J|5 riTY ATTY VR6 CITY MGR. ^^-^ W Bo .-U-H<; "j3 -H (jig 0) tn S'Jd S^ CO in o O _j O oo RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council adopt Ordinance No. the Carlsbad Municipal Code. The actions to be taken include: amending Chapter 11.24 of 1. Permit board-sailing instruction in the middle lagoon at Agua Hedionda. 2. Reduce the speed limit in Snug Harbor to 5 mph for any power boat or boats pulling water skis. In addition, the marina operator will be required to purchase buoys, which will be installed by the City, at the eastern section of Snug Harbor to create a boat lane. 3. Relocate the jet skis from the east end of the 1-agoon to Snug Harbor. 4. Transfer the lagoon-enforcement program from the Police Department to Parks and Recreation. ITEM EXPLANATION: Board-sail enthusiasts have requested to use the eastern section of Agua Hedionda Lagoon. They contend that power boat usage is down, and with proper controls, board-sailing could be compatible with the existing use. The Parks and Recreation Commission indicated that even though usage of the lagoon has been declining, increasing mixture would be hazardous and could increase the City's liability. The Commission did recommend that board- sailing instruction would be permitted in the middle lagoon. Because of shallow water at low tides (sandbar), congestion, narrow entry way, and unfamiliarity of the area, it is recommended that the speed limit for power boats be limited to 5 mph in Snug Harbor. Also, for better supervision and control, it is suggested that the jet ski activity be relocated from the eastern section of the east lagoon to the Snug Harbor area. The manager of Snug Harbor feels that jet skis are more maneuverable than power boats, and they would not encounter any problems with the sandbar conditions. The Police Department has reported that they are short of personnel and believe that because of the decrease in the lagoon use, the enforcement program can now be handled by the Parks and Recreation Department. It is recommended that a trained specialist in boat operation, public relations, life saving certificates and first aid abilities be employed for the next season. This position will have no citation or arresting powers but will be equipped with a portable radio to contact the Police Department in the event of emergencies and/or major problems. This new program would save approximately $7,600 per year in salaries. Page 2 AB# MTG. 10/5/82 TITLE: Agua Hedionda Lagoon Management DEPT. P & R Program Revision" PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION: At their meeting on June 28, 1982 the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the above action. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed changes will decrease the expenditures from $18,500 to $10,750 (42%). It is estimated the City will generate $10,000 in revenue during Fiscal Year 1982-83 from the sale of boat permits and launching fees. The program will then be approximately 100% self- supporting.
