Voter Information!
District Boundaries Changed by 2000 Census
The district boundary lines for U.S. Congress, State Senate, State Assembly,
County Board of Supervisors, County Board of Education, San Diego City
Council, San Diego Community College and other local districts were changed
following the 2000 census to achieve a more equal balance of representation.
With these changes, you may now reside in different districts, have new
representation or have a new polling place.
If you need further information, please call 858-565-5800 or 1-800-696-0136.
Procedure To "Clean Up" The Voter Rolls
To keep the roster of registered voters as accurate as possible and reduce
election costs, the San Diego County Registrar of Voters will be using a
procedure - known as "Alternate Residency Confirmation" - that permits
removal from the active voter roll the names of those registered voters who
have NOT voted in any election nor had their registration updated in the
preceding four (4) years.
Following the November 5, 2002 General Election, registered voters who have
not voted nor had their registrations updated during the last four (4) years will
be mailed a postcard notice to confirm their residency. The pre-addressed
return postage-paid card MUST BE RETURNED to the Registrar of Voters by
the registered voter should he or she wish to remain on the active voter roll.
If the card is not returned in 15 days, or is returned by the postal service as
undeliverable, the voter's registration will be moved to the inactive voter roll.
Registrants on the inactive voter roll are not sent election materials - saving
taxpayer dollars - and may be required to show proof of current residency in
order to vote in future elections.
This notice is a legal prerequisite to using the "Alternate Residency
Confirmation" procedure (California Elections Code Section 2224c).
INSTRUCTIONS - VOTING AT THE POLLS
STEP 1. PUT BALLOT IN DEVICE
Insert ballot card until slots fit over the two red-tipped posts on the device. Make sure the
ballot card REMAINS secured in this position until you finish voting.
STEP 2. VOTE YOUR BALLOT
To cast a vote for a candidate or measure, place the punch stylus into the hole located
directly to the right of your selection. Using a straight, downward motion push the stylus
completely through the hole until it stops.

241 NO -* O
To continue voting, turn each page in the device until you have completed all of your ballot.
Dp not use a pen, pencil or other implement except the provided punch stylus. Do not
mark or deface the voting pages in the device. If you make a mistake, return the ballot
card to the precinct officer to obtain another. Do not put any distinguishing marks on your
ballot (i.e. your name, initials, signature, etc.). This will void your ballot.
Note: TO CAST A WRITE-IN VOTE, write the candidate's NAME, their political PARTY
(unless it is for a local nonpartisan office) and OFFICE in the space designated on the
upper portion of the ballot card.
STEP 3. REMOVE AND INSPECT YOUR BALLOT
When finished voting, lift the ballot card off the posts and withdraw it from the voting device.
Turn ballot over and carefully inspect the back. Remove any punchouts that did not get
completely detached.
STEP 4. RETURN VOTED BALLOT TO PRECINCT OFFICER
Detach and keep top stub of ballot card. This serves as your receipt for voting. To ensure
secrecy, fold ballot over at the perforation line. Return ballot and voting device to the
precinct officer.
SAVE DUPLICATE MAILING NOTICE SAVE
If a voter receives more than one sample ballot, name is misspelled, if the voter has moved from
this address or is deceased, please call the Registrar of Voters at: 858-565-5800 or toll free 1 -800-696-0136. This phone call will improve the accuracy of Voter Registration records and save
taxpayer dollars by reducing printing and mailing costs.

I'm married with two children, ages 9 and 10. I have a BA degree in Economics from SDSU and
a MBA from Cal-State Dominguez Hills. I'm a VP with Sun Trust Mortgage. I'm running for my first
political office because I love my children and want a better world for them. I have accepted no
endorsements or contributions from any special interest group and therefore am not beholden
to anyone.
I support our right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the Declaration of
Independence. I believe in personal freedom and economic freedom. All individuals have the right
to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they
choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others. If elected, these
are the principals that I will follow.
The government takes too much! Since the last election four years ago our state revenues have
increased $50 billion and yet our legislators want even more taxes. That's $50 billion of YOUR
money. Where did it go?
As your state senator I will work for you to keep both your freedoms and your paycheck.

