Of the total encumbered amount, the City has disbursed $1,310,995 from the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee fund in accordance with conditions and requirements established through the letters of agreement signed by the Mayor and grant recipients. Of the 13 projects, funding encumbrances for four projects have been fully expended for project impleme·ntation. A summary breakdown of funding encumbrance and disbursement totals for approved grant projects has been attached to this report as Exhibit 1. Additionally attached to this report are select status updates on individual projects (Exhibit 2), which staff requested all grant recipients prepare and submit. At the time of preparation of this report, staff had not received a status update from the grantee of the Audubon Nature Center project (AGP 06-02). With the exception of the status update on the Carlsbad Beach Nourishment project dated June 17, 2008, staff has not had the opportunity to review and verify the accuracy of information contained within individual status updates provided by grantees. To supplement the information provided by individual grantees, staff provides the following project status information: AGP 06-02-Audubon Nature Center All $15,000 of awarded grant funds were disbursed in December 2007 to the Buena Vista Audubon Society for project implementation. AGP 06-03-Batiguitos Lagoon Foundation Nature Center Improvements $88,000 of the encumbered $180,732 was disbursed to the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation in May 2008 for project implementation. $92,732 of encumbered funding remains available for disbursement to the grantee for project implementation. AGP 06-04-Buena Vista Lagoon Boardwalk None of the $164,000 has been disbursed to the Buena Vista Lagoon Foundation for project implementation. AGP 06-05-Cymbidium Project $310,500 of the encumbered $316,500 was disbursed to CB Ranch Enterprises in August 2007 for project implementation. $6,000 of encumbered funding remains available for disbursement to the grantee for project implementation. AGP 06-06-Multi-Use Barn All $230,000 encumbered for this project was disbursed to CB Ranch Enterprises in October 2007 for project implementation. AGP 06-07-Permeable Paving Project All $297,000 of awarded grant funds were disbursed to CB Ranch Enterprises in July 2007 for project implementation. AGP 06-08-Drainage Improvements Project All $230,000 of the grant monies awarded for this project have been disbursed to the grantee in August 2007 for project implementation. AGP 06-09-Soil Amendment Project $39,000 of the encumbered $159,000 was disbursed to the CB Ranch Enterprises in July 2007 for implementation of Year 1 soil amendments, which are part of the approved five-year program. $120,000 of encumbered funding remains available for disbursement to the grantee for implementation of soil amendments for years 2 through 5. AGP 06-10-Carlsbad Beach Nourishment Per City Council Resolution No. 2007-288, the City Council approved two specific actions. The first was to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with· SANDAG agreeing to fund the city's share of the preliminary engineering and environmental assessment for the next Regional Beach Sand Project. Accordingly, the City Council authorized the use of $74,500 from the approved $1,500,000 in Agriculture Conversion Mitigation Funds. The second action was to include SANDAG as a regional partner to the Agriculture Conversion Mitigation Fee Program for the Carlsbad Beach Nourishment Project. This partnership was recommended since it was determined to be economically beneficial to join the region-wide beach nourishment effort rather than continue to pursue the Carlsbad Beach Nourishment Project as a local project only, which was originally reviewed and recommended for approval by the Committee. In June 2008, the city disbursed $74,500 to SANDAG on behalf of the City of Carlsbad leaving a grant fund balance of $1,425,500 for future project tasks. In addition to the information provided within the attached June 17, 2008 memo, staff notes SANDAG representatives have utilized funds to sign a contract with the consultant firm of Moffatt and Nichols Engineers. The first phase includes the preparation of a preliminary engineering study, preliminary environmental review and a preliminary evaluation of a sand retention reef. Moffatt and Nichols is expected to complete the preliminary studies in early 2009. After completion of these tasks, SAN DAG and the City will be more capable of assessing future funding project costs and respective prorated share for Carlsbad. Tentative scheduling of subsequent pre-construction tasks includes an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), securing resource agency approvals, and the preparation of a final engineering plans and construction bid documents. The next Regional Beach Sand Project is expected to be implemented in 2010/2011. AGP 06-12-Batiquitos Lagoon Monitoring/Management Plan $780,589 has been encumbered from the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee fund with a stipulation that the City only release $74,995 to fund the following two Monitoring and Management Plan Program activities: 1) collect and report on bathymetric and tidal data; and, 2) implement maintenance activities (e.g., plant removal and restoration) over a six year period. In February 2008 Council deferred funding the remaining balance of the grantee's request ($705,594) for approximately nine months, with anticipation of achieving the following objectives during that time period: • Identify the California Department of Fish and Game's (DFG's) stewardship responsibilities and capabilities; • Assess the current health of the lagoon; and, • Possibly identify any needed actions. If the above-listed objectives are not achieved within that time frame which is scheduled to lapse around the time period of November 19, 2008, funding may be awarded, reprogrammed