Carlsbad City Incorporation which led to City's assump- tion .of Calavera Lake. 1958 Carlsbad [later Revenue Bonds ($767,000 maturing 1988) issued as per Revenue Bond Law of 1941, CP.0. recommended that Calavera Lake be the'site of one of 38 County regional parks. Letter from Carlsbad City Manager to County Public Works Administrator urged early development of Calavera "Lake to serve existing regional recreation needs. County Project Manager v/as designated. Project Manager submitted to City Manager a .list of specifications for proposed 50 year lease with option to buy for One Dollar after bond maturity date in 1988. After several discussions, Project Manager submitted a revised base proposal providing for 30 year lease -.- (minimum to qualify for State or Federal grants for\ acquisition and/or development) with 7 options to renew for 10 years each with option to buy on or after 1/1/89, copy attached). Internal problems arose at City level and acquisition process appeared to have been inmeshed in political, disagreement. Acquisition matter, at request of City Manager, became dormant-pending quieter times. Carlsbad City Council endorsed the Regional Park Imple- mentation Study concepts for Carlsbad area regional parks urging priority be given to acquisition. Board of Supervisors accepted the Regional Park Implemen- tation Study .which classified Calavera Regional Park as a Target '78 project and instructed staff to study means of implementation. Overt efforts to merge City Water Services into C.M.W.D. emerge further complicating City-County negotiations. -2- ^ . 5/18/72 1/23/73 4/10/73 5/16/73 5/21/73 7/2/73 7/11/73 7/18/73 7/25/74 County Administrator submitted to City Manager Arnold a "meaningful package" which contained reports regarding the cost of extension of College and Cannon Roads through the proposed- park area, private owner participa- tion, and City involvement.

San Diego County Board of Supervisors 1600 Pacific Highway ^ San Diego, California 92101 — .-ti Dear Chairman Walsh: As you know, San Diego County has planned three large regional parks within our General Plan Area - Bataquitos Lagoon, Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Lake Calavera.. Unfortunately, to date yo.u do not have an implementation program. Acquisition or non- acquisition of these regional parks by the county will have a significant impact on our General Plan Revision which is now underway, as well as our anticipated program of-capital improvements. At- our regular City Council meeting of January 16, 1973, the City Council unanimously voted to consider the feasibility of a joint exercise of powers agreement between San Diego County and the City of Carlsbad to provide an implementation pro-, gram for the regional parks located in Carlsbad. We are also v/illing to consider lease and incremental sale of Lake Calavera to the county or other means of joint effort that would result in a feasible par k ' inipl ementati on program by the county. We desire to -assist' the county as best we can in its regional park program. May we request that the Board instruct county staff to work with our staff to determine if some implementation program can be developed this year. Si ncerely, DAVID M. DUiNME Mayor DUD:vs cc: Supervisor Craven fir. Bobertz.

SUDSTAriCE OF • PRESENTATICu' TO CARLSBAD CITY COUHCIL 7/17/73 Mayor Dunne & Members of the City Council My name is Jim Tennant and I am here as a representative of the Board of Supervisors in the matter of pending devolcppent encroachment at Calavera Regional Park as conceptually shewn in the Regional Park Implementation Study, a copy of which I have here. On behalf of the Board of Supervisors Chai rman Walsh and the other Supervisors I bring you their greetings as well as their thanks for this opportunity to appear before you tonight. •. The purposes of my appearance here are as setforth in our letter of July 3, 1973, to Mayor Dunne. They are: • 1. To offer you an opportunity to hear a tape recording of the Board's discus- sion" June 26, of the matter of the "development encroachment" into the proposed Calavera Lake Regional Park. The tape, I believe, can clear up some possible misconceptions resulting frcm news articles relative to a staff recommendation not acted upon by the Board, 2, To advise the Council of the problems the Board is having .and to point _ • . , . out the deveicprr;2nt which is about to happen. 3. To inquire if you as the City Council, would like to meet jointly with the Board of Supervisors and if you are willing to consider, and I repeat consider, some share to match the County in view' of the urgent need to proceed with the acquisition of land that will otherwise soon be developed as housing, and 4, To respond in part to Mayor Dunne's letter of January 23. 1973, to Mr. Jack Walsh, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors,.relative to possible, means for implementing the various proposed regional parks which are of immediate concern " to you, particularly Calavera Lake Regional Park. As you know, the first 3 purposes enumerated above were taken to the City Council in Oceanside last Wednesday evening. The results are a matter of public knowledge In the spring of 1972 when the Regional Park Im;plementation Study was presented to the City Councils in the County, all the Councils seemed favorably inclined, but urged that emphasis would be placed on acquisition of land with available funds. Such was the position taken by Oceanside's City Council, and, as I recall, this" Council concurred. •/o . '.The November 1972 General Election Ballot carried a $20 million Park Bond Issue proposition to provide for acquisition and initial development of the Target 78 parks which include Calavera, Agua Hedionda and Batiquitos Lagoons. ' More than $9 million of that Bond Issue were committed to projects in this supervisorial district, with some $1.5 to 2 million for initial Calavera acquisition. The Bond Issue failed, and the Board of Supervisors, having accepted the R.P.I.S. involving seme 3 dozen regional parks to be acouired and develop-^d faces great difficulty in trying to realize these facilities.' ' The Board recognizes that you have very similar problems. Then along came General Revenue Sharing, the'Vure''for many problems. Along with this new source of income came the outstretched hands and the multitude of proposals for the use of far more'money than the amount made available. These things aren't news to you. .You understand the problem only too well. Kow in the matter of the development encroachment on the proposed Calavera Lake Regional Park. I have here for your information and use 2 pertinent pages from the R.P.I.S. (pass 'em out). One page is the schematic concept for Calavera. The areas outlined in black .and numbered 2,3, &.4 are those on which the Oceanside Planning Commission- approved a development plan and zone change. Parcel 1 has already been lost to a housing development and preliminary planning is undenvay on Parcel 5. The latter, however, may yet provide time for coordi-' nated planning. As you can see. the proposed development rem.oves much of the usable area from the park's concept. (Explain sheet -2} If you wish, I will play the tape of the Board's discussion which is right here. It runs for 7 or 8 minutes. County staff is pleased and grateful for the opportunity to work closely with your staff in coordinating park planning with City planning. Now, let's consider for the moment the City property which contains Calavera Lake and Mayor Dunne's letter to Mr. Walsh. The County has engaged the firm of Cornell. Bridgers, Troller and Hazlett to do a Master Plan Study andReport for Calavera. Only the County of Los Angeles is legally empowered to enter into Joint Powers pacts for acquisition and development of regional parks. The County does have access to an already formulated non-profit corporation for the same purpose, and legislation will be introduced in Sacramiento-to give to this County the same authority as L.A. County. County staff is now ready to pursue with your staff the possibility of purchase of the Calavera property over a 10 year period as Mayor Dunne's letter proposed. The Board of Supervisors has included Calavera acquisition in its revenue -sharing discussions in the near future. • , In conclusion, and on behalf of the Board of Supervisors I respectfully submit to you the following questions: - • 1. Are you'willing to or do you desire to meet jointly with the Board of Super- visors to discuss Calavera Lake Regional Park problems? 2. Are you willing to consider the possibility of joining with the County in the acquisition of lands in the area in which housing development appears im.minent? If you answer to either of these questions is yes, we will welcome the opportunity to work with your staff and Mayor to make the necessary arrangements. And with your consent we will meet with your staff to identify the details of a • transaction for Calavera Lake property subject to the necessary approvals. Thank you for your interest and your courtesy. If you have any questions . Gentlemen, I am at your disposal.'

