Statement of the Matter
The City of Carlsbad Ad Hoc Pool Committee (including Councilmen Frazee and Lewis) and the Communi-ty Swimming Pool Committee seem to be in general agreement that there is a need in the City of Carlsbad for a 'community swimming pool. There also seems to be agreement between.the City and the Carlsbad Unified School 'District that the most practical - and feasible means for acquiring the swimming pool is to utilize a joint powers agreement. The staff and the citizens committee and the school district have been working for many months on this project. The Council has previously accepted the report of the Community Committee. .If the Council approves, Staff is prepared to go forward with the project.
It 7s Staff's intention to fund a portion of the bonds to be issued' by the joint powers agency with funds from the transient occupancy tax. The Finance Dfrector has.indicated this fund will be more than adequate for that purpose. If the Council approves-going forward with the joint powers agreement, Staff also recommends an allocation from the General Fund of $5,000.00 to employ an architect to prepare preliminary drawings. Whien the joint powers agreement is executed and -the authority functioning, the General Fund would be reimbursed by the swimming pool authority.

Staff Recommendations to the City Manager

RB No. Date: Sept. 18, 1973
It is recommended that the Council: (1) adopt a motion authorizing the Staff to proceed with the community pool project utilizing a joint powers agreement between the City and the Carlsbad Unified School District to be financed by revenue bonds sup orted, in part, with funds from the transient occupancy tax; and (2 P accept resolution no. authorizing the expenditure not to exceed $5,000.00 for the employment of an architect to prepare preliminary drawings for the pool.
If the Council so wishes, these other positions could be taken.
1. Petition eligible voters , 2. Special election 3. Aprll ballot
As a reminder, Staff wishes to state that by petitions and by ballot the citizens of Carlsbad already have given approval by majority vote to the construction of the pool.
City Manager's Recommendation
The City Manager feels that there are certain decisions that the City Council must make in regard to the swimming pool
matter and they are as follows:
1. Does the City Council look with favor on a public swimming pool?
2. If the City Council does look with favor on a swimming pool, do they also look with favor on pursuing the matter with a Joint Powers
Agreement?
3. If the City Council does look with favor on a Joint Powers
Agreement, the City Attorney should be requested to render an opinion on utilizing a Joint Powers Agreement for the construction of a swimming pool,
Council Actinn 1 Regarding the appropriation of $5,000.00 for an architect, it is not a budgeted amount and the City Council will have to determine if they desire to take this amount of money out of the General Fund.
9-18-73 This matter was deferred to the regular meeting of the Council on October 2, 1973.
10-2-73 Continued to October 16, 1973.
10-16-73 The staff was instructed to prepare an initiative in order that
it can be included on the ballot for the General Election in March, 1974.

I.
The objective of this committee is to recommend
a swimming facility that is d.esiqned and located to
best serve the needs of the.tota1 community. Funding
recommendations for the pool complex construction and
operation are included. We endorse a Z-shaped pool
with two twenty-five (25) yard lencrths and a fiftv -,
1'50) meter length, located at the intersection of
Magnolia and Valley Streets as most nearly satisfying
the stated object.i?:~f~. It is further recommended that
the construction cost of $438,416 be funded from the
transient occupancy tax revenues and that annual
maintenance and operation expenses of $53,000 be pid
.out of n combj-nation of sources: public use fqes,
school distxict rental, transient occupancy tax revenues,
and General Fund subsidy.
Since the location recommended is on school property,
the school board gave the committee a hearing and
expressed an interest in working with the City on
establishing a joint powers agreemknt for the construction
of a cormunity swinuning pool complex. In addition,
the glanning Commission in a study session expressed
tentative approval of the plan recommended in this
report. The Parks and Recreation Commission has heartily
endorsed this recommendation as presented to them.

Based upon the above data and calculating the present population of 16,000, the size pool recomwcnded, in square

LOCATION
After many h7eeks of discussion and concerned study,
the Swimmincj Pool study Committee recommends the
"Magnolia Park Site" as its choice for the location of
-
a Community Pool in Carlsbad.
The "Magnolia Park Site" has advantages which should
be noted:
1. T1-1j.s site has three (3) iiseahle acres, all
of which a.re at approximate street level and
require little or no grading.
2. Thz site j-s located in a low traffic area
according to the latest traffic count.
3. Sixty-f ive (65) parking spaces are available
on this site with potential parking area
at adjacent schools. (96 additional
improved spaces alreadv exist at Magnolia and
Valley Schools. )
4. This site is at the approximate center of
the City's population and at the same time
is readily available to the High School
and the Junior IIigh School.
..

c
5. At this site automobile and pedestrian
traffic entering and leaving the pool
complex is oriented away from the'residential
area.
6. The pool is well screened from neighborhood
homes by the landscaping of this site and
bv its location adjacent to two schools.
7. This site has, long been programed by the
City for a neighborhood Park.