or deferred again after review and recommendation by the Committee, if necessary, and after determination by City Council. Of the $74,995 of encumbered/approved funding earmarked to implement the first phase of the project, only $23,995 was disbursed to the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation . Of the funds allocated for phase one implementation, $51,000 remains available for disbursement. Since funding for this grant proposal was encumbered, staff has not maintained conversation with DFG. It was anticipated that during the nine-month deferment period, the City would have received results/reporting from the required 10- year monitoring program which was required as part of the original 1997 lagoon restoration project. Contents of this document were anticipated to frame discussion and assessment necessary to address the above-listed objectives. To date, this document has not yet been finalized and submitted to the City. As a result, the Committee may wish to consider recommending that the City Council, award, reprogram or again defer funding originally encumbered for implementation of the project. AGP 06-13-Agua Hedionda Lagoon Trails (Improvement or Construction?) None of the $305,750 has been disbursed to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation for project implementation. AGP 06-15-Discovery Center Improvements None of the $386,000 has been disbursed to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation for project implementation. AGP 06-16-La Posada Farmworker Housing Although $2,000,000 was originally encumbered, only $108,500 was authorized for funding to support preparation of plans and studies so that project costs may be accurately determined and reported to the Committee at a future date. None of the $108,500 has been disbursed to the grantee to proceed with design work; thus, staff does not have enough information to provide the Committee with an accurate projection of future project costs.

The AMA is the owner of the property where the BLF Nature Center resides. A new host/tenant agreement is required and their endorsement of our Conditional Use (CUP)/Coastal Development Permit (CDP) is required before appropriate permitting activities can take place. A meeting was finally held on July 14, 2008 with David Hill, the new AMA Board President to summarize the project. A follow-up letter and copy of the BLF presentation was provided on July 20, 2008 (Copy attached). • A formal presentation for the full AMA Board of Directors has been scheduled for September 18, 2008 where their approval to proceed and authorize AMA and BLF lawyers to develop the new host/tenant agreement. Informal indications are that the AMA will approve the project. • The BLF has begun preparing a new CUP/CDP application. Since we have done this before, this process is well understood. • The BLF has contacted Williams Scottsman, who will be providing the upgraded nature center facility and storage shed, for confirmation of our original project quotes. It appears that the project budget continues to be valid for the project. We expect to make a down-payment on the upgraded facility in the September - October 2008 timeframe (e.g., 50% down). • The BLF has begun getting updated quotes from electrical contractors for burying the electrical service and preparing for the new facility. • The project budget included funds for some educational equipment early in the project. We expect to place orders for Wolfe DigiVu 2.0 Research Digital microscope ($1,561.30) shortly. This microscope will enable us to project images directly on our plasma monitor already installed at our Nature Center. It will also support our environmental science education program and also our water quality monitoring program. We also expect to place orders for some bird-watching scopes and some binoculars for use by the public during our public walks. Exhibit 2 Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation Preserve, P1utect, ,md f.i1/11111cc David Hill President Aviara Master Association 7040 Avenida Encinas, Suite B200 Carlsbad, CA 92011 July 20, 2008 Subject: Batlqultos Lagoon Foundation (BLF) Nature Center Upgrade Project Dear Mr. Hill: I want to thank you for meeting at the Four Seasons -Aviara Argyle Restaurant on Monday, July 14, 2008 to open discussions concerning the BLF's_Nature Center Upgrade Project. As requested, I am following up our meeting with a summary of our project and requesting Aviara Master Association support in preparing materials for our respective boards of directors to subsequently review and act upon. · Our Nature Center has been and continues to be a key and important fixture along the North Shore Trail for the general public. In addition, having an educational information center was a condition of the development permit for Aviara and is reflected in City of Carlsbad and California Coastal Commission permitting and related documents. Since the site, on Aviara Master Association property, was in a zoned area designated as open space, a City of Carlsbad Conditional Use Permit(CUP)/Coastal Development Permit (CDP) was required. From an environmental perspective (e.g., California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA)), a negative declaration was determined to be appropriate. At the time, the City could only grant one year permits which could not be renewed due to the way the zoning was defined in their Local Coastal Program (LCP). For a number of years, the City did not enforce that requirement and informally let us continue to operate our Nature Center. In the 2003 and early 2004 timeframe, the City of Carlsbad asked the BLF to prepare and submit a CUP/CDP to bring our operation in compliance with City requirements. They also recognized that they could only grant a one year CUP/CDP and that ii could not be renewed. They also indicated that they were P. 0. Uox I $04V I Carlsbad, Californin 020 I S~04D 1 • 7HO.H:11.0XOO • w,,tw.batiqui1osft..1mtdntion.org 