Statement of the flatter
The San Diego Board of Supervisors has proposed that the City of Carlsbad participate in the purchase of approximately 2500 acres adjacent to City Water Department property commonly referred to as
Lake Calavera. For several years the Lake Calavera property which consists of 257 acres has been held in an unuseable condition at the expense of the City service area water consumers. The San Die@ County Board of Supervisors have so far taken no positive action tc purchase it for park purposes. Bond debt service charges cost watt consumers of the City Water Department service area on an average
of $180,000.0~ gearly, according to the letter from the CMWD Citizi Advisory Commit ee.
The CMWD Citizens Advisory Committee is unanimously opposed to thc San Diego Board of Supervisors proposal that the City of Carlsbad participate in the purchase of the adjacent property, therefore, tl Committee feels it incumbent at this time to present alternatives and time schedules to the City Council relative to the Lake Calave property.

Honorable David ki. Dunne Piayor, City of Carlsbad 1203 Elm Avenue Carlsbad, Cal i forni a 92008
Dear Mayor Dunne:
At the regular meeting of the CMiWD Citizens Advisory Committee, July 19,
1973, the members present were unanimously opposed to the proposal of the San Diego Board of Supervisors for the City of Carlsbad to participai
in the purchase of approximately 2500 acres adjacent to the City Nater Department property commonly referred to as Lake Cal avera.
The water consumers of the City Water Department service area are paying bond debt service charges or: the average of $180,000.00 yearly, which is a big factor in the studies now being conducted by this Committee. There- it was deemed to be incumbent upon this Committee to recommend a consensi of alternative actions that should be taken by the City Council resardin! the Lake Calavera property.
For several years this property bas been held in an unuseable condition (
the expense of the City service area water consumers, while the San Diegc County Board of Supervisors have failed to take any positive action to purchase it for park purposes. If past performance can be used as a critr no positive action will be taken by the County so long as the water cons of the City of Carlsbad will continue to pay !j180,000.00 per year to hol 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 acti
1. The entire 257 acres be offered to the County of San Di ego for outright purchase at fair market value. Such purchase agreement to be executed by Cecember 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 $185,000 per year with combined principal and interest plus legal reserves requirements as set forth in our outstanding water works bond issue Paynent dates to be arranged so as to meet the bond redemption pay- ment dates.
3. The County of San Diegs enter into an option to purchase agreemc for a yearly option fees not to be applied to the purchase prices sufficient to pay all interest plus legal reserve requirements of ( outstanding waterworks revenue bonds.

Honorable D. M. Dunne July 26, 1973
In the event the County of San Diego fails to enter into one of the a1 ternati ve purchase agreements by Decerher 31 , 1973, the Ci “cy Counci 1 of Carlsbad, at their first regular meeting in January, 1974, call for bids for the Lake Calavera property on each of the following alternatives
1. Land Lease of approximately 157 acres for residential development at a minimum yearly lease fee of $200,000.00 for a minimum period of 30 years. Such land lease to incur at least lake shoreline devel optxent by the 1 essee for pub1 i c park purposes. The approxi matel 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 development.
It is further the consensus of this Committee that all revenues received shall be ear-marked by Ordinance to first be used to pay prificipal and interest of our Waterworks 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 Carlsba are being penalized at an average of $180,000.00 per year to subsidize the County of San Giego Regional Park program until some positive action is taken by the City Council to dispose of this presently unuseable property.

I am writing in regard to the January 18, 1966 meeting of the City
Council in which I was OR the agenda for a request of a sewer easement.
Z would like to state that P was not aware of the City Council
meeting that evening and that I would like the right to present to the
City Council the benefits which would favor the City sf Carlsbad. This
I was intending to do but was not Gotified that this item was placed on
the agenda.
Under the circumstances and with no one speaking in favor of said
easement, I feel the City of Carlsbad acted correctly.
Fly request Ps again submitted with the further understanding that I
will be notified as to when this wP1l be placed on the City of Carlsbad
agenda so that 'I may be present and represent myself, -_ -_

TO : CITY COUNCIL
FROM : CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Request for Sewer Easement by Mr. Jack McElhose.
1. The proposed sewer easement as requested by Mr. McElhose
and recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission is
of only partial value to the City of Carlsbad, The total
de*elopment of Lake Calaveras will depend largely upon the
Master Plan for sewer facilities as prepared, presented
and approved by the City Council.
2. The utilization of Oceanside sewer facilities creates
several problems:
a. The court ruling regarding operation of the Oceanside
Sewage Treatment Plant located on Vista Way speciflic-
ally requires the City of Oceanside to maintain said
plant in a manner in which no odors emanate from said
facilities. Should the City accept Mr. McElhose's
request, we Would then be adding sewage to a plant
and placing the City in a precarious position whenevf
it becomes objectionable, and the City of Carlsbad
attempts to take the necessary steps for removal of
the said plant.
establish a precedent which would place the City of
Carlsbad in a precarious position should Oceanside
request arrangement for use of our Joint Sewer Syster
3. Conceivably, the proposal presented by Mr. McElhose coul
conflict with the future total development of Lake Cala-

can obtain the cooperation of the City of Oceanside in t
matter.

5. The person benefiting the most from this proposal, is, of

Therefore, it is recommended that this request for sewer servi
through Lake Calaveras be denied.