KRISTI STONE Age: 37
Business Owner, Entrepreneur
Kristi Stone - a dedicated mother and entrepreneur. I am running for State Assembly because
I want a free, personally responsible society for my daughter. I believe in less government, more
personal responsibility and solutions for our community issues. I bring to the table years of
business and executive management experience. My principles of conservative fiscal policies
combined with protections for personal freedoms make me a unique candidate to serve you - a
bridge candidate.
Too often we expect the government to solve our problems. One size fits all government-solutions
don't work. They make our budget deficit worse and government bigger. Rather than growing
more poorly-run state programs, I will promote choice through free market solutions and
encourage more personal responsibility. I will work to reduce the role of government in our lives
by enacting parental school choice, promoting privately run/funded charities, and eliminating
oppressive regulations and anti self-protection laws. Our government will continue to grow unless
we stop giving career politicians the power and the government control over our lives. WE THE
PEOPLE must take back the responsibility for our lives and our communities.
As, your assemblywoman, I will vote for and propose legislation that will... Move us Toward
Smaller Government. . . . Expect more Personal responsibility. . . . Promote Non-Government
Solutions.
I will vote against legislation that will... Raise our Taxes.... Limit our Freedoms.... Regulate
our Enterprises.
Let's celebrate and live freedom through personal responsibility and a little TLC - Truth, Love,

Palomar College is an excellent college. Working together, we can make it outstanding.
A good school trustee works courteously and productively with fellow trustees, faculty,
administrators, classified employees, students, and the public. A good trustee has no agenda
except the improvement of the educational program, and maintaining modern educational facilities
and long-term financial stability, which are necessary to support the educational program.
During my 19 years as a Palomar College trustee, I have attended dozens of workshops at which
trustees and professional educators have discussed innovations which Palomar College can use
to improve student learning.
We are expanding our networks of community college leaders to enhance state funding, and to
work together on cooperative projects. I am vice-president of the Inland Valley Trustee and C.E.O.
Association, a group of 12 community colleges in southern California colleges. We are gaining
in credibility with the legislature.
As a former parttime faculty member at Palomar College from 1975 to 1983, I believe I understand

Having lived in Carlsbad for more than 20 years, I am very concerned about the quality of life in
Carlsbad. Politicians tout their development of and adherence to the Growth Management Plan
in maintaining the quality of life in Carlsbad: Is our quality of life being preserved? Carlsbad needs
an individual who will enforce the spirit of the Growth management plan and truly preserve the
quality of life in Carlsbad. I will.
A conservative philosophy is what is needed in the future development of Carlsbad. Focusing
on the needs and concerns of local residences, I will work to insure that these concerns are not
subjugated to outside special interest influences. The future is going to need a strong individual
without political debts who can make difficult decisions necessary to protect the integrity of
Carlsbad.
Long-term politicians often forget who they serve. IT IS TIME! The citizens and local business
interests should come first not political contributors or considerations. Every decision should
benefit and not impact the citizens of Carlsbad.

Carlsbad has grown rapidly in size and population. The City Council is no longer responsive to
citizen and neighborhood control. Council members take office with less than a majority vote after
citywide elections too reliant on money and special interests. I support an expanded Council and
Council districting to resolve these problems.
I support review of the City's master plans and development that enhances quality of life and
protects our environment.
I oppose repeal of Proposition H which limits Council authority to approve projects over $1 million
without citizen approval. Without ballot oversight, projects could be foisted on the taxpayer that
reflect Council favoritism and special interests.
I am a businessman arid president of Educational Resource Associates, the founding chairman