2 investigating making a change to their LCP, and would try to include making it possible to have temporary structures placed in open-space designated areas. Accordingly, the BLF worked with Aviara Master Association and your lawyer, Simon Peters of Peters and Freedman, to craft a license agreement, and prepare and submit an application for a one year CUP/CDP to operate the a nature center at 7380 Gabbiano Lane. The license agreement was finalized on November 3, 2003 and a one year non- renewable CUP/CDP issued by the City of Carlsbad on January 7, 2004 (copies of both documents are attached). During the 2004-2005 timefrc:ime, the City submitted a technical change package that included modifying their LCP to allow for certain temporary structures like the BLF Nature Center to be placed in areas within the City that were designated as open space. This technical change was later approved by the California Coastal Commission and other regulatory agencies, and allows for CUP/CDP's to be issued for five years and be renewable. The City has also changed their level of approval authorities based on the type and complexlty of CUP's/CDP's. For our proposed Nature Center Upgrade Project, the City Planning Director is authorized to approve it following review by staff. The City would now like us to apply for a new renewable CUP/CDP. As we discussed, the BLF has received a grant from the City of Carlsbad in the amount of $180,732 to upgrade our Nature Center at 7380 Gabbiano Lane, Carlsbad, California. This grant includes funding for a new renewable CUP/CDP, burying the electrical service as earlier requested by you, and bringing the center into compliance with current safety and building codes. The BLF continues to plan for and work towards getting a permanent nature center built, but this process is expected to take years and involve obtaining appropriate funding. We, therefore, are asking Aviara Master Association to work with us to upgrade our existing Nature Center to better serve the community and also to have it better blend in with the surroundings. We would also like to craft a license agreement that better reflects both of our needs. Some characteristics and benefits of the upgraded facility would include: • Replacement of an old "1990 era" construction trailer with a more environmentally friendly and educationally-oriented facility; • Updating utility services, including burying the electrical line and eliminating the above-ground wooden and aging power poles (previously requested by Aviara Master Association); • Improving public safety by providing two entry and exit points in the facility, to be unlocked during regular business hours; • Utilizing the existing site to minimize environmental impacts; 3 • Bringing the facility into compliance with current building and safety codes; and • Satisfying the City's requirement for a renewable CUP/CDP. As part of this upgrade project, we plan to double the space of the facility in such a way as to minimize existing site impacts using a double-wide temporary facility that does not require a permanent foundation. The existing deck, ramp, storage and deck cover would be eliminated, and a simple American's With Disabilities (ADA) compliant ramp installed. This change in ramp structure will almost accommodate the additional space requirement itself. The added space would fit in front of where the existing facility is located, extending towards the paved road to the south. The existing access path and concrete end-pad can be used as is. Finally, we would like to include a detached storage facility to house our trail maintenance tools, program and educational materials, and provide storage for an expected donated trail vehicle. We have identified three viable locations for this facility, as indicated in the presentation package attached. The "drawn" location would be on City of Carlsbad lift station property to the east of the Nature Center and be the subject of separate action through the City. The second, identified by "Circle 1 ", would be just inside the desiltation basin fence to the west of the Nature Center on Aviara Master Association property. This would be our preferred location since it would provide added security by being located inside the fenced-in area on the existing concrete pad. The third, identified by "Circle 2", would be under the trees to the east of the Nature Center, also on Aviara Master Association property. The storage unit would be designed and sited to blend in with the environment and take maximum advantage of existing vegetation features. Concerning our preferred location in the fenced desiltalion basin ("Circle 1"), the BLF would entertain investigating our taking over responsibility for maintaining the basin. I would propose that if considered viable, we work together on this location as part of the license agreement process. My intent in this letter is to request that we work together to develop the details so that our respective boards can then react to the plan and associated documents. Our BLF lawyer, D. Wayne Brechtel of Warden Williams, would work with your legal representatives to develop a draft license agreement which will serve as the foundation for subsequent board review, and hopefully action during the CUP/CDP permitting process. A project timeline is included in the attached presentation material. I request that you authorize our staffs to work together to develop the materials for us to make an Informed decision. 4 Should you or Aviara Master Association Board of Directors have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at (760) 918-2408. I also would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your Board, makes a presentation, and answers any questions at your convenience. , Attachments: Copy of November 3, 2003 License Agreement Copy of City of Carlsbad Planning Commission Notice of Decision of January 7, 2004 Copy of BLF Presentation Slides of July 14, 2008 cc: D.

