and we have four children who have attended Carlsbad Schools. I subscribe to local newspapers and am conversant with the workings of our city council and the Coastal Commission. I am a very active representative of the city neighborhood where my family resides. My principal concerns for Carlsbad are: 1. To represent all citizens equally, fairly and with courtesy ... 2. Insist on tighter control of building growth and development to prevent loss of planning control and excess cost burden to current citizens ... 3. Institute neighborhood "town-meetings" which will address, update and represent the needs and desires of the citizens to the City Council... 4. Insist that La Costa area families have full representation in Carlsbad planning for integration of southern areas ... 5. Listen to the wisdom of senior citizens ... 6. Clean and adequate supply of water for a growing city.

I will therefore vigorously work to implement a system of clearly understandable guidelines for local development consistent with our citizens' desires. Public Facilities - I will insure the timely completion of a new full-service Senior Citizens Center. Library Facilities must be expanded at the main branch and full services extended to the community's southern areas. A new City Hall is needed.

NCS-022.8 398-28 CITY OF CARLSBAD Proposition E (This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.) E Shall an ordinance be adopted to provide as a part of the 1986 growth management plan that 1) NO DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE APPROVED by the City of Carlsbad unless it is guaranteed that concurrent with need all necessary public facilities be provided as required by said plan with emphasis on ensuring good traffic circulation, schools, parks, libraries, open space and recreational amenities; and 2) the City Council shall not approve residential development which would increase the number of dwelling units beyond the limit in said ordinance WITHOUT AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE CITIZENS. The City may arH additional public facilities. The City shall not reduce public facilities without a corresponding reduction in the residential dwelling unit limit. PROPOSED ORDINANCE The People of the City of Carlsbad do ordain as follows: A. That the Carlsbad general plan shall be amended by the amendment of the Public Facilities and Land Use Elements to add the following: "The City of Carlsbad in implementing its public facilities element and growth management plan has made an estimate of the number of dwelling units that will be built as a result of the application of the density ranges jn the Land Use Element to individual projects. The City's Capital Improvement Budget, growth management plan, and public facilities plans are all based on this estimate. In order to ensure that all necessary public facilities will be available concurrent with need to serve new development it is necessary to limit the number of residential dwelling units which can be constructed In the City to that estimate. For that purpose the City has been divided into four quadrants along El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road. The maximum number of residential dweMing units to be constructed or approved in the City after November 4, 1986 is as follows: Northwest Quadrant 9,844; Northeast Quadrant 6,166; Southwest Quadrant 10,667; Southeast Quadrant 10,801. The City shall not approve any General Plan amendment, zone change, tentative subdivision map or other discretionary approval for a development which could result in development above the limit in any quadrant In order to ensure that development does not exceed the limit the following growth management control points are established for the Land Use Element density ranges. ALLOWED DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE General Plan Growth Management Penalty Ranges Control Point RL 0 - 1.5 1.0 RLM 0-4.0 3.2 RM 4 •>• 8.0 6.0 RMH 8 - 15.0 11.5 RH 15 - 23.0 19.0 (Continued on next page) PR-001.1 398-39 The City shall not approve any residential development at a density that exceeds the growth management control point for the applicable density range without making the following findings: 1.'That the project will provide sufficient additional public facilities for the density in excess of the control point to ensure that the adequacy of the City's public facilities plans will not be adversely impacted. 2. That there have been sufficient developments approved in the quadrant at densities below the control point to cover the units in the project above the control point so the approval will not result in exceeding the quadrant limit. The City Manager shall monitor all approvals and report to the Planning Commission and City Council on an annual basis to ensure that the construction of residential units within each quadrant, on a cumulative basis, will be at or below the growth management control points and that the overall quadrant limits are being maintained. If the annual report indicates in any way that it is likely that the limit may be exceeded, the Council shall take appropriate action by revising the growth management plan and the City's zoning code to ensure that the ceilings will be maintained. The City Council or