Subject:
CITY LEASED BEACHFRONT
Statement of the Matter.
The City of Carlsbad leases from San Diego Gas and Electric
two beach parcels as shown on the attached exhibit. The
original term of these leases was 8 1/2 years which expired
March 31, 1972, and is now. on a year to year lease which may
be cancelled by either party upon sixty day's notice. The
cost of this lease is $1.00 per year.
San Diego Gas and Electric by letter has asked if the City
would have any objections to relinguishing these leases and
allowing San Diego Gas and Electric to negotiate for their
operation and maintenance by the State Division of Parks and
Beaches.
The City staff has been in the process of negotiating a longer
term lease for these parcels. These negotiations were being
conducted in conjunction with San Diego Gas and Electric's
obligation for improvements on Carlsbad Boulevard. Their
obligation for street improvements does not extend to public
beaches.

Recommendation
The staff recommends that the Council.indicate to San Diego Gas ""
and Electric their concurrence that the entire beach area should
be maintained by the State Park and Beach Department with the
understanding that the nature of the final agreement between the
State and San Diego Gas and Electric would determine whether San
Diego Gas and Electric had met its street improvement obligations
for Carlsbad Boulevard. .

Dear Paul:
Reference is made to the ocean beachfront area
presently leased to the City of Carlsbad by San Diego Gas &
Electric Company (SDG&E).
Please be advised that SDG&E is currently in the
process of granting the State Department of Park and Recrea-
tion permission to operate our Employee's Beach as a public
facility. In negotiation with State Park and Recreation,
they have inquired if it would be possible to include the beach
area presently leased to you.
While this request appears to have merit, we do not
wish to proceed with further consideration without the City's
concurrence.
Because of present State/SDG&E beach ownership con-
figuration and actual land use activities, it would appear
somewhat advantageous if one agency were to control the com-
bined area. Doing so would seem to simplify the need to
provide necessary maintenance and lifeguard protection of the
combined beaches.
It would be appreciated if you would review this
matter and advise if the City would be favorable to State Park
and Recreation operating the ocean beach area presently leased
from SDG&E. A map of the area is attached for your use.
Should you want to discuss this matter in more detail,
I will be glad to meet with you at your convenience.
Sincerely,
G. A. Bishop
