Dr. EcQw Lutr At the present time this property has had 1ittl.e or no use,. Also, at the present time, as Council is aware, we are serving 4000 persons monthly with inadequate +4+ space to do so. Jwk k4. Jlnimlid Exscutlve Dlractor Clly Councll Reprasonlstlve We feel that a 10,000 square foot building could be etected, and be adequate for the time being. I need not remind Council that the present senior population reflects 10,000 persons over the age of 60, However, .under the newly revised regional growth forcasts, Carlsbad population will rise to 65,456 within the next 6 or 7 years. Predicated on rising senior population per capita, in seven years we would have a senior population of 21,815 over the age of 60 years. It has been stated that all 10,000 current seniors do not participate. That is true. However, many who are not participating are not doing so because of our lack of adequate facilities. c- c Council is aware that the City of Carlsbad has what is probably the most solid based tax position of any city this size in the State of California. We woul'd also remind Council that the City of Carlsbad is the only community in North County that hasn't built a senior center to serve the elderly. The City of Carlsbadspurchase of social services is at a cost of $37,825 per year. The cities of Oceanside, Vista and Escondido have not only utilized Comm- unity BI-ock Development Grants and Revenue Sharing Funds properly for the seniors, but are currentlv spending approx- imately $100,000 per year in Oceanside, $120,000 per year in Escondido, while the City o'f Vista erected a Senior Center and donatci! to Vista Seniors Incorporated. The seniors, in turn, manage and maintain this center at their own expense. EX1 I I I3 XT 1 Page 2 Honorable Mayor and Council Members: This is the opportune time to establish a common goal. By utilizing the acreage at Magce Park we can develop adequate facilities to deliver the proper social services to our fragile-at-risk population, establish educational and re- creational programs, and prepare and serve 'proper nutritional diets to our seniors. The Association has, organized a Building Trust Committee which . has been commissioned to raise funds. These funds will come from the community-at-large, corporations who donate funds for this specific purpose, and foundations who support these efforts with matching funds. On a positive note, we would like to acknowledge the support given the Association to this point, ask you for your support . in committing this property to develop facilities that would not only serve the senior population, but supply much needed space for the whole community. i 'i I.