the Planning Commission shall not find that all necessary public facilities will be available concurrent with need as required by the Public Facilities Element and the City's 1986 growth management plan unless the provision of such facilities is guaranteed. In guaranteeing that the facilities will be provided emphasis shall be given to ensuring good traffic circulation, schools, parks, libraries, open space and recreational amenities. Public facilities may be added. The City Council shall not materially reduce public facilities without making corresponding reductions in residential densities. Nothing in this section shall be construed as changing the requirement that any specific residential density above the minimum allowed by the Land Use Element density ranges and the applicable zoning shall be justified according to the requirements of the appropriate General Plan and zoning provisions. (Continued on next page) 398-40 B. The zoning map of the City of Carlsbad shall be amended to provide that building permits issued or approved for residential dwelling units in the City after November 4, 1986 shall not exceed the limits established in the map in this section. The numbers on the map shall not be increased without an affirmative vote of the people. 5,844 Dwelling Units 10,667 Dwelling Units I 10,801 Dwelling Units C. The City Council shaH adopt amendments to Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Growth Management) as necessary to Implement the General Plan amendment of Section A and the Map of Section B. D. This ordinance is inconsistent with and intended as an alternative to any initiative ordinance which would place an annual numerical limitation on the rate of residential construction. If this ordinance and any such initiative ordinance are both passed by a majority voting thereon then the one with the most votes shall prevail." PR-001.3 398-41 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION E Most people agree that the pace of growth in Carlsbad has been so fast that a moratorium on building was needed. The moratorium gave Carlsbad time to find an intelligent way to plan future growth. The result is Proposition E, which puts strict rules on the books—rules that can't change unless you, the voter, change them. Proposition E puts a permanent cap on the total number of residential units that can be built in Carlsbad; reduces the overall density of the city and guarantees that we will always be a low density residential community with 40% open space. NO DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE APPROVED unless all required public facilities are provided up front. Proposition E guarantees that the cost of needed public facilities will be paid by land developers and future homeowners—not by current Carlsbad taxpayers. Proposition E gives us controlled growth without increased taxes and without destroying our property values or beautiful community. Proposition E was put on the ballot by the City Council and is endorsed by the Carlsbad Unified School District. Now is the time to put strict limits on development and a cap on our future growth. Vote to preserve Carlsbad. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION E MARY H. CASLER ANN J. KULCHIN RICHARD J. CHICK CLAUDE A. LEWIS HOWARD C. HARMON REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION E The City concedes the pace of growth was so fast a moratorium was needed and yet, it concocted a scheme that does nothing to slow down the pace of growth. Proposition E together with the growth management ordinance that is not on the ballot will, if faithfully implemented, provide public facilities. But that's not the problem. The problem is too much growth, too fast. And Proposition E does nothing to cure the cancer of ever-increasing growth. That cancer will eventually kill the quality of life most of us carne to find. Proposition E puts a cap on the number of residential units, but that cap is neither permanent nor does it slow down the rate of growth. As stated in the ballot question Proposition E is an amendment to the 1986 growth management ordinance, which is not on the ballot. That ordinance contains a self-destruct date of June 30, 2001, fifteen years from now. That provision kills the claim of permanence. And how does Proposition E and the associated ordinance slow the pace of growth, which the city agrees is out of control? The city and the developers would like you to believe that by tying growth to the provision of public facilities, growth will slow down. But, will it, really? What if the city and developers build the facilities faster than needed? Obviously, growth will be speeded up instead of slowed. If you want EXPLOSIVE GROWTH vote for E. If you want GRADUAL GROWTH vote for G. COL. A. J. SKOTNICKI, USMC Ret. Secretary, Association of Carlsbad Taxpayers THOMAS WILLIAM SMITH Co-Chairman, Concerned Citizens PR-001.4 398-42 ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION E There are two ballot propositions on growth on the ballot. One is the CITIZENS' SLOW GROWTH INITIATIVE, PROPOSITION G. The other is City Hall's PROPOSITION E. If you want the growth rate slowed down, PROPOSITION G will do it. It limits growth to 1000 new dwelling units in 1987 — 750 in 1988 and 500 a