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 corrununity. Arrang ments have been made,for instance,to insure that all utilities a brought to the building during construction of the Park thanks t the city staff, Joe Eggleston in particular. New electrical wir 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 and lighting, water system, landscaping, gas heating, painting 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 tk: sid of other civic organizations permanently relocated the 01G SL-.

I' e a DATE : OCTOBER 23, 1979 TO : CITY MANAGER FROM: Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: OLD CITY HALL-CATHOLIC CHUIICH BUILDING In March, 1979 the City Council gave their consent to the Carls bad Historical Society to move the old City Hall-Catholic Churc building to the Magee Park site. 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. 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 Counc:il 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 rehat litation, staff feels it necessary to bring the matter before the C3-:?.cil and recoremends that they refer the matter to the Parks x-? Recreztlsn Commission and ask that they hold a pub13 hearin= for citizen input as to the best use of the building, When x-:s is accc:?lished, the Commission should return a re- povt z: -2e Cou-zil in order that a policy decision can be mac They further directed that it could be used i' / /'-y, ' WILLIX-C Z - 3AL3iZ4 Assistar?t City Kinager \ICE: yb +. e e r.+r.Ir - 1 .I4 iJ '(.