OFELIA E. ESCOBEDO
Businesswoman - Lola's Mkt/Deli
Arriving in Carlsbad in 1947,1 have seen the explosive growth that our city has experienced. While
that growth has given us many benefits, our management of that growth is still a major issue. I
want to protect our quality of life in our fine city by taking a "hands on" approach to our traffic
problems, water issues, housing, education and safety.
I am a business person and have a keen interest in the success of Carlsbad. We should attempt
to reach a healthy balance between growth and maintaining the quaintness that Carlsbad offers
and that we all enjoy. Keeping our city safe with top quality police and fire departments, having
available housing for all our residents, maintaining an atmosphere where business can thrive,
providing an environment where our children are well-educated, and being able to keep and
protect the natural beauty of our beaches and open space - these are the focal points of my
campaign and my commitment to all citizens of Carlsbad when elected.
My experience as a business person, civic volunteer and long-time resident make me uniquely
qualified for the City Council. I will appreciate your confidence and vote in November

City Clerk
LORRAINE M. WOOD
City Clerk, City of Carlsbad
It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve you and the City of Carlsbad for the past three
years as Deputy City Clerk, and then as appointed City Clerk. Under my guidance the City Clerk's
Office has provided fast, efficient and courteous service to Carlsbad's citizens. We have also
implemented some important changes in how the City Clerk's Office serves you.
First we launched the Document Management system. This system allows citizens to access
agenda bills, council meeting minutes, property records and many other important city
documents. Maintaining and improving the accessibility of public records is a primary goal of this
office, one I take very seriously.
Another accomplishment is working as a team member on the Carlsbad Citizens' Academy. The
Citizens' Academy is a 7-week course provided to the public on the operation and management
of the City of Carlsbad. Approximately 130 citizens have graduated from the course and the waiting
list of attendees is growing.
Finally, I was designated as a Certified Municipal Clerk by the International Institute of Municipal
Clerks in February 2002.
I will continue to serve you and the City of Carlsbad with all my energy and enthusiasm.
Remember on November 5: "Wood is Good for Carlsbad"!

City Treasurer
JAMES "JIM" STANTON Age: 70
Carlsbad City Treasurer
Professor of Accounting
It has been my privilege being your Treasurer for twelve years. I again ask for your support.
Significant financial changes have occurred since first being elected in 1990. Strong revenue
receipts, disciplined budgets, and prudent investments have contributed to increase Carlsbad's
investment portfolio from $75,000,000 to over $400,000,000.
As City Treasurer I manage all cash for the City and its agencies. Among other activities, this
includes personally making all investments. Reports of investments are made monthly to City
Council and are reviewed quarterly by an advisory committee. Carlsbad's investments have
consistently outperformed investments made by the State of California and the County of San
Diego. Cash and investments managed by the City Treasurer have grown so they now represent
52% of the total assets reported by the City and its agencies, an increase from 31% twelve years
ago.
Carlsbad is fiscally the strongest city in the county. My management of the cash and investments
is but a small part of the City, but without strong cash flows and prudent investments, many
amenities we enjoy in Carlsbad would not be possible.
The financial position of Carlsbad will grow in importance. My experience will ensure continued
sound management and high professional standards.

