Through generous contributions of The Friends of the Library($700+) and from the Humphries Construction Co, who built the foundation The Historical Society was able to go the extra mile and actually complete the move including the foundation at a cost of $4,580 total costs. There are still many things to do to make this excellent 1500 square foot structure safe and useable to the community. Arrang ments have been made,for instance,to insure that all utilities a brought to the building during construction of the Park thanks t and lighting, water system, landscaping, gas heating, painting and repairing of stucco still needs to be accomplished. Although most of this work will be volunteered, the costs of the materials in a large part will not be donated; The Historical Society therefore is making the following request formally to th city. The Historical Society after showing good faith and its ability to perform constructive tasks on behalf of the community in havi safely, effectively and economically, by incorporating and encou aging the aid of other civic organizations permanently relocated the Old St. Patrick's Church/City Eall/Library including the con struction of the Foundation, requests the City of Carlsbad to a1 the Historical Society of Carlsbad to act as project manager for the total restoration of the subject property. The historical Society will seek out, organize and utilize Community support ar financial aid to complete the project to the degree that the con munity will participate. For taking on the responsibility of the completion of this pro]€ the Historical Society requests that the City of Carlsbad make available for the purchase of materials the Three Thousand Nine Hundred Dollars(S3,900)that was allocated for the demolition of subject property in the contract for the construction of the City of Carlsbad the city staff, Joe Eqgleston in particular. New electrical wir a e Harding St. Center. We would suggest that these funds, if granted for the specific use above, be administered by the contracts administrator to assure the city that they are being used in proper and designate manner. orable body does not elect to provide those funds to the project as proposed, to continue to see the project through to completio through funding provided by our Society and other community grou Enclosed is a preliminary schedule for the accomplish.ment of the necessary work to completely restore the building to community use by the time the landscaping of McGee Park is completed in th Spring of 1980.

At that time Council instruct that before it was placed, it would be necessary to have a foun dation constructed. A foundation was constructed by volunteer labor and the materials and the building was set in place in th Magee Park site. They further directed that it could be used by the Library for book storage and sorting but not by organi- zations. In August, 1979 the City Manager's office received a joint request from the Carlsbad Historical Society and the Carlsbad Senior Citizens for hook-up to the sewer and the necessary E.D. to enable the building to be used. In October, a request was received from the Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League to use the building for art display and instructional purposes. In Octobc a letter was received from Roy Ward, on behalf of the Carlsbad Historical Society, asking the Council permit them to rehabili, tate the building and consider authorizing $3,900 for material They thought this amount was earmarked previously for demoliti of the building. This sum of money was a HDC Grant and no por of that grant was earmarked specifically for the demolition of the old building. Mr. Ward's letter indicates that the buildi can be rehabilitated for approximately $8,500. The City's Bui ing Official estimates rehabilitation of the building to be between $32,000 and $43,000. Since there is so much interest in this building and its rehak litation, staff feels it necessary to bring the matter before the Council and recommends that they refer the matter to the Parks and Recreation Commission and ask that they hold a publi hearing for citizen input as to the best use of the building. When this is accomplished, the Commission should return a re- port to the Council in order that a policy decision can be mac WILLIAM C.