year for the next 8 years. That's a drastic much-needed cut from the growth binge of 2500 to 3000 dwelling units in recent years. So, if you want SLOW GROWTH, vote YES on PROPOSITION G. Only the voters can change it ~ City Hall can't. You want facilities up front? That's already provided by City Hall's growth management plan ~ it became law Aug. 1,1986 and IS NOT ON THE BALLOT. What does City Hall's PROPOSITION E give you? Actually, it's a trick to confuse thousands of voters who want SLOW GROWTH. It fixes a "cap" of 34,600 more dwtlling units. It does not SLOW GROWTH. It permits FAST GROWTH. PROPOSITION E also contains a killer clause to kill the Citizens' Slow Growth Initiative. Be aware that City Hall has shamefully approved a propaganda campaign using tax dollars to manipulate voters. Thus, if you want SLOW GROWTH and FACILITIES UP FRONT, you get both by voting YES on PROPOSITION G and NO on PROPOSITION E. If you dont vote this way, then in ten years you'll get up to 82,700 more people in Carlsbad — an average minimum of 138,400 additional car trips per day. We'll need 9 more elementary schools. Developers and City Hall won't save Carlsbad from becoming L. A. South — the voters will have to do it. You can do it by voting YES on PROPOSITION G and NO on PROPOSITION E. It may be your last chance to save the Carlsbad we love. NELSON ALDRICH ALBERT MENDOZA Co-Chairman, Concerned Citizens Treasurer, Concerned Citizens Carlsbad City Council Candidate THOMAS WILLIAM SMITH COL. A. J. SKOTNICKI, USMC Ret. Co-Chairman, Concerned Citizens Secretary, Association of Carlsbad Taxpayers PR-001.5 398-43 Fact: Fact: REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION E PROPOSITION E places a limit on the number of homes that can EVER be built in Carlsbad. This limit can ONLY be changed by a VOTE of the people. There is no such limit under Proposition G. PROPOSITION E IS A PLAN FOR THE ORDERLY LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT OF CARLSBAD. PROPOSITION E provides that NO DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE APPROVED without all public facilities being required up front. This means the roads, schools, parks, libraries and open space have already been planned, and a method for their financing and time table for their installation has been approved before any construction starts. Density has been lowered throughout the City while open space has been greatly increased. PROPOSITION E is a blueprint for the orderly development of Carlsbad over the next 20 years so you will know exactly where, when and how development is going to occur. Proposition G does not give you any-such answers. PROPOSITION G IS NO PLAN AT ALL. The opponents of PROPOSITION E contend that if you vote for PROPOSITION E you will be authorizing an increase of over 83,000 new people to Carlsbad within the next 10 years. RIDICULOUS! The City has only grown to 52,000 in its 100 years of existence. PROPOSITION E is supported by a large number of responsible electors who have studied the issues. It is a thoughtful, far-reaching masterplan for the future of Carlsbadover the next two decades. VOTE YES ON PROPOSITION E Fact: Fact: Fact: JEANNE B. MC FADDEN, Co-chair Carlsbad Association of Responsible Electors STEPHEN M. L'HEUREUX President Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce HOWARD C. HARMON Vice-president Senior Citizens Association Co-chair Carlsbad Association of Responsible Electors JULIE NYGAARD, Trustee Carlsbad Unified School District SEENA TRIGAS Trustee, Carlsbad Library PR-001.6 398-44 CITY OF CARLSBAD Proposition F (This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.) F Bond Proposition: Shall the City of Carlsbad, California, incur a bonded indebtedness in the principal amount of $5,950,000 for the purpose of the acquisition by said City of a certain muni- cipal improvement, to wit: approximately 52.68 acres of undeveloped land known as Hosp Grove to be acquired for park and open space purposes, and for the payment of all costs and expenses in connection with such acquisition and the issuance of the bonds? PR-001.7 398-45 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION F The Hosp Grove bond issue offers voters an historic opportunity to preserve this treasured Carlsbad landmark. For over two decades, concerned citizens have been trying to protect from further development a rustic stand of woods and wildlife dear to generations of Carlsbad residents. Hosp Grove's value to the community goes far beyond its scenic function as northern gateway to the city and majestic backdrop to the urban mall and Buena Vista Lagoon. The forest harbors a rich population of small animals and tree-nesting birds. It is a nature area in the heart of the city—a buffer between commercial and residential areas, between the lagoon and the inevitable pollutants of urban development. And it is a living symbol of the endangered Carlsbad we all cherish. The bond issue is our last chance to preserve intact the grove's remaining unspoiled acres. Under terms of the development-purchase agreement approved by the city council, the grove's owners will be allowed to develop the slopes adjacent to Monroe and Matron streets (across from Plaza Camino Real) should the bond issue fail to pass by a 