ECKEMATiC CON'CEPT STUOY July 26. 1973 Honorable David M. Dunne ^ ' ' " . . hayor, City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, California ' 9200S Dear Mayor Dunne: • . • . At the regular meeting of the Q-WID Citizens Advisory Committee, July 19. 1973, the members present were unanimously opposed to th'^ proposal of the San Diego Board of Supervisors for'the'City of Carlsbad to participate in the purchase of approximately 250 acres adjacent to the .City Water Department property comjr;only referred to_ as Lake Calavera. -. The water consumers of the City Water Department service area are paying bond debt service charges cn the average of 5180,000.00 yearly, which is a big factor in the studies now being conducted by this .CoiiTTiittee. Therefor it was deemed to be incuraent'upon this Committee to recommend a consensus of. alternative actions that should be taken by the City Council regarding the Lake Calavera property. . . For several years this property has been held in an unuseable condition at the expense of the City service area water consum.ers, while the San uiego County' Board of Supervisors have failed to take any positive action to purchase"it for park purposes, Tf past performarxe can be used as a criteria, no positive action will 'be taken by the County so long as the water consumers of the.City of Carlsbad will continue to pay $180,000.00 per year to hold this property for the County; .' ." Consequently, this Committee submits the following alternatives and time schedules that we believe to be fair and equitable for City Council action: 1. The entire 257 acres be offered to the County of San Diego for outright purchase at fair market value. Such purchase agreement to be executed by December 31, 1973 and concluded by June 30, 1974. 2. The County of San Diego enter into a Lease-Purchase"Agreement at full fair market value, with payments to be no less than SI85.000 per year with combined principal and interest plus legal reserves, requi reinents as set forth in our outstanding water works bond issues.' Payment dates tobe arranged so as tomeet the bond redemption pay- ment dates. , 3. The County of San Diego enter into an. option to purchase acreem;ent for a yearly option fee, not to be applied to the purchase price,, sufficient to pay all interest plus legal reserve requirements of our outstanding water\-;orks revenue bonds. - - Honorable D. H, Dunne . July 25, 1973 In the event the County of San Diego fails to enter into one of the alternative purchase agreements by Lacenber 31. 1973, the City Council of Carlsbad, et their first regular meeting in January, 1974, call for bids for tfie Lake Calavera property on each of the fol.lcwing alternatives: 1. Land Lease of approximately 157 acres for residential develcpm,ent at a minimum yearly lease fee of S200,C00.G0 for a m.inimum oeriod of 30 years. Such land lease to incur at least lake shoreline development by the lessee for pubiic'park purposes. The approxim.ately 100 acres retained for park purposes to be adjacent to-and include the lake area. 2. The outright sale of the entire 257 acre property at fair market value for residential developmient. . • 'f •'' • It is further the consensus of this Com.mittee that all revenues received shall be ear-marked by Ordinance to first be used to pay principal and interest of our V-aterworks Revenue Bonds and. all revenues in excess of " those requirements be used for necessary replacement at such, time as required of antiquated or worn out existing-'capital distribution and storage .facilities within the City service area. Again we iterate the water consumers of the City service area of Carlsbad are being penalized at en average of $180,000.00 per year to subsidize the .County of San Diego Regional Park program until some positive•action is taken by the City Council, to dispose of this presently unuseable • property.