Each of the projects funded by the grants has been initiated and 2 are complete. The completed projects (drainage and farm road surfacing improvements) have had a substantial positive impact on the farming environment and the production of flowers and bulbs as well as the visitor experience. The remaining projects (barn, cymbidium production, and soil amendment) are well underway and we believe will have a substantial positive impact when complete. While most projects have been completed within budget the Barn construction has required some additional engineering and material costs to meet standards of the City of Carlsbad. The exterior appearance has been softened through the use of a wood treatment to preserve the farming aesthetic and the bathrooms included within the structure have been designed to full City standards. These improvements are consistent with the original application. The aggregate additional costs are currently estimated as $30,000. If funds are available, and the Advisory Committee is willing to consider additional requests, The Flower Fields will augmentation of its grant by the final additional cost. In addition while soil amendment and the reduction in erosion impacts from the improved drainage system have shown up in significantly improved cut flower quality, concerns resulting from water quality ofrecycled water have been highlighted. This concern will have to be addressed in order to capture and continue the gains in quality achieved with production from the existing grant projects. The Flower Fields and its fanning partner have undertaken a significant analysis, and a plan is being developed to address the water quality issue with onsite filtration and storage to allow continued use of reclaimed water while maintaining or improving crop quality. We anticipate significant costs for such a project and if funding is available will request consideration by the Advisory Committee. , o'\ ol9 Soil Amendment: Current status; the first of the five applications of compost was completed in October of 08, with the second application underway at this time. The results from the first application were positive; we had excellent flower quality, heavy stems and high petal count in the individual blooms. Soil texture is improving with each application. ofb ; bfd-9 Drainage system: ~ Current status; completed The surface water drainage system worked well, meeting our expectations. We had several heavy rains in a 2 month period where on occasion, over 2" of rain fell in 3-4 hr period; all surface water was captured and moved into the drains leading to the catchment basins. The system design of regular inlet points every 60' reduced the speed of the surface water resulting in negligible erosion along the furrows and down the slope, this is evidenced by very little silt being moved in to the new drainage system. 0/\.. • IJ. o/Permeable road surface: 1/ Current status; completed ' ~ This has resulted in a firm road/walkway surface improving the walk and drivability through the elimination of most of the soft sandy areas and considerably reducing dust. The color of the improved surface is virtually indistinguishable from the native soil, but i} ~ does not cause prc,ble:ms with farm equipment or visitors from mud or dust. 6 Cymbidium project: ,0 Current status; Shade structure, benches, ground cover, drip water system, injector are ~ completed, side wall vents to be finished by 10/1/08, this will complete the project. The shade house is ideal for the culture ofCymbidium's and we are currently potting and spacing the plants out into the growing area. , olP This shows the completed shade structure with the benches in place ready to receive the young plants. Approximately 1000 young plants have been received are growing with a target for first marketable sales of 2011. cJo Barn project: i-J;J Current status: the soil, engineering, barn and bathroom design are completed. The plans \\: are in the second go around of plan check at the City of Carlsbad building department and Esgill. The site is prepared and ready for construction with sewer and water connections complete to the building edge. The Barn should be complete before the 2009 harvest and visitor season. June 17, 2008 TO: FROM: SENIOR PLANNER SCOTT DONNELL Associate Engineer Steven Jantz -s:::f" AGRICULTURE CONVERSION MITIGATION FUNDING BEACH NOURISHMENT PROJECT Ab-:P =<.,;;,-,o This is a follow-up to our conversation yesterday regarding the payment of an invoice from SANDAG for preliminary work on the next Regional Beach Sand Project an!l the potential for future funding draws for the Carlsbad Beach Preservation Committee/SANDAG Beach Nourishment Project. Recently the city received an invoice from SANDAG to cover preliminary planning activities, including preliminary engineering and off shore sand investigations. On November 6, 2007 the City Council approved Resolution No 2007-288 authorizing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SAND AG to pay a share of the next Regional Beach Sand Project and committing to fund the initial efforts at a cost of$74,500 from the approved Agriculture Conversion Mitigation Fund. Staff is recommending the Planning Department process the invoice for payment. The approved resolution, related City Council Agenda Bill 19,216, and the signed MOU are attached. In 2007, the City Council