2/3 majority. The agreement also commits the city (if the bonds fail) to pursue a nearly million-dollar purchase of a lesser parcel, most of which is already protected as designated open space or dedicated park land. This agreement has limited the public's options on Hosp Grove. Foreclosing the possibility of alternate solutions, it requires voters to choose now between approving bonds for outright purchase of the forest or accepting the extensive commercial and residential development permitted by the agreement. Given these choices, it is clear that only a YES vote on the bonds will accomplish the long desired goal. Proposition F is the last chance to save our beloved Hosp Grove for our own and future generations. MARK PETTINE City Council Member City of Carlsbad KAY F. CHRISTIANSEN Historical Preservation Commission CLAUDE LEWIS City Council Member City of Carlsbad JULIE FISH Neighborhood Alliance to Save Hosp Grove O. B. ADAMS Co-Founder La Costa Community Awareness Group REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION F NONSENSE! The real issue is whether the City should spend $5,950,000 to buy Hosp Grove when the City presently has the right to buy the majority of the Grove for $975,000. THERE IS NO COMMUNITY-WIDE BENEFIT to spending nearly 5 million additional dollars, since the most visible and environmentally sensitive parts of the Grove will be preserved under the terms of the development-purchase agreement. VOTE NO in order to retain Carlsbad's financial ability to buy other open space and park lands of broader community benefit. RUTH L COYLE PR-001.8 398-46 ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION F Vote NO on the Ballot Proposition I The proposal to acquire 52.68 acres of Hosp Grove for $5,950,000 would be a waste of taxpayers' money, and would raise the property taxes of every property owner in Carlsbad. The majority of Hosp Grove is too steep to be usable, and its acquisition would benefit only a small number of nearby residents. What Carlsbad needs is more usable park land that can be used for Little League, soccer, softball, and other recreational activities. Six million dollars could buy a large amount of flatter, more appropriate park land for use by all Carlsbad residents. There is an alternative to spending $5.950.000! The City Council has already approved a proposal that could be implemented if this ballot measure fails. Under this proposal, the City would acquire more than half of Hosp Grove for 1/6 the cost of acquiring the 52.68 acres. This proposal includes the City acquisilon of 9 acres of Hosp Grove land on Jefferson Street, across from the popular duck-feeding area of Buena Vista Lagoon, for $975,000. In addition, the City would receive approximately 18.8 acres of dedicated open space in Hosp Grove free, should a specialty commercial center at the corner of Monroe and Marron Streets, and a residential development off Hosp Way be approved. Instead of paying increased taxes to acquire mostly unusable land which benefits only a few people, the alternative proposal allows the City of Carlsbad to acquire the most usable and visible areas of Hosp Grove for 1/6 of the price, at no cost to taxpayers. Vote NO on the Ballot Proposition! RUTH L. COYLE REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION F The value of Hosp Grove cannot be measured by the same use-factor criteria as active sports parks—such as Stagecoach Park and Calaveras Hills Park, both of which will feature ample playing fields when completed. Like other nature parks, such as Yosemite and Sequoia National Forest, the value of Hosp Grove lies in the visual grandeur of its wooded slopes—enjoyed by everyone who passes—and in its presence as a nature area in the heart of the city. Unless Proposition F passes, the entire hillside east of the Monroe and Marron intersection (across from the mall) will be bulldozed flat for a shopping center; and the slopes west of the intersection will be selectively graded for office buildings. Proposition F allows us to retain the present wooded hillsides at that corner, rather than add more commercial development with more commercial traffic. In strict financial terms, the alternative proposal is a bad bargain for taxpayers, because we would be paying a disproportionate price for development rights, without commensurate benefits. Moreover, the "No" argument does not make clear that the slopes across from the duck-landing area (which is protected by the Department of Fish and Game) are included in the Proposition F bond issue. We have one last chance to save this historic Carlsbad landmark: Vote Yes on F. JULIE FISH Neighborhood Alliance to Save Hosp Grove PR-001.9 398-47 CITY OF CARLSBAD Proposition G (This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.) G Shall an initiative ordinance be adopted adding Chapter 21.64 to the Carlsbad Municipal Code which would RESTRICT THE RATE OF CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS in the City for ten years commencing January 1, 1987 to not more than 1,000 units in 1987, 750 units in 1988 and 500 units each year thereafter through 1996 with exceptions for the replacement of damaged or destroyed units and for low income or senior citizen projects. The City of Carlsbad shall vigorously defend any challenge to the validity or constitutionality of this ordinance inasmuch as this ordinance represents the desires of a majority of the voters of Carlsbad. 