TITLE PUBLIC HEARING ON 1984-85 OPERATING
BUDGET
CITY MOR.=
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Hold a public hearing on the proposed 1984-85 operating budget.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The total proposed operating budget is about $22.7 million compared to estimated expenditures for 1983-84 of $19.3 million. This represents an increase of 17.6% or about $3.4 million. Operating
revenues from all funds for 1984-85 will total $23.2 million,
about $2.3 million above the estimated revenue for 1983-84 of
$20.9 million.
Thesefigures reflect the growth in demand for services and revenues generated by the healthy economy that has existed in Carlsbad for the past 18 months. The forecasts included in the proposed budget are based on the City continuing to experience this relatively high level of economic activity.
The proposed general fund budget is $16.8 million, an increase of

heads that we will have an opportunity at that meeting to address the Council
on any program or items that have been deleted from our requests. It is with
that in mind that I am taking this opportunity to urge you to consider
adding back a new street striping machine to the Streets' budget. This machine
will include new capabilities not currently available in our present rig; will
increase our productivity and will allow us to reduce the size of our normal
paint crew from four to three.

New Capabilities
I would ask that each of you drive along Marron Road from Monroe across the
Jefferson Street bridge into Oceanside prior to the meeting of the 12th.
Both jurisdictions have recently refreshed the striping -- Carlsbad's is
oversprayed, the center lines are not sharp, you can see previous paint
markings and the transitions (where the turn pockets merge into the double
divider lines) are very sloppy -- Oceanside's, on the other hand, are very
crisp, the double yellow lines are very distinct and stand out because of the
black paint stripe which is applied simultaneously with the two yellow stripes.
The rig I am requesting has this additional black paint gun and can paint all
three stripes at the same time -- the rig will have five paint drums ( as com-
pared to our present two) which will provide for the capability of painting
yellow, white and black all during the same cycle.
that it return to the yard and have the pots cleaned before doing the next
cycle; additionally, the present guns are manually adjusted -- the new rig
can be set hydraulically to get the sharpest spray pattern.
Our present rig requires
Increased Productivity

2.
The additional pots allow all colors to be carried at all times as
outlined above.
The new rig will allow us to reduce the paint crew by one person
(from 4 to 3) -- presently, we are required to have a lead truck, the
paint rig, and a following truck with a man in the back placing cones.
The lead truck will be eliminated with the new rig:

3. The present rig must be towed to a work site at no more than 15 - 25 MPII,
The new rig can proceed at regular speeds since the spray heads can be
fully retracted and will not be damaged when going over cross gutters or
other road obstructions.
Contract vs. City Crews
The cities of Poway and Santee have their striping done under contract.
Applying the rates charged to our lane mileage, it would cost about $147,000
each year. Our projected costs, including material, pay and equipment, are
about $75,000 each year. The latter cost was computed while developing our
Maintenance Management System and will be further refined, however, I believe
it is adequate to demonstrate that city forces can do this function cheaper.
Based on the arguments I have presented, I believe that the budget request
for $60,000 for the purchase of a new striping machine is fully justified
and urgently needed. The present machine is 12 years old; it is costly to
maintain; it is less efficient and does not provide as good service as is
possible. I urge you to consider adding this item back into the Streets'
maintenance budget.

Community Center/Gymnasium Proposal June 4, 1984 Page 2
Fiscal Impact
The cost to build a 10,000-14,000 square foot facility has been estimated to be $1,000,000.
Included in the Public Facility Fee computations is $7,000,000; $1,000,000 for the construction of each facility within the community park system. In
addition, the Park-in-lieu fee provides money for land or money to purchase land for recreational facilities.
Discussion
The revised Council-adopted Parks & Recreation Element under Facility Planning 1.6, Policy C-6 states that, "Priority should be given to the acquisition of land within the City's northwest quadrant for expansion of existing recreational opportunities. I'
The Parks Master Plan proposes that a community center/gymnasium be constructed in each of the 7 delineated community parks throughout the City to serve a population of approximately 20,000 and a service ratio of 2 miles. Attachment A). (Refer to
The existing facility in the City's northwest quadrant does not meet the recreation program demands because of design constraints and current usage agreements. In order to conduct a limited indoor athletic program, the department is required to rent facilities from:
- Boys and Girls Club in Carlsbad and Oceanside - City of Vista Brengle Terrace Community Center - Latter Day Saints Church - Carlsbad High School , when available
Not knowing if we have a home or not causes us to have a problem in meeting the public demands in a wide range of recreational activities. We experience problems in scheduling, being bumped, having to use facilities outside the City, which creates a financial impact and limits participation for the youth and adult users.
Maintenance & Operation Impact
Maintenance & Operation $1 00,000 annually Revenue Project? on 25 000 annually Net ~$75,ooo annually
Community Center/Gymnasi urn Proposal June 4, 1984 Page 3
Summary
Currently, the Parks & Recreation Department shares the use of Harding Community Center with the Senior Citizens Association. concept causes us both problems as it limits the use potential of the center. Even with the Senior Citizens Association located in another area we still would not meet the user demand for indoor athletic activities, such as:
This shared-use
- Basketball - full court and 3-person - Volleyball - Badminton - Indoor soccer - Weight training - Gymnastics - Exercise programs - Floor hockey - Various tournaments
The proposed center will also be available for a wide range of public use on a rental basis.