CITY OF CARLSBAD
Proposition B
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
fvf%/>\f% i"»
HHOP HI I I\SI &•/
Shall the expenditure limitation set forth in Carlsbad
Municipa' c°de Chapter 1.24 (Proposition H, adopted
1982) be repealed?
This proposition requires approval by a simple majority (50% plus one vote) of the voters to pass.
CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
THE WAY IT IS NOW: Existing federal, state or local law requires that each acquisition of real
property or capital improvement project go through an extensive budgeting and approval process.
Depending on the nature of the acquisition or project, it can be paid for from special funds, general
funds, or a combination of both. Special funds are generated from special taxes or development
fees, which can only be used for the purpose for which they were imposed. General funds are
generated from general taxes or general fees, which can be used for any municipal purpose. Most
acquisitions of real property or capital improvement projects are paid for from special funds.
However, the acquisition of real property or a capital improvement project requiring the
expenditure of over $1 million in general funds is subject to Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 1.24, which-requires a majority vote of the citizens:
"The City of Carlsbad shall make no real property acquisition and/or no improvement
to real property the cost of which exceeds $1 million in City funds, unless the
proposed acquisition and/or improvement project and the cost in City funds is first
placed upon the ballot and approved by a majority of the voters voting thereon at an
election. A project may not be separated into parts or phases so as to avoid the
effects of this chapter."
This chapter 1.24 was adopted by initiative vote of the citizens in 1982 and cannot be repealed
except by another vote of the citizens.
THE PROPOSAL: Proposition B would repeal Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.24. If repealed,
capital improvement projects or acquisition of real property requiring the expenditure of more than
$1 million in general funds would not require a ballot measure and approval by a majority of voters.
Proposition B would not affect any other existing budgeting and approval processes required by
federal, state and local law.
A "YES" VOTE MEANS: If you vote "yes", you wish to repeal Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 1.24, which requires a majority vote of the citizens for an expenditure of general
funds over $1 million for real property acquisitions or capital improvement projects.
A "NO" VOTE MEANS: If you vote "no", you do not wish to repeal Carlsbad Municipal Code
Chapter 1.24 and the voter approval requirement will remain in place.
HOW PROPOSITION "B" GOT ON A BALLOT.
At its meeting of August 6, 2002, the City Council voted to place Proposition B before the voters to
decide whether or not Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.24 should be repealed.
FISCAL IMPACT: Proposition B would repeal Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.24 removing
the expenditure limitation on the acquisition of real property or capital improvement projects the
cost of which is over $1 million in general fund monies. It does not authorize the expenditures
themselves, does not generate any funds and does not increase any taxes, fees or assessments.
CS-49LO-2 SO 544-032 PR-09AO-1 SD 544-033
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION B
During the last 20 years, the Prop H limitation on City expenditures in the Municipal Code has
slowed the City's ability to serve the best interest of our residents. Needed park and road projects
have waited for developers for funding while our residents were shorted in athletic fields and
endured traffic congestion. Rather than having the use of additional facilities that would serve the
community, residents have waited for ballot measures to be crafted and placed before the voters
before action could be taken.
A REPEAL OF CHAPTER 1.24 WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO USE SAVINGS TO BUILD
FACILITIES SOONER AND BE PAID BACK AS DEVELOPER FEES ARE COLLECTED.
B. REPEALING CHAPTER 1.24 WOULD PROVIDE MORE FACILITIES SOONER WITH NO
INCREASE IN TAXES OR ASSESSMENTS.
C. PUBLIC HEARINGS WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED.
Reserve funds from conservative fiscal management are now available to build parks and roads
sooner if Chapter 1.24 is repealed. This can be done while continuing to require growth to pay its
own way.
The Growth Management Plan (GMP) requires developers, not existing residents and businesses,
to pay for new facilities such as parks, playfields, libiaries and roads. Unfortunately, the money is
not collected from developers until development occurs. This means that the construction of
facilities may lag behind need.
Chapter 1.24, adopted in 1982, is obsolete and outdated. Since then the voters have approved the
GMP, and long-range capital improvement plans have been created to guide development of new
facilities.
A YES VOTE ON THIS MEASURE IS AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE OF CARLSBAD.
We urge you to vote YES on Proposition B.

REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION B
VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION B
In 1982 the citizens of Carlsbad wisely established, through Prop H, a level of control over city
spending that has helped keep Carlsbad fiscally healthy even though our state and federal
governments have gone through very difficult times. Now the City Council wants to remove all
controls.
PROTECT THE TAXPAYERS!
Expenditure Limitation law paved the way for Carlsbad's very effective Growth Management Plan
(GMP). This has forced the city to find funding from other sources like developers and builders.
The Expenditure Limitation has created budget surpluses for the City of Carlsbad while other
surrounding cities have been running huge deficits. Which made Carlsbad the envy of other cities.
PROTECT THE OPEN SPACES!
Taking away the expenditure limitation would give a green light to those politicians who wish to
develop the open spaces in Carlsbad by allowing them to spend on construction and
development. This would limit the requirement under the Growth Management Plan to be
reimbursed by the developers. IL will shift the burden from developers, who profit from this
development, to us-the taxpayers.
POLITICIANS BENEFIT! NOT US!
Proposition B could limit the need for developer reimbursement under the Growth Management
Plan. It will shift the burden from developers to us-the citizens/taxpayers. Prop B will allow
politicians to spend millions of dollars of your money without voter approval.
Proposition B could allow politicians to spend, spend, spend which will eventually mean higher
taxes in Carlsbad.
Stop this runaway government spending, VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION B!

ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION B
DON'T RAISE THE SPENDING LIMITS!
"LET'S SUPPORT THE SPENDING LIMITATION
The limit on city government is a very reasonable method of providing some control over the
politicians' natural tendency to "tax-tax, spend-spend." Our city council claims that they can't live
with such limitations—that more is always needed. We must not let them con us into more
spending, which always results in higher taxes.
*THE POLITICIANS NEED OUR HELP
Apparently our city council haven't the backbone to tell the special interest groups that there is
some limit as to how much the taxpayers will pay. Thus these politicians need our "backbone" in
the form of the limitations so that they can tell each group that there is not an infinite amount of
taxpayer money available to dole out.
* WE LIVE WITHIN OUR BUDGETS, THE CITY CAN DO THE SAME
**Please read a portion of the original Limitation's Purpose and Intent
1,24-Purpose and Intent
"The acquisition and/or deve/opment of real estate by the city has profound financial impacts upon
the budget of the city and upon the tax burden imposed upon the taxpayers.
It is the intent of this chapter to provide the citizens and taxpayers of Carlsbad with an opportunity to
express directly their preference by vote prior to major city expenditures for the purchase or
development of land
It is not the intent of this chapter to interfere with the normal day-to-day administration of the city or
with routine ongoing capital expenditures."
*CONTROL GOVERNMENT SPENDING
The Carlsbad Municipal code was passed because politicians cannot be trusted to control
spending themselves. Their attempts to overturn this limitation only prove that we were right all
along.
Carlsbad is the Greatest City in California! Lets keep it that way.
VOTE AGAINST CHANGING CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE 1.24.
VOTE NO ON B.
REBUTTAL TO THE ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION B
Historically, the City of Carlsbad has done a great job of building a strong revenue base to support
services needed by the community. City budgets have always been balanced. In fact surplus funds
have been accumulated over the years and are available to accelerate building of needed facilities.
The City's sound financial condition is proof that spending has never been out of control. The
people have always had a say in what is needed in Carlsbad, especially since the adoption of the
Growth Management Plan (GMP) in 1986.
The voters have already spoken when they adopted the GMP.
• Proposition B is not a new tax.
• Proposition B will allow the use of funds that already exist.
• Growth will still pay its own way.
• Needed facilities can be built sooner.
• Proposition B will not increase taxes.
The public will continue to have a strong say in the construction of new city facilities. Numerous
public hearings are required before any project is approved. Law requires an environmental
review.
Vote YES on Proposition B to make Carlsbad an even better place to live.