5. It any section, sentence, clause, phrase, ;>art, or portion of this chapter is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this chapter. It is hereby declared that this chapter and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, part, or portion thereof, would have been adopted or passed irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, sentences, clauses, phrases, parts, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. 6. a) This chapter shall expire and be of no further force and effect on January 1, 1997; and b) The City Council shall place a measure on the ballot of the November 1996 general municipal election asking the City's electors if this chapter shall be extended until December 31, 2000 with a restriction on the construction of dwelling units not to exceed 500 units per year. 7. This chapter represents the will of a majority of the voters of Carlsbad and the City Council shall take all steps necessary to vigorously defend any challenge to the validity or constitutionality of this chapter." PROPOSED ORDINANCE The People of the City of Carlsbad do ordain as follows: That Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code shall be amended by the addition of Chapter 21.64 to restrict the rate of construction of residential dwelling units in the City for ten years commencing January 1,1987. 1. The City of Carlsbad is experiencing intense residential development which is adversely affecting the capacity of schools to accommodate students, the capacity of city streets and local freeway systems to meet traffic needs, the semirural character of 'the community and the quality of life prevalent in Carlsbad. The people of Carlsbad are very much concerned about the City's rapid growth. ' It is the intent of this chapter to obtain a lower rate of residential development; to permit effective advance planning and establishment of adequate municipal services such as schools, streets, parks, water, sewage, police and fire protection, and other customary services; to provide for a desirable amount of open space; to ensure availability of housing for a broad spectrum of population; and to prevent the deterioration of the quality of life prevalent in Carlsbad. In approving development priority shall be given to the construction of residential dwelling units which have the least adverse impact upon the public facilities and services as well as the quality of life prevalent in Carlsbad as described in this section. 2. Commencing January 1, 1987 and continuing through December 31, 1996, the City of Carlsbad shall not allow the start of construction of more than 1,000 residential dwelling units in 1987, 750 residential dwelling units in 1988, and 500 residential dwelling units each year thereafter through 1996. 3. The limitations of Section 21.64.020 shall not apply to: a) Projects replacing damaged or destroyed dwellings on a one-for-one basis; b) Remodeling or additions to existing dwellings which do not result in an increase in the number of dwelling units; and c) Dwelling units of any low income or senior citizen projects funded or subsidized pursuant to the provisions of applicable federal or state law. 4. This chapter may be amended or repealed only by a majority of the voters voting at an election thereon. (Continued on next page) PR-001.10 398-48 PR-001.11 398-49 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION G For years, plans of developers have been placed above desires of Carlsbad citizens. As a result, the growth rate is raging out of control. The majority of the City Council refuses to take effective action against this rampant rate of growth. PROPOSITION G is a Citizens' Initiative, designed by Citizens, to respond to Citizens' desire to slow growth in Carlsbad. PROPOSITION G was circulated by your neighbors and was placed on the ballot by the signatures of 5,100 Citizens. The aim of PROPOSITION G is to curb growth the next ten years. It allows about 1000 dwelling units to be built in 1987, 750 in 1988, and 500 units per year thereafter for 8 years, when it will be submitted to the Citizens for a vote. It will reduce the number of people jamming our streets, beaches, parks, schools, playing fields and other public and private facilities. This will allow City planners to absorb the extraordinary growth of recent years. PROPOSITION G is a reasonable slow growth plan similar to those approved in San Clemente and many other California communities. PROPOSITION G tells the City Council what Citizens want in clear terms. It allows a limited number of new dwellings every year. Developers must compete for the right to build, insuring better quality projects. PROPOSITION G would allow only 13,800 more people in Carlsbad in the next ten years. City Hall and developer plans would allow up to 82,700 people in the next ten years. PROPOSITION G focuses on the issue directly affecting the quality of life of the Citizens: too many people, packed into too little space, too fast! PROPOSITION G is our last chance to choose between a quality of life like that of L A. or what we enjoy in Carlsbad. Vote