approved the Carlsbad Beach Preservation Committee's request for a $1.5 million Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fund grant (proposal AGP 06-10 -Carlsbad Beach Nourishment) to implement a stand-alone beach nourishment project benefitting Carlsbad beaches only. The Regional Beach Sand Project, with regards to its Carlsbad component, is similar to and would accomplish the same benefits as the Carlsbad Beach Nourishment project. Recognizing the worthiness of the regional project, the City Council in Resolution 2007-288 (I) states it is appropriate and beneficial to join the region-wide effort and implement beach sand replenishment as part of a region.al, rather than local only, project and, accordingly, (2) allocates $74,500 from the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Funds to provide Carlsbad's prorated share of the planning activities for the next Regional Beach Sand Project. Also, as this project moves forward, additional funding requests will be necessary to cover expenses for the final design, development of a project EIR, resource agency permitting, biological monitoring efforts, and development of the project plans and construction documents. These are all components of the approved AGP 06-10. At this time SANDAG has not finalized costs for these future efforts; detailed cost determinations will be made as the project moves forward. Staff will then request future funding allocations from the approved Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fund grant as the costs become finalized; this future funding from the approve grant was anticipated in the Agenda Bill 19,216 Fiscal Impact section. In any event, the allocation requests will not _exceed the approved Agriculture Conversion Mitigation Funding previously authorized for the Beach Nourishment Project as approved as part of AGP 06-10. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the overall project schedule, while containing the milestones outlined in AGP 06-10, will result in beach sand deposition at the end of 2011. This represents a delay in the approved schedule that is due to the participation in a regional, rather than Carlsbad- only, program. Finally, consistent with the requirements of the approved Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fund grant, the signed MOU states SANDAG agrees to retain the original records for at least 5 years from the date of project completion and make them available to the City of Carlsbad upon request. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to contact me at extension 2738. ---- August 27, 2008 RECEIVED AUG 2 7 2008 CITY OF CARLSBAD .

The survey will include all areas of the west, central, and east basins of the lagoon below the line of vegetation. Contour plots will be generated to document current conditions and provide a comparison to earlier, post-restoration conditions. Tidal Monitoring: To document the degree of tidal muting occurring in the Batiquitos Lagoon system, a tidal program will be initiated in the Spring 2008 and continue for one quarter (March, April, and May). Instruments will be deployed in each basin of the lagoon. Collected data will be compared to measured oceanic tides and the degree of tidal muting and lag determined. • On April 29, 2008, Mayor Lewis signed the agreement and authorized funding the project as described above. • On May 15, 2008, a kick-off meeting was held with: Tim Dillingham, Manager, Batiquitos Lagoon Ecological Reserve, California Department of Fish and Game; Rachel Woodfield, Merkel & Associates; Dr. Anne Spacie, Science Advisor and BLF Board Member; and Fred Sandquist, President, BLF. The project scope was discussed. Since work needed to be conducted from the water and a significant high tide was required to do the work, it was decided that July 2nd and July 31 st timeframes would be appropriate. · • Because of when the project agreement was approved, Merkel & Associates were delayed in getting tide gages into the water and bathymetric data collection until early in the summer due to funding, access, and lagoon high tides (required for "on water" field work). Work began at the first available extreme high tide on July 2, 2008. At that time, tide loggers were deployed in the West, Central, and East basins and collected bathymetric data in all areas not vegetated by eelgrass. Some problems were encountered in getting into some of the areas. On July 10, 2008, Merkel & Associates field team shot in the elevations of each of the tide loggers. On August 11, 12, and 13, 2008, the field team collected bathymetric data in the vegetated areas using a different technique to penetrate the eelgrass. On August 28, 2008, the team expects to fill in a few gaps in bathymetry in the central basin. Once the data are worked up, the team may need to visit the site once more to fill in 3 any gaps that become apparent. Since the tide loggers are to be deployed for one full quarter, we will retrieve them around October 2. Merkel & Associates have collected approximately 85% of the bathymetric field data and are awaiting the extraction of the tide loggers to post-process data for barometric pressure and tide correction. The tide loggers will be pulled after the last bathymetric data collection is completed. This extraction is expected to occur in the October 2, 2008 timeframe. • Status of the