No estimate concerning the timing of this project can be given. Funding for pre- liminary work has been appropriated in the 1974-75 fiscal year budget.

By order of Congress the Bicentennial celebration of our nationa'l birthday began on March lst, this .year. Attached are some news clippings announcing the start of the Bicenten- nial Era. 2. You have been kept informed on the status of the or- ganization and programs of the Carlsbad Bicentennial Committee. In our opinio'n we are well-organized and have a good program established. The more difficult part lies ahead,.i. e., im- plementation of the various projects and programs. received approval of the Council at the time our application was submitted for recognition as a Bicentennial Community, were a number of projects which involved the City as a lead agency. These were chosen because: 3. Included in the Carlsbad Bicentennial program, which A. they fitted well into one or more of the Bicen- tennial themes B, they had wide citizen interest and support, and C. they were projects which had been before the Council on previous occasions and had been parti- ally planned and staffed. 'These programs are: A. Magee Residence Restoration - restore this his- toric residence for use of the Parks and Recre- ' ation Department and the Carlsbad Historical Society , B; Community Center and Swimming Pool - construction MEMORANDUM TO M!--'7R AND CITY COUNCIL March 10, 1975 Page Two of a swimming pool and Community Center for the City of Carlsbad at a site to be determined, t €. Hosp Grove Park - conduct studies and engineering. . for potential development of a park in the Hosp %rove. 4. In addition to the above listing two other worthwhile projects of less magnitude have been added to the Carlsbad Bi- centennial program and are presented for your consideration, to wit: A. Band Stand construct a Band Stand in Holiday Park for use by groups and organizations at ap- proved functions, . B. Maxton Brown Park Extension - development of the site of the old sewer plant as a park. These two projects have been discussed with staff and several Council members on various occasions. They are projects which can be accomplished during the Bicentennial period and would be attractive 'additions to the City Park system. . 5. In order for the Bicentennial Committee to assist in these projects and coordinate'the work of the clubs, groups, and organizations who have volunteered their services certain information is requested: A. what is their present status, B. what is planned for FY 75-76 for each project, such as funding, planning, initiation, and com- pletion, C. should any of these projects be removed from the Bicentennial program for Carlsbad due to lack of funds or for other reasons? D. The Bicentennial Committee and volunteer organi- zations have plans to work with the City on cer- tain facets of each project. Your suggestions as to how we could best contribute to the joint ef- fort would be appreciated. 6. No attempt has been made to recommend priorities on these projects. However, it is suggested that emphasis be -placed on the Magee Residence restoration, construction of the Band Stand, and completion of the Maxton Brown Park Extension. Positive action on these are within City and Bicentennial ca- pabilities and their completion during the Bicentennial period would gi-ve visible evidence of our dedication to the Bicenten- ,- MEMORANDUM TO MP-"3R March 10, 1975 Page Three AND CITY COUNCIL nial effort. be happy to discuss these matters with you, or designated mem- bers of the'City Staff, in more detail at any time at your con- venience. 7.