YES on PROPOSITION G to save Carlsbad. NELSON ALDRICH Co-Chairman, Concerned Citizens THOMAS WILLIAM SMITH Co-Chairman, Concerned Citizens ALBERT MENDOZA Treasurer, Concerned Citizens Carlsbad City Council Candidate COL. A. J. SKOTNICKI, USMC Ret. Secretary, Association of Carlsbad Taxpayers REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION G The proponents of Proposition G would have you believe that its passage will solve all of Carlsbad's problems. THIS IS FALSE. Proposition G does NOT provide for the construction of roads, schools, parks, libraries and open space. Where will the City get the needed funds? PROPOSITION G IS NO PLAN AT ALL- PROPOSITION G WILL PROMOTE UNLIMITED LOW INCOME AND SUBSIDIZED HOUSING, rt also allows only a limited number of housing units each year of the type which most Carlsbad residents prefer. Do you really want Carlsbad to develop this way? Proposition G is BAD for Carlsbad and its economy. Where will your children live? If Proposition G passes, it probably will not be in Carlsbad. Proposition G will NOT encourage the development of a quality community with housing opportunities for all. Proposition G will encourage low income housing which will dramatically affect the "quality of life" in Carlsbad. Proposition G requires the City to defend all legal challenges to its constitutionality. The cost of such lawsuits could be tremendous. This will mean less monies available for other projects. Defeat of Proposition G will protect the City from years of litigation and save your dollars. Proposition G will NOT produce a balanced community of homes, industry, commercial and open space areas which we all want. PROPOSITION G IS A POORLY CONCEIVED INITIATIVE WHICH WILL ONLY HARM AND DIVIDE OUR CITY RATHER THAN SOLVE ITS PROBLEMS. VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION G JEANNE B. McFADDEN, Co-chair Carlsbad Association of Responsible Electors STEPHEN M. L'HEUREUX President Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce HOWARD C. HARMON, Vice-president Senior Citizens Association Co-chair, Carlsbad Association of Responsible Electors JULIE NYGAARD, Trustee Carlsbad Unified School District SEENA TRIGAS Trustee, Carlsbad Library MARK PETTINE Carlsbad City Councilman PR-001.12 398-50 PR-001.13 398-51 ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION G VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION G Proposition G sounds tough but it really isn't. Supporters of Proposition G want you to believe that this one page document provides a blueprint for Carlsbad's development for the next ten years, but it does not. Proposition G will produce pressure for zone changes and general plan amendments and result in an unbalanced community. Proposition G leaves Carlsbad open to industrial, commercial and low income housing development, creating unlimited traffic and no way to pay for schools. Arbitrary numerical limitations on growth will not work. They make it impossible for the City to raise the money for necessary public facilities. If passed, The City will be sued by the building industry and developers. The cost of defense will be substantial and will have to be paid from taxpayers' funds. Recent rulings of the Supreme Court have said that numerical growth limitations must be justified by objective facts. No such justification has been presented in this measure. None of us wants the kind of growth and development that Propositon G permits. Proposition G is poorly written and full of loopholes; it's a legal nightmare and a lawyer's dream. VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION G MARY H. CASLER ANN J. KULCHIN RICHARD J. CHICK CLAUDE A. LEWIS HOWARD C. HARMON REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION G VOTE YES ON G Sounds tough? If G isn't as tough as it sounds, why are all the developers and the city council majority fighting it so much? It's tough, all right, and they know it. Proposition G makes, no pretenses about being anything except a restriction on the construction of dwelling units in the next ten years. In itself, G creates no imbalance in development. Only if the city council illegally disturbs that balance by allowing zone changes or too many low income housing developments would there be an unbalanced community. Providing the necessary public facilities is not the problem. LA. has adequate public facilities. Do you want to live there? The problem is too many people, too fast. There are adequate funds available to provide the necessary public facilities for the new dwellings Proposition G allows. However, there will never be enough public facilities to maintain our existing quality of life under the city/developer plan, Proposition E. The City is beseiged with growth problems. Therefore, there is a substantial legal justification for Proposition G. In fact, the City Council has already made the necessary legal findings to support justification by enacting the so-called growth management plan. The council majority is trying to deceive us when they claim there is no justification, since they have already found it to be true. Initiatives like Proposition G have already been subjected to legal challenge and been upheld. Vote YES on G, Gradual Growth, and NO on E, Explosive Growth.