results of the 10 year lagoon monitoring report conducted and prepared by Merkel & Associates: The report is in preparation and is now to include the physical context provided by the present bathymetric data collection and tidal monitoring data being collected under the current project. Since the original lagoon monitoring program primarily focused on biological aspects of the lagoon, this new data and information, albeit fairly spartan in terms of the long monitoring history, will add significantly to understanding of the lagoon dynamics, and biological, chemical, and physical conditions. Some sections of the report are currently out for sub- consultant review, while others are still being prepared. Rachel Woodfield from Merkel & Associates is the principal working on this document and it is projected to be out formally in the November 2008 timeframe. • BLF Volunteer Monitoring Program status: During the last 10 months, a. team of three volunteers spent about 160 hours working to develop protocols for sampling key points around the lagoon. Our main focus is on the eastern end of the lagoon where San Marcos Creek and Encinitas Creek contribute freshwater and sediment to the system. Preliminary tests during dry weather (July 2008) showed that brackish water extends well into the lower portions of both creeks. Tidal flow is visible at the Albertson's/La Costa Resort area of San Marcos Creek. These observations will need to be confirmed at several times over the tidal cycle and during various stages of creek flow. This information is critical to understanding the input of sediment and dissolved chemicals to the lagoon from the two watersheds. This information will be shared with Merkel & Associates. The BLF Volunteers are also in the process of coordinating our testing program with that of San Diego Coast Keepers, which maintains a data base on upper San Marcos Creek, San Luis Rey River, and several other north county watersheds. They have an established quality control program that will insure the collection of defensible data by our volunteers. Our members have gone through the Coast Keepers training program and will be using identical protocols for sample collection and analysis. In addition to typical water quality measurements such as dissolved oxygen and pH, the Coast Keepers program will allow bacteriological sampling of the marine portions of the lagoon as well. There are plans for heavy metals testing to be added to the protocols within the next year. All of this information will be essential to the development of a lagoon management plan. 4 Maintenance Activity Status • Pre-restoration work began along the Batiquitos Lagoon North Shore Trail though BLF's cadre of volunteers, including employees from REI (Encinitas) and lnvitrogen, and working parties from Temple Shalom, local Girl Scout troops, Volunteer San Diego, Kid's Corps, and Carlsbad High School's Environmental Science Club. This work is part of BLF's ongoing Weed-whackingl'frail Maintenance volunteer event conducted twice each month, the first and third Saturday's of each month, 12 months a year. Sessions are 4 hours, with credit given for community service hours where appropriate. • A pre-order was placed with Tree of Life Nursery for native plants, to be planted during late 2008/early 2009 wet season. The nursery will be growing the plants for our fall/winter planting. By buying the plants in advance, we guarantee their availability when needed.

Catholic Charities was requested by the Carlsbad City Council to provide the design plans with a construction budget to assure that the stated goals of the project could be accomplished. Catholic Charities agreed and told the City Council that we believe that construction funding would need some augmentation and that state construction funds for Farm Worker Housing were available. We also stated that the real challenge would be in identifying operation funds for the new farm worker housing program. We estimate that the cost of operations for the new facility and La Posada combined will be 250% higher than our current costs. The two primary state funding sources for operations are FESG and EHAP (State Emergency Housing funds). Both funds have experienced significant cuts and increased competition. catholic Charities relies upon both of these state funds to operate La Posada. The revenue for La Posada comes primarily from three sources -State Emergency Housing funds $40,000 -60,000, caring Residents of Carlsbad $30, 000, and the City of Carlsbad · CDBG $5,000. Catholic Charities fills in the gap with funding from our general appeal fund. Each year Catholic Charities contributes a minimum of $100,000 toward operations. Catholic Charities cannot absorb any additional costs for operating the new facility. Before we can move forward we must find ongoing funding for operations. Our grant writer has been diligent in her search to identify program operations funding for Farm Worker Housing. We continue to look but given the current economic climate in the state and nation we are not optimistic that such a fund will be found. We will continue to explore every possibility at the state and federal levels. We would welcome a discussion with the committee that would explore our shared desire to provide housing for farm workers and the harsh reality of the current funding opportunities.