Proposition C
(This proposition will appear on the ballot in the following form.)
nn f\ f% f* Do the voters of the City of Carlsbad approve spending
LJUflU 1^ city funds from various sources including the General
' ' •"• " Fund in an amount over $1 million to construct capital
facilities including a swimming pool complex, trails linkages and open space,
a City/Safety Training Facility and a portion of Cannon Road, east of College
(Reach 4)?
This Proposition requires approval by a simple majority (50% plus one vote) of the voters to pass.
CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS
THE WAY IT IS NOW: Existing federal, state or local law requires that each real property
acquisition or capital improvement project go through an extensive budgeting and approval
process. Depending on the nature of the acquisition or project, it can be financed by special funds,
general funds, or a combination of both. Special funds are generated from special taxes or
development fees, which can only be used for the purpose for which they were imposed. General
funds are generated from general taxes or general fees, which can be used for any municipal
purpose. Most real property acquisitions or capital improvement projects are paid for from special
funds. However, real property acquisitions or capital improvement projects requiring the
expenditure of over $1 million from general funds are subject to Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 1.24, which requires a majority vote of the citizens for such expenditures.
THE PROPOSAL: The Proposal seeks voter approval under Carlsbad Municipal
Code Chapter 1.24 for the expenditure of general funds over $1 million to finance or help finance
the construction of:
• A swimming pool complex;
• Trails linkages and open space;
• A City/Safety Training Facility;
• A portion of Cannon Road, east of College (Reach 4).
If approved by a majority vote, the City Council may authorize the expenditure of over $1 million
from general funds for the development of each of these projects. A majority vote does not require
this expenditure but instead, authorizes the City Council to use this source of funds for these
projects.
If Proposition B, which also appears on this ballot, is approved, then the City Council would have
authority to spend general funds in excess of $1 million on the specified projects, regardless of the
outcome of Proposition C. If Proposition B is not approved, then the City Council would not have
the authority to spend general funds in excess of $1 million on the specified projects, unless this
Proposition C is approved by the voters.
A "YES" VOTE MEANS: If you vote "yes", you wish to authorize the City Council to approve
spending general funds in an amount over $1 million to finance or help finance the specified
projects.
A "NO" VOTE MEANS: If you vote "no", you do not wish to authorize the City Council to approve
spending general funds in an amount over $1 million to finance or help finance the specified
projects.
HOW PROPOSITION "C" GOT ON A BALLOT.
At its August 6, 2002 meeting, the City Council voted to place Proposition C before the voters to
decide whether general funds in excess of $1 million should be used to finance or help finance the
specified projects.
FISCAL IMPACT: Proposition C does not require the expenditure of general funds but instead
authorizes the City Council to use general funds in excess of $1 million to finance or help finance
the specified projects. These specified projects have not been designed and their exact costs will
be determined during the design, permitting, budgeting and public hearing processes.
PR-09AO-6 SD 544-038
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION C
THIS PROPOSITION CREATES NO NEW TAXES. IT ALLOWS THE
CITY TO USE THE TAXES ALREADY RECEIVED IN A WAY THAT
BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY.
The Growth Management Plan (GMP) requires developers, not existing residents and businesses,
to pay for new facilities such as parks and roads. Unfortunately the money is not collected from
developers until development occurs. This means that the construction of facilities may lag behind
need. This proposition allows the City to advance funding for certain projects ahead of developer
funding, and invest additional tax revenues to enhance public benefit or construct projects that
would not be a developer responsibility.
A YES vote on Proposition C will provide money for the following projects:
• SWIMMING POOL COMPLEX - a second swimming pool is needed now. Additional funds
must be allocated to create a facility that will serve the needs of our community. A YES vote
allows the City to allocate additional funds to this project.
• TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE - Carlsbad residents have repeatedly said that creating trails
and preserving open space is their top priority. A YES vote will provide funding for both trail
linkages and open space acquisition projects.
• SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY - The City's police officers and firefighters must constantly
train to maintain a high degree of readiness. A YES vote will provide funding to build a
facility to train our safety forces, and upgrade existing facilities and programs.
• CANNON ROAD EAST OF COLLEGE.^ This section of Cannon Road is needed to connect
Cannon Road from Carlsbad to Oceanside. This will take traffic congestion off College
Avenue in northeast Carlsbad and El Camino Real near Highway 78. A YES vote will provide
money to complete this project.
We urge you to vote YES on Proposition C.