Shall an initiative ordinance be adopted as fotiows: "During the calendar years 1987 and 1968 the City of Carlsbad, California shall (must) build in the Macario Canyon Park, all of the following: 1) Five (5) baseball/softball fields, each with a minimum distance from home plate to any outfield fence of three hundred feet, and each field lighted for night use; 2) four (4) rectangular soccer/football fields, each with minimum measurements of two hundred feet wide and three hundred fifty feet long, each field will be lighted for night use; 3) One (1) community center, containing a gymnasium large enough to house an official full sized basketball court, plus spectator seating; 4) A tot lot, picnic area, and adequate public facilities (restrooms, parking, lots, bleachers, etc.) to service the entire Ballfleld and Sports Complex facility. We believe the estimated cost of this project to be approximately Three and One-Half Million Dollars ($3,500,000.00) and feel that it is a good investment in our City's future. PROPOSED ORDINANCE The People of the City of Carlsbad do ordain as follows: "During the calendar years 1987 and 1988 the City of Carisbad, California shall (must) build in the Macario Canyon Park, all of the following: 1. Five (5) baseball/softball fields, each with a minimum distance from home plate to any outfield fence of three hundred feet, and each field lighted for night use; 2. Four (4) rectangular soccer/football fields, each with minimum measurements of two hundred feet wide and three hundred fifty feet long, each field will be lighted for night use; 3. One (1) community center, containing a gymnasium large enough to house an official full sized basketball court, plus spectator seating; 4. A tot lot, picnic area, and adequate public facilities (restrooms, parking lots, bleachers, etc.) to service the entire Batlfield and Sports Complex facility. We believe the estimated cost of this project to be approximately Three and One-Half Million Dollars ($3,500,000.00) and feel that it is a good investment in our City's future. Severability Clause.

This measure will require the City to fulfill its promises to provide the much needed Sports & Recreation Facilities in the City of Carlsbad's existing Macario Canyon Park. It is our opinion that the city has sufficient funds to provide these facilities for the Citizens of Carlsbad. JAMES A. COURTNEY Chairman, C.A.R.A. Carlsbad Athletic Recreation Assn. President, Indoor Soccer of Carlsbad DANNY SHERLOCK Executive Director Carlsbad Boys and Girls Club ANN J. KULCHIN Councilwoman City of Carlsbad JOHN J. MAMAUX Candidate for City Council REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION H Proposition H ignores the fact that with completion of construction at Stagecoach and Calavera Hills Parks the City will meet the standards set for parks and recreation fields. Proposition H wants development of Macario Canyon now — when there are no roads or utilities servicing the site. This does not make good economic sense. The City has a Master Plan for Macario Canyon and the park will be developed when more immediate park needs are satisfied. To use existing funds for this development would deprive Carlsbad citizens of park development nearer their homes. VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION H. JAMES M. POPOVICH CATHY REGAN BARBARA B. DONOVAN MARJORIE A. MORRISON ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION H VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION H Development of Macario Canyon is premature and would be an unwise investment of city funds at this time. There are many obstacles to improving the canyon; there are no roads or utilities into the area; there are significant environmental concerns which must be resolved before development can occur. The total cost of building the proposed roads, utilities, ballfields and gymnasium is estimated to be between $5.6 million and $7.1 million, not the $3.5 million indicated in the petition. Even if the project could be approved as proposed, it would take more than two years to complete. This 300 acre canyon was acquired by the City in 1981 for future development. A master plan study done in 1982 suggested a 15 year development program. In 1984, the City leased the land to a farmer as a way of saving money until development is timely. The City does not need Macario Canyon Park at this time. The City has a program to spend available funds to build park and recreation facilities in areas close to existing housing such as Calavera Hills and La Costa. If Macario Canyon is developed ahead of schedule, it means that other needed projects will be delayed for years or a bond issue will be needed. If we wait and follow the City park plan, then developers fees and private funding sources will be used. VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION H for good park planning and wise use of City funds. CLAUDE A.
